EXPLANATORY NOTE

COMBINED FORM 10-K

This 2021 Annual Report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 of Hertz Global and Hertz.

Hertz Global owns all shares of the common stock of Hertz through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC.

Management operates Hertz Global and Hertz as one enterprise. The management of Hertz Global consists of the same members as the management of Hertz. These individuals are officers of Hertz Global and Hertz and employees of Hertz. The members of Hertz's board of directors are all executive officers of Hertz Global.

Between May 22, 2020, the Petition Date, and June 30, 2021, the Effective Date, the Debtors operated as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In general, as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors were authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of Hertz Global and Hertz into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhancing investors' understanding of Hertz Global and Hertz by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both Hertz Global and Hertz; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined annual report instead of two separate annual reports.

Hertz generally through its subsidiaries holds all of the revenue earning vehicles, property, plant and equipment and all other assets, including the ownership interests in consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures and VIEs. Hertz conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a corporation with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by Hertz Global and cash exercises of Hertz Global Public Warrants, which may be contributed to Hertz, Hertz generates required capital through its operations or through its incurrence of indebtedness.

Hertz Global does not conduct business itself, other than issuing public equity or debt obligations or receiving proceeds from cash exercises of public warrants from time to time, and incurring expenses required to operate as a public company. Hertz Global and Hertz have entered into a master loan agreement whereby Hertz Global may borrow from Hertz up to $25 million. Transactions recorded under the master loan agreement are eliminated upon consolidation at the Hertz Global level but not upon consolidation at the Hertz level. Differences between the financial statements of Hertz Global and Hertz are generally limited to the activity described above and the remaining assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Hertz Global and Hertz are the same on their respective financial statements.

Although Hertz is generally the entity that enters into contracts and holds assets and debt, Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, and therefore, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also generally apply to Hertz Global. In the sections that combine disclosures of Hertz Global and Hertz, this report refers to actions as being actions of the Company, or Hertz Global, which is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and Hertz Global operates the business through Hertz. When appropriate, Hertz Global and Hertz are named specifically for their individual disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of Hertz Global and Hertz are separately disclosed and explained.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OUR COMPANY

Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns Hertz, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.

We are engaged principally in the business of renting vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands, and we operate our vehicle rental business globally from approximately 11,400 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, the Middle East and New Zealand. We remain one of the largest worldwide vehicle rental companies and our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized globally. We have an extensive network of airport and off airport rental locations in the U.S. and in all major European markets. In addition to vehicle rental, we provided integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary, which sold substantially all of its assets and certain liabilities on March 30, 2021 (the "Donlen Sale"), as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, affecting multiple global regions. The impact of this pandemic has been extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses around the world. In an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, many governments around the world placed significant restrictions on travel, individuals voluntarily reduced their air and other travel in attempts to avoid the outbreak, and many businesses announced closures and imposed travel restrictions. In 2021, individuals across the globe have increasingly gained access to COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly in the U.S. As a result, many of the government-imposed restrictions have been lifted or eased, and travel, particularly domestic leisure travel, has experienced a strong rebound. There remains continued uncertainty about the duration of the negative impact from COVID-19 and its variants, including the length and scope of travel restrictions and business closures that may be imposed by governments of impacted countries or voluntarily undertaken by individuals and private businesses.

Emergence from Bankruptcy

On May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court under the caption In re The Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW).

On May 14, 2021, the Debtors filed the Plan of Reorganization, and the solicitation version of the Supplement to the Disclosure Statement which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on May 14, 2021. On June 10, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On June 30, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 (the "Chapter 11 Emergence"). For additional information about our restructured debt and new equity in connection with the Plan of Reorganization, see Note 6, "Debt," and Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report. Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk. The information on this website is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this 2021 Annual Report.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Our Strategy

Our strategy is focused on excellence in execution of our rental operations, electrification of the fleet, shared mobility, connected cars and exiting vehicles from the fleet directly to consumers. Our core assets and capabilities underpin this strategy and our partnerships with Tesla, Uber and Carvana are positioning us at the center of the modern mobility ecosystem. We will continue building on our brand strength and global fleet management expertise, combining it with new investments in technology, electrification, shared mobility and a digital-first customer experience. Our key fleet management capabilities will allow us to diversify and profitably grow in new areas of the mobility sector.

OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with our Chapter 11 Emergence and changes in how our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, we revised our reportable segments to include Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean in our Americas RAC reportable segment, which historically was our U.S. RAC reportable segment; these regions had previously been included in our International RAC reportable segment. Accordingly, all periods have been restated to conform with the revised presentation. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with its operating segments, as follows:
Americas RAC - Rental of vehicles as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated rental locations in this segment and we also have franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under our brands; and
International RAC - Rental and leasing of vehicles as well as sales of value-added services in locations other than the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated rental locations, a majority of which are in Europe. Our franchisees and partners also operate rental locations in approximately 110 countries and jurisdictions, including many of the countries in which we also have company-operated rental locations.

Also, in the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the Donlen Sale, as further disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report, the All Other Operations reportable segment which was primarily comprised of the Donlen business was no longer deemed to be a reportable segment.

In addition to the above reportable segments, we have corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.

For further financial information on our segments, see (i) Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment" and (ii) Note 19, "Segment Information," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

Americas RAC and International RAC Segments

Brands
htz-20211231_g1.jpg
Our Americas RAC and International RAC vehicle rental businesses are primarily operated through three brands — Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty. We offer multiple brands in order to provide customers a full range of rental services at different price points, levels of service, offerings and products. Each of our brands generally maintains separate airport counters, reservations, marketing and other customer contact activities. We achieve synergies across our brands by, among other things, utilizing a single fleet and fleet management team and combined vehicle maintenance, vehicle cleaning and back office functions, where applicable.

Our top tier brand, Hertz, is one of the most recognized brands in the world offering premium services that define the industry. This is consistent with numerous published best-in-class vehicle rental awards that we historically have won both in the U.S. and internationally. We go to market under the tagline of “Hertz. Let's Go!” which represents our commitment to quality, seamless travel and customer service. We have a number of innovative offerings, such as Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, Hertz Ultimate Choice and unique vehicles offered through our EV fleet and specialty collections. We continue to maintain our position as a premier provider of vehicle rental services through an intense focus on service, loyalty, quality and product innovation.

Our smart value brand, Dollar, is the choice for financially-focused travelers looking for a dependable car at a price they can afford. The Dollar brand’s main focus is serving the airport vehicle rental market, comprised of family, leisure and small business travelers. Dollar’s tagline of “We never forget whose dollar it is” indicates the brand’s mission to provide a reliable rental experience at a price that works. Dollar operates primarily through company-owned locations in the U.S. and Canada.

Our deep value brand, Thrifty, is the brand for cost-conscious travelers to find a good deal. The Thrifty brand’s main focus is serving the airport vehicle rental market, comprised of leisure travelers. Thrifty’s tagline “The Absolute Best Car for Your Money” indicates the brand’s focus on being the rental company that puts you in control of where you splurge and where you save. Thrifty operates primarily through company-owned locations in the U.S. and Canada.

In certain locations outside the U.S., we also offer our Firefly brand which is a deep value brand for price conscious leisure travelers. We have Firefly locations servicing local area airports in select non-U.S. leisure markets where other deep value brands have a significant presence.

Operations

Locations

We operate our brands at both airport and off airport locations which utilize common vehicle fleets, are supervised by common country, regional and local area management, use many common systems and rely on common vehicle maintenance and administrative centers. Additionally, our airport and off airport locations utilize common marketing activities and have many of the same customers. We regard both types of locations as aspects of a single, unitary, vehicle rental business. Off airport revenues comprised approximately 32% of our worldwide vehicle rental revenues in 2021 and approximately 46% in 2020. Our Americas RAC vehicle rental operations have company-operated locations primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Our International RAC vehicle rental operations have company-operated locations in Australia, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Airport

We have approximately 1,900 airport rental locations in our Americas RAC segment and approximately 1,400 airport rental locations in our International RAC segment. We believe that our extensive global network of locations contributes to the consistency of our service, cost control, Vehicle Utilization, competitive pricing and our ability to offer one-way rentals.

For our airport company-operated rental locations, we have obtained concessions or similar leasing agreements or arrangements, granting us the right to conduct a vehicle rental business at the respective airport. Our concessions were obtained from the airports' operators, which are typically governmental bodies or authorities, following either negotiation or bidding for the right to operate a vehicle rental business. The terms of an airport concession typically require us to pay the airport's operator concession fees based upon a specified percentage of the revenues we generate at the airport, subject to a minimum annual guarantee. Under most concessions, we must also pay fixed rent for terminal counters or other leased properties and facilities. Most concessions are for a fixed length of time, while others create operating rights and payment obligations that are terminable at any time. As a result of the impact from COVID-19 we received rent concessions in the form of abatement and payment deferrals of fixed and variable rent payments for certain of our airport locations. See Note 9, "Leases," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report for further details.

The terms of our concessions typically do not forbid us from seeking, and in a few instances actually require us to seek, reimbursement from customers for concession fees we pay; however, in certain jurisdictions the law limits or forbids our doing so. Where we are required or permitted to seek such reimbursement, it is our general practice to do so. Certain of our concession agreements may require the consent of the airport's operator in connection with material changes in our ownership. A growing number of larger airports are building consolidated airport vehicle rental facilities to alleviate congestion at the airport. These consolidated rental facilities provide a more common customer experience and may eliminate certain competitive advantages among the brands as competitors operate out of one centralized facility for both customer rental and return operations, share consolidated busing operations and maintain image standards mandated by the airports.

Off Airport

We have approximately 3,500 off airport locations in our Americas RAC segment and approximately 4,600 off airport rental locations in our International RAC segment. Our off airport rental customers include people who prefer to rent vehicles closer to their home or place of work for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. Our off airport customers also include people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies following accidents in which their vehicles were damaged, those expecting to lease vehicles that are not yet available from their leasing companies and replacement renters. In addition, our off airport customers include drivers for our TNC Partners, which is further described in “TNC Rentals” below.

When compared to our airport rental locations, an off airport rental location typically uses smaller rental facilities with fewer employees, conducts pick-up and delivery services and serves replacement renters using specialized systems and processes. On average, off airport locations generate fewer transactions per period than airport locations.

Our off airport locations offer us the following benefits:
Provide customers a more convenient and geographically extensive network of rental locations, thereby creating revenue opportunities from replacement renters, non-airline travel renters and airline travelers with local rental needs;
Provide a more balanced revenue mix by reducing our reliance on air travel and therefore reducing our exposure to external events that may disrupt airline travel trends;

Contribute to higher Vehicle Utilization as a result of the longer average rental periods associated with off airport business, compared to those of airport rentals;
Insurance replacement rental volume is less seasonal than that of other business and leisure rentals, which permits efficiencies in both vehicle and labor planning; and
Cross-selling opportunities exist for us to promote off airport rentals among frequent airport Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program renters and, conversely, to promote airport rentals to off airport renters.

Customers and Business Mix

We conduct various sales and marketing programs to attract and retain customers. Our sales force calls on companies and other organizations whose employees and associates need to rent vehicles for business purposes or for replacement rental needs, including insurance and leasing companies, automobile repair companies and vehicle dealers. In addition, our sales force works with membership associations, tour operators, travel companies, TNC and other groups whose members, participants and customers rent vehicles for either business or leisure purposes. We advertise our vehicle rental offerings through a variety of traditional media channels, partner publications (e.g., affinity clubs and airline and hotel partners), direct mail and digital marketing. In addition to advertising, we conduct other forms of marketing and promotion, including travel industry business partnerships and press and public relations activities. As a result of cost-reduction initiatives, we have reduced the extent of our marketing and advertising activities over the last two years. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment" for further details.

We categorize our vehicle rental business based on the purpose and type of location from which customers rent from us. The following charts set forth the percentages of rental revenues and rental transactions in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments based on these categories.

Customers who rent from us for “business” purposes include those who require vehicles in connection with commercial activities, including drivers for our TNC Partners and delivery service providers, the activities of governments and other organizations or for temporary vehicle replacement purposes. Most business customers rent vehicles from us on terms that we have negotiated with their employers or other entities with which they are associated, and those terms can differ from the terms on which we rent vehicles to the general public. We have negotiated arrangements relating to vehicle rental with many businesses, governments and other organizations.

Customers who rent from us for “leisure” purposes include individual travelers booking vacation travel rentals with us and people renting to meet other personal needs. Leisure rentals are generally longer in duration and generate more revenue per transaction than business rentals. Leisure rentals also include rentals by customers of U.S. and international tour operators, which are usually a part of tour packages that can include air travel and hotel accommodations.

Demand for airport rentals is generally correlated with airline travel patterns, and transaction volumes generally follow global airline passenger traffic ("enplanement") and Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") trends. Customers often make reservations for airport rentals when they book their flight plans, which make our relationships with travel agents, associations and other partners (e.g., airlines and hotels) a key competitive strategy in generating consistent and recurring revenue streams. As discussed above, individuals across the globe have increasingly gained access to COVID-19 vaccinations resulting in many government-imposed travel restrictions being lifted or eased, and travel, particularly domestic leisure travel, has experienced a strong rebound. However, there remains continued uncertainty about the duration of the negative impact from COVID-19 and its variants, including the length and scope of travel restrictions and business closures that may be imposed by governments of impacted countries or voluntarily undertaken by individuals and private businesses.

Off airport rentals include insurance replacements, and we have agreements with the referring insurers establishing the relevant rental terms, including the arrangements made for billing and payment. We have identified approximately 200 insurance companies, ranging from local or regional vehicle carriers to large, national companies, as our target insurance replacement market. As of December 31, 2021, we were a preferred or recognized supplier for 62% of these insurance companies and a co-primary for 19% of them.

Customer Service Offerings

At our major airport rental locations and certain smaller airport and off airport locations, customers participating in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program are able to rent vehicles in an expedited manner. Participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program often bypass the rental counter entirely and proceed directly to their vehicle upon arrival at our facility. Participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program are also eligible to earn Hertz Gold Plus Rewards points that may be redeemed for free rental days or converted to awards of other companies' loyalty programs. Hertz's Gold Plus Rewards program offers three elite membership tiers which provide more frequent renters the opportunity to earn additional reward points and vehicle upgrades. For the year ended December 31, 2021, rentals by Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members accounted for approximately 30% of our worldwide rental transactions. We believe the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program provides us with a significant competitive advantage, particularly among frequent travelers, and we have targeted such travelers for participation in the program. We offer electronic rental agreements and returns for our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty customers in the U.S. Simplifying the rental transaction saves customers time and provides greater convenience through access to digitally available rental contracts.

When Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members make a reservation for a midsize car or above, they have access to exclusive vehicles based on their membership tier via our Hertz Ultimate Choice program which allows customers to

choose their vehicle from a range of makes, models and colors available within the zone indicated on their reservation. Alternatively, they may upgrade at pick-up for a fee by choosing a vehicle from the Premium Upgrade zone. The Hertz Ultimate Choice program is offered at 62 U.S. and Canada airport locations as of December 31, 2021.

TNC Rentals

We have partnered with certain companies in the TNC market in North America to offer vehicle rentals to their drivers in select cities. Using vehicles for TNC rentals results in an increased supply of higher mileage, and thus more economical, used vehicles for our vehicle disposition programs discussed below. Drivers for our TNC Partners reserve vehicles online through TNC Partner websites and pick up vehicles from select locations. TNC drivers can extend the vehicle rental on a weekly basis. In October 2021, we announced an exclusive partnership with Uber to make Teslas available for their drivers to rent on the Uber network in the U.S. We believe that this arrangement will improve driver-level economics relative to internal combustion vehicles.

Hertz 24/7

We offer a car and van-sharing membership service, referred to as Hertz 24/7, which rents vehicles by the hour and/or by the day, at various locations internationally, primarily in Europe. Members reserve vehicles online, then receive the vehicles at convenient locations using keyless entry, without the need to visit a Hertz rental office. Members are charged an hourly or daily vehicle-rental fee which includes fuel, insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance and in-vehicle customer service. Hertz 24/7 specializes in Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C) services working with retail partners to provide vans at their locations and with corporations providing pool fleets for use by their employees.

Other Customer Service Offerings

We offer a Mobile Gold Alerts service, available to participating Hertz Gold Plus Rewards customers, through which a text message and/or email with the vehicle information and location is sent approximately 30 minutes prior to arrival, providing the option to choose another vehicle. We offer Hertz e-Return, which allows customers to drop off their vehicle and go without the need to visit the rental counter. Customers can also use cashless toll lanes with our PlatePass offering where the license plate acts as a transponder. We also offer a vehicle-subscription service on a monthly or weekend basis in select locations that provides a flexible, cost-effective alternative to vehicle ownership, with no long-term commitment required, referred to as Hertz My Car and My Hertz Weekend. As a result of COVID-19, we implemented enhanced safety measures to provide customers confidence while renting our vehicles. The Hertz Gold Standard Clean seal ensures that each vehicle is sealed prior to rental following a rigorous 15-point cleaning and sanitization process that follows U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

Rates

We rent a wide variety of makes and models of vehicles. We rent vehicles on an hourly (in select international markets), daily, weekend, weekly, monthly or multi-month basis, with rental charges computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. Our rates vary by brand and at different locations depending on local market conditions and other competitive and cost factors. While vehicles are usually returned to the locations from which they are rented, we also allow one-way rentals from and to certain locations. We also generate revenues from reimbursements by customers of airport concession fees, unless the law limits or forbids us from doing so, and vehicle licensing costs, fueling charges, and charges for value-added services such as supplemental equipment (e.g., child seats and ski racks), loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and satellite radio.

Reservations

We price and accept reservations for our vehicles through each of our brands. Reservations are generally for a class of vehicles, such as compact, midsize or sport utility vehicle.

Table of Contents
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
We distribute pricing and content and accept reservations through multiple channels. Direct reservations are accepted at Hertz.com, Dollar.com and Thrifty.com, which have global and local versions in multiple languages. Hertz.com offers a range of products, prices and additional services as well as Hertz Gold Plus Rewards benefits, serving both company-operated and franchise locations. In addition to our websites, direct reservations are enabled via our Hertz and Dollar smartphone apps, which include additional connected products and services.

Customers may also seek reservations via travel agents or third-party travel websites. In many of those cases, the travel agent or website utilizes an Application Programming Interface connection to Hertz or a third-party operated computerized reservation system, also known as a Global Distribution System, to contact us and make the reservation.

In our major markets, including the U.S. and all other countries with company-operated locations, customers may also reserve vehicles for rental from us and our franchisees worldwide through local, national or toll-free telephone calls to our reservations center, directly through our rental locations or, in the case of insurance replacement rentals, through proprietary automated systems serving the insurance industry.

Franchisees

In certain U.S. and international markets, we have found it efficient to issue licenses under franchise arrangements to independent franchisees who are engaged in the vehicle rental business. Franchisees rent vehicles that they own or lease to customers, primarily under our Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty brand. In certain markets and under certain circumstances, franchisees may acquire franchises for multiple brands.

Franchisees generally pay an initial license fee, royalties based on a percentage of their revenues as well as other fees, and in return are provided the use of the applicable brand name, certain operational support and training, reservations through our reservation channels, and other services. Additionally, franchisees may utilize our vehicles to support one-way business intra country. Franchisee arrangements enable us to offer expanded national and international service and a broader one-way rental program. In addition to vehicle rental, certain international franchisees engage in vehicle leasing, and the rental of chauffeur-driven vehicles, camper vans and motorcycles.

The transfer of a franchisee license is limited without our consent and such licenses are generally terminable by us only for cause or after a fixed term. Many of these agreements also include a company right of first refusal should a franchisee receive a bona fide offer to sell the license. Franchisees in the U.S. typically may terminate on prior notice, generally 180 days. In Europe and certain other international jurisdictions, franchisees typically do not have early termination rights. We continue to issue new licenses and, from time to time, re-acquire franchised businesses or sell corporate locations to franchisees.

Franchise operations, including fleet acquisition, are generally financed independently by the franchisees and we do not have an investment interest in the franchisees. Fees from franchisees, including initial franchise fees, generally support the cost of our brand awareness programs, reservations system, sales and marketing efforts and certain other services and are approximately 2% of our worldwide vehicle rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Seasonality

Our vehicle rental operations are historically a seasonal business, excluding the year ended December 31, 2020 which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer months ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we typically increase our available fleet and staff, which is comprised of a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers, during the second and third quarters of the year. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related

expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

The following chart sets forth this seasonal nature of our vehicle rental operations, as well as the impact of COVID-19, primarily in 2020, by presenting the proportionate contribution of each quarter to full year revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Fleet

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we operated a peak rental fleet in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments of approximately 389,300 vehicles and 78,400 vehicles, respectively. Purchases of vehicles are financed by active and ongoing global borrowing programs and through cash from operations. The vehicles purchased are either program vehicles or non-program vehicles. We periodically review the efficiencies of an optimal mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet and adjust the ratio of program and non-program vehicles as needed based on contract negotiations, vehicle economics and availability. During the year ended December 31, 2021, our approximate average holding period for a rental vehicle was 25 months in our Americas RAC segment and 20 months in our International RAC segment which are longer than historical holding periods as a result of supply chain constraints due to the Chip Shortage.

In October 2021, we announced our plan to significantly expand our EV rental fleet in North America, as discussed below in Corporate Responsibility—Fuel Efficient Fleet.

* Vehicle manufacturers Daimler AG (Mercedes Benz and Smart), Renault, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Volvo and Rover Group together comprise another 12% of the International RAC fleet and are included as "Other" in the overall and International RAC charts above.

We maintain vehicle maintenance centers which provide maintenance for our fleet, many of which include sophisticated vehicle diagnostic and repair equipment, and are accepted by automobile manufacturers, as eligible, to perform warranty work. Collision damage and major repairs are generally performed by independent contractors.

Repurchase Programs

Program vehicles are purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs with vehicle manufacturers wherein the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Repurchase prices under repurchase programs are based on the original cost less a set daily depreciation amount. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under the programs and allow us to reduce the variability of depreciation expense for each vehicle, however, typically the acquisition cost is higher. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on market demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average

holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles. During 2021, the number of program vehicles in our fleet decreased primarily due to the impact from the Chip Shortage on new vehicle production.

Program vehicles as a percentage of all vehicles purchased within our Americas RAC and International RAC segments during the last three fiscal years were as follows:

Hertz Car Sales, Rent2Buy and Other Vehicle Disposition Channels

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the vehicles sold in our U.S. and international vehicle rental operations that were not repurchased by manufacturers were sold through auction and dealer direct wholesale channels and retail channels.

In October 2021, we announced a nationwide agreement with Carvana with respect to our vehicle disposition process. With demand for used vehicles at an all-time high, we recognized the opportunity to streamline our vehicle disposition cycle, while at the same time filling a need in the used car market. The Carvana arrangement allows us to digitize and modernize our retail sales process while providing Carvana with a greater supply of used vehicles. This is intended to reduce our reliance on wholesale channels and allows us to renew our vehicle supply more rapidly, thereby strengthening our business.

Our retail sales channel, Hertz Car Sales, consists of a network of company-operated vehicle sales locations throughout the U.S. dedicated to the sale of vehicles from our rental fleet. Vehicles disposed of through our retail outlets provide for ancillary vehicle sales revenue, such as warranty, financing and title fees.

We also offer Rent2Buy in 26 states in the U.S., an innovative program in which customers are able to rent a vehicle from our rental fleet and if the customer purchases the vehicle, the customer is credited with a portion of their rental charges. The purchase transaction is completed through the internet and by mail in those states where permitted.

Markets and Competition

Competition among vehicle rental industry participants is intense and is primarily based on vehicle availability and quality, price, service, reliability, rental locations, product innovation and competition from online travel agents and vehicle rental brokers. We believe that the strength of the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands, our extensive worldwide ownership of vehicle rental operations and our commitment to innovation, including our EV initiatives, provide us with a strong competitive advantage. Our principal vehicle rental industry competitors are Avis Budget Group, Inc.,

which currently operates the Avis, Budget, ZipCar and Payless brands, and Enterprise Holdings, which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands. There are also local and regional vehicle rental companies, transportation network companies which provide ride-hailing services that have some overlap in customer use cases, largely with respect to short length trips in urban areas, and peer-to-peer car sharing marketplaces.

U.S.

The U.S. represents approximately $28 billion in estimated annual industry revenues for 2021. The average number of vehicles in the U.S. vehicle rental industry in 2021 was about 2 million vehicles. U.S. industry Revenue Per Unit Per Month in 2021 was approximately $1,320.

Europe

Europe represents approximately $11 billion in estimated annual industry revenues for 2021. Europe has generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel because the European off airport vehicle rental market has been significantly more developed than it is in the U.S. Within Europe, the largest markets in which we do business are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Throughout Europe, we do business through company-operated rental locations and through our partners or franchisees.

Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific represents approximately $14 billion in estimated annual industry revenues for 2021. Within this region, the largest markets in which we do business are Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. In each of these markets we do business through company-operated rental locations and through our partners or franchisees.

Middle East and Africa

The Middle East and Africa represent approximately $3 billion in estimated annual industry revenues for 2021. Within these regions, the largest markets in which we do business are Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. In each of these markets we do business through our franchisees.

Latin America

Latin America represents approximately $3 billion in estimated annual industry revenues for 2021. Within Latin America, the largest markets in which we do business are Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Panama. In each of these markets our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands are present through our partners or franchisees.

EMPLOYEES AND HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

As of December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 23,000 persons, consisting of approximately 17,000 persons in the U.S. and approximately 6,000 persons internationally, a decrease internationally of 14% from December 31, 2020 due primarily to a restructuring program affecting approximately 900 employees in our international operations, specifically in Europe.

Certain employees outside the U.S. are covered by a wide variety of union contracts and governmental regulations affecting, among other things, compensation, job retention rights and pensions. Labor contracts covering the terms of employment of approximately 27% of our workforce in the U.S. (including those in the U.S. territories) are presently in effect with local unions, affiliated primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. Labor contracts covering approximately 11% of these employees will expire during 2022. We have had no material work stoppage as a result of labor problems during the last ten years, and we believe our labor relations to be good. Nevertheless, we may be unable to negotiate new labor contracts on terms advantageous to us, or without labor interruption.

In addition to the employees referred to above, we engage outside services, as is customary in the industry, principally for the non-revenue movement of rental vehicles between rental locations.

Human Capital Management

We continue to evolve for our customers, employees, partners, franchisees and communities. With respect to our employees, our Board and Board committees periodically review of our employee programs and initiatives, providing oversight to how we should attract, retain and develop a workforce that aligns with our values and strategies, including through competitive compensation and benefits, learning and development opportunities and cultivating an engaged and inclusive culture. In addition, we conduct anonymous surveys, seeking feedback from our broad employee base on topics including, but not limited to, effectiveness of company communication, confidence in leadership, competitiveness of our compensation and total rewards packages and career growth and development opportunities. Survey results are reviewed by our senior management and shared with employees, along with action plans, for leveraging employee insights to drive meaningful improvements in our employees' experiences.

Our people are our greatest asset and we strive to have a constant focus and attention on matters concerning our employees including retention and professional development as well as employees’ physical, emotional and financial well-being. We are committed to an inclusive workplace around the globe that champions equality, values different backgrounds and celebrates individuality. We regularly assess our benefits and program offerings to provide a compelling and comprehensive portfolio, which currently includes:
Competitive salaries and wages;
Retirement savings with a 401(k) Plan and an employer match, up to a certain percentage;
Comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental and vision plans for employees and their dependents;
Employer provided life insurance with no cost to employees;
No-cost employee assistance program, providing confidential counseling to help employees and their families dealing with hardships;
Paid parental leave;
Free health screenings and programs for tobacco cessation, weight management and wellness coaching;

Employee and family rental car and car sales discounts;
Employee tuition reimbursement program;
Employee relief fund that provides immediate, short-term financial assistance to North America employees through employee contributions and company match to assist employees dealing with natural disasters;
Training and development opportunities; and
Employee resource groups.

We are committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, customers and partners. Beginning in 2020, COVID-19 caused an unprecedented crisis for the travel and tourism industry, disrupting work practices, consumer behavior and long-term strategic plans. Despite these challenges, we have maintained our priority of supporting our people and our communities. We implemented heightened safety measures for employees and customers and introduced the Hertz Gold Standard Clean process, an enhanced 15-point cleaning process. We deployed protocols, signage and employee training to ensure compliance with COVID-19 Centers for Disease Control guidelines and local regulations. We equipped our employees with personal protective equipment as well as plexiglass guards, implemented enhanced facility and vehicle cleaning practices, mandated face-coverings and established processes for assessing possible COVID-19 exposures and responding to known or suspected COVID-19 cases. In addition, we partnered with LabCorp Employer Services to provide at-home COVID-19 test kits at no charge to employees. We are committed to seeking ways to best support our employees and customers and adapting our processes in response to changing guidelines as we continue to navigate through the COVID-19

pandemic. We also partnered with Rite Aid to provide educational and interactive COVID-19 vaccine webinars. In addition, we hosted multiple onsite COVID-19 vaccination clinics.

Outside of the U.S., we are committed to offering similar comprehensive programs that leverage the best of global benefits but also tailored by country to reflect local practices and culture. We evaluate our total benefits and programs annually and use feedback from employees to make thoughtful changes to ensure our programs continue to meet the needs of employees.

At the heart of Hertz Global is our people. Our employees help drive our progress, innovation and success. We strive to empower our employees so they can build trust with our customers and the communities we serve around the world. As discussed above in Human Capital Management, attracting and retaining top talent is more than a measure of our business success; it is a measure of who we are and what we value. In addition, we engage with our communities, and, through our global charitable giving and volunteer program, we are committed to making a positive difference in the areas where we work, live and serve.

Diversity

We are committed to championing and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. We believe the varied perspectives, experiences, skills and talents of our employees represent a significant part of our culture – as well as our success and reputation as a company.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
The Environment

We are committed to reducing the impact our operations have on the environment and the communities we operate in through sustainable business practices, strategic decision-making, community partnerships and smart investments in future technologies, and in 2021, announced our plans to position us to be a leader in the future mobility ecosystem.

Climate Performance

We recognize the importance of reducing our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions as both a climate and business imperative. We recently committed to setting GHG emissions reduction goals through the Science Based Target initiative (“SBTi”). We are committed to being at the center of the modern mobility ecosystem and believe our planned investments in EVs and charging infrastructure will enhance the sustainability of our operations.

Fuel Efficient Fleet

In 2021, we made a commitment to position ourselves at the center of modern mobility and entered into new and expanded relationships around EV and technology. We are also investing in new EV infrastructure across our global operations by installing a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 DC fast chargers throughout our network. As discussed in TNC Rentals above, we also entered into a partnership with Uber to provide EVs to drivers using the Uber network that can further accelerate the adoption of EVs.

We also partner with our corporate customers to create personalized travel programs aimed at reducing carbon emissions and fuel costs associated with their vehicle rentals, including access to a program through a leading third-party administrator for purchase of related carbon offsets. Additionally, we offer customization to help our corporate customers reduce fuel costs and expand their employees’ use of low- and zero-emission vehicles.

We also are the exclusive rental car member of the Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance, a consortium of companies focused on accelerating the transition to EVs.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

We work to integrate environmental sustainability across our operations, from our car washes to the way we build our rental locations. Resource conservation and waste reduction is at the forefront of that integration. We are committed to waste reduction across our global footprint. Recycling efforts include, but are not limited to, recycling used oils and solvents, tires, batteries, information technology equipment and general mixed materials.

Facilities and Construction

We seek to maximize energy and water efficiency at our facilities and rely on renewable energy at an increasing number of locations. We incorporate sustainable design and construction practices based on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") standards. LEED is administered by the U.S. Green Building Council and is the most widely used and respected green building rating system. Our world headquarters in Estero, Florida is LEED Gold® certified, and we have six additional rental locations in Estero, St. Louis, Charlotte, Denver, Dulles and Newark airports that are LEED certified. In addition to LEED, ISO 14001 sets environmental management standards and certifies facilities to those standards. Our Hertz European Service Center ("HESC") in Dublin, Ireland and our Heathrow International Airport location have achieved and maintain ISO 14001 certifications. HESC also holds and maintains ISO 45001 certification demonstrating the facility meets criteria to improve employee safety and reduce workplace risks. Both LEED and ISO standards enhance the health and comfort of building occupants, improve overall building performance and deliver cost savings.

In addition to incorporating leading standards into our buildings, we also strive to include on-site renewables consisting of solar photovoltaic systems at seven locations, which decreases our carbon footprint while lowering utility costs.

Our Business

Governance

We are committed to ensuring appropriate oversight and accountability of Corporate Responsibility. Our Corporate Responsibility Executive Steering Council (the "Council") is responsible for establishing environmental, social and governance ("ESG") key performance indicators and their integration into our business which is expected to commence in 2022. The Council reports to the Board's Governance Committee and its subcommittees and working groups set and implement policies and projects that move the needle on company-wide ESG goals.

Ethics

We are committed to operating in compliance with all applicable laws and maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct. Our expectations may be high, but they are clear. Integrity is essential to every aspect of our business, both in policy and practice. Our Standards of Business Conduct informs when we should ask for further direction to support a policy or procedure and provides information, guidance and references covering a range of topics.

Supplier Diversity

We recognize that supporting diversity goes beyond our internal policies and practices, and we seek to build sustainable relationships with suppliers who integrate diversity into their own hiring processes and supply chain. Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we are committed to the equal and fair treatment of all suppliers. We aim to provide minority-owned, woman-owned and other socially or economically disadvantaged small businesses who perform at high levels the opportunity to compete to deliver products and services that support our brands.

As a long-standing member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council and the Airport Minority Advisory Council, we actively seek to do business with suppliers who are certified by such councils that recognize women and minorities.

Through these efforts, we seek to emphasize and ensure a supplier representation that fully reflects the customers and communities we serve. We believe that leveraging the global diversity of our workforce and supplier relations will enable us to address the local needs of the communities in which we live and work around the world

Data Protection

Hertz is committed to operating in compliance with all applicable privacy and data security laws. We have standards and policies in place to ensure the proper handling, use and storage of customer and employee information, including privacy protection, maintenance of data integrity and security. In addition, our employees participate in mandatory training and ongoing engagement that ensures our entire team is on the same page regarding compliance with our policies and practices.

INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

There are three types of generally insurable risks that arise in our operations:
legal liability arising from the operation of our vehicles (i.e., vehicle liability);
legal liability to members of the public and employees from other causes (i.e., general liability/workers' compensation); and
17

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
risk of property damage and/or business interruption and/or increased cost of operating as a consequence of property damage.

In addition, we offer optional liability insurance and other products providing insurance coverage, which create additional risk exposures for us. Our risk of property damage is also increased when we waive the provisions in our rental contracts that hold a renter responsible for damage or loss under an optional loss or damage waiver that we offer. We bear these and other risks, except to the extent the risks are transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.

In many cases we self-insure our risks or insure risks through wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. We mitigate our exposure to large liability losses by maintaining excess insurance coverage, subject to deductibles and caps, through unaffiliated carriers. For our international operations outside of Europe and for our long-term vehicle leasing operations, we maintain some liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers.

Third-Party Liability

In our U.S. operations, we are required by applicable financial responsibility laws to maintain insurance against legal liability for bodily injury, death or property damage to third parties arising from the operation of our vehicles, sometimes called “vehicle liability,” in stipulated amounts. In most jurisdictions, we satisfy those requirements by qualifying as a self-insurer, a process that typically involves governmental filings and demonstration of financial responsibility, which sometimes requires the posting of a bond or other security. In the remaining jurisdictions, we obtain an insurance policy from an unaffiliated insurance carrier and indemnify the carrier for any amounts paid under the policy. The regulatory method for protecting against such vehicle liability should be considered in the context of the Graves Amendment, as we generally bear limited economic responsibility for U.S. vehicle liability attributable to the negligence of our drivers, except to the extent that we successfully transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

For our vehicle rental operations in Europe, we have established a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Probus Insurance Company Europe DAC (“Probus”), a direct writer of insurance domiciled in Ireland. In certain European countries with company-operated locations, we have purchased from Probus the vehicle liability insurance required by law. In other European countries, this coverage is purchased from unaffiliated carriers. Accordingly, as with our U.S. operations, we bear economic responsibility for vehicle liability in our European vehicle rental operations, except to the extent that we transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. For our international operations outside of Europe, we maintain some form of vehicle liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers. The nature of such coverage and our economic responsibility for covered losses varies considerably. Nonetheless, we believe the amounts and nature of the coverage we obtain is adequate in light of the respective potential hazards.

In our U.S. and international operations, from time to time in the course of our business, we become legally responsible to members of the public for bodily injury, death or property damage arising from causes other than the operation of our vehicles, sometimes known as “general liability.” As with vehicle liability, we bear economic responsibility for general liability losses, except to the extent we transfer such losses to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. In addition, to mitigate these exposures, we maintain excess liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated insurance carriers.

In our U.S. vehicle rental operations, we offer an optional liability insurance product, Liability Insurance Supplement (“LIS”), that provides vehicle liability insurance coverage substantially higher than state minimum levels to the renter and other authorized operators of a rented vehicle. LIS coverage is primarily provided under excess liability insurance policies issued by an unaffiliated insurance carrier, the risks under which are reinsured with a wholly-owned subsidiary, HIRE Bermuda Limited.

