EXPLANATORY NOTE
COMBINED FORM 10-K
This 2016 Annual Report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 of Hertz Global and Hertz.
Hertz Global owns all shares of the common stock of Hertz through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC.
Below are diagrams depicting the basic organizational structure of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and The Hertz Corporation before and subsequent to the Spin-Off:
Prior to the internal reorganization and the Spin-Off
*Prior to the internal reorganization and the Spin-Off, New Hertz conducted no operations.
Following the internal reorganization and the Spin-Off
*Newly formed entities for purposes of effecting the internal reorganization and the Spin-Off.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
EXPLANATORY NOTE (Continued)
Management operates Hertz Global and Hertz as one enterprise. The management of Hertz Global consists of the same members as the management of Hertz. These individuals are officers of Hertz Global and employees of Hertz. The individuals that comprise Hertz Global's Board of Directors are also the same individuals that make up Hertz's Board of Directors.
We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of Hertz Global and Hertz into this single report results in the following benefits:
| |
• | enhancing investors' understanding of Hertz Global and Hertz by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business; |
| |
• | eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both Hertz Global and Hertz; and |
| |
• | creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined annual report instead of two separate annual reports. |
Hertz holds all of the revenue earning vehicles, property, plant and equipment and all other assets, including the ownership interests in consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. Hertz conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a corporation with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by Hertz Global, which are contributed to Hertz, Hertz generates required capital through its operations or through its incurrence of indebtedness.
Hertz Global does not conduct business itself, other than issuing public equity or debt obligations from time to time, and incurring expenses required to operate as a public company. Hertz Global and Hertz have entered into a master loan agreement whereby Hertz Global may borrow from Hertz up to $425 million. Transactions recorded under the master loan agreement are eliminated upon consolidation of Hertz Global but not upon consolidation of Hertz. Differences between the financial statements of Hertz Global and Hertz are limited to the activity described above and the remaining assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Hertz Global and Hertz are the same on their respective financial statements.
Although Hertz is generally the entity that enters into contracts and holds assets and debt, Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, therefore, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global. In the sections that combine disclosure of Hertz Global and Hertz, this report refers to actions as being actions of the Company, or Hertz Global, which is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and Hertz Global operates the business through Hertz. When appropriate, Hertz Global and Hertz are named specifically for their individual disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of Hertz Global and Hertz are separately disclosed and explained.
This report also includes separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hertz Global and Hertz in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that Hertz Global and Hertz are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.
This Combined Form 10-K is separately filed by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and The Hertz Corporation. Each registrant hereto is filing on its own behalf all of the information contained in this 2016 Annual Report that relates to such registrant. Each registrant hereto is not filing any information that does not relate to such registrant, and therefore makes no representation as to any such information.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 30, 2016, Old Hertz Holdings completed the Spin-Off. Despite the fact that this was a reverse spin off and Hertz Global was spun off from Old Hertz Holdings and was the legal spinnee in the transaction, for accounting purposes, due to the relative significance of New Hertz to Old Hertz Holdings, Hertz Global is considered the spinnor or divesting entity and Herc Holdings is considered the spinnee or divested entity. As a result, New Hertz, or Hertz Global, is the
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

EXPLANATORY NOTE (Continued)
“accounting successor” to Old Hertz Holdings. As such, the historical financial information of Hertz reflects the equipment rental business as a discontinued operation and the historical financial information of Hertz Global reflects the equipment rental business and certain parent legal entities as discontinued operations. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Unless noted otherwise, information disclosed in this 2016 Annual Report pertain to Hertz Global's and Hertz's continuing operations.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OUR COMPANY
Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC which wholly owns Hertz, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.
We operate our vehicle rental business globally through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 9,700 corporate and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australia, The Caribbean, the Middle East and New Zealand. We are one of the largest worldwide airport general use vehicle rental companies and our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We have an extensive network of rental locations in the U.S. and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain one of the leading airport vehicle rental brand market shares, by overall reported revenues, in the U.S. and at major airports in Europe where data regarding vehicle rental concessionaire activity is available. We are a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary.
OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We have identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:
| |
• | U.S. RAC - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, in the U.S. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated car rental locations in the U.S., enabling us to provide consistent quality and service. We also have franchisees and associates that operate rental locations under our brands throughout the U.S; |
| |
• | International RAC - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, internationally. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated car rental locations internationally, a majority of which are in Europe. Our franchisees and partners also operate rental locations in approximately 150 countries and jurisdictions, including many of the countries in which we also have company-operated rental locations; and |
| |
• | All Other Operations - Comprised of our Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, and other business activities. Donlen is a leading provider of vehicle leasing and fleet management services for corporate fleets. Donlen's fleet management programs provide outsourcing solutions to reduce fleet operating costs and improve driver productivity. These programs include administration of preventive maintenance, advisory services, and fuel and accident management along with other complementary services. Additionally, Donlen provides a specialized consulting and technology expertise that allows us to model, measure and manage fleet performance more effectively and efficiently. |
In addition to the above reportable segments, we have Corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.

Set forth below are charts showing revenues and revenue earning vehicles by reportable segment and geographic area:
For further financial information on our segments, see (i) Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment" and (ii) Note 20, "Segment Information," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this 2016 Annual Report.
U.S. and International Rental Car Segments
Our U.S. and International RAC segments generated $6,114 million and $2,097 million, respectively, in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2016.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Markets and Competition
Competition among vehicle rental industry participants is intense and is primarily based on price, vehicle availability and quality, service, reliability, rental locations, product innovation, competition from online travel agents and vehicle rental brokers. We believe that the prominence and service reputation of the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands, our extensive worldwide ownership of vehicle rental operations and our commitment to innovation and service provide us with a strong competitive foundation.
U.S.
The U.S. represents approximately $28 billion in estimated annual industry revenues for 2016. The average number of vehicles in the U.S. vehicle rental industry grew 5% in 2016 to a high of over 2 million vehicles. U.S. industry revenue per unit of approximately $1,024 was slightly lower than the past three years. Rentals by airline travelers at or near airports (‘‘airport rentals’’) are influenced by developments in the travel industry and particularly in airline passenger traffic (‘‘enplanements’’) as well as the Gross Domestic Product (‘‘GDP’’). Off airport rental volume is primarily driven by local business use, such as vehicle repair shops, leisure travel and insurance replacements.
Our principal vehicle rental industry competitors in the U.S. are Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“ABG”) which currently operates the Avis, Budget, ZipCar and Payless brands and Enterprise Holdings, which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company ("Enterprise"), National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands. There are also local and regional vehicle rental companies, and ride sharing companies that have some overlap in customer use cases, largely for short length trips in urban areas, which we do not deem principal competitors in the industry.
Europe
Europe represents approximately $15 billion in annual industry revenues. Europe has generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel. The European off airport vehicle rental market has been significantly more developed than it is in the U.S. Within Europe, the largest markets are France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Throughout Europe we do business through company-operated rental locations as well as through our partners or franchisees to whom we have licensed use of our brands.
Our principal pan-European competitors in the vehicle rental industry are Europcar, Enterprise and ABG operating the Avis, Budget and Zipcar brands and the Maggiore brand in Italy. In certain European countries, there are also other companies and brands with substantial market shares, including Sixt AG (operating the Sixt brand) in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom; and local providers, including GoldCar in southern Europe.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific, including Australia and New Zealand, represents approximately $13 billion in annual industry revenues. Within this region, the largest markets in which we do business are Australia, China, Japan and South Korea. In each of these markets we have company-operated rental locations or our Hertz brand is present through our partners or franchisees to whom we have licensed the Hertz brand.
Our principal vehicle rental industry competitors in the Asia Pacific market place are ABG, operating the Avis, Budget and Zipcar brands, and Europcar, operating the Europcar and Keddy brands.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Middle East
The Middle East and Africa represent approximately $4 billion in annual industry revenues. Within these regions, the largest markets in which we do business are the United Arab Emirates and South Africa. In each of these markets we do business through our franchisees to whom we have licensed use of our brands.
Our principal vehicle rental industry competitors in the Middle East market are Fast Rent a Car, and ABG, operating the Avis and Budget brands.
Latin America
The Latin America markets represent approximately $3 billion in annual industry revenues. Within Latin America the largest markets in which we do business are Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Mexico and Aruba. In each of these markets we have company-operated rental locations or our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands are present through our partners or franchisees to whom we have licensed use of the respective brand.
In Latin America, the principal vehicle rental industry competitors are ABG, operating the Avis, Budget and Zipcar brands, and Enterprise Holdings, which operates the Alamo Rent A Car brand in the region. Other key players in the region are Localiza, Unidas and Movida.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to form a strategic partnership with Localiza encompassing co-branding in Brazil and use of the Localiza brand in other select markets, customer referrals and the exchange of technology and information. As part of the agreement, Localiza will purchase our operations in Brazil. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2017, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. See Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Brands
Our U.S. and International vehicle rental businesses are primarily operated through three brands - Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty. We offer multiple brands in order to provide customers a full range of rental services at different price points, levels of service, offerings and products. Each of our brands generally maintains separate airport counters, reservations, marketing and other customer contact activities. We achieve synergies across our brands by utilizing a single fleet management team and combined maintenance, cleaning and back office functions, where applicable.
Our top tier brand, Hertz, is one of the most recognized brands in the world, offering premium services that redefined the industry. This is consistent with numerous published best-in-class vehicle rental awards that we have won, both in the U.S. and internationally, over many years. We have sought to support our reputation for quality and customer service in vehicle rental through a variety of innovative service offerings, such as Hertz Gold Plus Rewards; and new in 2016, Hertz Ultimate Choice; our one-way rental program (“Rent-it-Here/Leave-it-There”); our national-scale luxury rental program (“Prestige Collection”); our sports vehicle rental program (“Adrenaline Collection”); our environmentally friendly rental program (“Green Traveler Collection”); and, our elite sports and luxury vehicle rental program (“Dream Cars”). We intend to maintain our position as a premier provider of vehicle rental services through an intense focus on service, quality and product innovation.
Our smart value brand, Dollar, is the choice for the discerning value seeker with elevated expectations. The Dollar brand's main focus is serving the airport vehicle rental market, which is comprised of business and leisure travelers. The majority of its locations are at or near airport facilities. Dollar operates primarily through company-owned locations in the U.S. and Canada, and also globally licenses to independent franchisees which operate as a part of the Dollar brand system.
Our experiential value brand, Thrifty, is the brand for vacationers, tourists and those who see life as the ultimate adventure. Thrifty serves both the airport and off airport markets primarily through company-owned locations in the U.S. and Canada, and also globally licenses to independent franchisees which operate as part of the Thrifty brand system.

Internationally, we also offer our Firefly brand which is a deep value brand for price conscious leisure travelers, providing everything the shopper is seeking with a focus on low price. We have Firefly locations servicing local area airports in select international leisure markets where other deep value brands have a significant presence.
Operations
Locations
We operate both airport and off airport locations which utilize common vehicle fleets, are supervised by common country, regional and local area management, use many common systems and rely on common maintenance and administrative centers. Additionally, our airport and off airport locations utilize common marketing activities and have many of the same customers. We regard both types of locations as aspects of a single, unitary, vehicle rental business. Off airport revenues comprised approximately 32% of our worldwide rental vehicle revenues in 2016 and approximately 30% in 2015.
Airport
We have approximately 1,600 airport rental locations in the U.S. and approximately 1,400 airport rental locations internationally. Our international vehicle rental operations have company-operated locations in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Slovakia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We believe that our extensive U.S. and international network of company-operated locations contributes to the consistency of our service, cost control, vehicle utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and our ability to offer one-way rentals.
For our airport company-operated rental locations, we have obtained concessions or similar leasing agreements or arrangements, granting us the right to conduct a vehicle rental business at the respective airport. Our concessions were obtained from the airports' operators, which are typically governmental bodies or authorities, following either negotiation or bidding for the right to operate a vehicle rental business. The terms of an airport concession typically require us to pay the airport's operator concession fees based upon a specified percentage of the revenues we generate at the airport, subject to a minimum annual guarantee. Under most concessions, we must also pay fixed rent for terminal counters or other leased properties and facilities. Most concessions are for a fixed length of time, while others create operating rights and payment obligations that are terminable at any time.
The terms of our concessions typically do not forbid us from seeking, and in a few instances actually require us to seek, reimbursement from customers for concession fees we pay; however, in certain jurisdictions the law limits or forbids our doing so. Where we are required or permitted to seek such reimbursement, it is our general practice to do so. Certain of our concession agreements may require the consent of the airport's operator in connection with material changes in our ownership. A growing number of larger airports are building consolidated airport vehicle rental facilities to alleviate congestion at the airport. These consolidated rental facilities provide a more common customer experience and may eliminate certain competitive advantages among the brands as competitors operate out of one centralized facility for both customer rental and return operations, share consolidated busing operations and maintain image standards mandated by the airports. See Item 1A, "Risk Factors” in this 2016 Annual Report.
Off Airport
We have approximately 2,600 off airport locations in the U.S. and approximately 4,100 off airport rental locations internationally. Our off airport rental customers include people who prefer to rent vehicles closer to their home or place of work for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. Our off airport customers also include people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies following accidents in which their vehicles were damaged, those expecting to lease vehicles that are not yet available from their leasing companies and replacement renters.

When compared to our airport rental locations, an off airport rental location typically uses smaller rental facilities with fewer employees, conducts pick-up and delivery services and serves replacement renters using specialized systems and processes. On average, off airport locations generate fewer transactions per period than airport locations.
Our off airport locations offer us the following benefits:
| |
• | Provide customers a more convenient and geographically extensive network of rental locations, thereby creating revenue opportunities from replacement renters, non-airline travel renters and airline travelers with local rental needs; |
| |
• | Provide a more balanced revenue mix by reducing our reliance on air travel and therefore reducing our exposure to external events that may disrupt airline travel trends; |
| |
• | Contribute to higher vehicle utilization as a result of the longer average rental periods associated with off airport business, compared to those of airport rentals; |
| |
• | Insurance replacement rental volume is less seasonal than that of other business and leisure rentals, which permits efficiencies in both vehicle and labor planning; and |
| |
• | Cross-selling opportunities exist for us to promote off airport rentals among frequent airport Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program renters and, conversely, to promote airport rentals to off airport renters. |
Rates
We rent a wide variety of makes and models of vehicles. We rent vehicles on an hourly (in select markets), daily, weekend, weekly, monthly or multi-month basis, with rental charges computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. Our rates vary by brand and at different locations depending on local market conditions and other competitive and cost factors. While vehicles are usually returned to the locations from which they are rented, we also allow one-way rentals from and to certain locations. In addition to vehicle rentals and franchisee fees, we generate revenues from reimbursements by customers of airport concession fees and vehicle licensing costs, fueling charges, and charges for ancillary customer products and services such as supplemental equipment (child seats and ski racks), loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service, navigation systems and satellite radio services.
Reservations
We accept reservations for our vehicles on a brand-by-brand basis, with each of our brands maintaining, and accepting reservations through, an independent internet site. Our brands generally accept reservations only for a class of vehicles, although Hertz accepts reservations for specific makes and models of vehicles in our Prestige Collection, our Adrenaline Collection, our Green Traveler Collection and our Dream Cars collection with a limited number of models in high-volume, leisure-oriented destinations.
When customers reserve vehicles for rental from us and our franchisees, they may seek to do so through travel agents or third-party travel websites. In many of those cases, the travel agent or website will utilize a third-party operated computerized reservation system, also known as a Global Distribution System (“GDS”) to contact us and make the reservation.
In major countries, including the U.S. and all other countries with company-operated locations, customers may also reserve vehicles for rental from us and our franchisees worldwide through local, national or toll-free telephone calls to our reservations center, directly through our rental locations or, in the case of replacement rentals, through proprietary automated systems serving the insurance industry. Additionally, we accept reservations for rentals worldwide through our websites, for us and our franchisees. We also offer the ability to reserve vehicles through our smartphone apps for the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands.

Customer Service Offerings
At our major airport rental locations, as well as at some smaller airport and off airport locations, customers participating in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program are able to rent vehicles in an expedited manner. Participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program often bypass the rental counter entirely and proceed directly to their vehicle upon arrival at our facility. Participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program are also eligible to earn Hertz Gold Plus Rewards points that may be redeemed for free rental days or converted to awards of other companies' loyalty programs. For the year ended December 31, 2016, rentals by Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members accounted for approximately 34% of our worldwide rental transactions. We believe the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program provides a significant competitive advantage to us, particularly among frequent travelers, and we have targeted such travelers for participation in the program. Additionally, in 2016 we began offering electronic rental agreements and returns for our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty customers. Simplifying the rental transaction saves customers time and provides greater convenience through access to digitally available rental contracts. This capability is expected to be available globally by early 2017.
Hertz Gold Choice offers Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members an option to choose the vehicle they drive. Members' vehicles are preassigned but Hertz Gold Choice allows the member the option to choose a different model and color from those vehicles available at the new Hertz Gold Choice area. This service is free of charge to Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members who book a midsize class or above. The Hertz Gold Choice program is offered at 58 U.S. airport locations and 9 locations in Europe.
Hertz Ultimate Choice is an expansion of Hertz Gold Choice; when a Hertz Gold Plus Rewards member books a midsize class vehicle or higher, they can choose the vehicle they drive from within the class reserved at no additional cost. Members may also upgrade to a different car category based on their selection. Additionally, members will also have access to exclusive Hertz Ultimate Choice lots that feature a wider selection of vehicles when they make a reservation for a midsize car or above. The Hertz Ultimate Choice program is offered at 7 U.S. airport locations as of December 31, 2016. The Company plans to expand the Hertz Ultimate Choice program to additional locations in 2017.
Hertz also offers a Mobile Gold Alerts service, also known as Carfirmations, through which an SMS text message and/or email is sent with the vehicle information and location, with the option to choose another vehicle from their smart phone prior to arrival. It is available to participating Hertz Gold Plus Rewards customers approximately 30 minutes prior to their arrival. We also offer Hertz e-Return, which allows customers to drop off their vehicle and go at the time of rental return. Additionally, in select locations customers can bypass the rental line through our ExpressRent Kiosks.
Car-Sharing
We offer a car-sharing membership service, referred to as Hertz 24/7, which rents vehicles by the hour and/or by the day, at various locations internationally, primarily in Europe and Australia. Members reserve vehicles online, then pick up the vehicles at various locations, such as a university, corporate campus or a retailer, without the need to visit a Hertz rental office. Members are charged an hourly or daily vehicle-rental fee which includes fuel, insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance and in-vehicle customer service.
Customers and Business Mix
We conduct active sales and marketing programs to attract and retain customers. Our sales force calls on companies and other organizations whose employees and associates need to rent vehicles for business purposes. In addition, our sales force works with membership associations, tour operators, travel companies and other groups whose members, participants and customers rent vehicles for either business or leisure purposes. Our specialized sales force calls on companies with replacement rental needs, including insurance and leasing companies, automobile repair companies, and vehicle dealers. We also advertise our vehicle rental offerings through a variety of traditional media channels, such as newspapers, direct mail and the internet. In addition to advertising, we conduct a variety of other forms of marketing and promotion, including travel industry business partnerships and press and public relations activities.
We categorize our vehicle rental business based on (i) the purpose for which customers rent from us (business or leisure) and (ii) the type of location from which they rent (airport or off airport). The following charts set forth the

percentages of rental revenues and rental transactions in our U.S. and international operations based on these categories.

Revenues Transactions
Customers who rent from us for “business” purposes include those who require vehicles in connection with commercial activities, the activities of governments and other organizations or for temporary vehicle replacement purposes. Most business customers rent vehicles from us on terms that we have negotiated with their employers or other entities with which they are associated, and those terms can differ substantially from the terms on which we rent vehicles to the general public. We have negotiated arrangements relating to vehicle rental with many large businesses, governments and other organizations, including most Fortune 500 companies.
Customers who rent from us for “leisure” purposes include not only individual travelers booking vacation travel rentals with us but also people renting to meet other personal needs. Leisure rentals, generally, are longer in duration and generate more revenue per transaction than business rentals. Leisure rentals also include rentals by customers of U.S. and international tour operators, which are usually a part of tour packages that can include air travel and hotel accommodations.

Revenues Transactions
Our business and leisure customers rent from both our airport and off airport locations. Demand for airport rentals is correlated with airline travel patterns, and transaction volumes generally follow enplanement and GDP trends on a global basis. Customers often make reservations for airport rentals when they book their flight plans, which make our strong relationships with travel agents, associations and other partners (e.g., airlines) a key competitive strategy in generating consistent and recurring revenue streams.
Off airport rentals include insurance replacements, therefore, we must establish agreements with the referring insurers establishing the relevant rental terms, including the arrangements made for billing and payment. We have identified approximately 192 insurance companies, ranging from local or regional vehicle carriers to large, national companies, as our target insurance replacement market. As of December 31, 2016, we were a preferred or recognized supplier for 119 of these insurance companies and a co-primary for 39 of them.
Fleet
We believe we are one of the largest private sector purchasers of new vehicles in the world. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we operated a peak rental fleet in the U.S. of approximately 515,900 vehicles and a peak rental fleet in our international operations of approximately 196,600 vehicles, and in each case exclusive of our franchisees'

fleet and Donlen's leasing fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2016, our approximate average holding period for a rental vehicle was 16 months in the U.S. and 14 months in our international operations.
Our fleet composition at December 31, 2016 is as follows:
Fleet Composition by Vehicle Manufacturer
As of December 31, 2016
U.S. International*
*Vehicle manufacturers Groupe PSA (Peugeot and Citroen), Volvo, Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi and Seat), Daimler AG (Mercedes Benz) and BMW together comprise another 25% of the international fleet and are included as "Other" in the overall and international charts above.
Purchases of vehicles are financed through cash from operations and by active and ongoing global borrowing programs. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” in this 2016 Annual Report.
The vehicles we purchase are either program vehicles or non-program vehicles. We periodically review the efficiencies of an optimal mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet and adjust the ratio of program and non-program vehicles in our fleet as needed based on contract negotiations and the economic environment pertaining to our industry.

For program vehicles, under our repurchase programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Repurchase prices under repurchase programs are based on the original cost less a set daily depreciation amount. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the vehicles covered by the programs upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the vehicles. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under the programs and allow us to reduce the variability of depreciation expense for each vehicle, however, typically the acquisition cost is higher. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on economic demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles.
Program vehicles as a percentage of all vehicles purchased within each of our U.S. and International vehicle rental segments were as follows:
Non-program vehicles are not purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Rather, we dispose of non-program vehicles, as well as program vehicles that become ineligible for manufacturer repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs, through a variety of disposition channels, including auctions, brokered sales, sales to wholesalers and sales to dealers. We also dispose of vehicles at our own Hertz retail sales outlets, primarily in the U.S. which consists of a network of 80 company-operated vehicle sales locations dedicated to the sale of used vehicles from our rental fleet. Vehicles disposed of through our retail outlets allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing and title fees.
We also offer Rent2Buy in 35 states and several European countries, an innovative program designed to sell used rental vehicles. Customers have an opportunity for a test rental of a vehicle from our rental fleet. If the customer purchases the vehicle, he or she is credited with a portion of their rental charges. The purchase transaction is completed through the internet and by mail in those states where permitted.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2016, of the vehicles sold in our U.S. vehicle rental operations that were not repurchased by manufacturers, we sold approximately 34% at auction, 36% through dealer direct and 30% through our Rent2Buy program or at retail locations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, of the vehicles sold in our international vehicle rental operations that were not repurchased by manufacturers, we sold approximately 13% at auction, 79% through dealer direct and 8% through our Rent2Buy program or at retail locations.
We maintain automobile maintenance centers at or near certain airports and in certain urban and off airport areas, which provide maintenance facilities for our vehicles. Many of these facilities include sophisticated vehicle diagnostic and repair equipment and are accepted by automobile manufacturers as eligible to perform and receive reimbursement for warranty work. Collision damage and major repairs are generally performed by independent contractors.
Franchisees
In certain U.S. and international markets, we have found it efficient to utilize independent franchisees, which rent vehicles that they own, under our Hertz, Dollar, or Thrifty brands. In certain markets and under certain circumstances, franchisees are given the opportunity to acquire franchises for multiple brands.
We believe that our franchisee arrangements are important to our business because they enable us to offer expanded national and international service and a broader one-way rental program. Licenses are issued principally by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, under franchise arrangements to independent franchisees and affiliates who are engaged in the vehicle rental business in the U.S. and in many other countries.
Franchisees generally pay fees based on a percentage of their revenues or the number of vehicles they operate. The operations of all franchisees, including the purchase and ownership of vehicles, are financed independently by the franchisees, and we do not have any investment interest in the franchisees or their fleets. Fees from franchisees, including initial franchise fees, are used to, among other things, generally support the cost of our brand awareness programs, reservations system, sales and marketing efforts and certain other services and are less than 2% of our consolidated revenues each period. In return, franchisees are provided the use of the applicable brand name, certain operational support and training, reservations through our reservations channels, and other services. In addition to vehicle rental, certain franchisees outside the U.S. engage in vehicle leasing, chauffeur-driven rentals and renting camper vans.
U.S. franchisees ordinarily are limited as to transferability without our consent and are terminable by us only for cause or after a fixed term. Franchisees in the U.S. may generally terminate for any reason on 90 days' notice. In Europe and certain other international jurisdictions, franchisees typically do not have early termination rights. Initial license fees or the price for the sale to a franchisee of a company-owned location may be payable over a term of several years. We continue to issue new licenses and, from time to time, purchase franchisee businesses.
Seasonality
Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during spring and summer peak ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, vehicles and staff are decreased accordingly. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.
The following chart sets forth this seasonal effect of our vehicle rental operations by presenting quarterly revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Amounts are computed independently each quarter, therefore, the sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal the total amount for the respective year due to rounding.

All Other Operations
Through our Donlen subsidiary, we are a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated fleet leasing and fleet management solutions for corporate fleets. Our All Other Operations segment generated $592 million in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2016, substantially all of which was attributable to Donlen.
Donlen
Donlen provides a comprehensive array of fleet leasing, financing, telematics, and fleet management services to commercial fleets in the U.S. and Canada. Products offered by Donlen include:
| |
• | Vehicle financing, acquisition and remarketing; |
| |
• | License, title and registration; |
| |
• | Maintenance consultation; |
| |
• | Telematics-based location, driver performance and scorecard reporting; and |
Donlen’s leased fleet consists primarily of passenger vehicles, cargo vans and light trucks. Vehicles are acquired directly from domestic and foreign manufacturers, as well as dealers. As of December 31, 2016, more than half of Donlen’s leased fleet is 2015 model year or newer.
Donlen’s primary product for vehicle and light to medium truck fleets is an open-ended terminal rental adjustment clause ("TRAC") lease. For most customers, the vehicle must be leased for a minimum of 12 months, after which the lease converts to a month-to-month lease allowing the vehicle to be surrendered any time thereafter. Our sale of the vehicle following the termination of the lease may result in a TRAC adjustment, through which the customer is credited or charged with the surplus or loss on the vehicle. Approximately 80% of Donlen’s lease portfolio consists of floating-rate leases which allow lease charges to be adjusted based on benchmark indices.
Donlen offers financing solutions for heavier-duty trucks and equipment. Lease financing is provided through syndication arrangements with lending institutions. Donlen originates the leases, acquires the assets, and services the lease throughout the term.

Donlen provides services to leased and non-leased fleets consisting of fuel purchasing and management, preventive maintenance, repair consultation, toll management and accident management. Additionally, Donlen manages license and title, vehicle registration, and regulatory compliance. Donlen’s telematics products provide enhanced visibility and reporting over driver and vehicle performance.
The commercial fleet market is one of the largest segments of the U.S. automotive industry, primarily consisting of vehicles utilized in a sales, service, or delivery application. The fleet management industry has experienced significant consolidation over the years and today our principal fleet management competitors in the U.S. and Canada are Enterprise, Automotive Resources International, Element Financial Corporation, Wheels, Inc. and LeasePlan Corporation N.V.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2016, we employed approximately 36,000 persons, consisting of approximately 27,000 persons in our U.S. operations and approximately 9,000 persons in our international operations. International employees are covered by a wide variety of union contracts and governmental regulations affecting, among other things, compensation, job retention rights and pensions. Labor contracts covering the terms of employment of approximately 23% of our workforce in the U.S. (including those in the U.S. territories) are presently in effect under active contracts with local unions, affiliated primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. Labor contracts covering almost one-third of these employees will expire during 2017. We have had no material work stoppage as a result of labor problems during the last ten years, and we believe our labor relations to be good. Nevertheless, we may be unable to negotiate new labor contracts on terms advantageous to us, or without labor interruption.
In addition to the employees referred to above, we employ a substantial number of temporary workers, and engage outside services, as is customary in the industry, principally for the non-revenue movement of rental vehicles between rental locations.
INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
There are three types of generally insurable risks that arise in our operations:
| |
• | legal liability arising from the operation of our vehicles and on-road equipment (vehicle liability); |
| |
• | legal liability to members of the public and employees from other causes (general liability/workers' compensation); and |
| |
• | risk of property damage and/or business interruption and/or increased cost of operating as a consequence of property damage. |
In addition, we offer optional liability insurance and other products providing insurance coverage, which create additional risk exposures for us. Our risk of property damage is also increased when we waive the provisions in our rental contracts that hold a renter responsible for damage or loss under an optional loss or damage waiver that we offer. We bear these and other risks, except to the extent the risks are transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.
In many cases we self-insure our risks or insure risks through wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. We mitigate our exposure to large liability losses by maintaining excess insurance coverage, subject to deductibles and caps, through unaffiliated carriers. For our international operations outside of Europe, and for our long-term vehicle leasing operations, we maintain some liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
Third-Party Liability
In our U.S. operations, we are required by applicable financial responsibility laws to maintain insurance against legal liability for bodily injury (including death) or property damage to third parties arising from the operation of our vehicles and on-road equipment, sometimes called “vehicle liability,” in stipulated amounts. In most places, we satisfy those requirements by qualifying as a self-insurer, a process that typically involves governmental filings and demonstration of financial responsibility, which sometimes requires the posting of a bond or other security. In the remaining places, we obtain an insurance policy from an unaffiliated insurance carrier and indemnify the carrier for any amounts paid under the policy. As a result of such arrangements, we bear economic responsibility for U.S. vehicle liability, except to the extent we successfully transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.
For our vehicle rental operations in Europe, we have established a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Probus Insurance Company Europe Limited (“Probus”), a direct writer of insurance domiciled in Ireland. In European countries with company-operated locations, we have purchased from Probus the vehicle liability insurance required by law, and Probus reinsured the risks under such insurance with Hertz International RE, a wholly-owned reinsurer organized in Ireland (“HIRE”) and / or HIRE Bermuda Limited, a wholly-owned reinsurance company domiciled in Bermuda. This coverage is purchased from unaffiliated carriers for Spain. Thus, as with our U.S. operations, we bear economic responsibility for vehicle liability in our European vehicle rental operations, except to the extent that we transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. For our international operations outside of Europe, we maintain some form of vehicle liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers. The nature of such coverage, and our economic responsibility for covered losses, varies considerably. In all cases, though, we believe the amounts and nature of the coverage we obtain is adequate in light of the respective potential hazards.
In our U.S. and international operations, from time to time in the course of our business, we become legally responsible to members of the public for bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising from causes other than the operation of our vehicles, sometimes known as “general liability.” As with vehicle liability, we bear economic responsibility for general liability losses, except to the extent we transfer such losses to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. In addition, to mitigate these exposures, we maintain excess liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated insurance carriers.
In our U.S. vehicle rental operations, we offer an optional liability insurance product, Liability Insurance Supplement (“LIS”) that provides vehicle liability insurance coverage substantially higher than state minimum levels to the renter and other authorized operators of a rented vehicle. LIS coverage is primarily provided under excess liability insurance policies issued by an unaffiliated insurance carrier, the risks under which are reinsured with a wholly-owned subsidiary, HIRE Bermuda Limited.
In our U.S. vehicle rental operations and our company-operated international vehicle rental operations in many countries, we offer optional products providing Personal Accident Insurance / Personal Effects Coverage (“PAI/PEC”) and Emergency Sickness Protection ("ESP") insurance coverage to the renter and the renter's immediate family members traveling with the renter for accidental death or accidental medical expenses arising during the rental period or for damage or loss of their property during the rental period. PAI/PEC and ESP coverage is provided under insurance policies issued by unaffiliated carriers or, in Europe, by Probus, and the risks under such policies either are reinsured with HIRE Bermuda Limited or are the subject of indemnification arrangements between us and the carriers.
Our offering of LIS, PAI/PEC and ESP coverage in our U.S. vehicle rental operations is conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance producers.
Provisions on our books for self-insured public liability and property damage vehicle liability losses are made by charges to expense based upon evaluations of estimated ultimate liabilities on reported and unreported claims. As of December 31, 2016, this liability was estimated at $407 million for our combined U.S. and international operations.

