RECEIVABLES FINANCING AGREEMENT
This RECEIVABLES FINANCING AGREEMENT (together with the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto, in each case, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of September 17, 2018, is by and among HERC RECEIVABLES U.S. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “US Borrower”), and THE ADDITIONAL CANADIAN BORROWER TO THE EXTENT ADDED AS A PARTY HERETO, as co-borrowers (each, a “Borrower” and, collectively, the “Borrowers”), HERC RENTALS INC., a Delaware corporation (“Herc”), individually and as initial servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and as performance guarantor (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Performance Guarantor”), the LENDERS and MANAGING AGENTS (in each case, as defined herein) from time to time party hereto, and CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK (“CACIB”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
1.    Herc desires to obtain financing secured by receivables generated by it and certain of its United States subsidiaries, and has formed the US Borrower to obtain Advances pursuant to this Agreement, such Advances to be secured by the Pool Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections.
2.    Herc may in the future wish to include a Canadian entity, to be named Herc Receivables Canada ULC or such other name as Herc may elect (the “Canadian Borrower”), in order to obtain financing secured by receivables generated by certain of Herc’s Canadian subsidiaries, and may request that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Groups as provided herein, the Canadian Borrower become able to obtain Advances pursuant to this Agreement, such Advances (as well as Advances to the US Borrower) to be secured by all Pool Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections.
3.    The Lenders are prepared to make Advances on a revolving basis, subject to the terms and conditions of, and as otherwise provided in, this Agreement.
4.    In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

Section 1.2    Interpretation. Except as otherwise indicated, all agreements defined in this Agreement refer to the same as from time to time amended or supplemented or as the terms of such agreements are waived or modified in accordance with their terms. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” (and words correlative thereto), where not followed by the phrase “without limitation,” shall be deemed to be followed by that phrase unless the context otherwise shall require. As used in this Agreement, references to any asset or to any property, and like references, means all



applicable property (whether personalty or realty or mixed, and whether tangible or intangible) unless the context otherwise shall require. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision. References to any Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule or Annex and similar references, are to those of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise.
ARTICLE II
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES
Section 2.1    Advances.
(a)    On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (including Section 2.2(b) below), the Borrowers may from time to time request that (x) the Conduit Lenders ratably (based on the aggregate Commitments of the Committed Lenders in their respective Lender Groups) make advances (each an “Advance” and collectively the “Advances”), or (y) only if there is not a Conduit Lender in the applicable Lender Group or if a Conduit Lender (i) denies a request to make an Advance, or (ii) is otherwise unable or unwilling to fund such Advance (and provides written notice of such to the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and its Managing Agent), the Committed Lenders ratably make such Advances. Each Committed Lender severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Advances to the Borrowers from time to time from the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Facility Maturity Date, based on the applicable Lender Group’s Group Commitment Percentage of each Advance requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (and, in the case of each Committed Lender in a Lender Group, its Commitment Percentage of such Lender Group’s Group Commitment Percentage of such Advance).
(b)    Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance (i) any event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Advance, that constitutes an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default, (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist, (iii) the outstanding Advance Principal Balance of such Lender, when added to the aggregate Advance Principal Balance of all other Lenders in such Lender’s Lender Group outstanding at such time, would exceed its Lender Group’s Group Commitment; or (iv) the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance would exceed the Aggregate Commitment.
(c)    The Borrowers may, upon at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, terminate the financing facility provided for in this Section 2.1(c) in whole or, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance to exceed the Aggregate Commitment or would cause the aggregate outstanding Advance Principal Balance of any Lender Group to exceed its Group Commitment, in either case, after giving effect to such reduction); provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Aggregate Commitment shall in no event be reduced below $100,000,000. In connection with each such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and the Group Commitment of each Lender Group shall automatically be ratably reduced by a proportionate amount. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Managing Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 2.1(c); it being understood and agreed that no such termination of the financing facility provided hereunder shall be effective unless and until (i) the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance is reduced to zero and (ii) all other amounts then owed to the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full.
-2-



(d)    The Borrowers may, upon at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitment. The Managing Agents may, in their sole discretion, approve any such ratable increase, subject to appropriate credit and due diligence reviews; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any such increase, the Aggregate Commitment shall not, at any time, exceed the Program Limit, (ii) the Borrowers, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor are then in compliance with all covenants in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrowers shall not previously have reduced the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(c), and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received, in substantially the form set forth in Annex G hereto, (x) the written acknowledgement of, and agreement by, the Performance Guarantor to such increase and (y) Officer’s Certificates of the Borrowers, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor (1) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying and attaching resolutions of each Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, (2) certifying as to the matters reflected in clauses (i)-(iii) above, and (3) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties of the Borrowers, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor contained in Exhibit III hereof and in the other Transaction Documents are true and correct (subject to any materiality qualifiers contained in such representations and warranties) on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date. In connection with any such increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to charge an additional upfront fee on any increased Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), as set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Fee Agreement, dated as of the Amendment No. 5 Closing Date, which fee shall be fully earned, due and payable in full (without reduction, set-off or refund in the event of any early termination of this Agreement) by the Borrowers on the effective date of such increase.
(e)    Not more than twice during the period from and after August 30, 2024 and prior to the Facility Maturity Date and provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Borrowers (or the Servicer, on the Borrowers’ behalf) may request an increase in the Uncommitted Allocation across all Lender Groups by delivering not less than three (3) weeks’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent specifying (i) the aggregate amount of the requested increase (the “Aggregate Requested Increase”), (ii) each Lender Group’s percentage of the Aggregate Requested Increase (each, a “Group’s Requested Increase”), and (iii) each Lender’s share of its Group’s Requested Increase (each, a “Lender’s Increase Amount”). Upon receipt of a written request complying with the preceding sentence, each of the Managing Agents will promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Lender(s) in its Lender Group, and each such Lender will promptly seek credit approval to increase its Uncommitted Allocation in an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Increase Amount; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a commitment by any Lender to provide, or to obtain credit approval to provide, all or any portion of the Aggregate Requested Increase. If any Managing Agent notifies the Transaction Parties and the Administrative Agent that any Lender in its Lender Group has obtained credit approval to increase its Uncommitted Allocation by an amount equal to such Lender’s Increase Amount, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Uncommitted Allocation will automatically increase by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Increase Amount on the Business Day at least ten (10) Business Days but in any event no more than three (3) weeks after delivery of the request for such increase (unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent and at least thirty (30) days prior to the Facility Maturity Date. If any Lender declines to agree to increase its Uncommitted Allocation by its Lender’s Increase Amount, the Borrowers may ask the Lender(s) in the other Lender Groups if they would like to increase their respective Lender’s Increase Amounts by all or any portion of the declined amount.
-3-