In our U.S. vehicle rental operations and our company-operated international vehicle rental operations in many countries, we offer optional products providing Personal Accident Insurance / Personal Effects Coverage (“PAI/PEC”) and Emergency Sickness Protection ("ESP") insurance coverage to the renter and the renter's immediate

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
family members traveling with the renter for accidental death or accidental medical expenses arising during the rental period or for damage or loss of their property during the rental period. PAI/PEC and ESP coverages are provided under insurance policies issued by unaffiliated carriers or, in Europe, by Probus.

Our offering of LIS, PAI/PEC and ESP coverage in our U.S. vehicle rental operations is conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance producers.

Provisions on our books for self-insured public liability and property damage vehicle liability losses are made by charges to expense based upon evaluations of estimated ultimate liabilities on reported and unreported claims.

Damage to Our Property

We bear the risk of damage to our property, unless such risk is transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.

To mitigate our risk of large, single-site property damage losses globally, we maintain property insurance with unaffiliated insurance carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms.

Our rental contracts typically provide that the renter is responsible for damage to or loss (including loss through theft) of rented vehicles. We generally offer an optional rental product, known in various countries as “loss damage waiver,” “collision damage waiver” or “theft protection,” under which we waive or limit our right to make a claim for such damage or loss.

Collision damage costs and the costs of stolen or unaccounted-for vehicles, along with other damage to our property, are charged to expense as incurred, net of reimbursements.

Other Risks

To manage other risks associated with our businesses, or to comply with applicable law, we purchase other types of insurance carried by business organizations, such as worker's compensation and employer's liability, commercial crime and fidelity, performance bonds, directors' and officers' liability insurance, terrorism insurance and cyber security insurance from unaffiliated insurance companies in amounts deemed by us to be adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such coverage is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

We are subject to numerous types of governmental controls, including those relating to prices and advertising, privacy and data protection, currency controls, labor matters, credit and charge card operations, insurance, environmental protection, used vehicle sales and licensing.

Dealings with Renters

In the U.S., vehicle rental transactions are generally subject to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs leases of tangible personal property. Vehicle rental is also specifically regulated in more than half of the states of the U.S. and many other international jurisdictions. The subjects of these regulations include the methods by which we advertise, the methods used to quote and charge prices, the consequences of failing to honor reservations, the terms on which we deal with vehicle loss or damage (including the protections we provide to renters purchasing loss or damage waivers) and the terms and method of sale of the optional insurance coverage that we offer. Some states (including California, Nevada and New York) regulate the price at which we may sell loss or damage waivers, and many state insurance regulators have authority over the prices and terms of the optional insurance coverage we offer. See “Insurance and Risk Management—Damage to Our Property” above for further discussion regarding the loss or damage waivers and optional insurance coverages that we offer renters. In addition, various consumer protection laws and regulations may generally apply to our business operations.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Internationally, regulatory regimes vary greatly by jurisdiction and include increasing scrutiny from consumer law regulators in Europe and a stronger focus on corporate compliance, but the regimes do not generally prevent us from dealing with customers in a manner similar to that employed in the U.S.

Both in the U.S. and internationally, we are subject to increasing regulation relating to customer privacy and data protection. In general, we are required to disclose our data collection and processing practices as well as our use and sharing of data that we collect from or about renters. In doing so, we are obligated to take reasonable steps to protect customer data while it is in our possession and comply with individual privacy right requests. Our failure to do so could subject us to substantial legal liability, require us to bear significant remediation costs or seriously damage our reputation.

Changes in Regulation

Changes in government regulation of our businesses have the potential to materially alter our business practices or our profitability. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws, regulations and treaties by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Those changes may have prospective and/or retroactive effect, particularly when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have a more significant effect on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances. Several U.S. states historically required “bundled pricing” by rental vehicle companies but those same states subsequently enacted statutory exceptions to allow for the separate pass-through of certain fees (e.g., airport concession fees, customer facility charges and vehicle licensing fees) with proper disclosure. In addition, the Canadian Competition Bureau has interpreted Canadian consumer law to prohibit “drip pricing” such that base rate advertising is not allowed and the first price that consumers view on the websites of rental vehicle companies must reflect the bundled price for the proposed rental. Recent or potential changes in law or regulation that affect us relate to insurance intermediaries, customer privacy, like-kind exchange programs, data security and rate regulation and our retail vehicle sales operations.

In addition, our operations, as well as those of our competitors, could also be affected by any limitation in the fuel supply or by any imposition of mandatory allocation or rationing regulations. We are not aware of any current proposal to impose such a regime in the U.S. or internationally. Such a regime could, however, be quickly imposed if there was a serious disruption in supply for any reason, including an act of war, terrorist incident or other problem affecting petroleum supply, refining, distribution or pricing.

Environmental

We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign environmental and safety laws, regulations, directives, rules and ordinances concerning, among other things, the operation and maintenance of vehicles; the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel and oil; and the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of waste materials, including oil, vehicle wash sludge and waste water.

When applicable, we estimate and accrue for certain environmental costs, such as to study potential environmental conditions at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities and for costs to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. However, it is difficult to predict with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remedial actions and thus future costs associated with such matters may exceed the amount of the estimated accrued amount.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties, and should be carefully considered along with all of the information in this 2021 Annual Report. These risks and uncertainties, however, are not the only risks and uncertainties that we encounter in our operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment in Hertz Global's common stock or The Hertz Corporation's debt securities. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and uncertainties. Any of the following risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow and may make an investment in our securities speculative or risky.

We believe that the following information identifies the material risks and uncertainties affecting Hertz Global and Hertz; however, the following risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us and it is possible that other risks and uncertainties might significantly affect us.

RISKS RELATED TO COVID-19

The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak have been and continue to be disruptive to our vehicle rental business and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, a significant impact around the world, prompting governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures in response. Such measures have included restrictions on travel and business operations, temporary closures of businesses, and quarantine and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic has at times significantly curtailed global economic activity and caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by many countries in response have adversely affected and could in the future materially adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Historically, we have generated a majority of our rental revenues from airport locations, which makes our rental car business sensitive to decreases in air travel. Due to travel restrictions and stay at home orders during the course of pandemic, our revenues and profitability were significantly impacted when we experienced a high level of rental cancellations and a significant decline in forward bookings due to the decreased customer demand at our airport locations. Although we believe that renting a vehicle continues to be a safe transport alternative, and we have implemented certain procedures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, we cannot predict when or if customer demand will fully return to pre-COVID-19 levels. Additionally, we have, and could continue to, experience disruptions in the supply of vehicles from vehicle manufacturers, whether due to outbreaks of COVID-19 at their manufacturing facilities, measures they take in response to COVID-19, the Chip Shortage, or otherwise.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our operational and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on many factors outside of our control, including the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants, the development, availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines and treatments, the imposition of protective public safety measures, changes in travel preferences and demand for both business and leisure travel, the length of time it takes for rental pricing and volume and normal economic conditions to return; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and discretionary spending for travel. Additional future impacts may include, but are not limited to, material adverse effects on vehicle rental demand, the supply chain and availability of vehicles, our ability to execute our strategic initiatives, and our profitability and cost structure.

In periods that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, results of operations and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Part I, Item 1A of this 2021 Annual Report.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

The continued uncertainty about the duration of the negative impact from COVID-19 in our industry may disrupt our employee retention and talent management strategies and affect our business operations.

We develop and maintain a talent management strategy that defines current and future talent requirements (e.g., experience, skills, location requirements, timing, etc.) based on our strategic direction, coordinated recruiting and development plans across businesses and regions and considers employee mobility, centers of excellence and shared service concepts to optimize resource plans and leverage labor arbitrage.

COVID-19 has created uncertainty with respect to the return to the workforce which has continued beyond 2021 and affects our employee retention and talent management strategies. We may find it difficult to hire and retain a sufficient number of employees with the necessary skills to meet demand. We cannot predict with certainty how the post-COVID return to workforce measures or general labor shortages will affect our employee retention and talent management strategies. The consequences that may result from continued disruptions or a failure of our employee retention and talent management strategies can include inadequate staffing levels, inability to support our business plan, lack of key talent, declining product quality and competitive differentiation, eroding employee morale and productivity, an increase in costs or an inability to meet/maintain internal control, regulatory or other compliance-related requirements.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

The continuing Chip Shortage has, and may continue to, cause delays in new vehicle acquisitions, which can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Increased demand for semiconductor microchips ("Chips") in 2020, due in part to COVID-19 and an increased use of electronic equipment that use these Chips, resulted in a severe shortage of Chips in 2021. These same Chips and microprocessors are used in a variety of automobile parts, including in the control of engines and transmissions. As a result, various automotive manufacturers have been forced to delay or stall new vehicle production, which has caused delays in us receiving new vehicles. If efforts to address the shortage of Chips by the industry and government entities are unsuccessful, there may be further delays in new vehicle production. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase a sufficient number of new vehicles at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient supply of new vehicles, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms during the acquisition of vehicles and are unable to recover the increased costs, then our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. If we are unable to purchase new vehicles at competitive prices, increased maintenance costs in relation to our existing fleet may put further pressure on our results of operations and financial condition.

The ability to attract and retain key personnel is critical to the success of our business.

The success of our business depends on the efforts and abilities of our senior management and other key personnel. If we do not succeed in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, particularly at the management level, our ability to execute our business plan may be adversely affected, which could harm our operating results or financial condition. Competition for qualified employees is intense. Additionally, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel could be adversely affected by our having filed for bankruptcy, notwithstanding our emergence from Chapter 11. Although we actively conduct talent reviews and succession planning to be prepared, if executives, managers or other key personnel resign, retire or are terminated, or their service is otherwise interrupted, we may not be able to replace them in a timely manner and we could experience significant declines in productivity.

Our vehicle rental business is particularly sensitive to reductions in the levels of business and leisure travel, and reductions in travel could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

The vehicle rental industry is particularly affected by reductions in business and leisure travel, especially with respect to levels of airline passenger traffic. Reductions in levels of air travel, whether caused by general economic conditions, airfare increases or other events, such as work stoppages, military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

disasters, epidemic diseases, or the response of governments to any of these events, could have a material adverse effect on demand for vehicle rentals. In particular, we derive a substantial proportion of our revenues from key leisure destinations, including Florida, California, Texas, Hawaii and New York in the U.S. and Europe internationally, and the level of travel to these destinations is dependent upon the ability and willingness of consumers to travel on vacation and the effect of economic cycles on consumers’ discretionary travel, including shortages of fuel and increases or volatility in fuel costs. In 2020 as a result of COVID-19, business and leisure travel were adversely affected and our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows were materially adversely affected. Leisure travel substantially recovered beginning late in the first quarter of 2021, but business travel remains depressed compared to pre-pandemic levels. It is possible that the increased use of conferencing and collaboration technology, as well as any permanent shift towards remote work and essential-only travel, could result in a prolonged decrease in demand for business-related travel, which could materially and adversely affect demand for our rental vehicles for business travel over the long-term.

We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.

We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the vehicle rental market and that technology has enabled cost-conscious customers, including business travelers, to compare rates available from rental companies more easily. If we try to increase our pricing, our competitors, some of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to, among other things, attempt to gain a competitive advantage, capture market share or compensate for declines in rental activity. Additionally, pricing in the vehicle rental industry is impacted by the supply of vehicles available for rent. Any significant fluctuations in the supply of rental vehicles available in the market due to unexpected changes in demand, or actions taken by our competitors, could negatively affect our pricing, operating plans or results of operations if we are unable to adjust the size of our rental fleet in response to fluctuations in supply and demand. We also compete with non-traditional companies for vehicle rental market share, including auto manufacturers, ride-hailing and car sharing companies and other competitors in the mobility industry. To the extent we do not react appropriately to our competition or optimize our revenue and pricing strategies, we may experience sub-optimal pricing, sub-optimal asset utilization, poor customer satisfaction, lost revenue and other unfavorable consequences which may materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Our business is highly seasonal and any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during our peak periods could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

The second and third quarters of the year have historically been the strongest quarters for our vehicle rental business due to increased levels of leisure travel. We seek to manage seasonal increases in demand by increasing our available fleet and staff during peak periods, although we may not always be successful in doing so. Any circumstance, occurrence or situation that disrupts rental activity during our peak periods, or our inability to effectively meet heightened demand in those periods, could have a significant and disproportionate impact on our revenue and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

If we are unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the number, location and mix of vehicles used in our rental operations accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.

Vehicle costs typically represent our largest expense and vehicle purchases are typically made weeks or months in advance of the expected use of the vehicle. Accordingly, our business is dependent upon the ability of our management to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and consumer preferences with respect to the mix of vehicles used in our rental operations and the location of those vehicles. If we are unable to purchase a sufficient number of vehicles, or the right types of vehicles, to meet consumer demand, we may lose revenue or market share to our competitors. If we purchase too many vehicles, our Vehicle Utilization could be adversely affected and we may not be able to dispose of excess vehicles in a timely and cost-effective manner. For example, in early 2020 and due to COVID-19, we experienced significant excess in our vehicle supply due to reduced demand which adversely affected our Vehicle Utilization. Our failure to utilize a flexible and systematic process for fleet management that
24

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

accurately estimates future levels of rental activity and determines the appropriate mix of vehicles used in our rental operations may result in obsolescence and excessive aging of fleet, the inability to sell fleet at adequate prices, sub-optimal fleet utilization, increased fleet costs, lower customer satisfaction, sub-optimal fleet sizing, lost or missing fleet assets, reduced margins and cash flows and other unfavorable consequences which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We are implementing a strategy which increases our reliance on EVs, which may not be as successful as we anticipate.

In October 2021, we announced new initiatives as part of a plan to significantly expand our EV rental fleet in North America. There are a number of risks associated with expanding our EV fleet, including but not limited to the inability to secure vehicle supply within the time frame we, and our customers, expect; a potential lack of adequate infrastructure to support EVs; negative publicity or negative customer reaction to any delays in EV vehicle supply or lack of infrastructure; potentially high costs associated with maintaining or repairing EVs and related infrastructure; increased risks related to the data connectivity and the technology upon which these initiatives will rely, such as unauthorized access to modify or use such technology; possible competition from other vehicle rental providers that may also implement similar strategies; and the possibility that our strategic initiatives are not as well-received by our consumer base as anticipated.

Moreover, our recently announced investment in Tesla EVs exposes us to a number of risks related to the potential concentration of such vehicles in our fleet, including the risk that demand for Tesla vehicles by our customers may be lower than we anticipate, the inability to obtain an adequate level of supply of Tesla vehicles and any needed replacement parts for Tesla EVs due to malfunction, product recalls or use over time, and risks related to the battery cells on which Tesla EVs depend, including the safety of such products and their need to maintain and significantly grow access to battery cells. Additionally, in October 2021, we announced an exclusive partnership with Uber to make Teslas available for their drivers to rent on the Uber network in the U.S. The success of this initiative will be dependent on the factors described above.

In addition, the success of our initiatives depends, in part, on the economics ultimately associated with EVs, including depreciation and residual values and the cost of financing, which will impact the attractiveness of our EVs to our customers. These economics are evolving due to the developing nature of the EV market and outcomes associated with such economics that are currently unknown could materially impact the success of these initiatives. If we do not adequately address potential risks such as these, our future revenue potential may be impacted and our ability to pursue our strategic initiatives and attain profitability could be compromised.

We may fail to adequately respond to changes in technology, customer demands and market competition.

Our industry has recently been characterized by rapid changes in technology innovation and deployment to address evolving customer demands, improve operational efficiency and disrupt competitive dynamics. Examples include addressing increasing expectations of personalized, efficient and mobile-first experiences across services; optimizing maintenance costs, improving vehicle utilization and maximizing the costs of asset ownership; and enabling traditional and non-traditional competitors to introduce new transportation offerings, consumption models and vehicle platforms, including electric and autonomous vehicles and other potentially disruptive technologies. Our ability to continually improve our technology platforms, processes and products in this environment is essential to maintain a competitive position in customer satisfaction, market share and other areas. Due to natural complexity in technology innovation, potentially high costs of certain initiatives, hiring and retention challenges and impacts from our financial restructuring, we may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced product offerings. These challenges related to emerging technology may result in loss of competitive differentiation, margin erosion, departure of key partners, declining market share, inability to achieve growth targets, inefficient or outdated service delivery platforms, loss of key customers and brand erosion, declining employee morale, inability to attract or retain key talent and other unfavorable consequences which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

The mix of program and non-program vehicles in our fleet, as well as declining values of our non-program vehicles, can subject us to an increased residual value risk, which could increase our costs and materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Manufacturers agree to repurchase program vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during a specified time period. Using program vehicles in our fleet can often alleviate our residual value risk because of the terms of our agreements with the vehicle manufacturer for repurchases and guaranteed depreciation on those vehicles. Additionally, program vehicles provide flexibility because we may be able to sell certain program vehicles shortly after having acquired them at a higher value than what we could for a similar non-program vehicle at that time, which is useful in managing our peak demand for vehicles. These benefits diminish when there are fewer program vehicles in our fleet.

We sell our non-program vehicles through various sales channels in the used vehicle market, including auctions, dealer direct sales, retail lots through our car sales program. In October 2021, we announced a nationwide agreement with Carvana to offer online sales of non-program vehicles to digitize and modernize our retail sales process and reduce our reliance on wholesale disposition channels. Additionally, as a result of the factors that can affect the market for used vehicles described below, our agreement with Carvana may not produce the anticipated benefits of providing stable or desirable vehicle prices in the future compared to the wholesale disposition channels.

For non-program vehicles, there is an increased risk that the net amount realized upon the disposition of the vehicle will be less than its estimated residual value at such time. The residual values of non-program vehicles are affected by the market for used vehicles, and although the demand for used vehicles is currently high, vehicle purchases are typically discretionary for consumers and the retail market for used vehicles is subject to economic factors, such as demand, consumer interests, inventory levels, pricing of new car models, interest rates, fuel costs, tariffs and other general economic conditions. Any decrease in residual values of our non-program vehicles could result in a substantial loss on the sale of such vehicles or accelerated depreciation while we own the vehicles, which can materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

If we are unable to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles or the cost of the vehicles we purchase increases, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

Our vehicle purchase strategies can be affected by commercial, economic, market and other conditions, including a reduction of supply from auto manufacturers and any rebates or other incentives offered by them for our purchases. Purchases of vehicles from manufacturers are generally made pursuant to master agreement or framework agreements and are generally subject to potential delay or cancellation by manufacturers. Although we work with manufacturers on a continuous basis to gain a mutual understanding of their supply of, and our demand for, vehicles, the process by which we normally purchase vehicles does not always guarantee the availability of the desired vehicles on a timely basis, or provide us with remedies for any unavailability. Additionally, since 2020, auto manufacturers have faced a shortage of Chips and other digital devices used to control engines and transmissions, which has affected the availability of new vehicles being produced and our reliance on the used vehicle market, which is experiencing historically high prices, has increased. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase a sufficient number of vehicles at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient supply of vehicles, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms during the acquisition of vehicles and are unable to recover from the increased costs, then our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

The failure of a manufacturer of our program vehicles to fulfill its obligations under a repurchase or guaranteed depreciation program could expose us to losses on those program vehicles.

If any manufacturer of our program vehicles does not fulfill its obligations under its repurchase or guaranteed depreciation agreement with us, whether due to default, reorganization, bankruptcy or otherwise, then we would have to dispose of those program vehicles without receiving the benefits of the associated repurchase programs. In addition, we could be left with a substantial unpaid claim against the manufacturer with respect to program vehicles

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

that were sold back to the manufacturer but not paid for, or that were sold for less than their agreed repurchase price or guaranteed value.

The failure by a manufacturer to pay such amounts could cause a credit enhancement deficiency under our asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements, requiring us to either reduce the outstanding principal amount of debt or provide more collateral (in the form of cash, vehicles and/or certain other contractual rights) to the creditors under any such affected arrangement.

If one or more manufacturers were to adversely modify or eliminate repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs in the future, our access to and the terms of asset-backed and asset-based debt financing could be adversely affected, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.

The Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act of 2015 prohibits us from renting or selling vehicles with open federal safety recalls and requires us to repair or address these recalls prior to renting or selling the vehicle. If a large number of vehicles are the subject of a recall or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to rent recalled vehicles for a significant period of time. The potential impact of a recall may be particularly severe if it impacts a model that comprises a significant proportion of our fleet, or parts that are common cross numerous model types, such as recalls of airbags in recent years. These types of disruptions could jeopardize our ability to fulfill existing contractual commitments or satisfy demand for our vehicles and could also result in the loss of business to competitors whose fleets are not similarly impacted. Depending on the severity of any recall, it could materially adversely affect, among other things, our revenues, create customer service problems, present liability claims, reduce the residual value of the recalled vehicles and harm our general reputation.

We rely on third-party distribution channels for a significant amount of our revenues, and the loss of access to or changes in these distribution channels could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Third-party distribution channels account for a significant amount of our vehicle rental reservations. These third-party distribution channels include traditional and online travel agencies, third-party internet sites, airlines and hotel companies, marketing partners such as credit card companies and membership organizations and global distribution systems that allow travel agents, travel service providers and customers to connect directly to our reservations systems. Loss of access to any of these channels, changes in pricing or commission structures or a reduction in transaction volume could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, particularly if our customers are unable to access our reservation systems through alternate channels.

If our customers develop loyalty to internet travel intermediaries rather than our brands, our financial results may suffer.

Certain internet travel intermediaries, such as online travel agencies and third-party internet sites, use generic indicators of the type of vehicle (such as “standard” or “compact”) at the expense of brand identification and some intermediaries have launched their own loyalty programs to develop loyalties to their reservation system rather than to our brands. If the volume of sales made through internet travel intermediaries increases significantly and consumers develop stronger loyalties to these intermediaries rather than to our brands, our business and revenues could be adversely affected. Additionally, if our market share suffers due to lower levels of customer loyalty, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Damage to our reputation or brands could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our reputation and global brands are integral to the success of our business and depend on many factors, including the quality of our products and services and the trust we maintain with our customers. Negative claims or publicity

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

regarding, among other things, our Company or our operations, offerings, practices, or customer service may damage our brands or reputation, even if such claims are untrue. Damage to our reputation or brands could result in a loss of customers and adversely impact our revenue and profitability. Additionally, if we fail to provide a high-quality rental experience for our customers and members, adopt new technologies or adapt to changes in the mobility industry, or otherwise meet our customer needs, there could be substantial harm to our reputation and competitiveness, which could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Our commercial off airport leases and airport concession agreements expose us to risks.

We maintain a substantial network of vehicle rental locations at off airport and airport locations in the U.S. and internationally. If we are unable to continue operating these facilities at their current locations due to the termination of leases or the termination of vehicle rental concessions at airports, which comprise a majority of our revenues, our operating results could be adversely affected. These leases and concession agreements typically include minimum payment obligations that are required even if our volume significantly declines which could increase our costs as a percentage of revenues. In addition, if the costs of these leases and/or concession agreements increase and we are unable to increase our pricing structure to offset the increased costs, our financial results could suffer.

Maintaining favorable brand recognition is essential to our success, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Our business is heavily dependent upon the favorable brand recognition that our “Hertz”, “Dollar” and “Thrifty” brand names have in the markets in which they participate. Factors affecting brand recognition are often outside our control, and our efforts to maintain or enhance favorable brand recognition, such as marketing and advertising campaigns, may not have their desired effects. In addition, although our licensing partners are subject to contractual requirements to protect our brands, it may be difficult to monitor or enforce such requirements, particularly in foreign jurisdictions and various laws may limit our ability to enforce the terms of these agreements or to terminate the agreements. Any decline in perceived favorable recognition of our brands could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We may face issues with our union-represented employees.

Active labor contracts covering the terms of employment for the Company's union-represented employees in the U.S. (including those in the U.S. territories) are presently in effect, many of which cover employees at our larger airport locations, primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. These contracts are renegotiated periodically and we anticipate renegotiating labor contracts with approximately 45% of these employees in 2022. Failure to negotiate a new labor agreement when required could result in a work stoppage. Although we believe that our labor relations have generally been good, it is possible that we could become subject to additional work rules imposed by agreements with labor unions, or that contract extensions, work stoppages or other labor disturbances could occur in the future. In addition, our non-union-represented workforce has been subject to unionization efforts in the past, and we could be subject to future unionization, which could lead to increases in our operating costs and/or constraints on our operating flexibility.

RISKS RELATED TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, CYBERSECURITY AND PRIVACY RISKS

Cyber security threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, and a successful cyber security attack could interrupt or disrupt our information technology systems, or those of our third-party service providers, which could, among other things, disrupt our business, force us to incur costs or cause reputational harm.

We encounter continuous exposure to cyber-attacks and other security threats to our information networks and systems and the information stored on those networks and systems. Cyber-attacks are increasing in their frequency, sophistication and intensity, and have become increasingly difficult to detect. Cyber-attacks could include the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-services attacks and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the availability, confidentiality and integrity or information. Cyber-attacks could also include phishing attempts or other methods to cause payments or information to be transmitted to an unintended recipient. Cyber

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

threat actors are also attempting to exploit vulnerabilities through software that is commonly used by companies in cloud-based services, programs and bundled software. Like many other companies, we experience attempts by third-parties to gain access to our systems and networks on a frequent basis, and the frequency of such attempts could increase in the future. At this time, we do not believe that any such attempts have had a material effect on our business, operations or financial condition. We have invested in the protection of data and information technology, and actively work to enhance our business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities to ensure resilience; however, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.

We monitor our obligations under and compliance with global laws requiring information security safeguards and notification in the event of a security breach. We respond to potential security issues by utilizing procedures that provide for controls on detecting and addressing cyber security threats and communicating information to senior personnel and security representatives that we retain. We have also taken steps to address cyber security threats at third-parties that handle, possess, process and store our information to mitigate the potential risk to us. Such measures include contractually requiring the third-parties to maintain certain data security controls. However, because of the rapidly changing nature and sophistication of these security threats, which can be difficult to detect, there can be no assurance that our controls, policies and procedures have or will detect or prevent all of these threats, and we cannot predict the full impact of any past or future incident. Any failure by us to effectively address, enforce and maintain our information technology infrastructure and cyber security requirements may result in substantial harm to our business, including major disruptions to business operations, loss of intellectual property, release of confidential information, malicious corruption of data, regulatory intervention and sanctions or fines, investigation and remediation costs and possible prolonged negative publicity. Additionally, although we maintain insurance coverage to address cyber security events that we believe is adequate for our business, there can be no assurance that such insurance will cover substantially all of our potential costs and expenses related to cyber security incidents that may happen in the future.

Our business is heavily reliant upon information technology systems, some of which are managed, hosted, provided or used by third parties, including cloud-based service providers, and any significant failures or disruptions to these systems could adversely impact our business.

Our ability to, among other things, accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our pricing, manage our revenue earning vehicles, manage our financing arrangements, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business is dependent on the performance and availability of our networks and systems, as well as those of third-party cloud providers. We have experienced, and from time to time in the future may experience, a failure or interruption that results in the unavailability of certain information systems. Additionally, our major information technology systems, reservations and accounting functions are centralized in a few locations worldwide. Any disruption, termination or substandard provision of services, including by third-party cloud providers, whether as the result of localized conditions (e.g., fire, explosion or hacking), failure of our systems to function as designed, or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (e.g., earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and technology functions; interfering with our ability to manage our vehicles; delaying or disrupting rental and sales processes; adversely affecting our ability to comply with our financing arrangements; and otherwise impacting our ability to manage our business. These events could, individually or in the aggregate, lead to lower revenues, increased costs or other effects on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows, which may be material.

If we fail to maintain, upgrade and consolidate our information technology systems, our business could be adversely affected.

In the ordinary course of our business, we evaluate, upgrade and consolidate our systems, including making changes to legacy systems, replacing legacy systems with successor systems with new functionality and acquiring new systems with new functionality. In addition, we outsource a significant portion of our information technology services. These types of activities subject us to additional costs and inherent risks associated with outsourcing, replacing and changing these systems, including impairment of our ability to manage our business, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating
29

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate the new systems, demands on management time, potential delays or disruptions from upgrading and consolidating our systems and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to outsourcing alternatives, new systems or integrating new systems into our current systems. If we fail to maintain comprehensive technology enablement and effective processes, we may be unable to support business growth expectations, and such failure could result in excessive overhead costs, high rates of transaction failures and rework, detrimental impact to customers, excessive write-offs and potential litigation, service quality issues, declining employee morale, loss of key talent and other unfavorable consequences. These risks are elevated when legacy systems and infrastructure updates are delayed or otherwise not made on a timely basis, which can result in a heightened security risk. In addition, the implementation of our technology initiatives and systems may cause disruptions in our business operations by severely degrading performance or a complete loss of service and have an adverse effect on our business and operations if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated and our competitive position may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain systems that allow us to manage our business in a competitive manner.

The misuse or theft of information we possess, including as a result of cyber security breaches, could harm our brand, reputation or competitive position and give rise to material liabilities which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We regularly collect, process and store non-public information about millions of individuals and businesses, including both credit and debit card information and other sensitive and confidential personal information in the normal course of our business. In addition, our customers regularly transmit sensitive and confidential information to us via the internet and through other electronic means. Despite the security measures and compliance programs we currently maintain and monitor, our facilities and systems and those of our third-party service providers may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our facilities or systems, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, misrepresentation, or other forms of deception. We and our service providers may not anticipate or prevent all types of attempts to obtain unauthorized access until after they have already been launched, and techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers. For example, in recent years, many companies have been subject to high-profile security breaches that involved sophisticated and targeted attacks on the company’s infrastructure and the compromise of non-public sensitive and confidential information. These attacks were often not recognized or detected until after the disclosure of sensitive information notwithstanding the preventive and anticipative measures the companies had maintained. While we work to continuously evaluate our security throughout our business and make appropriate changes to our operating processes and improve our defenses and we implement security measures designed to safeguard our systems and data, and intend to continue implementing additional measures in the future, our implementation efforts may be incomplete or our measures may not be sufficient to maintain the confidentiality, security, or availability of the data we collect, store, and use to operate our business. Additionally, any failure to manage information privacy in compliance with applicable laws, whether as a result of our own error or the error or malfeasance of others, could result in regulatory fines and sanctions, increased litigation, prolonged negative publicity, data breaches, declining customer confidence, loss of key customers, employee liability, shareholder derivative lawsuits and other unfavorable consequences.

We may face particular data protection, data security and privacy risks in connection with the European Union's Global Data Protection Regulation and other privacy regulations.

Our business requires the secure processing and storage of personal information relating to our customers, employees, business partners and others. Strict data privacy laws regulating the collection, transmission, storage and use of employee data and consumers’ personally-identifying information are continuously evolving in the European Union, U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we operate. In particular, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) imposes compliance obligations for the collection, use, retention, security, processing, transfer and deletion of personally identifiable information of individuals. In addition, countries such as the United Kingdom have implemented the GDPR through their own legislation, for example, the UK Data Protection Act of 2018. Privacy laws in the U.S. include the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which expands the definition of personal information and grants, among other things, individual rights to access and delete

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. These laws and regulations can also impose significant forfeitures and penalties for noncompliance and afford private rights of action to individuals under certain circumstances.

We actively monitor compliance with data protection and privacy-related laws and other regulations, including upcoming legislation, in the jurisdictions we operate; however, these laws are developing rapidly and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. Changes in the legal and regulatory environments in the areas of customer and employee privacy, data security, and cross-border data flows could have a material adverse effect on our business, primarily through the regulation of our marketing and transaction processing activities, the limitation on the types of information that we may collect, process and retain, the resulting costs of complying with such legal and regulatory requirements and potential monetary forfeitures and penalties for noncompliance, which could be significant. Such regulations also may increase our compliance and administrative burden significantly and require us to invest resources and management attention in order to update our information technology systems to meet new requirements.

RISKS RELATED TO LEGAL, REGULATORY AND TAX MATTERS

Our foreign operations expose us to risks that may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Our foreign operations generate revenue outside the U.S. Accordingly, operating in many different countries exposes us to varying risks, which include: (i) multiple, and sometimes conflicting, foreign regulatory requirements and laws that are subject to change and are often much different than the domestic laws in the U.S., including laws relating to taxes, automobile-related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, cost and fee recovery, and the protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property; (ii) the effect of foreign currency translation risk, as well as limitations on our ability to repatriate income; (iii) varying tax regimes, including consequences from changes in applicable tax laws and our ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. affiliates without adverse tax consequences; (iv) local ownership or investment requirements, as well as difficulties in obtaining financing in foreign countries for local operations; and (v) political and economic instability, natural calamities, war, and terrorism.

The effects of these risks may, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

The recognition of previously-deferred tax gains on the disposition of revenue earning vehicles may not be fully offset by full expensing of newly-purchased revenue earning vehicles.

A material and extended reduction in vehicle purchases by our U.S. vehicle rental business, for any reason, could require us to make material cash payments for U.S. federal and state income tax liabilities. We cannot offer assurance that allowances for the full expensing of purchased revenue earning vehicles in the future will exceed previously deferred tax gains realized upon the disposition of revenue earning vehicles.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") reduces the allowable expense from 100% of the acquisition costs by 20% per year beginning in 2023, fully eliminating the bonus component by 2027. This change could result in the Company being required to make future material cash tax payments on the sales of revenue earning vehicles. We cannot predict if or when legislation would be enacted in the future to allow full or partial expensing of purchased revenue earning vehicles or to allow deferral of tax gains on the dispositions of revenue earning vehicles.

Under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), certain financing arrangements are not eligible for 100% expensing of the costs of the purchased vehicles. Our ability to fully expense such costs may be impacted as a result of such financing transactions.

These events may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) may be limited as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy, a prior ownership change under Section 382 of the Code, and changes under the TCJA.

In general, Section 382 of the Code provides an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its NOLs and other tax attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses ("BILs"), against future taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. Our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, as well as the sale by entities affiliated with Carl Icahn on May 26, 2020, of approximately 38.9% of our then-outstanding stock, resulted in a change in ownership for purposes of Section 382 of the Code. The Company has performed an analysis of the impact of this ownership change and concluded that there should not be a material impact on U.S. federal NOLs but that there may be some restrictions on the use of NOLs at the state level under state statutes corresponding to Section 382.

Limitations imposed on our ability to use NOLs, other tax attributes and BILs to offset future taxable income may cause U.S. federal income taxes to be paid earlier than otherwise would be paid if such limitations were not in effect and could cause such NOLs and other tax attributes to expire unused. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes. If we experience a subsequent ownership change, it is possible that a significant portion of our tax attributes could be further limited for use to offset future taxable income.

In addition, our NOL utilization was statutorily limited under the TCJA, which limited a taxpayer’s ability to use NOLs to 80% of taxable income and disallowed the carryback of NOLs arising after 2017.

We face risks related to liabilities and insurance.

Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the vehicles rented or sold by us, and for employment-related injury claims by our employees. The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims for which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. We generally self-insure up to $10 million per occurrence globally and the Company has $200 million insurance coverage excess of retentions. There can be no assurance that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability at levels in excess of our historical levels, that liabilities in respect of existing or future claims will not exceed the level of our insurance or reserves, that we will have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims or that insurance with unaffiliated carriers will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. See Item 1, “Business - Insurance and Risk Management” and Note 14, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, ‘‘Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Environmental laws and regulations and the costs of complying with them, or any liability or obligation imposed under them, could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including with respect to the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and used oils. We cannot guarantee that the tanks will at all times remain free from leaks or that the use of these tanks will not result in significant spills or leakage. If a leak or a spill occurs, it is possible that the costs to investigate and remediate resulting impacts, as well as any associated fines, could be significant. Historically, we have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating certain hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. Compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations may require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows. See Item 1, ‘‘Business—Government Regulation and Environmental Matters’’ in this 2021 Annual Report.

The U.S. Congress and other legislative and regulatory authorities in the U.S. and internationally have considered, and will likely continue to consider, numerous measures related to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Should rules establishing limitations on greenhouse gas emissions or rules imposing fees on entities deemed to be responsible for greenhouse gas emissions become effective, demand for our services could be affected, our vehicle, and/or other, costs could increase, and our business could be adversely affected.

Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to accounting principles, taxes, automobile related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, licensing and franchising, used-car sales (including retail sales), cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We are subject to a wide variety of U.S. laws and regulations and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices and materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. Those changes may occur through new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations.

In addition, the current domestic and international political environment, including government shutdowns and changes to U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs, has resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy. The U.S. federal government may propose additional changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, taxes, and other government rules and regulations. These regulatory changes could significantly impact our business and financial performance.

Any new, or change in existing, U.S. law and regulation with respect to optional insurance products or policies could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenue and profitability. For further discussion regarding how changes in the regulation of insurance intermediaries may affect us, see Item 1, ‘‘Business—Insurance and Risk Management’’ in this 2021 Annual Report. If customers decline to purchase supplemental liability insurance products from us as a result of any changes in these laws or otherwise, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We derive revenue through rental activities of our brands under franchise and license arrangements. These arrangements are subject to various international, federal and state laws and regulations that impose limitations on our interactions with counterparties. In addition, the used-vehicle sale industry, including our network of company-operated retail vehicle sales locations, is subject to a wide range of federal, state and local laws and regulations, such as those relating to motor vehicle sales, retail installment sales and related finance and insurance matters, advertising, licensing, consumer protection and consumer privacy. Changes in these laws and regulations that impact our franchising and licensing agreements or our used-vehicle sales could adversely affect our results.