Damage to Our Property
We bear the risk of damage to our property, unless such risk is transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.
To mitigate our risk of large, single-site property damage losses globally, we maintain property insurance with unaffiliated insurance carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms.
Our rental contracts typically provide that the renter is responsible for damage to or loss (including loss through theft) of rented vehicles. We generally offer an optional rental product, known in various countries as “loss damage waiver,” “collision damage waiver” or “theft protection,” under which we waive or limit our right to make a claim for such damage or loss.
Collision damage costs and the costs of stolen or unaccounted-for vehicles, along with other damage to our property, are charged to expense as incurred.
Other Risks
To manage other risks associated with our businesses, or to comply with applicable law, we purchase other types of insurance carried by business organizations, such as worker's compensation and employer's liability, commercial crime and fidelity, performance bonds, directors' and officers' liability insurance and cyber security coverage from unaffiliated insurance companies in amounts deemed by us to be adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such coverage is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Throughout the world, we are subject to numerous types of governmental controls, including those relating to prices and advertising, privacy and data protection, currency controls, labor matters, credit and charge card operations, insurance, environmental protection, used vehicle sales and licensing.
Environmental
We are subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental and safety laws, regulations, directives, rules and ordinances concerning, among other things, the operation and maintenance of vehicles, trucks and other vehicles, buses and vans; the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel and oil; and the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of waste materials, including oil, vehicle wash sludge and waste water.
As of December 31, 2016, we have accrued approximately $2 million for environmental remediation. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. However, it is difficult to predict with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remedial actions and thus future costs associated with such matters may exceed the amount of the current accrual.
Dealings with Renters
In the U.S., vehicle rental transactions are generally subject to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs “leases” of tangible personal property. Vehicle rental is also specifically regulated in more than half of the states of the U.S. and many other international jurisdictions. The subjects of these regulations include the methods by which we advertise, quote and charge prices, the consequences of failing to honor reservations, the terms on which we deal with vehicle loss or damage (including the protections we provide to renters purchasing loss or damage waivers)
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (Continued)
and the terms and method of sale of the optional insurance coverage that we offer. Some states (including California, New York, Nevada and Illinois) regulate the price at which we may sell loss or damage waivers, and many state insurance regulators have authority over the prices and terms of the optional insurance coverage we offer. See “Insurance and Risk Management-Damage to Our Property” above for further discussion regarding the loss or damage waivers and optional insurance coverages that we offer renters. In addition, various consumer protection laws and regulations may generally apply to our business operations. Internationally, regulatory regimes vary greatly by jurisdiction, but they do not generally prevent us from dealing with customers in a manner similar to that employed in the U.S.
Both in the U.S. and internationally, we are subject to increasing regulation relating to customer privacy and data protection. In general, we are limited in the uses to which we may put data that we collect about renters, including the circumstances in which we may communicate with them. In addition, we are generally obligated to take reasonable steps to protect customer data while it is in our possession. Our failure to do so could subject us to substantial legal liability, require us to bear significant remediation costs, or seriously damage our reputation.
Changes in Regulation
Changes in government regulation of our businesses have the potential to materially alter our business practices, or our profitability. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect; this is particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have either more or less impact on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances. Several U.S. State Attorneys General have taken the position that vehicle rental companies either may not pass through to customers, by means of separate charges, expenses such as vehicle licensing and concession fees or may do so only in certain limited circumstances. Recent or potential changes in law or regulation that affect us relate to insurance intermediaries, customer privacy, data security and rate regulation and our retail vehicle sales operations.
In addition, our operations, as well as those of our competitors, also could be affected by any limitation in the fuel supply or by any imposition of mandatory allocation or rationing regulations. We are not aware of any current proposal to impose such a regime in the U.S. or internationally. Such a regime could, however, be quickly imposed if there was a serious disruption in supply for any reason, including an act of war, terrorist incident or other problem affecting petroleum supply, refining, distribution or pricing.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. The risks and uncertainties described below, however, are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also significantly impact us. Any of these risks and uncertainties may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment in Hertz Global's
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
common stock or The Hertz Corporation's debt securities. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and uncertainties. Any of the following risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow and we believe that the following information identifies the material risks and uncertainties affecting Hertz and Hertz Global; however, the following risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us and it is possible that other risks and uncertainties might significantly impact us.
Our vehicle rental business is particularly sensitive to reductions in the levels of airline passenger travel, and reductions in air travel could materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
The vehicle rental industry is particularly affected by reductions in business and leisure travel, especially with respect to levels of airline passenger traffic. Reductions in levels of air travel, whether caused by general economic conditions, airfare increases (such as due to capacity reductions or increases in fuel costs borne by commercial airlines) or other events (such as work stoppages, military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural disasters, epidemic diseases, or the response of governments to any of these events) could materially adversely affect us. In particular, we derive a substantial proportion of our revenues from key leisure destinations, including Florida, Hawaii, California, New York and Texas in the U.S. and Europe internationally and the level of travel to these destinations is dependent upon the ability and willingness of consumers to travel on vacation and the effect of economic cycles on consumers’ discretionary travel. To the extent travel to these destinations is adversely affected, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and are increasingly subject to substitution. We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the vehicle rental market and that the internet has enabled cost‑conscious customers, including business travelers, to more easily compare rates available from rental companies. If we try to increase our pricing, our competitors, some of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to attempt to gain a competitive advantage, capture market share, or to compensate for declines in rental activity. To the extent we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors’ pricing, our revenues and results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. If competitive pressures lead us to match any of our competitors’ downward pricing and we are not able to reduce our operating costs, then our margins, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. See Item 1, “Business - U.S. and International Rental Car Segments - Markets and Competition” in this 2016 Annual Report.
Our business is highly seasonal and any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during our peak periods could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Certain significant components of our expenses are fixed in the short‑term, including minimum concession fees, real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility‑related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs. Seasonal changes in our revenues do not alter those fixed expenses, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher. The second and third quarters of the year have historically been the strongest quarters for our vehicle rental business due to increased levels of leisure travel. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during these periods could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
If our management is unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the number and mix of vehicles used in our rental operations accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.
Because vehicle costs typically represent our single largest expense and vehicle purchases are typically made weeks or months in advance of the expected use of the vehicle, our business is dependent upon the ability of our management to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and consumer preferences with respect to the mix of vehicles used in our rental operations. To the extent we do not purchase sufficient numbers of vehicles, or the right types of vehicles,
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
to meet consumer demand, we may lose revenue to our competitors. If we purchase too many vehicles, our vehicle utilization could be adversely affected and we may not be able to dispose of excess vehicles in a timely and cost effective manner. While purchasing program vehicles is useful in managing our seasonal peak demand for vehicles, program vehicles typically cost more than non-program vehicles. As a result, if our management is unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and determine the appropriate mix of vehicles used in our rental operations, including because of changes in the competitive environment or economic factors outside of our control, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.
Increased vehicle cost due to declines in the value of the non-program vehicles in our operations could materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
Manufacturers agree to repurchase program vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during a specified time period. To the extent the vehicles in our rental operations are non-program vehicles, we have an increased risk that the net amount realized upon disposition of the vehicle will be less than its estimated residual value at such time. Any decrease in residual values with respect to our non-program vehicles could also materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
While program vehicles cost more than comparable non-program vehicles, the use of program vehicles enables us to determine our depreciation expense in advance and this is useful to us because depreciation is a significant cost factor in our operations. Using program vehicles is also useful in managing our seasonal peak demand for vehicles, because in certain cases we can sell certain program vehicles shortly after having acquired them at a higher value than what we could for a similar non-program vehicle at that time. If there were fewer program vehicles in our rental operations, these benefits would diminish and we would bear increased risk related to residual value. In addition, the related depreciation on our vehicles and our flexibility to reduce the number of vehicles used in our rental operations by returning vehicles sooner than originally expected without the risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand would be reduced.
We may fail to respond adequately to changes in technology and customer demands.
In recent years our industry has been characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. For example, in recent years, industry participants have taken advantage of new technologies to improve vehicle utilization, decrease customer wait times and improve customer satisfaction. Our industry has also seen the entry of new competitors whose businesses are based on emerging mobile platforms and efforts continue to introduce various types of self-driving vehicles. Our ability to continually improve our current processes and products in response to changes in technology is essential in maintaining our competitive position and maintaining current levels of customer satisfaction. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced product offerings.
If we are unable to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles and the cost of the vehicles we purchase increases, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
The price and other terms at which we can acquire vehicles vary based on market and other conditions. For example, certain vehicle manufacturers have in the past, and may in the future, utilize strategies to de-emphasize sales to the vehicle rental industry, which can negatively impact our ability to obtain vehicles on competitive terms and conditions. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase a sufficient number of vehicles at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of vehicles, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms when we acquire vehicles and are unable to pass on any increased costs to our customers, then our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
A material downsizing in the number of revenue earning vehicles we own or a change in U.S. tax laws could require us to make additional cash payments for tax liabilities, which could be material.
We have maintained like-kind exchange programs for our U.S. vehicle rental business and Donlen for a number of years (the "LKE Program"). Our LKE Program allows tax gains on the disposition of our revenue earning vehicles to be deferred and have resulted in deferrals of federal and state income taxes for prior years. If a qualified replacement vehicle is not purchased within a specific time period after vehicle disposal, then taxable gain is recognized. Furthermore, we benefit from accelerated depreciation permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. A material reduction in the combined net book value of our revenue earning vehicles, a material and extended reduction in vehicle purchases and/or a material downsizing in the number of revenue earning vehicles, for any reason, could result in reduced tax deferrals in the future, which in turn could require us to make material cash payments for U.S. federal and state income tax liabilities. We cannot offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will continue.
Similarly, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the U.S. federal and state income tax laws, legislation or regulations governing like-kind exchange and accelerated depreciation deductions will remain intact in their current form. If the laws, regulations or administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations change, there could be an adverse impact on our ability to defer gains on the sales of our U.S. revenue earning vehicles and/or recognize accelerated depreciation on said vehicles. This could result in the company being required to make material cash payments resulting from the inability to defer U.S. federal and state gains on the sales of the revenue earning vehicles. We cannot predict when or if any changes will be adopted and in what manner.
The failure of a manufacturer of our program vehicles to fulfill its obligations under a repurchase or guaranteed depreciation program could expose us to loss on those program vehicles and materially adversely affect certain of our financing arrangements, which could in turn materially adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
If any manufacturer of our program vehicles does not fulfill its obligations under its repurchase or guaranteed depreciation agreement with us, whether due to default, reorganization, bankruptcy or otherwise, then we would have to dispose of those program vehicles without receiving the benefits of the associated programs and we would also be exposed to residual risk with respect to these vehicles. In addition, we could be left with a substantial unpaid claim against the manufacturer with respect to program vehicles that were sold and returned to the manufacturer but not paid for, or that were sold for less than their agreed repurchase price or guaranteed value.
The failure by a manufacturer to pay such amounts could cause a credit enhancement deficiency with respect to our asset‑backed and asset‑based financing arrangements, requiring us to either reduce the outstanding principal amount of debt or provide more collateral (in the form of cash, vehicles and/or certain other contractual rights) to the creditors under any such affected arrangement.
If one or more manufacturers were to adversely modify or eliminate repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs in the future, our access to and the terms of asset‑backed and asset‑based debt financing could be adversely affected, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on third-party distribution channels for a significant amount of our revenues.
Third-party distribution channels account for a significant amount of our vehicle rental reservations. These third-party distribution channels include traditional and online travel agencies, third-party internet sites, airlines and hotel companies, marketing partners such as credit card companies and membership organizations and global distribution systems that allow travel agents, travel service providers and customers to connect directly to our reservations systems. Loss of access to any of these channels, changes in pricing or commission structures or a reduction in transaction volume could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, particularly if our customers are unable to access our reservation systems through alternate channels.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
We may not be successful in implementing our strategy of further reducing operating costs and our cost reduction initiatives may have adverse consequences.
We are continuing to implement initiatives to reduce our operating expenses. These initiatives may include headcount reductions, business process and information technology outsourcing, business process re‑engineering, internal reorganization and other expense controls. We cannot assure you that our cost reduction initiatives will achieve any further success. If we are unsuccessful in taking advantage of these opportunities, our margins could decrease, which could negatively impact our ability to effectively compete. Whether or not successful, our cost reduction initiatives involve significant expenses and we expect to incur further expenses associated with these initiatives, some of which may be material in the period in which they are incurred.
Even if we achieve further success with our cost reduction initiatives, we face risks associated with our initiatives, including declines in employee morale or the level of customer service we provide, the efficiency of our operations or the effectiveness of our internal controls. Any of these risks could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
If our customers develop loyalty to travel intermediaries rather than our brands, our financial results may suffer.
Some internet travel intermediaries use generic indicators of the type of vehicle (such as “standard” or “compact”) at the expense of brand identification and some intermediaries have launched their own loyalty programs to develop loyalties to their reservation system rather than to our brands. If the volume of sales made through internet travel intermediaries increases significantly and consumers develop stronger loyalties to these intermediaries rather than to our brands, our business and revenues could be harmed. If our market share suffers due to lower levels of customer loyalty, our financial results could suffer.
An impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite-lived intangible assets could have a material noncash adverse impact on our results of operations.
We review our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable and at least annually. If economic deterioration occurs, then we may be required to record charges for goodwill or indefinite lived intangible asset impairments in the future, which could have a material adverse non‑cash impact on our results of operations. For further discussion of impairment charges related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, see Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Our foreign operations expose us to risks that may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
A significant portion of our annual revenues are generated outside the U.S. Operating in many different countries exposes us to varying risks, which include: (i) multiple, and sometimes conflicting, foreign regulatory requirements and laws that are subject to change and are often much different than the domestic laws in the U.S., including laws relating to taxes, automobile‑related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, cost and fee recovery, and the protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property; (ii) the effect of foreign currency translation risk, as well as limitations on our ability to repatriate income; (iii) varying tax regimes, including consequences from changes in applicable tax laws and our ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. affiliates without adverse tax consequences; (iv) local ownership or investment requirements, as well as difficulties in obtaining financing in foreign countries for local operations; and (v) political and economic instability, natural calamities, war, and terrorism. The effects of these risks may, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and ability to diversify internationally.
Our international operations are based in Uxbridge, England and we have significant vehicle rental operations in the United Kingdom and the Eurozone. The United Kingdom held a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority voted for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (the “Brexit”). In order to effect the Brexit, a process of
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
negotiation will determine the future terms of the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Union. Depending on the terms of Brexit, if any, the United Kingdom could lose access to the single European Union market and to the global trade deals negotiated by the European Union on behalf of its members. The effects of the Brexit vote and the perceptions as to the impact of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union may adversely affect business activity and economic and market conditions in the United Kingdom, the Eurozone and globally, could make it more difficult for us to manage our international operations out of the United Kingdom and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets. In addition, Brexit could lead to additional political, legal and economic instability in the European Union.
Additionally, operating in many different countries also increases the risk of a violation, or alleged violation, of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, other applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, the economic sanction programs administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the anti-boycott regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of Anti-boycott Compliance. Any failure to comply with these laws, even if inadvertent, could result in significant penalties or otherwise harm the Company’s reputation and business. There can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors and agents will comply with the Company’s policies that mandate compliance with these laws. Violations of these laws could be costly and disrupt the Company’s business, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.
Our vehicles may be subject to safety recalls by their manufacturers. The Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act of 2015 prohibits us from renting vehicles with open federal safety recalls and to repair or address these recalls prior to renting or selling the vehicle. Any federal safety recall with respect to our vehicles would require us to decline to rent recalled vehicles until we can arrange for the steps described in the recall to be taken. If a large number of vehicles are the subject of a recall or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to rent recalled vehicles for a significant period of time. Those types of disruptions could jeopardize our ability to fulfill existing contractual commitments or satisfy demand for our vehicles, and could also result in the loss of business to our competitors. Depending on the severity of any recall, it could materially adversely affect our revenues, create customer service problems, reduce the residual value of the recalled vehicles and harm our general reputation.
Our business is heavily reliant upon communications networks and centralized information technology systems and the concentration of our systems creates risks for us.
We rely heavily on communication networks and information technology systems to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our pricing, manage our revenue earning vehicles, manage our financing arrangements, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business. Our reliance on these networks and systems exposes us to various risks that could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our vehicles, slow rental and sales processes, adversely affect our ability to comply with our financing arrangements and otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. Our major information technology systems, reservations and accounting functions are centralized in a few locations worldwide. Any disruption, termination or substandard provision of these services, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire, explosion or hacking), failure of our systems to function as designed, or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and information technology functions or by eliminating access to financing arrangements. Any disruption or poor performance of our systems could lead to lower revenues, increased costs or other material adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.
Failure to maintain, upgrade and consolidate our information technology networks could adversely affect us.
We are continuously upgrading and consolidating our systems, including making changes to legacy systems, replacing legacy systems with successor systems with new functionality and acquiring new systems with new functionality. In particular, we currently have material weaknesses in our internal controls and in certain instances enhancements to our accounting systems may assist in the remediation of these material weaknesses. In addition, we have decided to
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
outsource a significant portion of our information technology services. These types of activities subject us to additional costs and inherent risks associated with outsourcing, replacing and changing these systems, including impairment of our ability to manage our business, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate the new systems, demands on management time, and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to outsourcing alternatives, new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. Our outsourcing initiatives and system implementations may not result in productivity improvements at a level that outweighs the costs of implementation, or at all. In addition, the implementation of our outsourcing initiatives and new technology systems may cause disruptions in our business operations and have an adverse effect on our business and operations, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated and our competitive position may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain systems that allow us to manage our business in a competitive manner.
The misuse or theft of information we possess, including as a result of cyber security breaches, could harm our brand, reputation or competitive position and give rise to material liabilities.
We regularly possess, store and handle non‑public information about millions of individuals and businesses, including both credit and debit card information and other sensitive and confidential personal information. In addition, our customers regularly transmit confidential information to us via the internet and through other electronic means. Despite the security measures we currently have in place, our facilities and systems and those of our third‑party service providers may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other forms of deception of our employees or contractors. Many of the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, including viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, are difficult to anticipate until launched against a target and we may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures. Our failure to maintain the security of that data, whether as the result of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation, interrupt our operations, result in governmental investigations and give rise to a host of civil or criminal liabilities. Any such failure could lead to lower revenues, increased remediation, prevention and other costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Our leases and vehicle rental concessions expose us to risks.
We maintain a substantial network of vehicle rental locations at a number of airports in the U.S. and internationally. Many of these locations are leased and, in the case of airport vehicle rental locations, the subject of vehicle rental concessions where vehicle rental companies are frequently required to bid periodically for the available locations. If we are unable to continue operating these facilities at their current locations due to the termination of leases or vehicle rental concessions, particularly at airports, which comprise a majority of our revenues, our operating results could be adversely affected. In addition, if the costs of these leases increases and we are unable to increase our prices to offset the increased costs, our financial results could suffer.
Maintaining favorable brand recognition is essential to our success, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Our business is heavily dependent upon the favorable brand recognition that our “Hertz”, “Dollar” and “Thrifty” brand names have in the markets in which they participate. Factors affecting brand recognition are often outside our control, and our efforts to maintain or enhance favorable brand recognition, such as marketing and advertising campaigns, may not have their desired effects. In addition, although our licensing partners are subject to contractual requirements to protect our brands, it may be difficult to monitor or enforce such requirements, particularly in foreign jurisdictions and various laws may limit our ability to enforce the terms of these agreements or to terminate the agreements. Any decline in perceived favorable recognition of our brands could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
Our business operations are dependent upon the ability of our new employees to learn their new roles.
Beginning in 2013, we transitioned our corporate headquarters from Park Ridge, New Jersey to Estero, Florida. In connection with the transition, we have replaced many employees in key functions. As new employees gain experience in their roles, we could experience inefficiencies or a lack of business continuity due to loss of historical knowledge and a lack of familiarity of new employees with business processes, operating requirements, policies and procedures, some of which are new, and key information technologies and related infrastructure used in our day‑to‑day operations and financial reporting and we may experience additional costs as new employees learn their roles and gain necessary experience. It is important to our success that these new employees quickly adapt to and excel in their new roles. If they are unable to do so, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if we were to lose the services of any one or more key employees, whether due to death, disability or termination of employment, our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, financial plans, marketing and other objectives, could be significantly impaired.
We may face issues with our union employees.
Labor contracts covering the terms of employment for the Company's union employees in the U.S. (including those in the U.S. territories) are presently in effect under active contracts with local unions, affiliated primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. These contracts are renegotiated periodically. Failure to negotiate a new labor agreement when required could result in a work stoppage. Although we believe that our labor relations have generally been good, it is possible that we could become subject to additional work rules imposed by agreements with labor unions, or that work stoppages or other labor disturbances could occur in the future. In addition, our non-union workforce has been subject to unionization efforts in the past, and we could be subject to future unionization, which could lead to increases in our operating costs and/or constraints on our operating flexibility.
The restatement in 2015 of our previously issued financial statements has been time consuming and expensive and could expose us to additional risks that could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
We have incurred significant expenses, including audit, legal, consulting and other professional fees and lender and noteholder consent fees, in connection with the restatement of our previously issued financial statements and the ongoing remediation of weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have taken a number of steps, including adding significant internal resources and implementing a number of additional procedures, in order to strengthen our accounting function and attempt to reduce the risk of additional misstatements in our financial statements. To the extent these steps are not successful, we could be forced to incur additional time and expense. Our management’s attention has also been diverted from the operation of our business in connection with the restatements and ongoing remediation of material weaknesses in our internal controls.
We are also subject to a number of claims, investigations and proceedings arising out of the misstatements in our financial statements, including an investigation by the New York Regional Office of the SEC. In addition, in December 2014 a state securities regulator requested information and starting in June 2016 the Company has had communications with the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. See below under “The restatement of our previously issued financial results has resulted in government investigations and could result in government enforcement actions and private litigation that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.”

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. In Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures” of this 2016 Annual Report, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of the material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2016. The assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control‑Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. We are actively engaged in remediation activities designed to address the material weaknesses, but our remediation efforts are not complete and are ongoing. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, it may materially adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner. If we are unable to report our results in a timely and accurate manner, we may not be able to comply with the applicable covenants in our financing arrangements, and may be required to seek additional waivers or repay amounts under these financing arrangements earlier than anticipated, which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition. Although we continually review and evaluate internal control systems to allow management to report on the sufficiency of our internal controls, we cannot assure you that we will not discover additional weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The next time we evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, if we identify one or more new material weaknesses or are unable to timely remediate our existing weaknesses, we may be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock and possibly impact our ability to obtain future financing on acceptable terms. We may also lose assets if we do not maintain adequate internal controls.
The restatement in 2015 of our previously issued financial results has resulted in government investigations and could result in government enforcement actions and private litigation that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
We are subject to securities class action litigation relating to our previous public disclosures. In addition, the New York Regional Office of the SEC is currently investigating the events disclosed in certain of our filings with the SEC. A state securities regulator has also requested information and starting in June 2016 we have had communications with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. For additional discussion of these matters, see Note 17, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We could also become subject to private litigation or investigations, or one or more government enforcement actions, arising out of the misstatements in our previously issued financial statements. Our management may be required to devote significant time and attention to these matters, and these and any additional matters that arise could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. While we cannot estimate our potential exposure in these matters at this time, we have already expended significant amounts investigating the claims underlying and defending this litigation and expect to continue to need to expend significant amounts to defend this litigation.
We may pursue strategic transactions which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.
Any future strategic acquisition or disposition of assets or a business could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business or segregating assets and operations to be disposed of; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the acquisition or disposition or against any business we may acquire; (iv) changing
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; and (v) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies.
If we enter into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations, particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. A material disposition could require the amendment or refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness or a portion thereof.
The agreements we entered into in connection with the Spin-Off may distract our management and expose us to claims and liabilities.
The Company and Herc Holdings entered into a separation and distribution agreement and various other agreements to govern the separation Herc Holdings and the relationship between the two companies going forward. Certain of these agreements provide for the performance of services by the Company for the benefit of Herc Holdings and its subsidiaries for up to three years following the date of the Spin-Off, including with respect to the preparation of financial reports filed with the SEC. Certain of these agreements also impose certain obligations, including indemnification obligations, on Herc Holdings for the benefit of the Company. If Herc Holdings is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, the Company could incur losses. These arrangements could also distract management and lead to disputes between the Company and Herc Holdings over the allocation of assets and liabilities between the Company and Herc Holdings.
If, following the completion of the Spin-Off, there is a determination that any of the Spin-Off or the internal spin-off transactions completed in connection with the Spin-Off (collectively with the Spin-Off, the “Spin-Offs”) is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings underlying the IRS private letter ruling or tax opinions are incorrect or for any other reason, then Herc Holdings and its stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities and Hertz Global could incur significant liabilities.
In connection with the Spin-Offs, Herc Holdings received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to the effect that, subject to the accuracy of and compliance with certain representations, assumptions and covenants, (i) the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, and (ii) the internal spin-off transactions will qualify as tax free under Section 355 of the Code. A private letter ruling from the IRS generally is binding on the IRS. However, the IRS ruling did not rule that the Spin-Offs satisfied every requirement for a tax-free spin-off, and Herc Holdings and Hertz Global relied solely on opinions of professional advisors to determine that such additional requirements were satisfied. The ruling and the opinions relied on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from Herc Holdings and Hertz Holdings regarding the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings were incorrect or not otherwise satisfied, Herc Holdings and Hertz Global, and their affiliates may not be able to rely on the ruling or the opinions of tax advisors and could be subject to significant tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and opinions of tax advisors, the IRS could determine on audit that the Spin-Offs and related transactions are taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinions that are not covered by the private letter ruling, or for any other reason, including as a result of certain significant changes in the stock ownership of Herc Holdings or Hertz Global after the Spin-Off. If the Spin-Offs or related transactions are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Herc Holdings and Hertz Global and, in certain cases, their stockholders (at the time of the Spin-Off) could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities, including taxation on the value of the Hertz Global stock distributed in the Spin-Off and the value of other companies distributed in the internal Spin-Off transactions, and Hertz Global could incur significant liabilities, either directly to the tax authorities or under a Tax Matters Agreement entered into with Herc Holdings.
Some or all of our deferred tax assets could expire if we experience an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Code.
An “ownership change” could limit our ability to utilize tax attributes, including net operating losses, capital loss carryovers, excess foreign tax carry forwards, and credit carryforwards, to offset future taxable income. Our ability to
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
use such tax attributes to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities may be significantly limited if we experience an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382(g) of the Code. In general, an ownership change will occur when the percentage of Hertz Global's ownership (by value) of one or more “5-percent shareholders” (as defined in the Code) has increased by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such shareholders at any time during the prior three years (calculated on a rolling basis). An entity that experiences an ownership change generally should be subject to an annual limitation on its pre-ownership change tax loss carryforward equal to the equity value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term, tax-exempt rate posted monthly by the IRS (subject to certain adjustments). The annual limitation accumulates each year to the extent that there is any unused limitation from a prior year. The limitation on our ability to utilize tax losses and credit carryforwards arising from an ownership change under Section 382 depends on the value of our equity at the time of any ownership change. If we were to experience an “ownership change”, it is possible that a significant portion of our tax loss carryforwards could expire before we would be able to use them to offset future taxable income. Many states adopt the federal section 382 rules and therefore have similar limitations with respect to state tax attributes.
We face risks related to liabilities and insurance.
Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the vehicles rented or sold by us, and for employment‑related injury claims by our employees. The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. Currently, we generally self‑insure up to $10 million per occurrence in the U.S. and $5 million in Europe for vehicle and general liability exposures, $5 million for employment‑related injury claims, and we also maintain insurance with unaffiliated carriers in excess of such levels up to $200 million per occurrence for the current policy year, or in the case of international operations outside of Europe, in such lower amounts as we deem adequate given the risks. We cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability at levels in excess of our historical levels resulting from multiple payouts or otherwise, that liabilities in respect of existing or future claims will not exceed the level of our insurance, that we will have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims or that insurance with unaffiliated carriers will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. See Item 1, “Business - Insurance and Risk Management” and Note 17, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, ‘‘Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
We could face a significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in multiemployer pension plans or in the event other employers in such plans become insolvent and certain multiemployer plans in which we participate are reported to have underfunded liabilities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
We could face a significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate or in the event other employers in such plans become insolvent, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
We participate in various “multiemployer” pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump‑sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan’s funding of vested benefits. Our multiemployer plans could have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows. See Note 8, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, ‘‘Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
Environmental laws and regulations and the costs of complying with them, or any liability or obligation imposed under them, could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including with respect to the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and waste oils. We cannot assure you that our tanks will at all times remain free from leaks or that the use of these tanks will not result in significant spills or leakage. If leakage or a spill occurs, it is possible that the resulting costs of cleanup, investigation and remediation, as well as any resulting fines, could be significant. We cannot assure you that compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations will not require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows. See Item 1, ‘‘Business—Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters’’ in this 2016 Annual Report.
The U.S. Congress and other legislative and regulatory authorities in the U.S. and internationally have considered, and will likely continue to consider, numerous measures related to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Should rules establishing limitations on greenhouse gas emissions or rules imposing fees on entities deemed to be responsible for greenhouse gas emissions become effective, demand for our services could be affected, our vehicle, and/or other, costs could increase, and our business could be adversely affected.
Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, licensing and franchising, automotive retail sales, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
We are subject to a wide variety of U.S. laws and regulations and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices and materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, including our profitability. Those changes may come about through new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations.
Any new, or change in existing, U.S. law and regulation with respect to optional insurance products or policies could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenue and profitability. For further discussion regarding how changes in the regulation of insurance intermediaries may affect us, see Item 1, ‘‘Business—Insurance and Risk Management’’ in this 2016 Annual Report. If customers decline to purchase supplemental liability insurance products from us as a result of any changes in these laws or otherwise, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Changes in the U.S. and E.U. legal and regulatory environments in the areas of customer and employee privacy, data security, and cross‑border data flows could have a material adverse effect on our business, primarily through the impairment of our marketing and transaction processing activities, and the resulting costs of complying with such legal and regulatory requirements. It is also possible that we could face significant liability for failing to comply with any such requirements.
We derive revenue through rental activities of the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands under franchise and license arrangements. These arrangements are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations that impose limitations on our interactions with counterparties. In addition, the automotive retail industry, including our network of company‑operated vehicle sales locations, is subject to a wide range of federal, state and local laws and regulations, such as those relating to motor vehicle sales, retail installment sales and related finance and insurance matters, advertising, licensing, consumer protection and consumer privacy. Changes in these laws and regulations that impact our franchising and licensing arrangements or our automotive retail sales could adversely impact our results.
In most places where we operate, we pass through various expenses, including the recovery of vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, to our rental customers as separate charges. We believe that our expense pass throughs, where imposed, are properly disclosed and are lawful. However, in the event of incorrect calculations or disclosures
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
with respect to expense pass throughs, or a successful challenge to the methodology we have used for determining our expense pass through treatment, we could be subject to fines or other liabilities. In addition, we may in the future be subject to potential legislative, regulatory or administrative changes or actions which could limit, restrict or prohibit our ability to separately state, charge and recover vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Certain proposed or enacted laws and regulations with respect to the banking and finance industries, including the Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (including risk retention requirements) and amendments to the SEC's rules relating to asset-backed securities, could restrict our access to certain financing arrangements and increase our financing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS
Our substantial level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to compete in our industry.
Our substantial indebtedness could materially adversely affect us. For example, it could: (i) make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our outstanding debt securities and to the lenders under our various credit facilities, resulting in possible defaults on, and acceleration or early amortization of, such indebtedness; (ii) be difficult to refinance or borrow additional funds in the future; (iii) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations and investing activities to make payments on our debt, which would reduce our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes; (iv) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions (such as credit‑related disruptions), including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings are at floating rates of interest and are not hedged against rising interest rates, and the risk that one or more of the financial institutions providing commitments under our revolving credit facilities fails to fund an extension of credit under any such facility, due to insolvency or otherwise, leaving us with less liquidity than expected; (v) place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have proportionately less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates or on better terms; and (vi) limit our ability to react to competitive pressures, or make it difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy and our efforts to improve operating margins. While the terms of the agreements and instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness contain certain restrictions upon our ability to incur additional indebtedness, they do not fully prohibit us from incurring substantial additional indebtedness and do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt or other obligations are added to our current liability levels without a corresponding refinancing or redemption of our existing indebtedness and obligations, these risks would increase. For a description of the amounts we have available under certain of our debt facilities, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources—Borrowing Capacity and Availability” included in this 2016 Annual Report and Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Our ability to manage these risks depends on financial market conditions as well as our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to a wide range of risks, including those described under “Risks Related to Our Business.”
Our Senior Facilities (as defined in “Description of Certain Indebtedness” below) contain customary events of default, subject to customary cure periods for certain defaults, that include, among others, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, material judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, cross-acceleration of certain other material indebtedness, and inaccuracy of representations and warranties. Upon an event of default thereunder, if not waived by our lenders, our lenders may declare all amounts outstanding as due and payable, which may cause further defaults and/or amortization events under our other debt obligations. The credit agreement governing our Senior Facilities requires us upon a change of control, as defined therein, to make an offer to repay in full all amounts outstanding thereunder upon such a change of control. Our failure to make such an offer would result in an event of default thereunder. In addition, the indentures governing our Senior Notes require us upon a change of control, as defined therein, to make an offer to repurchase all of such outstanding Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest. If we failed to repurchase the Senior Notes, we would be in
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
default under the related indenture. Certain of our other indebtedness also could result in defaults and/or amortization events upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, as defined therein. If our current lenders accelerate the maturity of their related indebtedness, we may not have sufficient capital available at that time to pay the amounts due to our lenders on a timely basis, and there is no guarantee that we would be able to repay, refinance, or restructure the payments on such debt.
If our capital resources (including borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to other refinancing indebtedness) and operating cash flows are not sufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to do, among other things, one or more of the following: (i) sell certain of our assets; (ii) reduce the number of our revenue earning vehicles; (iii) reduce or delay capital expenditures; (iv) obtain additional equity capital; (v) forgo business opportunities, including acquisitions and joint ventures; or (vi) restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity.
We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will maintain financing activities and cash flows sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If we cannot refinance or otherwise pay our obligations as they mature and fund our liquidity needs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and ability to compete in our industry could be materially adversely affected.
Our reliance on asset‑backed and asset‑based financing arrangements to purchase vehicles subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.
We rely significantly on asset‑backed and asset‑based financing to purchase vehicles. If we are unable to refinance or replace our existing asset‑backed and asset‑based financing or continue to finance new vehicle acquisitions through asset‑backed or asset‑based financing on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, then our costs of financing could increase significantly and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, interest costs, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our asset‑backed and asset‑based financing capacity could be decreased, our financing costs and interest rates could be increased, or our future access to the financial markets could be limited, as a result of risks and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, including: (i) the acceptance by credit markets of the structures and structural risks associated with our asset‑backed and asset‑based financing arrangements; (ii) the credit ratings provided by credit rating agencies for our asset‑backed indebtedness; (iii) third parties requiring changes in the terms and structure of our asset‑backed or asset‑based financing arrangements, including increased credit enhancement or required cash collateral and/or other liquid reserves; (iv) the insolvency or deterioration of the financial condition of one or more of our principal vehicle manufacturers; or (v) changes in laws or regulations, including judicial review of issues of first impression, that negatively impact any of our asset‑backed or asset‑based financing arrangements.
Any reduction in the value of certain revenue earning vehicles could effectively increase our vehicle costs, adversely impact our profitability and potentially lead to decreased borrowing base availability in our asset‑backed and certain asset‑based vehicle financing facilities due to the credit enhancement requirements for such facilities, which could increase if market values for vehicles decrease below net book values for those vehicles. In addition, if disposal of vehicles in the used vehicle marketplace were to become severely limited at a time when required collateral levels were rising and as a result we failed to meet the minimum required collateral levels, the principal under our asset‑backed and certain asset‑based financing arrangements may be required to be repaid sooner than anticipated with vehicle disposition proceeds and lease payments we make to our special purpose financing subsidiaries. If that were to occur, the holders of our asset‑backed and certain asset‑based debt may have the ability to exercise their right to direct the trustee or other secured party to foreclose on and sell vehicles to generate proceeds sufficient to repay such debt.
The occurrence of certain events, including those described in the paragraph above, could result in the occurrence of an amortization event pursuant to which the proceeds of sales of vehicles that collateralize the affected asset‑backed financing arrangement would be required to be applied to the payment of principal and interest on the affected facility or series, rather than being reinvested in our revenue earning vehicles. In the case of our asset‑backed financing arrangements, certain other events, including defaults by us and our affiliates in the performance of covenants set
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
forth in the agreements governing certain vehicle debt, could result in the occurrence of a liquidation event with the passing of time or immediately pursuant to which the trustee or holders of the affected asset‑backed financing arrangement would be permitted to require the sale of the assets collateralizing that series. Any of these consequences could affect our liquidity and our ability to maintain sufficient levels of revenue earning vehicles to meet customer demands and could trigger cross‑defaults under certain of our other financing arrangements.
Substantially all of our consolidated assets secure certain of our outstanding indebtedness, which could materially adversely affect our debt and equity holders and our business.
Substantially all of our consolidated assets, including our revenue earning vehicles and Donlen’s lease portfolio, are subject to security interests or are otherwise encumbered for the lenders under our senior credit facilities, asset‑backed and asset‑based financing arrangements. As a result, the lenders under those facilities would have a prior claim on such assets in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization, and we may not have sufficient funds to pay in full, or at all, all of our creditors or make any amount available to holders of our equity. The same is true with respect to structurally senior obligations: in general, all liabilities and other obligations of a subsidiary must be satisfied before the assets of such subsidiary can be made available to the creditors (or equity holders) of the parent entity.
Because substantially all of our assets are encumbered under financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial flexibility and force us to attempt to incur additional unsecured indebtedness, which may not be available to us.
Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness may materially adversely affect our financial flexibility or may have other material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.
Certain of our credit facilities and other asset‑based and asset‑backed financing arrangements contain covenants that, among other things, restrict Hertz and its subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) dispose of assets; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) incur guarantee obligations; (iv) prepay other indebtedness or amend other financing arrangements; (v) pay dividends; (vi) create liens on assets; (vii) sell assets; (viii) make investments, loans, advances or capital expenditures; (ix) make acquisitions; (x) engage in mergers or consolidations; (xi) change the business conducted by us; and (xii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
Our Senior RCF (as defined in “Description of Certain Indebtedness” below) subjects us to a financial maintenance covenant. Our ability to comply with this covenant will depend on our ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn are subject to, among other things, the risks identified in “Risks Related to Our Business.”
The agreements governing our financing arrangements contain numerous covenants. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under the relevant agreement, which could, in turn, cause cross‑defaults under our other financing arrangements. In such event, we may be unable to borrow under the Senior RCF (as defined in “Description of Certain Indebtedness” below) and certain of our other financing arrangements and may not be able to repay the amounts due under such arrangements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.
An increase in interest rates or in our borrowing margin would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.
A significant portion of our outstanding debt bears interest at floating rates. As a result, to the extent we have not hedged against rising interest rates, an increase in the applicable benchmark interest rates would increase our cost of servicing our debt and could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
In addition, we regularly refinance our indebtedness. If interest rates or our borrowing margins increase between the time an existing financing arrangement was consummated and the time such financing arrangement is refinanced, the
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (Continued)
cost of servicing our debt would increase and our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. COMMON STOCK
Hertz Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own and depends on its subsidiaries for cash.
The operations of Hertz Holdings are conducted nearly entirely through its subsidiaries and its ability to generate cash to meet its debt service obligations or to pay dividends on its common stock is dependent on the earnings and the receipt of funds from its subsidiaries via dividends or intercompany loans. However, none of the subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings are obligated to make funds available to Hertz Holdings for the payment of dividends or the service of its debt. In addition, certain states' laws and the terms of certain of our debt agreements significantly restrict, or prohibit, the ability of Hertz and its subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or otherwise transfer assets to Hertz Holdings, including state laws that require dividends to be paid only from surplus. If Hertz Holdings does not receive cash from its subsidiaries, then Hertz Holdings' financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Hertz Holdings' share price may decline if it issues a large number of new shares or if a holder of a substantial number of shares sells their stock.
Hertz Holdings has a significant number of authorized but unissued shares, including shares available for issuance pursuant to various equity plans. In addition, in recent years, several shareholders, most notably affiliates of Carl Icahn, have accumulated significant amounts of Hertz Holdings common stock. A sale of a substantial number of shares or other equity-related securities in the public market pursuant to new issuances or by these significant shareholders could depress the market price of Hertz Holdings' stock and impair its ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Any such sale or issuance would dilute the ownership interests of the then-existing stockholders, and could have material adverse effect on the market price of Hertz Holdings' common stock.