Section 2.2    Procedure for Advances.
(a)    Each Advance hereunder shall be made on the requested date of an Advance upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (the “Borrowing Request”) delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent in accordance with Section 12.2 by 2:00 p.m., New York, New York time, at least three (3) Business Days before the requested date of an Advance, which notice shall specify: (i) the amount requested to be paid to the Borrowers (such amount, which shall not be less than $1,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) with respect to each Lender Group in connection with such Advance, the portion thereof allocated to each Borrower and the bank account for each Borrower to which the funds are to be remitted; (ii) the date of such Advance; and (iii) a pro forma calculation of the Advance Principal Balance of each Lender after giving effect to the increase in Aggregate Advance Principal Balance resulting from such Advance.
(b)    On the date of each Advance hereunder, each applicable Conduit Lender or Committed Lender, as the case may be in accordance with Section 2.1(a), shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 and Exhibit II, make available to the Borrowers in same day funds, at the account for each Borrower designated in writing by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent in the Borrowing Request, an amount equal to the portion of Advance Principal Balance to be funded by such Lender (as determined in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(b)).
(c)    Each Committed ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Lender to make a payment in connection with any Advance hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Advance.
(d)    The Borrowers may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), (i) add additional financial institutions as Lenders (including by creating new Lender Groups) or (ii) subject to Section 2.1(d), cause an existing Lender to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Aggregate Commitment. Each new Lender (or Lender Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex E hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Lender or Lenders, be executed by each Person in such new Lender’s Lender Group).
(e)    The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the Advances made by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ identified on Exhibit VI hereto (a “Tranched Advance Lender”) shall, to the extent so specified on Exhibit VI hereto, be deemed to consist of a “Class A” interest in such Advances and a “Class B” interest in such Advances. The Class B interest shall be subordinate to the Class A interest. Except as specifically set forth herein, none of the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with respect to the tranching of the Advances made by any Tranched Advance Lender into Class A interests and Class B interests or any other matter related thereto; provided, that, in no event shall the obligations of the Borrowers under the Transaction Documents be increased or decreased in any respect as a result thereof. A Tranched Advance Lender’s (i) Class A interest shall initially consist of the “Class A Percentage” (as specified on Exhibit VI) of the Advances made by it hereunder and (ii) Class B interest shall initially consist of the “Class B Percentage” (as specified on Exhibit VI) of the Advances made by it hereunder; provided, that, any Tranched Advance Lender may upon notice to its Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the percentages of its Advances constituting Class A interests and Class B interests, respectively, so long as the respective percentages equal 100% of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Advances.
-4-



The Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Borrowers acknowledge that (i) all payments of the portion of Aggregate Advance Principal Balance owing to any Tranched Advance Lender on each Settlement Date in respect of the Advances made by such Tranched Advance Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be allocated (x) first to such Tranched Advance Lender’s Class A interest, until the principal amount of the Class A interest is reduced to zero and (y) second to such Tranched Advance Lender’s Class B interest, until the Class B interest is reduced to zero, and (ii) all payments constituting interest made to such Tranched Advance Lender on each Settlement Date in respect of the Advances made by it hereunder shall be deemed to be allocated to such Tranched Advance Lender’s Class A interest and such Tranched Advance Lender’s Class B interest, pro rata, based on the outstanding principal amount of such Tranched Advance Lender’s Class A interest and Class B interest on such Settlement Date. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) none of the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be responsible for the calculation of any amounts due to any Tranched Advance Lender’s Class A interest or Class B interest, respectively, or the outstanding amount of any Tranched Advance Lender’s Class A interest or Class B interest and such amounts shall not appear on any monthly report or other report provided by the Administrative Agent, the Servicer or the Borrowers and (ii) the Servicer shall send one combined payment to the applicable Managing Agent for any Tranched Advance Lender(s) representing amounts due to the Lenders in such Lender Group on the related Settlement Date to the extent provided for in, and in accordance with, this Agreement.
(f)    Each of the parties hereto intends that no Advance hereunder shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a “security” under U.S. securities Laws or within the meaning of the UCC.
Section 2.3    Computations.
(a)    Interest will accrue on each Advance at the Accrued Interest Rate, and interest accrued during each Interest Calculation Period will be payable on the following Settlement Date.
(b)    The Lenders will be entitled to an Unused Fee on each Settlement Date to the extent the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance is less than the Aggregate Commitment during the preceding Settlement Period.
(c)    Until the Facility Maturity Date, the Net Receivables Pool Balance and the Borrowing Base shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day.
Section 2.4    Daily Releases; Settlement Date Procedures.
(a)    The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Borrowers shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including current computations of the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance (and the components thereof).
(b)    The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or on the next applicable Settlement Date for any Pool Receivables (or portion thereof) deemed received) by the Borrowers or the Servicer:
(i)    set aside in the Concentration Accounts, for the benefit of each Lender Group, out of such Collections, an amount equal to the sum of (w) the Accrued Interest accrued through such day on the Advance Principal Balance of each Lender not previously paid (determined based on the most
-5-