In most jurisdictions where we operate, we pass-through various expenses, including the recovery of vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, to our rental customers as separate charges. We believe that our expense pass-throughs, where imposed, are properly disclosed and are lawful. However, in the event of incorrect calculations or disclosures with respect to expense pass-throughs, or a successful challenge to the methodology we have used for determining our expense pass-through treatment, we could be subject to fines or other liabilities. In addition, we may in the future be subject to potential legislative, regulatory or administrative changes or actions which could limit, restrict or prohibit our ability to separately state, charge and recover vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Certain proposed or enacted laws and regulations with respect to the banking and finance industries, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (including risk retention requirements) and amendments to the SEC's rules relating to asset-backed securities, could restrict our access to certain financing

arrangements and increase our financing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We are subject to many different forms of taxation in various jurisdictions throughout the world, which could lead to disagreements with tax authorities regarding the application of tax laws.

We are subject to many forms of taxation in the jurisdictions throughout the world in which we operate, including, but not limited to, income tax, withholding tax and payroll-related taxes. Tax law and administration are extremely complex and often require us, together with our advisors, to make subjective determinations.

For example, in accordance with Section 482 of the Code and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines, we have established transfer pricing policies to govern our intercompany operations. Implementing transfer pricing policies can be extremely complex and may often require us, together with our advisors, to make subjective determinations.

Tax authorities could disagree with our determinations, which disagreements could result in lengthy legal disputes and, ultimately, the payment of substantial funds to government authorities, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

An impairment of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could have a material impact to our results of operations.

On an annual basis as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event, we test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis. An impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair value as determined using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The reviews of fair value involve judgment and estimates, including estimated future cash flows and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins, projected revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. A significant decline in either projected revenues, projected cash flows or the weighted average cost of capital used to determine fair value could result in a material impairment charge. For details of the impairment charges incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, see Note 5, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Our global business requires a compliance program to promote organizational adherence to applicable laws and regulations.

We have a compliance program designed to (i) identify applicable anti-bribery requirements (e.g., laws limiting commercial bribery and corruption), (ii) identify applicable anti-trust requirements (e.g., laws to prevent price fixing, contract rigging, market or customer allocations, etc.), (iii) interpret the application of such requirements, (iv) educate target audiences and (v) provide independent, ongoing compliance monitoring.

Our operations in many different countries increases the risk of a violation, or alleged violation, of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom Bribery Act, other applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, the economic sanction programs administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the anti-boycott regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of Anti-Boycott Compliance. The failure of our program to operate as designed can result in a failure to comply with applicable laws, which could result in significant penalties or otherwise harm the Company’s reputation and business. There can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors and agents will comply with the Company’s policies that mandate compliance with these laws. Violations of these laws could result in legal and regulatory sanctions, increased litigation and fines, prolonged negative publicity, diminished investor confidence, declining employee morale and other unfavorable consequences, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Hertz Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own and depends on its subsidiaries for cash.

The operations of Hertz Holdings are conducted nearly entirely through its subsidiaries and its ability to generate cash to meet its debt service obligations or to pay dividends on its common stock is dependent on the earnings and the receipt of funds from its subsidiaries via dividends or intercompany loans. However, none of the subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings are obligated to make funds available to Hertz Holdings for the payment of dividends or the service of its debt. In addition, certain states' laws and the terms of certain of our debt agreements significantly restrict, or prohibit, the ability of Hertz and its subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or otherwise transfer assets to Hertz Holdings, including state laws that require dividends to be paid only from surplus. If Hertz Holdings does not receive cash from its subsidiaries, then Hertz Holdings' financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS

Our indebtedness exposes us to various risks, which could impair our financial condition.

As of December 31, 2021, we had a total indebtedness of approximately $10.9 billion, including $7.9 billion of vehicle related debt and $3.0 billion of non-vehicle debt. A portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable rates which exposes us to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations and higher interest expenses in the event of increases in interest rates. See Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this 2021 Annual Report for additional information related to interest rate risk.

Our ability to satisfy and manage our debt obligations depends on our ability to generate cash flow and on overall financial market conditions. To some extent, this is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which makes us more vulnerable to adverse changes in these factors. As a result, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to permit us to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest on our debt obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt obligations and meet our other cash needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell or curtail assets or operations, seek additional capital, or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. If we must sell or curtail our assets or operations, it may negatively affect our ability to generate revenue. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we would be able to borrow additional amounts or refinance our current indebtedness to fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or acquisitions and other purposes on favorable terms.

Our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase vehicles subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing to purchase vehicles. If we are unable to refinance or replace our existing asset-backed and asset-based financing or continue to finance new vehicle acquisitions through asset-backed or asset-based financing on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, then our costs of financing could increase significantly and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, interest costs, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Our asset-backed and asset-based financing capacity could be decreased, our financing costs and interest rates could be increased, or our future access to the financial markets could be limited, as a result of risks and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, including: (i) the acceptance by credit markets of the structures and structural risks associated with our asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements; (ii) the credit ratings provided by credit rating agencies for our asset-backed indebtedness; (iii) third parties requiring changes in the terms and structure of our asset-backed or asset-based financing arrangements, including increased credit enhancement or required cash collateral and/or other liquid reserves; (iv) the insolvency or deterioration of the financial condition of one or more of our principal vehicle manufacturers; or (v) changes in laws or regulations, including judicial review of issues of first impression, that negatively affect any of our asset-backed or asset-based financing arrangements. Although we continued to maintain access to asset-backed financing during the Chapter 11 Cases, the cost of such facilities was in excess of costs incurred by our competitors. Following our emergence from
35

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

bankruptcy, the cost of asset-backed financing has returned to competitive levels, however, there can be no assurance that this competitive disadvantage will not reoccur in the future.

Our asset-backed and certain asset-based vehicle financing facilities include credit enhancement provisions that require us to provide cash or additional vehicle collateral in the event the estimated market values for the vehicles used as collateral decrease below net book values. As a result, reductions in the estimated market value of vehicles used as collateral could adversely affect our profitability and potentially lead to decreased borrowing base availability. In addition, if our ability to sell vehicles in the used vehicle marketplace were to become severely limited we may have difficulty meeting the minimum required collateral levels, and the principal under our asset-backed and certain asset-based financing arrangements may be required to be repaid sooner than anticipated with vehicle disposition proceeds and lease payments we make to our special purpose financing subsidiaries. If that were to occur, the holders of our asset-backed and certain asset-based debt may have the ability to exercise their right to direct the trustee or other secured party to foreclose on and sell vehicles to generate proceeds sufficient to repay such debt.

In certain circumstances, the proceeds of sales of vehicles that collateralize asset-backed financing arrangements could be required to be applied to the payment of principal and interest on the affected facility or series. Additionally, certain events could result in a liquidation event pursuant to which the trustee or holders of the affected asset-backed financing arrangement would be permitted to require the sale of the assets collateralizing that series. Failure by us to have proper financing and debt management processes may result in cash shortfalls and liquidity problems, emergency financing at high interest rates, violations of debt covenants, an inability to execute strategic initiatives, which may affect our liquidity and our ability to maintain sufficient levels of revenue earning vehicles to meet customer demands and could trigger cross-defaults under certain of our other financing arrangements.

Substantially all of our consolidated assets secure certain of our outstanding indebtedness, which could materially adversely affect our debt and equity holders and our business.

Substantially all of our consolidated assets, including our revenue earning vehicles, are subject to security interests or are otherwise encumbered for the lenders under our senior credit facilities, asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements.

Because substantially all of our assets are encumbered under financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial flexibility and force us to attempt to incur additional unsecured indebtedness, which may not be available to us.

We may not be able to deduct certain business interest expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The limitations on the deductibility of business interest expense under Section 163(j) of the Code, which was significantly modified by the TCJA and then temporarily modified by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity. Further limitations on the deductibility of interest on indebtedness may also result from an adverse determination that debt instruments should be treated as equity for tax purposes.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK

We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Stock repurchases could also increase the volatility of our stock and could diminish our liquidity.

Our Board has authorized a stock repurchase program that does not have an expiration date. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares of our common stock. We cannot guarantee that the program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

value. Further, stock repurchases could affect the market price of our common stock or increase its volatility and decrease our cash balances and/or our liquidity.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

Numerous factors, including many over which we have no control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. These risks include those described or referred to in this “Risk Factors” section and in the other documents incorporated herein by reference as well as, among other things:
our operating and financial performance and prospects;
sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell;
our ability to repay our debt;
our access to financial and capital markets to refinance our debt or replace the existing credit facilities;
investor perceptions of us and the industry and markets in which we operate;
our dividend policy;
future sales of equity or equity-related securities;
announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against us;
issuances of new or updated research reports by security or industry analysts, or those analysts not publishing or ceasing to publish reports about us, our industry or out market;
changes in, or results that vary from, earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts; and
general financial, domestic, economic and other market conditions.

In addition, stock markets experience significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may have material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management, including, generally, provisions that:
do not provide cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
provide for a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Board;
allow for removal of directors only for cause;
allow only the Board to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, retirement, disqualification or removal of a director;
require advance notice for stockholder proposals to be brought before a meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors;
only allow stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting;
limit the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting; and
authorize blank check preferred stock.

These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, we have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with a stockholder owning
37

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, unless the stockholder has held the stock for a period of at least three years.

The choice of forum provision in our Certificate of Incorporation could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or colleagues.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) is the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder to bring any state law claim for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company to us or to our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (4) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, and (5) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, the choice of forum provision provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, claims brought under the Securities Act must be brought exclusively in the federal district courts of the United States. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other colleagues, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other colleagues. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

We may pursue strategic transactions, including acquisitions and divestitures, which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.

Any future strategic acquisition or disposition of assets or a business could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business or segregating assets and operations to be disposed of; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the acquisition or disposition or against any business we may acquire; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; and (v) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies. If we enter into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations, particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. A material disposition could require the amendment or refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness or a portion thereof.

Our results of operations and stock price could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls.

The accuracy of our financial reporting is dependent on the effectiveness of our internal controls. We are required to provide a report from management to our shareholders on our internal control over financial reporting that includes an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls. Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud. Because of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting might not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud. If we cannot maintain and execute adequate internal control over financial reporting or implement required new or improved controls that provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external use, we could suffer harm to our reputation, incur incremental compliance costs, fail to meet our public reporting requirements on a timely basis, be unable to properly report on our business and our results of operations, or be required to restate our financial statements, and our results of operations, our stock price and our ability to obtain new business could be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)

A business continuity plan is necessary for our global business.

We have a business continuity plan designed to (i) identify key assets, operations and underlying threats, (ii) define and assess relevant threats (e.g., natural disasters, pandemics, terrorism, etc.) on business operations, (iii) develop and categorize action plans to minimize the impact of the identified threats and (iv) test the adequacy of our action plans. If our business continuity plan fails to operate as intended, we may experience significant business disruptions, release of confidential information, malicious corruption of data, regulatory intervention and sanctions, prolonged negative publicity, litigation and liabilities, product and service quality failures, irreparable harm to customer relationships and other unfavorable consequences which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

We participate in multiemployer pension plans and could face a significant liability if we withdraw from participation in such plans or in the event other employers in such plans withdraw or are unable to, or fail to, pay their liabilities.

In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of the multiemployer plans in which we participate, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statements of operations and as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan’s funding of vested benefits. If our multiemployer plans have underfunded liabilities, such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent, withdraw from the applicable plan or are unable or fail to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. See Note 7, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, ‘‘Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We operate vehicle rental locations at or near airports and in central business districts and suburban areas of major cities in the U.S., where our primary markets are located in the states of California, Florida, Hawaii, New York and Texas which include approximately 40% of our U.S. rental locations. We also operate vehicle rental operations internationally, where our primary markets are located in Australia, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom which include approximately 40% of our international rental locations.

We own approximately 5% of the locations from which we operate our vehicle rental businesses and in some cases own real property that we lease to franchisees or other third parties. The remaining locations from which we operate our vehicle rental businesses are leased or operated under concessions from governmental authorities and private entities. Our leases and concession agreements typically require minimum lease payments or minimum concession fees and often require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses, pay additional lease payments above guaranteed minimums, which are based on a percentage of revenues or sales at the relevant premises, or to do both.

We own our worldwide headquarters facility in Estero, Florida. We also own one facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at which reservations for our vehicle rental operations are processed, global information technology systems are serviced and certain finance and accounting functions are performed. Additionally, we have a 999-year lease for a reservation and financial center near Dublin, Ireland, at which we have centralized our European vehicle rental reservation, customer relations, accounting and human resource functions and we also lease a European headquarters office in Uxbridge, England.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

HERTZ GLOBAL

As of February 17, 2022, there were 971 holders of record of Hertz Holdings common stock.

Hertz Holdings paid no cash dividends on its common stock in 2021 or 2020, and it does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future.

Since Hertz Holdings does not conduct business itself, it primarily funds dividends on, and repurchases of, its common stock using dividends from Hertz or amounts borrowed under a master loan agreement with Hertz. The credit agreements governing Hertz's First Lien Credit Facilities restrict Hertz's ability to make dividends and certain payments, including payments to Hertz Holdings for dividends on Hertz Holdings' common stock or for share repurchases.

NYSE Delisting and Nasdaq Listing

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") suspended trading of Hertz Global common stock after the market close on October 29, 2020. On October 30, 2020, Hertz Global common stock began trading exclusively on the over-the-counter ("OTC") market under the symbol "HTZGQ," and was delisted from the NYSE on November 10, 2020. Upon deregistration of Hertz Global common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, Hertz Global common stock remained registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. On the Effective Date, all of the Hertz Global common stock then existing was cancelled and Hertz Global issued 471,102,462 shares of its new common stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

On November 8, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global successfully completed the registration of its new common stock and Public Warrants with the SEC for a public offering by certain selling stockholders pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1. On November 9, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global's common stock and Public Warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") under the trading symbols "HTZ" and "HTZWW," respectively.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

Share Repurchase Program for Common Stock

In November 2021, Hertz Global's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion worth of shares of Hertz Global's outstanding common stock.

Tender Offer for Repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock

On November 23, 2021, Hertz Global commenced a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to repurchase all 1,500,000 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a per-share price of $1,250.

There is no established public trading market for the common stock of Hertz. Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which is wholly-owned by Hertz Holdings, owns all of the outstanding common stock of Hertz.

The credit agreements governing Hertz's First Lien Credit Facilities restrict Hertz's ability to make dividends and certain payments, including payments to Hertz Holdings for dividends on Hertz Holdings' common stock or for share repurchases. Following receipt of consent obtained from the lenders of Hertz's First Lien Credit Facilities to permit the retirement of the preferred shares through the Tender Offer as further disclosed in Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global", Hertz paid dividends to Hertz Holdings of $2.5 billion in 2021 to help fund the Tender Offer and common stock repurchases as further disclosed in Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global" to the Notes to its consolidated financial statements in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation. Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, and Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz’s operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global’s revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows herein is for Hertz and also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects, unless otherwise noted. Differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.

The statements in this MD&A regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors.” The following MD&A provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following MD&A together with the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Summary of Risk Factors,” Item 1A, "Risk Factors,” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

In this MD&A we refer to the following non-GAAP measure and key metrics:
Adjusted Corporate EBITDA - important non-GAAP measure to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items, and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows investors to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability and accordingly a GAAP measure, is calculated exclusive of certain items which are largely consistent with those used in the calculation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important key metric to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the expected time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Depreciation Per Unit Per Month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD," also referred to as "pricing") - important key metric to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control. Effective in the third quarter of 2021, we revised our calculation of Total RPD to include ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues to better align with current industry practice, and accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definition.
Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") - important key metric to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the total number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased ("Average Vehicles" or "fleet capacity"). Effective in the third quarter of 2021, we revised our calculation of Total RPU to include ancillary retail vehicle sales revenues to better align with current industry practice, and accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definition.
Transaction Days - important key metric to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and Vehicle Utilization. Transaction Days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period.
Vehicle Utilization - important key metric to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity. Higher Vehicle Utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenues.

Our non-GAAP measure and key metrics should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above non-GAAP measure and key metrics are defined, and the non-GAAP measure is reconciled to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, affecting multiple global regions. The impact of this pandemic has been extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses around the world. In an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, many governments around the world placed significant restrictions on travel, individuals voluntarily reduced their air and other travel in attempts to avoid the outbreak and many businesses announced closures and imposed travel restrictions. In 2021, individuals across the globe have increasingly gained access to COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly in the U.S. During 2021, many of the government-imposed restrictions have been lifted or eased, and travel, particularly domestic leisure travel, has experienced a strong rebound. There remains continued uncertainty about the duration of the negative impact from COVID-19 and its variants, including the length and scope of travel restrictions and business closures that may be imposed by governments of impacted countries or voluntarily undertaken by individuals and private businesses.

Chapter 11 and Emergence

On May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed Petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re The Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW). While in Chapter 11, in general we were allowed to operate our ongoing business, but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of our business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. On May 14, 2021, the Debtors filed the Plan of Reorganization, and the solicitation version of the Supplement to the Disclosure Statement which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on May 14, 2021. On June 10, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On June 30, 2021, the Effective Date, the Plan of Reorganization became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk. The information on this website is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this 2021 Annual Report.

On the Effective Date, as a result of the Plan of Reorganization, we received cash proceeds of $7.5 billion comprised of:
$2.8 billion from the purchase of Hertz Global common stock by the Plan Sponsors and certain other investment funds and entities;
$1.6 billion from the purchase of Hertz Global common stock pursuant to the 2021 Rights Offering;
$1.5 billion (less a 2% upfront discount and stock issuance fees) from the purchase of preferred stock of reorganized Hertz Global by Apollo; and
$1.5 billion in proceeds from our secured exit term loan facilities (the "Term Loans").

Such cash proceeds were used, in part, to provide payments to our stakeholders pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization as follows:
the holders of administrative, priority and secured claims received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the approximately $1.0 billion of obligations owed with respect to the DIP Credit Agreement received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the Senior Term Loan, Senior RCF and Letter of Credit Facility received payment in cash in full with respect to all non-contingent liquidated claims;
the holders of claims with respect to the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the €725 million European Vehicle Notes received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the €257 million Second HIL Credit Agreement received payment in cash in full;
the holders of claims with respect to the Senior Notes and the holders of claims with respect to the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility received payment in cash with respect to (i) all remaining principal, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest as of the Petition Date at the contract rate, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest from the Petition Date to the Effective Date at the federal judgment rate (at such rate in effect as of the Petition Date), subject to the rights of creditors (if any) to bring a claim for the payment of additional interest and/or premiums; and
the holders of general unsecured claims will receive payment in cash in full plus interest at the federal judgment rate from the Petition Date to the date of payment (at such rate in effect as of the Petition Date), subject to the rights of creditors to bring a claim for payment of additional interest.

All of the Hertz Global equity interests existing as of the Effective Date were cancelled on such date in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization with existing equity holders receiving (i) cash in the amount of $1.53 per share of existing interests, (ii) their pro rata share of 3% of the common shares of reorganized Hertz Global, subject to dilution, and (iii) either Public Warrants, for in the aggregate of up to 18% of reorganized Hertz Global common

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, Hertz Global commenced a 2021 Rights Offering, under which eligible holders of Hertz Global's common stock and certain eligible holders of the Senior Notes and lenders under the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility could purchase up to $1.6 billion of shares of the reorganized Hertz Global common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Pursuant to the EPCA, the Backstop Parties agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares in the 2021 Rights Offering.

Hertz Global closed the 2021 Rights Offering upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on June 30, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the EPCA, the Backstop Parties received a backstop fee equal in amount of $164 million (payable in shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock valued at $10.00 per share).

As a result of these transactions, on the Effective Date, Hertz Global issued 471,102,462 shares of common stock as follows:

277,119,438 shares to Plan Sponsors pursuant to the EPCA;
127,362,114 shares to eligible participants pursuant to the Rights Offering; and

As discussed below, during the fourth quarter of 2021, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were repurchased and retired by Hertz Global at $1,250 per share.

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization and the Public Warrant Agreement, reorganized Hertz Global issued 89,049,029 Public Warrants. The Public Warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance until June 30, 2051 at which time all unexercised Public Warrants will expire and the rights of the holders of such expired Public Warrants will terminate. The Public Warrants have an initial exercise price of $13.80 and are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any payments of cash dividends, certain dilutive events and recurring fair value adjustments.

On the Effective Date, reorganized Hertz entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement that provides for an aggregate amount of $2.8 billion comprised of the First Lien RCF in an aggregate committed amount of $1.3 billion plus Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Additionally, reorganized Hertz entered into a new HVF III ABS facility in an aggregate of $6.8 billion comprised of variable funding notes with a principal amount up to $2.8 billion and medium term notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion. On the Effective Date, substantially all non-vehicle debt and all existing ABS facilities under the HVF II U.S. ABS Program were repaid in full and terminated in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization. See Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report for additional information.

NYSE Delisting and Nasdaq Listing

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the NYSE suspended trading of Hertz Global common stock after the market close on October 29, 2020. On October 30, 2020, Hertz Global common stock began trading exclusively on the OTC market under the symbol "HTZGQ," and was delisted from the NYSE on November 10, 2020. Upon deregistration of Hertz Global common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, Hertz Global common stock remained registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As discussed above, on the Effective Date, all of the Hertz Global common stock then existing was cancelled and Hertz Global issued 471,102,462 shares of its new common stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

On November 8, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global successfully completed its Nasdaq listing, in which shares of its new common stock were registered with the SEC for a public offering by certain selling stockholders. On November 9, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global's common stock and Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the trading symbols "HTZ" and "HTZWW," respectively.

In conjunction with the Nasdaq listing certain selling stockholders offered and sold 44,520,000 shares of Hertz Global's common stock to the public. Of these shares, Hertz Global repurchased from the underwriters 10,344,828 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $300 million. This amount is included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

Share Repurchase Program for Common Stock

In November 2021, Hertz Global's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion worth of shares of Hertz Global's outstanding common stock. Any repurchases will be made at the discretion of management through a variety of methods, such as open-market transactions (including pre-set trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The share repurchase authorization has no initial time limit, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases.

Between the inception of the share repurchase program and December 31, 2021, a total of 17,106,026 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased at an average share price of $23.83, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $408 million.

In December 2021, the Tender Offer expired and all 1,500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were repurchased at $1,250 per share for aggregate payments by Hertz Global of $1.9 billion, including approximately $7 million in certain fees. Hertz Global funded the share repurchases in the Tender Offer with available cash, including proceeds from Hertz's offering of the Senior Notes Due 2026 and Senior Notes Due 2029 which were contributed to Hertz Global through a dividend distribution from Hertz. The repurchased shares of Series A Preferred Stock were simultaneously retired.

Our Business

We are engaged principally in the business of renting vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. In addition to vehicle rental, we provided integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary, where in the fourth quarter of 2020, we entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities as discussed below. The sale was completed on March 30, 2021. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on
51

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions, including residual values. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and as such, we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures.

Our strategy includes optimization of our vehicle rental operations, disciplined performance management and evaluation of all locations. In October 2021, we announced several new initiatives as part of a plan to offer the largest EV rental fleet, to lead in providing access to EVs for ride sharing and to digitize our vehicle disposition process. These efforts are aimed at positioning us to be a leader in the future mobility ecosystem.

Our revenues are primarily derived from rental and related charges and consist of worldwide vehicle rental revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with value-added services, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and other products and fees. Also included are ancillary revenues associated with retail vehicle sales and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees are less than 2% of total revenues each period).

We also had revenues from vehicle leasing and fleet management services by our Donlen business, which was sold on March 30, 2021.

Our expenses primarily consist of:
Direct vehicle and operating expense ("DOE"), primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs;
Depreciation expense and lease charges relating to revenue earning vehicles, including gains and losses and related costs associated with the disposal of vehicles;
Depreciation and amortization expense relating to non-vehicle assets;
Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A"), which includes advertising costs and administrative personnel costs, along with costs for information technology and finance transformation programs;
Interest expense, net; and
Reorganization items, net, which includes charges associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, primarily professional fees which concluded on the Effective Date as a result of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization.

To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff. As demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for demand.

Our Reportable Segments

In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with the Chapter 11 Emergence, and changes in how our CODM regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, we revised our reportable segments to include Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean in our Americas RAC reportable segment, which were previously included in our International RAC reportable segment. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised presentation. We have identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with our operating segments and
52

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
organized based on the products and services provided and the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows:
Americas RAC - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S. Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean; and
International RAC - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of value-added services, internationally and consists primarily of our Europe and other international locations.

Also, in the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the Donlen Sale, as further disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report, the All Other Operations reportable segment which was primarily comprised of the Donlen business was no longer deemed to be a reportable segment.

In addition to the above reportable segments, we have corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.

Revenue Earning Vehicles

Revenue earning vehicles used in our rental and leasing operations are recorded at cost, net of related discounts and incentives from manufacturers. Holding periods typically range from six to thirty-six months. Also included in revenue earning vehicles are vehicles placed on our retail lots for sale or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels.

Program vehicles are purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs with vehicle manufacturers wherein the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee the residual value of the program vehicle upon sale, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on market demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than that for non-program vehicles.

When a revenue earning vehicle is acquired outside of a vehicle repurchase program, we estimate the period that we will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage). We also estimate the residual value of the applicable revenue earning vehicles at the expected time of disposal, considering factors such as make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year, channel disposition (e.g., auction, retail, dealer direct) and market conditions. The vehicle is depreciated using a rate based on these estimates. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the expected time of disposal and the estimated holding period of the vehicle. Differences between actual residual values and those estimated result in an adjustment to depreciation upon disposition of the vehicle. Our depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges also includes costs associated with the disposal of vehicles and rents paid for vehicles leased.

We dispose of our non-program vehicles via auction, dealer direct and retail locations. In October 2021, we announced a nationwide agreement with Carvana with respect to our vehicle disposition process and our plan to position us at the center of the modern mobility ecosystem. The Carvana arrangement allows us to digitize and modernize our retail sales process, reduce our reliance on wholesale channels and allow us to renew our vehicle supply more rapidly. Non-program vehicles disposed of through our retail locations allow us the opportunity for value-added revenue, such as warranty, financing and title fees. We periodically review and adjust the mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet based on contract negotiations and the economic environment

pertaining to our industry in an effort to optimize the mix of vehicles. Additionally, the use of program vehicles reduces the volatility associated with residual value estimation.

2021 Operating Overview

Effective during the third quarter of 2021, we changed our definition of Total RPD and Total RPU to include ancillary retail sales revenues to better align with current industry practice, and accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised definition. Effective during the second quarter of 2021, we began reporting non-vehicle depreciation expense on a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations, and accordingly prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

The following charts provide several key factors influencing our results for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2020

Total revenues increased $2.1 billion in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to an increase of $2.5 billion and $113 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $494 million in all other operations. Americas RAC revenues increased due primarily to increased pricing resulting from growth in travel demand and industry constraints on vehicles due to the Chip Shortage affecting new vehicle production. Excluding a $42 million impact of fx, revenues for our International RAC segment increased $71 million also due primarily to increased pricing resulting primarily from industry constraints on vehicles due to the Chip Shortage affecting new vehicle production, partially offset by lower volume. The decrease in all other operations was the result of the Donlen Sale in the first quarter of 2021.

DOE increased $497 million in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to an increase of $540 million in our Americas RAC segment, partially offset by a decrease of $42 million in our International RAC segment. The increase in DOE for our Americas RAC segment was due primarily to higher volume, partially offset by lower fleet costs due to reduced fleet size and lower fixed costs resulting from cost-reduction initiatives. Excluding the $30 million impact of fx, DOE for International RAC decreased $72 million due primarily to lower volume and lower fixed costs resulting from cost-reduction initiatives.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges decreased $1.5 billion in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to decreases of $1.0 billion, $435 million, and $89 million in our Americas RAC segment, all other operations, and International RAC segment, respectively. The decrease in our Americas RAC was due primarily to increasing residual values and longer vehicle holding periods resulting in an increase in vehicles that were fully depreciated and an increase in gains recognized on the disposition of vehicles. The decrease in all other operations was due to the sale of our Donlen business in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding a $6 million impact of fx, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges for our International RAC segment decreased $95 million due primarily to right sizing of the fleet, the Chip Shortage affecting new vehicle production and strength in residual values.

Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization decreased $29 million in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to lower depreciation expense resulting in part from the Lease Rejection Orders in our Americas RAC segment in 2020 and fully depreciated intangible assets related to concession rights.

SG&A increased $43 million in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to an increase of $81 million in our corporate operations due primarily to increased personnel costs, partially offset by decreases of $28 million and $9 million in our International RAC segment and all other operations, respectively. Excluding a $6 million fx impact, SG&A in our International RAC segment decreased $34 million due primarily to lower professional fees and lower personnel costs, partially offset by higher marketing spend.

Vehicle interest expense, net decreased $171 million in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to lower average balances and lower average rates primarily in our Americas RAC segment.

Non-vehicle interest expense, net increased $34 million in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to higher amortization of capitalized deferred financing costs, higher letter of credit fees and higher average interest rates due primarily to the issuance of new unsecured senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2021, the issuance of the Term Loans in the second quarter of 2021 and the DIP Credit Agreement which was entered into in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by interest on certain non-vehicle debt being suspended as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases.

We incurred charges of $213 million for impairment of intangible and other assets in 2020 due primarily to $124 million impairment of technology-related intangible assets and $69 million impairment of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs in our corporate operations due to uncertainty surrounding our financial ability to complete certain information technology projects as a result of COVID-19 and the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. Additionally, we incurred a charge of $20 million for impairment of the Hertz tradename in our historical International RAC segment as a result of our annual testing of the recoverability of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

We incurred a charge of $133 million in 2020 in our corporate operations resulting from the full write-off of the 2019 Master Loan with Hertz Holdings due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

We had other income of $21 million in 2021 compared to other income of $9 million in 2020. Other income in 2021 was comprised in part to gains relating to derivative instruments in our corporate operations, the gain on the sales of certain franchises in our Americas RAC segment and income from an equity investment in our corporate operations. Other income of $9 million in 2020 was primarily comprised of a $20 million gain due to additional cash received from the sale of non-vehicle capital assets, primarily offset by $11 million in pension-related settlement charges.

We incurred $513 million of net reorganization charges in 2021, primarily in our corporate operations, which was comprised primarily of professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, the loss on extinguishment of certain debt resulting from the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, a prior plan sponsor breakup fee and other miscellaneous charges related to the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization. We incurred $175 million of net reorganization charges in 2020 in our corporate operations for professional fees and other costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

Gain from the Donlen Sale of $400 million in 2021 resulting from the completion of the Donlen Sale in the first quarter of 2021 which was recorded in our corporate operations.

The effective tax rate in 2021 was 22% compared to 15% in 2020. We recorded a tax provision of $318 million in 2021 compared to a tax benefit of $328 million in 2020. The increase in the tax provision in 2021 compared to 2020 was driven by improvements in our financial performance in 2021, change in the mix of earnings and losses in jurisdictions in which no tax benefit can be recognized, non-deductible bankruptcy expenses, and reduced by the tax benefits of the European reorganization.

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2019

Total revenues decreased $4.5 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 due to reduced demand related to the impact from COVID-19 where there were decreases of $3.5 billion and $1.0 billion in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. Americas RAC revenues decreased due primarily to lower volume. Excluding a $6 million impact of fx, revenues for our International RAC segment decreased $1.0 billion also due primarily to lower volume and pricing.

DOE decreased $1.9 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to decreases of $1.4 billion and $482 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The decrease in our Americas RAC segment was due primarily to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above, lower personnel costs and other cost elimination initiatives. Excluding the $4 million impact of fx, DOE for International RAC decreased $486 million due primarily to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above and lower personnel costs due to employee furloughs and associated government support across Europe related to COVID-19.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges decreased $533 million in 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to decreases of $354 million and $144 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The decreases in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments were due primarily to a reduction in fleet size in response to pandemic-related declines in consumer demand.

Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization increased $22 million in 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to in-service placement of internally developed software assets in our Americas RAC segment.

SG&A decreased $305 million in 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower marketing costs in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, lower personnel costs in our Americas RAC segment and lower information technology and finance transformation costs in our corporate operations.

Vehicle interest expense, net decreased $38 million in 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower vehicle debt levels primarily in our Americas RAC segment.

Non-vehicle interest expense, net decreased $154 million in 2020 compared to 2019 due primarily to lower debt levels, lower market interest rates and the suspension of interest on certain non-vehicle debt as a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases.

We incurred charges of $213 million for impairment of intangible and other assets in 2020 due primarily to $124 million impairment of technology-related intangible assets and $69 million impairment of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs in our corporate operations due to uncertainty surrounding our financial ability to complete certain information technology projects as a result of COVID-19 and the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Other income of $9 million in 2020 was primarily comprised of a $20 million gain due to additional cash received from the sale of non-vehicle capital assets, primarily offset by $11 million in pension-related settlement charges. Other income of $59 million in 2019 was primarily comprised of a $30 million gain on marketable securities and a $39 million gain on non-vehicle capital assets.

We incurred $175 million of net reorganization charges in 2020 in our corporate operations for professional fees and other costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

The effective tax rate in 2020 was 15% compared to 326% in 2019. We recorded a tax benefit of $328 million in 2020 compared to a tax provision of $65 million in 2019. The effective income tax rate and related tax benefit in 2020 compared to 2019 were driven by increased losses on our operations due to the effects of COVID-19, primarily offset by the impact of valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets for certain foreign and domestic jurisdictions.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - HERTZ GLOBAL

The above discussion for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global.

Hertz Global had $627 million of expense from the change in fair value of Public Warrants that was incremental to Hertz for the year ended December 31, 2021. Hertz Global also had $164 million of reorganization items, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz, which represent certain effects from the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization.

Hertz Global had $2 million and $7 million of interest expense, net, during 2020 and 2019, respectively, that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz. These amounts represent interest associated with amounts outstanding under a master loan agreement between the companies. Hertz includes this amount as interest income in its statements of operations, but this amount is eliminated in consolidation for purposes of Hertz Global.

In 2020, Hertz Global had $1 million of income tax benefit that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz due primarily to the $133 million master loan write-off included in Hertz's consolidated statements of operations. In 2019, Hertz had $2 million of tax provision that was incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz Global.

Reorganization items, net for International RAC increased $12 million in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to advisory fees related to debt refinancings and the loss on extinguishment of the European Vehicle Notes resulting from the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization during the first half of 2021.

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2019

Total revenues for International RAC decreased $1.0 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 due to lower volume and pricing. Transaction Days decreased 50% and Total RPD decreased 9%. Excluding a $6 million fx impact, revenues decreased $1.0 billion due to lower volume and pricing, primarily in Europe, across all leisure and business categories driven by the impact of COVID-19.

Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges for International RAC decreased $144 million in 2020 compared to 2019, where the fx impact was immaterial. Average Vehicles for International RAC decreased 36% due to downsizing the fleet as a result of COVID-19. Depreciation Per Unit Per Month for International RAC decreased to $197 from $202 for 2020 versus 2019.

DOE for International RAC decreased $482 million in 2020 compared to 2019. Excluding a $4 million fx impact, DOE decreased $486 million due primarily to lower volume driven by the impact from COVID-19 on total revenues described above and lower personnel costs due to employee furloughs and associated government support across Europe related to COVID-19.

SG&A for International RAC decreased $38 million in 2020 compared to 2019. Excluding a $9 million fx impact, SG&A decreased $47 million due primarily to lower marketing and facility costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements, both debt and equity, maintained by us in the U.S. and internationally.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2021, we had $2.3 billion of unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents and $393 million of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021, $489 million of unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents and $78 million of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents were held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. Beginning in the quarterly period ending March 31, 2020, we no longer assert permanent reinvestment with respect to our non-U.S. earnings, and if not in the form of loan repayments or subject to favorable tax treaties, repatriation of some of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations could expose us to additional cash taxes.

Voluntary Petitions for Bankruptcy and Emergence

On May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed Petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re The Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW). Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz, a website administered by Prime Clerk, a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on this website is not incorporated by reference and does not constitute part of this 2021 Annual Report.

As disclosed in Note 1, "Background," in Part II, Item 8 of this 2021 Annual Report, on May 14, 2021, the Debtors filed the Plan of Reorganization, and the solicitation version of the Supplement to the Disclosure Statement which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on May 14, 2021. On June 10, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On June 30, 2021, the Effective Date, the Plan of Reorganization became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.

On the Effective Date, as a result of the Plan of Reorganization, we received cash proceeds of $7.5 billion comprised of:
$2.8 billion from the purchase of reorganized Hertz Global common stock by the Plan Sponsors and certain other investment funds and entities;
$1.6 billion from the purchase of reorganized Hertz Global common stock pursuant to the 2021 Rights Offering;
$1.5 billion (less a 2% upfront discount and stock issuance fees) from the purchase of Series A Preferred Stock of reorganized Hertz Global by Apollo; and
$1.5 billion in proceeds from our Term Loans.

Such cash proceeds were used, in part, to provide payments to our stakeholders pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization as follows:
the holders of administrative, priority and secured claims received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the approximately $1.0 billion of obligations owed with respect to the DIP Credit Agreement received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the Senior Term Loan, Senior RCF and Letter of Credit Facility received payment in cash in full with respect to all non-contingent liquidated claims;
the holders of claims with respect to the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the €725 million European Vehicle Notes received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the €257 million Second HIL Credit Agreement received payment in cash in full;

the holders of claims with respect to the Senior Notes and the holders of claims with respect to the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility received payment in cash with respect to (i) all remaining principal, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest as of the Petition Date at the contract rate, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest from the Petition Date to the Effective Date at the federal judgment rate (at such rate in effect as of the Petition Date), subject to the rights of creditors (if any) to bring a claim for the payment of additional interest and/or premiums; and
the holders of general unsecured claims will receive payment in cash in full plus interest at the federal judgment rate (at such rate in effect as of the Petition Date), subject to the rights of creditors to bring a claim for payment of additional interest.

