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/B Advance Request.

Proceeds from any Class A Advance shall be deposited into the Series 2020-1 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 (x) the Series 2020-1 Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred on or prior to such Class A Delayed Funding Date or (y) HVIF would be able to satisfy the Class A Funding Conditions on such Class A Delayed Funding Date.

(b) Class B Advances.
(i) Class B Advance Requests. Subject to the terms of this Series 2020-1 Supplement, including satisfaction of the Class B Funding Conditions, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class B Notes may be increased from time to time.

Whenever HVIF wishes the Class B Noteholders to make a Class B Advance, HVIF shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and each Class B Noteholder by providing written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Trustee and such Class B Noteholders no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the seventh (7th) Business Day prior to the proposed Class B Advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Series 2020-1 Supplement and specify the aggregate amount of the requested Class B Advance to be made on such date; provided, however, if HVIF receives a Class B Delayed Funding Notice in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(iv) by 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Class B Advance, HVIF shall have the right to revoke the Class A/B Advance Request with respect to the requested Class B Advance by providing the Administrative Agent and each Class B Noteholder (with a copy to the Trustee) written notice, by telecopy or electronic mail, of such revocation no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Class B Advance.

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 A/B Advance Request.

No Series 2020-1 Noteholder may have more than one Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder at any time. Such designation may occur by execution by such parties of a Designation Agreement, delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer for their acceptance. Upon receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder and a designee representing that it is a Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder and consented to by the Issuer, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and will give prompt notice thereof to the Issuer and the other Series 2020-1 Noteholders, whereupon, (i) the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder a Designated Series 2020-1 Note payable to the order of the Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder shall become a party to this Series 2020-1 Supplement with a right to make Class A Advances or Class B Advances, as applicable, on behalf of its Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (b), and (iii) the Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Series 2020-1 Supplement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder which are then due and payable, provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder, the Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder shall be and remain obligated to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Series 2020-1 Noteholders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder and its related Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder with respect to this Series 2020-1 Supplement and any sums otherwise payable to the Issuer by the Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder.

Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by a Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder, or specified branch or affiliate thereof, as administrative agent for its Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder and need not be signed by such Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder on its own behalf. The Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Controlling Party and the Series 2020-1 Noteholders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Series 2020-1 Noteholder may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Related Document, other than via an assignment to its Designating Series 2020-1 Noteholder or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2.

(e) Breakage. If any Class A Advance or Class B Advance is rejected or canceled by the Issuer after a request has been made to the Series 2020-1 Noteholders, the Issuer shall reimburse each such Series 2020-1 Noteholder on the next succeeding Payment Date for any associated Breakage Costs payable as a result of such request for such Class A Advance or Class B Advance.

(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 HVIF, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and HVIF 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) Each Foreign Affected Person shall execute and deliver to HVIF, 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 HVIF may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8BEN-E, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-9, or successor applicable forms, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. HVIF shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 3.6 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.
14
(d) 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 3.6, it shall pay over such refund to HVIF (but only to the extent of amounts paid under this Section 3.6 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 HVIF, upon the request of the Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to HVIF (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.

Section 3.7. Series 2020-1 Carrying Charges; Survival. Any amounts payable by HVIF under the Specified Cost Sections shall constitute Series 2020-1 Carrying Charges.

Section 3.8. 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 HVIF pursuant to such Specified Cost Section.
(b) In determining any amounts payable to it by HVIF pursuant to any Specified Cost Section, each Affected Person shall treat HVIF 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 HVIF is treated the same as, or better than, all such other similarly situated Persons with respect to such other similar transactions.
Section 3.9. Timing Threshold for Specified Cost Section. Notwithstanding anything in this Series 2020-1 Supplement to the contrary, HVIF 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 HVIF 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 HVIF hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

18
(v) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order or instructions from the Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Series 2020-1 Accounts or any instruction with respect to the disposition of funds therein, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order or instruction without further consent by HVIF or the HVIF Administrator;
(vi) The Series 2020-1 Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement. For purposes of the New York UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 and Section 8-110 of the New York UCC) and the Series 2020-1 Accounts (as well as the “securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC and in the applicable federal book-entry regulations) related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;