recent Accrued Interest Rate available to the Servicer), to the extent not previously so set aside, (x) an amount equal to the fees owing to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer accrued and unpaid through such day, and (y) all other amounts then due and payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement to the Lenders, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent, and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person;
(ii)    subject to Section 2.4(f), so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, an amount up to the remainder of the Collections not set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) of this Section 2.4 shall at the direction of the Servicer be remitted to the Borrowers for application by the Borrowers to payment of the purchase price for Pool Receivables, and associated Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto pursuant to the Purchase and Contribution Agreements, or if not required therefor then for other purposes; provided, however, that, if after giving effect to any such release of funds, there would be a Borrowing Base Deficiency, as determined by the Servicer, then the Servicer shall not so release funds, but shall set aside and hold in the Concentration Accounts for the benefit of the Lenders a portion of such Collections that, in addition to the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency, such amount to be applied as a prepayment of outstanding Advances within two (2) Business Days in accordance with Section 2.4(f); and
(iii)    if such day occurs during any period during which an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, set aside in the Concentration Accounts for the benefit of each Lender Group, the entire amount of such Collections.
(c)    On or prior to each Interest Invoice Due Date, each Managing Agent shall deliver to the Servicer by electronic mail an invoice for such Managing Agent’s Lender Group setting forth the Accrued Interest accrued with respect to the daily Advance Principal Balance for each Lender in its Lender Group during the preceding Interest Calculation Period.
(d)    On each Settlement Date prior to the acceleration of the Facility Maturity Date pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, the Servicer shall direct that amounts held in the Concentration Accounts (to the extent held in the form of Canadian Dollars, then converted to US Dollars) be applied as follows:
(i)    if such Settlement Date is not during the continuance of an Event of Default,
first, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee, to the extent accrued and unpaid through the last day of the immediately preceding Settlement Period until such accrued fees are paid in full, to the extent (if the Servicer is not Herc or any other Affiliate of the Borrowers) not otherwise netted out from Collections by the Servicer;
second, to the extent such amounts are then payable hereunder, to each Managing Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders within such Managing Agent’s Lender Group), in payment in full of, all Accrued Interest for the related Interest Calculation Period with respect to each portion of Aggregate Advance Principal Balance maintained by such Lenders (it being understood that each Managing Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Lenders within its Lender Group ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Advance Principal Balance);
third, ratably to the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent, all accrued fees (including program fees) owing to the Lenders (it being understood that each
-6-



Managing Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Lenders within its Lender Group ratably in accordance with each such Lender’s Advance Principal Balance) and to the Administrative Agent;
fourth, to each Managing Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders within such Managing Agent’s Lender Group), (x) if such day is a day on which there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the amount necessary to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency; and (y) if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of a reduction of the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance pursuant to Section 2.4(f), in payment in full of the related reduction in Aggregate Advance Principal Balance, it being understood in each case that each Managing Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Lenders within its Lender Group ratably in accordance with each such Lender’s Advance Principal Balance; and
fifth, subject to the conditions for release of funds set forth in Section 2.4(b), either retained in the Concentration Account or, at the direction of the Servicer, released to the Borrowers for their own account.
(ii)    if such distribution occurs during the continuance of an Event of Default, prior to acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 9.1:
first, if the Servicer is not Herc or any other Affiliate of the Borrowers, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee, to the extent accrued and unpaid through the last day of the immediately preceding Settlement Period until such accrued fees are paid in full, to the extent not otherwise netted out from Collections by the Servicer;
second, to each Managing Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders within such Managing Agent’s Lender Group), in payment in full of, all Accrued Interest for the related Interest Calculation Period with respect to each portion of Aggregate Advance Principal Balance maintained by such Lenders (it being understood that each Managing Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Lenders within its Lender Group ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Advance Principal Balance);

(e)    For the purposes of this Section 2.4:
(i)    if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of (x) without duplication, any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, dilution, discount, or other adjustment (including, without limitation, an extension or adjustment made pursuant to the applicable Credit and Collection Guidelines) made by the Borrowers, the Servicer or any Originator, including in connection with the cancellation and reissuance of any Pool Receivable, or (y) any set-off or dispute between the Borrowers or any Originator and an Obligor (any such reduction or cancellation, a “Dilution”), in any such case, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction, adjustment, cancellation or dispute (which, in the case of a cancellation and reissuance of any Pool Receivable, shall be an amount equal to the full Outstanding Balance of the cancelled Pool Receivable) and shall, subject to Section 2.4(e)(v), on the Settlement Date for the applicable Settlement Period, pay from its own funds any and all such amounts in respect thereof to the applicable Concentration Account for the benefit of each Lender Group and for application pursuant to this Section 2.4;
(ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 1(g) or (m) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable or a Collection of the full Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivable, the Borrowers shall, subject to Section 2.4(e)(v), within one (1) Business Day, pay an amount equal to the full Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivable from its own funds in respect thereof to the applicable Concentration Account for the benefit of each Lender Group and for application pursuant to this Section 2.4 (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Sections 2.4(e)(i) or (ii) are hereinafter referred to as “Deemed Collections”);
(iii)    except as provided in Sections 2.4(e)(i) or (ii), or as otherwise required by applicable Law, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Pool Receivable shall be applied to the Pool Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Receivables;
(iv)    if and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender but rather to have been retained by the Borrowers and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Borrowers for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof; and
(v)    if at any time before the Facility Maturity Date the Borrowers are deemed to have received any Deemed Collection under Sections 2.4(e)(i) or (ii), the Borrowers may satisfy their
-8-



obligation to deliver the amount of such Deemed Collections to the applicable Concentration Account by instead recalculating (or being deemed to have recalculated) the Advance Principal Balance by decreasing the Net Receivables Pool Balance by the amount of such Deemed Collections, so long as such adjustment does not cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency.
(f)    At any time, the Borrowers may elect to prepay (a “Voluntary Prepayment”), or to the extent provided in Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall be required to prepay (a “Mandatory Prepayment”), all or a portion of the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance in accordance with this Section 2.4(f). The Borrowers shall do so as follows:
(i)    the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and the Servicer written notice in substantially the form of Annex C (the “Paydown Notice”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of any such prepayment of Aggregate Advance Principal Balance, which notice shall include the amount of such prepayment and the proposed date on which such prepayment will be made;
(ii)    in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment, funds held in the Concentration Accounts pursuant to Section 2.4(b) shall be applied to a prepayment of the Advance Principal Balance, together with Accrued Interest on such prepayment through the date of prepayment, on the date specified in Section 2.4(b)(ii);
(iii)    in the case of a Voluntary Prepayment, funds in US Dollars sufficient (when taken together with funds in US Dollars already in the Concentration Accounts and eligible for release therefrom) to make such prepayment together with Accrued Interest payable thereon shall have been deposited in the Concentration Accounts prior to delivering such notice, and all such funds shall be retained in the Concentration Account until applied to make such prepayment on the date specified in such notice;
(iv)    such prepayment of principal shall be paid to the Managing Agents pro rata, based on the respective Advance Principal Balances of the related Lender Groups, and shall be accompanied by payment of Accrued Interest thereon through the date of prepayment, and
(v)    the Aggregate Advance Principal Balance shall be deemed reduced in the amount of principal to be paid to a Managing Agent only when in fact finally so paid;
provided, that the amount of any such Voluntary Prepayment (if not a reduction to zero) shall be not less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Aggregate Advance Principal Balance after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $10,000,000 (unless the entire Aggregate Advance Principal Balance shall have been reduced to zero).
Section 2.5    Fees. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to each Managing Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the related Lender Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.4(d) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in that certain fee letter agreement, dated the Closing Date (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, including in order to add any Lender and its related Lender Group that become party hereto pursuant to an Assumption Agreement, a Transfer Supplement or otherwise), among the Servicer, the Borrowers, and each Managing Agent (the “Lender Group Fee Letter”).
-9-