We operate vehicle rental locations at or near airports and in central business districts and suburban areas of major cities in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as retail used vehicle sales locations in the U.S. and Australia. We also operate headquarters, sales offices and service facilities in the foregoing countries in support of our vehicle rental operations, as well as small vehicle rental sales offices and service facilities in a select number of other countries in Europe and Asia.
We own approximately 3% of the locations from which we operate our vehicle rental businesses and in some cases own real property that we lease to franchisees or other third parties. The remaining locations from which we operate our vehicle rental businesses are leased or operated under concessions from governmental authorities and private entities. Those leases and concession agreements typically require the payment of minimum rents or minimum concession fees and often also require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses; to pay additional rent, or concession fees above guaranteed minimums, based on a percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant premises; or to do both. See Note 11, "Lease and Concession Agreements," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Donlen's headquarters is in a leased facility in Bannockburn, Illinois. Donlen also leases office space in Darien, Illinois for its fleet management services, consultation call center staff and certain financial systems functions. Donlen has other sales offices located throughout the U.S.

Prior to the Spin-Off, Old Hertz Holdings common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "HTZ". In connection with the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, Old Hertz Holdings stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2016 received one share of Hertz Holdings common stock for every five shares of Old Hertz Holdings common stock held as of the record date. As a result of the Spin-Off, each of Hertz Holdings and Old Hertz Holdings (aka: Herc Holdings, Inc.) are independent public companies trading on the New York Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol "HTZ" and “HRI”, respectively.
The following table sets forth the high and low sales price per share of common stock as reported by the NYSE for Old Hertz Holdings for periods prior to the Spin-Off, as adjusted for the one-to-five distribution ratio, and Hertz Holdings for periods subsequent to the Spin-Off:

Share Repurchase Program
In connection with the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, Hertz Holdings' Board approved a share repurchase program that authorizes Hertz Holdings to repurchase approximately $395 million worth of shares of its common stock (the "2016 share repurchase program"), which represents the amount remaining under the Old Hertz Holdings share repurchase programs as of the Spin-Off. The 2016 share repurchase program permits Hertz Holdings to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. It does not obligate Hertz Holdings to make any repurchases at any specific time or situation. As of December 31, 2016, Hertz Holdings repurchased two million shares for $100 million under this program.
Since Hertz Holdings does not conduct business itself, it primarily funds repurchases of its common stock using dividends from Hertz or amounts borrowed under the master loan agreement. In February 2017, as further described in Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", Hertz amended its credit agreement governing its Senior Facilities which restricts its ability to make dividends and certain restricted payments, including payments to Hertz Holdings for share repurchases.

Hertz Holdings paid no cash dividends on its common stock in 2016 or 2015, and it does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future. Since Hertz Holdings does not conduct business itself, it primarily funds dividends on its common stock using dividends from Hertz or amounts borrowed under the master loan agreement.

Recent Performance
The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return on Hertz Holdings common stock with the Russell 1000 Index and the Morningstar Rental & Leasing Services Industry Group. Consistent with the "Market Price of Common Stock" section above, the periods depicted in the chart below prior to the Spin-Off reflect the performance of Old Hertz Holdings common stock and the periods subsequent to the Spin-Off depict the Hertz Holdings common stock performance. The Russell 1000 Index is included because it is comprised of the 1,000 largest publicly traded issuers. The Morningstar Rental & Leasing Services Industry Group is a published, market capitalization-weighted index representing stocks of companies that rent or lease various durable goods to the commercial and consumer market including vehicles and trucks, medical and industrial equipment, appliances, tools and other miscellaneous goods, including Hertz Holdings.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Hertz Global” or the “Company”) is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Hertz"). As Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global, unless otherwise noted. Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz’s operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global’s revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects and differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.
The statements in MD&A regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors.” The following MD&A provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following MD&A together with the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” Item 1A, "Risk Factors,” Item 6, "Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
In this MD&A we refer to certain key metrics and Non-GAAP measures, including the following:
| |
• | Adjusted Pre-Tax Income - important to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. |
| |
• | Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD", also referred to as "pricing") - important to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control. |
| |
• | Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") - important to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the total number of vehicles in our fleet whether owned or leased ("average vehicles" or "fleet capacity"). |
| |
• | Transaction Days - important to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and vehicle utilization. Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period. Late in the third quarter of 2015 we fully integrated the Dollar Thrifty and Hertz counter systems and as a result aligned the transaction day calculation in the Hertz system. As a result of this alignment, we determined that there was an impact to the calculation and we estimate that transaction days for the U.S. Rental Car segment were increased by approximately 1% relative to historical calculations through the third quarter of 2016. This also impacts key metrics calculations that utilize transaction days, although to a lesser extent. |
| |
• | Vehicle Utilization - important to management and investors because it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to fleet capacity. Higher vehicle utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenue. |
| |
• | Net Depreciation Per Unit Per Month - important to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the time of disposal and expected hold period of the |

vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry.
Key metrics and Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above key metrics and Non-GAAP measures are defined, and the Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.
OVERVIEW OF OUR OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. In addition to vehicle rental, we provide comprehensive, integrated vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions through our Donlen subsidiary. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to adjust fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs, over time to meet expectations of market demand. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions. Our business requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
Our strategy includes optimization of our vehicle rental operations, disciplined performance management and evaluation of all locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth.
Our total revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:
| |
• | Vehicle rental revenues - revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and revenues associated with ancillary products associated with vehicle rentals, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage, parking and other products and fees, ancillary products associated with the retail vehicle sales channel and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees, including initial franchise fees, are less than 2% of total revenues each period); |
| |
• | All other operations revenues - revenues from vehicle leasing and fleet management services and other business activities. |
Our expenses primarily consist of:
| |
• | Direct vehicle and operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs); |
| |
• | Depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning vehicles (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such vehicles); |
| |
• | Selling, general and administrative expenses; and |
Generally, between 70 % and 75% of our annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining costs are fixed or semi-fixed. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff. As demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including utilization initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for demand.
Our Business Segments
We have identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the products and services provided by our operating segments and the geographic areas in which our operating segments conduct business, as follows:
| |
• | U.S. RAC - Rental of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, in the U.S.; |
| |
• | International RAC - Rental and leasing of vehicles, as well as sales of ancillary products and services, internationally; and |
| |
• | All Other Operations - Comprised of our Donlen business, which provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services, and other business activities. |
In addition to the above reportable segments, we have Corporate operations. We assess performance and allocate resources based upon the financial information for our operating segments.
Fleet
We periodically review the efficiencies of an optimal mix between program and non-program vehicles in our fleet. Program vehicles generally provide us with flexibility to increase or reduce the size of our fleet based on economic demand. When we increase the percentage of program vehicles, the average age of our fleet decreases since the average holding period for program vehicles is shorter than for non-program vehicles. We dispose of our non-program vehicles via auction, dealer-direct and our retail locations. Non-program vehicles disposed of through our retail outlets allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing and title fees. We adjust the ratio of program and non-program vehicles in our fleet as needed based on contract negotiations and the economic environment pertaining to our industry.
2016 Operating Overview
The following provides an overview of our business and financial performance and key factors influencing our results:
| |
• | We successfully completed the previously announced separation of the Old Hertz Holdings vehicle rental business and equipment rental business on June 30, 2016, receiving approximately $2.0 billion pursuant to the Separation Agreement, which was used to repay outstanding non-vehicle debt; |
| |
• | In an effort to focus resources on continuing to grow the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands, we substantially transitioned our Firefly operations to our Thrifty brand in the U.S. market in 2016; |
| |
• | In 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to form a strategic partnership with Localiza encompassing co-branding in Brazil and use of the Localiza brand in other select markets, customer referrals and the exchange of technology and information. As part of the agreement, Localiza will purchase our operations in Brazil. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2017, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions; |
| |
• | Total revenues for U.S. RAC in 2016 decreased by 3% compared to 2015 driven by a 6% decline in Total RPD, partially offset by a 3% increase in transaction days; |
| |
• | Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for U.S. RAC increased 12% to $1,753 million from $1,572 million in 2016 compared to 2015. Net depreciation per unit per month in the U.S. RAC segment increased 13% to $301 from $267 in 2016 compared to 2015. The increases are the result of declining residual values on non-program vehicles and higher vehicle acquisition costs; |

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
| |
• | Total revenues for International RAC decreased 2% in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, total revenues for International RAC were virtually flat as a 2% increase in transaction days was offset by a 2% decrease in Total RPD; |
| |
• | Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for International RAC decreased 2% to $389 million from $398 million in 2016 compared to 2015, and excluding the $12 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, was virtually flat. Net depreciation per unit per month for International RAC decreased 2% to $187 from $191 in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net was virtually flat for International RAC as a decline in residual values was partially offset by improved vehicle procurement, vehicle mix changes and optimized remarketing channels; |
| |
• | We realized cost savings of approximately $350 million in 2016. In addition to vehicle related initiatives, consolidated unit costs, defined as consolidated direct vehicle and operating and selling, general and administrative expenses per transaction day, decreased $1.25, or 4%, in 2016 compared to 2015; |
| |
• | Recorded $340 million of net goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs in 2016 compared to $70 million in 2015, primarily resulting from the 2016 impairments of $172 million of goodwill related to our European vehicle rental operations and the $120 million impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename; |
| |
• | Recorded $53 million in expenses associated with our finance and information technology transformation programs, both of which are multi-year initiatives to upgrade and modernize the Company’s systems and processes. There were no comparable costs in 2015; |
| |
• | International RAC's public liability and property damage (“PLPD”) expense increased $11 million in 2016 compared to 2015 due to case development and adverse experience on claims primarily in the United Kingdom. While the company cannot be assured that additional exposure may not materialize in the future periods, the company has proactively addressed the root cause of the impact from claims in the United Kingdom and changed its business practices accordingly; |
| |
• | Recorded $53 million in restructuring and restructuring related expenses in 2016 compared to $84 million in 2015. Included in these amounts were $8 million in consulting, audit and legal costs associated with the restatement and investigation activities in 2016 compared to $38 million in 2015; |
| |
• | In 2016, we sold approximately 236 million shares of common stock of CAR Inc., a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for net proceeds of approximately $267 million, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $84 million. In 2015, we sold approximately 138 million shares of common stock of CAR Inc. for net proceeds of approximately $236 million, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $133 million; |
| |
• | Using proceeds from the Spin-Off, together with available cash, we repaid and terminated our Senior Credit Facilities which reduced non-vehicle debt by approximately $2.1 billion. We also undertook various refinancings of non-vehicle debt in 2016 wherein durations of maturities were extended such that maturities of non-vehicle debt in 2017 were reduced to $8 million; and |
| |
• | In 2016, we recognized $55 million of losses on extinguishment of debt. This amount is comprised of $27 million in early redemption premiums associated with the redemption of all of the 7.50% Senior Notes due October 2018 and a portion of the 6.75% Senior Notes due April 2019 and $28 million in write-offs of deferred financing costs and debt discount as a result of the above redemptions, paying off and terminating our Senior Credit Facilities and refinancing various vehicle debt. Additionally, in February 2017, we amended certain agreements to extend maturities, as further described in Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." |

NM - Not meaningful
Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2015
Total revenues decreased $214 million, or 2%, due primarily to decreases in our U.S. RAC and International RAC revenues of $172 million and $51 million, respectively, partially offset by a $9 million increase in our All Other Operations segment revenues due to the performance of the Donlen business. Total RPD in our U.S. RAC segment declined 6% driven predominantly by lower rental rates, lower ancillary revenues for some products and a change in customer mix from higher yielding corporate contracted rentals to lower yielding tour and leisure rentals, primarily due to a loss in market share among corporate contracted rental accounts, partially offset by a 3% increase in volume. Volume for U.S. RAC increased 1% for our airport business and increased 7% for our off airport business versus 2015, due primarily to increases in the number of insurance replacement rentals, due in part to vehicle damage as a result of severe weather conditions and manufacturers' recalls during 2016. The impact of transaction days counting methodology related to the integration of Dollar and Thrifty to the Hertz counter system and non-rental related declines in areas such as fuel-related and other ancillary revenue had an approximately 2% unfavorable impact on pricing year over year. Excluding a $53 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, International RAC revenues were virtually flat, driven by a 2% increase in transaction days offset by a 2% decrease in Total RPD for the segment.
The decrease in direct vehicle and operating expenses of $123 million, or 2%, was primarily due to a decrease in our U.S. RAC segment of $113 million comprised of a $43 million decrease in transaction variable expense, a $36 million decrease in vehicle related expenses, a $25 million decrease in personnel related expenses and a decrease in other direct vehicle expenses of $9 million in 2016 compared to 2015. Direct vehicle and operating expenses for International RAC were virtually flat in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the $43 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, direct vehicle and operating expenses increased $48 million, or 4%, due to an increase in 2016 in PLPD expense of $22 million as a result of adverse experience and case development, a $17 million increase in 2016 in vehicle damage expense and a $16 million non-recurring credit recorded in 2015. The increases were partially offset by an $11 million

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
decrease in bad debt, technology and reservation expenses and a $9 million decrease in fuel related expense in 2016 compared to 2015.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net increased $168 million, or 7%, due to a $181 million increase in our U.S. RAC segment due to declining residual values on non-program vehicles and higher vehicle acquisition costs year over year, partially offset by a decrease of $9 million in our International RAC segment primarily driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net was virtually flat for International RAC as a decline in residual values was partially offset by improved vehicle procurement, vehicle mix changes and optimized remarketing channels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $26 million, or 3%, in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to a $53 million increase in costs in U.S. RAC and Corporate attributable to our finance and information technology transformation programs and $32 million in other information technology investments by Corporate in 2016 compared to 2015. Offsetting the above are decreases in Corporate of approximately $38 million due to decreases in incentive compensation, consulting costs and relocation costs. Additionally, in our International RAC segment, there was a $22 million decrease in SG&A, primarily resulting from a $8 million decrease in advertising expense and $9 million of expenses recorded in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the termination of a contract that did not recur in 2016. We completed initial phases of upgrades to our customer relationship platform and reservation system in 2016 and are evaluating the requirements for upgrading our fleet management systems, global budgeting and forecasting solutions and accounting systems. We expect to continue to see increases in SG&A expenses for information technology investments in 2017 and 2018.
Vehicle interest expense, net increased $27 million, or 11%, in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to a $37 million increase, primarily due to higher rates associated with increasing the mix of medium term funding versus draws under our floating rate revolving credit facilities, and $6 million of write-offs of deferred financing costs associated with the termination and refinancing of various vehicle debt, partially offset by an $18 million reduction in amortization of deferred financing costs and other debt related charges.
Although non-vehicle interest was virtually flat in 2016 compared to 2015, interest expense associated with non-vehicle debt decreased $50 million reflecting lower average debt balances primarily as a result of the termination of the $2.1 billion of Senior Credit Facilities at the time of the Spin-Off and a decrease in overall non-vehicle debt levels. This decrease reflects the refinancing of the 7.50% Senior Notes due October 2018 and a portion of the 6.75% Senior Notes due April 2019 with the lower rate Senior Term Loan and 5.50% Senior Notes due 2024, respectively. These interest savings were offset by $49 million of early redemption premiums and write-offs of deferred financing costs and debt discount associated with the above transactions.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairments of $292 million in 2016 are comprised of a $172 million impairment of goodwill related to our European vehicle rental operations and a $120 million impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename. In 2015, the $40 million impairment related to an international tradename associated with the Company's former equipment rental business.
Other income of $75 million for 2016 is primarily comprised of an $84 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc. and a $9 million settlement gain from an eminent domain case at one of our U.S. airport locations, partially offset by an $18 million impairment of the net assets held for sale related to our Brazil operations. Other income of $115 million for 2015 is primarily comprised of a $133 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc., partially offset by a $23 million charge related to a French road tax matter.
The effective tax rate in 2016 was (1)% compared to 13% in 2015, with an income tax provision of $4 million and $17 million, respectively. The $13 million decrease in the tax provision is due to a decrease in pretax operating results, the composition of operating results by jurisdiction, an increase in the valuation allowance relating to losses in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions, as well as changes in statutory effective tax rates. The year ended December 31, 2016 also includes the non-deductible impairment of goodwill on Europe vehicle rental operations.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
The results for discontinued operations are associated with the activities of the Old Hertz Holdings equipment rental business which was spun-off on June 30, 2016.
Adjusted pre-tax income was $66 million in 2016 compared to $325 million in 2015. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.
Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2014
Total revenues decreased $458 million, or 5%, due primarily to decreases in our U.S. and International RAC segments of $185 million and $288 million, respectively, partially offset by a $15 million increase in our All Other Operations segment due to the performance of the Donlen business. Lower revenue in our U.S. RAC segment was driven by lower rental rates due to competitive pressure and lower ancillary fuel sales, as well as a decline in transaction days, which were driven by lower off airport volume due in part to the impact of off airport store closures in the second quarter of 2015. Lower revenues for our International RAC segment were driven by the $367 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, revenues for our International RAC segment increased $79 million, or 4% in 2015, driven by a 2% increase in transaction days resulting from the multi-brand expansion.
The decrease in direct vehicle and operating expenses of $403 million, or 7%, was primarily comprised of decreases in our U.S. and International RAC segments of $162 million and $240 million, respectively. The decrease in our U.S. RAC segment is primarily comprised of $84 million in decreased fleet related expenses and a $71 million decrease in other direct vehicle and operating costs, partially offset by the impact of $9 million related to certain adjustments recorded in 2015 that relate to prior periods. The decrease in our International RAC segment is primarily attributable to the $219 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the remainder was attributable to lower commissions, lower fuel costs and lower restructuring charges in 2015 compared to 2014.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net decreased $272 million, or 10%, primarily due to (i) a $186 million decrease in our U.S. RAC segment due to higher residual values on certain vehicles and the mix between program and non-program cars year over year, and (ii) a decrease of $94 million in our International RAC segment driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $65 million, and improved fleet procurement and higher residual values on certain vehicles.
SG&A decreased $63 million, or 7%, in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to the $48 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates and decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs. These decreases were partially offset by an $8 million increase in costs associated with the previously disclosed accounting restatement, investigation and remediation activities. Additionally, in 2015 there were impairment charges of $6 million related to our former Dollar Thrifty headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, compared to 2014 impairment charges of $13 million related to the former corporate headquarters in New Jersey.
Interest expense, net decreased $18 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower interest rates and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher average vehicle debt balances driven by increased levels of revenue earning equipment, as well as increased amortization of deferred debt costs, including waiver fees.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairments in 2015 is comprised of a $40 million impairment related to an international tradename associated with the Company's former equipment rental business. There were no impairments of goodwill and intangible assets in 2014.
Other income of $115 million in 2015 was primarily comprised of a $133 million gain on the sale of common stock of CAR Inc., partially offset by a $23 million charge related to a French road tax matter. Other income of $10 million in 2014 was primarily comprised of a $19 million economic loss settlement we received related to a class action lawsuit filed against a vehicle manufacturer stemming from recalls of their vehicles in previous years.
The effective tax rate in 2015 was 13% compared to 7% in 2014, with an income tax provision of $17 million and a benefit of $17 million, respectively. The $34 million increase in the tax provision is primarily due to an increase in pretax

operating results, the composition of operating results by jurisdiction, a decrease in the valuation allowance relating to losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, U.S. income inclusion on the sale of CAR Inc. common stock, and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits accrued during the year. The year ended December 31, 2015 also includes an income tax benefit of net realized losses on sale of operations in France resulting from the excess book gain over tax gain recognized.
Net income from discontinued operations represents the results of the Old Hertz Holdings equipment rental business which increased $25 million, or 18%, in 2015 compared to 2014 due to an increase in other income and a decrease in the tax provision, partially offset by a decrease in revenues.
Adjusted pre-tax income was $325 million in 2015 compared to $93 million in 2014. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - HERTZ GLOBAL
The above discussion for Hertz also applies to Hertz Global.
Hertz Global has net losses from discontinued operations of $2 million, $3 million and $4 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, that are incremental to the amounts shown for Hertz. These amounts represent the net losses of the parent legal entities of Old Hertz Holdings which are deemed discontinued operations of Hertz Global but not Hertz.
In 2016, interest expense, net for Hertz Global is $1 million greater than for Hertz. This amount represents interest associated with amounts outstanding under the master loan agreement between the companies. Hertz includes this amount as interest income in its statement of operations but this amount is eliminated in consolidation for purposes of Hertz Global.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND SELECTED OPERATING DATA BY SEGMENT
U.S. Rental Car
As of December 31, 2016, our U.S. Rental Car operations had a total of approximately 4,200 corporate and franchisee locations, comprised of 1,600 airport and 2,600 off airport locations.
Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning vehicles are adjusted on certain vehicles in our vehicle rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning vehicles are sold. Based on the reviews completed during 2016, 2015 and 2014, depreciation rate changes in our U.S. RAC operations resulted in a net increase in depreciation expense of $141 million, $101 million and $167 million, respectively. The rate changes reflect declining residual values and a reduction in the planned hold period of the vehicles as compared to our initial estimates.
U.S. Rental Car operations sold approximately 232,000, 274,000 and 187,000 non-program vehicles during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2015, we implemented a significant fleet refresh, resulting in a larger number of disposals as we moved to transition out of the pre-existing fleet. In 2016, our fleet rotation was at more normalized levels, however, we did accelerate the disposal of a portion of the compact vehicle category that we acquired as part of the 2015 fleet refresh in order to reduce their percentage of the fleet mix.

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2015
Total U.S. RAC revenues were $6.1 billion in 2016, a decrease of $172 million, or 3%, from 2015. Total RPD decreased 6% driven predominantly by lower rental rates, lower ancillary revenues for some products and a change in customer mix from higher yielding corporate contracted rentals to lower yielding tour and leisure rentals, primarily due to a loss in market share among corporate contracted rental accounts, partially offset by a 3% increase in volume. Volume for U.S. RAC increased 1% for our airport business and increased 7% for our off airport business versus 2015, due primarily to increases in the number of insurance replacement rentals, due in part to vehicle damage as a result of severe weather conditions and manufacturers' recalls during 2016. The impact of transaction days counting methodology related to the integration of Dollar and Thrifty to the Hertz counter system and non-rental related declines in areas such as fuel-related and other ancillary revenue had an approximately 2% unfavorable impact on pricing year over year. Off airport revenues comprised 27% of total revenues for the segment in 2016 and 25% for 2015.
Direct vehicle and operating expenses for U.S. RAC decreased $113 million, or 3%, primarily due to the following:
| |
• | Vehicle related expenses decreased $36 million year over year primarily due to: |
| |
• | Decreased collision and short term maintenance expense of $23 million driven primarily by a $12 million decrease in net collision expense resulting from improved customer collections on damage claims resulting from process improvements and a $10 million decrease in the costs to prepare vehicles for turn-back due to a reduction in the number of program vehicles returned to the manufacturer year over year; |
| |
• | Decreased maintenance costs of $12 million primarily due to a reduction in the average age of our revenue earning vehicles, which requires less maintenance compared to 2015 and improved pricing through parts and supplier sourcing; |
| |
• | Severe weather also drove a slight increase in transportation expense as an abnormal level of fleet activity was required to rebalance fleet levels in those affected markets. |

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
| |
• | Personnel related expenses decreased $25 million compared to 2015, primarily due to a $13 million improvement in benefits expense, resulting from a decrease in worker's compensation reserves based on favorable loss experience, and an $8 million decrease in variable incentive compensation. |
| |
• | Transaction variable expenses decreased $43 million year over year due to decreased concessions and credit card expense of $29 million as a result of lower revenues and rental mix, and lower fuel expense of $32 million in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to lower fuel prices, partially offset by an increase in optional insurance liability expense of $21 million due to an increase in transaction days. |
| |
• | Other direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased $9 million year over year primarily due to a net $41 million of information technology cost savings resulting from the previously announced initiatives, offset by a $16 million increase in restructuring expenses and a $5 million increase in bad debt expense. |
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for U.S. RAC increased by $181 million, or 12%, in 2016 compared to 2015. The increase year over year is primarily the result of declining residual values on non-program vehicles and higher vehicle acquisition costs year over year. Net depreciation per unit per month increased to $301 in 2016 compared to $267 in 2015, partially offset by a 200 basis point improvement in vehicle utilization driven primarily by disciplined capacity and vehicle management that enabled a 1% year over year decline in U.S. RAC average vehicles for the year.
Income before income taxes for U.S. RAC decreased $357 million, or 86%, in 2016 compared to 2015 due primarily to the impact of lower revenues, increased depreciation expense on our revenue earning vehicles and a $120 million impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename. Additionally, there was a $23 million increase in SG&A for the segment, primarily due to costs associated with our finance and information technology transformation programs. The above were partially offset by the decrease in direct vehicle and operating expenses as discussed above, an $11 million decrease in interest expense, net, and a $9 million settlement gain from an eminent domain case related to one of our U.S. airport locations.
Adjusted pre-tax income for U.S. RAC was $298 million in 2016 compared to $551 million in 2015. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.
Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2014
Total U.S. RAC revenue was $6.3 billion in 2015, a decrease of $185 million, or 3%, from 2014 primarily as a result of declines in rate and volume. Total RPD decreased 2% predominantly driven by lower rental rates resulting from competitive pressure in the industry and lower ancillary fuel sales due to lower fuel prices. There was a 1% overall decrease in transaction days due to decreases in airport rental volume and a decrease in off airport volume due in part to the closure of approximately 200 stores in the second quarter of 2015 based on the results of a location-by-location assessment of our U.S. off airport retail store profitability. Off airport revenues comprised 25% of total revenues for the segment in both 2015 and 2014. Off airport transaction days comprised 33% of the total segment in both 2015 and 2014. Ancillary retail car sales revenues increased approximately $25 million primarily due to an increase in the number of vehicles sold year over year.
Direct vehicle and operating expenses for U.S. RAC decreased $162 million, or 4%, primarily comprised of the following:
| |
• | Fleet related expenses decreased $84 million year over year primarily due to: |
| |
• | Decreased fuel costs of $77 million due to lower fuel prices; |
| |
• | Decreased insurance costs of $21 million due to improved loss experience; |
| |
• | Decreased maintenance costs of $27 million due to our fleet refresh activities which have reduced the average age of the fleet, thus requiring less maintenance in 2015 compared to 2014; |
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
| |
• | Increased collision and short term maintenance expense of $21 million due primarily to a larger number of program cars returned to the original equipment manufacturer in the current year; and |
| |
• | Increased other vehicle operating costs of $25 million due primarily to higher amortization expense on vehicle tags and licenses. |
| |
• | Personnel related expenses decreased $7 million in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to the discontinuation of future benefit accruals and participation under certain of our pension plans as well as a reduction in other employee incentives period over period. |
| |
• | Other direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased $71 million in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to: |
| |
• | Decreased restructuring and restructuring related costs of $39 million related to reduced expenses for business transformation and integration initiatives; and |
| |
• | Decreased commissions expense of $10 million driven by lower revenue period over period, and field administration decreased year over year due to lower shared services costs and fewer charges related to headquarters relocation in 2015 compared to 2014. |
Partially offsetting the overall decrease in direct vehicle and operating expenses was the impact of $9 million related to certain adjustments recorded during 2015 that relate to prior years.
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net decreased by $186 million, or 11%, in 2015 compared to 2014 due to higher residual values on certain vehicles and the mix between program and non-program cars year over year. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased to $267 in 2015 compared to $294 in 2014.
Income before income taxes increased $155 million, or 60%, in 2015 compared to 2014 due primarily to the impact of lower direct vehicle and operating expenses and depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net. Partially offsetting the reduced expenses were lower revenues and the impact of the $13 million related to certain adjustments recorded during 2015 that relate to prior years. Additionally, in 2014, we recorded other income of $19 million resulting from an economic loss settlement we received related to a class action lawsuit filed against a vehicle manufacturer stemming from recalls of their vehicles in previous years with no comparable other income in 2015.
Adjusted pre-tax income for U.S. RAC was $551 million in 2015 compared to $387 million in 2014. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2015
Total revenues for International RAC decreased $51 million, or 2%, in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding a $53 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, revenues were virtually flat, driven by a 2% increase in transaction days offset by a 2% decrease in Total RPD for the segment. Overall, 2016 revenues were negatively impacted by the terror attacks in Europe, and the decision to exit certain accounts and lines of business. We estimate the negative impact from the terrorist attacks on our full year 2016 operating results for Europe at approximately $10 million to $15 million, on a constant currency basis.
Direct vehicle and operating expenses for International RAC were virtually flat in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the $43 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, direct vehicle and operating expenses increased $48 million, or 4%, due to an increase in 2016 in PLPD expense of $22 million as a result of adverse experience and case development, a $17 million increase in 2016 in vehicle damage expense and a $16 million non-recurring credit recorded in 2015. The increases were partially offset by an $11 million decrease in bad debt, technology and reservation expenses and a $9 million decrease in fuel related expense in 2016 compared to 2015.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for International RAC decreased $9 million, or 2%, in 2016 compared to 2015. Excluding the $12 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net was virtually flat as a decline in residual values was partially offset by improved vehicle procurement, vehicle mix changes and optimized remarketing channels. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased 2% to $187 from $191 year over year, due to optimized fleet rotation and purchasing channels.
There was a loss before income taxes for International RAC of $20 million in 2016 compared to income before income taxes of $171 million in 2015. The $191 million decrease year-over-year is primarily due to a $172 million goodwill impairment charge related to our operations in Europe, a $18 million impairment of the net assets held for sale related to our Brazil operations and lower revenues. The above are partially offset by lower depreciation, a $23 million non-recurring charge to other expense in 2015 related to a French road tax matter and a $22 million decrease in SG&A,
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

primarily resulting from $9 million of non-recurring expenses recorded in 2015 and an $8 million decrease in advertising expense.
Adjusted pre-tax income for International RAC was $194 million in 2016 compared to $215 million in 2015. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.
Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2014
Total revenues for International RAC decreased $288 million, or 12%, in 2015 compared to 2014. Excluding a $367 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, revenues increased $79 million, or 4% in 2015, driven by a 2% increase in transaction days resulting from the multi-brand expansion, particularly across Europe. Revenues in 2015 were negatively impacted by lower fuel revenues driven by lower market prices, a decline in ancillary fuel sales and a change in fuel purchase plans sold in the Europe market that took effect in 2014. Total RPD for the segment rose 2%.
Direct vehicle and operating expenses for International RAC decreased $240 million, or 16%, in 2015 compared to 2014. Excluding the $219 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates, direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased approximately $21 million, or 2%, due to lower commissions, lower fuel costs and lower restructuring charges as compared to 2014, partially offset by an increase in fleet-related self-insurance expenses.
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net for International RAC segment decreased $94 million, or 19%, mainly driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $65 million, improved fleet procurement and higher residual values on certain vehicles. Net depreciation per unit per month decreased 5% to $191 from $202 year over year.
Income before income taxes for International RAC was $171 million in 2015 compared to $95 million in 2014. The change was due mainly to the reduction in direct vehicle and operating expenses and depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges, net mentioned above. Additionally, there was a $25 million decline in interest expense, net, due to the $15 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates and lower interest rates. Also, there was a $22 million decrease in SG&A due to the $48 million impact of foreign currency exchange rates which was partially offset by $9 million of expenses recorded in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the termination of a contract. The above decreases were partially offset by lower revenues and $23 million in charges recorded in relation to a French road tax matter. Excluding the overall impact of foreign currency exchange rates, income before income taxes increased $114 million driven by higher revenues and lower expenses as discussed above.
Adjusted pre-tax income for International RAC was $215 million in 2015 compared to $144 million in 2014. See footnote (a) in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" for a summary and description of reconciling adjustments on a consolidated basis.