On the Effective Date, reorganized Hertz entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement that provides for an aggregate amount of $2.8 billion comprised of the First Lien RCF in an aggregate committed amount of $1.3 billion plus Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Additionally, reorganized Hertz entered into a new HVF III ABS facility in an aggregate of $6.8 billion comprised of variable funding notes with a principal amount up to $2.8 billion and medium term notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion.

On the Effective Date, substantially all then-existing non-vehicle debt and all then-existing ABS facilities under the HVF II U.S. ABS Program were repaid in full and terminated in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization. See Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report for additional information.

Public Warrants

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, we issued 89,049,029 Public Warrants. Between the Effective Date and December 31, 2021, 6,040,280 Public Warrants were exercised, of which 428,102 were cashless exercises and 5,612,178 were exercised for $13.80 per share, resulting in cash proceeds to us of $77 million. The outstanding warrants are exercisable through June 30, 2051. As of December 31, 2021, the exercise price remains $13.80.

See the subsequent sections under "Equity Financing" and "Debt Financing" for additional discussions about liquidity events that occurred on the Effective Date and thereafter.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Year ended December 31, 2021 compared with year ended December 31, 2020

In 2021, cash flows from operating activities increased by $850 million year over year due primarily to the $1.5 billion change in net income, as adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items, partially offset by the associated reduction of $607 million in working capital requirements. Cash flows from working capital accounts decreased due primarily to $485 million cash paid for reorganization items in 2021 compared to $102 million paid in 2020, and the payment of claims in the second half of 2021 that had been previously deferred and subject to compromise while in Chapter 11.

Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of revenue earning vehicles. During 2021, there was an $8.1 billion decrease in the cash provided by investing activities compared to 2020 due primarily to a $7.3 billion decrease in disposal proceeds in 2021 where disposals in 2020 increased due to the Interim Lease Order and the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand and a $1.6 billion increase in purchased vehicles due to increasing travel demand, primarily in our Americas RAC segment. The net decrease in cash provided was partially offset by $871 million net proceeds from the Donlen Sale.

Net financing cash inflows were $2.9 billion in 2021 compared to cash outflows of $5.4 billion in 2020. In 2021, cash inflows of $5.6 billion were due to contributions from Hertz Holdings from net proceeds received from the issuance of reorganized Hertz Global equity which were partially offset by $2.5 billion of cash dividends paid to Hertz Global to fund the Tender Offer and share repurchases. In 2020, cash outflows of $10.8 billion were due to the repayment of vehicle debt which were partially offset by reduced borrowings of $4.5 billion primarily resulting from the Chapter 11 Cases.

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared with year ended December 31, 2019

In 2020, cash flows from operating activities decreased by $2.0 billion year over year due primarily to the $1.8 billion change in net loss driven by the impact of COVID-19 discussed above, partially offset by the associated reduction of $331 million in working capital requirements.

Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of revenue earning vehicles. However, Hertz disposed of approximately 198,000 lease vehicles between June 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, pursuant to or otherwise in satisfaction of our vehicle disposition obligations under an order from the Bankruptcy Court (the "Interim Lease Order"). There was a $9.0 billion decrease in the use of cash for investing activities year over year. Cash outflows for revenue earning vehicles decreased $8.2 billion as we reduced our commitments to purchase vehicles, primarily in our Americas RAC segment, due to the impact from COVID-19 and a $612 million increase of cash proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles as we accelerated the disposition of vehicles due to the Interim Lease Order.

Net financing cash outflows were $5.4 billion in 2020 compared to cash inflows of $1.5 billion in 2019 primarily due to a $8.5 billion reduction in vehicle debt borrowings as we reduced our commitments to purchase vehicles, partially offset by a $1.7 billion reduction in non-vehicle repayments, net of new borrowings, primarily resulting from the Chapter 11 Cases.

Equity Financing

NYSE Delisting and Nasdaq Listing

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the NYSE suspended trading of Hertz Global common stock after the market close on October 29, 2020. On October 30, 2020, Hertz Global common stock began trading exclusively on the over-the-counter under the symbol HTZGQ, and was delisted from the NYSE on November 10, 2020. Upon deregistration of Hertz Global common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, Hertz Global common stock remained registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As discussed above, on the Effective Date, all of the Hertz Global common stock then existing was cancelled and Hertz Global issued 471,102,462 shares of its new common stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

On November 8, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global successfully completed its Nasdaq listing, in which shares of its new common stock were registered with the SEC for a public offering by certain selling stockholders. On November 9, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global's common stock and Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the trading symbols "HTZ" and "HTZWW," respectively.

In conjunction with the Nasdaq listing, certain selling stockholders offered and sold 44,520,000 shares of Hertz Global's common stock to the public. Of these shares, Hertz Global repurchased from the underwriters 10,344,828 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $300 million which is included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

Share Repurchase Program for Common Stock

In November 2021, Hertz Global's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion worth of shares of Hertz Global's outstanding common stock. Any repurchases will be made at the discretion of management through a variety of methods, such as open-market transactions (including pre-set trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The share repurchase authorization has no initial time limit, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases.

Between the inception of the share repurchase program and December 31, 2021, a total of 17,106,026 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased at an average share price of $23.83, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $408 million which is included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

Between January 1, 2022 and February 17, 2022, a total of 20,589,620 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased at an average share price of $20.95 resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $431 million.

Tender Offer for Repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock

In November 2021, Hertz Global commenced the Tender Offer to repurchase all 1,500,000 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a per-share price of $1,250. In December 2021, the Tender Offer expired and all 1,500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were repurchased at $1,250 per share for aggregate payments by Hertz Global of $1.9 billion, including approximately $7 million in certain fees. Hertz Global funded the share repurchases in the Tender Offer with available cash, including proceeds from Hertz's offering of the Senior Notes Due 2026 and Senior Notes Due 2029 which were contributed to Hertz Global through a dividend distribution from Hertz. The repurchased shares of Series A Preferred Stock were simultaneously retired. In connection with the Tender Offer, any unpaid dividends that the Preferred Stockholders were entitled to pursuant to the original Preferred Stock terms were forfeited upon acceptance of the Tender Offer.

Refer to Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global," and Note 18, "Public Warrants - Hertz Global," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for information on our equity financing arrangements.

Debt Financing

Refer to Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for information on our outstanding debt obligations and our borrowing capacity and availability under our revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2021.

Cash paid for interest during 2021 was $198 million for interest on non-vehicle debt and $257 million for interest on vehicle debt. Cash paid for interest during 2020 was $109 million for interest on non-vehicle debt and $335 million for interest on vehicle debt. The $89 million increase in non-vehicle debt interest is primarily due to suspending interest payments on certain debt due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.

A substantial portion of our liquidity requirements arise from servicing our indebtedness, funding our operations, including purchases of revenue earning vehicles, and funding non-vehicle capital expenditures. For a discussion of the risks associated with our high leverage, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this 2021 Annual Report.

We believe that unrestricted cash and unrestricted cash equivalents generated by our operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us in the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and obligations contained in the subsequent table under the heading Contractual Obligations in this Item 7.

Significant financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 for our non-vehicle and vehicle debt were as follows:

Non-vehicle Debt

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, substantially all then-existing non-vehicle debt was repaid in full and cancelled on the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, we entered into new credit agreements, as discussed below. As of December 31, 2021, none of our non-vehicle debt is set to mature prior to 2026.

First Lien Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on the Effective Date Hertz entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement that provides for the following:
a term loan "B" facility (the "Term B Loan") for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion;
a term loan "C" facility (the "Term C Loan") for term loans that are available to cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of $245 million; and
the First Lien RCF for revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion.

Proceeds received under the First Lien Credit Agreement were used to (i) repay certain of our existing indebtedness; (ii) pay fees, expenses and costs associated with the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization; (iii) fund distributions required in connection with the Plan of Reorganization; (iv) provide funds for working capital and general corporate purposes; and (v) backstop letters of credit issued under the Term C Loan or replace existing letters of credit.

2021 Senior Notes

In November 2021, Hertz issued $1.5 billion of unsecured senior notes consisting of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior notes due December 2026 (the "Senior Notes Due 2026") and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due December 2029 (the "Senior Notes Due 2029"). The Senior Notes Due 2026 and the Senior Notes Due 2029 are our senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by each of Hertz’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes Due 2026 and the Senior Notes Due 2029 were contributed to Hertz Global through a dividend distribution from Hertz to repurchase and retire all outstanding shares of Hertz Global's Series A Preferred Stock. See Note 6, "Debt," and Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Letters of Credit

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, drawn letters of credit under the Senior RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility were paid in full and terminated. To the extent any of the related issued letters of credit remained outstanding as of the Effective Date, certain of these letters of credit were deemed to be issued under the First Lien RCF. For the remainder, we provide cash collateral to backstop these obligations.

As of December 31, 2021, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $591 million comprised primarily of $245 million issued under the Term C Loan and $330 million were issued under the First Lien RCF. As of December 31, 2021, there is no remaining capacity to issue letters of credit under the Term C Loan. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to support our insurance programs, vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds as well as to provide credit enhancement for our asset-backed securitization facilities. As of December 31, 2021, none of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Vehicle Debt

We organize our discussion of significant vehicle debt financing facilities below by reportable segment.

Americas RAC

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the then-existing HVF II notes and HVIF notes were paid in full and terminated. Repayment proceeds originated from the new HVF III ABS Facility, as discussed below.

HVF III ABS Facility

On the Effective Date, Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC ("HVF III"), a wholly-owned, special-purpose and bankruptcy remote subsidiary of Hertz, established a securitization platform, the HVF III ABS facility program, to facilitate the financing activities relating to vehicles used in our U.S. daily vehicle rental operations. This facility provided an aggregate principal amount of $6.8 billion comprised of variable funding notes with a principal amount up to $2.8 billion and medium term notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion, as follows:
HVF III Series 2021-A Notes with a maximum principal amount of up to $2.8 billion and a maturity date of June 2023;
HVF III Series 2021-1 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion; and
HVF III Series 2021-2 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion.

On the Effective Date, proceeds received upon issuance from the HVF III Series 2021 Notes were used to fund the purchases of certain vehicles and for the repayment in full of (i) approximately $3.5 billion in aggregate outstanding principal of notes issued by HVF II and (ii) approximately $2.2 billion in aggregate outstanding principal of notes issued by HVIF. The manufacturer rebates associated with HVF and HVIF were transferred to HVF III as part of the purchase agreements with HVF and HVIF. Any remaining funds are expected to be used for the future purchase or refinancing of vehicles.

In December 2021, Hertz issued the Series 2021-A Class B Notes with a maximum principal amount of up to $188 million.

72

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
In January 2022, the Series 2022-1 Fixed Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes (the "Series 2022-1 Notes") and the Series 2022-2 Fixed Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes (the "Series 2022-2 Notes") were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, of which $195 million were retained, as follows:
HVF III Series 2022-1 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. An affiliate of HVF III purchased the Class D Notes, and as a result approximately $98 million of the aggregate principal amount is eliminated in consolidation.
HVF III Series 2022-2 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. An affiliate of HVF III purchased the Class D Notes, and as a result approximately $98 million of the aggregate principal amount is eliminated in consolidation.

Proceeds from the issuance of the Series 2022-1 Notes and the Series 2022-2 Notes will be used to repay amounts outstanding on the Series 2021-A Notes. Any remaining funds are expected to be used for the future purchase or refinancing of vehicles.

Approximately $190 million of the outstanding vehicle debt in our Americas RAC segment is scheduled to mature during the twelve months following the issuance of this 2021 Annual Report.

International RAC

In December 2021, the European ABS was amended to increase the aggregate maximum borrowings to €750 million and to extend the maturity to October 2023.

In January 2022, the Australian Securitization was amended to increase the aggregate maximum borrowings to AUD$250 million and to extend the maturity to April 2024.

Covenants

The First Lien Credit Agreement requires us to comply with the following financial covenant subsequent to the expiration of the Relief Period which expired effective as of September 30, 2021: a First Lien Ratio of less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 in the first and last quarters of the calendar year and 3.50 to 1.00 in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. The financial covenant disclosed above was effective beginning in the third quarter of 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the First Lien Ratio.

In addition to financial covenants, the First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants including, among other things, the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and compliance certificates, conduct of business, maintenance of property and insurance, compliance with environmental laws and the granting of security interest for the benefit of the secured parties under that agreement on after-acquired real property, fixtures and future subsidiaries. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including, among other things, the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions and restricted payments. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants in the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Vehicle Financing Risks

Our program vehicles are subject to repurchase by vehicle manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, vehicle manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during a specified time period, typically subject to certain vehicle condition and mileage requirements. We use values derived from this specified price or guaranteed depreciation rate to calculate financing capacity under certain asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements.

In the event of a bankruptcy of a vehicle manufacturer, our liquidity could be impacted by several factors including reductions in fleet residual values and the risk that we would be unable to collect outstanding receivables due to us from such bankrupt manufacturer. In addition, the program vehicles manufactured by any such company would

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
need to be removed from our financing facilities or re-designated as non-program vehicles, which would require us to furnish additional credit enhancement associated with these program vehicles.

We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase vehicles for our U.S. and international vehicle rental fleets. For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs and our indebtedness, see Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." For a discussion of the risks associated with our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing and the significant amount of indebtedness, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this 2021 Annual Report.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared with year ended December 31, 2020

In 2021, revenue earning vehicle cash flows decreased by $8.9 billion, primarily in our Americas RAC segment, as a result of reduced disposal proceeds in 2021 where disposals in 2020 increased due to the Interim Lease Order and the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand, partially offset by a slight increase in vehicle purchases due to increasing demand resulting from government-imposed travel restrictions that began to lift in 2021 due to increased access to COVID-19 vaccines.

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared with year ended December 31, 2019

In 2020, revenue earning vehicle cash flows increased by $8.8 billion, primarily in our Americas RAC segment, as we reduced our commitments to purchase vehicles due to the impact from COVID-19, partially offset by an increase of cash proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles as we accelerated the disposition of vehicles due to the Interim Lease Order and the impact of COVID-19 on travel demand.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared with year ended December 31, 2020

In 2021, net expenditures for non-vehicle capital assets increased by $17 million, driven primarily by our Americas RAC segment, resulting from the restart of location refurbishment projects put on hold during the Chapter 11 Cases, partially offset by a reduction in information technology and finance transformation program costs in our corporate operations.

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared with year ended December 31, 2019

In 2020, net expenditures for non-vehicle capital assets decreased by $76 million in our corporate operations primarily due to a reduction in information technology and finance transformation program costs.

Only the minimum non-cancelable portion of purchase agreements and related cancellation penalties are included as obligations. In the case of contracts that state minimum quantities of goods or services, amounts reflect only the stipulated minimums; all other contracts reflect estimated amounts. Purchase obligations include $26 million representing our tax liability for uncertain tax positions and related net accrued interest and penalties.

We have agreements with vehicle manufacturers to purchase vehicles over the next 12 months. We expect purchases under these agreements to be approximately $5.7 billion, which will be financed primarily through the issuance of vehicle debt. These purchases are subject to vehicle manufacturers satisfying their performance commitments under such agreements. Additionally, the table excludes pension and other postretirement benefit obligations as disclosed in Note 7, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.

Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements within accrued liabilities. Amounts accrued represent the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as
76

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
required. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Pension

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 7, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Previously we sponsored the Hertz Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan and the Hertz Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans which were rejected by the Bankruptcy Court and terminated in connection with the Plan of Reorganization.

Our 2021 worldwide net periodic pension expense included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 is $7 million, which was comparable to 2020.

The funded status (i.e., the dollar amount by which the projected benefit obligations exceeded the market value of pension plan assets) of the Hertz Retirement Plan, as defined in Note 7, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," improved in December 31, 2021 compared with December 31, 2020 primarily due to actuarial gains resulting from increased discount rates. We did not contribute to the Hertz Retirement Plan during 2021, and we do not anticipate contributing to the Hertz Retirement Plan during 2022. For the international plans, we anticipate contributing $2 million during 2022. The level of 2022 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

We participate in several "multiemployer" pension plans. We have accrued $20 million for benefit payments under our multiemployer pension plans which represents the net present value of the projected liabilities from withdrawal claims as of December 31, 2021. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, payable in installments over a minimum of twenty years, which would be reflected as a liability on a discounted basis on our consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. Our multiemployer plans could have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For a discussion of the risks associated with our pension plans, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors” in this 2021 Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

77

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application, and therefore, represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, as well as our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2021 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

The continued uncertainty of the impact from COVID-19 could have a material impact to certain critical accounting estimates, and as a result, may have an adverse impact on our future operating results.

Revenue Earning Vehicles

Our principal assets are revenue earning vehicles, which represented approximately 47% of our total assets as of December 31, 2021. Revenue earning vehicles consist of vehicles utilized in our vehicle rental operations. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 11% of the vehicles purchased for our combined U.S. and International vehicle rental fleets were vehicles purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs with vehicle manufacturers, or program vehicles.

Under our vehicle repurchase programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Vehicle repurchase programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the vehicles covered by the programs upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the vehicles. We record a provision for excess mileage and vehicle condition, as necessary, during the holding period. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under the programs and allow us to reduce the variability of depreciation expense for such vehicles, however, typically the acquisition cost is higher. Incentives received from the manufacturers for purchases of vehicles reduce the cost.

For all other vehicles, we use historical experience, industry residual value guidebooks and the monitoring of market conditions to set depreciation rates. Generally, when revenue earning vehicles are acquired outside of a vehicle repurchase program, (i.e., non-program vehicles) we estimate the period that we will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage) and the targeted age of vehicles at the time of disposal. We also estimate the residual value of the applicable revenue earning vehicles at the expected time of disposal. The residual values for rental vehicles are affected by many factors, including make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year and channel of disposition (e.g., auction, dealer direct, retail). Depreciation is recorded over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the expected time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Market conditions for used vehicle sales can also be affected by external factors such as the economy, natural disasters, fuel prices, new and used vehicle supply levels, and incentives offered by manufacturers of new vehicles. These key factors are considered when estimating future residual values. Depreciation rates are adjusted prospectively through the remaining expected holding period based on the estimated residual value. As a result of this ongoing assessment, we make periodic adjustments to depreciation rates of revenue earning vehicles in response to changing market conditions. Upon disposal of revenue earning vehicles, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges in the accompanying statements of operations is adjusted for any difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value and a corresponding gain or loss is recorded.

COVID-19 may continue to have a significant impact on the used-vehicle market, which may impact our current fleet and sales plans resulting in changes to the holding period of our vehicles as well as our ability to acquire and dispose of vehicles in the period originally anticipated. Changes in estimated residual values or holding periods could cause a material change in our estimates of non-program depreciation expense.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Self-insured Liabilities

Self-insured liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets include public liability, property damage, general liability, liability insurance supplement, personal accident insurance, and workers compensation. These represent an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

On an annual basis as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event as defined by Accounting Standards Codification 350 – Intangibles, Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), we test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis. An impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair value as determined using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The reviews of fair value involve judgment and estimates, including projected revenues, long-term growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. We believe our valuation techniques and assumptions are reasonable for this purpose.

For goodwill, we determine the fair value using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit when they have similar economic characteristics. We have two reporting units (operating segments): Americas Rental Car and International Rental Car. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections, tax rates and terminal value rates. Discount rates are set by using the Weighted-Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) methodology. The WACC used in the discounted cash flow model methodology is calculated based upon the fair value of our debt and stock price with a debt-to-equity ratio comparable to the vehicle rental car industry as well specific risk factors for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. Our cash flow projections represent management's most recent planning assumptions, which are based on a combination of industry outlooks, views on general economic conditions, our expected pricing plans and expected future savings. Terminal value rates are determined using a common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and long-term growth rates.

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of the Hertz and Dollar Thrifty tradenames. For tradenames, we determine the fair value using a relief-from-royalty income approach, which utilizes our revenue projections for each asset along with assumptions for royalty rates, tax rates and the WACC.

A significant decline in either projected revenues, projected cash flows or increased discount rates (the WACC) used to determine fair value could result in an impairment charge. Further deterioration in the global economic conditions in the travel industry and the Chip Shortage affecting new vehicle production, our cash flows and our ability to obtain future financing to maintain our fleet or the weighted average cost of capital assumptions may result in an impairment charge to earnings in future periods. We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus our expectations as well as any significant changes in market events or conditions, including the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the global travel industry, and the resulting impact to our assumptions about future estimated cash flows, and the weighted average cost of capital. If our expectations of the operating results, both in magnitude or timing, do not materialize, or if our weighted average cost of capital increases, we may be required to record goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges, which could be material.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Income Taxes

Our income tax expense or benefit, deferred tax assets and liabilities and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management's best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. Deferred tax asset valuation allowances and our liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits require significant management judgment regarding applicable statutes and their related interpretation, the status of various income tax audits and our particular facts and circumstances.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are estimated and recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of operations. In projecting future taxable income, we consider historical results and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. Our assumptions regarding future taxable income are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our underlying businesses. Subsequent changes to these estimates, enacted tax rates and changes to the global mix of operating results will result in changes to the tax rates used to calculate deferred taxes and any related valuation allowances. We record deferred tax assets for NOL carry forwards in various tax jurisdictions when applicable. Upon utilization of those carry forwards, the taxing authorities may examine the positions that led to the generation of those NOLs and determine that some of those losses are disallowed, which could result in additional income tax payable to us.

We evaluate our exposures associated with our various tax filing positions and recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of our position. For uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold, we record a related liability. We adjust our unrecognized tax benefit liability and income tax expense in the period in which the uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires for the relevant taxing authority to examine the tax position or when new information becomes available. There is a reasonable possibility that our unrecognized tax benefit liability as of December 31, 2021 will be adjusted within twelve months due to the expiration of a statute of limitations and/or resolution of examinations with taxing authorities.

Our income tax returns are periodically audited by domestic and foreign tax authorities. These audits include review of our tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions taken and the allocation of income between tax jurisdictions.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

RISK MANAGEMENT

For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see “Item 1—Business—Risk Management” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

MARKET RISKS

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.

As a result of our declining credit profile from the impact from COVID-19 beginning in 2020, we were not able to enter into certain derivative financial instruments or renew existing derivative financial instruments in order to mitigate market risks arising from the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates (including credit spreads). As a result of our emergence from Chapter 11, during the third quarter of 2021, we began to enter into certain new derivative financial instruments as described below.

Interest Rate Risk

We have a significant amount of indebtedness with a mix of fixed and variable rates of interest. Floating rate debt carries interest based generally on LIBOR, Euro inter-bank offer rate ("EURIBOR") or their equivalents for local currencies or bank conduit commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Increase in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt. See Note 6, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2021 Annual Report.

We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our operating results assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio and cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2021, our pre-tax operating results would decrease by an estimated $36 million over a twelve-month period.

From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and/or interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk and our mix of fixed and floating rate debt. As of December 31, 2021, we do not have material exposures resulting from interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements.

Consistent with terms of certain agreements governing respective debt obligations, we may be required to hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the various debt facilities to provide protection in respect of such exposure.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily with respect to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound. We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cross currency obligations, primarily intercompany loans. As a result of our emergence from Chapter 11, during the third quarter of 2021, we began to enter into foreign currency exchange rate derivative financial instruments, which are not material. Assuming a hypothetical change of one percentage point to the foreign currency exchange rates on our intercompany loan balance as of December 31, 2021, our pre-tax operating results would increase (decrease) by approximately $4 million. Additionally, each one percentage point change in foreign

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
currency movements is estimated to impact our Adjusted Corporate EBITDA by an estimated $3 million over a twelve-month period.

Fuel Risks

We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates. We are subject to price exposure related to the fluctuations in the price of fuel. We anticipate that fuel risk will remain a market risk for the foreseeable future. We have determined that a 10% hypothetical change in the price of fuel will not have a material impact on our operating results.

Inflation

The increased cost of vehicles and staffing costs are the primary inflationary factors affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs and gasoline. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in mezzanine equity and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 23, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Calculation of Non-Program Depreciation on Revenue Earning Vehicles in the Americas Rental Car (“RAC”) Segment
Description of the MatterFor the year ended December 31, 2021, total depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges in the Americas RAC segment was $343 million, including gains and losses on disposals. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management’s ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, the effect of these conditions on residual values at the expected time of disposal and the estimated holding period for the revenue earning vehicles. The Company’s fleet is comprised of vehicles that are subject to and are not subject to vehicle repurchase programs (“program vehicles” and “non-program vehicles,” respectively). For program vehicles, the manufacturers guarantee a specified price or depreciation rate upon disposal, versus non-program vehicles where the Company estimates the residual value of the vehicle at the expected time of disposal.
84

Table of Contents
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Auditing the Company’s calculation of depreciation for non-program vehicles related to the Americas RAC segment was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty and management judgment to determine the estimated residual values at the expected time of disposal. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to management’s assumptions of future consumer demand for vehicles within their current fleet, the disposal channel of those vehicles and other external market conditions. Additionally, auditing the calculation of depreciation was challenging due to the volume of data inputs utilized in management’s calculation, including historical sales data from multiple sources at varying levels of disaggregation along with additional data specific to the Company’s current fleet.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s measurement of depreciation expense for non-program vehicles related to the Americas RAC segment. For example, we tested controls over management’s quarterly review of the depreciation rates, which included their procedures to validate the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the calculation and their assessment of significant assumptions, specifically the estimated residual values of non-program vehicles related to the Americas RAC segment.

To test the depreciation calculation for non-program vehicles, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data by comparing historical sales data and vehicle information used in the calculation (e.g., make, model, trim) to external sources and the Company’s records. We tested the base depreciation rate calculations performed within the IT application and evaluated the reasonableness of other significant assumptions such as resale market conditions, including consumer demand for specific vehicles, and disposition channels to assess the reasonableness of the residual value estimates made by management. Additionally, we performed analytical procedures to evaluate historical gains and losses recognized upon disposal in order to retrospectively review the reasonableness of management’s estimates.
Valuation of Self-insured Liabilities
Description of the MatterAs disclosed in Notes 2 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is self-insured for public liability, property damage, general liability, liability insurance supplement and worker's compensation. The Company records liabilities for these matters based on actuarial analyses of historical claim activity and estimates of both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimated self-insured liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were $463 million. The actuarial analyses that determine the claims incurred but not yet reported portion of the liability balances considers a variety of factors, including the frequency and severity of losses, changes in claim reporting and resolution patterns, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment and legal precedent. The adequacy of the liabilities is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company’s estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liabilities are adjusted to reflect these results.

Auditing self-insured liabilities is complex and required the involvement of our actuarial specialists due to the significant valuation uncertainty associated with the estimate, management’s application of complex judgments and the use of actuarial methods. In addition, the self-insured liabilities estimates are sensitive to management’s assumptions, including claim frequency, actuarial evaluations of historical claim experience and future projections of ultimate losses used in the computation of self-insured liabilities.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s self-insured liabilities process. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the assumptions outlined above that are used in the self-insured liabilities calculation and the completeness and accuracy of the data underlying the self-insured liabilities.
85

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

To test the valuation of the self-insured liabilities, we performed audit procedures that included involving our internal actuarial specialists to assist us in developing an independent estimate of liability and evaluating the methods used by management and the reasonableness of assumptions used in their models (e.g., actuarial evaluations of historical claim experience and future projections of ultimate losses). We compared the Company's reserve to the estimate of liability developed by our actuarial specialists based on the underlying claims data and independently selected assumptions.
Valuation of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Tradename Assets in the International Rental Car (“RAC”) Segment
Description of the MatterAs disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets totaled $2.794 billion, with $600 million relating to indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment, as of December 31, 2021. As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event.

Auditing the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine its fair value as a result of the Company’s future projections, operating performance and the current industry and economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company’s estimate of fair value for the indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment required significant judgment to estimate the impact of changes in revenues and profitability, industry trends on future operating results and the future cash flows expected to be generated. In addition, the fair value estimate of these indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment was sensitive to significant assumptions such as projected revenues, royalty rates, terminal period revenue growth rates and the weighted average cost of capital. These significant assumptions are affected by expected future market or economic conditions, including the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the Chip Shortage as defined in the Company’s Form 10-K.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets impairment review processes. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the assumptions, including assumptions related to projected financial information, as outlined above that are used in the indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets impairment test.

To test the estimated fair value of the International RAC segment’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions and the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends, expected changes to the Company’s business model, the Company’s historical results and other relevant factors. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates, including projected financial information, and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the International RAC segment indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets that would result from hypothetical changes in the assumptions. We also involved valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the Company’s model, valuation methodologies, and certain significant assumptions, such as the royalty rates, the terminal period revenue growth rates and the weighted average cost of capital.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Valuation of Self-insured Liabilities
Description of the MatterAs disclosed in Notes 2 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is self-insured for public liability, property damage, general liability, liability insurance supplement and worker's compensation. The Company records liabilities for these matters based on actuarial analyses of historical claim activity and estimates of both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported.

To test the valuation of the self-insured liabilities, we performed audit procedures that included involving our internal actuarial specialists to assist us in developing an independent estimate of liability and evaluating the methods used by management and the reasonableness of assumptions used in their models (e.g., actuarial evaluations of historical claim experience and future projections of ultimate losses). We compared the Company's reserve to the estimate of liability developed by our actuarial specialists based on the underlying claims data and independently selected assumptions.
Valuation of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Tradename Assets in the International Rental Car (“RAC”) Segment
Description of the MatterAs disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets totaled $2.794 billion, with $600 million relating to indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment, as of December 31, 2021. As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event.

Auditing the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine its fair value as a result of the Company’s future projections, operating performance and the current industry and economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company’s estimate of fair value for the indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment required significant judgment to estimate the impact of changes in revenues and profitability, industry trends on future operating results and the future cash flows expected to be generated. In addition, the fair value estimate of these indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets in the International RAC segment was sensitive to significant assumptions such as projected revenues, royalty rates, terminal period revenue growth rates and the weighted average cost of capital. These significant assumptions are affected by expected future market or economic conditions, including the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the Chip Shortage as defined in the Company’s Form 10-K.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets impairment review processes. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the assumptions, including assumptions related to projected financial information, as outlined above that are used in the indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets impairment test.

To test the estimated fair value of the International RAC segment’s indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions and the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends, expected changes to the Company’s business model, the Company’s historical results and other relevant factors. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates, including projected financial information, and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the International RAC segment indefinite-lived intangible tradename assets that would result from hypothetical changes in the assumptions. We also involved valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the Company’s model, valuation methodologies, and certain significant assumptions, such as the royalty rates, the terminal period revenue growth rates and the weighted average cost of capital.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder and the Board of Directors of The Hertz Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited The Hertz Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, The Hertz Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 23, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Background

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918. Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-owned, licensee and franchisee locations in the U.S., Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. The Company also sells vehicles through Hertz Car Sales and operates the Firefly vehicle rental brand and Hertz 24/7 car sharing business in international markets. As disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," on March 30, 2021 the Company completed the Donlen Sale, a business which provided vehicle leasing and fleet management services.

Chapter 11 and Emergence

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In response to COVID-19, local and national governments around the world instituted shelter-in-place and similar orders and travel restrictions, and airline and other travel decreased suddenly and dramatically. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 and the associated government responses on travel demand, late in the first quarter of 2020, the Company experienced a high level of rental cancellations and a significant decline in forward bookings. In response, the Company began aggressive actions to eliminate costs. However, it faced significant ongoing expenses, including a large lease payment with respect to its vehicle fleet that increased as a result of COVID-19's impact on the car market.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re The Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 (MFW). While in Chapter 11, the Debtors operated as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In general, as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors were authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

On May 14, 2021, the Debtors filed the Plan of Reorganization, and the solicitation version of the Supplement to the Disclosure Statement which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on May 14, 2021. On June 10, 2021, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On the Effective Date, the Plan of Reorganization became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.

On the Effective Date, as a result of the Plan of Reorganization, the reorganized Company received cash proceeds of $7.5 billion comprised of:
$2.8 billion from the purchase of common stock in reorganized Hertz Global by the Plan Sponsors and certain other investment funds and entities;
$1.6 billion from the purchase of common stock in reorganized Hertz Global pursuant to the 2021 Rights Offering;
$1.5 billion (less a 2% upfront discount and stock issuance fees) from the purchase of preferred stock of reorganized Hertz Global by Apollo; and
$1.5 billion in proceeds from the Company's secured exit term loan facilities (the "Term Loans").

Such cash proceeds were used, in part, to provide payments to the Company's stakeholders pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization as follows:
the holders of administrative, priority and secured claims received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the approximately $1.0 billion of obligations owed with respect to the Company's DIP Credit Agreement received payment in cash in full;
105

Table of Contents
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
the holders of the Company's Senior Term Loan, Senior RCF and Letter of Credit Facility received payment in cash in full with respect to all non-contingent liquidated claims;
the holders of claims with respect to the Senior Second Priority Secured Notes received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the Company's €725 million European Vehicle Notes received payment in cash in full;
the holders of the €257 million term loan facility incurred by Hertz International Ltd. received payment in cash in full;
the holders of claims with respect to the unsecured Senior Notes and the holders of claims with respect to the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility received payment in cash with respect to (i) all remaining principal, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest as of the Petition Date at the contract rate, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest from the Petition Date to the Effective Date at the federal judgment rate (at such rate in effect as of the Petition Date), subject to the rights of creditors (if any) to bring a claim for the payment of additional interest and/or premiums, as further disclosed in Note 6, "Debt;" and
the holders of general unsecured claims will receive payment in cash in full plus interest at the federal judgment rate from the Petition Date to the date of payment (at such rate in effect as of the Petition Date), subject to the rights of creditors to bring a claim for payment of additional interest.

All of the Hertz Global equity interests existing as of the Effective Date were cancelled on such date in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization with existing equity holders receiving (i) cash in the amount of $1.53 per share of existing interests, (ii) their pro rata share of 3% of the common shares of reorganized Hertz Global, subject to dilution, and (iii) either Public Warrants, for in the aggregate of up to 18% of reorganized Hertz Global common stock issued and outstanding on the Effective Date, subject to dilution and certain conditions, or subscription rights to participate in the 2021 Rights Offering as disclosed below.

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, Hertz Global commenced a 2021 Rights Offering, under which eligible holders of Hertz Global's common stock and certain eligible holders of the Company's Senior Notes and lenders under the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility could purchase up to $1.6 billion of shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Pursuant to the EPCA, certain parties agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares in the 2021 Rights Offering (the "Backstop Parties"). The final expiration date for the 2021 Rights Offering occurred on June 15, 2021, with eligible holders subscribing to purchase 127,362,114 shares (approximately $1.3 billion), with the Backstop Parties to purchase the remaining 36,137,887 shares (approximately $361 million). Hertz Global closed the 2021 Rights Offering upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on the Effective Date. Pursuant to the terms of the EPCA, the Backstop Parties received a backstop fee equal in the amount of $164 million (payable in shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock valued at $10.00 per share). As a result of these transactions, on the Effective Date, Hertz Global issued 471,102,462 shares of common stock as follows:
14,133,024 shares to existing stockholders;
277,119,438 shares to Plan Sponsors pursuant to the EPCA;
127,362,114 shares to eligible participants pursuant to the Rights Offering; and
52,487,886 shares to the Backstop Parties pursuant to the EPCA.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company issued additional shares pursuant to the rounding provisions of the 2021 Rights Offering for cash proceeds of approximately $4 million at a purchase price of $10.00.

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, reorganized Hertz Global issued 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock to Apollo and received gross proceeds of $1.5 billion, less a 2% upfront discount and stock issuance fees. During the fourth quarter of 2021, all 1,500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were repurchased and retired by Hertz Global at $1,250 per share.

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, reorganized Hertz Global entered into a public warrant agreement (the "Public Warrant Agreement") and issued 89,049,029 Public Warrants, subject to certain conditions. The Public Warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance until June 30, 2051 at which time
106

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
all unexercised Public Warrants will expire and the rights of the holders of such expired Public Warrants will terminate. The Public Warrants had an initial exercise price of $13.80 and are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any payments of cash dividends, certain dilutive events, and recurring fair value adjustments (See Note 12, "Fair Value Measurements").

See Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global," and Note 18, "Public Warrants - Hertz Global," for additional information on the new equity and Public Warrants issued upon the Company's Chapter 11 emergence.

On the Effective Date, the reorganized Company entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of $2.8 billion comprised of senior secured term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion plus the First Lien RCF in an aggregate committed amount of $1.3 billion. Additionally, the reorganized Company entered into a new ABS facility program with an aggregate principal amount of $6.8 billion comprised of variable funding notes with a principal amount up to $2.8 billion and medium term notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion. On the Effective Date, substantially all existing non-vehicle debt and all existing ABS facilities under the HVF II U.S. ABS Program were repaid in full and terminated in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization. See Note 6, "Debt," for additional information.

NYSE Delisting and Nasdaq Listing

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the NYSE suspended trading of Hertz Global common stock after the market close on October 29, 2020. On October 30, 2020, Hertz Global common stock began trading exclusively on the OTC market under the symbol "HTZGQ," and was delisted from the NYSE on November 10, 2020. Upon deregistration of Hertz Global common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, Hertz Global common stock remained registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As discussed above, on the Effective Date, all of the Hertz Global common stock then existing was cancelled and Hertz Global issued 471,102,462 shares of its new common stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

On November 8, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global successfully completed its Nasdaq listing, in which shares of its new common stock were registered with the SEC for a public offering by certain selling stockholders. On November 9, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global's common stock and Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the trading symbols "HTZ" and "HTZWW," respectively. See Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global."