(viii) Except for the claims and interest of the Trustee and HVIF in the Series 2020-1 Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Series 2020-1 Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge of the assertion by any other person of any lien, encumbrance, or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Series 2020-1 Account or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Trustee, the HVIF Administrator and HVIF thereof.
(c) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2020-1 Accounts and in all Proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate Entitlement Orders in respect of the Series 2020-1 Accounts.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or this Section 4.3 to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that as permitted by Section 8-504(c)(1) of the New York UCC, with respect to any Series 2020-1 Account, the Securities Intermediary may satisfy the duty in Section 8-504(a) of the New York UCC with respect to any cash credited to such Series 2020-1 Account by crediting such Series 2020-1 Account a general unsecured claim against the Securities Intermediary, as a bank, payable on demand, for the amount of such cash.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or this Section 4.3 to the contrary, with respect to any Series 2020-1 Account and any credit balances not constituting Financial Assets credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary shall be acting as a bank (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) if such Series 2020-1 Account is deemed not to constitute a securities account.
(f) As permitted by Article 4 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the “Hague Convention”), the parties hereto agree that the law of the State of New York shall govern the issues specified in Article 2 of the Hague Convention. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as an amendment to any other account agreement governing the Series 2020-1 Accounts.

Section 4.4. Demand Notes.
(a) Trustee Authorized to Make Demands. The Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2020-1 Noteholders, shall be the only Person authorized to make a demand for payment on any Series 2020-1 Demand Note.
(b) Modification of Demand Note. Other than pursuant to a payment made upon a demand thereon by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5(c), HVIF shall not reduce the amount of any Series 2020-1 Demand Note or forgive amounts payable thereunder so that the aggregate undrawn principal amount of the Series 2020-1 Demand Notes after such forgiveness or reduction is less than the greater of (i) the Series 2020-1 Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount as of the date of such reduction or forgiveness and (ii) an amount equal to 0.50% of the Series 2020-1 Principal Amount as of the date of such reduction or forgiveness. Other than in connection with a reduction or forgiveness in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4.4(b) or an increase in the stated amount of any Series 2020-1 Demand Note, HVIF shall not agree to any amendment of any Series 2020-1 Demand Note without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Series 2020-1 Required Noteholders.
Section 4.5. Subordination. The Series-Specific 2020-1 Collateral has been pledged to the Trustee to secure the Series 2020-1 Notes. For all purposes hereunder and for the avoidance of doubt, the Series-Specific 2020-1 Collateral and each Series 2020-1 Letter of Credit will be held by the Trustee solely for the benefit of the Series 2020-1 Noteholders, and no HVIF Noteholder of any Series of HVIF Notes other than the Series 2020-1 Notes will have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Series-Specific 2020-1 Collateral or any Series 2020-1 Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, if it is determined that the Series 2020-1 Noteholders have any right, title or interest in, to or under the HVIF Collateral with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes other than Series 2020-1 Notes, then the Series 2020-1 Noteholders agree that their right, title and interest in, to or under such HVIF Collateral shall be subordinate in all respects to the claims or rights of the HVIF Noteholders with respect to such other Series of HVIF Notes, and in such case, this Series 2020-1 Supplement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 4.6. Duty of the Trustee. Except for actions expressly authorized by the Base Indenture or this Series 2020-1 Supplement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created hereunder in any of the Series-Specific 2020-1 Collateral now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any of the Series-Specific 2020-1 Collateral now existing or hereafter created.

Each Series 2020-1 Noteholder expressly acknowledge that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of HVIF, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Series 2020-1 Noteholder represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that they have and will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as they have deemed appropriate, made their own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of HVIF and made its own decision to enter into this Series 2020-1 Supplement.
Section 10.6. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may purchase, hold and transfer, as the case may be, Series 2020-1 Notes, and may otherwise make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with HVIF or any Affiliate of HVIF as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to HVIF, the Controlling Party and each of the Series 2020-1 Noteholders, and the Administrative Agent will, upon the direction of the Controlling Party, resign as Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Controlling Party, during such 30-day period, shall appoint one of its Affiliates or an Affiliate of a Series 2020-1 Noteholder as a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Controlling Party during such 30-day period, then effective upon the expiration of such 30-day period, HVIF for all purposes shall deal directly with the Controlling Party and the Series 2020-1 Noteholders or appoint a successor Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of Section 11.4 and this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Series 2020-1 Supplement.