Our Donlen operations had an increase in revenue of $11 million in 2016 compared to 2015 and an increase of $14 million in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily driven by increased leasing volume. In 2016 versus 2015, higher revenues and decreases in vehicle depreciation were partially offset by increases in SG&A and interest expenses, resulting in a 22% increase in income before income taxes. Vehicle depreciation was lower due to a reduced number of vehicles on lease by our customers in the oil and gas industry. In 2015 versus 2014, higher revenues were partially offset by higher vehicle depreciation due to increased leasing volume in the segment, resulting in an 9% increase in income before income taxes. The remaining increases and decreases in 2016 compared to 2015 and 2015 compared to 2014 in the All Other Operations segment are due to fluctuations in other business activities within the segment.

(a) | Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus non-cash acquisition accounting charges, debt-related charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts, goodwill, intangible and tangible asset impairments and write-downs and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is important because it allows management to assess operational performance of our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider adjusted pre-tax income (loss) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance, such as net income (loss) from continuing operations or income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The contribution of our reportable segments to adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and reconciliation to the most comparable consolidated GAAP measure are presented below: |

(b) | Transaction days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one transaction day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one transaction day in a 24-hour period. Late in the third quarter of 2015 the Company fully integrated the Dollar Thrifty and Hertz counter systems and as a result aligned the transaction day calculation in the Hertz system. As a result of this alignment, Hertz determined that there was an impact to the calculation. We estimate that transaction days for the U.S. RAC segment were increased by approximately 1% relative to historical calculations through the third quarter of 2016. |
| |
(c) | Average vehicles is determined using a simple average of the number of vehicles at the beginning and end of a given period. Among other things, average vehicles is used to calculate our vehicle utilization which represents the portion of our vehicles that are being utilized to generate revenue. Vehicle utilization is calculated by dividing total transaction days by available car days. In 2014, average vehicles used to calculate vehicle utilization in our U.S. RAC segment excludes Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles as these vehicles do not have associated transaction days. In 2015, the quantity of Advantage sublease and Hertz 24/7 vehicles rounds to zero. The calculation of vehicle utilization is shown in the table below. |

(d) | Total RPD is a Non-GAAP measure that is calculated as total revenue less ancillary retail vehicle sales revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is useful in analyzing underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control. The following tables reconcile our rental car segment revenues to our total rental revenue and total revenue per transaction day (based on December 31, 2015 foreign currency exchange rates) for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: |

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the U.S. and internationally.
As of December 31, 2016, we had $816 million of cash and cash equivalents and $278 million of restricted cash. Of these amounts as of December 31, 2016, $189 million of cash and cash equivalents and $102 million of restricted cash was held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Repatriation of some of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations would expose us to additional taxes. During 2016, we changed our assertion with respect to previously taxed income and made a distribution of income previously taxed in the U.S. and return of capital of $242 million and $368 million, respectively, with no additional taxes. Except for the above transactions and cash and cash equivalents in Brazil, due to the pending sale of our operations in that foreign jurisdiction, we consider cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico to be permanently reinvested.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents generated by our U.S. operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us in the U.S. capital markets, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements in the U.S. for the next twelve months.

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared with year ended December 31, 2015
Cash from operating activities decreased $246 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an $121 million reduction in net income excluding non-cash items, and a $125 million change in working capital period over period. The decrease is primarily due to a $112 million increase in our non-vehicle receivables balance at December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015. The increase in our non-vehicle receivables was related to the timing of when payments were received on open rental agreements and credit cards, as well as an increase in other receivables year over year.
Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning vehicles. During 2016, we used $651 million less cash for investing activities compared to 2015, primarily due to a decrease in net revenue earning vehicle expenditures of $397 million compared to 2015 when we refreshed our U.S. RAC fleet. In 2015, there were advances to Old Hertz Holdings classified in investing activities of $267 million related to funding their share repurchases. Subsequent to the third quarter 2015, advances to Old Hertz Holdings are classified as financing activities as they are not expected to be repaid in cash. Therefore, there are no advances to Old Hertz Holdings in 2016 classified as investing activities. Also, there was a decrease of $68 million in net non-vehicle capital asset expenditures, primarily due to the expenditures in 2015 related to construction of our corporate headquarters in Florida, which was completed in November 2015, and a decrease in cash used for acquisitions of $93 million. The above activities were partially offset by a $160 million decrease in the net change in restricted cash due to the requirements related to our vehicle debt financing structures compared to 2015 and a decrease in sales of equity investments of $14 million in 2016.
Cash used in financing activities increased $83 million compared to 2015. Our financing transactions in 2016 yielded similar cash flows as those in 2015, but notably $2.0 billion in proceeds were received from our discontinued entities in conjunction with the Spin-Off of the equipment rental business which was used to repay and terminate our Senior Credit Facilities, thereby reducing our non-vehicle debt by approximately $2.1 billion. Additionally, there was a $102 million advance to Hertz Global related to funding their share repurchases in 2016 versus $344 million in 2015.
Year ended December 31, 2015 compared with year ended December 31, 2014
Cash from operating activities decreased $165 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to changes in working capital items period over period resulting from timing of payments.
Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning vehicles. During 2015, cash used in investing activities decreased by $112 million compared to 2014 primarily due to proceeds of $236 million received from the sale of a portion of our investment in CAR Inc. and a $167 million decrease in net revenue earning equipment and net capital asset expenditures. These cash inflows were partially offset by a $239 million increase in cash advances to Old Hertz Holdings related to funding their share repurchases in 2015 and a $37 million decrease in the net change in restricted cash due to the requirements related to our vehicle debt financing structures compared to 2014.

During 2015, cash used in financing activities increased by $27 million compared to 2014. There was a net cash inflow on vehicle debt due to proceeds from vehicle fixed medium term notes in 2015 as well as lower financing costs compared to 2014, partially offset by a net cash outflow on our non-vehicle debt in 2015. Additionally, there was a $344 million advance to Hertz Global related to funding their share repurchases in 2015 versus none in 2014.
Cash Flows - Hertz Global
As of December 31, 2016, Hertz Global had cash and cash equivalents of $816 million, an increase of $342 million from $474 million as of December 31, 2015. The following table summarizes the net change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown:

Fluctuations in operating, investing and financing cash flows from period to period are due to the same factors as those disclosed for Hertz above, with the exception of any cash inflows or outflows related to the master loan agreement between Hertz and Hertz Global, as noted in the Hertz discussion above, and cash outflows by Hertz Global for the purchase of treasury shares. Cash used in financing activities by Hertz Global for the purchase of treasury shares was $100 million and $605 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Financing
Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of vehicle and non-vehicle debt, the payment of operating expenses and capital projects and purchases of revenue earning vehicles to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of revenue earning vehicles, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets. Below we have summarized the impact of significant 2016 financing transactions, along with the impact of certain financing transactions that occurred in February 2017. See Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" ("Note 7") for complete disclosures and definitions related to our debt obligations:
Net Non-Vehicle Debt and Senior RCF Availability
In 2016, through a combination of various financing transactions and the Spin-Off, we reduced non-vehicle debt from $5.9 billion to $3.9 billion while increasing the weighted average maturity of our term non-vehicle debt from 3.4 years to 5.0 years and extending the maturity of our primary non-vehicle liquidity line (at December 31, 2015 the Senior ABL and at December 31, 2016, the Senior RCF) from March 2017 to June 2021. Corporate liquidity (defined as unrestricted cash plus availability under the primary non-vehicle liquidity line of $816 million and $1.13 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2016 and $474 million and $1.67 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2015) declined slightly to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2016 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2015. Such financing transactions and the Spin-Off included the following:
| |
• | Replacement of the terminated Senior ABL with the Senior RCF (which occurred in the context of the Spin-Off); |
| |
• | Issuance of a $700 million senior term loan and $800 million of new senior unsecured notes, with the proceeds used to repay $1.5 billion of then-outstanding shorter maturity senior unsecured notes; and |
| |
• | Repayment of approximately $2.1 billion of the Senior Term Facility. |

Vehicle Debt
We group our discussion of vehicle debt financing facilities below by reportable segment. In 2016, and in combination with the transactions executed in February 2017, the following occurred with respect to our vehicle debt financing facilities:
U.S. RAC
| |
• | Increased the aggregate principal amount of medium term notes outstanding from $2.8 billion to $4.0 billion, while the weighted average expected maturity of such notes remained flat at 2.8 years; and |
| |
• | After execution of the February 2017 transaction, the remaining capacity under various U.S. RAC revolving vehicle debt financing facilities decreased from $2.6 billion to $1.0 billion, while the remaining weighted average commitment term thereunder increased from 1.3 years to 2.1 years. |
International RAC
| |
• | After execution of the February 2017 transaction, the remaining capacity under various International RAC revolving vehicle debt financing facilities increased from $417 million to $534 million, while the remaining weighted average commitment term thereunder increased from 1.8 years to 2.0 years; and |
| |
• | Increased term vehicle debt financing outstanding from $464 million to $677 million, while the weighted average maturity thereunder remained flat at 3.0 years. |

• | Increased the aggregate principal amount of HFLF medium term notes outstanding from $853 million to $877 million, while the remaining weighted average expected maturity thereunder slightly increased from 1.0 years to 1.1 years; and |
| |
• | Remaining capacity under revolving vehicle debt facilities associated with the Donlen business declined from $130 million to $90 million, while the remaining commitment term thereunder stayed constant. |
As illustrated in the discussion above and in Note 7, we are highly leveraged, and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. For a discussion of the risks associated with our high leverage, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this 2016 Annual Report.
Cash paid for interest during 2016 was $235 million for interest on vehicle debt and $292 million for interest on non-vehicle debt.
Substantially all of our revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.
Our total liquidity as of December 31, 2016 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, unused commitments under our Senior RCF and unused commitments under our vehicle debt, see "Borrowing Capacity and Availability" and "Letters of Credit" in Note 7. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient total liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse effect on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions.
In February 2017, the Company amended agreements related to the HVF II U.S. Vehicle Variable Funding Notes, European Revolving Credit Facility, Canadian Securitization and UK Leveraged Financing primarily extending the maturities. Subsequent to the amendments, approximately $651 million of vehicle debt will mature during the twelve months following the issuance of this 2016 Annual Report and the Company will need to refinance a portion of the debt. The Company has reviewed the maturing debt obligations and determined that it is probable that the Company

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
will be able, and has the intent, to refinance such obligations before the expiration of such facilities. See Note 7 for further information regarding the nominal amounts of maturities of debt.
We believe that cash generated from operations, cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.
Covenants
The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.
Certain of the Company's other debt instruments and credit facilities (including the Senior Facilities) contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, share repurchases or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates. The Senior RCF contains a financial maintenance covenant that is only applicable to the Senior RCF. This financial covenant and related components of its computation are defined in the credit agreement related to the Senior RCF. See Note 7 for further information. At December 31, 2016, Hertz was in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio, as calculated in accordance with the Senior RCF Credit Agreement as amended in February 2017, and expects to continue to be in compliance with the Covenant Leverage Ratio for at least the next twelve months.
Guarantees
Hertz's obligations under the indentures for the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Facilities. The guarantees of all of the subsidiary guarantors may be released to the extent such subsidiaries no longer guarantee our Senior Facilities in the United States.
Rental Fleet Securitization Rating Methodology
In July 2016, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) published a request for comment regarding proposed changes to its methodology for rating rental fleet securitizations, and in December 2016, Moody's published updated methodology for rating rental fleet securitizations. In connection therewith, Moody's placed several senior tranches of our outstanding series of HVF II U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes and/or HVF U.S. Vehicle Medium Term Notes on review for downgrade as a result of Moody’s application of its new methodology to such outstanding series of notes. In February 2017, the Company took actions to maintain the ratings at their current levels and as a result of such actions Moody’s removed these tranches from review for downgrade and confirmed the ratings of such tranches at their current levels. The actions taken include the Company making changes to the underlying documentation governing such series of notes as well as providing incremental enhancement with respect to one such series. The aforementioned rating actions relate solely to certain of our securitization debt and not our corporate ratings or ratings on any of our non-vehicle debt.
Vehicle Financing Risks
Our program vehicles are subject to repurchase by vehicle manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, vehicle manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during a specified time period, typically subject to certain vehicle condition and mileage requirements. We use values derived from this specified price or guaranteed depreciation rate to calculate financing capacity under certain asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
In the event of a bankruptcy of a vehicle manufacturer, our liquidity could be impacted by several factors including reductions in fleet residual values and the risk that we would be unable to collect outstanding receivables due to us from such bankrupt manufacturer. In addition, the program vehicles manufactured by any such company would need to be removed from our financing facilities or re-designated as non-program vehicles, which would require us to furnish additional credit enhancement associated with these program vehicles. For a discussion of the risks associated with a manufacturer's bankruptcy or our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" included in this 2016 Annual Report.
We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase vehicles for our U.S. and international vehicle rental fleet. The amount of financing available to us pursuant to these programs depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including proposed and adopted SEC (and other federal agency) rules and regulations, other legislative and administrative developments, as well as rating agencies' methodologies. In this regard, there has been uncertainty regarding the potential impact of SEC rules and regulations governing asset-backed securities and additional requirements contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (including risk retention requirements) and the Basel III regulatory capital rules, a global regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity risk. While we will continue to monitor these developments and their impact on our ABS program, such rules and regulations may impact our ability and/or desire to engage in asset-backed financings in the future. For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs and our indebtedness, see Note 7. For a discussion of the risks associated with our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing and the significant amount of indebtedness, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this 2016 Annual Report.
Capital Expenditures
Revenue Earning Vehicle Expenditures
In preparation for our peak season, we typically incur higher capital expenditures during the second quarter than during the rest of the year. Additionally, disposal proceeds are usually higher during the first half of the year due to favorable demand and pricing.
The table below sets forth our revenue earning vehicle expenditures and related disposal proceeds for the periods shown:

As further described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” we revised our consolidated statements of cash flows to decrease revenue earning vehicles expenditures and decrease proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles by $679 million and $860 million in the All Other Operations

segment for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This revision had no impact on net capital expenditures for revenue earning vehicles for the segment.
Year ended December 31, 2016 compared with year ended December 31, 2015
In 2016, net expenditures on revenue earning vehicles decreased by $397 million, primarily due to a higher quantity of vehicles acquired in 2015 in our U.S. RAC segment as part of our fleet refresh. In our International segment, there was a greater number of disposals of program vehicles and a larger number of leased vehicles in 2016 compared to 2015.
Year ended December 31, 2015 compared with year ended December 31, 2014
In 2015, net expenditures on revenue earning equipment decreased by $57 million, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the timing of purchases and related payments and fleet mix in our International RAC segment. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in net expenditures on revenue earning equipment in our U.S. RAC segment due to our fleet strategy of increasing the rotation of vehicles to reduce the average vehicle age and to improve customer satisfaction by providing lower mileage vehicles.

Share Repurchase Program - Hertz Global
As of December 31, 2016, Hertz Holdings repurchased two million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million under the 2016 share repurchase program. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the 2016 share repurchase program is $295 million. Since Hertz Holdings does not conduct business itself, it primarily funds repurchases of its common stock using dividends from Hertz or amounts borrowed under the master loan agreement. In February 2017, as further described in Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", Hertz amended its credit agreement governing its Senior Facilities which restricts its ability to make dividends and certain restricted payments, including payments to Hertz Holdings for share repurchases.

OFF BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:
As described in Note 3, "Discontinued Operations" to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", the Separation and Distribution Agreement with Herc Holdings contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters.
Certain former Stockholders; Directors
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain of our officers. Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and certain of our former stockholders and their affiliates and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.
Environmental
We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $2 million and $2 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to significant expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 8, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Effective December 31, 2014, we amended the Hertz Retirement Plan to permanently discontinue future benefit accruals and participation under the plan for non-union employees. Interest credits under the plan will
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
continue to be credited on existing participant account balances under the plan until benefits are distributed and service will continue to be recognized for vesting and retirement eligibility requirements.
Also, effective as of December 31, 2014, we permanently discontinued future benefit accruals and participation under The Hertz Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP") and The Hertz Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP II”). Service will continue to be recognized for vesting and retirement eligibility requirements under the BEP and SERP II.
Our 2016 worldwide pre-tax pension expense is $3 million, which represents an increase of $7 million from 2015. In general, pension expense increased in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to lower return on assets and settlement losses in 2016, as a result of a decrease in asset value due to benefit payments and investment losses, as well as a reduction in the expected return on assets assumption.
The funded status (i.e., the dollar amount by which the projected benefit obligations exceeded the market value of pension plan assets) of the Hertz Retirement Plan, in which most domestic employees participate, is consistent in December 31, 2016, compared with December 31, 2015. We did not contribute to the Hertz Retirement Plan during 2016. We do not anticipate contributing to the Hertz Retirement Plan during 2017. For the international plans, we anticipate contributing $3 million during 2017. The level of 2017 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.
We participate in several "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. Our multiemployer plans could have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For a discussion of the risks associated with our pension plans, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors” in this 2016 Annual Report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
The following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application, and therefore, represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, as well as our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Revenue Earning Vehicles
Our principal assets are revenue earning vehicles, which represented approximately 56% of our total assets as of December 31, 2016. Revenue earning vehicles consists of vehicles utilized in our vehicle rental operations. For the year ended December 31, 2016, 32% of the vehicles purchased for our combined U.S. and International vehicle rental fleets were program vehicles, which are subject to repurchase by automobile manufacturers under contractual repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, subject to certain manufacturers' vehicle condition and mileage requirements, at a specific price during a specified time period. These programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under these programs. Incentives received from the manufacturers for purchases of vehicles reduce
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
the cost. For all other vehicles, we use historical experience, industry residual value guidebooks and the monitoring of market conditions, to set depreciation rates. Generally, when revenue earning vehicles are acquired outside of a vehicle repurchase program, we estimate the period that we will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage) and the targeted age of vehicles at the time of disposal. We also estimate the residual value of the applicable revenue earning vehicles at the expected time of disposal. The residual values for rental vehicles are affected by many factors, including make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year and channel of disposition (e.g., auction, retail, dealer direct). Depreciation is recorded over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Market conditions for used vehicle sales can also be affected by external factors such as the economy, natural disasters, fuel prices, used vehicle supply levels, and incentives offered by manufacturers of new vehicles. These key factors are considered when estimating future residual values. Depreciation rates are adjusted prospectively through the remaining expected life. As a result of this ongoing assessment, we make periodic adjustments to depreciation rates of revenue earning vehicles in response to changing market conditions. Upon disposal of revenue earning vehicles, depreciation expense is adjusted for any difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value and a corresponding gain or loss is recorded.
Under our vehicle repurchase programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the vehicles covered by the programs upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the vehicles. We record a provision for excess mileage and vehicle condition, as necessary, during the holding period. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under the programs and allow us to reduce the variability of depreciation expense for such vehicles, however, typically the acquisition cost is higher.
Within Donlen, revenue earning vehicles are leased under longer term agreements with our customers. These leases contain provisions whereby we have a contracted residual value guaranteed to us by the lessee, such that we rarely experience any economic gains or losses on the disposal of these vehicles. Donlen accounts for its lease contracts using the appropriate lease classifications.
See Note 5, "Revenue Earning Vehicles," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Self-insured Liabilities
Self-insured liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets include public liability, property damage, liability insurance supplement, personal accident insurance, and personal effects coverage claims for which we are self-insured. These represent an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.
See Note 17, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Employee Benefits
We sponsor defined benefit plans worldwide. We also participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans for which Hertz is not the sponsor. Our employee pension costs and obligations are dependent on our assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
| |
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations. The various employee-related actuarial assumptions (e.g., retirement rates, mortality rates and salary growth) used in determining pension costs and plan liabilities are reviewed periodically by management, assisted by the enrolled actuary, and updated as warranted. The discount rate used to value the pension liabilities and related expenses and the expected rate of return on plan assets are the two most critical assumptions impacting pension expense. The discount rate used is a market based spot rate as of the valuation date. For the expected return on assets assumption, we use a forward looking rate that is based on the expected return for each asset class (including the value added by active investment management), weighted by the target asset allocation. The past annualized long-term performance of the Plans' assets has generally been in line with the long-term rate of return assumption. We utilize fair value to calculate the market-related value of pension assets for the U.S. Plan for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets and accounting for asset gains and losses.
See Note 8, "Employee Retirement Benefits," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Also, for a discussion of the risks associated with our multiemployer pension plans, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors” in this 2016 Annual Report.
Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
On an annual basis and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event, we test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis.
Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. We test goodwill at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. However, components are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model for impairment testing include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections, tax rates and terminal value rates. Discount rates are set by using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) methodology. The WACC methodology considers market and industry data as well as Company specific risk factors for each reporting unit in determining the appropriate discount rates to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. The cash flows represent management's most recent planning assumptions. These assumptions are based on a combination of industry outlooks, views on general economic conditions, our expected pricing plans and expected future savings generated by our past restructuring activities. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and long-term growth rates. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. A significant decline in the projected cash flows or a change in the WACC used to determine fair value could result in a future goodwill impairment charge. In the fourth quarter 2016, we performed our annual impairment analyses as of October 1, 2016 and at that date, we had four reporting units: U.S. Rental Car, Europe Rental Car, Other International Rental Car and Donlen.
In the impairment analysis for an indefinite-lived intangible asset, we compare the carrying value of the asset to its implied fair value and recognize an impairment charge whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its implied fair value. The implied fair value for a tradename is estimated using a relief from royalty approach, which utilizes our revenue projections for each asset along with assumptions for royalty rates, tax rates and WACC.
The reviews of fair value involve judgment and estimates, including projected revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. We believe our valuation techniques and assumptions are reasonable for this purpose. We have not materially changed our methodology for valuing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) |
In performing the impairment analyses, we leveraged our long-term strategic plans, which are based on our strategic initiatives for future profitability growth. The WACC used in the discounted cash flow model was calculated based upon the fair value of our debt and our stock price with a debt to equity ratio comparable to our industry. The results of our analyses performed as of October 1, 2016 indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible asset was substantially in excess of its carrying value except for the Europe Rental Car reporting unit and the Dollar Thrifty tradename. The Company determined that the goodwill associated with the Europe Rental Car reporting unit was partially impaired and recorded a charge of $172 million. The impairment was largely due to declines in revenue and profitability projections associated with the vehicle rental operations in Europe, coupled with an increased WACC. The carrying value of the goodwill of the Europe Rental Car reporting unit at December 31, 2016 is approximately $15 million, representing its estimated fair value. An increase of 1 percentage point to the weighted average cost of capital assumption used in the impairment analysis of the Europe Rental Car reporting unit goodwill could impact the impairment charge by approximately $10 million. The Company determined that the Dollar Thrifty tradename associated with its U.S. Rental Car segment was partially impaired and recorded a charge of $120 million. The impairment was largely due to a decrease in long-term revenue projections, due in part to increased competition in the leisure segment of our business, along with an increased WACC. The carrying value of the Dollar Thrifty tradename at December 31, 2016 is approximately $1.0 billion, representing its estimated fair value. An increase of 1 percentage point to the WACC assumption used in the Dollar Thrifty tradename impairment analysis could impact the impairment charge by approximately $90 million. See Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Long-lived Assets, Including Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets include concession agreements, technology, customer relationships, and other intangibles. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives, including technology-related intangibles, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from one to fifty years and two to fifteen years, respectively. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Subsequent changes to enacted tax rates and changes to the global mix of operating results will result in changes to the tax rates used to calculate deferred taxes and any related valuation allowances. Provisions are not made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes. Future distributions, if any, from these international subsidiaries to the United States or changes in U.S. tax rules may require recording a tax on these amounts. We have recorded a deferred tax asset for unutilized net operating loss carryforwards in various tax jurisdictions. Upon utilization, the taxing authorities may examine the positions that led to the generation of those net operating losses. If the utilization of any of those losses are disallowed a deferred tax liability may have to be recorded.
See Note 13, "Income Tax (Provision) Benefit," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Financial Instruments
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, gasoline and diesel fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage exposure to these market risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of financial instruments. Financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. We measure all financial instruments at their fair value and do not offset the derivative assets and liabilities in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As we do not have financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in our operating results.
Stock Based Compensation
The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs is recognized ratably over the vesting period. In addition to service vesting conditions, PSUs may have additional vesting conditions which call for the number of units that will be awarded based on achievement of certain pre-determined performance goals as defined in the applicable award agreements, over the applicable measurement period.
The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. These factors combined with the stock price on the date of grant result in a fixed expense which is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The assumed volatility for Hertz Holdings common stock is based on historical stock price data. The assumed dividend yield is zero. The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity approximately equal to the expected term of the options, as of the grant dates. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”) the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan (“Director Plan”) and the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) are pushed down from Hertz Global and recorded on the books at the Hertz level. See Note 9, "Stock-Based Compensation," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," — "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