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Company’s Plan of Reorganization, among other factors. As a result of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, management believes there is no longer substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Principles

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Non-vehicle depreciation expense is now reported on a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global, its wholly-owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries, and its VIEs, as applicable. The consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz, its wholly-owned and majority-owned U.S. and international subsidiaries, and its VIEs, as applicable. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Standards Codification 852 - Reorganizations

Effective on the Petition Date, the Company applied accounting standards applicable to reorganizations, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 852 - Reorganizations ("Topic 852"), in preparing its consolidated financial statements, which required the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that were directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, Pre-petition obligations of the Debtors that were subject to the Chapter 11 Cases were classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. These liabilities were reported at the amounts the Company anticipated would be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they were subject to settlement at lesser amounts. See Note 20, "Liabilities Subject to Compromise," for additional information. In addition, certain charges related to the Chapter 11 Cases were recorded as reorganization items, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. See Note 21, "Reorganization Items, Net," for additional information.

Under Topic 852, companies must apply “fresh-start” accounting rules upon emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization if certain conditions are met. The Company did not qualify for "fresh-start" accounting under Topic 852 upon emergence from Chapter 11.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include depreciation of revenue earning vehicles, reserves for litigation and other contingencies, accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions, pension and postretirement benefit costs, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation, self-insured liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts, the retail value of loyalty points, and fair value of financial instruments, among others.

Revenue Earning Vehicles

Revenue earning vehicles are stated at cost, net of related discounts and incentives from manufacturers. Holding periods typically range from six to thirty-six months. Generally, when revenue earning vehicles are acquired outside of a vehicle repurchase program, the Company estimates the period that the Company will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage). The Company also estimates the residual value of the applicable revenue earning vehicles at the expected time of disposal, taking into consideration factors such as make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year, channel of disposition (e.g., auction, dealer direct, retail) and market conditions . Depreciation is recorded over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the expected time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Gains and losses on the sale of vehicles, including the costs
108

Table of Contents
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
associated with disposals, are included in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

For program vehicles, the manufacturers agree to repurchase program vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the program vehicle upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the vehicles. The Company records a provision in accumulated depreciation for excess mileage and vehicle condition, as necessary, during the holding period.

Donlen's revenue earning vehicles were leased under long term agreements with its customers. These leases contained provisions whereby Donlen had a contracted residual value guaranteed by the lessee, such that it did not bear the risk of any gains or losses on the disposal of these vehicles. Donlen accounted for its lease contracts using the appropriate lease classifications. The Donlen business was sold on March 30, 2021, as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures."

The Company continually evaluates revenue earning vehicles to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the residual value or holding period.

Self-insured Liabilities

Self-insured liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include public liability, property damage, general liability, liability insurance supplement, personal accident insurance, and worker's compensation. These represent an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis on an annual basis, as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event.

A goodwill impairment charge is calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. For goodwill, fair value is determined using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit when they have similar economic characteristics. In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with the Chapter 11 Emergence as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," and changes in how the Company's CODM regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, the Company revised its reportable segments to include Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean in its Americas RAC reportable segment, which were previously included in its International RAC reportable segment. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised presentation. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by its operating segments and the geographic areas in which its operating segments conduct business: Americas RAC and International RAC. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit and incorporate various assumptions related to discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections, tax rates and terminal value rates specific to the reporting unit to which they are applied. Discount rates are set by using the
109

Table of Contents
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
WACC methodology. The Company’s discounted cash flows are based upon reasonable and appropriate assumptions about the underlying business activities of the Company’s reporting units.

In the impairment analysis for an indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value and recognizes an impairment charge whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value for a tradename utilizes a relief-from-royalty income approach, which includes the Company’s revenue projections for each asset, along with assumptions for royalty rates, tax rates and WACC.

Income Taxes

The Company recognized the effects of the TCJA enacted on December 22, 2017, which created the global intangible low-tax income ("GILTI") provision that imposes U.S. tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are subject to foreign tax below a certain threshold. GILTI taxes are recorded in current income tax expense as incurred. In 2018 and 2019, the Company asserted indefinite reinvestment on certain of its foreign earnings. Effective as of December 31, 2020, the Company no longer asserts permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings, due to the impact from COVID-19, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background."

Valuation Allowances

The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred in these jurisdictions. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes the evaluation of historical cumulative earnings and losses in recent years, future reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the availability of carry forwards and the remaining period of the respective carry forward, future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), and any applicable tax-planning strategies that are available.

If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The calculation of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities includes uncertainties in the application of, and changes in, complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations. The Company recognizes tax benefits and liabilities based on its estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company adjusts these benefits and liabilities based on changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of these uncertainties and the impact of tax audits, the ultimate resolutions may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates.

Revenue Recognition

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that replaced the existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP and in 2018 and 2019 issued amendments and updates to the new lease standard (collectively "Topic 842"). Upon adoption of Topic 842, on January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for revenue earned from vehicle rentals and rental related activities wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset under Topic 842, as further updated in 2021.

The Company recognizes two types of revenue: (i) lease revenue; and (ii) revenue from contracts with customers.

The Company reports revenues for taxes or non-concession fees collected from customers on behalf of governmental authorities on a net basis.

Vehicle Rental and Rental Related Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue from its vehicle rental operations when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the performance obligations have been satisfied, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Performance obligations associated with vehicle rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period, except for the portion associated with loyalty points, as further described below. Rental periods are short term in nature. Performance obligations associated with rental related activities, such as charges to the customer for the fueling of vehicles and value-added services such as loss damage waivers, insurance products, navigation units, supplemental equipment and other consumables, are also satisfied over the rental period. Revenue from charges that are charged to the customer, such as gasoline, vehicle licensing and airport concession fees, is recorded on a gross basis with a corresponding charge to direct vehicle and operating expense. Sales commissions paid to third parties are generally expensed when incurred due to the short-term nature of the related transaction on which the commission was earned and are recorded within selling, general and administrative expense. Payments are due from customers at the completion of the rental, except for customers with negotiated payment terms, generally net 30 days or less, which are invoiced and remain as accounts receivable until collected.

Loyalty Programs - The Company offers loyalty programs, primarily Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, wherein customers are eligible to earn loyalty points that are redeemable for free rental days or can be converted to loyalty points for redemption of products and services under loyalty programs of other companies. Upon adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), each transaction that generates loyalty points results in the deferral of revenue equivalent to the retail value at the date the points are earned. The associated revenue is recognized when the customer redeems the loyalty points at some point in the future. The retail value of loyalty points is estimated based on the current retail value measured as of the date the loyalty points are earned, less an estimated amount representing loyalty points that are not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”). Breakage is reviewed on a quarterly basis and includes significant assumptions such as historical breakage trends and internal Company forecasts.

Customer Rebates - The Company has business customers that rent vehicles based on terms that have been negotiated through contracts with their employers, or other entities with which they are associated (“commercial contracts”), which can differ substantially from the terms on which the Company rents vehicles to the general public. Some of the commercial contracts contain provisions which allow for rebates to the entity based on achieving a specific rental volume threshold. Rebates are treated as lease incentives and are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time of the rental based on the rebate expected to be earned by the entity.

Licensee Revenue

The Company has franchise agreements which allow an independent entity to rent their vehicles under the Company’s brands, primarily Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty, for a franchise fee. Franchise fees are earned over time for the duration of the franchise agreement and are typically based on the larger of a minimum payment or an amount

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
representing a percentage of net sales of the franchised business. Franchise fees that relate to a future contract term, such as initial fees or renewal fees, are deferred and recognized over the term of the franchise agreement.

Ancillary Retail Vehicle Sales Revenue

Ancillary retail vehicle sales represent revenues generated from the sale of warranty contracts, financing and title fees, and other ancillary services associated with vehicles disposed of at the Company’s retail outlets. These revenues are recorded at the point in time when the Company sells the product or provides the service to the customer. These revenues exclude the sale price of the vehicle which is a component of the gain or loss on the disposition and is included in depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Fleet Leasing and Fleet Management Revenue

The Company's Donlen subsidiary, which sold substantially all of its assets and certain liabilities on March 30, 2021, generated revenue from various fleet leasing and fleet management services. Donlen’s operating leases for fleets had lease periods that were typically for twelve months, after which the lease converted to a month-to-month lease, allowing the vehicle to be surrendered any time thereafter. The Company's fleet leases contained a terminal rental adjustment clause ("TRAC") where, upon sale of the vehicle following the termination of the lease, a TRAC adjustment may result through which the lessee was credited or charged with the gain or loss on the vehicle's disposal. Such TRAC adjustments were considered variable charges. Fleet management services were comprised of fuel purchasing and management, preventive vehicle maintenance, repair consultation, toll management and accident management. Fleet management revenue was recognized net of any fees collected from customers on behalf of third-party service providers, as services were rendered.

Contract Balances

The Company recognizes receivables and liabilities resulting from its contracts with customers. Contract receivables primarily consist of receivables from customers for vehicle rentals. Contract liabilities primarily consist of obligations to customers for prepaid vehicle rentals and related to the Company’s points-based loyalty programs.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in various investment grade institutional money market funds, and bank money market and interest-bearing accounts.

Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for use in the Company's operating activities. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are primarily comprised of proceeds from the disposition of vehicles pledged under the terms of vehicle debt financing arrangements and are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the vehicle debt facilities, cash utilized as credit enhancement under those arrangements, proceeds from the Term Loan C which are utilized to collateralize letters of credit, and certain cash accounts supporting regulatory reserve requirements related to the Company's self-insurance. These funds are primarily held in demand deposit and money market accounts or in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations.

Deposits held at financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company limits exposure relating to financial instruments by diversifying the financial instruments among various counterparties, which consist of major financial institutions.

Receivables, Net of Allowance

Receivables are stated net of allowances and primarily represent credit extended to vehicle manufacturers, customers that satisfy defined credit criteria, and amounts due from customers resulting from damage to rental vehicles. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's future expected losses and its judgement as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Actual receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines the balance will not be collected. Estimates for future credit memos are based on historical experience and are reflected as reductions to revenue, while bad debt expense is reflected as a component of direct vehicle and operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Property and Equipment, Net

The Company's property and equipment, net consisted of the following:
(In millions)December 31, 2021December 31, 2020
Land, buildings and leasehold improvements$971 $1,277 
Service vehicles, equipment and furniture and fixtures339 761 
Less: accumulated depreciation(702)(1,372)
Total property and equipment, net$608 $666 

Land is stated at cost and reviewed annually for impairment as further disclosed above in "Long-lived Assets, Including Finite-lived Intangible Assets."

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
1 to 50 years
Furniture and fixtures
1 to 5 years
Service vehicles and equipment
1 to 25 years
Leasehold improvementsThe lesser of the economic life or the lease term

Depreciation expense for property and equipment, net for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $108 million, $129 million and $122 million, respectively.

The Company follows the practice of charging maintenance and repair costs for service vehicles, furniture and fixtures, and equipment, including the cost of minor replacements, to maintenance expense.

Long-lived Assets, Including Finite-lived Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets include concession agreements, technology, customer relationships and other intangibles. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives, including technology-related intangibles, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from one to fifty years and two to twenty years, respectively. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company has estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate.

The Company accounts for restricted stock unit ("RSU") and performance stock unit ("PSU") awards when granted as equity classified awards. For RSUs the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock and the number of shares that vest, recognized over the service period. For any PSUs and performance share awards ("PSAs") granted, the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock, recognized over a service period depending upon the applicable performance condition. For any PSUs and PSAs, the Company re-assesses the probability of achieving the applicable performance condition quarterly and adjusts the recognition of expense accordingly. The Company includes the excess tax benefit within income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations when realized.

Fair Value Measurements

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the "exit price"). Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including consideration of nonperformance risk.

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy promulgated under U.S. GAAP. This hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date and include management's judgment about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, gasoline and diesel fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages exposure to these market risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the Company's exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. The Company measures all financial instruments at their fair value and does not offset the derivative assets and liabilities in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As the Company does not have financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in the Company's operating results.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates throughout the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in other (income) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Advertising

Advertising production costs are deferred and expensed when the advertising first takes place. Advertising communication costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $162 million, $112 million and $318 million, respectively.

Divestitures

The Company classifies long-lived assets and liabilities to be disposed of as held for sale in the period in which they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. The Company initially measures assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and assesses their fair value quarterly until disposed. When the divestiture represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the disposal is presented as a discontinued operation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Scope of Reference Rate Reform

In January 2021, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies that entities with derivative instruments affected by changes to the interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment due to reference rate reform may elect to apply certain optional expedients and exceptions, including contract modification relief, provided in Topic 848. Entities may elect to apply the guidance on contract modifications either (1) retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of any interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or (2) prospectively to new modifications from any date in an interim period that includes or is after January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. The Company will apply the guidance prospectively, as applicable, and does not expect a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Donlen Sale

In November 2020, the Company entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement with Freedom Acquirer LLC (the "Buyer"), an affiliate of Athene Holding Ltd., to sell substantially all of the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary Donlen. On March 30, 2021, the Company completed the sale. The proceeds from the sale were subject to certain post-closing adjustments in the second quarter of 2021 based on the level of assumed indebtedness, working capital and fleet equity. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain in its corporate operations of $400 million, net of the impact of foreign currency adjustments, based on the difference in cash proceeds received of $891 million less $543 million net book value of assets sold plus a $53 million receivable in connection with the sale where cash proceeds were received in September 2021. On March 30, 2021, the Company and the Buyer entered into a transition services agreement which provides for certain transitional services in connection with the sale.

Termination of 767 Auto Leasing Agreement

In January 2018, Hertz entered into a Master Motor Vehicle Lease and Management Agreement (the “767 Lease Agreement”) pursuant to which Hertz granted 767 Auto Leasing LLC (“767”) the option to acquire certain vehicles from Hertz at rates aligned with the rates at which Hertz sold vehicles to third parties where 767’s payment obligations were guaranteed by American Entertainment Properties Corp. ("AEPC"). The 767 Lease Agreement was terminated effective October 31, 2021.

Prior to the termination of the 767 Lease Agreement, the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of 767 due to its power to direct the activities of 767 that most significantly impacted 767's economic performance and the Company's obligation to absorb 25% of 767's gains/losses and, accordingly, 767 was consolidated by the Company as a VIE.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, 767 distributed $38 million to AEPC along with the return of certain vehicles, and there were no cash contributions from AEPC to 767. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 767 distributed $75 million to AEPC and there were no cash contributions from AEPC to 767, except for certain services.

Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

On an annual basis as of October 1, and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event as defined by ASC 350 - Intangibles, Goodwill and Other ("Topic 350"), the Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis. An impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair value as determined using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The reviews of fair value involve judgment and estimates, including projected revenues, long-term growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. The Company believes that its valuation techniques and assumptions are reasonable for this purpose.

The Company performed the goodwill impairment analyses using the income approach, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. In performing the impairment analyses, the weighted-average cost of capital used in the discounted cash flow model was calculated based upon the fair value of the Company's debt and stock price with a debt-to-equity ratio comparable to the vehicle rental car industry. This present value model requires management to estimate future cash flows and forecasted EBITDA margins and capital investments of each reporting unit. The Company revised its reportable segments in Q2 2021, as disclosed in Note 19, "Segment Information," and the change in reporting units had no impact to the valuation of the Company's goodwill. The assumptions the Company used to estimate future cash flows and EBITDA margins are consistent with the assumptions that the reporting units use for internal planning purposes, which the Company believes would be generally consistent with that of a market participant. The discount rate used for each reporting unit ranged from 13.0% to 13.5%. Each of the Company's reporting units had a fair value that exceeded its respective carrying value, the lowest of which was greater than 25%.

The Company performed the intangible impairment analyses for indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty income approach, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. The Company considered consistent factors as described above related to goodwill in addition to royalty rates. The

assumptions the Company uses to estimate royalty rates are consistent with the assumptions that the reporting units use for internal planning purposes, which the Company believes would be generally consistent with that of a market participant. The discount rate used for each indefinite-lived intangible ranged from 13.0% to 13.5%. All indefinite-lived intangibles were noted to have fair values that exceeded their carrying values, the lowest of which was greater than 25%.

Technology-related Intangible and Other Assets

Due to uncertainty surrounding the Company's financial ability to complete certain information technology projects as a result of COVID-19 and the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company concluded in the second quarter of 2020 that there was an impairment of such technology-related intangible assets and capitalized cloud computing implementation costs. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $193 million in its corporate operations, representing an impairment of the carrying value of the abandoned portion of such assets as of June 30, 2020 of $124 million and $69 million of technology-related intangible assets and other assets, respectively.

Chapter 11 and Emergence

As a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company reclassified certain of its non-vehicle debt instruments, net of deferred financing costs, discounts and premiums, as applicable, to liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated the Debtors’ obligations under the Senior Term Loan, the Senior RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility. Additionally, the filing triggered defaults, termination events and/or amortization events under certain obligations of (i) Hertz International Limited ("HIL"), Hertz Netherlands and the direct and indirect subsidiary companies located outside of the U.S. and Canada (collectively the "International Subsidiaries"), some of which were waived or amended subject to certain time limitations, and (ii) HVF, HVF II, and certain other vehicle financing subsidiaries (collectively the "Non-Debtor Financing Subsidiaries").

As disclosed in Note 1, "Background," on May 14, 2021, the Debtors filed the Plan of Reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court, which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on June 10, 2021. On the Effective Date, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background" and, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, substantially all existing non-vehicle debt and all existing ABS facilities under the HVF II U.S. ABS Program and the HVIF U.S. ABS Program were repaid in full and cancelled, as further disclosed below. Upon the Debtor's emergence from Chapter 11 and the associated debt payoffs, any events of default, termination and/or amortization events ceased to exist.

First Lien Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on the Effective Date, Hertz entered into a credit agreement (the "First Lien Credit Agreement") that provides for the following:
Term B Loan for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion;
Term C Loan for term loans that are available to cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of $245 million; and
the First Lien RCF for revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion.

Proceeds received on the Effective Date, as a result of the Plan of Reorganization, under the First Lien Credit Agreement were used to (i) repay certain existing indebtedness of the Debtors; (ii) pay fees, expenses and costs associated with the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization; (iii) fund distributions required in connection with the Plan of Reorganization; (iv) provide funds for working capital and general corporate purposes; and (v) backstop or replace existing letters of credit.

Term B Loan and Term C Loan (collectively, the "Term Loans"): The Term Loans bear interest based on an alternate base rate as per the First Lien Credit Agreement or adjusted LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin of (i) 2.25% in the case of the alternate base rate, or (ii) 3.25% in the case of the adjusted LIBOR. In each case, the margin may change depending on Hertz's consolidated total corporate leverage ratio, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Total Corporate Leverage Ratio"). The Term Loans include provisions for a transition to an alternative benchmark index other than LIBOR. The First Lien Credit Agreement requires the Term B Loan to be repaid in quarterly installments of $3.3 million per quarter beginning on September 30, 2021 until maturity. The Term Loans mature on June 30, 2028.

First Lien RCF: The First Lien RCF bears interest, at a benchmark rate plus spread. Loans under the facility are available in various currencies including USD, Eurodollar, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and Sterling. Benchmark rates for the relevant currencies include, the relevant LIBOR rate, the Prime rate, the Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid Rate for Australian dollars, Canadian prime rate, an adjusted Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") or the Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"). ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as defined under the First Lien Credit Agreement, bear interest at the relevant benchmark rate plus an initial applicable margin of 2.50%. The First Lien RCF includes provisions for a transition to an alternative benchmark index other than LIBOR. The margin for Euro currency Loans (including USD loans), SONIA loans and Canadian dollar BA Equivalent Loans, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, is dependent upon the Company's Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio, as defined under the First Lien Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, that margin was 3.00%. In each case, the margin may change depending on Hertz’s Total Corporate Leverage Ratio. The First Lien RCF matures on June 30, 2026.

2021 Senior Notes

In November 2021, Hertz issued $1.5 billion of unsecured senior notes consisting of $500 million Senior Notes Due 2026 and $1.0 billion Senior Notes Due 2029. The Senior Notes Due 2026 and the Senior Notes Due 2029 are Hertz's senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by each of Hertz’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes Due 2026 and the Senior Notes Due 2029 were contributed to Hertz Global through a dividend distribution from Hertz to repurchase all outstanding shares of Hertz Global's Series A Preferred Stock.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's revolving credit facilities, which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow based revolving credit facilities, asset-based revolving credit facilities and the First Lien RCF. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.

The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility and, in the case of the First Lien RCF, less any issued standby letters of credit. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time).

The following facilities were available to the Company as of December 31, 2021 and are presented net of any outstanding letters of credit:

Letters of Credit

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, drawn letters of credit under the Senior RCF, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility were paid in full and terminated. To the extent any of the related issued letters of credit remained outstanding as of the Effective Date, certain of these letters of credit were deemed to be issued under the First Lien RCF. For the remainder, the Company provided cash collateral to backstop these obligations.

As of December 31, 2021, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $591 million comprised primarily of $245 million issued under the Term C Loan and $330 million were issued under the First Lien RCF. As of December 31, 2021, there remains no capacity to issue additional letters of credit under the Term C Loan. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to support the Company's insurance programs, vehicle rental

concessions and leaseholds as well as to provide credit enhancement for its asset-backed securitization facilities. As of December 31, 2021, none of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Pledges Related to Vehicle Financing

Substantially all of the Company's revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings or asset-backed securities programs. None of the value of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC and various other domestic and international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) will be available to satisfy the claims of unsecured creditors unless the secured creditors are paid in full.

The Company has a 25% ownership interest in IFF No. 2, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. IFF No. 2 is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, therefore, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of IFF No. 2 are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, IFF No. 2 had total assets of $734 million and $464 million, respectively, comprised primarily of loans receivable, and total liabilities of $733 million and $464 million, respectively, comprised primarily of debt.

Covenant Compliance

The First Lien Credit Agreement requires Hertz to comply with the following financial covenant subsequent to the expiration of the Relief Period which expired effective as of September 30, 2021: a First Lien Ratio of less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 in the first and last quarters of the calendar year and 3.50 to 1.00 in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. The financial covenant disclosed above was effective beginning in the third quarter of 2021. As of December 31, 2021, Hertz was in compliance with the First Lien Ratio.

In addition to financial covenants, the First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants including, among other things, the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and compliance certificates, conduct of business, maintenance of property and insurance, compliance with environmental laws and the granting of security interest for the benefit of the secured parties under that agreement on after-acquired real property, fixtures and future subsidiaries. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including, among other things, the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions and restricted payments. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Accrued Interest

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, accrued interest was $12 million and $136 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There was $70 million of accrued interest included in liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 related to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases as disclosed above.

Restricted Net Assets

As a result of the contractual restrictions on Hertz and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends (directly or indirectly) under various terms of its debt, as of December 31, 2021, the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of Hertz and Hertz Global exceed 25% of their total consolidated net assets, respectively.

Note 7—Employee Retirement Benefits

The Company sponsors multiple domestic and international employee retirement benefit plans where benefits are based upon years of service and compensation. The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Hertz Retirement Plan”) is a U.S. cash balance plan, which was amended in 2014 to permanently

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
discontinue future benefit accruals and participation under the plan for non-union employees. The majority of union employees have since discontinued participation in the Hertz Retirement Plan as the result of collective bargaining. Some of the Company’s international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans or participate in various insured or multiemployer plans. In certain countries, when the subsidiaries make the required funding payments, they have no further obligations under such plans. The Company's benefit plans are generally funded, except for certain non-qualified U.S. defined benefit plans and in Germany, France and Italy, where unfunded liabilities are recorded. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans for certain eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees, where contributions are matched based on specific guidelines in the plans. Accordingly, the Company sponsors postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990.

Management makes certain assumptions relating to discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors when determining amounts to be recognized. These assumptions are reviewed annually by management, assisted by the enrolled actuary, and updated as warranted. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of the plans and utilizes fair value to calculate the market-related value of pension assets for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets and accounting for asset gains and losses.

Actual results that differ from the Company's assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect the Company's pension costs and obligations. The Company recognizes an asset for each over-funded plan and a liability for each underfunded plan in the consolidated balance sheets. Pension plan liabilities are revalued annually based on updated assumptions and information about the individuals covered by the plan. For pension plans, if accumulated actuarial gains and losses are in excess of a 10 percent corridor, the excess is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Prior service cost is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date recognized over the average remaining service period of active participants, when applicable.

Additionally, the Company previously sponsored the Hertz Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan ("BEP") and the Hertz Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (together with the BEP, the "Supplemental Plans"). The Supplemental Plans were rejected in the Company's Chapter 11 Cases and terminated in connection with the Plan of Reorganization. As a result, participants in the Supplemental Plans were no longer entitled to benefit payments and were considered general creditors of the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company classified $24 million of its U.S. pension benefit obligation as liabilities subject to compromise in its accompanying consolidated balance sheet which were paid through the claim settlement process in 2021.

As such, the Company classified $24 million of its U.S. pension benefit obligation as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

In 2021, discount rates increased, resulting in actuarial gains for the U.S. and Non-U.S. pension and postretirement plans. In addition, the Non-U.S. pension plans were revalued on new census data in 2021 resulting in an additional gain, which was mostly offset by a loss from an increase in the inflation assumption.

In 2020, discount rates decreased, resulting in actuarial losses for the U.S. and Non-U.S. pension and postretirement plans. In addition, an increase in the inflation assumption in 2020 resulted in an actuarial loss in the Non-U.S. pension plan.

As such, the Company classified $24 million of its U.S. pension benefit obligation as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

The discount rate used to determine the December 31, 2021 and 2020 benefit obligations for U.S. pension plans was based on the rate from the Mercer Pension Discount Curve-Above Mean Yield that is appropriate for the duration of the Company's plan liabilities. For its plans outside the U.S., the discount rate reflected the market rates for an optimized subset of high-quality corporate bonds currently available with the discount rate in a country determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in that country. The rate selected from the yield curve has a duration that matches its plan.

The expected return on plan assets for each funded plan is based on expected future investment returns considering the target investment mix of plan assets.

Plan Assets

The Company has a long-term investment outlook for the assets held in the Company sponsored plans, which is consistent with the long-term nature of each plan's respective liabilities. The Company has two major plans which reside in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

The U.S. Plan

The U.S. Plan (the “Plan”) has a target asset allocation mix of 70% in investments intended to hedge the impact of capital market movements ("Immunizing Portfolio Investments"), comprised primarily of fixed income securities, and 30% in investments intended to earn more than the pension liability growth over the long-term ("Growth Portfolio Investments"). The Growth Portfolio Investments are primarily invested in passively managed equity funds, international and emerging market funds that are actively managed and non-investment grade fixed income funds. The overall strategy and the Immunizing Portfolio Investments are managed by professional investment managers. The investments within these asset classes are diversified in order to minimize the risk of large losses. The Plan assumes a 4.5% expected long-term annual weighted-average rate of return on assets.

The fair value measurements of the Company's U.S. pension plan assets are based upon inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable (Level 1) and significant observable inputs (Level 2) that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. The fair value measurements of the U.S. pension plan assets relate to common collective trusts and other pooled investment vehicles consisting of the following asset categories:

The U.K. Plan

The Company's United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan (the "U.K. Plan") has a target allocation of 30% actively managed diversified growth and multi-asset credit funds, 10% passive equity funds and 60% protection portfolio that consists of liability driven investments, Sterling liquidity fund and United Kingdom corporate bonds. The actively managed diversified growth and multi-asset credit funds are intended to deliver a long-term equity-like return but with reduced levels of volatility. The protection portfolio is designed to partially hedge the interest rate and inflation expectation exposure of the liabilities which are measured on a local regulatory basis. The amount that is required to be invested in each fund to maintain target hedge ratios will vary over time as the

value of the liabilities change and the allocations within the protection portfolio will be allowed to vary accordingly. All of the invested assets of the U.K. Plan are held via pooled funds managed by professional investment managers. The U.K. Plan assumes a 3.0% expected long-term weighted-average rate of return on assets for the Plan in total.

The Company's U.K. Plan comprises $248 million of the $255 million in fair value of Non-U.S. plan assets as of December 31, 2021 and comprises $251 million of the $258 million in fair value of Non-U.S. plan assets as of December 31, 2020.

Contributions

The Company's policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time, the Company makes contributions beyond those legally required. In 2021 and 2020, the Company did not make any cash contributions to its U.S. qualified pension plan.

In 2021 and 2020, the Company made contributions to its U.S. non-qualified pension plans of $24 million and $2 million, respectively. The Company made discretionary contributions of $3 million to its U.K. Plan during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company does not anticipate contributing to the U.S. qualified pension plan during 2022. The Company does not anticipate contributing any significant amounts to the U.K. Plan and anticipates contributing $2 million to its other international plans during 2022. The level of 2022 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

The Company contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements that cover certain of its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in such plans are different from the risks of a single-employer plan, in the following respects:
a)    Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

b)    If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

c)    If the Company ceases to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which the Company had been a contributing employer, the Company may be required to pay to the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan and on the history of its participation in the plan prior to the cessation of its obligation to contribute. The amount that an employer that has ceased to have an obligation to contribute to a multiemployer plan is required to pay to the plan is referred to as a withdrawal liability.

Amounts accrued for benefit payments under the Company's multiemployer pension plans of $20 million represent the net present value of the projected liabilities from withdrawal claims as of December 31, 2021. The Company's participation in multiemployer plans is outlined in the table below.

Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation

The stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Holdings stock-based compensation plans is pushed down from Hertz Global and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan

During the fourth quarter of 2021, Hertz Global's Board approved the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Omnibus Plan"). The 2021 Omnibus Plan is intended to satisfy the requirement as provided in the Plan of Reorganization to adopt a new management incentive equity plan. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the Company is initially authorized to issue up to 62,250,055 shares of its common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. In addition, beginning on June 30, 2022, and ending on June 20, 2031 (an “Evergreen Date”), the total authorized shares under the 2021 Omnibus Plan will automatically increase by a number of shares equal to 2% of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the June 29th immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's Board may act prior to the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no automatic increase for such year, or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares. As of December 31, 2021, 56,840,434 shares of the Company's common stock are authorized and remain available for future grants under the 2021 Omnibus Plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, compensation expense of $7 million and a related income tax benefit of $2 million was recognized for grants made under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. As of December 31, 2021, there was $105 million of total unrecognized compensation cost expected to be recognized over the remaining 2.8 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

The 2021 Omnibus Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), performance stock, PSUs, performance units ("PUs"), restricted stock, RSUs, share awards and deferred stock units to eligible recipients. Under the 2021 Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") has the authority to determine the eligible recipients to whom awards may be granted, the types of awards and their terms or conditions.

Stock Options and SARs

The 2021 Omnibus Plan provides that stock option grants may be either incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, however, the Company may not grant incentive stock options until such time as the plan has been approved by the Company's stockholders. Except in the case of replacement awards, stock options will have an exercise price per share that is no less than fair market value of the Company's common stock on the stock option grant date.

SARs may be granted to participants in tandem with stock options or on their own. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee at or after the grant date, tandem SARs will have substantially similar terms as the stock options with which they are granted. Generally, each SAR will entitle the participant upon exercise to an amount (in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee) equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of common stock, over (B) the strike price per share, times (ii) the number of shares of common stock covered by the SAR.

The Company accounts for stock options as equity-classified awards and recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the following table.

Performance Stock Awards, Performance Stock Units and Performance Units

PSAs, PSUs and PUs granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan will vest based on the achievement of predetermined performance goals over performance periods determined by the Compensation Committee or upon the occurrence of certain events, as determined by the Compensation Committee. PSAs are awards of common stock that are subject to forfeiture until predetermined performance conditions have been achieved. A PSU is a contractual right to receive a stated number of shares of common stock, or if provided by the Compensation Committee on or after the grant date, cash equal to the fair market value of such shares of common stock or any combination of shares of common stock and cash having an aggregate fair market value equal to such stated number of shares of common stock, which right is forfeitable until the achievement of predetermined performance conditions. PUs represent the right to receive a cash denominated award, payable in cash or shares of common stock or a combination thereof, and are forfeitable until the achievement of predetermined performance conditions.

As of December 31, 2021, there were no issued or outstanding grants of PSAs, PSUs or PUs under the 2021 Omnibus Plan.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock and RSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan will vest based on a minimum period of service or the occurrence of events specified by the Compensation Committee. Restricted stock and RSUs are subject to forfeiture until vested. Compensation expense for RSUs is based on the grant date fair value, and is recognized ratably over the vesting period. For grants issued in 2021, the vesting period is three years except for 500,000 shares which will vest in the first half of 2022.

As a result, the Company recognized $10 million related to the unrecognized portion of share-based compensation under the terminated 2016 Omnibus Plan in reorganization expense during the second quarter of 2021, which is reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 21, "Reorganization Items, Net."

As amended, the 2016 Omnibus Plan contained 11,767,723 shares which were available to grant pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Omnibus Plan before its termination on the Effective Date.

Note 9—Leases

The Company adopted Topic 842 in accordance with the effective date on January 1, 2019. In the Revenue Recognition section of Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," the Company discloses that revenue earned from vehicle rentals and from other forms of rental related activities wherein an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset, is accounted for under Topic 842.

The Company enters into certain agreements as a lessor under which it rents vehicles and leases fleets to customers. The Company enters into certain agreements as a lessee to rent real estate, vehicles and other equipment and to conduct its vehicle rental operations under concession agreements. If any of the following criteria are met, the Company classifies the lease as a financing lease (as a lessee) or as a direct financing or sales-type lease (both as a lessor):
The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise;
The lease term is for 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, unless the commencement date falls within the last 25% of the economic life of the underlying asset;
The present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the underlying asset; or
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

Leases that do not meet any of the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases.

The Company combines lease and non-lease components in its contracts under Topic 842, when permissible.

The following further describes the Company's leasing transactions.

Lessor

The Company's operating leases for vehicle rentals have rental periods that are typically short term (e.g., daily or weekly) and can generally be extended for up to one month or terminated at the customer's discretion. Rental charges are computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. In connection with the vehicle rental, the Company offers supplemental equipment rentals (e.g., child seats and ski racks) which are deemed lease components. The Company also offers value-added services in connection with the vehicle rental, which are deemed non-lease components, such as loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and satellite radio. Additionally, the Company charges for variable services primarily consisting of tolls and refueling charges incurred during the rental period, and for fees associated with the early or late termination of the vehicle lease. The Company mitigates residual value risk of its revenue earning vehicles by utilizing manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, using sophisticated vehicle diagnostic and repair equipment to maintain the condition of its vehicles and through periodic reviews of vehicle depreciation rates based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions.

Prior to the Donlen Sale on March 30, 2021, as further disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," the Company had operating leases for fleets as part of its Donlen business which had lease periods that were typically for twelve months, after which the lease converted to a month-to-month lease, allowing the vehicle to be surrendered any time thereafter. These leases contained terminal rental adjustment clauses which were considered variable charges.

Lessee

As a lessee, the Company has the following types of operating leases:
Concession agreements which grant the Company the right to conduct its vehicle rental operations at airports, hotels and train stations and to use building space such as terminal counters and parking garages;
Real estate leases for its off airport vehicle rental locations and other premises;
Revenue earning vehicle leases; and
Other equipment leases.

The Company's lease terms generally range from one month to thirty-five years and a number of agreements contain escalation clauses, which increase the payment obligation based on a fixed or variable rate and renewal options. The length of renewals vary and may result in different payment terms. Payment terms are based on fixed rates explicit in the lease, including guaranteed minimums and/or variable rates based on:
Operating expenses, such as common area charges, real estate taxes and insurance;
A percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant premises; and/or
Periodic inflation adjustments.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets for leases with a term greater than twelve months. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the Company's right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (i.e., those with a term of twelve months or less) and recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, as applicable.

To determine the present value of its lease payments, the Company utilizes the interest rate implicit in the lease agreement. If the implicit interest rate cannot be determined in the lease agreement, the Company utilizes the Company's collateralized incremental borrowing rate as of the date of adoption, January 1, 2019, or the commencement date of the lease, whichever is later.

As a result of the impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company received rent concessions in the form of abatement and payment deferrals of fixed and variable rent payments for its airport and off airport locations in the amount of approximately $300 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which substantially represented amounts previously due in 2020. The Company elected to apply the accounting relief provided by the FASB and elected to not evaluate whether the concession was a modification. The Company accounted for the concession as if it was part of the existing contract.

In 2021 and 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Lease Rejection Orders which applied, in the aggregate, to 278 and 359 off airport locations, respectively, and to 34 and 66 airport locations, respectively, in the Company's Americas RAC segment.

Europe Restructuring

Due to the continued impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," and reductions in European government support, the Company initiated a restructuring program in March 2021 in its International RAC segment. The total number of employees affected for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately 900. The program is expected to be completed in 2022.

U.S. Restructuring

Due to the impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the Company initiated a restructuring program beginning in April 2020, affecting approximately 11,000 U.S. employees in its Americas RAC segment and corporate operations.

In determining valuation allowances, an assessment of positive and negative evidence was performed regarding realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment included the evaluation of cumulative earnings and losses in recent years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the availability of carryforwards and the remaining period of the respective carry forward, future taxable income and any applicable tax-planning strategies that are available.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards ("Federal NOLs") of approximately $4.0 billion, $839 million tax effected and federal tax credits of approximately $28 million. Federal NOLs have an indefinite carryforward period, which may offset 80% of taxable income generated in any future year. The federal tax credits begin expiring in 2035. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance on its Federal NOLs or federal tax credits as there were adequate U.S. deferred tax liabilities that could be realized within the carry forward periods.