(b)    The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.4(d) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, if any.
Section 2.6    Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a)    All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrowers or the Servicer hereunder shall be made in US Dollars and all amounts under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account for each Lender maintained by the applicable Managing Agent as may be designated from time to time by such Managing Agent to the Borrowers and the Servicer. All amounts received after 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders shall be paid directly to such Lenders. Except as expressly set forth herein, any such amounts payable to the Lenders shall be paid by the Borrowers (and to the extent any such amounts are received by a Managing Agent, such Managing Agent shall distribute the amounts paid to it hereunder for the benefit of the Lenders in its Lender Group to the Lenders within its Lender Group) ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Accrued Interest and fees, according to the Accrued Interest and fees payable to such Lenders and (y) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Advance Principal Balance (or in respect of any other obligations other than Accrued Interest and fees), according to the outstanding Advance Principal Balance funded by such Lenders.
(b)    The Borrowers (with respect to amounts payable by the Borrowers) or the Servicer (with respect to amounts payable by the Servicer), as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Borrowers or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due and payable hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided, that such rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.
(c)    All computations of interest under Section 2.6(b) and all computations of Accrued Interest, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days (or three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, with respect to Accrued Interest or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure under such legislation, whenever interest to be paid under this Agreement is to be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by either three hundred and sixty-five (365), three hundred and sixty (360) or such other period of time, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that it shall, upon the request of the Canadian Borrower, provide the Canadian Borrower with a written statement setting forth the calculation of any interest provided for in accordance with this Section 2.6(c) and the Canadian Borrower acknowledges and agrees that for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), such written statement given by the Lenders constitutes an express statement of the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such interest rate or percentage is equivalent.

(ii)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, insurance charge, special deposit, requirement for the maintenance of assets or capital, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, liabilities of or credit extended by, any Affected Person or shall impose on any Affected Person or on the United States market for commercial paper or the London interbank market any other condition affecting or otherwise in respect of any Specified Matter; or
(iii)    impose any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Person of performing its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on Affected Person’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or Advances held or interest received by it; then, promptly following demand by such Affected Person through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Affected Person, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such Tax, increased cost or reduction.
(b)    Adoption of Regulatory Changes. The Borrowers acknowledge that any Affected Person may institute measures in anticipation of a Regulatory Change (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Person’s interests or obligations under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Borrowers under this Section 2.7 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Regulatory Change, and the Borrowers agree to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.7, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.
-11-



(c)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.7 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrowers of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred seventy (270) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Subject to the requirements set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall from time to time, only for purposes of computing Accrued Interest with respect to each Lender, account for such Lender’s portion of Advance Principal Balance in terms of one or more portions (or classes), and the applicable Accrued Interest Rate may be different for each portion of such Advance Principal Balance, whether due to a different source of funds, timing of funding or otherwise. Each Lender’s Advance Principal Balance shall be allocated to each portion of Advance Principal Balance by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Managing Agent to reflect the funding sources for each such portion of such Advance Principal Balance, so that:
(a)    there will be an Accrued Interest Rate for the portion of Advance Principal Balance funded or maintained through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes; and
(b)    there will be an Accrued Interest Rate for the portion of Advance Principal Balance, if any, not funded or maintained through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes (including by outstanding Liquidity Advances, by funding under any Program Support Agreement or otherwise).
Section 2.9    Inability to Determine Rates; Changes in Legality.
(a)    Subject to Section 12.21, if any Managing Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto) before the first day of any Interest Calculation Period, either that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Calculation Period or day, as applicable, or (iii) the Term SOFR Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Affected Person (as conclusively determined by such Managing Agent) of maintaining any portion of Advance Principal Balance during such Interest Calculation Period or day, as applicable, such Managing Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrowers before the first day of any Interest Calculation Period. Upon delivery of such notice: (i) no portion of Advance Principal Balance shall be funded thereafter at the Base Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate unless and until such Managing Agent shall have given notice to the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, and (ii) with respect to any outstanding portion of Advance Principal Balance then funded at the Base Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate, such Base Rate shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate determined without reference to the Term SOFR Rate on the last day of the then-current Interest Calculation Period.
(b)    If, on or before the first (1st) day of any Interest Calculation Period, any Managing Agent shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any Regulatory Change, or compliance by such Affected Person with any Regulatory Change, shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to
-12-



fund or maintain any portion of Advance Principal Balance at or by reference to the Term SOFR Rate, such Managing Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each other Managing Agent thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Managing Agent notifies the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each other Managing Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no portion of Advance Principal Balance shall be funded at or by reference to the Term SOFR Rate and (ii) the Accrued Interest for any outstanding portions of Advance Principal Balance then funded at the Base Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate shall be converted to the Base Rate determined without reference to the Term SOFR Rate either (x) on the last day of the then-current Interest Calculation Period, only if such Affected Person may lawfully continue to maintain such portion of Advance Principal Balance at or by reference to the Term SOFR Rate prior to such conversion, or (y) immediately, if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such portion of Advance Principal Balance at or by reference to the Term SOFR Rate during such period.

(iv)    the failure by the Servicer to comply with any applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract;
(v)    any dispute, claim, offset or defense of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool resulting from or related to the collection activities of the Servicer with respect to such Receivable;
(vi)    the commingling by the Servicer of Collections at any time with other funds;
(vii)    any failure to perform the Servicer’s duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party;
(viii)    any failure of an Account Bank (A) to comply with the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, (B) in respect of each Concentration Account, to maintain a short term unsecured debt rating of at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, (C) in respect of each Collection Account - Class A, to maintain a short term unsecured debt rating of at least A1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, and (D) in respect of each Collection Account - Class B located at an Account Bank that has a short term unsecured debt rating from Standard & Poor’s and/or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, to maintain such short term unsecured debt rating of at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-2 by Moody’s; or
(ix)    the failure of the sale or pledge of any Pool Receivable under the Transaction Documents to comply with the notice requirements of FACA or any analogous State or local Laws.
Section 6.3    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Transaction Party hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Transaction Party, then the Transaction Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Transaction Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.3) the applicable Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes. The Transaction Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
-18-