RISK MANAGEMENT
For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see “Item 1—Business—Risk Management” in this 2016 Annual Report.
Market Risks
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
We have a significant amount of debt with a mix of fixed and variable rates of interest. Floating rate debt carries interest based generally on LIBOR, Euro inter-bank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) or their equivalents for local currencies or bank conduit commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt. See Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our operating results assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio and cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2016, our pre-tax operating results would decrease by an estimated $49 million over a twelve-month period.
From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and/or interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk and our mix of fixed and floating rate debt. See Note 14, "Financial Instruments," to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Consistent with the terms of certain agreements governing the respective debt obligations, we may be required to hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the various debt facilities to provide protection in respect of such exposure.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily with respect to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound.
We manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet purchases and borrowing locally. Also, we have purchased foreign currency exchange rate options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for selected cross currency marketing programs. Our risks with respect to foreign currency exchange rate options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty.
We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on cross currency intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans are entered which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations.
We do not hedge our operating results against currency movement as they are primarily translational in nature. Using foreign currency forward rates as of December 2016, we expect revenue growth to be negatively impacted by approximately 1% over a twelve-month period. Additionally, each 1% point change in foreign currency movements is estimated to impact our adjusted pre-tax income by an estimated $2 million over a twelve-month period.
Fuel Risks
We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates. We are subject to price exposure related to the fluctuations in the price of fuel. We anticipate that fuel risk will remain a market risk for the foreseeable future. We have determined that a 10% hypothetical change in the price of fuel will not have a material impact on our operating results.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
Inflation
The increased cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs and gasoline. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.
Other Income Tax Related Matters
In January 2006, we implemented an LKE Program for our U.S. vehicle rental business (the "U.S. Rental Car LKE Program"). Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form intended to allow such dispositions and replacements to qualify as tax-deferred "like-kind exchanges" pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program has resulted in deferral of federal and state income taxes for fiscal years 2006 through 2009 and 2013 through 2016, and part of 2010 and 2012. These programs allow tax deferral if a qualified replacement asset is acquired within a specific time period after asset disposal. Accordingly, if a qualified replacement asset is not purchased within this limited time period, taxable gain is recognized. Over the last few years, for strategic purposes, such as cash management, we have recognized some taxable gains in the programs. We cannot offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will continue or that the relevant law concerning the programs will remain in its current form. An extended reduction in our vehicle rental fleet could result in reduced deferrals in the future, which in turn could require us to make material cash payments for federal and state income tax liabilities. Our inability to obtain replacement financing as our fleet financing facilities mature would likely result in an extended reduction in the fleet value. In August 2010, we elected to temporarily suspend the U.S. Rental Car LKE Program allowing cash proceeds from sales of vehicles to be utilized for various business purposes, including paying down existing debt obligations, future growth initiatives and for general operating purposes. From August 2010 through year end 2011, recognized tax gains on vehicle dispositions resulting from the LKE suspension were more than offset by 100% tax depreciation on newly acquired vehicles. The U.S. Rental Car LKE Program was reinstated on October 15, 2012. During 2012 the allowable 50% bonus depreciation helped offset tax gains during the period of LKE suspension. In addition, Dollar Thrifty and Donlen similarly used an LKE program prior to our acquisition of these companies and both companies continue to use the LKE programs.
There is significant uncertainty as to whether the U.S. federal and state income tax laws, legislation or regulations governing like-kind exchange and accelerated depreciation deductions will remain intact in their current form. If the laws, regulations or administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations changes, there could be an adverse impact on our ability to defer gain on the sales of our U.S. revenue earning rental vehicles and/or recognize accelerated depreciation on said vehicles. This could result in the company being required to make material cash payments resulting from the inability to defer U.S. federal and state gain on the sales of the revenue earning vehicles. We cannot predict when or if any changes will be adopted and in what manner.
Current year to date dispositions of Hertz Global's common stock by certain significant shareholders, when combined with other dispositions of Hertz Global's stock over the previous 36 months, have not resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Code. Consequently, there is no limitation on the utilization of all pre-2016 U.S. net operating losses.
In connection with the Spin-Off, Herc Holdings received a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that, subject to the accuracy of and compliance with certain representations, assumptions and covenants, (i) the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, and (ii) the internal spin-off transactions will qualify as tax free under Section 355 of the Code. A private letter ruling from the IRS generally is binding on the IRS. However, the IRS ruling did not rule that the Spin-Offs satisfied every requirement for a tax-free spin-off, and Herc Holdings and Hertz Global relied solely on opinions of professional advisors to determine that such additional requirements were satisfied. The ruling and the opinions relied on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from Herc Holdings and Hertz Holdings regarding the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings were incorrect or not otherwise satisfied, Herc Holdings and Hertz Global, and their affiliates may not be able to rely on the ruling or the opinions of tax advisors and could be subject to significant tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and opinions of tax advisors, the IRS could determine on audit that the Spin-Offs and related transactions are taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinions that are not covered by the private letter ruling, or for any other reason, including as a result of certain significant changes in the stock ownership of Herc Holdings or Hertz Global after the Spin-Off. If the Spin-Offs or related transactions are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Herc Holdings and Hertz Global and, in certain cases, their stockholders (at the time of the Spin-Off) could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities, including taxation on the value of the Hertz Global stock distributed in the Spin-Off and the value of other companies distributed in the internal Spin-Off transactions, and Hertz Global could incur significant liabilities, either directly to the tax authorities or under a Tax Matters Agreement entered into with Herc Holdings.
The IRS completed their audit of the Company's 2007 to 2009 and surveyed 2010 and 2011 tax returns and had no changes to the previously filed tax returns. Currently, the Company's 2014 tax year is under audit by the IRS.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)1(A) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)2 present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date. The material weaknesses related to 1) risk assessment, as the Company did not effectively design and maintain controls in response to the risks of material misstatement, 2) ineffective controls over the non-fleet procurement process, and 3) ineffective controls over certain accounting estimates. The risk assessment material weakness contributed to additional material weaknesses related to 4) ineffective controls over certain information technology systems that are relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, 5) the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports, spreadsheets, and data transfers used in the accounting for estimates related to revenue earning vehicles, and 6) the accounting for income taxes.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2016 consolidated financial statements and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Global" when including its subsidiaries and "Hertz Holdings" excluding its subsidiaries) was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz" and interchangeably with Hertz Global, the "Company"), Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918. Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-owned, licensee and franchisee locations in the U.S., Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, The Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. Through its Donlen subsidiary, Hertz provides vehicle leasing and fleet management services.
On June 30, 2016, former Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (for periods on or prior to June 30, 2016, “Old Hertz Holdings” and for periods after June 30, 2016, “Herc Holdings”) completed a spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of record of Old Hertz Holdings as of the close of business on June 22, 2016, the record date for the distribution, of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. (“New Hertz”), which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. in connection with the Spin-Off, on a one-to-five basis. See Note 19, "Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Hertz Global," for further information regarding the equity of Old Hertz Holdings and Hertz Global. Hertz Global is now an independent public company and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HTZ". Herc Holdings, which changed its name to Herc Holdings Inc. on June 30, 2016, trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “HRI”.
Despite the fact that this was a reverse spin off and Hertz Global was spun off from Old Hertz Holdings and was the legal spinnee in the transaction, for accounting purposes, due to the relative significance of New Hertz to Old Hertz Holdings, Hertz Global is considered the spinnor or divesting entity and Herc Holdings is considered the spinnee or divested entity. As a result, New Hertz, or Hertz Global, is the “accounting successor” to Old Hertz Holdings. As such, the historical financial information of Hertz reflects the equipment rental business as a discontinued operation and the historical financial information of Hertz Global reflects the equipment rental business and certain parent legal entities as discontinued operations. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," for additional information. Unless noted otherwise, information disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements pertain to the continuing operations of Hertz and Hertz Global.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Principles
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz and its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Correction of Errors
The Company has identified classification errors within the investing section of the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the classification errors individually, and in the aggregate, and determined that the classification errors were not material and has revised the accompanying statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 to correct for the classification errors. Correction of the errors, which did not impact total operating, investing or financing cash flows, decreased both revenue earning vehicles expenditures and proceeds from disposals of revenue earning vehicles by $679 million and $860 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This revision had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 or its consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company will correct the cash flow statements for the interim periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2016 in the Company's 2017 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include depreciation of revenue earning vehicles, reserves for litigation and other contingencies, accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions, pension and postretirement benefit costs, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation, public liability and property damage reserves, reserves for restructuring, allowance for doubtful accounts, and fair value of financial instruments, among others.
Revenue Earning Vehicles
Revenue earning vehicles are stated at cost, net of related discounts. Generally, holding periods range from six to thirty-six months. Incentives received from the manufacturers for purchases of vehicles reduce the capitalized cost. Generally, when revenue earning vehicles are acquired outside of a vehicle repurchase program, the Company estimates the period that the Company will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage). The Company also estimates the residual value of the applicable revenue earning vehicles at the expected time of disposal. The residual values for rental vehicles are affected by many factors, including make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year and channel of disposition (e.g., auction, retail, dealer direct). Depreciation is recorded over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Market conditions for used vehicle sales can also be affected by external factors such as the economy, natural disasters, fuel prices, used vehicle supply levels and incentives offered by manufacturers of new vehicles. These key factors are considered when estimating future residual values and assessing depreciation rates. As a result of this ongoing assessment, the Company makes periodic adjustments to depreciation rates of revenue earning vehicles in response to changing market conditions. Upon disposal of revenue earning vehicles, depreciation expense is adjusted for the difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value.
For vehicles acquired under the Company's vehicle repurchase programs ("program vehicles"), the manufacturers agree to repurchase program vehicles at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the vehicles during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain vehicle condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the program vehicle upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the vehicles. The Company records a provision for excess mileage and vehicle condition, as necessary, during the holding period. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit the Company's residual risk with respect to program vehicles and allow us to determine depreciation expense in advance, however, typically the acquisition cost is higher for these program vehicles.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Donlen's revenue earning vehicles are leased under long term agreements with its customers. These leases contain provisions whereby Donlen has a contracted residual value guaranteed by the lessee, such that it does not experience any gains or losses on the disposal of these vehicles. Donlen accounts for its lease contracts using the appropriate lease classifications.
The Company continually evaluates revenue earning vehicles to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life or whether the vehicle should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses a combination of the undiscounted cash flows and market approaches in assessing whether an asset has been impaired. The Company measures impairment losses based upon the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value.
Self-insured Liabilities
Self-insured liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include public liability, property damage, liability insurance supplement, personal accident insurance, and personal effects coverage claims for which the Company is self-insured. These represent an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Employee Benefits
The Company has defined benefit plans worldwide. The Company also participates in multi-employer defined benefit plans for which Hertz is not the sponsor. For the Company sponsored plans, the relevant accounting guidance requires that management make certain assumptions relating to discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to its pension are critical accounting estimates, because they are susceptible to change from period to period based on the performance of plan assets, actuarial valuations, market conditions and contracted benefit changes. The various employee-related actuarial assumptions (e.g., retirement rates, mortality rates and salary growth) used in determining pension costs and plan liabilities are reviewed periodically by management, assisted by the enrolled actuary, and updated as warranted. The discount rate used to value the pension liabilities and related expenses and the expected rate of return on plan assets are the two most critical assumptions impacting pension expense. The discount rate used is a market based spot rate as of the valuation date. For the expected return on assets assumption, the Company uses a forward looking rate that is based on the expected return for each asset class (including the value added by active investment management), weighted by the target asset allocation. Actual results may differ substantially from the estimates that were based on the critical assumptions. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of the plans. The Company utilizes fair value to calculate the market-related value of pension assets for the U.S. Plan for purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets and accounting for asset gains and losses.
Actual results that differ from the Company's assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect its recognized expense in such future periods. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect the Company's pension costs and obligations. The Company recognizes the funded status of each defined benefit pension plan in the consolidated balance sheet. Each overfunded plan is recognized as an asset, and each underfunded plan is recognized as a liability. Pension plan liabilities are revalued annually based on updated assumptions and information about the individuals covered by the plan. For pension plans, if accumulated actuarial gains and losses are in excess of a 10 percent corridor, the excess is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Prior service cost and the transition asset are amortized on a straight-line basis from the date recognized over the average remaining service period of active participants.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company maintains reserves for employee medical claims, up to its insurance stop-loss limit, and workers’ compensation claims. These are regularly evaluated and revised, as needed, based on a variety of information, including historical experience, actuarial estimates and current employee statistics.
Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
On an annual basis and at interim periods when circumstances require as a result of a triggering event, the Company tests the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing an impairment analysis.
The Company utilizes the two-step impairment analysis for goodwill and elects not to use the qualitative assessment or “step zero” approach. In the two-step impairment analysis for goodwill, the Company compares the carrying value of each identified reporting unit to its fair value. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, the second step is performed, where the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using the net present value of discounted cash flows generated by each reporting unit and incorporate various assumptions related to discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections, tax rates and terminal value rates specific to the reporting unit to which they are applied. Discount rates are set by using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) methodology. The Company’s discounted cash flows are based upon reasonable and appropriate assumptions, which are weighted for their likely probability of occurrence, about the underlying business activities of the Company’s reporting units.
In the impairment analysis for an indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its implied fair value and recognizes an impairment charge whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its implied fair value. The implied fair value for a tradename is estimated using a relief from royalty approach, which utilizes the Company’s revenue projections for each asset along with assumptions for royalty rates, tax rates and WACC.
Long-lived Assets, Including Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets include concession agreements, technology, customer relationships and other intangibles. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives, including technology-related intangibles, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from one to fifty years and two to fifteen years, respectively. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, gasoline and diesel fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages exposure to these market risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of financial instruments. Financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the Company's exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. The Company measures all financial instruments at their fair value and does not offset the derivative assets and liabilities in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As the Company does not have financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in the Company's operating results.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company has estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate.
The Company accounts for restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards as equity classified awards. For restricted stock units the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock and the number of shares that vest, recognized over the service period. For performance stock units the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock, recognized over a two to four year service period depending upon the applicable performance condition. For performance stock units, the Company re-assesses the probability of achieving the applicable performance condition each reporting period and adjusts the recognition of expense accordingly.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Subsequent changes to enacted tax rates and changes to the global mix of operating results will result in changes to the tax rates used to calculate deferred taxes and any related valuation allowances. Provisions are not made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes. Future distributions, if any, from these international subsidiaries to the United States or changes in U.S. tax rules may require recording a tax on these amounts. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for unutilized net operating loss carryforwards in various tax jurisdictions. Upon utilization, the taxing authorities may examine the positions that led to the generation of those net operating losses. If the utilization of any of those losses are disallowed a deferred tax liability may have to be recorded.
Revenue Recognition
The Company reports revenues net of any taxes or non-concession fees collected from customers on behalf of governmental authorities.
Vehicle Rental Operations
The Company derives revenue through rental activities by the operations and licensing of the Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty brands under franchise agreements. The Company also derives revenue from other forms of rental related activities, such as sales of loss damage waivers, insurance products, fuel and fuel service charges, navigation units and other consumable items. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered to customers, the pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Franchise fees are based on a percentage of net sales of the franchised business and are recognized as earned and when collectability is reasonably assured. Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred income when received and are recognized as revenue when all material services and conditions related to the franchise fee have been substantially performed. Renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue when the license agreements are effective and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue and expenses associated with gasoline, vehicle licensing and airport concessions are recorded on a gross basis within revenue and operating expenses.

Fleet Leasing and Management Operations
Each customer contract is considered a standalone agreement and leasing revenue is recognized ratably over the contract life. Administration fees and service revenue attributable to the Company's Donlen operations, net of any fees collected from customers on behalf of third party service providers, are recognized as services are rendered and any subscription fees are recognized ratably over the subscription life.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for use in the Company's operating activities. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of proceeds from the disposition of vehicles pledged under the terms of vehicle debt financing arrangements, cash utilized as credit enhancement under those arrangements, and certain cash accounts supporting regulatory reserve requirements related to the Company's self-insurance. These funds are primarily held in demand deposit accounts or in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations.
Receivables
Receivables are stated net of allowances and primarily represent credit extended to vehicle manufacturers and customers that satisfy defined credit criteria. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's historical experience and its judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Actual receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines the balance will not be collected. Estimates for future credit memos are based on historical experience and are reflected as reductions to revenue, while bad debt expense is reflected as a component of "direct vehicle and operating" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives are as follows:
|
| |
Buildings | 5 to 50 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 1 to 15 years |
Service vehicles and equipment | 1 to 13 years |
Leasehold improvements | The lesser of the economic life or the lease term |
The Company follows the practice of charging maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, to maintenance expense. Costs of major replacements of units of property are capitalized to property and equipment accounts and depreciated.
Acquisitions
The Company records acquisitions resulting in the consolidation of an enterprise using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the acquiring company records the assets acquired, including intangible assets that can be identified and named, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. If the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, are greater than the purchase price paid then a bargain purchase has occurred and the Company will recognize the gain immediately in its operating results. Among other sources of relevant information, the Company may use independent appraisals and actuarial or other valuations to assist in determining the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities. Various assumptions are used in the
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
determination of these estimated fair values including discount rates, market and volume growth rates, expected royalty rates, EBITDA margins and other prospective financial information. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred.
Divestitures
The Company classifies long-lived assets and liabilities to be disposed of as held for sale in the period in which they are available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. The Company initially measures assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and assesses their fair value each reporting period until disposed. When the divestiture represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the disposal is presented as a discontinued operation.
Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Environmental Liabilities
The use of automobiles and other vehicles is subject to various governmental controls designed to limit environmental damage, including those caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these controls are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional vehicle failure requiring repair. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded at undiscounted amounts when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company maintains a liability for asset retirement obligations. Asset retirement obligations are legal obligations to perform certain activities in connection with the retirement, disposal or abandonment of long-lived assets. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are primarily related to the removal of gasoline storage tanks and the restoration of its rental facilities. The asset retirement obligations are measured at discounted fair values at the time the liability is incurred. Accretion expense is recognized as an operating expense using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate in effect when the liability was recognized. The associated asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates throughout the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in the Company's operating results.

Advertising
Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed the first time the advertising or sales promotion takes place. Advertising costs are reflected as a component of “Selling, general and administrative” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $159 million, $167 million, and $196 million, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in various investment grade institutional money market accounts and bank term deposits. Deposits held at banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company seeks to mitigate such risks by spreading the risk across multiple counterparties and monitoring the risk profiles of these counterparties. In addition, the Company has credit risk from financial instruments used in hedging activities. The Company limits exposure relating to financial instruments by diversifying the financial instruments among various counterparties, which consist of major financial institutions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires that a performance target in a share-based payment award that affects vesting and that can be achieved after the requisite service period is completed is to be accounted for as a performance condition; therefore, compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved, and the amount of compensation cost recognized should be based on the portion of the service period fulfilled. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis
In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively on January 1, 2016, in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit and other revolving debt arrangements may be deferred and presented as an asset. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date.
Adoption of this guidance required the Company to reclassify $73 million of debt issuance costs from prepaid expenses and other assets to debt in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance for customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016, in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments for Business Combinations
In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period of a business combination to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined, rather than retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016 in accordance with the effective date. Adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Not Yet Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new guidance applies to all contracts with customers except for leases, insurance contracts, financial instruments, certain nonmonetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue from customers for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The new principles-based revenue recognition model requires an entity to perform five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Under the new guidance, performance obligations in a contract will be separately identified, which may impact the timing of recognition of the revenue allocated to each obligation. The measurement of revenue recognized may also be impacted by identification of new performance obligations and other provisions, such as collectability and variable consideration. The guidance will impact the Company’s accounting for certain contracts and its Hertz Gold Plus Rewards liability. Upon adoption, each transaction which generates Hertz Gold Plus Rewards points will result in the deferral of revenue; the associated revenue will be recognized at the time when the customer redeems the reward points. Currently the Company records an expense associated with the incremental cost of providing the rental when the reward points are earned. Also, additional disclosures are required about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new guidance may be adopted on either a full or modified retrospective basis. As originally issued, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those reporting periods. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.
In March 2016, the FASB issued clarifying guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction, which impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. In April 2016, the FASB issued guidance that reduces the complexity of identifying performance obligations and clarifies the implementation guidance on licensing for intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the collectability criterion, the presentation of sales taxes, and noncash consideration, and provides additional implementation practical expedients. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that makes several changes to the manner in which financial assets and liabilities are accounted for, including, among other things, a requirement to measure most equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (with the exception of investments that are consolidated or accounted for using the equity method or a fair value practicability exception), and amends certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements and financial assets and liabilities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition method for most of the requirements. Based on current operations, adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that replaces the existing lease guidance. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance will impact the Company's accounting for leases of the Company's rental locations, as the Company owns approximately 3% of the locations from which it operates its vehicle rental business, in addition to leases of other assets. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This guidance also expands the requirements for lessees to record leases embedded in other arrangements and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. For lessors, the guidance modifies classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases and requires a lessor to derecognize the carrying value of the leased asset that is considered to have been transferred to a lessee and record a lease receivable and residual asset. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition approach. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for both lessees and lessors for existing leases at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when significant influence over a previously held investment is obtained. Rather, the guidance requires the investor to add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies several areas of employee share-based payment accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and classifications within the statement of cash flows. Most significantly, the new guidance eliminates the need to track tax “windfalls” in a separate pool within additional paid-in capital; instead, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recorded within income tax expense. This will result in the Company reclassifying excess tax benefits from additional paid-in capital to retained earnings on the balance sheet. The new guidance also gives entities the ability to elect whether to estimate forfeitures or account for them as they occur. Different adoption methods are required for the various aspects of the new guidance, including the retrospective, modified retrospective and prospective approaches, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Adoption of the requirements within this guidance related to forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and classifications within the statement of cash flows is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The impact of the elimination of the tax "windfalls" within this guidance is expected to result in an increase to deferred tax assets of approximately $46 million with a corresponding decrease to accumulated deficit in the
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Company's consolidated balance sheets as of the adoption date and is not expected to impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that sets forth a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for financial assets, which replaces the current incurred loss model. This model requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets), including trade receivables, measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition method. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance that addresses the treatment of certain transactions in statements of cash flow, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified. These items include debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, proceeds from the settlement of life insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using the retrospective transition method. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its presentation of cash flows.
Tax Consequences of Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires the tax consequences of intra-entity asset transfers, other than intra-entity asset transfers of inventory, to be recognized when the transfers occur although the profits on the sales of the assets are eliminated in consolidation. Current guidance requires the tax effects of the transfer be recognized later when the assets are sold to a third party or otherwise disposed of. Under the new guidance, the seller's tax expense on the profit and the buyer's deferred tax benefit on the increased tax basis are recognized within the consolidated group when the transfers occur. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impacts of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control
In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that addresses implementation issues with the consolidation guidance it issued in February 2015. The guidance addresses questions on how a single decision maker should treat indirect interests held by its related parties when the decision maker and its related parties are under common control. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods and should be adopted with the related consolidation guidance issued in February 2015. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies existing guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in its cash and cash equivalents balances in the statement of cash flows. Under current guidance, the Company presents these transfers within the cash flows from investing section in its consolidated statements of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within

those annual periods using a retrospective transition method. The Company is in the process of assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its presentation of cash flows.
Note 3—Discontinued Operations
As further described in Note 1, "Background," on June 30, 2016, the separation of Old Hertz Holdings' global vehicle rental and equipment rental businesses was completed. In connection with the Spin-Off, Hertz Global and Herc Holdings entered into multiple agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward. As the primary operating company for Hertz Global, the agreements that follow also apply to Hertz directly.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
Hertz Global entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Herc Holdings which, among other things, sets forth other agreements that govern the aspects of the relationship as follows:
Internal Reorganization and Related Financing Transactions - Provides for the transfers of entities and assets and the assumption of liabilities necessary to complete the Spin-Off, including the series of internal reorganization transactions such that Hertz Global holds the entities associated with Old Hertz Holdings’ global vehicle rental business, including Hertz, and Herc Holdings holds the entities associated with Old Hertz Holdings’ global equipment rental business, including Herc Rentals Inc. (“Herc”, formerly known as Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or “HERC”).
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Herc made certain cash transfers in the total amount of approximately $2.0 billion to Hertz Global and its subsidiaries in June 2016. To fund, among other things, such transfers, in connection with, and prior to, the Spin-Off, Herc issued senior secured second priority notes and entered into a new asset-based revolving credit agreement. Hertz Global and Hertz used the cash proceeds from these transfers to pay off the Senior Term Facility.
Legal Matters and Claims; Sharing of Certain Liabilities - Subject to any specified exceptions, each party to the Separation Agreement has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its own business, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and has indemnified the other party for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters.
The Separation Agreement provides for certain liabilities to be shared by the parties. Hertz Global and Herc Holdings are each responsible for a portion of these shared liabilities. The division of these shared liabilities are set forth in the Separation Agreement. Hertz Global is responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of such shared liabilities.
Other Matters - In addition to those matters discussed above, the Separation Agreement, among other things, (i) governs the transfer of assets and liabilities generally, (ii) terminates all intercompany arrangements between Hertz Global and Herc Holdings except for specified agreements and arrangements that follow the Spin-Off, (iii) contains further assurances, terms and conditions that require Hertz Global and Herc Holdings to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and the ancillary agreements, (iv) releases certain claims between the parties and their affiliates, successors and assigns, (v) contains mutual indemnification clauses and (vi) allocates expenses of the Spin-Off between the parties.
Transition Services Agreement
Hertz Global entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Hertz Global or its affiliates, including Hertz, will provide Herc Holdings specified services on a transitional basis for a term of up to two years following the Spin-Off, though Hertz Global may request certain transition services to be performed by Herc Holdings. The services to be provided by Hertz Global primarily include information technology and network and telecommunications systems support, human resources, payroll and benefits, accounting and finance, treasury, tax matters and administrative services. With certain exceptions, Hertz Global and Herc Holdings have agreed
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
to charge for the services rendered the allocated costs associated with rendering these services, including a mark-up for certain services, which the Company will record as a reduction to the associated expenses.
Tax Matters Agreement
Hertz Global and Hertz entered into a tax matters agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) with Herc Holdings and Herc that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns.
Under the Tax Matters Agreement, Herc Holdings, Herc, Hertz Global and Hertz are responsible for their respective tax liabilities. The agreement provides for no compensation due to any change in a tax attribute, such as a net operating loss ("NOL"). Tax attributes are allocated between the entities based on the applicable federal or state income tax law and regulations. The Tax Matters Agreement also requires that an unqualified opinion from a nationally recognized law firm, supplemental ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or waiver from the other party be obtained upon the occurrence or contemplated occurrence of certain events which could impact the taxability of the transaction under the U.S. federal income tax law. The Spin-Off was a reverse spin-off, as such, Herc Holdings is the successor entity to Old Hertz Holdings and Herc is the successor entity to Hertz. Herc Holdings will file a tax return for the full year of 2016 which will include activity of Old Hertz Holdings for the first half of 2016 and Herc will file a tax return for the full year of 2016 which will include activity of Hertz for the first half of 2016. In addition, Hertz and Hertz Global will each file their own 2016 tax return that includes only their continuing operations activity for the second half of 2016.
Employee Matters Agreement
Hertz Global and Herc Holdings entered into an employee matters agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”) to allocate liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation, benefit plans and programs and other related matters. The Employee Matters Agreement governs Hertz Global's and Herc Holdings’ obligations with respect to such matters for current and former employees of the vehicle rental business and the equipment rental business.
Intellectual Property Agreement
Hertz Global and Herc Holdings entered into an intellectual property agreement (the “Intellectual Property Agreement”) that provides for ownership, licensing and other arrangements regarding the trademarks and related intellectual property that Hertz Global and Herc Holdings use in conducting their respective businesses. The agreement provides that, following the Spin-Off, Herc Holdings will continue to have the right to use certain intellectual property associated with the Hertz brand for a period of four years on a royalty free basis.

Equity Investment
In April 2016, the Company paid $45 million for investments in entities which are accounted for under the equity method. These investments are presented within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Hertz Franchises
In February 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of certain Hertz-branded franchises, including existing vehicles and contract and concession rights, for $87 million. The franchises acquired include on airport locations in Indianapolis, South Bend and Fort Wayne, Indiana and in Memphis, Tennessee, as well as several smaller off airport locations. The acquisition was part of a strategic decision at the time to increase the number of Hertz-owned locations and capitalize on certain benefits of ownership not available under a franchise agreement.
The acquisition was accounted for utilizing the acquisition method of accounting where the purchase price of the reacquired franchises was allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price was allocated as follows:

CAR Inc. Investment
In 2014, the Company converted its CAR Inc. debt securities into common stock of CAR Inc. In September 2014, CAR Inc. launched its initial public offering ("IPO") on the Hong Kong stock exchange and in conjunction with the IPO, the Company purchased additional equity shares. As a result of the IPO and its additional investment, the Company owned approximately 16% of CAR Inc. and accounted for this investment under the equity method based on its ability to exercise significant influence over CAR Inc. as determined based on a variety of factors, including the Company's representation on the Board of Directors of CAR Inc. with voting rights.
During the second half of 2015, the Company sold approximately 138 million shares of CAR Inc. common stock for net proceeds of $236 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $133 million.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company sold approximately 204 million shares of CAR Inc. common stock and extended its commercial agreement with CAR Inc. to 2023, in exchange for $240 million, of which $233 million was allocated to the sale of shares based on the fair value of those shares, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $75 million. Additionally, $7 million of the proceeds were allocated to the extension of the commercial agreement which have been deferred and are being recognized over the remaining term of the commercial agreement. The sale of the shares reduced the Company's ownership interest in CAR Inc. to 1.7% and eliminated the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over CAR Inc. As a result, the Company discontinued the equity method of accounting for this investment and classifies the investment as an available for sale security.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company sold approximately 32 million shares of CAR Inc. common stock for net proceeds of $34 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $9 million. See Note 15, "Fair Value Measurements," for the fair value of the Company's available for sale securities at December 31, 2016.
This investment is recorded in the Company's corporate operations and the Company presents this investment within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Any gain on the sale of shares is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Brazil Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company, along with certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") to sell Car Rental Systems do Brasil Locacao de Veiculos Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company located in Brazil ("Brazil Operations"), to Localiza Fleet S.A. (“Localiza”), a corporation headquartered in Brazil. As part of the overall agreement, the Company intends to enter into certain ancillary agreements with Localiza, including co-branding in Brazil and use of the Localiza brand in other select markets, customer referrals and the exchange of technology and information, at the closing date of the Purchase Agreement and upon receiving clearance from the regulatory authority in Brazil. The proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $105 million, which is subject to change in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Approximately $12 million of the proceeds will be placed into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2017. The Brazil Operations are included in the Company's International Rental Car segment.
As a result of the pending sale, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities being sold were written down to fair value less costs to sell, which resulted in an impairment charge of $18 million based upon the estimated agreed-upon sales price and related transaction costs, which is included in other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Brazil operations are classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016.

Goodwill
At October 1, 2016, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis using the income approach, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy, and determined that an impairment existed related to the International Rental Car segment and recorded a charge of $172 million. The impairment was largely due to declines in revenue and profitability projections associated with the vehicle rental operations in Europe, coupled with an increased weighted average cost of capital. In 2015, the Company's annual goodwill impairment analysis determined that no impairment existed.

Other Intangible Assets
At October 1, 2016, the Company performed its annual impairment analysis of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief from royalty method, a measurement using level 3 inputs under the GAAP fair value hierarchy, and concluded that there was an impairment of the Dollar Thrifty tradename in the U.S. Rental Car segment and recorded a charge of $120 million. The impairment was largely due to a decrease in long-term revenue projections, along with an increased weighted average cost of capital.
Other intangible assets, net, consisted of the following major classes:

In 2015, the Company's annual impairment analysis of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief from royalty method determined that no impairment existed. Subsequent to conducting the annual test, the Company determined that an international tradename associated with the Company's former equipment rental business was impaired and recorded a charge of $40 million. The impairment was largely due to decisions made by management in the fourth quarter of 2015 regarding the business transition plan associated with the former equipment rental business in connection with the Spin-off and the inability of future use of its related international tradename in Canada.

Additionally, the Company determined that the international tradename’s adjusted fair value of $4 million should be amortized over its remaining life through the planned date of the Spin-off, and reclassified it to a finite-lived intangible asset.

(5) | In the case of the HFLF Medium Term Notes, such notes are repayable from cash flows derived from third-party leases comprising the underlying HFLF collateral pool. The initial maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the end of the revolving period for such series, at which time the related notes begin to amortize monthly by an amount equal to the lease collections payable to that series. To the extent the revolving period already has ended, the initial maturity date reflected is January 2017. The second maturity date referenced for each series of HFLF Medium Term Notes represents the date by which Hertz and the investors in the related series expect such series of notes to be repaid in full, which is based upon various assumptions made at the time of pricing of such notes, including the contractual amortization of the underlying leases as well as the assumed rate of prepayments of such leases. Such maturity reference is to the “expected final maturity date” as opposed to the subsequent “legal final maturity date”. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable. Although the underlying lease cash flows that support the repayment of the HFLF Medium Term Notes may vary, the cash flows generally are expected to approximate a straight line amortization of the related notes from the initial maturity date through the expected final maturity date. |

Non-Vehicle Debt
Senior Credit Facilities
In June 2016, in connection with the Spin-Off, the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility were repaid in full and terminated.
Senior Facilities
Also in connection with the Spin-Off, Hertz entered into a credit agreement with respect to a new senior secured term facility (the “Senior Term Loan”) with a $700 million initial principal balance and a $1.7 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior RCF” and, together with the Senior Term Loan, the “Senior Facilities”) with a portion of the Senior RCF available for the issuance of letters of credit and the issuance of swing line loans.
The interest rate applicable to the Senior Term Loan is based on a floating rate (subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) that varies depending on Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio. The interest rates applicable to the Senior RCF are based on a floating rate that varies depending on Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio and corporate ratings.
In February 2017, certain terms of the credit agreement governing Senior Facilities were amended with the consent of the required lenders under the Senior RCF and such credit agreement. The amendment, among other things, (i) amends the terms of the financial maintenance covenant for the Senior RCF to test, when applicable, Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio in lieu of Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio, (ii) provides that Hertz shall not make dividends and certain restricted payments until a leverage ratio test is satisfied, (iii) adds a new covenant restricting the incurrence of certain corporate indebtedness, (iv) caps the amount of unrestricted cash that may be netted for purposes of calculating the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio at $500 million unless a specified consolidated total gross corporate leverage ratio is met for a specified period (as further described later in this footnote under "Covenant Compliance") and (v) amends certain financial definitions relating to the foregoing.
Senior Notes
In July 2016, Hertz redeemed all $700 million of its 7.50% Senior Notes due 2018.
In September 2016, Hertz issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2024. The proceeds of this issuance, together with available cash, were used in October 2016 to redeem $800 million of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019.
Hertz's obligations under the indentures for the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Senior Facilities. The guarantees of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors may be released to the extent such subsidiaries no longer guarantee the Company's Senior Facilities in the U.S.
Vehicle Debt
The governing documents of certain of the vehicle debt financing arrangements specified below contain covenants that, among other things, significantly limit or restrict (or upon certain circumstances may significantly restrict or prohibit) the ability of the borrowers/issuers, and the guarantors if applicable, to make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock, making other distributions, loans or advances) to Hertz Holdings and Hertz, whether directly or indirectly. To the extent applicable, aggregate maximum borrowings are subject to borrowing base availability. There is subordination within certain series of vehicle debt based on class. Proceeds from the issuance of vehicle debt is typically used to acquire or refinance vehicles or to repay portions of outstanding principal amounts of vehicle debt with an earlier maturity.

The Company is highly leveraged and a substantial portion of its liquidity needs arise from debt service on its indebtedness and from the funding of its costs of operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, to mitigate any adverse impact on its operations resulting from adverse financial market conditions. At December 31,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2016 there was approximately $3.4 billion of vehicle debt maturing in 2017. Prior to the February 2017 amendments, the Senior RCF contained a financial maintenance covenant that tested Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio, as defined in the pre-amended Senior RCF Credit Agreement, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing September 30, 2016. With the maximum ratio under such consolidated net corporate leverage ratio test decreasing from a maximum of 5.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2016 to 4.75 to 1.00 for the quarters ending December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, in February 2017, Hertz amended the Senior RCF and certain vehicle debt agreements to replace the consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio test with a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test and extend the maturities of certain vehicle debt. Such amendments and extensions reduced the risk of a financial maintenance covenant default under the Senior RCF in the future. The following table reflects the nominal amounts of maturities of debt for each of the years ending December 31, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the February 2017 amendments:

(a) Approximately $156 million of the vehicle debt maturing in 2017 is comprised of capitalized leases financed under the U.K. Leveraged Financing
that matures in January 2019.
Subsequent to the February 2017 amendments, approximately $809 million of vehicle debt will mature in 2017. The Company has reviewed the vehicle debt that will mature in 2017 and determined that it is probable that the Company will be able, and has the intent, to refinance these maturities. If the Company were not able to refinance these maturities, it has available liquidity sufficient to repay them at the maturity date. Information regarding the financial maintenance covenants under the Senior RCF, as amended, is disclosed in the "Covenant Compliance" section that follows herein.
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow-based revolving credit facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. The Company's ability to borrow under each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility and asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.
The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility or asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time). With respect to the Senior RCF, "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" is the same as "Remaining Capacity" since borrowings under the Senior RCF are not subject to a borrowing base.

Letters of Credit
As of December 31, 2016, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $582 million. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to support the Company's vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds and its insurance programs as well as to provide credit enhancement for its asset-backed securitization facilities. Of this amount, $570 million was issued under the Senior RCF, which has a $1.0 billion letter of credit sublimit, resulting in $430 million of availability under such sublimit. As of December 31, 2016, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.
Special Purpose Entities
Substantially all of the revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance LLC, DNRS II LLC, HFLF, Donlen Trust and various international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors.
These special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, its International Vehicle Financing No. 1 B.V., International Vehicle Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets of $454 million and $418 million, respectively, primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning vehicles, and total liabilities of $454 million and $418 million, respectively, primarily comprised of debt.
Covenant Compliance
Hertz and its subsidiaries are referred to as the Hertz credit group. The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.
Certain of the Company's other debt instruments and credit facilities (including the Senior Facilities) contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, share repurchases or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates. The Senior RCF contains a financial maintenance covenant that is only applicable to the Senior RCF. This financial covenant and related components of its computation are defined in the credit agreement related to the Senior RCF.
The credit agreement governing our Senior Facilities requires us upon a change of control, as defined therein, to make an offer to repay in full all amounts outstanding thereunder upon such a change of control. Our failure to make such an offer would result in an event of default thereunder. In addition, the indentures governing our Senior Notes require us upon a change of control, as defined therein, to make an offer to repurchase all of such outstanding Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest. If we failed to repurchase the Senior Notes, we would be in default under the related indenture. Certain of our other indebtedness also could result in defaults and/or amortization events upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, as defined therein.
As disclosed above, in February 2017, Hertz amended the terms of the financial maintenance covenant for the Senior RCF to test, when applicable, Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. Prior to such amendment, the financial maintenance covenant that had been in effect since June 30, 2016 tested Hertz’s consolidated total net corporate leverage ratio, as previously defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement. The amended financial covenant provides that Hertz’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as defined in the Senior RCF Credit Agreement, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (the "Covenant Leverage Ratio"), commencing with December 31, 2016, may not exceed the ratios indicated below:
|
| | | | |
Fiscal Quarter(s) Ending | | Maximum Ratio |
December 31, 2016 | | 3.00 | to | 1.00 |
March 31, 2017 | | 3.25 | to | 1.00 |
June 30, 2017 | | 3.25 | to | 1.00 |

December 31, 2017 and each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 ending thereafter | | 3.00 | to | 1.00 |
Cash Restrictions
Certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Vehicle Debt facilities and the LKE Program. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with the Vehicle Debt facilities was $235 million and $289 million, respectively. Restricted cash balances fluctuate based on the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles and could also be impacted by the occurrence of an amortization event.
Accrued Interest
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, accrued interest was $76 million and $82 million, respectively, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in “Accrued liabilities.”

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Restricted Net Assets
As a result of the contractual restrictions on Hertz's or its subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends (directly or indirectly) under various terms of its debt, as of December 31, 2016, the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of Hertz and Hertz Global exceed 25% of their total consolidated net assets, respectively.
Note 8—Employee Retirement Benefits
The Company sponsors multiple domestic and international employee benefit plans. Benefits are based upon years of service and compensation.
The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Hertz Retirement Plan”) is a U.S. cash balance plan. The Hertz Retirement Plan was amended in 2014 to permanently discontinue future benefit accruals and participation under the plan for non-union employees. Some of the Company’s international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans or participate in various insured or multiemployer plans. In certain countries, when the subsidiaries make the required funding payments, they have no further obligations under such plans. The Company's benefit plans are generally funded, except for certain nonqualified U.S. defined benefit plans and in Germany and France, where unfunded liabilities are recorded. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans for certain eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees, where contributions are matched based on specific guidelines in the plans.
The Company also sponsors postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990.
Employee Matters Agreement
As described in Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," Hertz Global and Herc Holdings entered into the “Employee Matters Agreement” to allocate liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation, benefit plans and programs and other related matters in connection with the Spin-Off. The Employee Matters Agreement governs the Company's and Herc Holdings’ obligations with respect to such matters for current and former employees of the vehicle rental business and the equipment rental business. The Employee Matters Agreement specifies the method by which the pension plans are split in connection with the Spin-Off. Pension liabilities and an associated asset allocation related to employees of the equipment rental business will be transferred to a new plan.
On June 30, 2016, in connection with the Spin-Off and transfer of assets and liabilities from combined U.S. pension and other post-retirement benefit plans to newly created Herc Holdings' plans, the Company remeasured pension and other post-retirement liabilities and assets for several of its U.S. plans. The remeasurement resulted in an increase to the Company's continuing operations net pension liability of $23 million compared to the net pension liability as of December 31, 2015. The significant weighted-average assumptions used at the June 30, 2016 measurement date were as follows.