During 2021 as part of a restructuring of the European operations, we generated a tax loss of approximately $1.3 billion, which was characterized as a capital loss in the 2021 provision. Separately, the company generated approximately $600 million of taxable capital gains on the disposition of the Donlen Corporation. As a result, the Company has approximately $670 million, $141 million U.S, federal tax-effected, of capital loss carryforward for which a full valuation allowance is recorded. The Company has filed a request for a pre-filing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether the capital loss on European restructuring qualifies as an ordinary loss.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards ("State NOLs") of approximately $4.8 billion of which $1.0 billion have an indefinite utilization period with remaining State NOLs beginning to expire in 2022. The tax effected State NOLs are recorded as a deferred tax asset in the amount of $245 million, and are offset, in part, by a valuation allowance totaling $171 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $35 million in state tax credits that are fully offset by a valuation allowance. The state tax credits expire over various years beginning in 2022 depending upon when they were generated and the particular jurisdiction.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has foreign net operating loss carry forwards ("Foreign NOLs") of approximately $1.0 billion, of which $911 million have an indefinite utilization period with the remaining Foreign NOLs beginning to expire in 2024. The tax effected Foreign NOLs are recorded as a deferred tax asset of $239 million, and are offset by valuation allowances totaling $239 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, the Company has no tax credits in foreign jurisdictions.

Due to the ownership changes before and upon emergence form Chapter 11, the utilization of the Company's Federal, State and Foreign NOLs may be subject to limitations. Estimates of these limitations have been reflected in the tax provision.

The Company recorded a tax provision in 2021 compared to a tax benefit in 2020. The change was primarily driven by improvements in the Company's financial performance in 2021, changes in the mix of earnings and losses in jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized, non-deductible bankruptcy expenses, and reduced by the tax benefits of the European reorganization. Hertz Holdings exclusive items are comprised of transactions specific to Hertz Holdings only.

The Company recorded a tax benefit in 2020 compared to a tax provision in 2019. The change was due primarily to significant losses in 2020 resulting from the effect of COVID-19, offset, in part, by the impact of valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized tax benefits are $106 million and, if settled, $35 million would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods. However, considering correlative adjustments associated

with some uncertain tax positions, the net impact on the income tax provision would be approximately $9 million if settled. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The tax years that are open for examination span from 2008 to 2021.

During 2020, the IRS proposed transfer pricing adjustments to the Company's 2014 and 2015 tax years, for which the company is pursuing competent authority relief. In the second quarter of 2021, the IRS concluded its audit of the Company's 2016 tax year which resulted in no audit adjustments.

During June 2021, the Company received final resolution to its request for competent authority relief concerning a German and U.S. transfer pricing matter covering the 2005 - 2010 tax years. The Company has reassessed its uncertain tax positions upon receipt of the new information for tax years 2011 - 2021, which did not result in a material adjustment as it reduced an NOL with a full valuation allowance. The Company's assumptions and estimates pertaining to uncertain tax positions require significant judgment. It is possible that the tax authorities could challenge the Company's estimates and assumptions used to assess the tax benefits, and the actual amount of the tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions may differ materially from these estimates.

Additionally, the Company is under audit in several U.S. states and other foreign jurisdictions, and it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change as the result of the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of the statute of limitations or other unforeseen circumstances. The amount that is reasonably possible to change during the next twelve months is not expected to be significant.

Net, after-tax interest and penalties related to tax liabilities are classified as a component of income tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations which were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Net, after-tax interest and penalties were accrued as a component of tax in the Company's consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $7 million and $9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Beginning the first quarter of 2020, Hertz Global no longer asserts permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings with respect to its non-U.S. earnings, due to the impact from COVID-19 as disclosed in Note 1, "Background."

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

Under U.S. GAAP, entities are allowed to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its assets or liabilities that meet the criteria for this option. Irrespective of the fair value option previously described, U.S. GAAP requires certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company to be measured on either a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis.

Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Debt Obligations

The fair value of the debt facilities is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (i.e. Level 2 inputs).

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in money market funds and bank money market and interest-bearing accounts. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets (i.e. Level 1 inputs).

Public Warrants

Under the Plan of Reorganization, reorganized Hertz Global issued Public Warrants, which are classified as liabilities at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("Topic 480"). See Note 18, "Public Warrants - Hertz Global," for further details. Upon issuance on the Effective Date, the initial fair value of the Public Warrants was $800 million. The Company calculates the fair value based on the end-of-day quoted market price, a Level 1 input of the fair value hierarchy. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the fair value adjustment was a loss of $627 million and is recorded in change in fair value of Public Warrants in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for Hertz Global for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Legal Proceedings

Self-Insured Liabilities

The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet commenced for self-insured liabilities arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. The obligation for self-insured liabilities on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company's liability recorded for self-insured liabilities was $463 million and $488 million, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
assumptions. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Loss Contingencies

From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, typically involving operational issues common to the vehicle rental business, including claims by employees, former employees and governmental investigations. The Company has summarized below the material legal proceedings to which the Company was a party during the year ended December 31, 2021 or the period after December 31, 2021, but before the filing of this 2021 Annual Report.

In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation - In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Old Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in certain of its public disclosures in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. The complaint, as amended, was dismissed with prejudice on April 27, 2017 and on September 20, 2018, the Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the complaint with prejudice. On February 5, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the federal district court to exercise its discretion and allow the plaintiffs to reinstate their claims to include additional allegations from the administrative order agreed to by the SEC and the Company in December 2018, which was supplemented by reference to the Company’s subsequently filed litigation against former executives (disclosed below). On September 30, 2019, the federal district court of New Jersey denied the plaintiffs’ motion for relief from the April 27, 2017 judgment and a related motion to allow the filing of a proposed fifth amended complaint. On October 30, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The parties fully briefed the appeal and oral argument had been scheduled for June 19, 2020. As a result of the Company's bankruptcy, the appeal was stayed as to the Company, but the plaintiffs advocated that the appeal could proceed against the individual defendants. On October 13, 2020, the Third Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the plaintiffs’ motion for relief against the individual defendants since the motion was not timely filed and the appeal as to the Company remained stayed. In February 2021, the parties participated in a bankruptcy-related mediation process and arrived at a tentative settlement wherein the Company would pay a $250,000 cash settlement. In return, the plaintiffs would voluntarily dismiss all claims in the underlying action with prejudice and withdraw the plaintiffs’ Proofs of Claim with prejudice. On March 12, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved the tentative settlement and the terms of the settlement have now been fully implemented. This matter is now closed.

Make-Whole and Post-Petition Interest Claims - On July 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as indenture trustee of (1) 6.250% Unsecured Notes due 2022, (2) 5.500% Unsecured Notes due 2024, (3) 7.125% Unsecured Notes due 2026, and (4) 6.000% Unsecured Notes due 2028 issued by The Hertz Corporation (collectively, the “Notes”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against The Hertz Corporation, Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Donlen Corporation, DTG Operations, Inc., DTG Supply, LLC, Firefly Rent A Car LLC, Hertz Car Sales LLC, Hertz Global Services Corporation, Hertz Local Edition Corp., Hertz Local Edition Transporting, Inc., Hertz System, Inc., Hertz Technologies, Inc., Hertz Transporting, Inc., Rental Car Group Company, LLC, Smartz Vehicle Rental Corporation, Thrifty Car Sales, Inc., Thrifty, LLC, Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc., Thrifty Rent A Car System, LLC, and TRAC Asia Pacific, Inc. (collectively referred to in this summary as “Defendants”). The filing of the Complaint initiated the adversary proceeding captioned Wells Fargo Bank, National Association v. The Hertz Corporation, et al. pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Adv. Pro. No. 21-50995 (MFW). The Complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the holders of the Unsecured Notes are entitled to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
payment of certain redemption premiums and post-petition interest that they assert total $271,684,720 plus interest at the contractual default rate or in the alternative are entitled to payment post-petition interest at the applicable contractual rate that they assert totals $124,512,653 plus interest at the New York statutory rate. On July 2, 2021, Defendants were summoned to file a motion or answer to the Complaint within 30 days. On August 2, 2021, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss both counts for declaratory judgment, which was argued before Judge Walrath on November 9, 2021. On December 23, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed Wells Fargo’s claims with respect to (i) the redemption premium allegedly owed on the 2022 and 2024 Notes and (ii) post-petition interest at the contract rate. As a result, only Wells Fargo’s claims for a redemption premium with respect to the 2026 and 2028 Senior Notes now remain. Additionally, note holders that elected to participate in the 2021 Rights Offering waived their right to collect on the make whole premium. Therefore, since some of the 2026 and 2028 note holders elected to participate in the 2021 Rights Offering, the total amount which may be owed with respect to the asserted make whole premium for those series of notes will be reduced further. The Defendants dispute that any such amounts are owed and intend to respond and otherwise vigorously defend claims set forth therein. The Company cannot predict the outcome or timing of this litigation.

Additionally, some creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases may assert that the Company owes additional interest and, in certain cases, additional make whole or other premiums. These claims could be material. The Company retains all rights with respect to any such asserted amounts and intends to vigorously defend against any such asserted claims. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the litigation regarding the validity or, if deemed valid, the amount of any such additional asserted interest and make whole claims and as such, the Company cannot predict the outcome or timing of this litigation.

The Company maintains an internal compliance program through which it from time to time identifies potential violations of laws and regulations applicable to the Company. When the Company identifies such matters, the Company conducts an internal investigation and otherwise cooperates with governmental authorities, as appropriate.

The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for self-insured liabilities, none of those reserves are material. For matters where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Other Proceedings

Litigation Against Former Executives - The Company filed litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Mark Frissora, Elyse Douglas and John Jefferey Zimmerman on March 25, 2019, and in state court in Florida against Scott Sider on March 28, 2019, all of whom were former executive officers of Old Hertz Holdings. The complaints predominantly allege breach of contract and seek repayment of incentive-based compensation received by the defendants in connection with restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related accounting for prior periods. The Company is also seeking recovery for the costs of the SEC investigation that resulted in an administrative order on December 31, 2018 with respect to events generally involving the restatements included in Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and other damages resulting from the necessity of the restatements. The Company is pursuing these legal proceedings in accordance with its clawback policy and contractual rights. In October 2019, the Company entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement with Elyse Douglas. In September and October 2020, the judge in the New Jersey action entered orders requiring the parties and applicable insurers to attend and participate in mediation. The attorneys in the Florida action voluntarily agreed to participate in the same mediation which was held on November 30, 2020. The mediation was unsuccessful, but settlement discussions continued

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
and, on April 14, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Settlement Agreement between the Company and Scott Sider. The Florida action is now closed. On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Jeff Zimmerman, leaving Mark Frissora as the sole remaining defendant in this litigation. Fact discovery has now been completed in the New Jersey action and the case will proceed to the pre-trial phase of experts’ reports and experts’ depositions. Pursuant to the agreements governing the separation of Herc Holdings from Hertz Global that occurred on June 30, 2016, Herc Holdings is entitled to 15% of the net proceeds of any repayment or recovery.

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.

Note 15—Related Party Transactions

Transactions and Agreements between Hertz Holdings and Hertz

In June 2019, Hertz entered into a master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $425 million with an expiration in June 2020 (the "2019 Master Loan"). The interest rate was based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin.

As a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases, as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," the full amount outstanding under the 2019 Master Loan was deemed uncollectible, resulting in a charge of $133 million during the second quarter of 2020, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for Hertz for the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, the loan due to an affiliate, which represents a tax-related liability from Hertz to Hertz Holdings, in the amount of $65 million was classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hertz as of December 31, 2020. On the Effective Date, the $65 million tax-related liability from Hertz to Hertz Holdings was reinstated. See Note 20, "Liabilities Subject to Compromise." As of December 31, 2021, the $65 million tax-related liability has been settled via a non-cash distribution from Hertz to Hertz Holdings.

On May 23, 2020, Hertz entered into a new master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $25 million with an expiration in May 2021 (the "New Loan"). The interest rate was based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of December 31, 2020, there was $1 million outstanding under the New Loan representing advances and any accrued but unpaid interest.

In May 2021, upon expiration of the New Loan, Hertz entered into a new master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $25 million with an expiration in May 2022 (the "2021 Master Loan"), where amounts outstanding under the New Loan were transferred to the 2021 Master Loan. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. On the Effective Date, in connection with the Chapter 11 Emergence, the ATM Program contribution from Hertz Global, as disclosed in Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global," was used to settle amounts outstanding under the New Loan. As of December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding balance under the 2021 Master Loan.

Other Relationships

In connection with its vehicle rental businesses, the Company enters into millions of rental transactions every year involving millions of customers. In order to conduct those businesses, the Company also procures goods and services from thousands of vendors. Some of those customers and vendors may be affiliated with members of the Company's Board. The Company believes that all such rental and procurement transactions involved terms no less favorable to the Company than those that it believes would have been obtained in the absence of such affiliation. The Company's Audit Committee oversees compliance through our Standards of Business Conduct, reviews conflicts of interest involving directors and determines whether to approve each transaction that involves the Company or any of its affiliates, on one hand, and (directly or indirectly) a director or member of his or her family or any entity managed by any such person, on the other hand.

767 Auto Leasing LLC

In January 2018, Hertz entered into the 767 Lease Agreement pursuant to which Hertz granted 767, an entity affiliated with a related party until May 2020, the option to acquire certain vehicles from Hertz. The 767 Lease Agreement was terminated effective October 31, 2021 as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures."

Note 16—Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global

Emergence from Bankruptcy

In connection with the Chapter 11 Emergence, all of Hertz Global's existing authorized, issued, and outstanding common and preferred stock were cancelled.

Common Stock

Under reorganized Hertz Global's revised articles of incorporation, 1,000,000,000 shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock, par value $0.01 per share, have been authorized for issuance. Each share represents one vote on matters presented to the voting stockholders of reorganized Hertz Global. The consideration received by reorganized Hertz Global upon the issuance of common stock that exceeded the par value was recorded in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hertz Global as of December 31, 2021. The reorganized Hertz Global common stock is not convertible and does not accrue dividends. Dividends, if any, are paid only upon a valid declaration by the Board of reorganized Hertz Global, and such declarations are subject to customary legal and regulatory restrictions, restrictions related to the Series A Preferred Stock, and applicable debt covenants.

2021 Rights Offering

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, approximately 35% of reorganized Hertz Global common stock was offered pursuant to the 2021 Rights Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $1.6 billion of shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The 2021 Rights Offering subscription was first made available to eligible existing Hertz Global stockholders ("Eligible Existing Stockholders") on a pro rata basis to their existing common stock interest, and second, if not fully subscribed and funded by Eligible Existing Stockholders, to certain eligible holders of the Company's Senior Notes and lenders under the Alternative Letter of Credit Facility, pursuant to certain subscription procedures. The final expiration date for the 2021 Rights Offering occurred on June 15, 2021. Hertz Global closed the offering upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on the Effective Date with Eligible Existing Stockholders subscribing to purchase 127,362,114 shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion. The unsubscribed portion of the 2021 Rights Offering was backstopped by the Backstop Parties resulting in the issuance of 36,137,887 shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock for gross proceeds of $361 million. The Backstop Parties were compensated a backstop fee of $164 million in reorganized Hertz Global common stock valued at $10.00 per share which is included in the 2021 Rights Offering in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Changes in Mezzanine Equity and Stockholders' Equity. During the third quarter of 2021, reorganized Hertz Global issued additional shares pursuant to the rounding provisions of the 2021 Rights Offering for cash proceeds of approximately $4 million at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

Public Warrants

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, reorganized Hertz Global issued 89,049,029 Public Warrants. See Note 18, "Public Warrants - Hertz Global," for attributes of the Public Warrants, which are classified at fair value as a liability for financial reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP.

Mezzanine Equity - Preferred Stock

In accordance with the revised articles of incorporation of reorganized Hertz Global, 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, have been authorized for issuance.

Mezzanine Equity – Series A Preferred Stock

In connection with the Plan of Reorganization, reorganized Hertz Global issued 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock on the Effective Date, with an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, to Apollo, on behalf of one or more investment funds, separate accounts, and other entities owned, controlled, managed, and/or advised by Apollo or its affiliates, for $1.5 billion, less a 2% upfront discount and stock issuance fees. Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock accrued dividends payable in cash semi-annually in arrears, at a rate of 9% per annum prior to June 30, 2023 and generally increasing thereafter. The first cash dividend payment was payable on the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
As no one person or entity controls the voting stock of reorganized Hertz Global, a potential change-in-control action could be outside the Company's control and result in a non-compliance event, which could then result in a mandatory redemption of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock was classified as mezzanine equity upon issuance and recorded at its redemption amount.

Pursuant to the certificate of designations for the Series A Preferred Stock, Hertz Global could redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, in cash, at a redemption price equal to the then-current accrued stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed, subject to a multiple of invested capital floor price equal to a specified multiple 1.30 times the $1,000 per share liquidation preference.

Tender Offer for Repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock

On November 23, 2021, Hertz Global commenced the Tender Offer to repurchase all 1,500,000 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a per-share price of $1,250. The Tender Offer expired on December 21, 2021 and all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were repurchased at a price of $1,250 per share for aggregate payments by Hertz Global of $1.9 billion. Hertz Global funded the share repurchases in the Tender Offer with available cash, including proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes Due 2026 and Senior Notes Due 2029 which were contributed to Hertz Global through a dividend distribution from Hertz. The repurchased shares of Series A Preferred Stock were simultaneously retired.

Concurrent with the Tender Offer, Hertz Global solicited consents from a majority of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to amend the certificates of designation of the Series A Preferred Shares in order to eliminate the requirement that, without the affirmative vote or consent of holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares outstanding, Hertz Global could not make certain restricted payments (as defined in the certificate of designations) and certain of Hertz Global's unrestricted subsidiaries could not make certain payments in respect of junior stock (as defined in the certificate of designations). Based on the final results of the Tender Offer, the requisite consent of at least a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares required to approve the proposed amendment was obtained, although it was not necessary to implement the amendment in light of the fact that all Series A Preferred Shares were tendered in the Tender Offer.

The difference between the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock at expiration of the Tender Offer and the redemption value paid by Hertz Global, including approximately $7 million in certain fees, of $450 million is recorded to Hertz Global's additional paid in capital as of December  31, 2021, and accordingly, is subtracted from net income available to common stockholders of Hertz Global for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. In connection with the Tender Offer, any unpaid dividends that the Preferred Stockholders were entitled to pursuant to the original Preferred Stock terms were forfeited upon acceptance of the Tender Offer.

Registration Status of Stock Issued on the Effective Date and Nasdaq Listing

With the exception of the shares of reorganized Hertz Global's common stock issued to the Backstop Parties, the direct investment commitment under the EPCA and the 2021 Rights Offering, the common stock and the Public Warrants issued by the reorganized Hertz Global pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization on the Effective Date were issued under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under the Bankruptcy Code. Shares of reorganized Hertz Global common stock issued to the Backstop Parties, the direct investment commitment under the EPCA, the 2021 Rights Offering and the Series A Preferred Stock were issued under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On November 8, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global successfully completed its Nasdaq listing, in which shares of its new common stock were registered with the SEC for a public offering by certain selling stockholders. On November 9, 2021, reorganized Hertz Global's common stock and Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the trading symbols "HTZ" and "HTZWW," respectively. In conjunction with the registration of Hertz Global's common stock in the Nasdaq listing, certain selling stockholders offered and sold 44,520,000 shares of Hertz Global's common stock to the public. Of these shares, Hertz Global repurchased from the underwriters 10,344,828 shares for an aggregate

purchase price of $300 million which is included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

Share Repurchase Program for Common Stock

On November 29, 2021, Hertz Global's Board approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion worth of shares of Hertz Global's outstanding common stock. Any repurchases will be made at the discretion of Hertz Global's management through a variety of methods, such as open-market transactions (including pre-set trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The share repurchase authorization has no initial time limit, does not obligate Hertz Global to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases.

Between the inception of the share repurchase program and December 31, 2021, a total of 17,106,026 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased by Hertz Global at an average share price of $23.83, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $408 million. This amount was included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

Between January 1, 2022 and February 17, 2022, a total of 20,589,620 shares of Hertz Global's common stock were repurchased at an average share price of $20.95 resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $431 million.

Stockholders' Equity Prior to Plan of Reorganization

Equity of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.

As of December 31, 2020, there were 40 million shares of Hertz Holdings preferred stock authorized, par value $0.01 per share, 400 million shares of Hertz Holdings common stock authorized, par value $0.01 per share, and 2 million shares of treasury stock. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, all pre-reorganization equity interests were cancelled as of the Effective Date.

2019 Rights Offering

In June 2019, Hertz Global filed a prospectus supplement to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the SEC on June 12, 2019 for a rights offering to raise gross proceeds of approximately $750 million and providing for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 57,915,055 new shares of Hertz Global common stock (the "2019 Rights Offering"). Upon closing in July 2019, the 2019 Rights Offering was fully subscribed resulting in Hertz Global selling 57,915,055 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $750 million.

Open Market Sale Agreement

In June 2020, subsequent to approval from the Bankruptcy Court and pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement, Hertz Global entered into an open market sale agreement under which it could offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million ("ATM Program"). Prior to its suspension on June 15, 2020 and ultimate termination on June 18, 2020, Hertz Global issued 13,912,368 shares under the ATM Program for net proceeds of approximately $28 million, which is included in non-vehicle restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, all shares that had been issued under the ATM Program were cancelled. Additionally, on the Effective Date, Hertz Global contributed the $28 million of net proceeds to Hertz which was recorded in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hertz as of December 31, 2021.

Note 17—Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Hertz Global

Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including Public Warrants, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding included the dilutive impact of Public Warrants where the Company assumed share settlement of the Public Warrants as of the beginning of the reporting period. Additionally, the Company removes the change in fair value of Public Warrants when computing diluted earnings (loss) per common share, when the impact of Public Warrants is dilutive.

As disclosed in Note 16, "Equity and Mezzanine Equity – Hertz Global," the Tender Offer to repurchase all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock expired in December 2021 with all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock repurchased by Hertz Global. The difference between the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock at expiration of the Tender Offer and the redemption value paid by Hertz Global was deemed a dividend to the holders of Hertz Global's Series A Preferred Stock, along with certain fees for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share below. As dividends represent earnings that were not available to the holders of Hertz Global's common stock when computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share, they are reflected as an adjustment to net income (loss) available to common stockholders when computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for Hertz Global.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

Note 18—Public Warrants - Hertz Global

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization and the Public Warrant Agreement, reorganized Hertz Global issued 89,049,029 Public Warrants with an initial exercise price of $13.80 per Public

Warrant, subject to certain conditions. The Public Warrants allow the holders to purchase up to 18% of the aggregate number of reorganized Hertz Global common interests issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date. Each Public Warrant will entitle the holders to receive one share of reorganized Hertz Global common stock. The Public Warrants have a 30-year term and are exercisable from the date of issuance until June 30, 2051, at which time any unexercised Public Warrants will expire, and the rights of the holders to purchase reorganized Hertz Global common stock will terminate. The exercise price of the Public Warrants is subject to adjustment from time to time upon any payment of cash dividends relating to reorganized Hertz Global's common stock and the occurrence of certain dilutive events as described in the Public Warrant Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the exercise price remains $13.80.

Between the Effective Date and December 31, 2021, 6,040,280 Public Warrants were exercised, of which 428,102 were cashless exercises and 5,612,178 were exercised for $13.80 per share.

The Public Warrants are freely transferable, subject only to applicable securities laws and the restrictions on transfers and sales of Public Warrants and reorganized Hertz Global's common stock. On November 9, 2021, the Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol HTZWW. The Public Warrants previously traded on the over-the-counter market.

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of Topic 480, under which the Public Warrants meet the definition of a freestanding financial instrument. Although these are publicly traded warrants, they are classified as liabilities due to certain settlement provisions that are only applicable in the event of change of control (as defined by the Public Warrant Agreement). The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. See Note 12, "Fair Value Measurements."

Note 19—Segment Information

The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the financial information for the Company’s reportable segments. In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with the Chapter 11 Emergence as disclosed in Note 1, "Background," and changes in how the Company's CODM regularly reviews operating results and allocates resources, the Company revised its reportable segments to include Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean in its Americas RAC reportable segment, which were previously included in its International RAC reportable segment. Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to conform with the revised presentation. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are consistent with its operating segments and organized based on the products and services provided and the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows:
Americas RAC - rental of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean; and
International RAC - rental and leasing of vehicles (cars, vans, crossovers and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services internationally and consists primarily of the Company's Europe and other international locations.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the Donlen Sale, as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," the All Other Operations reportable segment, which consisted primarily of the Company's former Donlen business, was no longer deemed a reportable segment.

In addition to its reportable segments and other operating activities, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate") which includes general corporate assets and expenses and certain interest expense (including net interest on non-vehicle debt). Corporate includes other items necessary to reconcile the reportable segments to the Company's total amounts.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this 2021 Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this inherent risk.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears in this 2021 Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness

As previously disclosed in Part II Item 9A Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness associated with information technology general controls (“ITGCs”), specifically logical security controls over financially significant system applications.

176

Table of Contents
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
During 2021, we implemented our previously disclosed remediation plan, which included completing the following remediation actions:
Performed an assessment of the IT organization to determine the sufficiency of resources with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training commensurate with our ITGC internal controls and executed all recommendations arising from the assessment.
Clarified and communicated roles for ITGC control owners and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) project management team through confirming the identification of each control owner, reinforcing requirements and creating a culture of accountability to enforce the compliance of ITGCs.
Administered enhanced re-trainings for ITGC control owners regarding risks, controls and maintaining adequate evidence.
Improved existing de-provisioning controls for timely execution of removal of terminated user access.
Enhanced monitoring of ITGC design and operational effectiveness through implementation of monthly remediation progress status dashboards with the Chief Information Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which was then summarized quarterly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, we completed the necessary testing to conclude that the material weakness was remediated as of December 31, 2021.

Except for the material weakness remediation described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Hertz Global

The information required by Item 10 with respect to Hertz Global, other than the executive officers of Hertz Global, which information is contained in Part 1 of this 2021 Annual Report, is incorporated by reference to the definitive proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. We intend to file such definitive proxy statement with the SEC pursuant to Regulation 14A within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by this 2021 Annual Report.

Hertz

As disclosed in the Explanatory Note to this 2021 Annual Report, Hertz Global indirectly owns 100% of the common stock of Hertz. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hertz is not a listed company, is managed together with Hertz Global and is subject to Hertz Global’s policies and procedures.

Directors and Executive Officers of Hertz

The board of directors of Hertz is comprised of Paul E. Stone, Kenny Cheung and M. David Galainena, each an executive officer of Hertz Global. The common stock of Hertz is not listed on any national securities exchange and, therefore, is not required to have independent directors on its board, nor is it required to have any committees of its board, including an audit committee, compensation committee, or nominating and governance committee.

The executive officers of Hertz are the same individuals as the executive officers of Hertz Global.

Information about the individuals serving as members of the board of directors and as executive officers of Hertz can be found in Part I of this 2021 Annual Report under “Executive Officers of the Registrant.”

Code of Ethics

Hertz and Hertz Global have adopted Standards of Business Conduct (Code of Ethics) that apply to all employees, including executive officers, and to directors. The Code of Ethics is available on the Corporate Governance page of Hertz Global’s website at https://ir.hertz.com/corporate-governance. If any provision of the Code of Ethics is amended or waived with respect to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or any person performing similar functions, information with respect to any such waiver or amendment will be posted, if required, on the website set forth above rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

As disclosed above, Hertz is not required to have an audit committee of its board of directors. The full board of Hertz fulfills the duties of an audit committee. Although the Hertz board has not designated any of its members as an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Cheung, who serves as Hertz Global’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is a member of the board of directors of Hertz and meets the requirements under SEC rules and regulations for an “audit committee financial expert.”

EXHIBIT 4.1
DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

As of December 31, 2021, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”), had two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (i) our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Warrants”).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary description of the common stock is based upon our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our second amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and applicable provisions of the law. The summary is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part. You should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you.

Authorized Capital Stock

We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The are no shares of preferred stock currently outstanding.

Common Stock

Dividend Rights. Subject to limitations under Delaware law, preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and contractual restrictions, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends or other distributions when and if declared by the board of directors. In addition to such restrictions, whether any future dividends are paid will depend on decisions that will be made by the board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, contractual restrictions, corporate law restrictions, capital requirements and business prospects. The ability of the board of directors to declare dividends also will be subject to the rights of any holders of outstanding shares of our preferred stock and the availability of sufficient funds under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) to pay dividends.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Hertz, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share in the net assets of Hertz available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock.

Preemptive Rights. Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights.

Voting Rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock, each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our common stock will not have cumulative voting rights.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “HTZ.” Computershare, Inc. is the transfer agent for our common stock.




Preferred Stock

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares of any class or series of preferred stock and to determine its voting powers, designations, preferences or other rights and restrictions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock or impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law

Delaware Business Combinations Statute. We have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any “business combination” (as defined below) with an “interested stockholder” (as defined below) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder. Section 203 of the DGCL defines “business combination” to include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation in a transaction involving the interested stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

Board of Directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide that the number of directors will be fixed by the board of directors from time to time. Our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors and, as a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our board by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings. Under our Bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast will be sufficient to elect a director. Under our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, a vote of a majority of all then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors is required to remove a director but only for cause, and the Board may fill the resulting vacancy, except that whenever the holders of one or more series of the preferred stock have the right, voting separately by class or series, to nominate or elect one or more directors, the removal of such directors will be governed by the terms of such series of the preferred stock as set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. Vacancies resulting from newly created directorships by reason of an increase in the size of the board of directors or from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause will be filled by a majority vote of the board of directors, even if less than quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not stockholders). These provisions may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by this removal with its own nominees.

Advance Notice Procedures. Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before a meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at a meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our corporate secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our Bylaws will not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our



Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company.

Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time only by or at the direction of our board of directors pursuant to a written resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of the majority of the total number of directors that the Company would have if there were no vacancies; or by one or more stockholders holding not less than 25% of the voting power of all shares of the Company entitled to vote (except that a special meeting for the purpose of considering any action to directly or indirectly facilitate or effect a business combination, including any action to change or otherwise affect the composition of our board of directors for that purpose, must be called by 50% or more of the voting power of all shares of the Company entitled to vote), who shall demand such special meeting by written notice given to our Board of directors specifying the purpose or purposes of such meeting.

Authorized but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or similar rules. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Limitations on Directors’ Liability. Our Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of our directors to us or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions generally providing for indemnification and prepayment of expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Business Opportunities. In recognition that our investors and their officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries may serve as our directors and/or officers and that our investors may engage in similar activities or lines of business that we do, our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the allocation of certain business opportunities between us and our investors. Specifically, none of our investors or any officer, director, agent, stockholder, member, partner or affiliate of an investor has any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do. In the event that any investor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for itself and us, we will not have any expectancy in such business opportunity, and the investor will not have any duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to us and may pursue or acquire such business opportunity for itself or direct such opportunity to another person. In addition, if a director or officer of us who is also an officer, director, agent, stockholder, member, partner or affiliate of any investor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for us and an investor, we will not have any expectancy in such business opportunity unless such business opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of us.

No such person shall be liable to us or any of our subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to us or our subsidiaries.




These provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation are permitted by Section 122 of the DGCL, and, accordingly, we and all of our stockholders are subject to them.

Transactions with Interested Directors or Officers. The DGCL provides that a contract or transaction in which one or more of our directors or officers has a financial interest will not be void or voidable solely because a director or officer is interested, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such person’s votes are counted for such purpose if:

the material facts as to such person’s or persons’ relations or interest as to the contract or transaction are     disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors, even though the number of disinterested directors may be less than a quorum; or

the material facts as to such person’s or person’s relationship or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or

the contract or transaction is fair as to us as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.

Exclusive Forum. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) (or, if the Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery, the “Delaware Courts” and, individually, a “Delaware Court”)) will be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (d) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery, or (e) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (e) above, any claim (i) as to which such Delaware Court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such Delaware Court (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such Delaware Court within ten days following such determination), (ii) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Courts, or (iii) for which the Delaware Courts do not have subject matter jurisdiction.

Our Certificate of Incorporation further provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS




The following description of the Warrants is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2021, between the Company and Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., collectively as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), which is filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part. You should read the Warrant Agreement for provisions that may be important to you.

General. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of our common stock per Warrant.

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable until June 30, 2051, at which time all unexercised Warrants will expire and the rights of the holders of such expired Warrants to purchase common stock will terminate.

Exercise Price. Each Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $13.80 per Warrant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the cashless exercise provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement. Any payment of dividends in cash on our common stock will adjust the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement.

The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain dilutive events, including stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications of the common stock, consolidations, mergers or combinations involving the Company, sales of all or substantially all of or substantially all of the assets of the Company, stock dividends to holders of common stock, the issuance of rights or warrants to holders of common stock, dividends or distributions to holders of common stock of shares of the Company’s capital stock, rights or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities or indebtedness, assets or property, or certain reclassification or reorganization events in respect of the common stock.

Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control Event (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) where stock registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act that is listed for trading on any national securities exchange (or will be within 30 days following the consummation of such Change of Control Event) (“Registered and Listed Shares”) issued as consideration represents less than 90% of the Market Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of all cash, stock, securities or other assets or property to be received by holders of common stock in respect of or in exchange for common stock, then holders of Warrants will receive an amount of cash as calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model in respect of the portion of consideration that is not Registered and Listed Shares. In connection with any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer of the Company, the successor to the Company will be required to assume all of the Company’s obligations under the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants.

Rights as a Stockholder. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, no holder of a Warrant, by virtue of holding or having a beneficial interest in the Warrant, will have the right to vote, receive dividends, receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of the Company’s directors or any other matter, or exercise any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company unless, until and only to the extent such holders become holders of record of shares of common stock issued upon settlement of Warrants.

Restriction on Certain Transactions. Under the Warrant Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are not permitted to enter into or amend or modify any transaction with its affiliates (other than subsidiaries of the Company) unless such transaction (i) is on terms no less favorable to the Company or its applicable subsidiaries than terms that would be obtained by the Company or such subsidiary from a disinterested third party on an arm’s length basis, or (ii) has been approved by a



majority of the Disinterested Directors (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), subject to certain permitted exceptions set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

The Warrants are currently traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “HTZWW.”

If such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Class A Ordinary Advance exceeds its Class A Required Non-Delayed Amount (such excess amount, the “Class A Permitted Delayed Amount”), then the Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser shall also include in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice the portion of such Class A Ordinary Advance (such amount as specified in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice, not to exceed such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser’s Class A Permitted Delayed Amount, the “Class A Delayed Amount”) that the Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser has elected to fund on a Business Day that is on or prior to the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the proposed date of such Class A Ordinary Advance (such date as specified in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice, the “Class A Delayed Funding Date”) rather than on the date for such Class A Ordinary Advance specified in the related Class A Advance Request.

Subject to the provisions of the Issuer Security Trust Deed, the Issuer Security Trustee may, however, refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Agreement or the Issuer Note Framework Agreement, that the Issuer Security Trustee determines may be materially prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders, or that may involve the Issuer Security Trustee in personal liability.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other valid right or remedy.
7.11Delay or Omission Not Waiver
No delay or omission of the Issuer Security Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Amortization Event or acquiescence thereto (other than any such right or remedy that by its terms requires such Amortization Event to be continuing at the time of exercising such right or remedy). Every right and remedy given by this Clause 7 (Amortization Events and Remedies) or by law to the Issuer Security Trustee or to each Noteholder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Issuer Security Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, this Sub-Clause 7.11 (Delay or Omission Not Waiver) shall be subject to and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Sub-Clause 11.10 (Amendments) and paragraph 2 (Amendments) of Annex 2 (Covenants).