(c)    Indemnification by the Transaction Parties. The Transaction Parties will jointly and severally indemnify each Affected Person, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 6.3) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) any Taxes resulting from such Affected Person’s Advances being treated in a manner contrary to the first sentence of Section 12.7. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Transaction Parties by an Affected Person other than the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Transaction Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Transaction Parties to do so),
(i)    any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.3(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 6.3(d).
(e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Transaction Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 6.3, such Transaction Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent.
(f)    Refunds. If an Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.3, it shall pay over such refund to the indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Transaction Party under this Section 6.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable in respect of such interest); provided, that the indemnifying party agrees to repay each such Affected Person, promptly after the request of such Affected Person, the amount paid over to the indemnifying party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
-19-



the contrary in this Section 6.3(f), in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party the payment of which would place such Affected Person in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Affected Person would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid. This Section 6.3(f) shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)    Designation of Different Funding Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.7, or requires a Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 6.3, then such Lender agrees that it will (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different funding office or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would reduce or eliminate amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 6.3, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(h)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.7, or if either Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 6.3 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 6.3(g) above, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.3), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 6.3) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to a Person eligible to be a Purchasing Committed Lender under Section 12.3(b) that shall assume such obligations (which such Purchasing Committed Lender may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that:
(i)    such Affected Person shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Commitment, Accrued Interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and Accrued Interest and accrued fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(ii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.7 or payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.3, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iii)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
-20-



(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 6.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.
ARTICLE VII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section 7.1    Appointment of the Servicer.
(a)    The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to Herc (in accordance with this Section 7.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, Herc is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents, shall), upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice, designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Herc or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, and in respect of such appointment the Servicer shall comply with Section 7.4, including without limitation that the Servicer shall (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license (to the extent permitted under applicable contracts) to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of each Lender Group) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent.
(b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in Section 7.1(a), ▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Herc shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include providing access to and transferring related records and permitting use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, in each case unless prohibited by law or any contract relating to any such license, hardware or software.
(c)    Herc acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each Lender have relied on Herc’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.
(d)    The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any sub-servicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated; (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance; (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that such agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Originator or is an Originator acting as Sub-Servicer for Pool Receivables other than those originated by it, the Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation; provided, further, that any Sub-Servicer servicing
-21-



and administering Pool Receivables originated by the Canadian Originator in Canada shall not be conferred with any powers to enter into contracts in the name of the Servicer or the Canadian Borrower.
Section 7.2    Duties of the Servicer.
(a)    The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary to administer and collect each Pool Receivable, all in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Guidelines. The Servicer shall set aside (or cause the Borrowers to set aside and hold), for the accounts of the Borrowers and each Lender Group, the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article II and, in particular, shall be responsible for assuring that no funds are released from the Concentration Accounts if any such release would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency (whether by operation of Section 2.4(b), Section 2.4(d) or otherwise). The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Guidelines, extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or as required under applicable Law or the applicable Contract; provided, that for the purposes of this Agreement, (i) such extension shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original invoice related to such Pool Receivable unless such Pool Receivable has been cancelled and reissued with an appropriate Deemed Collection in an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of the cancelled Pool Receivable being recorded pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i); and (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of each Lender Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while an Event of Default exists or after a Facility Maturity Date has been declared pursuant to Section 9.1, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer (whether Herc or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce the collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess Related Security. The Servicer shall have no liability hereunder for following any such directions in good faith. In no event, however, shall the Servicer be entitled to make or authorize any Person to make the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent, any Lender or any other Affected Person a party to any legal action without such Person’s, as the case may be, express prior written consent.
(b)    The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Borrowers the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Herc or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Herc or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrowers all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
(c)    Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Termination Date.
After such termination, if Herc or a Subsidiary thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Borrowers all books, records and related
-22-



materials that any Originator or the Borrowers previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
Section 7.3    Lock-Box and Bank Account Arrangements.
(a)    The Borrowers (i) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Account Control Agreement in respect of each Concentration Account and each Collection Account - Class A identified on Schedule II within 30 days after the Closing Date (together with a legal opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to perfection of the security interest in the accounts covered thereby), and (ii) may, in their discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent an Account Control Agreement in respect of any Collection Account - Class B identified on Schedule II and, in each case, shall have delivered an original counterpart thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Account Control Agreements delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence for the Collection Accounts in the United States and for each Concentration Account shall provide the Administrative Agent with “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC over such Collection Accounts and each Concentration Account. Any Collection Accounts in Canada shall each be subject to Blocked Account Agreements. The Account Bank for each Collection Account shall have been instructed (whether pursuant to the applicable Account Control Agreement or Blocked Account Agreements or pursuant to a separate writing acknowledged by such Account Bank) to perform (i) an automatic daily sweep with respect to any Collection Account— Class A or (ii) an automatic monthly sweep for any Collection Account — Class B of all available funds therein to the applicable Concentration Account. New accounts may be added to Schedule II by written notice of the applicable Borrower (accompanied by a new Schedule II) and acknowledged in writing by the Administrative Agent, and receives a fully executed Account Control Agreement with each new Account Bank or with respect to each new Collection Account or Concentration Account, or evidence that such new Collection Account or Concentration Account, as applicable, is subject to an existing Account Control Agreement, within 30 days after the creation thereof. Neither the Borrowers nor the Servicer shall, nor shall the Borrowers or the Servicer permit any other Person to, attempt to terminate such automatic sweep feature or attempt to close any Collection Account unless the Collections directed to such Collection Account are redirected to another Collection Account that is subject to the same automatic sweep of all available funds to the applicable Concentration Account. Any new Collection Account that is not already subject to an Account Control Agreement shall, in the case of a Collection Account - Class A, be made subject to an Account Control Agreement within 30 days after the creation of such account. Neither the Borrowers nor the Servicer shall, nor shall the Borrowers or the Servicer permit any other Person to, attempt to close any Concentration Account. Each such Bank Account located in the United States shall be a “deposit account,” as such term is used in the UCC. Such Bank Accounts may be interest-bearing, but funds in such Bank Accounts shall not otherwise be invested.
(b)    At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents, shall) give notice to each Account Bank (in respect of any Bank Account that is not already under the exclusive control of the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights to exclusive control under the Account Control Agreements with respect to the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Accounts (an “Account Control Agreement Activation Notice”). Each of the Borrowers and the Servicer hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent (either directly or at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) exercises its rights under an Account Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrowers hereby further agree to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in
-23-