N/A - Not applicable
The discount rate used to determine the December 31, 2016 benefit obligations for U.S. pension plans is based on the rate from the Mercer Pension Discount Curve-Above Mean Yield that is appropriate for the duration of the Company's plan liabilities. For its plans outside the U.S., the discount rate reflects the market rates for an optimized subset of high-quality corporate bonds currently available. The discount rate in a country was determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in that country. The rate selected from the yield curve has a duration that matches its plan.
The expected return on plan assets for each funded plan is based on expected future investment returns considering the target investment mix of plan assets.

The net of tax loss in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” at December 31, 2016 and 2015 relating to pension benefits of the Hertz Retirement Plan was $110 million and $102 million, respectively. Changing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point is not expected to have a material impact on the total of service and interest cost components or on the postretirement benefit obligation.
The provisions charged to net income (loss) from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 for all other pension plans were approximately $9 million, $10 million and $9 million, respectively.
Net pension and postretirement expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes a settlement loss of approximately $5 million relating to lump-sum distributions to participants primarily due to restructuring actions taken during the year.
The provisions charged to net income (loss) from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 for the defined contribution plans were approximately $23 million, $25 million and $14 million, respectively.

Plan Assets
The Company has a long-term investment outlook for the assets held in the Company sponsored plans, which is consistent with the long-term nature of each plan's respective liabilities. The Company has two major plans which reside in the U.S. and the U.K.
The U.S. Plan (the “Plan”) currently has a target asset allocation of 65% equity and 35% fixed income. The equity portion of the Plan is invested in one passively managed S&P 500 index fund, one passively managed U.S. small/midcap fund, one actively managed international fund and one actively managed emerging markets fund. The fixed income portion of the Plan is actively managed by professional investment managers and is benchmarked to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Long Government/Credit index. The Plan assumes a 7.0% rate of return on assets expected long-term annual weighted-average for the Plan in total.
The U.K. Plan has a target allocation of 37.5% actively managed multi-asset funds, 27.5% passive equity funds and 35% passive bond funds. The actively managed multi-asset funds are intended to deliver a long-term equity-like return but with reduced levels of volatility. The target allocation for the passive bonds is 70% in index-linked government bonds and 30% in corporate bonds. The target allocation for the equity funds are that 45% are held in U.K. Equities and the remainder diversified across global markets. All of the invested assets of the U.K. Plan are held via pooled funds managed by professional investment managers. The U.K. Plan assumes a 5.2% rate of return on assets expected long-term weighted-average for the Plan in total.
The fair value measurements of the Company's U.S. pension plan assets are based upon inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable (Level 1) and significant observable inputs (Level 2) that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. The fair value measurements of the U.S. pension plan assets relate to common collective trusts and other pooled investment vehicles consisting of the following asset categories:

Contributions
The Company's policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time, the Company makes contributions beyond those legally required. In 2016 and 2015, the Company did not make any cash contributions to its U.S. qualified pension plan.
In 2016, the Company made contributions to its U.S. non-qualified pension plans of $6 million. In 2015, the Company made contributions to its U.S. non-qualified pension plans of $22 million. The Company made a $3 million discretionary contribution to its United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan (the "U.K. Plan") during each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The Company does not anticipate contributing to the U.S. qualified pension plan during 2017. For the international plans the Company anticipates contributing $3 million during 2017. The level of 2017 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements that cover certain of its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in such plans are different from the risks of single-employer plans, in the following respects:
| |
a) | Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. |
| |
b) | If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. |
| |
c) | If the Company ceases to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which the Company had been a contributing employer, the Company may be required to pay to the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan and on the history of its participation in the plan prior to the cessation of its obligation to contribute. The amount that an employer that has ceased to have an obligation to contribute to a multiemployer plan is required to pay to the plan is referred to as a withdrawal liability. |
The Company's participation in multiemployer plans for the annual period ended December 31, 2016 is outlined in the table below. For plans that are not individually significant to the Company, the total amount of contributions is presented in the aggregate.

Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation
The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Holdings stock-based compensation plans is pushed down from Hertz Global and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.
Plans
Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and the Company's sole stockholder approved, the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan contains 6,600,000 shares which can be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan, plus an unspecified number of shares awarded in connection with distribution awards granted under the Omnibus Plan in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, in substitution of, or in accordance with, an outstanding award granted under an Old Hertz Holdings plan that was held by a participant immediately before the completion of the Spin-Off, as described in the next paragraph. The terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan are substantially similar to the former Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan that was in place prior to the Spin-Off. The Omnibus Plan provides for grants of both equity and cash awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation

rights, performance awards (shares and units), restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units to key executives, employees and non-management directors.
In accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement entered into between the Hertz Global and Herc Holdings, as further described in Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," previously outstanding stock-based compensation awards granted under Old Hertz Holdings' equity compensation programs prior to the Spin-Off and held by certain executives and employees of Old Hertz Holdings were adjusted to reflect the impact of the Spin-Off on these awards. To preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of these stock-based compensation awards, as measured immediately before and immediately after the Spin-Off, each holder of Old Hertz Holdings stock-based compensation awards received an adjusted award consisting of a stock-based compensation award denominated in the equity of the company at which the person was employed following the Spin-Off. In the Spin-Off, the determination as to which type of adjustment applied to a holder’s previously outstanding Old Hertz Holdings award was based upon the type of stock-based compensation award that was to be adjusted and the date on which the award was originally granted under the Old Hertz Holdings equity compensation programs prior to the Spin-Off. At the Spin-Off, a total of 2,677,723 shares were awarded in connection with distribution awards granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement.
As of December 31, 2016, there were 2,497,439 shares of Hertz Holdings common stock underlying awards outstanding under the Omnibus Plan.
In addition to the 2,497,439 shares underlying outstanding awards as of December 31, 2016, Hertz Holdings had 8,739,629 shares of its common stock available for issuance of which 6,710,697 shares are available under the Omnibus Plan. The shares of common stock to be delivered under the Omnibus Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of common stock held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares of common stock, not reserved for any other purpose.
Shares subject to any award (other than distribution awards) granted under the Omnibus Plan that for any reason are canceled, terminated, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise settled without the issuance of common stock after the effective date of the Omnibus Plan will generally be available for future grants under the Omnibus Plan.
A summary of the total compensation expense and associated income tax benefits recognized under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan, including the cost of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units ("PSUs"), is as follows:

As of December 31, 2016, there was approximately $23 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted by Hertz Global under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan. The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.7 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
All stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Omnibus Plan will have a per-share exercise price of not less than the fair market value of one share of Hertz Global common stock on the grant date. Stock options and stock appreciation rights will vest based on a minimum period of service or the occurrence of events (such as a change in control, as defined in the Omnibus Plan) specified by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. No stock options or stock appreciation rights will be exercisable after a maximum of ten years from the grant date.

Many of the Company's concession agreements and real estate leases require the Company to pay or reimburse operating expenses, such as common area charges and real estate taxes, to pay concession fees above guaranteed minimums or additional rent based on a percentage of revenues or sales (as defined in those agreements) arising at the relevant premises, or both. Such obligations are not reflected in the table of minimum future obligations appearing immediately above. The Company operates from various leased premises under operating leases with terms up to 30 years. A number of its operating leases contain renewal options. These renewal options vary, but the majority include clauses for renewal for various term lengths at various rates, both fixed and market.
In addition to the rents mentioned above, the Company has various leases on revenue earning vehicles and office, computer and other equipment under which the following amounts were expensed:

As of December 31, 2016, deferred tax assets of $1,324 million were recorded for unutilized U.S. Federal Net Operating Losses (“NOL") carry forwards of $3,782 million. The total Federal NOL carry forwards are $3,914 million of which $132 million relate to excess tax deductions associated with stock compensation plans, which have yet to reduce taxes payable. Upon adoption in January 2017 of recently issued accounting pronouncement Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting", (as described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies"), the Company will recognize as of the adoption date deferred tax assets of $46 million for excess

tax benefits that were not previously recognized as the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable, and the Company will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Federal NOLs begin to expire in 2029. State NOLs, exclusive of the effects of the excess tax deductions, have generated a deferred tax asset of $190 million. As of December 31, 2016, a valuation allowance of $56 million was recorded against these deferred tax assets because they relate to separate states that have historical losses where it is more likely than not that the NOL carry forwards may not be utilized in the future. The state NOLs expire over various years beginning in 2017 depending upon when they were generated and the particular jurisdiction.
As of December 31, 2015, deferred tax assets of $1,347 million were recorded for unutilized U.S. Federal Net Operating Losses (“NOL") carry forwards of $3,850 million. The total Federal NOL carry forwards are $3,981 million of which $132 million relate to excess tax deductions associated with stock compensation plans, which have yet to reduce taxes payable. The Federal NOLs begin to expire in 2029. State NOLs, exclusive of the effects of the excess tax deductions, have generated a deferred tax asset of $173 million. As of December 31, 2015, a valuation allowance of $22 million was recorded against these deferred tax assets because they relate to separate states that have historical losses where it is more likely than not that the NOL carry forwards may not be utilized in the future. The state NOLs expire over various years beginning in 2016 depending upon when they were generated and the particular jurisdiction.
As of December 31, 2016, deferred tax assets of $155 million were recorded for foreign NOL carry forwards of $736 million. A valuation allowance of $108 million at December 31, 2016 was recorded against these deferred tax assets because those assets relate to jurisdictions that have historical losses and it is more likely than not that a portion of the NOL carry forwards may not be utilized in the future. Additionally, a valuation allowance of $47 million was recorded against other deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions.
As of December 31, 2015, deferred tax assets of $131 million were recorded for foreign NOL carry forwards of $536 million. A valuation allowance of $78 million at December 31, 2015 was recorded against these deferred tax assets because those assets relate to jurisdictions that have historical losses and it is more likely than not that a portion of the NOL carry forwards may not be utilized in the future. Additionally, a valuation allowance of $48 million was recorded against other deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions.
As of December 31, 2016 a valuation allowance of $2 million was recorded on U.S. Federal Net Capital Losses. There was no valuation allowance recorded on U.S. Federal Net Capital Losses as of December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2016, foreign NOL carry forwards of $736 million include $679 million which have an indefinite carry forward period and associated deferred tax assets of $139 million. The remaining foreign NOLs of $57 million are subject to expiration beginning in 2024 and have associated deferred tax assets of $16 million.
As of December 31, 2015, foreign NOL carry forwards of $536 million include $479 million which have an indefinite carry forward period and associated deferred tax assets of $115 million. The remaining foreign NOLs of $57 million are subject to expiration beginning in 2016 and have associated deferred tax assets of $16 million.
In determining valuation allowances, an assessment of positive and negative evidence was performed regarding realization of the net deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This assessment included the evaluation of cumulative earnings and losses in recent years, scheduled reversals of net deferred tax liabilities, the availability of carry forwards and the remaining period of the respective carry forward, future taxable income and any applicable tax-planning strategies that are available.
Based on the assessment as of December 31, 2016, total valuation allowances of $230 million were recorded against deferred tax assets. Although realization is not assured, Hertz Global has concluded that it is more likely than not the remaining deferred tax assets of $1,813 million will be realized and as such, no valuation allowance has been provided on these assets.
At December 31, 2015, Hertz Global released valuation allowances on losses in Spain and Italy in the amounts $28 million and $5 million, respectively. This was based on an evaluation of cumulative earnings and positive projections of income that are available to utilize such losses. Based on the assessment, as of December 31, 2015, total valuation allowances of $148 million were recorded against deferred tax assets. Although realization is not assured, Hertz Global

has concluded that it is more likely than not the remaining deferred tax assets of $1,864 million will be realized and as such no valuation allowance has been provided on these assets.
As of December 31, 2016, deferred tax assets of $54 million were recorded for U.S. federal alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits and various state tax credits. Based on the assessment, as of December 31, 2016, total valuation allowances of $10 million were recorded against deferred tax assets relating to these credits. The state tax credits expire over various years beginning in 2018 depending upon when they were generated and the particular jurisdiction. The carryover period for the AMT credits is indefinite.
As of December 31, 2015, deferred tax assets of $40 million were recorded for U.S. federal alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits and various state tax credits. The state tax credits expire over various years beginning in 2018 depending upon when they were generated and the particular jurisdiction. The carryover period for the AMT credits is indefinite.

Effective Tax Rate | (1 | )% | | 13 | % | | 7 | % |
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was (1)% as compared to 13% for the year ended December 31, 2015, with an income tax provision of $4 million and $17 million, respectively. The $13 million decrease in the tax provision is due to a decrease in pretax operating results, the composition of operating results by jurisdiction, an increase in the valuation allowance relating to losses in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions, as well as changes in statutory effective tax rates. The year ended December 31, 2016 also includes a non-deductible impairment of goodwill on Europe vehicle rental operations.
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 13% as compared to 7% in the year ended December 31, 2014. The provision for taxes on income increased $34 million, primarily due to an increase in pretax operating results, the composition of operating results by jurisdiction, a decrease in the valuation allowance relating to losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, U.S. income inclusion on the sale of CAR Inc. common stock, and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits accrued during the year. The year ended December 31, 2015 also includes an income tax benefit of net realized losses on sale of operations in France resulting from the excess book gain over tax gain recognized.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company's foreign subsidiaries have $841 million and $595 million, respectively of undistributed earnings which could be subject to taxation if repatriated. Due to the Company's legal structure, the foreign earnings subject to taxation upon distribution could be less. Deferred tax liabilities, to the extent they exist,
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
have not been recorded for such earnings because it is management’s current intention to permanently reinvest such undistributed earnings offshore. Due to the uncertainty caused by the various methods in which such earnings could be repatriated, and because of the potential availability of U.S. foreign tax credits (“FTCs”) it is not practicable to determine the U.S. federal income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely. However, if such earnings were repatriated and subject to taxation at the maximum current U.S. federal tax rate, the tax liability would be approximately $304 million, which includes the net impact of foreign withholding taxes, but excludes the impact of potential FTCs and other possible alternatives that could reduce the tax liability. The Company would consider and pursue appropriate alternatives to reduce the tax liability if, in the future, undistributed earnings are repatriated to the United States, or it is determined such earnings will be repatriated in the foreseeable future.
As a result of the divestment of a substantial portion of the Company's interest in CAR Inc. and the spin-off transaction, excess cash generated was used to repatriate previously taxed income to the U.S. There was no material tax cost associated with the cash repatriation. The Company is permanently reinvested on the remaining undistributed earnings offshore.
As of December 31, 2016, total unrecognized tax benefits were $45 million, of which $9 million, if settled, would negatively impact the effective tax rate in future periods because of correlative adjustments associated with these liabilities. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files one or more income tax returns in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years for these jurisdictions span from 2003 to 2015. The Internal Revenue Service completed their audit of the Company's 2007 to 2009 and surveyed 2010 and 2011 tax returns and had no changes to the previously filed tax returns. Currently, the Company's 2014 tax year is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Several U.S. state and other non-U.S. jurisdictions are under audit. With regard to these audits, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change as the result of the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of the statute of limitations or other unforeseen circumstances. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be made. It is reasonable that approximately $2 million of unrecognized tax benefits may reverse within the next twelve months due to settlement with the relevant non-U.S. taxing authorities.
Net, after-tax interest and penalties related to the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of “Income tax (provision) benefit” in the consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, approximately $1 million, $4 million and $1 million, respectively, in net, after-tax interest and penalties were recognized. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately $8 million and $6 million, respectively, of net, after-tax interest and penalties were accrued in the Company's consolidated balance sheet within "Accrued taxes."
Note 14—Financial Instruments
The Company employs established risk management policies and procedures, which seek to reduce the Company’s commercial risk exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. However, there can be no assurance that these policies and procedures will be successful. Although the instruments utilized involve varying degrees of credit, market and interest risk, the counterparties to the agreements are expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk, including lenders, on a regular basis, but cannot be certain that all risks will be discerned or that its risk management policies and procedures will

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
always be effective. Additionally, in the event of default under the Company’s master derivative agreements, the non-defaulting party generally has the option to set-off any amounts owed with regard to open derivative positions.
The Company has the following risk exposures that it has historically used financial instruments to manage. None of the instruments have been designated in a hedging relationship as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on operating results and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company uses interest rate caps and other instruments to manage the mix of floating and fixed-rate debt.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company’s objective in managing exposure to currency fluctuations is to limit the exposure of certain cash flows and operating results from changes associated with currency exchange rate changes through the use of various derivative contracts. The Company experiences currency risks in its global operations as a result of various factors including intercompany local currency denominated loans, rental operations in various currencies and purchasing vehicles in various currencies.

Note 15—Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the "exit price"). Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including consideration of nonperformance risk.
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy promulgated under U.S. GAAP. This hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly,
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date and include management's judgment about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Under U.S. GAAP, entities are allowed to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its assets or liabilities that meet the criteria for this option. Irrespective of the fair value option previously described, U.S. GAAP requires certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company to be measured on either a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis as shown in the sections that follow.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company's assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment includes an assessment using various Level 2 inputs (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiples and discount rate) and Level 3 inputs (forecasted cash flows). See Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies — Recoverability of Goodwill and Intangible Assets," for more information on the application of the use of fair value methodology.
Cash Equivalents and Investments
The Company’s cash equivalents primarily consist of money market accounts. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets.
Investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of various mutual funds and available for sale securities. The valuation of these securities is based on Level 1 inputs whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
The following table summarizes the ending balances of the Company's cash equivalents and investments.

Note 17—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
Legal Proceedings
Public Liability and Property Damage
The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company's liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $407 million and $394 million, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that the Company may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.
Other Matters
From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings. The Company has summarized below, the most significant legal proceedings to which the Company was and/or is a party to during 2016 or the period after December 31, 2016 but before the filing of this 2016 Annual Report.
Concession Fee Recoveries - In October 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company (“Enterprise”) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Enterprise became a defendant in a separate action which they have now settled.) The Sobel case is a consumer class action on behalf of all persons who rented vehicles from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges during the class period. In October 2014, the court entered final judgment against the Company and directed Hertz to pay the class approximately $42 million in restitution and $11 million in prejudgment interest, and to pay attorney's fees of $3 million with an additional $3 million to be paid to class counsel from the restitution fund. In November 2014, Hertz timely filed an appeal of that final judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the plaintiffs cross appealed the court's judgment seeking to challenge the lower court's ruling that Hertz did not deceive or mislead the class members. Following briefing and oral argument, on January 5, 2017, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion reversing the District Court’s holdings on liability and remedy and vacating the judgment. The Ninth Circuit also rejected plaintiffs’ cross-appeal, finding that Hertz’s actions were not deceptive or misleading. On January 19, 2017, plaintiffs asked the entire Ninth Circuit, sitting en banc, to rehear the appeal. That petition was rejected on
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
February 15, 2017. Plaintiffs have an opportunity to petition the United States Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's decision in favor of the Company. The Company continues to believe the outcome of this case will not be material to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation - In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Old Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In June 2014, Old Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and plaintiff was granted leave to file a second amended complaint within 30 days of the order. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period such that it was not alleged to have commenced until May 18, 2013 and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, this case was assigned to a new federal judge in the District of New Jersey, and Old Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered that plaintiff could file a third amended complaint on or before August 22, 2015. On August 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint included additional allegations, named additional current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period such that it was alleged to span from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. On November 4, 2015, Old Hertz Holdings filed its motion to dismiss. Thereafter, a motion was made by plaintiff to add a new plaintiff, because of challenges to the standing of the first plaintiff. The court granted plaintiffs leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add the new plaintiff, and the new complaint was filed on March 1, 2016. Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice on March 24, 2016, and plaintiff filed its opposition to same on May 6, 2016. On June 13, 2016, Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants filed their reply briefs in support of their motions to dismiss. The matter is now fully briefed. New Hertz and Herc Holdings are each responsible for a portion of the matter and Hertz Global will be responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of the matter. Hertz Global believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and it intends to vigorously defend against the complaint, but litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of this matter is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that this matter could be decided unfavorably to Hertz Global. The Company is currently unable to estimate the range of these possible losses, but they could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Ryanair - In July 2015, Ryanair Ltd. ("Ryanair") filed a complaint against Hertz Europe Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice of the United Kingdom alleging breach of contract in connection with Hertz Europe Limited’s termination of its vehicle hire agreement with Ryanair following a contractual dispute with respect to Ryanair’s agreement to begin using third party ticket distributors. The complaint seeks damages, interest and costs, together with attorney fees. The Company believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and it intends to vigorously defend against these allegations, but litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of this matter is not predictable with assurance. The Company has established a reserve for this matter which is not material. However, it is possible that this matter could be decided unfavorably to the Company, accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
The Company intends to assert that it has meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously.

Governmental Investigations - In June 2014, the Company was advised by the staff of the New York Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that it is investigating the events disclosed in certain of the Company’s filings with the SEC. In addition, in December 2014 a state securities regulator requested information and starting in June 2016 the Company has had communications with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. The investigations and communications generally involve the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015 (the “Old Hertz Holdings 2014 10-K”) and related accounting for prior periods. The Company has and intends to continue to cooperate with all requests related to the foregoing. Due to the stage at which the proceedings are, Hertz is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material. Among other matters, the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings 2014 Form 10-K addressed a variety of accounting matters involving the Company’s Brazil vehicle rental operations.
Additionally, the Company has identified certain activities in Brazil that raise issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and may raise issues under other federal and local laws, which the Company has self-reported to appropriate government entities and the processes with these government entities continue. The Company is continuing to investigate these issues. The Company has established a reserve relating to the activities in Brazil which is not material. However, it is possible that an adverse outcome with respect to the activities in Brazil and the other issues discussed herein could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
French Antitrust - In February 2015, the French Competition Authority issued a Statement of Objections claiming that several vehicle rental companies, including the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, violated French competition law by receiving historic market information from twelve French airports relating to the vehicle rental companies operating at those airports and by engaging in a concerted practice relating to train station surcharges. In February 2017, the French Competition Authority issued a decision dismissing all such claims against the Company and its subsidiaries.
French Road Tax - The French Tax Authority has challenged the historic practice of several vehicle rental companies, including Hertz France, of registering vehicles in jurisdictions where it is established and where the road tax payable with respect to those vehicles is lower than the road tax payable in the jurisdictions where the vehicles will primarily be used. In respect of a period in 2005, the Company has unsuccessfully appealed the French Tax assessment to the highest Administrative court in France. In respect of a period from 2003 to 2005, following an adverse judgment, the Company appealed the French Tax Authority’s assessment to the Civil Court of Appeal. On March 2, 2017, the Company received an adverse judgment in the road tax appeal from the Civil Court of Appeal. In the third quarter of 2015, following an adverse decision against another industry participant involved in a similar action, the Company recorded charges with respect to this matter of approximately $23 million. In January 2016, the Company made a payment of approximately $9 million.
The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including certain of those described above, where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the accompanying consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. As described in Note 3, "Discontinued Operations", the Separation and Distribution Agreement with Herc Holdings contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of or resulting from assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.
Note 18—Related Party Transactions
Agreements with the Icahn Group
On September 15, 2014, Old Hertz Holdings entered into a definitive Nomination and Standstill Agreement (the “Nomination and Standstill Agreement”) with Mr. Carl C.

Intrieri, Samuel Merksamer and Daniel A. Ninivaggi, each of whom was appointed as a director of Hertz Global, are designees of the Icahn Group on the Hertz Global board of directors. Until the date that the Icahn Group no longer has a designee on the Hertz Global board of directors, the Icahn Group agrees to vote all of its shares of common stock of Hertz Global in favor of the election of all of Hertz Global’s director nominees at each annual or special meeting of Hertz Global.
In addition, Hertz Global, High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Partners LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP entered into a registration rights agreement, dated June 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, Hertz Global agreed to effect up to two demand registrations with respect to shares of Hertz Global common stock held by members of the Icahn Group. Hertz Global also agreed to provide, with certain exceptions, certain piggyback registration rights with respect to common stock held by members of the Icahn Group.
In the normal course of business, the Company purchases goods and services from entities controlled by Carl C. Icahn and his affiliates, including The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased approximately $6 million worth of goods and services from these related parties.
Transactions between Hertz Holdings/Old Hertz Holdings and Hertz
Hertz and Old Hertz Holdings entered into a master loan agreement in 2014. In October 2015, the board of directors of Hertz approved, and Hertz paid, a non-cash dividend to Hertz Investors, Inc. consisting of the full rights to a receivable due from Old Hertz Holdings under the Master Loan in the amount of $365 million plus accrued interest. Hertz Investors, Inc. declared and paid the same dividend to Old Hertz Holdings; thereby settling the amount receivable from Old Hertz Holdings at the time.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In November 2015, Hertz signed a new master loan agreement with Old Hertz Holdings for a facility size of $650 million with an expiration in November 2016 (the "New Master Loan"). The amount due from Old Hertz Holdings under the New Master Loan as of December 31, 2015 was $345 million, representing advances under the New Master Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest. Prior to the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, the board of directors of the Company approved, and Hertz paid, a non-cash dividend to Hertz Investors, Inc. consisting of the full rights to the receivable due from Old Hertz Holdings under the New Master Loan in the amount of $334 million plus accrued interest. Hertz Investors, Inc. declared and paid the same dividend to Old Hertz Holdings; thereby settling the amount receivable from Old Hertz Holdings.
On June 30, 2016, Hertz signed a master loan agreement with Hertz Global for a facility size of $425 million with an expiration in June 2017 (the "Master Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of December 31, 2016, there was $102 million outstanding under the Master Loan, representing advances under the New Master Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest.
At December 31, 2016 Hertz has a due to affiliate in the amount of $65 million which represents its tax related liability to Hertz Holdings.
The above amounts are included in equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hertz.
Other Relationships
In connection with its vehicle rental businesses, the Company enters into millions of rental transactions every year involving millions of customers. In order to conduct those businesses, the Company also procures goods and services from thousands of vendors. Some of those customers and vendors may be affiliated with members of the Company's Board. The Company believes that all such rental and procurement transactions involved terms no less favorable to the Company than those that it believes would have been obtained in the absence of such affiliation. It is Company management’s policy to bring to the attention of its Board any transaction with a related party, even if the transaction arises in the ordinary course of business.
In June 2016, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with Lyft, Inc. (“Lyft”) to offer vehicles under specified rental agreements to U.S. drivers on the Lyft platform, expanding upon two pilot markets where the Company and Lyft have partnered together since September 2015. Affiliates of Mr. Icahn own a non-controlling minority interest in Lyft, and one of Mr. Icahn’s representatives serves on Lyft’s board of directors.

Share Repurchase Program
In connection with the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, Hertz Holdings' board of directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes Hertz Holdings to purchase up to approximately $395 million worth of shares of its common stock (the “2016 share repurchase program”), which represents the amount remaining under the Old Hertz Holdings share repurchase programs as of the Spin-Off. The 2016 share repurchase program permits Hertz Holdings to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. It does not obligate Hertz Holdings to make any repurchases at any specific time or situation. As of December 31, 2016, Hertz Holdings has repurchased two million shares for $100 million under this program. This amount is included in treasury stock in the accompanying Hertz Global consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The timing and extent to which Hertz Holdings repurchases its shares will depend upon, among other things, market conditions, share price, liquidity targets and other factors. Share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. Since Hertz Holdings does not conduct business itself, it primarily funds repurchases of its common stock using dividends from Hertz or amounts borrowed under the master loan agreement. In February 2017, as further described in Note 7, "Debt," Hertz amended its credit

agreement governing its Senior Facilities which restricts its ability to make dividends and certain restricted payments, including payments to Hertz Holdings for share repurchases.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
As described in Note 1, "Background", on June 30, 2016, the distribution date, Old Hertz Holdings stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2016 received one share of Hertz Holdings common stock for every five shares of Old Hertz Holdings common stock held as of the record date. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 is calculated using the weighted average number of basic, dilutive and anti-dilutive common shares outstanding during the periods, as adjusted for the one-to-five distribution ratio.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

Note 21—Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company identified various misstatements relating to prior period financial statements that it corrected during that quarter. The cumulative impact of the adjustments on the results for the fourth quarter of 2016 was an increase to pre-tax loss of approximately $11 million and an increase to net loss of approximately $7 million. The adjustments primarily relate to accounts receivable reserve adjustments associated with a business in the United Kingdom and an error identified in the Company’s vacation accrual. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the items individually, and in the aggregate, and determined that the misstatements were not material to any prior quarterly or annual period and not material to the fourth quarter or annual 2016 periods.
In the third quarter of 2015, the Company identified various misstatements relating to prior period financial statements that it corrected during that quarter. The cumulative impact of the adjustments on the results for the third quarter of 2015 was a decrease to pre-tax income of approximately $18 million and a decrease to net income of approximately $13 million. The adjustments were comprised of $4 million related to the accounting for the post-acquisition sale of land that was revalued as part of the December 2005 acquisition of the Company, $4 million of additional accruals for the periods 2009 through 2014 resulting from concession audits at certain airport locations, a $4 million obligation to a jurisdiction for customer transaction fees, $3 million of additional write-offs of assets that were incorrectly capitalized and $3 million of other miscellaneous adjustments. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing the materiality of the items individually, and in the aggregate, and determined that the misstatements were not material to any prior quarterly or annual period and not material to the third quarter or annual 2015 periods.
Provided below is a summary of the quarterly operating results during 2016 and 2015. Amounts are computed independently each quarter. As a result, the sum of the quarter's amounts may not equal the total amount for the respective year.

Note 22—Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Annual Condensed Consolidating Financial Information - Hertz
The following annual condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2014, of (a) The Hertz Corporation, ("Parent”); (b) the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (c) the Parent's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes issued by the Parent ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"); (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries ("Eliminations"); and of (e) Hertz on a consolidated basis.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors. In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, Hertz has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements based on Rule 3-10 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. Management of Hertz does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to Hertz's investors; therefore, separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.
As described in Note 1, "Background" and Note 3, "Discontinued Operations", Hertz completed the Spin-Off of its equipment rental business on June 30, 2016. In connection with the Spin-Off, certain amounts that were historically recorded on the balance sheet of the Parent were distributed with the discontinued entities. These amounts primarily related to defined benefit pension plans, workers’ compensation liabilities, and income taxes. These amounts have been reclassified in the 2015 condensed consolidating financial statements to reflect the balances transferred in the Guarantor Subsidiaries' and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries' financial statements based on which discontinued entity received the distribution in the Spin-Off.
During the preparation of the condensed consolidating financial information of The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, it was determined that investments in subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 as filed in the Company's 2015 Form 10-K were improperly classified, resulting in a $453 million understatement of these assets and equity for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and an understatement of these assets and overstatement of prepaid expenses and other assets for the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The classification errors, which the Company has determined are not material to this disclosure, are eliminated upon consolidation and, therefore, have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has revised the Guarantor, Non-Guarantor, and Eliminations Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015 to correct for these errors.

NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Background and Basis of Presentation
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Global" when including its subsidiaries and "Hertz Holdings" excluding its subsidiaries) was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 and wholly owns Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), Hertz Globals' primary operating company.
On June 30, 2016, former Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (for periods on or prior to June 30, 2016, “Old Hertz Holdings” and for periods after June 30, 2016, “Herc Holdings”) completed a spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of record of Old Hertz Holdings as of the close of business on June 22, 2016, the record date for the distribution, of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. (“New Hertz”), which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. in connection with the Spin-Off, on a one-to-five basis. Hertz Global is now an independent public company and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HTZ".
Despite the fact that this was a reverse spin off and Hertz Global was spun off from Old Hertz Holdings and was the legal spinnee in the transaction, for accounting purposes, due to the relative significance of New Hertz to Old Hertz Holdings, Hertz Global is considered the spinnor or divesting entity and Herc Holdings is considered the spinnee or divested entity. As a result, New Hertz, or Hertz Global, is the “accounting successor” to Old Hertz Holdings. As such, the historical financial information of Hertz Global reflects the equipment rental business and certain parent legal entities as discontinued operations.
These condensed parent company financial statements reflect the activity of Hertz Holdings as the parent company to Hertz and have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule 1 of Regulation S-X, as the restricted net assets of Hertz exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of Hertz Holdings. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Note 2—Contingencies
In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation
In November 2013, a purported shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Old Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Old Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought an unspecified amount of monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In June 2014, Old Hertz Holdings responded to the amended complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. After a hearing in October 2014, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The dismissal was without prejudice and plaintiff was granted leave to file a second amended complaint within 30 days of the order. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period such that it was not alleged to have commenced until May 18, 2013 and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, this case was assigned to a new federal judge in the District of New Jersey, and Old Hertz Holdings responded to the second amended complaint by filing another motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2015, the court granted Old Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered that plaintiff could file a third amended complaint on or before August 22, 2015. On August 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint. The third amended complaint included additional allegations, named additional current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period such that it was alleged to span from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. On November 4, 2015, Old Hertz Holdings filed its motion to dismiss. Thereafter, a motion was made by plaintiff to add a new plaintiff, because of challenges to the standing of the first plaintiff. The court granted plaintiffs leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add the new plaintiff, and the new complaint was filed on March 1, 2016. Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice on March 24, 2016, and plaintiff filed its

opposition to same on May 6, 2016. On June 13, 2016, Old Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants filed their reply briefs in support of their motions to dismiss. The matter is now fully briefed. New Hertz and Herc Holdings are each responsible for a portion of the matter and Hertz Global will be responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of the matter. Hertz Global believes that it has valid and meritorious defenses and it intends to vigorously defend against the complaint, but litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of this matter is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that this matter could be decided unfavorably to Hertz Global. Hertz Holdings is currently unable to estimate the range of these possible losses, but they could be material to Hertz Holdings' consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Governmental Investigations
In June 2014, Hertz Holdings was advised by the staff of the New York Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that it is investigating the events disclosed in certain of Hertz Holdings’ filings with the SEC. In addition, in December 2014 a state securities regulator requested information and starting in June 2016 Hertz Holdings has had communications with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey regarding the same or similar events. The investigations and communications generally involve the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015 (the “Old Hertz Holdings 2014 10-K”) and related accounting for prior periods. Hertz Holdings has and intends to continue to cooperate with all requests related to the foregoing. Due to the stage at which the proceedings are, Hertz is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material. Among other matters, the restatements included in the Old Hertz Holdings 2014 Form 10-K addressed a variety of accounting matters involving Hertz Holdings’ Brazil vehicle rental operations.
Additionally, Hertz Holdings has identified certain activities in Brazil that raise issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and may raise issues under other federal and local laws, which Hertz Holdings has self-reported to appropriate government entities and the processes with these government entities continue. Hertz Holdings is continuing to investigate these issues. Hertz Holdings has established a reserve relating to the activities in Brazil which is not material. However, it is possible that an adverse outcome with respect to the activities in Brazil and the other issues discussed herein could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to Hertz Holdings' financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
For a discussion of the commitments and contingencies of the indirect subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see Note 11, "Lease and Concession Agreements," and Note 17, "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments," to the Notes to its consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Note 3—Dividends
In October 2015, Hertz paid a non-cash dividend to Hertz Investors, Inc. consisting of the full rights to a receivable due from Old Hertz Holdings in the amount of $365 million plus accrued interest. Hertz Investors, Inc. declared and paid the same dividend to Old Hertz Holdings; thereby settling the amount due to Hertz.
Prior to the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, Hertz paid a non-cash dividend to Hertz Investors, Inc. consisting of the full rights to the receivable due from Old Hertz Holdings under the New Master Loan in the amount of $334 million plus accrued interest. Hertz Investors, Inc. declared and paid the same dividend to Old Hertz Holdings; thereby settling the amount due to Hertz.
Note 4—Share Repurchase
In March 2014, Old Hertz Holdings announced a $1.0 billion share repurchase program (the "2014 repurchase program"). During 2015, Old Hertz Holdings repurchased 37 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $605 million under the 2014 share repurchase program.
SCHEDULE I (Continued)
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In connection with the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, Hertz Holdings' Board approved a share repurchase program that authorized Hertz Holdings to repurchase approximately $395 million worth of shares of its common stock, (the "2016 share repurchase program"), which represents the amount remaining under the Old Hertz Holdings share repurchase program as of the Spin-Off. The 2016 share repurchase program permits Hertz Holdings to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities law. It does not obligate Hertz Holdings to make any repurchases at any specific time or situation. As of December 31, 2016, Hertz Holdings has repurchased two million shares for $100 million under this program.
Since Hertz Holdings does not conduct business itself, it primarily funds repurchases of its common stock using dividends from Hertz or amounts borrowed under the master loan agreement. In February 2017, as further described in Note 7, "Debt," to the Notes to Hertz Global's consolidated financial statements included in this 2016 Annual Report under the caption Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", Hertz amended its credit agreement governing its Senior Facilities which restricts its ability to make dividends and certain restricted payments, including payments to Hertz Holdings for share repurchases.
Note 5—Transactions with Affiliates
Old Hertz Holdings and Hertz entered into a master loan agreement in 2014. In October 2015, Hertz paid a non-cash dividend to Hertz Investors, Inc. consisting of the full rights to a receivable due from Old Hertz Holdings under the Master Loan in the amount of $365 million plus accrued interest. Hertz Investors, Inc. declared and paid the same dividend to Old Hertz Holdings; thereby settling the amount due to Hertz at the time.
In November 2015, Old Hertz Holdings signed a new master loan agreement with Hertz for a facility size of $650 million with an expiration in November 2016 (the "New Master Loan"). There was $345 million due to Hertz under the New Master Loan at December 31, 2015, representing advances under the New Master Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest. Prior to the Spin-Off on June 30, 2016, Hertz paid a non-cash dividend to Hertz Investors, Inc. consisting of the full rights to the receivable due from Old Hertz Holdings under the New Master Loan in the amount of $334 million plus accrued interest. Hertz Investors, Inc. declared and paid the same dividend to Old Hertz Holdings; thereby settling the amount due to Hertz.
On June 30, 2016, Hertz Holdings signed a master loan agreement with Hertz for a facility size of $425 million with an expiration in June 2017 (the "Master Loan"). The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of December 31, 2016, there was $102 million outstanding under the Master Loan, representing advances under the New Master Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest.
At December 31, 2016 Hertz Holdings has a receivable due from affiliate in the amount of $65 million which represents Hertz's tax related liability to Hertz Holdings.
The above amounts are included in investments in subsidiaries in the accompanying parent-only balance sheets of Hertz Holdings.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2016, due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, due to the identification of additional material weaknesses and the fact that certain material weaknesses previously identified in Old Hertz Holdings' 2015 Form 10-K/A filed on March 4, 2016 continue to exist at December 31, 2016, as discussed below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Risk Assessment
We did not effectively design and maintain controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls have not been sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement to financial reporting, due in part to dispositions and other changes to the business. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:
| |
• | We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology ("IT") systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain |
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
(i) user access controls to appropriately segregate duties and adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications and data to the appropriate Company personnel, (ii) effective controls to monitor developers’ access to production and adequately capture, document and approve data changes and other IT related activities, and (iii) effective controls related to access and monitoring of critical jobs. These control deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to the consolidated financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Accordingly, management has determined these deficiencies in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.
| |
• | We did not design and maintain effective controls over system-generated reports, spreadsheets and data transfers used in the accounting for estimates related to revenue earning vehicles. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over ensuring the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports, spreadsheets and data transfers utilized in the accounting for estimates related to revenue earning vehicles and related payables and receivables. These control deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to the consolidated financial statements. |
| |
• | We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the Company failed to properly design controls over the accounting for income tax effects related to non-recurring transactions, the provision for income taxes and state deferred tax asset valuation allowances. These control deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments which were identified and corrected in the same period to the income tax provision (benefit), net loss from discontinued operations and deferred tax liabilities accounts in 2016. |
Control Activities
| |
• | We did not design and maintain effective controls over the non-fleet procurement process, which was exacerbated by the lack of training of field personnel as part of our 2013 Oracle ERP system implementation. This control deficiency contributed to the previously reported restatement of our financial statements for the years 2012 and 2013, each of the quarters of 2013 including misstatements of direct vehicle and operating expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. |
| |
• | We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain accounting estimates. Specifically, we did not design and maintain controls over the effective review of the models, assumptions, and data used in developing estimates or changes made to assumptions and data related to reserve estimates associated with allowances for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles. This control deficiency contributed to the previously reported restatement of our financial statements for the years 2012 and 2013, each of the quarters of 2013 including misstatements of direct vehicle and operating expenses, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. |
Each of the foregoing control deficiencies could result in material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered certified public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears in this 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
Remediation of Prior Material Weaknesses
Control Environment
Complement of Personnel
We have remediated the material weakness associated with the sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to properly select and apply GAAP in certain circumstances by: (i) hiring personnel with the appropriate experience, certification, education and training for all of the key positions in the financial reporting and accounting function and in some cases creating new positions, including the employment of 77 Certified Public Accountants or Chartered Accountants in the accounting organization, (ii) terminating or disciplining employees involved in the accounting and financial reporting functions in which misstatements were identified during our restatement, (iii) creating a culture of accountability in the accounting organization and enforced policies and procedures including terminating or disciplining employees for non-compliance, (iv) improving communication through regular town hall meetings and introduction of a monthly accounting newsletter and (v) training staff routinely on technical matters and soft-skills.
Accrued Unbilled Revenue
We have remediated the material weakness associated with accrued unbilled revenue by: (i) where necessary, identifying, implementing and documenting controls over appropriate accounting methodologies, data, and assumptions for certain accounts, (ii) training accounting staff to ensure there is a thorough understanding of the underlying methodologies implemented, (iii) establishing policies and procedures for the approval and implementation of new or modified accounting methodologies, (iv) hiring accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to execute the underlying accounting methodologies and (v) establishing policies and procedures for the review, approval and application of appropriate GAAP for transactions and accounting methodology changes.
Journal Entries
We have remediated the material weakness associated with the review, approval, and documentation of manual journal entries by: (i) establishing comprehensive and clear policies and procedures to govern the completion and review of journal entries and to determine whether manual journal entries recorded in our financial records are properly prepared, supported by adequate documentation, and independently reviewed and approved, (ii) delivering supplemental training to accounting staff with the objective of developing a thorough understanding of the Company’s journal entries policies and review protocols and (iii) enhancing our manual journal entry controls.
Risk Assessment
Account Reconciliations
We have remediated the material weakness associated with ineffectiveness of design over certain business processes including our period-end financial reporting process. This includes (i) the establishment of comprehensive and clear policies and procedures to govern the completion and review of account reconciliations of balance sheet and significant accounts, including independent review, (ii) the delivery of supplemental training to our accounting staff with the objective of developing a thorough understanding of our account reconciliation policies and review protocols and (iii) the design, and where appropriate enhancement of controls over the preparation, analysis and review of significant account reconciliations and closing adjustments required to assess the appropriateness of certain balances at period end.
Monitoring
We have remediated the material weakness associated with controls over monitoring by: (i) the appointment in 2016 of a new Senior Vice President and Chief Audit Executive, with global responsibilities, (ii) the continued hiring of additional resources with an appropriate level of knowledge and expertise, (iii) the supplementation of these personnel with qualified consulting resources to achieve an adequate level of staff, (iv) the reorganization of the internal audit function, (v) enhancing the Company’s risk assessment process, and (vi) the reporting of operational and financial
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
assessments to senior management and the Audit Committee. During 2016, the internal audit and Sarbanes-Oxley Project Management Office teams enhanced (i) our processes associated with the scoping and identification of processes and key controls, (ii) the documentation of these processes and (iii) our testing procedures to promote the consistency and accuracy of conclusions, deliverables and disclosures associated with our financial accounting and reporting requirements. Internal audit demonstrated independence and objectivity and the requisite knowledge and skills necessary for effective assessment of internal controls over financial reporting.
Remediation Efforts and Status of Remaining Material Weaknesses
We have taken certain remediation steps to address the material weaknesses referenced above that continue to remain as of December 31, 2016, and to improve our control over financial reporting. Management of the Company and the Board take the control and integrity of the Company’s financial statements seriously and believe that the remediation steps described below are essential to maintaining a strong internal controls environment.
We have identified and implemented, and continue to identify and implement, actions to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including plans to enhance our resources and training with respect to financial reporting and disclosure responsibilities and to review such actions and progress with the Audit Committee.
In addition, we have taken, and continue to take, the actions described below to remediate the identified material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, our senior management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation efforts described in this section. Until the remediation efforts discussed in this section, including any additional remediation efforts that our senior management identifies as necessary, are completed, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.
Control Activities
Non-Fleet Procurement
To address the material weakness over the non-fleet procurement process, we have strengthened processes and controls for manual accruals and journal entries. In addition, we have enhanced the accrual methodology and controls to ensure completeness over our non-fleet procurement liabilities. We have also improved our controls over vendor approval and set up, maintaining support over payables transactions and ensuring appropriate approvals for payables transactions. In September 2016, we substantially completed the outsourcing of certain functions related to global accounts payable processing. Further, during the third quarter of 2016 management implemented the Central Back Office Department for the U.S. Rental Car business to ensure appropriate purchasing methods and processes are being adhered to including; (i) national supplier selection, (ii) coaching and training on proper and timely purchase order initiation and timely receipt of goods and (iii) monitoring user access controls to procurement applications.
Accounting Estimates
To address the material weakness associated with controls over accounting estimates related to allowances for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles, we have taken steps to improve our design and maintenance of effective controls for accounting estimates, including (i) where necessary, we have identified, implemented and documented controls over appropriate accounting methodologies, data, and assumptions for certain accounts, (ii) held trainings with accounting staff to ensure there is a thorough understanding of the underlying methodologies implemented, (iii) established policies and procedures for the approval and implementation of new or modified accounting methodologies, (iv) hired accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to execute the underlying accounting methodologies and (v) established policies and procedures for the review, approval and application of appropriate GAAP for transactions and accounting methodology changes. The remediation of non-fleet procurement and risk assessment material weakness related to fleet key reports and spreadsheets will need to be completed for this material weakness to be fully remediated given the allowances for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles estimate depends on information from these processes.
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
Risk Assessment
To address the material weakness associated with controls in response to the risk of material misstatement we established mechanisms to identify, evaluate, and monitor risks to financial reporting throughout the organization. We implemented a formal enterprise risk assessment process which included considerations for ICFR and risk of material misstatement. We have implemented new procedures and enhanced controls governing our internal management-led Disclosure Committee, sub-certification process, and external reporting processes associated with the review and approval of the content of our SEC filings. In order to consider this material weakness fully remediated, we will continue to identify, evaluate and monitor risks of material misstatement to financial reporting and implement changes to the design of our internal control over financial reporting to respond such risks.
IT Systems
To address the material weakness associated with controls over IT, the remediation efforts expected to be implemented include the following, (i) improving existing controls to monitor developers’ access to production and adequately capture, document and approve data changes and other IT related activities (ii) enhancing the design and operation of control activities and procedures associated with user and administrator access to the affected IT systems, including both preventive and detective control activities (iii) educating and re-training control owners regarding risks, controls and maintaining adequate evidence (iv) clarifying and communicating appropriate roles and responsibilities for controls and systems for both IT and business users and (v) dedicating additional resources to administer IT general controls to promote compliance with policies, procedures, and processes.
System-Generated Reports and Spreadsheets Related to Revenue Earning Vehicles Estimates
To address the material weakness associated with completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports and spreadsheets used in the accounting for estimates related to revenue earning vehicles, management will enhance the design and operation of control activities and procedures associated with the data extraction and transfer to account for revenue earning vehicle estimates.
Income Taxes
To address the material weakness associated with controls over the analysis and assessment of the income tax effects related to non-recurring transactions, the provision for income taxes and state deferred tax asset valuation allowances, the remediation efforts expected to be implemented include the following, (i) implementation of tax provision software, (ii) improvement of the tax provision processes and (iii) enhancing our income tax controls to include specific activities to assess the accounting for significant complex transactions and other tax related judgements.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our remediation efforts were ongoing during the three months ended December 31, 2016. In October 2016, we transitioned Hertz Claim Management (“HCM”) U.S. third party claims processing to a third service party provider. The Company will continue managing claims opened prior to October 1, 2016 and is projected to complete the transition in 2017.
The transition of HCM to a third party service provider was a change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We have remediated the material weakness associated with the review, approval, and documentation of manual journal entries by: (i) establishing comprehensive and clear policies and procedures to govern the completion and review of journal entries and to determine whether manual journal entries recorded in our financial records are properly prepared, supported by adequate documentation, and independently reviewed and approved, (ii) delivering supplemental training to accounting staff with the objective of developing a thorough understanding of the Company’s journal entries policies and review protocols and (iii) enhancing our manual journal entry controls.
Risk Assessment
Account Reconciliations
We have remediated the material weakness associated with ineffectiveness of design over certain business processes including our period-end financial reporting process. This includes (i) the establishment of comprehensive and clear policies and procedures to govern the completion and review of account reconciliations of balance sheet and significant accounts, including independent review, (ii) the delivery of supplemental training to our accounting staff with the objective of developing a thorough understanding of our account reconciliation policies and review protocols and (iii) the design, and where appropriate enhancement of controls over the preparation, analysis and review of significant account reconciliations and closing adjustments required to assess the appropriateness of certain balances at period end.
Monitoring
We have remediated the material weakness associated with controls over monitoring by: (i) the appointment in 2016 of a new Senior Vice President and Chief Audit Executive, with global responsibilities, (ii) the continued hiring of additional resources with an appropriate level of knowledge and expertise, (iii) the supplementation of these personnel with qualified consulting resources to achieve an adequate level of staff, (iv) the reorganization of the internal audit function, (v) enhancing the Company’s risk assessment process, and (vi) the reporting of operational and financial assessments to senior management and the Audit Committee. During 2016, the internal audit and Sarbanes-Oxley Project Management Office teams enhanced (i) our processes associated with the scoping and identification of processes and key controls, (ii) the documentation of these processes and (iii) our testing procedures to promote the consistency and accuracy of conclusions, deliverables and disclosures associated with our financial accounting and reporting requirements. Internal audit demonstrated independence and objectivity and the requisite knowledge and skills necessary for effective assessment of internal controls over financial reporting.
Remediation Efforts and Status of Remaining Material Weaknesses
We have taken certain remediation steps to address the material weaknesses referenced above that continue to remain as of December 31, 2016, and to improve our control over financial reporting. Management of the Company and the Board take the control and integrity of the Company’s financial statements seriously and believe that the remediation steps described below are essential to maintaining a strong internal controls environment.
We have identified and implemented, and continue to identify and implement, actions to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including plans to enhance our resources and training with respect to financial reporting and disclosure responsibilities and to review such actions and progress with the Audit Committee.
In addition, we have taken, and continue to take, the actions described below to remediate the identified material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, our senior management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
remediation efforts described in this section. Until the remediation efforts discussed in this section, including any additional remediation efforts that our senior management identifies as necessary, are completed, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.
Control Activities
Non-Fleet Procurement
To address the material weakness over the non-fleet procurement process, we have strengthened processes and controls for manual accruals and journal entries. In addition, we have enhanced the accrual methodology and controls to ensure completeness over our non-fleet procurement liabilities. We have also improved our controls over vendor approval and set up, maintaining support over payables transactions and ensuring appropriate approvals for payables transactions. In September 2016, we substantially completed the outsourcing of certain functions related to global accounts payable processing. Further, during the third quarter of 2016 management implemented the Central Back Office Department for the U.S. Rental Car business to ensure appropriate purchasing methods and processes are being adhered to including; (i) national supplier selection, (ii) coaching and training on proper and timely purchase order initiation and timely receipt of goods and (iii) monitoring user access controls to procurement applications.
Accounting Estimates
To address the material weakness associated with controls over accounting estimates related to allowances for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles, we have taken steps to improve our design and maintenance of effective controls for accounting estimates, including (i) where necessary, we have identified, implemented and documented controls over appropriate accounting methodologies, data, and assumptions for certain accounts, (ii) held trainings with accounting staff to ensure there is a thorough understanding of the underlying methodologies implemented, (iii) established policies and procedures for the approval and implementation of new or modified accounting methodologies, (iv) hired accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to execute the underlying accounting methodologies and (v) established policies and procedures for the review, approval and application of appropriate GAAP for transactions and accounting methodology changes. The remediation of non-fleet procurement and risk assessment material weakness related to fleet key reports and spreadsheets will need to be completed for this material weakness to be fully remediated given the allowances for uncollectible amounts receivable for renter obligations for damaged vehicles estimate depends on information from these processes.
Risk Assessment
To address the material weakness associated with controls in response to the risk of material misstatement we established mechanisms to identify, evaluate, and monitor risks to financial reporting throughout the organization. We implemented a formal enterprise risk assessment process which included considerations for ICFR and risk of material misstatement. We have implemented new procedures and enhanced controls governing our internal management-led Disclosure Committee, sub-certification process, and external reporting processes associated with the review and approval of the content of our SEC filings. In order to consider this material weakness fully remediated, we will continue to identify, evaluate and monitor risks of material misstatement to financial reporting and implement changes to the design of our internal control over financial reporting to respond such risks.
IT Systems
To address the material weakness associated with controls over IT, the remediation efforts expected to be implemented include the following, (i) improving existing controls to monitor developers’ access to production and adequately capture, document and approve data changes and other IT related activities (ii) enhancing the design and operation of control activities and procedures associated with user and administrator access to the affected IT systems, including both preventive and detective control activities (iii) educating and re-training control owners regarding risks, controls and maintaining adequate evidence (iv) clarifying and communicating appropriate roles and responsibilities for controls and systems for both IT and business users and (v) dedicating additional resources to administer IT general controls to promote compliance with policies, procedures, and processes.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)
System-Generated Reports and Spreadsheets Related to Revenue Earning Vehicles Estimates
To address the material weakness associated with completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports and spreadsheets used in the accounting estimates related to revenue earning vehicles, management will enhance the design and operation of control activities and procedures associated with the data extraction and transfer to account for revenue earning vehicle estimates.
Income Taxes
To address the material weakness associated with controls over the analysis and assessment of the income tax effects related to non-recurring transactions, the provision for income taxes and state deferred tax asset valuation allowances, the remediation efforts expected to be implemented include the following, (i) implementation of tax provision software, (ii) improvement of the tax provision processes and (iii) enhancing our income tax controls to include specific activities to assess the accounting for significant complex transactions and other tax related judgements.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our remediation efforts were ongoing during the three months ended December 31, 2016. In October 2016, we transitioned Hertz Claim Management (“HCM”) U.S. third party claims processing to a third service party provider. The Company will continue managing claims opened prior to October 1, 2016 and is projected to complete the transition in 2017.
The transition of HCM to a third party service provider was a change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(a) Except as specifically amended above, the Indenture Supplement is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
(b) Except as expressly set forth above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any party hereto under the Indenture Supplement, or constitute a waiver of any provision of any other agreement.
(c) Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference in the Indenture Supplement to “this Agreement”, “Series Supplement”, “hereto”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Indenture Supplement, and each reference in any other Transaction Document to “Series Supplement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Indenture Supplement, shall mean and be a reference to the Indenture Supplement as amended hereby.
5. Indenture Trustee Direction. The parties hereto (other than the Indenture Trustee) hereby direct the Indenture Trustee to enter into this Amendment.
6. Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any signature page to this Amendment containing a manual signature may be delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication device capable of transmitting or creating a printable written record, and when so delivered shall have the effect of delivery of an original manually signed signature page.
7. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL MATTERS ARISING FROM OR IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8. Headings. The descriptive headings of the various sections of this Amendment are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions thereof.
9. Severability. The failure or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions of this Amendment. Whenever possible each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
10. Interpretation. Whenever the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular number herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter and the neuter shall include the masculine and feminine.
11. Indenture Trustee Not Responsible. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of this Amendment nor for the recitals herein.

WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016
Delayed Funding Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Class A Advance exceeds its Class A Required Non-Delayed Amount (such excess amount, the “Class A Permitted Delayed Amount”), then the Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser also shall include in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice the portion of such Class A Advance (such amount as specified in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice, not to exceed such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser’s Class A Permitted Delayed Amount, the “Class A Delayed Amount”) that the Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser has elected to fund on a Business Day that is on or prior to the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the proposed date of such Class A Advance (such date as specified in the Class A Delayed Funding Notice, the “Class A Delayed Funding Date”) rather than on the date for such Class A Advance specified in the related Class A Advance Request.
B. If (A) one or more Class A Delayed Funding Purchasers provide a Class A Delayed Funding Notice to HVF II specifying a Class A Delayed Amount in respect of any Class A Advance and (B) HVF II shall not have revoked the notice of the Class A Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the proposed date of such Class A Advance, then HVF II, by no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Class A Advance, may (but shall have no obligation to) direct each Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser to fund an additional portion of such Class A Advance on the proposed date of such Class A Advance equal to such Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchasers) of the aggregate Class A Delayed Amount with respect to the proposed Class A Advance; provided that, (i) no Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser shall be required to fund any portion of its proportionate share of such aggregate Class A Delayed Amount that would cause its Class A Investor Group Principal Amount to exceed its Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount and (ii) any Class A Conduit Investor, if any, in the Class A Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s Class A Investor Group may, in its sole discretion, agree to fund such proportionate share of such aggregate Class A Delayed Amount.

22
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016

(vi) Funding Class A Advances.
A. Subject to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.2(a), on the date of each Class A Advance, each Class A Conduit Investor and Class A Committed Note Purchaser(s) funding such Class A Advance shall make available to HVF II its portion of the amount of such Class A Advance (other than any Class A Delayed Amount) by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2013-A Principal Collection Account no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Class A Advance. Proceeds from any Class A Advance shall be deposited into the Series 2013-A Principal Collection Account.
B. A Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser that delivered a Class A Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class A Delayed Amount shall be obligated to fund such Class A Delayed Amount on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date in the manner set forth in the next succeeding sentence, irrespective of whether the Series 2013-A Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred on or prior to such Class A Delayed Funding Date or HVF II would be able to satisfy the Class A Funding Conditions on such Class A Delayed Funding Date. Such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser shall (i) pay the sum of the Class A Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount related to such Class A Delayed Amount, if any, to HVF II no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2013-A Principal Collection Account, and (ii) pay the Class A Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount related to such Class A Delayed Amount, if any, on such related Class A Delayed Funding Date to each applicable Class A Funding Agent in immediately available funds for the ratable benefit of the related Class A Available Delayed

Amount Purchasers that funded the Class A Delayed Amount on the date of the Advance related to such Class A Delayed Amount in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(v)(B), based on the relative amount of such Class A Delayed Amount funded by such Class A Available Delayed Amount Purchaser on the date of such Class A Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(v)(B).
(vii) Class A Funding Defaults. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any Class A Advance, one or more Class A Committed Note Purchasers in a Class A Investor Group (each, a “Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,” and each Class A Committed Note Purchaser in the related Class A Investor Group that is not a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, a “Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser”) fails to make its portion of such Class A Advance, available to HVF II pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) (the aggregate amount unavailable to HVF II as a result of any such failure being herein called a “Class A Advance Deficit”), then the Class A Funding Agent for such Class A Investor Group, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable date of such Class A Advance, shall instruct each Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser in the same Class A Investor Group as the Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser to pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in immediately available funds, to the Series 2013-A Principal Collection Account, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (based upon the relative Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers) of the Class A Advance Deficit and (ii) the amount by which such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (by Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage) of the Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class A Investor Group exceeds the portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class A Investor Group funded by such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser (determined after giving effect to all Class A Advances already made by such Class A Investor Group on such date). Subject to Section 1.3, a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the applicable Class A Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers all amounts paid by each such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser on behalf of such Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser until the date such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.50% per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, no Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser that has provided a Class A
24
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016
Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class A Advance shall be considered to be in default of its obligation to fund its Class A Delayed Amount or be treated as a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser hereunder unless and until it has failed to fund the Class A Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount or the Class A Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(vi)(B).

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

Such Class B Delayed Funding Purchaser shall (i) pay the sum of the Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount related to such Class B Delayed Amount, if any, to HVF II no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Class B Delayed Funding Date by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2013-A Principal Collection Account, and (ii) pay the Class B Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount related to such Class B Delayed Amount, if any, on such related Class B Delayed Funding Date to each applicable Class B Funding Agent in immediately available funds for the ratable benefit of the related Class B Available Delayed Amount Purchasers that funded the Class B Delayed Amount on the date of the Advance related to such Class B Delayed Amount in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(v)(B), based on the relative amount of such Class B Delayed Amount funded by such Class B Available Delayed Amount Purchaser on the date of such Class B Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(v)(B).
(vii) Class B Funding Defaults. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any Class B Advance, one or more Class B Committed Note Purchasers in a Class B Investor Group (each, a “Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,” and each Class B Committed Note Purchaser in the related Class B Investor Group that is not a Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, a “Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser”) fails to make its portion of such Class B Advance, available to HVF II pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(vi) (the aggregate amount unavailable to HVF II as a result of any such failure being herein called a “Class B Advance Deficit”), then the Class B Funding Agent for such Class B Investor Group, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable date of such Class B Advance, shall instruct each Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser in the same Class B Investor Group as the Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser to pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in immediately available funds, to the Series 2013-A Principal Collection Account, an

A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF II; provided that, the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for accrued amounts due under this Section 3.7 prior to such initial payment.

(b) Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from HVF II, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and HVF II will promptly upon receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Taxes pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Taxes been asserted.
(c) If HVF II fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, HVF II shall indemnify the Affected Person and their agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.8, a distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by HVF II.
56
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016

HVF II shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 3.8 to any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.
(e) If the Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.8, it shall pay over such refund to HVF II (but only to the extent of amounts paid under this Section 3.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that HVF II, upon the request of the Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to HVF II (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 3.8 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to HVF II or any other Person.
Section 3.9. Series 2013-A Carrying Charges; Survival. Any amounts payable by HVF II under the Specified Cost Sections shall constitute Series 2013-A Carrying Charges. The agreements in the Specified Cost Sections and Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Series 2013-A Supplement and the Group I Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
Section 3.10. Minimizing Costs and Expenses and Equivalent Treatment.
(a) Each Affected Person shall be deemed to have agreed that it shall, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to in any Specified Cost Section, use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application) to minimize the costs, expenses, taxes or other liabilities incurred by it and payable to it by HVF II pursuant to such Specified Cost Section.
(b) In determining any amounts payable to it by HVF II pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, each Affected Person shall treat HVF II the same as or better than all similarly situated Persons (as determined by such Affected Person in its reasonable discretion) and such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and
57
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016
attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions, such that HVF II is treated the same as, or better than, all such other similarly situated Persons with respect to such other similar transactions.
Section 3.11. Timing Threshold for Specified Cost Sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Series 2013-A Supplement to the contrary, HVF II shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Affected Person pursuant to any Specified Cost Section in respect of any amount otherwise owing pursuant to any Specified Cost Section that arose during any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such Affected Person’s obtaining knowledge thereof, except that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. If, after the payment of any amounts by HVF II pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, any applicable law, rule or regulation in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to such Affected Person, then such Affected Person, within sixty (60) days after such determination, shall repay any amounts paid to it by HVF II hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

An assignment by a Class B Committed Note Purchaser that is part of a Class B Investor Group that includes a Class B Conduit Investor to a Class B Investor Group that does not include a Class B Conduit Investor may be made pursuant to this Section 9.3(b)(i); provided that, immediately prior to such assignment each Class B Conduit Investor that is part of the assigning Class B Investor Group shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights and obligations in the Class B Notes (and its rights and obligations hereunder and under each other Series 2013-A Related Document) in respect of such assigned interest to its related Class B Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.3(b)(vii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to Section 9.3(b)(viii)), any assignment by a Class B Committed Note Purchaser to a different Class B Investor Group that includes a Class B Conduit Investor shall be made pursuant to Section 9.3(b)(iii), and not this Section 9.3(b)(i).

Upon such assignment by a Class B Conduit Investor to a Class B Conduit Assignee:
105
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016
A. such Class B Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Class B Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Class B Conduit Investor,
B. the related administrative or managing agent for such Class B Conduit Assignee will act as the Class B Funding Agent for such Class B Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Class B Funding Agent hereunder or under each other Series 2013-A Related Document,
C. such Class B Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Class B Commercial Paper and/or the Class B Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Class B Conduit Investor herein and in each other Series 2013-A Related Document (including any limitation on recourse against such Class B Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph),

E. all distributions in respect of the Class B Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Class B Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Class B Funding Agent on behalf of such Class B Conduit Assignee,
F. the definition of the term “Class B CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Class B Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class B Conduit Investor, as applicable funded with commercial paper issued by such Class B Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “Class B CP Rate” applicable to such Class B Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Class B Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Class B Conduit Investor),
G. the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Series 2013-A Supplement and each other Series 2013-A Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and
H. if reasonably requested by the Class B Funding Agent with respect to such Class B Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions
106
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016
as the Class B Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing.
No assignment by any Class B Conduit Investor to a Class B Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Class B Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class B Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Class B Committed Note Purchasers in the same Class B Investor Group as such Class B Conduit Investor under Section 2.2 to fund any Class B Advance not funded by such Class B Conduit Investor or such Class B Conduit Assignee.
(iii) Any Class B Conduit Investor and the Class B Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class B Conduit Investor (or, with respect to any Class B Investor Group without a Class B Conduit Investor, the related Class B Committed Note Purchaser) at any time may sell all or any part of their respective (or, with respect to a Class B Investor Group without a Class B Conduit Investor, its) rights and obligations under this Series 2013-A Supplement and the Class B Notes, with the prior written consent of HVF II, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to a Class B Investor Group with respect to which each acquiring Class B Conduit Investor is a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper has ratings of at least “A-2” from S&P and “P2” from Moody’s and that includes one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (a “Class B Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 (the “Class B Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Class B Acquiring Investor Group, the Class B Funding Agent with respect to such Class B Acquiring Investor Group (including each Class B Conduit Investor (if any) and the Class B Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Class B Investor Group), such assigning Class B Conduit Investor and the Class B Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Class B Conduit Investor, the Class B Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Class B Conduit Investor and Class B Committed Note Purchasers and HVF II and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that, the consent of HVF II to any such assignment shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes; provided further that HVF II may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion (and such withholding shall be deemed reasonable) to an assignment to a potential Class B Acquiring Investor Group that (a) has ratings of at least “A-2” from S&P and “P2” by Moody’s, but does not have ratings of at least “A-1” from S&P or “P1” by Moody’s if such assignment will result in a material increase in HVF II’s costs of financing with respect to the applicable Class B Notes or (b) is a Disqualified Party.
107
WEIL:\96021878\3\52399.0016
(iv) Any Class B Committed Note Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more financial institutions or other entities (“Class B Participants”) participations in its Class B Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the Class B Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to it and the other Class B Committed Note Purchasers included in the related Class B Investor Group, its Class B Note and its rights hereunder (or, in each case, a portion thereof) pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to such Class B Committed Note Purchaser and the Class B Participant; provided, however, that (i) in the event of any such sale by a Class B Committed Note Purchaser to a Class B Participant, (A) such Class B Committed Note Purchaser’s obligations under this Series 2013-A Supplement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Class B Committed Note Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and (C) HVF II and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Class B Committed Note Purchaser in connection with its rights and obligations under this Series 2013-A Supplement, (ii) no Class B Committed Note Purchaser shall sell any participating interest under which the Class B Participant shall have any right to approve, veto, consent, waive or otherwise influence any approval, consent or waiver of such Class B Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amendment, consent or waiver with respect to this Series 2013-A Supplement or any other Series 2013-A Related Document, except to the extent that the approval of such amendment, consent or waiver otherwise would require the unanimous consent of all Class B Committed Note Purchasers hereunder, and (iii) no Class B Committed Note Purchaser shall sell any participating interest to any Disqualified Party. A Class B Participant shall have the right to receive reimbursement for amounts due pursuant to each Specified Cost Section but only to the extent that the related selling Class B Committed Note Purchaser would have had such right absent the sale of the related participation and, with respect to amounts due pursuant to Section 3.8, only to the extent such Class B Participant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 3.8 as if such Class B Participant were a Class B Committed Note Purchaser. Each such Class B Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions set forth in Section 3.10 as if such Class B Participant were a Class B Committed Note Purchaser.
(v) HVF II authorizes each Class B Committed Note Purchaser to disclose to any Class B Participant or Class B Acquiring Committed Note Purchaser (each, a “Class B Transferee”) and any prospective Class B Transferee any and all financial information in such Class B Committed Note Purchaser’s possession concerning HVF II, the Series 2013-A Collateral, the Group I Administrator and the Series 2013-A Related Documents that has been delivered to such Class B Committed Note

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Series 2013-A Supplement (but subject to Section 9.3(b)(viii)), each Class B Conduit Investor or, if there is no Class B Conduit Investor with respect to any Class B Investor Group, the Class B Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class B Investor Group may at any time grant to one or more Class B Program Support Providers (or, in the case of a Class B Conduit Investor, to its related Class B Committed Note Purchaser) a participating interest in or lien on, or otherwise transfer and assign to one or more Class B Program Support Providers (or, in the case of a Class B Conduit Investor, to its related Class B Committed Note Purchaser), such Class B Conduit Investor’s or, if there is no Class B Conduit Investor with respect to any Class B Investor Group, the related Class B Committed Note Purchaser’s interests in the Class B Advances made hereunder and such Class B Program Support Provider (or such Class B Committed Note Purchaser, as the case may be), with respect to its participating or assigned interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Class B Conduit Investor or Class B Committed Note Purchaser, as applicable, under this Series 2013-A Supplement.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Series 2013-A Supplement (but subject to Section 9.3(b)(viii)), each Class B Conduit Investor may at any time, without the consent of HVF II, transfer and assign all or a portion of its rights in the Class B Notes (and its rights hereunder and under other Series 2013-A Related Documents) to its related Class B Committed Note Purchaser. Furthermore, each Class B Conduit Investor may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its interests under this Series 2013-A Supplement, its Class B Note and each other Series 2013-A Related Document to (i) its related Class B Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) its Class B Funding Agent, (iii) any Class B Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including an insurance policy for such Class B Conduit Investor relating to the Class B Commercial Paper or the Class B Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Class B Conduit Investors, including an insurance policy relating to the Class B Commercial Paper or the Class B Notes or (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing; provided, however, any

The Base Indenture, together with the Group I Supplement and the Series 2013-A Supplement are referred to herein collectively, as the “Indenture”. Except as set forth in the Series 2013-A Supplement, the Class B Note is subject to all terms of the Base Indenture and Group I Supplement. Except as set forth in the Series 2013-A Supplement and the Group I Supplement, the Class B Note is subject to all of the terms of the Base Indenture.