CERTIFICATE FOR TRANSFER OF CLASS B NOTE
Reference is made to the Series 2020-1 Supplement, dated as of November 25, 2020 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Hertz Vehicle Interim Financing LLC (“HVIF”) as Issuer, The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz”), as HVIF Administrator, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, Apollo Capital Management, L.P., as Controlling Party, the certain noteholders party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, to the Base Indenture, dated as of November 25, 2020 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, exclusive of Series Supplements, the “Base Indenture”), between HVIF and the Trustee.
In connection with the transfer of the Class B Note or any beneficial interest therein to [transferee] (the “Transferee”), the Transferee does hereby represent that:
(1) | the Transferee is, and will not acquire such Class B Note or interest therein on behalf of a person who is not, a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code; |
(2) | (A) (1) for so long as the Transferee holds such Class B Note (or a beneficial interest therein), it is not, and will not acquire such Class B Note or interest therein on behalf of, or with the assets of, any person that is classified for U.S. federal tax purposes as a partnership, subchapter S corporation or grantor trust, or (2)(I) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in the Transferee have or ever will have more than 50% of the value of its interest in the Transferee attributable to the aggregate interest in the Transferee in the combined value of the Class B Notes and any other interests of HVIF held by the Transferee, and (II) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of the Transferee in the Class B Notes and any equity interests of HVIF to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii), or (B) the Transferee will deliver a written opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel that such transfer will not cause HVIF to be classified as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation; |
(3) | the Transferee will not sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or cause to be marketed any Class B Note or any equity interest in HVIF, (A) on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(b), including without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (B) if such acquisition would cause the combined number of holders of Class B Notes and any equity interests in HVIF (provided that solely for this purpose, equity interests shall include any currently existing or future existing classes of notes for which an opinion that such notes “will” be treated as debt at the time of issuance for U.S. federal income tax purposes was not or will not be rendered) to be held by more than 90 persons; |
(4) | the Transferee is not, and is not acting on behalf of (and for so long as it holds any Class B Notes or interests therein will not be and will not be acting on behalf of), a Benefit Plan Investor or Controlling Person, unless it obtains the written consent of the Issuer and provides an ERISA certificate substantially in the form attached hereto (Form of ERISA Certificate) to the Issuer as to its status as a Benefit Plan Investor or Controlling Person; and |