connection therewith. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrowers or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to the applicable Concentration Account or to such other account as may be identified by the Administrative Agent.
(c)    If at any time an Account Bank (i) related to a Concentration Account or a Collection Account - Class A has a short term unsecured debt rating lower than A-1 by Standard & Poor’s or P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, or (ii) related to a Collection Account - Class B that has a short term unsecured debt rating from Standard & Poor’s and/or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ is rated lower than A-2 by Standard & Poor’s or P-2 by Moody’s (each a “Low Ratings Account Bank”), the Servicer and the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing and the Administrative Agent may (and at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents, shall) require that the Borrowers open a new Concentration Account, Collection Account - Class A, or Collection Account - Class B, as applicable, with a new Account Bank having ratings equal to or better than A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s (for any new Concentration Account or Collection Account - Class A), or having ratings equal to or better than A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-2 by Moody’s (for any new Collection Account - Class B). Such establishment of new deposit accounts and the execution and delivery of appropriate Account Control Agreements (in respect of any new Concentration Account or Collection Account - Class A) shall be completed promptly but in any event no later than forty-five (45) days following the Administrative Agent’s notice. The Servicer shall promptly instruct all Obligors previously paying into a previous Collection Account to remit future payments to the new Collection Account. If Administrative Agent becomes aware of any downgrade of the short term unsecured debt rating from Standard & Poor’s and/or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ of any Account Bank that would trigger the operation of this provision, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Servicer and Borrower.
(d)    At no time shall the Borrowers or Servicer permit the aggregate amount of Collections received during any Settlement Period in all Collection Accounts - Class B to exceed five percent (5%) of all Collections received on Pool Receivables in all Bank Accounts during that same Settlement Period, and shall cause Obligors to be instructed to make payments on account of Collections into the applicable Collection Accounts to ensure that the aggregate amount of Collections received during any Settlement Period in all Collection Accounts - Class B will not exceed five percent (5%) of all Collections received on Pool Receivables in all Bank Accounts during that same Settlement Period; provided, however, if the aggregate amount of such Collections in all Collection Accounts - Class B at any time exceeds five percent (5%) during any Settlement Period, in addition to any other remedies the Administrative Agent may have for such breach, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon notice to the Borrowers, to require that all Collection Accounts - Class B be swept automatically on a daily basis.
Section 7.4    Enforcement Rights.
(a)    At any time while an Event of Default exists or after a Facility Maturity Date has been declared pursuant to Section 9.1:
(i)    the Administrative Agent may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee into a deposit account for the benefit of the Lenders;
(ii)    the Administrative Agent may instruct the Borrowers or the Servicer to give notice of the Lender Groups’ interest in the Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of each Lender Group), and the Borrowers or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the
-24-



expense of the Borrowers or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Borrowers or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within ten (10) days after receipt of such instruction, the Administrative Agent (at the Borrowers’ or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors;
(iii)    the Administrative Agent may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall, (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license (to the extent permitted under applicable contracts) to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of each Lender Group) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent; and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee; and
(iv)    the Borrowers and the Servicer shall enforce any and all covenants and obligations of each Originator contained in the Purchase and Contribution Agreements or any other Transaction Document as shall be instructed by the Administrative Agent.
(b)    Each of the Borrowers and the Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of each Lender Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of each Lender Group) as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrowers or the Servicer, as applicable, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the applicable Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, and on behalf of such Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, as may be necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the applicable Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, on all checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever. The Administrative Agent shall only be entitled to act as contemplated in this Section 7.4(b) while an Event of Default exists or after a Facility Maturity Date has been declared pursuant to Section 9.1. Each Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with a separate power of attorney with respect to this Section 7.4(b), but such power of attorney shall be used by the Administrative Agent only subject to, and in a manner consistent with, this Section 7.4(b).
Section 7.5    Responsibilities of the Servicer.
(a)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Originator to): (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred to the Borrowers or the Lenders hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Lenders of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Servicer from such obligations; and (ii) pay out of Collections or other cash owned by the Borrowers, on behalf of the Borrowers (or cause the Borrowers to pay) when due any taxes, energy surcharges and other governmental charges payable by the Borrowers, if any, in connection with any of the Pool Receivables
-25-



or this Agreement. None of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivable, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrowers, the Servicer or any Originator thereunder.
(b)    Herc hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the then-current Servicer and, in such capacity, Herc shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Pool Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Herc conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. So long as no Event of Default is existing, as consideration for performing such services, the Servicer shall be entitled to a portion of the Servicing Fee equal to the portion of the servicing duties that Herc continues to perform.
Section 7.6    Servicing Fee.
The Servicer shall, on each day, be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) daily in arrears, as contemplated in Section 2.4, equal to the product of (i) 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”), (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables owned by the US Borrower and, solely if neither Herc nor any other Affiliate of the Borrowers acts as Servicer, Pool Receivables owned by the Canadian Borrower as of the start of the day immediately preceding such day, and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is 360.
ARTICLE VIII
PERFORMANCE GUARANTY
Section 8.1    Guaranty. The Performance Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Servicer and each Originator in all capacities in which any such party acts under the Transaction Documents, now or hereafter existing under the Transaction Documents, and the obligations of the Borrower to indemnify pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.3 (such obligations of the Servicer, the Originators and the Borrower being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) in enforcing any rights under this Performance Guaranty, together with interest on such expenses (from the time when such amounts were incurred, based on a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year) at a rate per annum for each day equal to the Base Rate on such day plus two percent (2.00%). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Performance Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts which constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any Person to the Borrowers or any Beneficiary under any Transaction Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Person as debtor. Except for provisions which by their terms survive termination of this Agreement or another Transaction Document, the liability of the Performance Guarantor under this Performance Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations is subject to termination on the Final Termination Date. Expiry of this Performance Guaranty shall not reduce or diminish the liability of the Performance Guarantor to the Beneficiaries in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation incurred on before the Facility Maturity Date. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS GUARANTEE IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF THE PAYMENT OR COLLECTION OF ANY OF THE POOL RECEIVABLES, AND THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS TO THE EXTENT THE FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS BY ANY ORIGINATOR OR SERVICER RESULTS FROM SUCH POOL RECEIVABLES BEING UNCOLLECTIBLE ON ACCOUNT OF THE INSOLVENCY, BANKRUPTCY OR LACK OF CREDITWORTHINESS OF THE RELATED OBLIGOR; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL RELIEVE
-26-