The Class B Note is and will be secured as provided in the Indenture.
“Payment Date” means the 25th day of each calendar month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing February 27, 2017.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class B Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Final Payment Date, in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Series 2013-A Supplement.

Any amount that a Class A Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the second proviso of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of such Class A Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency.

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

Proceeds from any Class A Advance shall be deposited into the Series 2013-B Principal Collection Account.
B. A Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser that delivered a Class A Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class A Delayed Amount shall be obligated to fund such Class A Delayed Amount on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date in the manner set forth in the next succeeding sentence, irrespective of whether the Series 2013-B Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred on or prior to such Class A Delayed Funding Date or HVF II would be able to satisfy the Class A Funding Conditions on such Class A Delayed Funding Date. Such Class A Delayed Funding Purchaser shall (i) pay the sum of the Class A Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount related to such Class A Delayed Amount, if any, to HVF II no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2013-B Principal Collection Account, and (ii)

(vii) Class A Funding Defaults. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any Class A Advance, one or more Class A Committed Note Purchasers in a Class A Investor Group (each, a “Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,” and each Class A Committed Note Purchaser in the related Class A Investor Group that is not a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, a “Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser”) fails to make its portion of such Class A Advance, available to HVF II pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) (the aggregate amount unavailable to HVF II as a result of any such failure being herein called a “Class A Advance Deficit”), then the Class A Funding Agent for such Class A Investor Group, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable date of such Class A Advance, shall instruct each Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser in the same Class A Investor Group as the Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser to pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in immediately available funds, to the Series 2013-B Principal Collection Account, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (based upon the relative Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers) of the Class A Advance Deficit and (ii) the amount by which such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (by Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage) of the Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class A Investor Group exceeds the portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class A Investor Group funded by such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser (determined after giving effect to all Class A Advances already made by such Class A Investor Group on such date). Subject to Section 1.3, a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the applicable Class A Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers all amounts paid by each such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser on behalf of such Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser until the date such Class A Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.50% per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, no Class A
23
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
Delayed Funding Purchaser that has provided a Class A Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class A Advance shall be considered to be in default of its obligation to fund its Class A Delayed Amount or be treated as a Class A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser hereunder unless and until it has failed to fund the Class A Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount or the Class A Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount on the related Class A Delayed Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(vi)(B).

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

If (A) one or more Class B Delayed Funding Purchasers provide a Class B Delayed Funding Notice to HVF II specifying a Class B Delayed Amount in respect of any Class B Advance and (B) HVF II shall not have revoked the notice of the Class B Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the proposed date of such Class B Advance, then HVF II, by no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Class B Advance, may (but shall have no obligation to) direct each Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser to fund an additional portion of such Class B Advance on the proposed date of such Class B Advance equal to such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Class B Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchasers) of the aggregate Class B Delayed Amount with respect to the proposed Class B Advance; provided that, (i) no Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser shall be
27
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
required to fund any portion of its proportionate share of such aggregate Class B Delayed Amount that would cause its Class B Investor Group Principal Amount to exceed its Class B Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount and (ii) any Class B Conduit Investor, if any, in the Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s Class B Investor Group may, in its sole discretion, agree to fund such proportionate share of such aggregate Class B Delayed Amount.
C. Upon receipt of any notice of a Class B Delayed Amount in respect of a Class B Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(v)(B), a Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser, promptly (but in no event later than 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Class B Advance) may notify HVF II in writing (a “Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice”) of its election to decline to fund a portion of its proportionate share of such Class B Delayed Amount (such portion, the “Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount”); provided that, the Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (A) such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s proportionate share of such Class B Delayed Amount over (B) such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s Class B Required Non-Delayed Amount (after giving effect to the funding of any amount in respect of such Class B Advance to be made by such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser or the Class B Conduit Investor in such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser’s Class B Investor Group) (such excess amount, the “Class B Second Permitted Delayed Amount”), and upon any such election, such Class B Available Delayed Amount Committed Note Purchaser shall include in the Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice the Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount.

28
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
shall be obligated to fund such Class B Delayed Amount on the related Class B Delayed Funding Date in the manner set forth in the next succeeding sentence, irrespective of whether the Series 2013-B Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred on or prior to such Class B Delayed Funding Date or HVF II would be able to satisfy the Class B Funding Conditions on such Class B Delayed Funding Date. Such Class B Delayed Funding Purchaser shall (i) pay the sum of the Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount related to such Class B Delayed Amount, if any, to HVF II no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the related Class B Delayed Funding Date by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds to the Series 2013-B Principal Collection Account, and (ii) pay the Class B Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount related to such Class B Delayed Amount, if any, on such related Class B Delayed Funding Date to each applicable Class B Funding Agent in immediately available funds for the ratable benefit of the related Class B Available Delayed Amount Purchasers that funded the Class B Delayed Amount on the date of the Advance related to such Class B Delayed Amount in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(v)(B), based on the relative amount of such Class B Delayed Amount funded by such Class B Available Delayed Amount Purchaser on the date of such Class B Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(v)(B).
(vii) Class B Funding Defaults. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any Class B Advance, one or more Class B Committed Note Purchasers in a Class B Investor Group (each, a “Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,” and each Class B Committed Note Purchaser in the related Class B Investor Group that is not a Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, a “Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser”) fails to make its portion of such Class B Advance, available to HVF II pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(vi) (the aggregate amount unavailable to HVF II as a result of any such failure being herein called a “Class B Advance Deficit”), then the Class B Funding Agent for such Class B Investor Group, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable date of such Class B Advance, shall instruct each Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser in the same Class B Investor Group as the Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser to pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in immediately available funds, to the Series 2013-B Principal Collection Account, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (based upon the relative Class B Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers) of the Class B Advance Deficit and (ii) the amount by which such Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s pro rata portion (by Class B Committed Note Purchaser Percentage) of the Class B Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class B Investor Group exceeds the portion of the Class B Investor Group Principal Amount for such Class B Investor Group funded by such Class B Non-Defaulting Committed Note
29
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
Purchaser (determined after giving effect to all Class B Advances already made by such Class B Investor Group on such date).

For the avoidance of doubt, no Class B Delayed Funding Purchaser that has provided a Class B Delayed Funding Notice in respect of a Class B Advance shall be considered to be in default of its obligation to fund its Class B Delayed Amount or be treated as a Class B Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser hereunder unless and until it has failed to fund the Class B Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount or the Class B Second Delayed Funding Notice Amount on the related Class B Delayed Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(vi)(B).

then, upon notice from such Class A Conduit Investor, such Class A Committed Note Purchaser or the related Class A Majority Program Support Providers to such Class A Funding Agent and HVF II, the obligations of such Class A Conduit Investor, such Class A Committed Note Purchaser and all of the related Class A Program Support Providers to make or continue any Class A Advance as, or to convert any Class A Advances into, the Class A Eurodollar Tranche shall forthwith be suspended until such Class A Funding Agent shall notify HVF II that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and such Class A Investor Group shall immediately convert the portion of the Class A Eurodollar Tranche funded by each such Class A Conduit Investor or Class A Committed Note Purchaser into the Class A Base Rate Tranche at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required for the reasons set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as the case may be.

then, upon notice from such Class B Conduit Investor, such Class B Committed Note Purchaser or the related Class B Majority Program Support Providers to such Class B Funding Agent and HVF II, the obligations of such Class B Conduit Investor, such Class B Committed Note Purchaser and all of the related Class B Program Support Providers to make or continue any Class B Advance as, or to convert any Class B Advances into, the Class B Eurodollar Tranche shall forthwith be suspended until such Class B Funding Agent shall notify HVF II that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and such Class B Investor Group shall immediately convert the portion of the Class B Eurodollar Tranche funded by each such Class B Conduit Investor or Class B Committed Note Purchaser into the Class B Base Rate Tranche at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required for the reasons set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as the case may be.

Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and HVF II in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount or return. Such additional amounts shall be payable by HVF II to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person on the Payment Date immediately following HVF II’s receipt of such notice, and such notice, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF II.

(ii) any Class A Advance or Class B Advance not being made as part of the Class A CP Tranche, Class A Eurodollar Tranche, Class B CP Tranche or Class B Eurodollar Tranche, as applicable after a request for such an Class A Advance or Class B Advance, as applicable, has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein;

52
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
expense; provided that, the maximum amount payable by HVF II to any Affected Person in respect of any losses or expenses that result from any conversion, repayment or prepayment described in clause (i) above shall be the amount HVF II would be obligated to pay pursuant to clause (i) above if such conversion, repayment or prepayment were scheduled to have been paid on the next succeeding Payment Date; provided further that, in no event shall any amount be payable by HVF II to any Affected Person pursuant to this Section 3.6 as a result of any conversion, repayment, prepayment or non-payment with respect to any Class A CP Tranche or Class B CP Tranche unless (i) the amount of such conversion, repayment, prepayment or non-payment exceeds $100,000,000 with respect to such Affected Person and (ii) such Affected Person shall have received less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice from HVF II of such conversion, repayment, prepayment or non-payment, as the case may be; provided further that, in no event shall any amount be payable by HVF II to any Affected Person pursuant to this Section 3.6 as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment relating to the payment of the Series 2013-B Restatement Effective Date Principal Payments on the Series 2013-B Restatement Effective Date.
Section 3.7. Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment or the Class A Advances, Class B Advances and/or Class C Advances, as the case may be, made by such Affected Person hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such Change in Law, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and HVF II, HVF II shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person an incremental commitment fee, payable on each Payment Date, sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return to the extent that the increased costs for which such Affected Person is being compensated are allocable to the existence of such Affected Person’s Class A Advances, Class B Advances or Class C Advances, as applicable, or Class A Commitment, Class B Commitment or Class C Commitment, as applicable, hereunder. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF II; provided that, the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for accrued amounts due under this Section 3.7 prior to such initial payment.
Section 3.8. Taxes.
(a) All payments by HVF II of principal of, and interest on, the Class A Advances, the Class B Advances, the Class C Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and
53
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (x) net income, franchise or similar taxes (including branch profits taxes or alternative minimum tax) imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced by, this Series 2013-B Supplement), (y) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of the jurisdiction other than the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to (or acquires a Participation in) this Series 2013-B Supplement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from HVF II with respect to withholding tax and (z) United States federal withholding taxes that would not have been imposed but for a failure by an Affected Person (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such Affected Person) to comply with the procedures, certifications, information reporting, disclosure or other related requirements of current Sections 1471-1474 of the Code or any published administrative guidance implementing such law to establish relief or exemption from the tax imposed by such provisions (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).
(b) Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from HVF II, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and HVF II will promptly upon receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Taxes pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Taxes been asserted.
(c) If HVF II fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, HVF II shall indemnify the Affected Person and their agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.8, a distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by HVF II.
(d) Each Foreign Affected Person shall execute and deliver to HVF II, prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder and to the extent permissible under then current law, and on or about the first scheduled payment date in each calendar year thereafter, one or more (as HVF II may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8BEN-E, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W 9, or
54
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
successor applicable forms, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. HVF II shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 3.8 to any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.
(e) If the Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.8, it shall pay over such refund to HVF II (but only to the extent of amounts paid under this Section 3.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that HVF II, upon the request of the Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to HVF II (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 3.8 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to HVF II or any other Person.
Section 3.9. Series 2013-B Carrying Charges; Survival. Any amounts payable by HVF II under the Specified Cost Sections shall constitute Series 2013-B Carrying Charges. The agreements in the Specified Cost Sections and Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Series 2013-B Supplement and the Group II Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
Section 3.10. Minimizing Costs and Expenses and Equivalent Treatment.
(a) Each Affected Person shall be deemed to have agreed that it shall, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to in any Specified Cost Section, use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application) to minimize the costs, expenses, taxes or other liabilities incurred by it and payable to it by HVF II pursuant to such Specified Cost Section.
(b) In determining any amounts payable to it by HVF II pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, each Affected Person shall treat HVF II the same as or better than all similarly situated Persons (as determined by such Affected Person in its reasonable discretion) and such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions, such that HVF II is treated the same as, or better than, all such other similarly situated Persons with respect to such other similar transactions.
55
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
Section 3.11. Timing Threshold for Specified Cost Sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Series 2013-B Supplement to the contrary, HVF II shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Affected Person pursuant to any Specified Cost Section in respect of any amount otherwise owing pursuant to any Specified Cost Section that arose during any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such Affected Person’s obtaining knowledge thereof, except that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. If, after the payment of any amounts by HVF II pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, any applicable law, rule or regulation in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to such Affected Person, then such Affected Person, within sixty (60) days after such determination, shall repay any amounts paid to it by HVF II hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

In exchange for any Class C Note properly presented for transfer, HVF II shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered in compliance with applicable law, to the transferee at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, Class C Notes for the same aggregate principal amount as was transferred. In the case of the transfer of any Class C Note in part, HVF II shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered to the transferor at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, Class C Notes for the aggregate principal

Upon the issuance of transferred Class C Notes, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Class C Note as Class C Noteholders.

95
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
provided further, that HVF II may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion (and such withholding shall be deemed reasonable) to an assignment to a potential Class A Acquiring Committed Note Purchaser that is a Disqualified Party. An assignment by a Class A Committed Note Purchaser that is part of a Class A Investor Group that includes a Class A Conduit Investor to a Class A Investor Group that does not include a Class A Conduit Investor may be made pursuant to this Section 9.3(a)(i); provided that, immediately prior to such assignment each Class A Conduit Investor that is part of the assigning Class A Investor Group shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights and obligations in the Class A Notes (and its rights and obligations hereunder and under each other Series 2013-B Related Document) in respect of such assigned interest to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(vii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to Section 9.3(a)(viii)), any assignment by a Class A Committed Note Purchaser to a different Class A Investor Group that includes a Class A Conduit Investor shall be made pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(iii), and not this Section 9.3(a)(i).
(ii) Without limiting Section 9.3(a)(i), each Class A Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Series 2013-B Supplement and each other Series 2013-B Related Document to which it is a party (or otherwise to which it has rights) to a Class A Conduit Assignee with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor without the prior written consent of HVF II. Upon such assignment by a Class A Conduit Investor to a Class A Conduit Assignee:
A. such Class A Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor,
B. the related administrative or managing agent for such Class A Conduit Assignee will act as the Class A Funding Agent for such Class A Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Class A Funding Agent hereunder or under each other Series 2013-B Related Document,

D. such Class A Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Class A Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder and under each
96
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
other Series 2013-B Related Document with respect to such portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount and such Class A Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations,
E. all distributions in respect of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Class A Funding Agent on behalf of such Class A Conduit Assignee,
F. the definition of the term “Class A CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor, as applicable funded with commercial paper issued by such Class A Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “Class A CP Rate” applicable to such Class A Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Class A Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Class A Conduit Investor),
G. the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Series 2013-B Supplement and each other Series 2013-B Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and
H. if reasonably requested by the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such Class A Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Class A Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing.
No assignment by any Class A Conduit Investor to a Class A Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Class A Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Class A Committed Note Purchasers in the same Class A Investor Group as such Class A Conduit Investor under Section 2.2 to fund any Class A Advance not funded by such Class A Conduit Investor or such Class A Conduit Assignee.
(iii) Any Class A Conduit Investor and the Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor (or, with respect to any Class A Investor Group without a Class A Conduit Investor, the related Class A Committed Note Purchaser) at any time may sell all or any part of their respective (or, with respect to a Class A Investor Group without a Class A Conduit Investor, its) rights and obligations under this Series 2013-B Supplement and the Class A Notes, with the prior written consent of HVF II, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to a Class A Investor Group with respect to which each acquiring Class A Conduit Investor is a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper has ratings of at least “A-2” from S&P and “P2” from Moody’s and that includes one or more financial institutions providing support to

such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (a “Class A Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 (the “Class A Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Class A Acquiring Investor Group, the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such Class A Acquiring Investor Group (including each Class A Conduit Investor (if any) and the Class A Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Class A Investor Group), such assigning Class A Conduit Investor and the Class A Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Class A Conduit Investor, the Class A Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Class A Conduit Investor and Class A Committed Note Purchasers and HVF II and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that, the consent of HVF II to any such assignment shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2013-B Notes; provided further that HVF II may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion (and such withholding shall be deemed reasonable) to an assignment to a potential Class A Acquiring Investor Group that (a) has ratings of at least “A-2” from S&P and “P2” by Moody’s, but does not have ratings of at least “A-1” from S&P or “P1” by Moody’s if such assignment will result in a material increase in HVF II’s costs of financing with respect to the applicable Class A Notes or (b) is a Disqualified Party.
(iv) Any Class A Committed Note Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more financial institutions or other entities (“Class A Participants”) participations in its Class A Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the Class A Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to it and the other Class A Committed Note Purchasers included in the related Class A Investor Group, its Class A Note and its rights hereunder (or, in each case, a portion thereof) pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to such Class A Committed Note Purchaser and the Class A Participant; provided, however, that (i) in the event of any such sale by a Class A Committed Note Purchaser to a Class A Participant, (A) such Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s obligations under this Series 2013-B Supplement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Class A Committed Note Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and (C) HVF II and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Class A Committed Note Purchaser in connection with its rights and obligations under this Series 2013-B Supplement, (ii) no Class A Committed Note Purchaser shall sell any participating interest under which the Class A Participant shall have any right to approve, veto, consent, waive or otherwise influence any approval, consent or waiver of such Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amendment, consent or waiver with respect to this Series 2013-B Supplement or any other Series 2013-B Related Document, except to the extent that the approval of such amendment, consent or waiver otherwise would require the unanimous consent of all Class A Committed Note Purchasers hereunder, and (iii) no Class A Committed Note Purchaser shall sell any participating interest to any Disqualified Party. A Class A Participant shall have the right to receive
98
WEIL:\96021961\2\52399.0016
reimbursement for amounts due pursuant to each Specified Cost Section but only to the extent that the related selling Class A Committed Note Purchaser would have had such right absent the sale of the related participation and, with respect to amounts due pursuant to Section 3.8, only to the extent such Class A Participant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 3.8 as if such Class A Participant were a Class A Committed Note Purchaser. Each such Class A Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions set forth in Section 3.10 as if such Class A Participant were a Class A Committed Note Purchaser.
(v) HVF II authorizes each Class A Committed Note Purchaser to disclose to any Class A Participant or Class A Acquiring Committed Note Purchaser (each, a “Class A Transferee”) and any prospective Class A Transferee any and all financial information in such Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s possession concerning HVF II, the Series 2013-B Collateral, the Group II Administrator and the Series 2013-B Related Documents that has been delivered to such Class A Committed Note Purchaser by HVF II in connection with such Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s credit evaluation of HVF II, the Series 2013-B Collateral and the Group II Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, no Class A Committed Note Purchaser may disclose any of the foregoing information to any Class A Transferee who is a Disqualified Party without the prior written consent of an Authorized Officer of HVF II, which consent may be withheld for any reason in HVF II’s sole and absolute discretion.
(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Series 2013-B Supplement (but subject to Section 9.3(a)(viii)), each Class A Conduit Investor or, if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, the Class A Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Class A Investor Group may at any time grant to one or more Class A Program Support Providers (or, in the case of a Class A Conduit Investor, to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser) a participating interest in or lien on, or otherwise transfer and assign to one or more Class A Program Support Providers (or, in the case of a Class A Conduit Investor, to its related Class A Committed Note Purchaser), such Class A Conduit Investor’s or, if there is no Class A Conduit Investor with respect to any Class A Investor Group, the related Class A Committed Note Purchaser’s interests in the Class A Advances made hereunder and such Class A Program Support Provider (or such Class A Committed Note Purchaser, as the case may be), with respect to its participating or assigned interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Class A Conduit Investor or Class A Committed Note Purchaser, as applicable, under this Series 2013-B Supplement.

Each Class A Committed Note Purchaser may assign its Class A Commitment, or all or any portion of its interest under its Class A Note, this Series 2013-B Supplement and each other Series 2013-B Related Document to any Person with the prior written consent of HVF II, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that, HVF II may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion (and such withholding shall be deemed reasonable) to an assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Party.

REVERSE OF SERIES 2013-B NOTE, CLASS A
This Series 2013-B Note, Class A is one of a duly authorized issue of Group II Notes of the Company, designated as its Series 2013-B Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A Note”), issued under (i) the Amended and Restated Base Indenture, dated as of October 31, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or modified, is herein referred to as the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor Trustee under the Base Indenture), (ii) the Amended and Restated Group II Supplement, dated as of June 17, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Group II Supplement”), between the Company and the Trustee and (iii) the Third Amended and Restated Series 2013-B Supplement, dated as of February 3, 2017 (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Series 2013-B Supplement”), among the Company, the Administrative Agent, certain Committed Note Purchasers, certain Conduit Investors, certain Funding Agents and the Trustee. The Base Indenture, together with the Group II Supplement and the Series 2013-B Supplement are referred to herein collectively, as the “Indenture”. Except as set forth in the Series 2013-B Supplement, the Class A Note is subject to all terms of the Base Indenture and Group II Supplement. Except as set forth in the Series 2013-B Supplement and the Group II Supplement, the Class A Note is subject to all of the terms of the Base Indenture. All terms used in this Class A Note that are defined in the Series 2013-B Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Series 2013-B Supplement.
The Class A Note is and will be secured as provided in the Indenture.
“Payment Date” means the 25th day of each calendar month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing February 27, 2017.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Final Payment Date, in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Series 2013-B Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Amortization Event with respect to the Class A Notes shall have occurred and be continuing then, in certain circumstances, principal of the Class A Note may be paid earlier, as described in the Indenture. All principal payments of the Class A Note shall be made to the Class A Noteholders.
Payments of interest on this Class A Note are due and payable on each Payment Date or such other date as may be specified in the Series 2013-B Supplement, together with the installment of principal then due, if any, and any payments of principal made on any Business Day in respect of any Decreases, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A Note, shall be made by wire transfer to the Holder of record of this Class A Note (or one or more predecessor Class A Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of
WEIL:\96008985\3\52399.0016
business on each Record Date. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A Note (or one or more predecessor Class A Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any
WEIL:\96008985\3\52399.0016
Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted thereon.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A Note Rate to the extent lawful.
Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the holder of any Class A Note may transfer the same in whole or in part, in an amount equivalent to an authorized denomination, by surrendering such Class A Note at the office maintained by the Registrar for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Base Indenture, with the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar by, the holder thereof and accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the Series 2013-B Supplement. In exchange for any Class A Note properly presented for transfer, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered in compliance with applicable law, to the transferee at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, Class A Notes for the same aggregate principal amount as was transferred. In the case of the transfer of any Class A Note in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered to the transferor at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, Class A Notes for the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred. No transfer of any Class A Note shall be made unless the request for such transfer is made by each Class A Noteholder at such office. Upon the issuance of transferred Class A Notes, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Class A Notes as Class A Noteholders.
Each Class A Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class A Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Trustee or the Company on the Class A Note or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against the Trustee in its individual capacity, or against any stockholder, member, employee, officer, director or incorporator of the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Company constituting Series 2013-B Collateral for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A Note, to the extent provided for in the Indenture.
Each Class A Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class A Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Class A Noteholder will not, for a period of one year and one day following payment in full of the Class A Notes and each other Series of Notes issued under the Base Indenture, institute against the Company, or join with any other Person in instituting against the Company, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings,
WEIL:\96008985\3\52399.0016
under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Master Related Documents.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class A Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class A Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class A Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
It is the intent of the Company and each Class A Noteholder that, for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, the Class A Note will evidence indebtedness secured by the Series 2013-B Collateral. Each Class A Noteholder, by the acceptance of this Class A Note, agrees to treat this Class A Note for purposes of Federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holder of the Class A Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the applicable Person(s) specified therein. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the applicable Person(s) specified therein to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences with respect to the Class A Notes. Any such consent or waiver by such Person(s) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Class A Noteholders and upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A Note. The Indenture also permits the Company and the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of any other Person.
The term “Company” as used in this Class A Note includes any successor to the Company under the Indenture.
The Class A Note is issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations set forth therein.
This Class A Note and the Indenture, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Class A Note or Indenture, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal law of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be determined in accordance with such law.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class A Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed, subject to any duty of the
WEIL:\96008985\3\52399.0016
Company to deduct or withhold any amounts as required by law, including any applicable U.S. withholding taxes; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Indenture, the Class A Noteholders shall only have recourse to the Series 2013-B Collateral.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, dated as of _______ __, 2016, between Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. and referred to herein as the “Company”), and [__________] (“Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS, qualified persons are reluctant to serve corporations as directors or otherwise unless they are provided with broad indemnification and insurance against claims arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporations; and
WHEREAS, the Company has determined that attracting and retaining such persons is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to provide reasonable assurance regarding insurance;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms; Construction.
(a) Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Change in Control” means, and shall be deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acting in such capacity, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the board of directors of the Company or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of its assets, or (v) the Company shall file or have filed against it, and such filing shall not be dismissed, any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings, or a trustee, administrator or creditors committee shall be appointed to manage or supervise the affairs of the Company.
“Corporate Status” means the status of a person who is or was a director (or a member of any committee of a board of directors), officer, employee or agent (including without limitation a manager of a limited liability company) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or of any predecessor thereof, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director (or a member of any committee of a board of directors), officer, employee or agent (including without limitation a manager of a limited liability company) of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or of any predecessor thereof, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan.
“Determination” means a determination that either (x) there is a reasonable basis for the conclusion that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee met a particular standard of conduct (a “Favorable Determination”) or (y) there is no reasonable basis for the conclusion that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee met a particular standard of conduct (an “Adverse Determination”). An Adverse Determination shall include the decision that a Determination was required in connection with indemnification and the decision as to the applicable standard of conduct.
“DGCL” means the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time.
“Expenses” means all attorneys’ fees and expenses, retainers, court, arbitration and mediation costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, bonds, witness fees, costs of collecting and producing documents, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, appealing or otherwise participating in a Proceeding.
“Independent Legal Counsel” means an attorney or firm of attorneys competent to render an opinion under the applicable law, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(e), who has not otherwise performed any services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries or for Indemnitee within the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other Indemnitees under indemnity agreements similar to this Agreement).
“Proceeding” means a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including without limitation a claim, demand, discovery request, formal or informal investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, arbitration or other form of alternative dispute resolution, including an appeal from any of the foregoing.
“Voting Securities” means any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors.
(b) Construction. For purposes of this Agreement,
(i) References to the Company and any of its “subsidiaries” shall include any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise that before or after the date of this Agreement is party to a merger or consolidation with the Company or any such subsidiary or that is a successor to the Company as contemplated by Section 8(d) (whether or not such successor has executed and delivered the written agreement contemplated by Section 8(d)).
(ii) References to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan.
(iii) References to a “witness” in connection with a Proceeding shall include any interviewee or person called upon to produce documents in connection with such Proceeding.
2. Agreement to Serve.
Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries and in such other capacities as Indemnitee may serve at the request of the Company from time to time, and by its execution of this Agreement the Company confirms its request that Indemnitee serve as a director and in such other capacities. Indemnitee shall be entitled to resign or otherwise terminate such service with immediate effect at any time, and neither such resignation or termination nor the length of such service shall affect Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall not constitute an employment agreement, supersede any employment agreement to which Indemnitee is a party or create any right of Indemnitee to continued employment or appointment.
3. Indemnification.
(a) General Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, against Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges in connection therewith) incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status.
(b) Additional Indemnification Regarding Expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any Proceeding is initiated by Indemnitee or the Company or any of its subsidiaries to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any rights of Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (or related obligations of Indemnitee) under the Company’s or any such subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and the Company or any of its subsidiaries are party, any vote of stockholders or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding, whether or not Indemnitee is successful in such Proceeding, except to the extent that the court presiding over
such Proceeding determines that material assertions made by Indemnitee in such Proceeding were in bad faith or were frivolous.
(c) Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of any Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred by Indemnitee, but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for such portion.
(d) Other Rights to Indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and costs provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy; provided that (i) to the extent that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the Company and by any shareholder of the Company or any affiliate (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) of any such shareholder or any insurer under a policy procured by any such shareholder or affiliate, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be primary and the obligations of such shareholder, affiliate or insurer secondary, and (ii) the Company shall not be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against such shareholder, affiliate or insurer.
(e) Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated under the Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee:
(i) For Expenses incurred in connection with Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim, except (x) as contemplated by Section 3(b), (y) in specific cases if the board of directors of the Company has approved the initiation or bringing of such Proceeding, and (z) as may be required by law.
(ii) For any profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute that the Company is entitled thereunder to recover from Indemnitee.
(f) Subrogation. Except as set forth in Section 3(d)(ii) of this Agreement, in the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute such documents and do such acts as the Company may reasonably request to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
4. Advancement of Expenses.
The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, other than a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee for which the Company would not be
obligated to indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3(e)(i), in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding and without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses and without regard to whether an Adverse Determination has been made, except as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5(f). Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest.
5. Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Notice of Proceeding; Cooperation. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Agreement unless and to the extent that (i) none of the Company and its subsidiaries are party to or aware of such Proceeding and (ii) the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure.
(b) Settlement. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Request for Payment; Timing of Payment. To obtain indemnification payments or advances under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by the Company and reasonably available to Indemnitee. The Company shall make indemnification payments to Indemnitee no later than 30 days, and advances to Indemnitee no later than five business days, after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee.
(d) Determination. The Company intends that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law as provided in Section 3 and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such indemnification. In no event shall a Determination be required in connection with advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4 or in connection with indemnification for Expenses incurred as a witness or incurred in connection with any Proceeding or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise. Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any other indemnification of Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within 30 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, as follows:
(i) If no Change in Control has occurred, (w) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (x) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (y) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee, or (z) by the stockholders of the Company.
(ii) If a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee.
The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Determination.
(e) Independent Legal Counsel. If there has not been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of the Company and approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If there has been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to its engagement.
(f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of Indemnitee. The Company shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason the Company does not make timely indemnification payments or advances of Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the Company to make such payments or advances. Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a Proceeding in accordance with Section 3(b) and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section 4. If Indemnitee fails to challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld (including, if applicable, by reason of such challenge having been untimely) by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee under this Agreement.
(g) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any Determination, or any review of any Determination, by any person, including a court:
(i) It shall be a presumption that a Determination is not required.
(ii) It shall be a presumption that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct and that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances.
(iii) The burden of proof shall be on the Company to overcome the presumptions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and each such presumption shall be overcome only if the Company establishes that there is no reasonable basis to support it.
(iv) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that indemnification is not proper or that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or otherwise.
(v) Neither the failure of any person or persons to have made a Determination nor an Adverse Determination by any person or persons shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct, and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5(f) shall be de novo with respect to all determinations of fact and law.
6. Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.
(a) Maintenance of Insurance. For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Proceeding indemnifiable hereunder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for Indemnitee of the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Upon request, the Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials, and will notify Indemnitee of any material changes that have been made to such documents. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the directors and officers of the Company most favorably insured by such policy.
(b) Notice to Insurers. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 5(a), the Company shall give or cause to be given prompt notice of such Proceeding to all insurers providing liability insurance in accordance with the procedures set forth in all applicable or potentially applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary action to cause such insurers to pay all amounts payable in accordance with the terms of such policies.
7. Exculpation, etc.
(a) Limitation of Liability. Indemnitee shall not be personally liable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to the stockholders of the Company or any such subsidiary for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the Company or any such subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of the Indemnitee (i) for any breach of the Indemnitee's duty of loyalty to the Company or such subsidiary or the stockholders thereof; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or any similar provision of other applicable corporations law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL or such other applicable law shall be amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Indemnitee shall, automatically, without any further action, be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or such other applicable law as so amended.
(b) Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries against Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators or assigns after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period, provided that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
(b) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, (ii) on the first business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier service or (iii) on the third business day following the date of mailing if delivered by domestic registered or certified mail, properly addressed, or on the fifth business day following the date of mailing if sent by
airmail from a country outside of North America, to Indemnitee as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, to the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or in either case as subsequently modified by written notice.
(c) Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns, including without limitation any acquiror of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business and any survivor of any merger or consolidation to which the Company is party, and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators and assigns. The Company shall require and cause any such successor, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as if it were named as the Company herein, and the Company shall not permit any such purchase of assets or business, acquisition of securities or merger or consolidation to occur until such written agreement has been executed and delivered. No such assumption and agreement shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by the Company.
(e) Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.
(f) Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto, provided that the provisions hereof shall not supersede the provisions of the Company’s respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL or other applicable law, to the extent any such provisions shall be more favorable to Indemnitee than the provisions hereof.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
(h) Effectiveness. Without limiting anything in this agreement, the indemnification and other rights provided to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall
apply to all acts or omissions of the Indemnitee from and after the time that the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status first commenced.