Form of ERISA Certificate
The purpose of this ERISA Certificate (this “Certificate”) is, among other things, to obtain from you certain representations and agreements information with respect to your acquisition, holding and disposition of the Class B Notes. By signing this Certificate, you agree to be bound by its terms.
Please be aware that the information contained in this Certificate is not intended to constitute advice and the examples given below are not intended to be, and are not, comprehensive. You should contact your own counsel if you have any questions in completing this Certificate. Capitalized terms not defined in this Certificate shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Base Indenture and the Series 2020-1 Supplement.
If a box is not checked, you are representing, warranting and agreeing that the applicable Section does not, and will not, apply to you.
1 | ¨ | Employee Benefit Plans Subject to ERISA or the Code. We, or the entity on whose behalf we are acting, are an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code. |
Examples: (i) tax qualified retirement plans such as pension, profit sharing and section 401(k) plans, (ii) welfare benefit plans such as accident, life and medical plans, (iii) individual retirement accounts or “IRAs” and “Xxxxx” plans and (iv) certain tax-qualified educational and savings trusts.
2 | ¨ | Entity Holding Plan Assets. We, or the entity on whose behalf we are acting, are an entity or fund whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of a Benefit Plan Investor’s investment in such entity. |
Examples: (i) an insurance company separate account, (ii) a bank collective trust fund and (iii) a hedge fund or other private investment vehicle where 25 per cent. or more of the total value of any class of its equity is held by Benefit Plan Investors.
If you check Box 2, please indicate the maximum percentage of the entity or fund that will constitute “plan assets” for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code: ______ per cent.
AN ENTITY OR FUND THAT CANNOT PROVIDE THE FOREGOING PERCENTAGE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER BENEFIT PLAN INVESTORS OWN LESS THAN 25 PER CENT. OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE CLASS B NOTES, 100 PER CENT. OF THE ASSETS OF THE ENTITY OR FUND WILL BE TREATED AS “PLAN ASSETS.”
ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder are technical. Accordingly, if you have any questions regarding whether you may be an entity described in this Section 2, you should consult with your counsel.
3 | ¨ | Insurance Company General Account. We, or the entity on whose behalf we are acting, are an insurance company purchasing the Class B Notes with funds from our or their general account (i.e., the insurance company’s corporate investment portfolio), whose assets, in whole or in part, constitute “plan assets” for purposes of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Asset Regulations”). |
N-3
If you check Box 3, please indicate the maximum percentage of the insurance company general account that will constitute “plan assets” for purposes of conducting the 25 per cent. test under the Plan Asset Regulations: ____ per cent. IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PERCENTAGE IN THE BLANK SPACE, YOU WILL BE COUNTED AS IF YOU FILLED IN 100 PER CENT. IN THE BLANK SPACE.
4 | o | None of Sections (1) through (3) Above Applies. We, or the entity on whose behalf we are acting, are a person that does not fall into any of the categories described in Sections (1) through (3) above. If, after the date hereof, any of the categories described in Sections (1) through (3) above would apply, we will promptly notify the Issuer of such change. |
5 | No Prohibited Transaction. If we checked any of the boxes in Sections (1) through (3) above, we represent, warrant and agree that our acquisition, holding and disposition of the Class B Notes (or interests therein) will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. |
6 | Not Subject to Similar Law and No Violation of Other Plan Law. If we are a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan, we represent, warrant and agree that (a) we are not subject to any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law or regulation that could cause the underlying assets of the Issuer to be treated as assets of the investor in any Note (or interest therein) by virtue of its interest and thereby subject the Issuer (or other persons responsible for the investment and operation of the Issuer’s assets) to laws or regulations that are substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, and (b) our acquisition, holding and disposition of the Class B Notes (or interests therein) will not constitute or result in a violation of any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law or regulation that is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code. |
7 | o | Controlling Person. We are, or we are acting on behalf of any of: (i) the Collateral Manager, (ii) any person that has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the Issuer, (iii) any person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets or (iv) any “affiliate” of any of the above persons. “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan Asset Regulations. Any of the persons described in the first sentence of this Section 7 is referred to in this Certificate as a “Controlling Person.” |
Note: We understand that, for purposes of determining whether Benefit Plan Investors hold less than 25 per cent. of the total value of the Class B Notes, the Class B Notes held by Controlling Persons (other than Benefit Plan Investors) are required to be disregarded.
8 | Plan Fiduciary. If we are a Benefit Plan Investor, we represent, warrant and agree that (i) the Issuer has not provided, and it will not provide, any investment recommendation or investment advice on which it, or any fiduciary or other person investing the assets of the Benefit Plan Investor (“Plan Fiduciary”), has relied as a primary basis in connection with its decision to invest in the Class B Notes, and they are not otherwise undertaking to act as a fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code, to the Benefit Plan Investor or the Plan Fiduciary in connection with the Benefit Plan Investor’s acquisition of the Class B Notes; and (ii) the Plan Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Class B Notes. |

9 | Continuing Representation; Reliance. We acknowledge and agree that the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements contained in this Certificate shall be deemed made on each day from the date we make such representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements through and including the date on which we dispose of our Class B Notes (or our interests therein). We understand and agree that the information supplied in this Certificate will be used and relied upon by the Issuer to determine that Benefit Plan Investors own or hold less than 25 per cent. of the total value of the Class B Notes, upon any subsequent transfer of the Class B in accordance with the Base Indenture and the Series 2020-1 Supplement. |
10 | Further Acknowledgement and Agreement. We acknowledge and agree that (i) all of the assurances contained in this Certificate are for the benefit of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Controlling Party and the HVIF Administrator as third party beneficiaries hereof, (ii) copies of this Certificate and any information contained herein may be provided to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Controlling Party and the HVIF Administrator, affiliates of any of the foregoing parties and to each of the foregoing parties’ respective counsel for purposes of making the determinations described above and (iii) any acquisition or transfer of the Class B Notes (or interests therein) by us that is not in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate shall be null and void from the beginning, and of no legal effect. |