ANY ORIGINATOR OR SERVICER FROM PERFORMING IN FULL ITS GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS OR RELIEVE THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR OF ITS UNDERTAKINGS HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF SUCH DUTIES AS PROVIDED HEREIN.
Section 8.2    Guaranty Absolute. The Performance Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be performed or paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Beneficiary with respect thereto. The obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Performance Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Performance Guarantor to enforce this Performance Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Servicer or any Originator or whether the Servicer or such Originator is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Performance Guarantor under this Performance Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from additional Advances or otherwise and any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the exercise by the Borrowers of the right to request an increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(d);
(c)    any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(d)    any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto;
(e)    any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(f)    any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of the Servicer, any Originator or any of their Subsidiaries;
(g)    the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Beneficiary may have at any time against the Servicer, any Originator or any of their Subsidiaries in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction;
(h)    any assignment or transfer of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof permitted under the Purchase and Contribution Agreements, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
(i)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Herc or any of its Subsidiaries; or

EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 9.1    Events of Default. If any of the Events of Default set forth in Exhibit V shall occur, the Administrative Agent may or, at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Facility Maturity Date to have occurred (in which case the Facility Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred); provided, that upon the occurrence of any event described in paragraph (f) or paragraph (h) of Exhibit V, the Facility Maturity Date shall occur automatically. Upon any such declaration, occurrence or deemed occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Managing Agents and the Lenders, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies of a secured party provided after default under the applicable UCC and under other applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
ARTICLE X
REMEDIES
Section 10.1    Actions Upon an Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then (upon direction of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), in addition to any
-28-



and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, and, in addition, may take the following remedial actions:
(a)    The Administrative Agent may with the consent of, or shall at the direction of, the Majority Managing Agents in their sole discretion, without notice to the Borrowers except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against amounts payable to the Borrowers from the Bank Accounts or any part thereof.
(b)    The Administrative Agent may with the consent of, or shall at the direction of, the Majority Managing Agents in their sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrowers agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the applicable Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the applicable Borrower in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrowers, any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrowers and their respective successors or assigns.
(c)    Upon the completion of any sale under Section 10.1(b), the applicable Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any purchaser, such Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
(d)    At any sale under Section 10.1(b), the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.
(e)    The Administrative Agent may exercise at the Borrowers’ expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrowers under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrowers to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements.
Section 10.2    Receipt of Payments in Trust. All payments received by the Borrowers or the Servicer under or in connection with the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such party and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent or deposited in the applicable Concentration Account in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
-29-



Section 10.3    Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived, any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent as Collateral, whether from Pool Receivables or otherwise, and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied (i) prior to acceleration of the Facility Maturity Date pursuant to Section 9.1, as set forth in Section 2.4(d)(ii)., and (ii) after acceleration of the Facility Maturity Date pursuant to Section 9.1, as the Administrative Agent may direct. The Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of the Collateral are insufficient to repay the Secured Obligations in full. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 2.4(d)(ii), whether or not such acceleration has occurred.
Section 10.4    Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrowers or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstance without notice or demand.
Section 10.5    Severability of Remedies. The invalidity of any remedy in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such remedy in any other jurisdiction. The invalidity or unenforceability of the remedies herein provided in any jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the right of the enforcement in such jurisdiction or elsewhere of any of the other remedies herein provided.
Section 10.6    Waiver of Agreement. The Borrowers agree, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither of them nor anyone claiming through or under either of them will set-off, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such Laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshalled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.
Section 10.7    Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, which appointment is coupled with an interest, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article X including with the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale,
-30-



assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document, and (e) to take and perform any applicable foreclosure action (including notifying and communicating with all relevant Obligors) with respect to any Related Security for any Pool Receivable financed hereunder, and such Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or a purchaser of Collateral, each Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. Each Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with a separate power of attorney with respect to this Section 10.7 (which may be included as part of the power of attorney required under Section 7.4(b)) but such power of attorney shall be used by the Administrative Agent only subject to, and in a manner consistent with, such Sections.

Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Managing Agents (or in the case of any Managing Agent, the Lenders within its Lender Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Lender Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

(d)    Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Managing Agent or by any Lender on whose behalf such Managing Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Managing Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Lenders in respect of which such Managing Agent is identified as being the “Managing Agent” in accordance with the definition of “Managing Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Managing Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Lenders on whose behalf it is purportedly acting.

In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Managing Agent whereupon each such Managing Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its related Lenders. In the event that a Managing Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrative Agent), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action concerning an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default as may be directed by the Majority Managing Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Lenders), but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and the Managing Agents.
Section 11.6    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Managing Agents. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent, or any Managing Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, the Performance Guarantor, the Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
-33-



Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent, as applicable. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Managing Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrowers, the Performance Guarantor, the Servicer or any Originator, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document.

Section 11.8    Indemnification. Each Committed Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (but solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Originator to do so), ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Person as determined by final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
Section 11.9    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Borrowers, each Lender and Managing Agent, resign as Administrative Agent. Such resignation shall not become effective until (x) a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Majority Managing Agents and has accepted such appointment and (y) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall have consented to such successor Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of
-34-



the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.7 and Articles VI, VIII and XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.10    Erroneous Payment.
(a)    If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Advances, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 11.10 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Advances, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)    it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
-35-



(ii)    such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.10(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.10(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 11.10(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(c)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or under any Transaction Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(d)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advance Principal Balance (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advance Principal Balance (but not Commitments) of such Advances, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advance subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advance acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the
-36-



Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advance acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(f)    The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Transaction Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided, that the parties obligations under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrowers or Servicer; provided, that this Section 11.10 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the obligations of the Borrowers or the Servicer relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or the Servicer for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(g)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(h)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Section 12.3    Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.
(a)    Participations. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Lender may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Lender hereunder; provided, that no Lender shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Lender shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Lender shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Lenders. Any such
-38-



Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Transaction Documents. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.7 and 6.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein and subject to such Participant’s compliance with the requirements of Section 12.6; it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.6 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3(b); provided, that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.7 or 6.3 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
Each Lender (or its Managing Agent on its behalf) that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of its Participants and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such Participant’s interest in any Advance Principal Balance, Commitments or other rights or obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender or Managing Agent shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in such Advance Principal Balance, Commitments or other rights or obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Advance Principal Balance, Commitments or other rights or obligations is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or proposed Section 1.163-5 of such regulations and any applicable amended or successor regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(b)    Assignments by Committed Lenders. Any Committed Lender may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Committed Lender”), reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the related Managing Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex F with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Committed Lender, such selling Committed Lender, such related Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the Borrowers; provided, that (1) the consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (2) no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (3) no consent of the Borrowers shall be required if the assignment is made by any Committed Lender to the Administrative Agent, to any other Committed Lender, to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Committed Lender, which Affiliate is a bank or similar financial institution or to any Program Support Provider, which Program Support Provider is a bank or similar financial institution. Any such assignment by a Committed Lender cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrowers, the Servicer, such related Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Committed Lender to the selling Committed Lender of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Committed Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Committed Lender shall for all purposes be a Committed Lender party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of
-39-



the Commitment of the selling Committed Lender allocable to such Purchasing Committed Lender shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Lender transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Committed Lender as a “Committed Lender” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Committed ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment.
(c)    Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Lender may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its rights to the Advance Principal Balance, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance. In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Lender of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Borrowers agree that each Liquidity Provider and Program Support Provider of any Conduit Lender hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.5 and 2.7 and Articles VI and VIII.
(d)    Other Assignments by Conduit Lenders. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Advance Principal Balance, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance (or, in each case, any portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Lender of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, including any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, and upon such assignment such Conduit Lender shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, that such Conduit Lender may not, without the prior consent of its Committed Lenders and the Administrative Agent, make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (x) is a commercial paper conduit that (i) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Managing Agent the Managing Agent of the assigning Conduit Lender or an Affiliate thereof, (iii) issues commercial paper or other notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Lender and (iv) has been consented to by the Borrowers; provided, that (1) the consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (2) no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (3) no such consent shall be required if such assignee is another commercial paper conduit administered by the same Program Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, or (y) is a Committed Lender, Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider for such Conduit Lender. Any assigning Conduit Lender shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Lender, assigning any portion of its interest in the Advance Principal Balance, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance, to its assignee. Such Conduit Lender shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Advance Principal Balance, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Lender hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Advance Principal Balance, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Accrued Interest therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Lender unless the Borrowers, the related Managing Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Accrued Interest).
(e)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers (such agency being solely for Tax purposes) and each Affected Person and its successors and assigns, to
-40-



the extent such Person has Advances, Advance Principal Balance, or Accrued Interest owing thereto), shall maintain at an office of the Administrative Agent, a copy of each Assumption Agreement and Transfer Supplement delivered to and accepted by it hereunder and a register for the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of each Lender Group and the aggregate outstanding Advance Principal Balance, and Accrued Interest owing to each Lender or other Affected Person from time to time (and such other Affected Person) (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Lenders, and such other Affected Persons shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Managing Agent and any Lender (and any such other Affected Person) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender (and each such other Affected Person) that assigns or transfers all or part of its Advances, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance, shall be required to provide the Administrative Agent with notice of such assignment in order for such assignee’s interests in the Advances to be reflected in the Register. Each assignor may, in connection with any permitted assignment, disclose to the applicable assignee (that shall have agreed to be bound by Section 12.5) any information relating to any Originator, the Servicer, the Borrowers, the Performance Guarantor or the Pool Receivables furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of such Originator, the Servicer, the Borrowers, the Performance Guarantor, any Lender or the Administrative Agent.
(f)    Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to mean the successors and assigns of such party; all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any parties hereto that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as contemplated in Section 7.1(d), none of the Borrowers, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor may assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any interest herein or under any other Transaction Document, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent.
(g)    Enforcement By Agents. Without limiting any other rights that may be available under applicable Law, the rights of the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each Lender may be enforced through it or by its agents.
(h)    Certain Pledges. Without limiting the right of any Lender to sell or grant interests, security interests or participations to any Person as otherwise described in this Section 12.3, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any portion of its interest in the Advances, and interests in its Advance Principal Balance to secure its obligations as a Lender hereunder, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, the United States Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Lender of Advances without notice to or consent of the Borrowers, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 12.20    Judgment Currency.
(a)    If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) to another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the Spot Rate on the second Business Day preceding that on which judgment is given.
(b)    The obligation of the Borrowers, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Originator, as the case may be, in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, Managing Agent or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender, such Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, such Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, the Borrowers, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor, as the case may be, agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, such Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against any loss resulting from such purchase or from the inability to effect such purchase, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such lender, such Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrowers, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor, as the case may be, such excess.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
-48-



Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Borrowers without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or further action or consent of the Borrowers, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer.
(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrowers, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer.
(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(d)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Calculation Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
-49-



Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Calculation Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, or the conversion to or continuation of an Advance bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance to be computed by reference to the Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
(f)    Disclaimer of Liability. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Alternate Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Alternate Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Alternate Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
As used in this Section 12.21:
“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Calculation Period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Calculation Period” pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 12.21.
-50-



“Benchmark” means, initially, the Term SOFR Rate; provided, that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section 12.21.
“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first applicable alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment; and

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement in relation thereto, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Calculation Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and the timing of making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of the Term SOFR Rate or such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the use and administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for
-51-



the administration of the Term SOFR Rate or the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrative Agent which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;
For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided, that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2) a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided, that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that
-52-



all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 12.21 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 12.21.
“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or, if no floor is specified, zero.
“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Borrowers and the Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement to continue each Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that such Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Herc, the Servicer, each Originator, and any other Person, and is not a division of Herc, the Servicer, the Originators, its or their respective other Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Borrowers and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order to ensure each of the following until the Facility Maturity Date:
(a)    The US Borrower will be a limited liability company whose primary activities are restricted in its limited liability company agreement to (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from any Originator, owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in the Collateral; (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool; and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities.

The limited liability company agreement of the US Borrower, and the constating documents of the Canadian Borrower, shall at all times provide that (i) such Borrower’s Manager (as defined in its limited liability company agreement or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Director (as defined in the constating documents of the Canadian Borrower) shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to such Borrower unless the Manager and the Independent Manager or the Director and the Independent Director, as applicable, shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action; and (ii) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Manager or Independent Director, as applicable.
(d)    Neither the Independent Manager nor Independent Director of a Borrower shall at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for either Borrower, Herc, the Servicer or any Originator or any of their respective other Affiliates.

Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Borrowers will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Herc or the Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Borrowers (or any Affiliate thereof) share items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; provided, that the Servicer may pay all (or any portion of) the expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees.

Other than with respect to certain services to be provided during the continuation of an Event of Default in accordance with Section 7.5(b), any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Borrowers will be compensated by the Borrowers at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Borrowers. Neither Borrower, on the one hand, nor the Servicer or any Originator, on the other, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Borrowers and the Servicer will immediately correct any known misunderstanding with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.