EXHIBIT 4.8
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY DEED
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY (“Guarantee”), dated as of December 21, 2021, by THE HERTZ CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Hertz”), in favour of each of STUURGROEP FLEET (NETHERLANDS) B.V., (“Dutch FleetCo”), RAC FINANCE S.A.S., (“French FleetCo”); HERTZ FLEET LIMITED (“German FleetCo”); Dutch FleetCo acting through its Spanish branch, STUURGROEP FLEET (NETHERLANDS) B.V., SUCURSAL EN ESPANA, (“Spanish FleetCo” and together with Dutch FleetCo, French FleetCo and German FleetCo, the “FleetCos” or the “Beneficiaries”); BNP PARIBAS TRUST CORPORATION UK LIMITED as Issuer Security Trustee and FleetCo Security Trustee during the period (such period, the “Hertz Guarantee Period”) from and including the date hereof to but excluding the Guarantee Termination Date (as defined below);
Section 1.Defined Terms and Rules of Construction
(a)Except as otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the master definitions and constructions agreement signed by, amongst others, the parties hereto dated 25 September 2018 as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Master Definitions and Constructions Agreement”). All Clause, Sub Clause or paragraph references herein shall refer to clauses, sub-clauses or paragraphs of this Guarantee, except as otherwise provided herein.
(b)In this Guarantee, including the preamble, recitals, attachments, schedules, annexes, exhibits and joinders hereto, unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions used have the constructions ascribed to them in Clause 2 (Principles of Interpretation and Construction) of the Master Definitions and Constructions Agreement.
Section 2.Performance Guarantee.
(a)Hertz hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiaries, the due and punctual performance and observance by each of the Dutch Administrator, French Administrator, German Administrator and Spanish Administrator (together the “Administrators”) and each of the Servicers of its obligations under the Related Documents and of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings to be performed or observed by each of the Servicers and the Administrators under the Related Documents in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof including any agreement of the Servicers and the Administrators, in such capacity, to pay or deposit any money under the Related Documents (all such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings to be performed or observed by the Servicers and the Administrators, in such capacity, being collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”) and the due and punctual payment by each Lessee of all amounts to be paid by each Lessee pursuant to Clause 4 (Rent and Lease Charges) and Clause 13 (Value Added Tax and Stamp Taxes) of each Master Lease (together the “Guaranteed Monies”), in each case after any applicable grace periods or notice requirements, according to the terms of the Related Documents; provided, however, that Hertz shall not be liable to make any payment or deposit in respect of a Guaranteed Obligation or the Guaranteed Monies (each, a “Guaranteed Payment Obligation”) until five Business Days following receipt by Hertz of written notice from the relevant FleetCo that such a Guaranteed Payment Obligation is due that has not been satisfied by the Servicers, the Administrators or the Lessees (as applicable). In the event that the Servicers or the Administrators shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Lessees shall fail in any manner whatsoever to pay the Guaranteed Monies when the same shall be required to be performed or observed (after any applicable grace periods and notice requirements, according to the terms of the Related Documents, and the notice requirements set forth in the preceding sentence), then Hertz will itself duly perform or observe, or cause to be duly performed or observed, such Guaranteed Obligation, or pay such Guaranteed Monies and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of Hertz hereunder to perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation, or to cause such Guaranteed Obligation to be performed or observed, or to pay any Guaranteed Monies that any Beneficiary shall have first made




any request of or demand upon or given any notice to Hertz (other than the notice required pursuant to the preceding sentence) or to the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, or their successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against Hertz or the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, or their successors or assigns in respect thereof; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be construed to be a waiver by Hertz of the requirement that notice be provided to Hertz with respect to each Guaranteed Payment Obligation in accordance with the preceding sentence.
(b)The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally indemnifies, as an independent and primary obligation, each Beneficiary against, and must pay to each Beneficiary promptly on demand, amounts equal to any loss, claim, action, damage, liability, cost, charge, expense, penalty, compensation, fine or outgoing suffered, paid or incurred by each Beneficiary as a result of or in connection with (i) any obligation or liability of, or obligation or liability guaranteed by, the Guarantor under this Agreement (or which would be such an obligation or liability if enforceable, valid and not illegal) being or becoming unenforceable, invalid or illegal; (ii) any Lessee, Servicer or Administrator failing, or being unable, to pay any Guaranteed Monies or any of the Servicers or Administrators failing, or being unable, to perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations provided, however, that Hertz shall not be liable to make any payment or deposit in respect of a Guaranteed Obligation or the Guaranteed Monies until five Business Days following receipt by Hertz of written notice from the relevant FleetCo that such a Guaranteed Payment Obligation is due that has not been satisfied by the Servicers, the Administrators or the Lessees (as applicable); or (iii) any Guaranteed Monies (or money which would be Guaranteed Money if it were recoverable) not being recoverable from any Lessee, Servicer or Administrator, in each case, for any reason and whether or not such Beneficiary knew or ought to have known anything about those matters.
(c)The obligations of Hertz hereunder shall rank pari passu with the senior unsecured debt of Hertz. Hertz hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Related Document, any change therein or amendment, amendment and restatement or variation thereto, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defence of a guarantor and (ii) any difference between the law selected as the governing law of any of the Related Documents and the law selected as the governing law of this Guarantee. Hertz covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and payment of the Guaranteed Monies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (other than section 4.2 (Recourse)), this Guarantee shall be discharged in its entirety on the date on which all Guaranteed Obligations and all liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Monies have been fully, finally and unconditionally performed, discharged or satisfied (as the case may be) (the “Guarantee Termination Date”); provided, however, that this Guarantee shall not be discharged on the Guarantee Termination Date in respect of any claims made pursuant to and in accordance with this Guarantee prior to the Guarantee Termination Date which have not yet been fully, finally and unconditionally performed, discharged or satisfied..
(d)Hertz herby waives (i) promptness and diligence; (ii) notice of the incurrence of any additional obligations by the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee; (iii) notice of any actions taken by any Beneficiary under any Related Document; (iv) acceptance of this Guarantee and reliance thereon by the Beneficiaries; and (v) presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or Guaranteed Monies, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Guaranteed Monies, the omission of or delay in which might constitute grounds for relieving Hertz of its obligations under this Guarantee; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be construed to be a waiver by Hertz of the requirement that notice be provided to Hertz with respect to each Guaranteed Payment Obligation in accordance with Section 1(a) hereof.
2



(e)Hertz, in respect of any amounts owing from the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee under the Related Documents, that are paid by Hertz pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee to any third party, shall be subrogated to all rights of such third party to receive payments of such amounts from each Administrator, Servicer or Lessee; provided, however, that Hertz shall be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation only after all amounts payable under the Related Documents have been paid in full.
(f)Hertz further agrees that, to the extent that any Guaranteed Payment Obligation is made by or on behalf of the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, which Guaranteed Payment Obligation or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee or the estate, trustee, receiver or any other party relating to the applicable Administrator, Servicer or Lessee, including Hertz, under any bankruptcy law, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause then, to the extent of the amount so set aside or required to be repaid, the Guaranteed Payment Obligation or part thereof which had been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payments, reduction or satisfaction occurred.
Section 3.Taxes
(a)All payments by Hertz to or for the benefit of the Beneficiaries or any of their assignees, if any (each, a “Foreign Affected Person”) pursuant to this Guarantee are payable, except as otherwise required by the Requirements of Law, free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all Taxes but excluding, Taxes on net income or similar taxes (including branch profits taxes or alternative minimum tax) imposed or levied on the Foreign Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Foreign 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 Foreign Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under this Guarantee or received a payment under this Guarantee, or having enforced any of its rights under this Guarantee) (such non-excluded Taxes being called “Covered Taxes”).
(b)If Hertz is required by the Requirements of Law to deduct or pay any Covered Taxes in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of Hertz hereunder, then (i) the sum payable by Hertz shall be increased by Hertz when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4) the Foreign Affected Person shall receive and retain an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required, (ii) Hertz shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under the Requirements of Law; and (iii) Hertz shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Requirements of Law,
(c)Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (b) above, Hertz shall timely pay all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other similar excise or property taxes, charges or levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Guarantee, including any interest, additions or penalties applicable thereto (“Other Taxes”) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Requirements of Law.
(d)All payments made by Hertz under this Guarantee shall be exclusive of any VAT, which shall be paid by Hertz in addition to and at the same time as such payments.
(e)Hertz shall indemnify a Foreign Affected Person after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes (including Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4) paid by the Foreign Affected Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
3



asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Hertz by the Foreign Affected Person shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by Hertz to a Governmental Authority, Hertz shall deliver to the Foreign Affected Person the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Affected Person.
(g)If the Foreign Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3, it shall pay over to Hertz such amount as it determines will leave it, after such payment, in the same after-Tax position as it would have been if no such indemnity payment had been required, provided that Hertz, upon the request of the Foreign Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Hertz (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Foreign Affected Person in the event (and to the extent that) that the Foreign Affected Person is required to repay all or part of such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3(g) shall not be construed to require the Foreign Affected Person to make available their tax returns (or any other information relating to their taxes which they deem confidential) to Hertz or any other Person.
(h)The Foreign Affected Person shall, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to in this Section 3, use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application) to minimize the costs, expenses, Taxes or other liabilities incurred by it and payable by Hertz pursuant to this Section 4.
(i)In determining any amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person by Hertz pursuant to this Section 4, the Foreign Affected Person shall treat Hertz in the same way as all similarly situated Persons (as determined by the Foreign Affected Person in its reasonable discretion) and the Foreign 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 4.
Section 4.1Non-Petition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee or any Relevant Document, only the FleetCo Security Trustee may pursue the remedies available under the general law or under the FleetCo Security Documents to enforce this Guarantee and the FleetCo Security and no other Person shall be entitled to proceed directly against any FleetCo in respect hereof (unless the relevant FleetCo Security Trustee, having become bound to proceed in accordance with the terms of the relevant FleetCo Related Documents, fails or neglects to do so). The Guarantor hereby agrees with and acknowledges to each FleetCo, the Issuer Security Trustee and the FleetCo Security Trustee until the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date, that:
(a)it shall not have the right to take or join any person in taking any steps against any FleetCo for the purpose of obtaining payment of any amount due from any FleetCo (other than serving a written demand subject to the terms of the relevant FleetCo Security Documents); and
(b)neither it nor any Person on its behalf shall initiate or join any person in initiating an Event of Bankruptcy or the appointment of any Insolvency Official in relation to any FleetCo, provided that, the FleetCo Security Trustee shall have the right to take any action pursuant to and in accordance with the Related Documents.
The provisions of this Section 4.1 (Non-Petition) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 4.2No Recourse. The Guarantor agrees with and acknowledges that, notwithstanding any other provision of any FleetCo Related Document, all obligations of each FleetCo to it are limited in recourse as set out below:
4



(a)it will have a claim only in respect of the relevant FleetCo Collateral and will not have any claim, by operation of law or otherwise, against, or recourse to any of the other assets of the relevant FleetCo or its contributed capital;
(b)sums payable to it in respect of any of any FleetCo’s obligations to it shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of all sums due and payable to it and (ii) the aggregate amounts received, realised or otherwise recovered by or for the account of the FleetCo Security Trustee in respect of the relevant FleetCo Security whether pursuant to enforcement of the FleetCo Security or otherwise; and
(c)upon the FleetCo Security Trustee giving written notice that it has determined in its sole opinion that there is no reasonable likelihood of there being any further realisations in respect of the relevant FleetCo Security (whether arising from an enforcement of the relevant FleetCo Security or otherwise) which would be available to pay unpaid amounts outstanding under the relevant FleetCo Related Documents, it shall have no further claim against the relevant FleetCo in respect of any such unpaid amounts and such unpaid amounts shall be discharged in full.
The provisions of this Section 4.2 (No Recourse) shall survive the termination of this Guarantee.
Section 5.Miscellaneous.
Section 5.1Notices. All notices to Hertz under this Guarantee, until Hertz furnishes written notice to the contrary, shall be in writing and mailed, faxed or hand delivered to Hertz at 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656, and directed to the attention of Scott Massengill (facsimile no. (201 307-2746)).
Section 5.2Governing Law.
(a)This Guarantee and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.
(b)The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee and the parties therefore irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of those courts.
(c)The parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.
(d)Each of the Guarantor, Dutch FleetCo, French FleetCo, German FleetCo and Spanish FleetCo agrees that the process by which any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Document may be served on it is by being delivered to Hertz Europe Limited of Hertz House, 11 Vine Street, Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 1QE and if the appointment of a process agent by a party ceases to be effective, each such party shall immediately appoint another person in England as its process agent in respect of this Agreement and notify the other parties of the appointment and, if such party to a Related Document fails to appoint such further person, the Issuer Security Trustee may appoint another agent for this purpose. Each of the Guarantor, Dutch FleetCo, French FleetCo, German FleetCo and Spanish FleetCo further agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify such party to a Related Document of such process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.
Section 5.3Interpretation. The headings of the sections and other subdivisions of this Guarantee are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
Section 5.4Related Document Each party agrees that this is a "FleetCo Related Document" for the purposes of the definition in the Master Definitions and Constructions Agreement.
5



Section 5.5Legal Fees. Hertz agrees to pay all reasonable legal fees and disbursements and all other reasonable and actual costs and expenses which may be incurred by the Beneficiaries, the FleetCo Security Trustee or the Issuer Security Trustee in the enforcement of this Guarantee.
Section 5.6No Set-off. The obligations of Hertz under this Guarantee shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defence based upon any related or unrelated claim which Hertz may now or hereafter have against any Beneficiary. By acceptance of this Guarantee, each Beneficiary shall be deemed to have waived any right to setoff, combine, consolidate or otherwise appropriate and apply (i) any assets of Hertz at any time held by such Beneficiary or (ii) any indebtedness or other liabilities at any time owing by such Beneficiary to Hertz, as the case may be, against, or on account of, any obligations or liabilities owed by Hertz to a Beneficiary under this Guarantee.
Section 5.7Currency of Payment. Any payment to be made by Hertz shall be made in the same currency as designated for payment in the applicable Related Document and such designation of the currency of payment is of the essence.
Section 5.8Binding Effect; Assignability; Amendment. This Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Beneficiaries and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Hertz may not (i) assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein, or (ii) amend this Guarantee, in each case, without the express prior written consent of the Required Noteholders, the FleetCo Security Trustee and the Issuer Security Trustee. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation, other conveyance, or amendment by Hertz without the prior express written consent of the Required Noteholders, the FleetCo Security Trustee and the Issuer Security Trustee shall be void.
The FleetCo Security Trustee and Issuer Security Trustee may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or interests herein (including any rights it may have to exercise remedies hereunder) to any Person without the prior written consent of Hertz, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
The FleetCos may not assign any of their rights and obligations hereunder or interests herein (including any rights it may have to exercise remedies hereunder) to any Person without the prior written consent of Hertz (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Required Noteholders, the FleetCo Security Trustee and the Issuer Security Trustee, provided that each FleetCo may assign for security purposes all or any of its rights hereunder as security for the repayment of the FleetCo Secured Obligations to the FleetCo Security Trustee, acting for itself and on behalf of the FleetCo Secured Parties.
Section 5.9No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Beneficiary, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Hertz of any provision of this Guarantee shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Beneficiaries thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Hertz contained in this Guarantee, and no breach or default by Hertz hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Beneficiaries unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the FleetCo Security Trustee and directed to Hertz specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Beneficiaries under this Guarantee shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Beneficiaries may have under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.
Section 5.10Issuer Security Trustee and FleetCo Security Trustee. Each of the Issuer Security Trustee and FleetCo Security Trustee has agreed to become a party to this Guarantee solely for the better enforcement and preservation of its rights, to receive the benefit of the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other obligations and to agree amendments to this Guarantee. Neither the Issuer Security Trustee nor the FleetCo Security Trustee shall by doing so assume any
6



obligation or incur any liability of any kind to any party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Guarantee, in acting under and in accordance with this Guarantee, the Issuer Security Trustee and FleetCo Security Trustee are entitled to seek instructions in accordance with the provisions of the Related Documents and at any time, and where it so acts or refrains from acting on instructions, the Issuer Security Trustee and FleetCo Security Trustee shall not incur any liability to any person for so acting or refraining from acting.
Section 5.11Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate such provision to the extent it is not prohibited or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction, nor invalidate the remaining provisions hereof or thereof.

(d)Lease Vehicle Purchases and Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules
(i)Each Lessee may from time to time request that the Lessor acquires vehicles for the purpose of leasing such vehicles in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which request may be amended or cancelled in such Lessee’s sole discretion before the delivery of the relevant Vehicle provided that no French Leasing Company Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, and provided further that the Lessor shall only be obliged to accept such amendment or cancellation subject to being able to make an amendment or cancellation to the corresponding vehicle order under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement or Sale Agreement and, to the extent that the Lessor will incur any Liability as a result thereof and the relevant Manufacturer or Dealer confirms that such a Liability is due, the Lessor having received full payment from the Lessee for any such Liabilities). The Lessor may, in its absolute discretion, and provided that the conditions precedent in Clause 2.1(c) (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) above have been satisfied or waived by the French Security Trustee, order the relevant vehicles in accordance with the terms of the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement.

The Lessor shall not incur any Liability of any type whatsoever if it does not or cannot accept any order of new Vehicle (including if the conditions precedent set out under Clause 2.1(c) (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) are satisfied).
(iii)Before making any order of Vehicle, the French Servicer shall verify that the conditions precedent set out under Clause 2.1(c) (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) are or will be complied with.

4
WEIL:




such delivery of a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule shall be deemed hereunder to constitute a representation and warranty by such Lessee, to and in favor of the Lessor, that each condition precedent to the leasing of the Lease Vehicles identified in such Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule has been satisfied as of the date on which the relevant Lease Vehicles were ordered and delivered.
(v)During the period from the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date in respect of a Lease Vehicle to the date that such Lease Vehicle is first identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule, the existence of a lease between the Lessor and a Lessee in respect of that Lease Vehicle shall be evidenced and determined by reference to the records of the Lessor (which such records shall be held to be correct for all purposes unless manifestly erroneous).
(vi)The Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule for each Lease Vehicle to be leased hereunder on the Closing Date shall be substantially in the form as set out in Schedule VIII (Form of Initial Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule).
(e)The Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor in respect of any Liabilities which the Lessor may suffer in circumstances where the Lessor has ordered a Vehicle or Vehicles in accordance with the terms of the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and (i) the Lessee has cancelled or amended the aforementioned Vehicle or Vehicles and/or (ii) the Lessor has accepted an order but subsequently is made aware of an event which would give rise to a Master Lease Termination Notice being served and rejects such notice, and/or (iii) a lease is not entered into by the date on which the Lessor pays the purchase price for such Vehicle or Vehicles (including, without limitation, where a lease is not entered into because the conditions precedent in Clause 2.1(c) (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) above are not satisfied).
(f)Lease Vehicle Acceptance or Non-conforming Lease Vehicle Rejection.
(i)Subject to Sub-Clause 2.1(f)(ii) below, with respect to any vehicle identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule and made available for lease by the Lessor to any Lessee, such Lessee shall have the right to inspect such vehicle within five (5) days of receipt (or such shorter period as may be contemplated under the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) (the “Inspection Period”) of such vehicle and either accept or, if such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, reject such vehicle; provided that, such Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted such vehicle as a Lease Vehicle unless it has notified the Lessor in writing that such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle during the Inspection Period (the delivery date of such written notice, the “Rejection Date”). If such Lessee timely notifies the Lessor that such Vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, then such Non-conforming Lease Vehicle with respect to which such Lessee has so notified the Lessor shall be a “Rejected Vehicle”.
(ii)Notwithstanding Sub-Clause 2.1(f)(i) above, a Lessee will only be entitled to reject any Lease Vehicle delivered to it by or on behalf of the Lessor (A) if the Lessor is itself entitled to reject such Lease Vehicle under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement pursuant to which such Vehicle was ordered and (B) subject to the same conditions (to the extent applicable) as to rejection as may be applicable to the Lessor under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement in respect of such Vehicle.
(iii)The Lessor shall cause the Servicer to dispose of a Rejected Vehicle described in sub-paragraph (i) above (including by returning such Rejected Vehicle to the seller thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) in accordance with Sub-Clause 6.1 (Servicer functions with respect to Lease Vehicle Returns, Disposition and Invoicing).

2.2Certain Transfers
(a)Sales to Lessee. Unless a Lease Event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessor and the relevant Lessee may from time to time, in their absolute discretion, agree for the Lessor to sell a Lease Vehicle during such Lease Vehicle’s Vehicle Term to the relevant Lessee for an amount equal to the net book value under GAAP of such Lease Vehicle.
(b)Intra-Lease Transfers. From time to time, a particular Lessee (the “Transferor Lessee”) may desire to cease leasing a Lease Vehicle hereunder and another Lessee (the “Transferee Lessee”) may desire to commence leasing such Lease Vehicle hereunder. Upon delivery by such Lessees to the Lessor of written notice identifying by VIN each Lease Vehicle to be so transferred from such Transferor Lessee to such Transferee Lessee (such notice, an “Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule”), each Lease Vehicle identified in such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule shall cease to be leased by the Transferor Lessee and shall contemporaneously commence being leased to the Transferee Lessee, provided that such transfer does not result in the breach of any prescribed limits relating to Lease Vehicles set out in the Related Documents. Each Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of any Lease Vehicle from one Lessee to another Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, such Transferor Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has in such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Agreement. Each Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by either the applicable Transferor Lessee or the applicable Transferee Lessee or on behalf of either such party by any agent or designee of such party. In accordance with article 1216 of the French Code civil, the Lessor hereby agrees in advance to any transfer of lease agreement between a Transferor Lessee and a Transferee Lessee.
2.3Transfer of Risks
As of the relevant Vehicle Lease Commencement Date, and until the later of:
(a)the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date; or
(b)such time at which the Lessee and the relevant sub-lessee (if any) no longer possesses such Lease Vehicle and the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such Lease Vehicle has been transferred to any third party,
the Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such Lease Vehicle, however caused or occasioned, and all other risks and liabilities relating to the Lease Vehicle.

(b)Lessee Obligation to Return.
(i)Each Lessee shall return each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee on or prior to such Lease Vehicle’s French Master Lease Scheduled Expiration Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by

With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, the Lessor shall on the date specified in Sub-Clause 2.5(d) (Timing of Redesignations) redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle, if:
(i)a Manufacturer Event of Default is continuing with respect to the Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle as of such date; or
(ii)as of any such date occurring after the Minimum Program Term End Date with respect to such Lease Vehicle, such Lease Vehicle was returned as of such date pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturer Program with respect to such Lease Vehicle, the Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle would not be obligated to pay a repurchase price for such Lease Vehicle, or guarantee the disposition proceeds to be received for such Vehicle, in each case in an amount at least equal to (1) the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle, as of such date, minus (2) the Final Base Rent that would be payable in respect of such Lease Vehicle, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date for such Lease Vehicle, minus (3) the Excess Mileage Charges with respect to such Lease Vehicle, that would be applicable as of such date, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date, minus (4) the Excess Damage Charges with respect to such Lease Vehicle, that would be applicable as of such date, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date, minus (5) the Pre-VLCD Program Vehicle Depreciation Amount paid or payable with respect to such Lease Vehicle, as of such date, minus (6) the Program Vehicle Depreciation Assumption True-Up Amount paid or payable with respect to such Lease Vehicle, as of such date.

(c)Non-Program Vehicle to Program Vehicle Redesignations. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Non-Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, if such Lease Vehicle was previously designated as a Program Vehicle, then such Lessee may redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle upon written notice to the Lessor (which written notice may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by such Lessee or on its behalf by any agent or designee of such Lessee); provided that, such Lessee may not redesignate any such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle if such Lease Vehicle would then be required to be redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Sub-Clause 2.5(a) (Mandatory Program Vehicle to

WEIL:




Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) after designating such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle.
(d)Timing of Redesignations. With respect to any redesignation to be effected pursuant to Sub-Clause 2.5(a) (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations), such redesignation shall occur as of the first calendar day of the calendar month following the date on which the applicable event or condition described in Sub-Clause 2.5(a)(i) or (ii) (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) occurs.

(i)subject to the terms of the French Security Trust Deed and the relevant French Security Document, the French Security Trustee shall have all the rights powers, privileges and remedies of the Lessor hereunder;
(ii)upon the delivery by the French Security Trustee of any notice to such Lessee stating that a Lease Event of Default or a Liquidation Event has occurred, such Lessee acknowledges that pursuant to this Agreement, it has agreed to make all payments of Rent hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) directly to the French Security Trustee for deposit in the French Transaction Account.
13.2Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement
The Lessor shall have the right to finance the acquisition and ownership of Lease Vehicles under this Agreement by, without limitation, selling or assigning its right, title and interest in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in moneys due from any Lessee and any third party under this Agreement, to the French Secured Parties under the French Security Documents; provided, however, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of the Lessees in the Lease Vehicles, including but not limited to the Lessees’ right of quiet and peaceful possession of such Lease Vehicles as set forth in Sub-Clause 5.3 (Non-Disturbance) hereof, and under this Agreement.

Lease Vehicle, that such Lease Vehicle is in good order and condition and is of the manufacture, design, specifications and capacity selected by such Lessee, that such Lessee is satisfied that the same is suitable for this use. Each Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor is not a Manufacturer or agent thereof or primarily engaged in the sale or distribution of Lease Vehicles. Each Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor makes no representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied in any such case, as to the fitness, safeness, design, merchantability, condition, quality, durability, suitability, capacity or workmanship of the Lease Vehicles in any respect or in connection with or for any purposes or uses of any Lessee and makes no representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied in any such case, that the Lease Vehicles will satisfy the requirements of any law or any contract specification, and as between the Lessor and each Lessee, such Lessee agrees to bear all such risks at its sole cost and expense.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any French Related Document, only the French Security Trustee may pursue the remedies available under the general law or under the French Security Trust Deed or the French Security Documents to enforce the French Security and no other Person shall be entitled to proceed directly against French FleetCo in respect thereof (unless the French Security Trustee, having become bound to proceed in accordance with the terms of the French Related Documents, fails or neglects to do so).

(b)The Parties, other than French FleetCo, shall not have any liability for the obligations of French FleetCo and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the giving of a guarantee, an indemnity or the assumption of a similar obligation by any of such other Parties in respect of the performance by French FleetCo of its obligations.
The provisions of this Sub-Clause 15.2 (Obligations as Corporate Obligations) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
15.3Limited Recourse in respect of French FleetCo
Each party to this Agreement agrees with and acknowledges to each of French FleetCo and the French Security Trustee that, notwithstanding any other provision of any French Related Document, all obligations of French FleetCo to such entity are limited in recourse as set out below:
(c)    Priority of payments. All payments to be made by French FleetCo hereunder to any party will be made only from and to the extent of the sums payable to such party in accordance with the terms of the French Priority of Payments. Accordingly, each party expressly and irrevocably waives any remedy against French FleetCo (acting in whatever capacity) in connection with the payment of any amounts that may be due to it under any Related Document otherwise than up to the amounts payable to it in accordance with the terms of the French Priority of Payments;
(d)    Deferral. Any liability remaining unpaid after application of the French Priority of Payments shall automatically be deferred and be payable (exigible) on the immediately following Payment Date (except if a different rule in relation to deferred payments is set out in the agreement from which the relevant unpaid liability arises) until the Legal Final Payment Date, in accordance with the French Priority of Payments applicable on that day but in priority to the amounts due on that date and having the same or similar ranking as the deferred amount (unless no such liability as the deferred liability is due on that day in which case such deferred liability will be paid in priority to all other liabilities due on such date), commencing with the oldest deferred amount outstanding and progressing to each next older outstanding deferred amount until such time as no deferred amount remains outstanding.
(e)Insufficient Recoveries. If, or to the extent that, after allocation of all amounts in accordance with the foregoing and, as the case may be, after the French Collateral has been as fully as practicable realised and the proceeds thereof have been applied in accordance with the French Priority of Payments, such proceeds are insufficient to pay or discharge amounts due from French FleetCo to the French Secured Parties or any party to this Agreement in full for any reason, French FleetCo will have no liability to pay or otherwise make good any such insufficiency.
The provisions of this Sub-Clause 15.3 (Limited recourse in respect of French FleetCo) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Irrespective of whether or not this Sub-Clause 15.3 (Limited recourse in respect of French FleetCo) is incorporated into any other Related Document, the Parties agree that this Sub-Clause 15.3 (Limited recourse in respect of French FleetCo) shall apply to all Related Documents to which the French FleetCo is a party to the fullest extent possible.

SCHEDULE III
REQUIRED CONTRACTUAL CRITERIA FOR VEHICLE PURCHASING AGREEMENTS

1PROVISIONS TO BE APPLIED TO ALL VEHICLE PURCHASING AGREEMENTS TO BE ENTERED INTO BY FRENCH FLEETCO
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in substance satisfy the following contractual requirements:
1.1Parties
Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which French FleetCo is a party may include contractual terms permitting the accession of French OpCo (or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo) as an additional purchaser/seller.
If any Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that French OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo) may purchase/sell Vehicles in accordance with the terms of such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, the obligations of French FleetCo and French OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo, as applicable) under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in all cases need to be several (non solidaires), and provide that French FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of French OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as applicable).
Alternatively, existing Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which French OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo) is a party may be amended to provide that French FleetCo may accede to such Vehicle Purchasing Agreements (satisfying the French Required Contractual Criteria) and that French FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of French OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation).
1.2Separate obligations
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will satisfy the following criteria:
(a)French FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of French OpCo (in its capacity as guarantor, purchaser of vehicles or otherwise) thereunder; and
(b)to the extent that French OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo) enters into or is a party to any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreements with the same Manufacturer /Dealer (each such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement to which French OpCo or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo is a party being a “French OpCo Specific Agreement”), French FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of French OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as the case may be) under such French OpCo Specific Agreement.
1.3Volume Rebates etc.
A Vehicle Purchasing Agreement may provide that any bonus payment or other amount (howsoever described) payable or to be made available by a Manufacturer /Dealer as a result of French FleetCo (or French FleetCo and/or French OpCo (and/or any other relevant Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation) under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and/or any French OpCo Specific Agreement, as applicable) meeting any minimum vehicle purchase level in that relevant year, be payable to or for the account of French OpCo (rather than French FleetCo). For the avoidance of doubt, French FleetCo may however take the benefit of reductions applied to purchase prices applicable to vehicles as a result of any such minimum vehicle purchase levels being reached.

WEIL:


Notwithstanding the foregoing where a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that in the event that any minimum vehicle purchase level in the relevant year is not met:
(a)any bonus, payment, benefit or reductions applied to purchase prices on Vehicles purchased by French FleetCo or other amount (howsoever described) is recoverable by or repayable to a Manufacturer y/Dealer; or
(b)any penalty or other amount (howsoever described) is payable to such Manufacturer /Dealer,
such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement shall provide that, in each case, such amounts will only be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from French OpCo or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo.
1.4Confidentiality and public disclosure of terms of Vehicle Purchasing
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will need to be disclosed to the French Security Trustee and possibly other Enhancement Providers.
1.5Non-petition
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable and unconditional covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer /Dealer that such Manufacturer /Dealer shall not be entitled and shall not initiate or take any step in connection with:
(a)liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency (or any similar or analogous proceedings or circumstances) of French FleetCo; or
(b)the appointment of an insolvency officer in relation to French FleetCo or any of its assets whatsoever,
provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling eighteen months and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
1.6Limited recourse
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer /Dealer that such Manufacturer /Dealer shall not be entitled to, and shall not, initiate or take any step in connection with the commencement of legal proceedings (howsoever described) to recover any amount owed to it by French FleetCo under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement; this covenant will be unconditional except that the relevant Manufacturer /Dealer may commence legal proceedings to the extent that the only relief sought against French FleetCo pursuant to such proceedings is the re-possession of relevant Vehicle(s) pursuant to applicable retention of title provisions provided for under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling eighteen months and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
2PROVISIONS TO BE APPLIED TO ALL MANUFACTURER PROGRAMS TO BE ENTERED INTO BY A FLEETCO
Each Manufacturer Program will in substance satisfy the following additional contractual requirements:
2.1Assignment and transfers

WEIL:


Each Manufacturer Program will contain terms that permit French FleetCo to assign by way of security or pledge any of its rights under such agreement to the French Secured Parties. Any such right to grant security to the French Secured Parties must be unrestricted. Unless pursuant to an Intra-Group Transfer (as defined below) by a Manufacturer (which shall not require consent from French FleetCo), each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer may not assign, transfer or novate its obligations under such agreement without the prior written consent of French FleetCo. French FleetCo shall not provide such consent unless the Manufacturer /Dealer enters into a guarantee materially in the form set out in Schedule 3 (Draft Transfer and Guarantee Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Programs) or accepts joint and several liability in respect of the transferred obligations substantially on the terms set out in Schedule IV (Draft Transfer and Joint and Several Liability Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Programs). For the purposes hereof, an “Intra-Group Transfer” means an assignment, transfer or novation by a Manufacturer of its obligations under a Manufacturer Program to an Affiliate of such Manufacturer which would satisfy the definition of “Investment Grade Manufacturer” upon such Affiliate becoming a Manufacturer. For the avoidance of doubt, Manufacturers /Dealers may assign their rights under Manufacturer Programs without the prior written consent of French FleetCo.
2.2Set-off
Each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Manufacturer Program or under applicable law to set-off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by French FleetCo in relation to Vehicles ordered by (but not delivered to) French FleetCo by such Manufacturer/Dealer under that Manufacturer Program, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to French FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program, provided that, each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement entered into or renewed on or after the Closing Date will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement or under applicable law to set-off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by French FleetCo under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to French FleetCo under that Manufacturer Program or any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, save and except in relation to any Manufacturer Programme with Daimler AG, and/or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or any corporation into which such entities may be merged or converted or with which they may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation of such entities (“Daimler Entities”) or any Dealers or agents (or Affiliates or successors thereof) selling Vehicles manufactured or purchased from the Daimler Entities if such Manufacturer Programme does not provide for waiver of set-off in accordance with paragraph 2.2 (Set-off) hereof, in which case such amounts may be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from French FleetCo.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Manufacturer /Dealers will be entitled to set off any amount owed by French FleetCo in respect of turn-back related damages against any amount of Repurchase Price owed by it to French FleetCo. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to procure that each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer /Dealer expressly waives all rights to set-off (however arising, including legal set-off) any amount:
(a)owed to it by French OpCo under such Manufacturer Program; or
(b)owed to it by French OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo) under any other agreement (including any French OpCo Specific Agreement),
in any such case against amounts owed by the Manufacturer /Dealer to French FleetCo under the relevant Manufacturer Program.
2.3Manufacturer’s/Dealer’s obligations to be ‘unconditional’

WEIL:


No Manufacturer Program may contain terms that provide that the Repurchase Obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer are conditional in any respect other than, in relation to (a) a force majeure event1 or (b) compliance with applicable turn-back procedures (including any Programme Minimum Term or Programme Maximum Term) and/or (c) turn-back standards in relation to the condition of the relevant Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, no Manufacturer Program may provide that the obligations of the Manufacturer /Dealer thereunder are conditional upon:
(a)any minimum number of Vehicles being purchased (i) by French FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program; and/or (ii) by French OpCo or any other Person under such Manufacturer Program or any French OpCo Specific Agreement; or
(b)the solvency of French FleetCo; or
(c)the solvency of any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than French FleetCo.
2.4Termination provisions
To the extent that a Manufacturer/Dealer requires express termination provisions to be included in any Manufacturer Program, such Manufacturer Program may provide that a Manufacturer /Dealer is entitled (upon expiry of a predetermined notice period or otherwise) to terminate such agreement before its scheduled expiry date upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g. liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, failure to pay, late payment, partial payment, breach or serious breach of obligations, or any similar or analogous events); provided always that the Manufacturer/Dealer shall not under any circumstances have the right to terminate its obligations (subject to and in accordance with any eligibility criteria and Programme Minimum Term or Programme Maximum Term) to repurchase (or, if applicable to perform its guaranteed obligations thereunder) in respect of any Vehicle shipped to French FleetCo or its order prior to the termination of such Manufacturer Program.
2.5Retention of title in favour of French FleetCo
The Manufacturer Program entered into with the Top Two Non-Investment Grade Manufacturers will, where credit terms are made available to the relevant Manufacturer /Dealer (in relation to the payment by it of applicable repurchase prices for Vehicles) provide that title to the relevant Vehicle will remain with French FleetCo until the sale proceeds are received by French FleetCo. In practice French FleetCo may return the registration documents for a Vehicle when it is turned back to such Top Two Non-Investment Grade Manufacturers.

1 For these purposes, a 'force majeure event' will be constituted by any event which (a) was not foreseen by the parties, (b) is outside their control and could not have been avoided by taking due care or by compliance in all material respects with obligations under the VPA and (c) prevents performance of the obligations of one or more parties under the contract.

WEIL:

2.2.4Lease Vehicle Purchases and Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules

The Lessor may, in its absolute discretion, and provided that the conditions precedent in Clause 2.2.3 (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) above have been satisfied or waived by the Dutch Security Trustee, order the relevant vehicles in accordance with the terms of the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement.
(B)Any order of Vehicles will be made by Dutch Opco acting in its capacity as Dutch Servicer on behalf of Dutch Fleetco. The Lessor shall not incur any Liability of any type whatsoever if it does not or cannot accept any order of new Vehicle (including if the conditions precedent set out under Clause 2.2.3 (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) are satisfied).
A37279892
4
WEIL:


(C)Before making any order of Vehicle, the Dutch Servicer shall verify that the conditions precedent set out under Clause 2.2.3 (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) are or will be complied with. Any waiver of a condition precedent will require the prior written consent of the Dutch Security Trustee.
(D)Each Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lessor one or more schedules identifying the vehicles which the Lessor has acquired pursuant to a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement following a request by such Lessee, which schedules shall include the Basic Lease Vehicle Information (each such schedule, a “Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule”). Each Lessee hereby agrees that each such delivery of a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule shall be deemed hereunder to constitute a representation and warranty by such Lessee, to and in favour of the Lessor, that each condition precedent to the leasing of the Lease Vehicles identified in such Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule has been satisfied as of the date on which the relevant Lease Vehicles were ordered and delivered.
(E)During the period from the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date in respect of a Lease Vehicle to the date that such Lease Vehicle is first identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule, the existence of a lease between the Lessor and a Lessee in respect of that Lease Vehicle shall be evidenced and determined by reference to the records of the Lessor (which such records shall be held to be correct for all purposes unless manifestly erroneous).
(F)The Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule for each Lease Vehicle to be leased hereunder on the Closing Date shall be substantially in the form as set out in Schedule 6 (Form of Initial Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule).
2.2.5The Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor in respect of any Liabilities which the Lessor may suffer in circumstances where the Lessor has ordered a Vehicle or Vehicles in accordance with the terms of the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and (i) the Lessee has cancelled or amended the aforementioned Vehicle or Vehicles and/or (ii) the Lessor has accepted an order but subsequently is made aware of an event which would give rise to a Master Lease Termination Notice being served and rejects such notice, and/or (iii) a lease is not entered into by the date on which the Lessor pays the purchase price for such Vehicle or Vehicles (including, without limitation, where a lease is not entered into because the conditions precedent in Clause 2.2.3 (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) above are not satisfied).
2.2.6Lease Vehicle Acceptance or Non-conforming Lease Vehicle Rejection
(A)Subject to paragraph (B) below, with respect to any vehicle identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule and made available for lease by the Lessor to any Lessee, such Lessee shall have the right to inspect such vehicle within five days of receipt (or such shorter period as may be contemplated under the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) (the “Inspection Period”) of such vehicle and either accept or, if such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, reject such vehicle, provided that such Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted such vehicle as a Lease Vehicle unless it has notified the Lessor in writing that such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle during the Inspection Period (the delivery date of such written notice, the “Rejection
A37279892
5
WEIL:


Date”). If such Lessee timely notifies the Lessor that such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, then such Non-conforming Lease Vehicle with respect to which such Lessee has so notified the Lessor shall be a “Rejected Vehicle”.
(B)Notwithstanding paragraph (A) above, a Lessee will only be entitled to reject any Lease Vehicle delivered to it by or on behalf of the Lessor (A) if the Lessor is itself entitled to reject such Lease Vehicle under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement pursuant to which such Vehicle was ordered and (B) subject to the same conditions (to the extent applicable) as to rejection as may be applicable to the Lessor under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement in respect of such Vehicle.
(C)The Lessor shall cause the Servicer to dispose of a Rejected Vehicle described in paragraph (A) above (including by returning such Rejected Vehicle to the seller thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) in accordance with Clause 6.2 (Servicer functions with respect to Lease Vehicle Returns, Disposition and Invoicing).
2.3Certain Transfers
2.3.1Sales to Lessee. The Lessor may sell a Lease Vehicle during such Lease Vehicle’s Vehicle Term to the relevant Lessee for an amount equal to the net book value under GAAP of such Lease Vehicle.
2.3.2Intra-Lease Transfers. From time to time, a particular Lessee (the “Transferor Lessee”) may desire to cease leasing a Lease Vehicle hereunder and another Lessee (the “Transferee Lessee”) may desire to commence leasing such Lease Vehicle hereunder. Upon delivery by such Lessees to the Lessor of written notice identifying by VIN each Lease Vehicle to be so transferred from such Transferor Lessee to such Transferee Lessee (such notice, an “Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule”), each Lease Vehicle identified in such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule shall cease to be leased by the Transferor Lessee and shall contemporaneously commence being leased to the Transferee Lessee, provided that such transfer does not result in the breach of any prescribed limits relating to Lease Vehicles set out in the Related Documents. Each Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of any Lease Vehicle from one Lessee to another Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, such Transferor Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has in such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Agreement. Each Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by either the applicable Transferor Lessee or the applicable Transferee Lessee or on behalf of either such party by any agent or designee of such party.
2.4[Reserved]
2.5Return
2.5.1Lessee Right to Return. Any Lessee may return any Lease Vehicle (other than any Lease Vehicle that has experienced a Casualty or become an Ineligible Vehicle) then leased by such Lessee at any time prior to such Lease Vehicle’s Maximum Lease Termination Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by the Servicer, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the
A37279892

WEIL:


Vehicle Term for such Lease Vehicle will continue until the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date thereof, notwithstanding the prior return of such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Clause 2.5.1 (Lessee Right to Return).
2.5.2Lessee Obligation to Return.
(A)Each Lessee shall return each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee on or prior to such Lease Vehicle’s Maximum Lease Termination Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by the Servicer (taking into account transportation costs and expected realisable disposition proceeds).
(B)Each Lessee shall return each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee upon the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date to the Lessor unless a Disposition Date has occurred in respect of such Lease Vehicle.
2.6Redesignation of Vehicles
2.6.1Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Potential Lease Event of Default or Lease Event of Default, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Potential Lease Event of Default or Lease Event of Default, as applicable, ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Potential Lease Event of Default or Lease Event of Default, as applicable, will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Dutch Related Documents.
9.2Effect of Lease Event of Default
If any Lease Event of Default set forth in Clause 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 (Events of Default) shall occur and be continuing, the Lessee’s right of possession with respect to any Lease Vehicles leased hereunder shall be subject to the Lessor’s option to terminate such right as set forth in Clause 9.3 (Rights of Lessor Upon Lease Event of Default) and 9.4 (Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants).

All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of any such right or power shall remain subject to each condition expressly specified in any Related Document with respect to such exercise.

If any part of this Agreement is not valid or enforceable according to law, all other parts will remain enforceable.

27Third-Party Rights
This Agreement is made for the benefit of the Issuer Security Trustee (and the Noteholders and their assigns) for no consideration pursuant to Section 6:253 (4) of the Dutch Civil Code.

Schedule 3
Required Contractual Criteria for Vehicle Purchasing Agreements
1Provisions to be applied to all Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to be entered into by Dutch Fleetco
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in substance satisfy the following contractual requirements:
1.1Parties
Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which Dutch FleetCo is a party may include contractual terms permitting the accession of Dutch OpCo (or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) as an additional purchaser/seller.
If any Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that Dutch OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) may purchase/sell Vehicles in accordance with the terms of such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, the obligations of Dutch FleetCo and Dutch OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo, as applicable) under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in all cases need to be several, and provide that Dutch FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as applicable).
Alternatively, existing Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which Dutch OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) is a party may be amended to provide that Dutch FleetCo may accede to such Vehicle Purchasing Agreements (satisfying the Dutch Required Contractual Criteria) and that Dutch FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation).
1.2Separate obligations
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will satisfy the following criteria:
(a)Dutch FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (in its capacity as guarantor, purchaser of vehicles or otherwise) thereunder; and
(b)to the extent that Dutch OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) enters into or is a party to any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreements with the same Manufacturer/Dealer (each such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement to which Dutch OpCo or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo is a party being a “Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement”), Dutch FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as the case may be) under such Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement.
1.3Volume rebates etc.
A Vehicle Purchasing Agreement may provide that any bonus payment or other amount (howsoever described) payable or to be made available by a Manufacturer/Dealer as a result of Dutch FleetCo (or Dutch FleetCo and/or Dutch OpCo (and/or any other relevant Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation) under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and/or any Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement, as applicable) meeting any minimum vehicle purchase level in that relevant year, be payable to or for the account of Dutch OpCo (rather than Dutch FleetCo). For
A37279892
54
WEIL:


the avoidance of doubt, Dutch FleetCo may however take the benefit of reductions applied to purchase prices applicable to vehicles as a result of any such minimum vehicle purchase levels being reached.
Notwithstanding the foregoing where a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that in the event that any minimum vehicle purchase level in the relevant year is not met:
(a)any bonus, payment, benefit or reductions applied to purchase prices on Vehicles purchased by Dutch FleetCo or other amount (howsoever described) is recoverable by or repayable to a Manufacturer/Dealer; or
(b)any penalty or other amount (howsoever described) is payable to such Manufacturer/Dealer,
such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement shall provide that, in each case, such amounts will only be reclaimed from, payable by or otherwise recoverable from Dutch OpCo or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo.
1.4Confidentiality and public disclosure of terms of Vehicle Purchasing
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will need to be disclosed to the Dutch Security Trustee and possibly other providers of credit or liquidity enhancement to the Transaction.
1.5Non-petition
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable and unconditional covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer that such Manufacturer/Dealer shall not be entitled and shall not initiate or take any step in connection with:
(a)liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency (or any similar or analogous proceedings or circumstances) of Dutch FleetCo; or
(b)the appointment of an insolvency officer in relation to Dutch FleetCo or any of its assets whatsoever,
provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
1.6Limited recourse
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer that such Manufacturer/Dealer shall not be entitled to, and shall not, initiate or take any step in connection with the commencement of legal proceedings (howsoever described) to recover any amount owed to it by Dutch FleetCo under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement; this covenant will be unconditional except that the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer may commence legal proceedings to the extent that the only relief sought against Dutch FleetCo pursuant to such proceedings is the re-possession of relevant Vehicle(s) pursuant to applicable retention of title provisions provided for under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
A37279892
55
WEIL:


2Provisions to be applied to all Manufacturer Programs to be entered into by a FleetCo
Each Manufacturer Program will in substance satisfy the following additional contractual requirements:
2.1Assignment and transfers
Each Manufacturer Program will contain terms that permit Dutch FleetCo to assign by way of security or pledge any of its rights under such agreement to the Dutch Security Trustee. Any such right to grant security to the relevant Dutch Security Trustee must be unrestricted. Unless pursuant to an Intra-Group Transfer (as defined below) by a Manufacturer (which shall not require consent from Dutch FleetCo), each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer may not assign, transfer or novate its obligations under such agreement without the prior written consent of Dutch FleetCo. Dutch FleetCo shall not provide such consent unless the Manufacturer/Dealer enters into a guarantee materially in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Draft Transfer and Joint and Several Liability Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Program) or accepts joint and several liability in respect of the transferred obligations substantially on the terms set out in Schedule 4 (Draft Transfer and Joint and Several Liability Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Program). For the purposes hereof, an “Intra-Group Transfer” means an assignment, transfer or novation by a Manufacturer of its obligations under a Manufacturer Program to an Affiliate of such Manufacturer which would satisfy the definition of “Investment Grade Manufacturer” upon such Affiliate becoming a Manufacturer. For the avoidance of doubt, Manufacturers /Dealers may assign their rights under Manufacturer Programs without the prior written consent of Dutch FleetCo.
2.2Set-off
Each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Manufacturer Program or under applicable law to set off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by Dutch FleetCo in relation to Vehicles ordered by (but not delivered to) Dutch FleetCo by such Manufacturer/Dealer under that Manufacturer Program, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Dutch FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program, provided that each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement entered into or renewed on or after the Closing Date will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement or under applicable law to set off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by Dutch FleetCo under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Dutch FleetCo under that Manufacturer Program or any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreement. Save and except in relation to any Manufacturer Program with Daimler AG, and/or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or any corporation into which such entities may be merged or converted or with which they may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation of such entities (“Daimler Entities”) or any Dealers or agents (or Affiliates or successors thereof) selling Vehicles manufactured or purchased from the Daimler Entities if such Manufacturer Program does not provide for waiver of set-off in accordance with this paragraph, in which case such amounts may be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from Dutch FleetCo.
A37279892
56
WEIL:


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manufacturer/Dealers will be entitled to set off any amount owed by Dutch FleetCo in respect of turn-back related damages against any amount of Repurchase Price owed by it to Dutch FleetCo. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to procure that each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives all rights to set-off (however arising) any amount:
(a)owed to it by Dutch OpCo under such Manufacturer Program; or
(b)owed to it by Dutch OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) under any other agreement (including any Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement),
in any such case against amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Dutch FleetCo under the relevant Manufacturer Program.
2.3Manufacturer’s/Dealer’s obligations to be ‘unconditional’
No Manufacturer Program may contain terms that provide that the Repurchase Obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer are conditional in any respect other than, in relation to (a) a force majeure event1 or (b) compliance with applicable turn-back procedures (including any Program Minimum Term or Program Maximum Term) and/or (c) turn-back standards in relation to the condition of the relevant Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, no Manufacturer Program may provide that the obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer thereunder are conditional upon:
(a)any minimum number of Vehicles being purchased: (i) by Dutch FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program; and/or (ii) by Dutch OpCo or any other Person under such Manufacturer Program or any Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement; or
(b)the solvency of Dutch FleetCo; or
(c)the solvency of any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo.
2.4Termination provisions
To the extent that a Manufacturer/Dealer requires express termination provisions to be included in any Manufacturer Program, such Manufacturer Program may provide that a Manufacturer/Dealer is entitled (upon expiry of a predetermined notice period or otherwise) to terminate such agreement before its scheduled expiry date upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g. liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, failure to pay, late payment, partial payment, breach or serious breach of obligations, or any similar or analogous events); provided always that the Manufacturer/Dealer shall not under any circumstances have the right to terminate its obligations (subject to and in accordance with any eligibility criteria and Program Minimum Term or Program Maximum Term) to repurchase (or, if applicable to perform its guaranteed obligations thereunder) in respect of any Vehicle shipped to Dutch FleetCo or its order prior to the termination of such Manufacturer Program.
2.5Retention of title in favour of Dutch FleetCo
The Manufacturer Program entered into with the Top Two Non-Investment Grade Manufacturers will, where credit terms are made available to the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer (in relation to the payment by it of applicable repurchase prices for Vehicles) provide that title
1    For these purposes, a “force majeure event” will be constituted by any event which (a) was not foreseen by the parties, (b) is outside their control and could not have been avoided by taking due care or by compliance in all material respects with obligations under the VPA and (c) prevents performance of the obligations of one or more parties under the contract.

If such Lessee rejects the vehicle, it shall notify the Lessor in writing that such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle during the Inspection Period (the delivery date of such written notice, the “Rejection Date”). If such Lessee timely notifies the Lessor that such Vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, then such Non-conforming Lease Vehicle with respect to which such Lessee has so notified the Lessor shall be a “Rejected Vehicle”.
(ii)Notwithstanding Sub-Clause 2.1(e)(i) above, a Lessee will be only entitled to reject any Vehicle delivered to it by or on behalf of the Lessor (A) if the Lessor is itself entitled to reject such Vehicle under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement pursuant to which such Vehicle was ordered and (B) subject to the same conditions (to the extent applicable) as to rejection as may be applicable to the Lessor under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement in respect of such Vehicle.

(g)Indemnity. Each Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor in respect of any Liabilities which the Lessor may suffer in circumstances where the Lessor has purchased a Vehicle or Vehicles under an Individual Purchase Agreement (as defined pursuant to the German Master Fleet Purchase Agreement) and a lease is not entered into by the date on which the Lessor pays the purchase price for such Vehicle or Vehicles (including, without limitation, where a lease is not entered into because the conditions precedent in Clause 2.1(c) (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Leased Vehicles) are not satisfied).
2.2Certain Transfers
(a)Sales to Lessee. The Lessor may sell a Lease Vehicle during such Lease Vehicle’s Vehicle Term to the relevant Lessee for an amount equal to the market value of such Lease Vehicle.
(b)Intra-Lease Transfers. From time to time, a particular Lessee (the “Transferor Lessee”) may desire to cease leasing a Lease Vehicle hereunder and another Lessee (the “Transferee Lessee”) may desire to commence leasing such Lease Vehicle hereunder. Upon delivery by such Lessees to the Lessor of written notice identifying by VIN each Lease Vehicle with respect to which the lease shall be so transferred from such Transferor Lessee to such Transferee Lessee (such notice, an “Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule”), each Lease Vehicle identified in such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule shall cease to be leased by the Transferor Lessee and shall contemporaneously commence being leased from the Lessor to the Transferee Lessee, provided that such transfer does not result in the breach of any prescribed limits relating to Lease Vehicles set out in the Related Documents. Each Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of the lease with respect to any Lease Vehicle from one Lessee to another Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, such Transferor Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has under such lease with respect to such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Agreement. Each Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by either the applicable Transferor Lessee or the applicable Transferee Lessee or on behalf of either such party by any agent or designee of such party, provided the Transferor Lessee and the Transferee Lessee shall have separately agreed to such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule and, with respect to such agreement, may not be represented by the same agent.

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

WEIL:


Clause 9.3 (Rights of Lessor Upon Lease Event of Default) and 9.4 (Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants).
9.3Rights of Lessor and German Security Trustee Upon Lease Event of Default
9.3.1If a Lease Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then the Lessor may proceed by appropriate court action or actions available to it under German law to enforce performance by any Lessee of the applicable covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Sub-Clause 9.5 (Measure of Damages).
9.3.2If any Lease Event of Default set forth in Sub-Clause 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 (Events of Default) shall occur and be continuing, then (i) subject to the terms of this Clause 9.3.2, the Lessor or the German Security Trustee (acting on the written instructions of the Issuer Security Trustee (whose instructions, in turn, have been obtained in accordance with the terms of the German Security Trust Deed and the Issuer Security Trust Deed)) shall have the right to serve notice on the other parties hereto whereby any Lessee’s leases hereunder of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased hereunder by such Lessee are terminated, a “Master Lease Termination Notice”, and following service of such notice shall have the right to (a) take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder the lease of which has been so terminated and (b) peaceably enter upon the premises of any Lessee or other premises where Lease Vehicles may be located and take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of any Lessee, or its successors or assigns, and to use such Lease Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever and (ii) the Lessees, at the request of the Lessor or the German Security Trustee (whose instructions, in turn, have been obtained in accordance with the terms of the German Security Trust Deed), shall return or cause to be returned all Lease Vehicles to and in accordance with the directions of the Lessor or the German Security Trustee as the case may be.
The Lessor may not validly serve a Master Lease Termination Notice unless such decision to serve the Master Lease Termination Notice has been approved by any independent director (as the term may be defined in the relevant constitutional documents of the Lessor) on the board of directors of the Lessor.
9.3.3Each and every power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor will be in addition to every other power and remedy hereby specifically given or now or hereafter available to it under German law and each and every power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor; provided, however, that the measure of damages recoverable against such Lessee will in any case be calculated in accordance with Sub-Clause 9.5 (Measure of Damages). All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of any such right or power shall remain subject to each condition expressly specified in any Related Document with respect to such exercise. Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to any Lessee will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of such Lessee. The Lessor’s acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not alter or affect the Lessor’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein.
9.4Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants
(a)If a Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the German Security Trustee and the Issuer Security Trustee shall have the rights against each Lessee and the German Collateral provided in the German Security Trust Deed and Issuer Security Trust Deed, upon a Liquidation Event, including, in each case, the right to serve a Master Lease Termination Notice on the other parties hereto and following service of such notice shall have the right (i) to take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder the lease of which has been terminated and (ii) to peaceably enter upon the premises of any Lessee or other premises where Lease Vehicles may be located and take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of any Lessee, or its successors or assigns, and to use such Lease Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever.

(c)Notwithstanding the exercise of any rights or remedies pursuant to this Sub-Clause 9.4 (Liquidation Event and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants), the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from such Lessee any and all amounts (for the avoidance of doubt, as limited by Sub-Clause 9.5 (Measure of Damages)) as may be then due.
(d)In addition, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Lessor shall have all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims vis-a-vis each Lessee, necessary or desirable to allow the German Security Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims given to the German Security Trustee pursuant to Sub-Clause 10.2 (Rights of the German Security Trustee upon Amortization Event or Certain Other Events of Default) of the German Facility Agreement, and each Lessee acknowledges that it has hereby granted to the Lessor all such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lessor to the German Security Trustee pursuant to Clause 10 of the German Facility Agreement and that the German Security Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of all such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims.

9.5Measure of Damages
If a Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event occurs and the Lessor or the German Security Trustee exercises the remedies granted to the Lessor or the German Security Trustee under Sub-Clause 8.7 (Preservation of rights), this Clause 9 (Default and Remedies Therefor) or Sub-Clause 10.2 of the German Facility Agreement, the amount that the Lessor shall be permitted to recover from any Lessee as payment shall be equal to:

(iii)the failure of the Servicer to make any payment when due from it hereunder or under any of the other German Related Documents or to deposit any German Collections received by it into the German Collection Account when required under the German Related Documents and, in each case, unless such failure is as a result of an administrative or technical error in such case payment has been made within three (3) Business Days;

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

1.2Confidentiality
(a)Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will provide that, subject only as provided in sub-paragraph (b) below, none of German FleetCo, German OpCo or the Supplier may disclose the terms of such agreement to any third party (other than their Affiliates, agents and professional advisors, and the agents and professional advisors of their Affiliates) without the prior written consent of:

For the avoidance of doubt, German FleetCo may however take the benefit of reductions applied to purchase prices applicable to vehicles as a result of any such minimum vehicle purchase levels being reached.
Notwithstanding the foregoing where a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that in the event that any minimum vehicle purchase level in the relevant year is not met:

1.5Limited recourse
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable and unconditional covenant and undertaking given by the relevant Supplier that, until 01.01.2020, such Supplier shall not take any step for any legal proceedings to recover any amount owed to it by German FleetCo under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, provided that the aforementioned limitations shall not apply in respect of:

Material contractual obligations (vertragswesentliche Pflichten) are any obligations whose fulfilment is necessary for the proper execution of the contract and whose observance contractual partners regularly rely upon; and
(b)legal proceedings against German FleetCo to the extent that the only relief sought against German FleetCo pursuant to such proceedings is the re-possession of a Relevant Vehicle pursuant to applicable retention of title provisions provided for under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement.

WEIL:


1.6Assignment

The right of any party to terminate any Vehicle Purchasing Agreement for just cause (Kündigung aus wichtigem Grund) shall remain unaffected.
2PROVISIONS TO BE APPLIED TO ALL MANUFACTURER PROGRAMS TO BE ENTERED INTO BY A GERMAN FLEETCO
Each Manufacturer Program will in substance satisfy the following additional contractual requirements:
2.1Set-off
(a)Subject to paragraph 2.1(b) below, Manufacturer Programs may provide that the Supplier may set off amounts owed by it to German FleetCo against amounts owed to it by German FleetCo or by German OpCo under that Manufacturer Program or any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreement which have been finally adjudicated (rechtskräftig festgestellt) or which are uncontested (unbestritten) by German FleetCo or German OpCo, respectively.
(b)Each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Supplier may not, however, set off any other amounts owed to it by German OpCo (including unpaid Initial Purchase Price in relation to Vehicles, including Relevant Vehicles, delivered to or to the order of German OpCo, or ordered by the German OpCo) against amounts owed by the Supplier to German FleetCo (in particular, any amounts in respect of the Repurchase Price) under that Manufacturer Program or any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, save and except in relation to any Manufacturer Program with Daimler AG and/or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or any corporation into which such entities may be merged or converted or with which they may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation of such entities (“Daimler Entities”) or any Dealers or agents (or Affiliates or successors thereof) selling Vehicles manufactured or purchased from the Daimler Entities if such Manufacturer Program does not provide for waiver of set-off in accordance with this paragraph, in which case such amounts may be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from German FleetCo.
(c)Manufacturer Programs will provide that German FleetCo may set off any amount owed by the Supplier to it against any amount owed by German FleetCo to the Supplier.

(b)any applicable provisions or eligibility criteria set out in the Vehicle Purchasing Agreement requiring Relevant Vehicles to meet specified condition standards or eligibility criteria in relation to the Repurchase Obligations.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Manufacturer Program may provide that the obligations of the Supplier thereunder are conditional upon German FleetCo, German OpCo or any other person, individually or in aggregate, purchasing any minimum number of Vehicles or meeting any other minimum threshold level over or within any period or the solvency of German FleetCo, German OpCo or any other Affiliate of German FleetCo. The Repurchase Obligations shall not lapse under any circumstances in the case of an insolvency of German OpCo.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Servicer Default, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Servicer Default ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Servicer Default will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Spanish Related Documents.
9.7Indemnity relating to the services provided under this Agreement

SCHEDULE III
Required Contractual Criteria for Vehicle Purchasing Agreements

1PROVISIONS TO BE APPLIED TO ALL VEHICLE PURCHASING AGREEMENTS TO BE ENTERED INTO BY SPANISH FLEETCO
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in substance satisfy the following contractual requirements:
1.1Parties
Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which Spanish FleetCo is a party may include contractual terms permitting the accession of Spanish OpCo (or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo) as an additional purchaser/seller.
If any Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that Spanish OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo) may purchase/sell Vehicles in accordance with the terms of such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, the obligations of Spanish FleetCo and Spanish OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo, as applicable) under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in all cases need to be several, and provide that Spanish FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of Spanish OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as applicable).
Alternatively, existing Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which Spanish OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo) is a party may be amended to provide that Spanish FleetCo may accede to such Vehicle Purchasing Agreements (satisfying the Spanish Required Contractual Criteria) and that Spanish FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of Spanish OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation).
1.2Separate obligations
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will satisfy the following criteria:
(a)Spanish FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of Spanish OpCo (in its capacity as guarantor, purchaser of vehicles or otherwise) thereunder; and
(b)to the extent that Spanish OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo) enters into or is a party to any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreements with the same Manufacturer/Dealer (each such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement to which Spanish OpCo or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo is a party being a “Spanish OpCo Specific Agreement”), Spanish FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of Spanish OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as the case may be) under such Spanish OpCo Specific Agreement.
1.3Volume Rebates etc.
A Vehicle Purchasing Agreement may provide that any bonus payment or other amount (howsoever described) payable or to be made available by a Manufacturer/Dealer as a result of Spanish FleetCo (or Spanish FleetCo and/or Spanish OpCo (and/or any other relevant Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation) under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and/or any Spanish OpCo Specific Agreement, as applicable) meeting any minimum vehicle purchase level in that relevant year, be payable to or for the account of Spanish OpCo (rather than
A3730188349
WEIL:




Spanish FleetCo). For the avoidance of doubt, Spanish FleetCo may however take the benefit of reductions applied to purchase prices applicable to vehicles as a result of any such minimum vehicle purchase levels being reached.
Notwithstanding the foregoing where a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that in the event that any minimum vehicle purchase level in the relevant year is not met:
(a)any bonus, payment, benefit or reductions applied to purchase prices on Vehicles purchased by Spanish FleetCo or other amount (howsoever described) is recoverable by or repayable to a Manufacturer y/Dealer; or
(b)any penalty or other amount (howsoever described) is payable to such Manufacturer/Dealer,
such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement shall provide that, in each case, such amounts will only be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from Spanish OpCo or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo.
1.4Confidentiality and public disclosure of terms of Vehicle Purchasing
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will need to be disclosed to the Spanish Security Trustee and possibly other Enhancement Providers.
1.5Non-petition
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable and unconditional covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer that such Manufacturer/Dealer shall not be entitled and shall not initiate or take any step in connection with:
(a)liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency (or any similar or analogous proceedings or circumstances) of Spanish FleetCo; or
(b)the appointment of an insolvency officer in relation to Spanish FleetCo or any of its assets whatsoever,
provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
1.6Limited recourse
Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer that such Manufacturer/Dealer shall not be entitled to, and shall not, initiate or take any step in connection with the commencement of legal proceedings (howsoever described) to recover any amount owed to it by Spanish FleetCo under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement; this covenant will be unconditional except that the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer may commence legal proceedings to the extent that the only relief sought against Spanish FleetCo pursuant to such proceedings is the re-possession of relevant Vehicle(s) pursuant to applicable retention of title provisions provided for under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
A3730188350
WEIL:




2PROVISIONS TO BE APPLIED TO ALL MANUFACTURER PROGRAMS TO BE ENTERED INTO BY A FLEETCO
Each Manufacturer Program will in substance satisfy the following additional contractual requirements:
2.1Assignment and transfers
Each Manufacturer Program will contain terms that permit Spanish FleetCo to assign by way of security or pledge any of its rights under such agreement to the Spanish Security Trustee. Any such right to grant security to the relevant Spanish Security Trustee must be unrestricted. Unless pursuant to an Intra-Group Transfer (as defined below) by a Manufacturer (which shall not require consent from Spanish FleetCo), each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer may not assign, transfer or novate its obligations under such agreement without the prior written consent of Spanish FleetCo. Spanish FleetCo shall not provide such consent unless the Manufacturer/Dealer enters into a guarantee materially in the form set out in Schedule 3 (Draft Transfer and Guarantee Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Programs) or accepts joint and several liability in respect of the transferred obligations substantially on the terms set out in Schedule IV (Draft Transfer and Joint and Several Liability Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Programs). For the purposes hereof, an “Intra-Group Transfer” means an assignment, transfer or novation by a Manufacturer of its obligations under a Manufacturer Program to an Affiliate of such Manufacturer which would satisfy the definition of “Investment Grade Manufacturer” upon such Affiliate becoming a Manufacturer. For the avoidance of doubt, Manufacturers/Dealers may assign their rights under Manufacturer Programs without the prior written consent of Spanish FleetCo.
2.2Set-off
Each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Manufacturer Program or under applicable law to set-off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by Spanish FleetCo in relation to Vehicles ordered by (but not delivered to) Spanish FleetCo by such Manufacturer/Dealer under that Manufacturer Program, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Spanish FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program, provided that, each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement entered into or renewed on or after the Closing Date will provide that the Manufacturer /Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement or under applicable law to set-off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by Spanish FleetCo under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Spanish FleetCo under that Manufacturer Program or any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, save and except in relation to any Manufacturer Programme with Daimler AG, Seat, S.A., Volkswagen Group España Distribución, S.A. and/or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or any corporation into which such entities may be merged or converted or with which they may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation of such entities (the “Non-Accepting Entities”) or any Dealers or agents (or Affiliates or successors thereof) selling Vehicles manufactured or purchased from the Non-Accepting Entities if such Manufacturer Programme does not provide for waiver of set-off in accordance with paragraph 2.2 (Set-off) hereof, in which case such amounts may be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from Spanish FleetCo.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Manufacturer/Dealers will be entitled to set off any amount owed by Spanish FleetCo in respect of turn-back related damages against any amount of Repurchase Price owed by it to Spanish FleetCo. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
A3730188351
WEIL:




procure that each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives all rights to set-off (however arising and whether at law or in equity) any amount:
(a)owed to it by Spanish OpCo under such Manufacturer Program; or
(b)owed to it by Spanish OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo) under any other agreement (including any Spanish OpCo Specific Agreement),
in any such case against amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Spanish FleetCo under the relevant Manufacturer Program.
2.3Manufacturer’s/Dealer’s obligations to be ‘unconditional’
No Manufacturer Program may contain terms that provide that the Repurchase Obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer are conditional in any respect other than, in relation to (a) a force majeure event1 or (b) compliance with applicable turn-back procedures (including any Programme Minimum Term or Programme Maximum Term) and/or (c) turn-back standards in relation to the condition of the relevant Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, no Manufacturer Program may provide that the obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer thereunder are conditional upon:
(a)any minimum number of Vehicles being purchased (i) by Spanish FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program; and/or (ii) by Spanish OpCo or any other Person under such Manufacturer Program or any Spanish OpCo Specific Agreement; or
(b)the solvency of Spanish FleetCo; or
(c)the solvency of any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Spanish FleetCo.
2.4Termination provisions
To the extent that a Manufacturer/Dealer requires express termination provisions to be included in any Manufacturer Program, such Manufacturer Program may provide that a Manufacturer/Dealer is entitled (upon expiry of a predetermined notice period or otherwise) to terminate such agreement before its scheduled expiry date upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g. liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, failure to pay, late payment, partial payment, breach or serious breach of obligations, or any similar or analogous events); provided always that the Manufacturer/Dealer shall not under any circumstances have the right to terminate its obligations (subject to and in accordance with any eligibility criteria and Programme Minimum Term or Programme Maximum Term) to repurchase (or, if applicable to perform its guaranteed obligations thereunder) in respect of any Vehicle shipped to Spanish FleetCo or its order prior to the termination of such Manufacturer Program.
2.5Retention of title in favour of Spanish FleetCo
The Manufacturer Program entered into with the Top Two Non-Investment Grade Manufacturers will, where credit terms are made available to the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer (in relation to the payment by it of applicable repurchase prices for Vehicles) provide that title to the relevant Vehicle will remain with Spanish FleetCo until the sale proceeds are
1 For these purposes, a 'force majeure event' will be constituted by any event which (a) was not foreseen by the parties, (b) is outside their control and could not have been avoided by taking due care or by compliance in all material respects with obligations under the VPA and (c) prevents performance of the obligations of one or more parties under the contract.

(ii)References to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan.
(iii)References to a “witness” in connection with a Proceeding shall include any interviewee or person called upon to produce documents in connection with such Proceeding.
2.Indemnification.
(a)General Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, against Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, taxes, assessments and other charges in connection therewith) incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status.
(b)Additional Indemnification Regarding Expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any Proceeding is initiated by Indemnitee or the Company or any of its subsidiaries to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any rights of Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (or related obligations of Indemnitee) under the Company’s or any such subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and the Company or any of its subsidiaries are party, any vote of stockholders or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding, whether or not Indemnitee is successful in such Proceeding, except to the extent that the court presiding over such Proceeding determines that material assertions made by Indemnitee in such Proceeding were in bad faith or were frivolous.
(c)Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of any Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred by Indemnitee, but not
3



for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for such portion.
(d)Other Rights to Indemnification.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and costs provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy; provided that (i) to the extent that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the Company and by any stockholder of the Company or any affiliate (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) of any such stockholder or any insurer under a policy procured by any such stockholder or affiliate, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be primary and the obligations of such stockholder, affiliate or insurer secondary, and (ii) the Company shall not be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such stockholder, affiliate or insurer.
(e)Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated under the Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee:
(i)For Expenses incurred in connection with Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim, except (x) as contemplated by Section 2(b), (y) in specific cases if the board of directors of the Company has approved the initiation or bringing of such Proceeding, and (z) as may be required by law.
(ii)For any profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute that the Company is entitled thereunder to recover from Indemnitee.
(iii)In any circumstance where such indemnification has been determined by a final (not interlocutory) judgment or other adjudication of a court or arbitration or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as to which there is no further right or option of appeal or the time within which an appeal must be filed has expired without such filing to be prohibited by law.
(f)Subrogation.  Except as set forth in Section 2(d)(ii) of this Agreement, in the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute such documents and do such acts as the Company may reasonably request to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
3.Advancement of Expenses.
The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, other than a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee for which the Company would not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2(e), in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding and without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses and without regard to whether an Adverse Determination has been made, except as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(f). To the fullest extent required by applicable law, such payments of Expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon the Company’s receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay the advanced amounts to the extent
4



that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws, applicable law or otherwise. Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced only if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. The Company may not require the Indemnitee to post any bond or otherwise provide any security for such advancement.
4.Indemnification Procedure.
(a)Notice of Proceeding; Cooperation. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable, and in any event, no later than 30 days after Indemnitee becomes aware, of any Proceeding for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Agreement unless and to the extent that (i) none of the Company and its subsidiaries are party to or aware of such Proceeding and (ii) the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure.
(b)Settlement. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c)Request for Payment; Timing of Payment. To obtain indemnification payments or advances under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by the Company and reasonably available to Indemnitee. The Company shall make indemnification payments or advances, as applicable, to Indemnitee no later than 30 days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee (together with supporting documentation).
(d)Determination. The Company intends that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law as provided in Section 2 and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such indemnification. In no event shall a Determination be required in connection with advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 3 or in connection with indemnification for Expenses incurred as a witness or incurred in connection with any Proceeding or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise. Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any other indemnification of Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within 30 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, as follows:
(i)If no Change in Control has occurred, (w) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (x) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (y) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee, or (z) by the stockholders of the Company.
5



(ii)If a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee.
The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Determination.
(e)Independent Legal Counsel. If there has not been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of the Company and approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If there has been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to its engagement.
(f)Consequences of Determination; Remedies of Indemnitee. The Company shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason the Company does not make timely indemnification payments or advances of Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the Company to make such payments or advances. Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a Proceeding in accordance with Section 2(b) and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section 3. If Indemnitee fails to challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld (including, if applicable, by reason of such challenge having been untimely) by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee under this Agreement.
(g)Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any Determination, or any review of any Determination, by any person, including a court:
(i)It shall be a presumption that a Determination is not required.
(ii)It shall be a presumption that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct and that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances.
(iii)The burden of proof shall be on the Company to overcome the presumptions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and each such presumption shall be overcome only if the Company establishes that there is no reasonable basis to support it.
(iv)The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that indemnification is not proper or that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or otherwise.
(v)Neither the failure of any person or persons to have made a Determination nor an Adverse Determination by any person or persons shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the
6



applicable standard of conduct, and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4(f) shall be de novo with respect to all determinations of fact and law.
5.Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.
(a)Maintenance of Insurance. For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Proceeding indemnifiable hereunder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for Indemnitee of the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Upon request, the Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials, and will notify Indemnitee of any material changes that have been made to such documents. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the directors and officers of the Company most favorably insured by such policy.
(b)Notice to Insurers. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 4(a), the Company shall give or cause to be given prompt notice of such Proceeding to all insurers providing liability insurance in accordance with the procedures set forth in all applicable or potentially applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary action to cause such insurers to pay all amounts payable in accordance with the terms of such policies.
6.Exculpation, etc.
(a)Limitation of Liability. Indemnitee shall not be personally liable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to the stockholders of the Company or any such subsidiary for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the Company or any such subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of the Indemnitee (i) for any breach of the Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or such subsidiary or the stockholders thereof; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or any similar provision of other applicable corporations law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL or such other applicable law shall be amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Indemnitee shall, automatically, without any further action, be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or such other applicable law as so amended.
(b)Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries against Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators or assigns after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period, provided that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.
7



7.Miscellaneous.
(a)Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
(b)Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, (ii) on the first business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier service or (iii) on the third business day following the date of mailing if delivered by domestic registered or certified mail, properly addressed, or on the fifth business day following the date of mailing if sent by airmail from a country outside of North America, to Indemnitee as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, to the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or in either case as subsequently modified by written notice.
(c)Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
(d)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns, including without limitation any acquiror of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business and any survivor of any merger or consolidation to which the Company is party, and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators and assigns. The Company shall require and cause any such successor, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as if it were named as the Company herein, and the Company shall not permit any such purchase of assets or business, acquisition of securities or merger or consolidation to occur until such written agreement has been executed and delivered. No such assumption and agreement shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by the Company.
(e)Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.
8



(f)Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto, provided that the provisions hereof shall not supersede the provisions of the Company’s respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL or other applicable law, to the extent any such provisions shall be more favorable to Indemnitee than the provisions hereof.
(g)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(h)Effectiveness. Without limiting anything in this agreement, the indemnification and other rights provided to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to all acts or omissions of the Indemnitee from and after the time that the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status first commenced.
