(a) Each Series of HVIF Notes shall, upon issue pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Base Indenture, be executed on behalf of HVIF by an Authorized Officer and delivered by HVIF to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided herein. If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on an HVIF Note no longer holds that office at the time the HVIF Note is authenticated, such HVIF Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, HVIF may deliver HVIF Notes of any particular Series of HVIF Notes executed by HVIF to the Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Company Orders for the authentication and delivery of such HVIF Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order and this Base Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such HVIF Notes.

(c) No HVIF Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Base Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such HVIF Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, duly authenticated by the Trustee by the manual, facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or electronic signature of a Trust Officer. Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the HVIF Note has been duly authenticated under this Base Indenture. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to HVIF to authenticate HVIF Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate HVIF Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Base Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

	This is one of the HVIF Notes of a Series of HVIF Notes issued under the within mentioned Indenture.

	THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Trustee

	By:
		Authorized Signatory

(d) Each HVIF Note shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any HVIF Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by HVIF, and HVIF shall deliver such HVIF Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14 of this Base Indenture together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 13.3 of this Base Indenture and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such HVIF Note has never been issued and sold by HVIF, for all purposes of this Base Indenture such HVIF Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Base Indenture.

(f) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any HVIF Notes under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, based on the written advice of counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken.

Section 2.5. Registrar and Paying Agent.

HVIF shall (i) maintain an office or agency where HVIF Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) of this Base Indenture (“Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency HVIF Notes may be presented for payment. The Registrar shall keep a register of the HVIF Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). HVIF may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. HVIF may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any HVIF Noteholder. HVIF shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the HVIF Notes.

Section 2.6. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

(a) HVIF shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, that such Paying Agent shall:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the HVIF Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by HVIF of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the HVIF Notes;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of HVIF Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any HVIF Notes of any applicable withholding

(vi) taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

(b) HVIF at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Base Indenture or for any other purpose, by Company Order may direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any HVIF Note and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to HVIF on Company Request; and the HVIF Noteholder of such HVIF Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to HVIF for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to HVIF), and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, at the expense of HVIF, may cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London and Luxembourg (if the related Series of HVIF Notes has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), if applicable, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to HVIF. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of HVIF, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment.

Section 2.7. Noteholder List.

The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished by the Registrar to HVIF or the Paying Agent, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from HVIF or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as HVIF or the Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the HVIF Noteholders of each Series of HVIF Notes as of the most recent Record Date for payments to such HVIF Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, any Controlling Party or holders of HVIF Notes of any Series of HVIF Notes having an aggregate Principal Amount of not less than 25% of the aggregate Principal Amount of such Series of HVIF Notes (the “Applicants”) may apply in writing to the Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other HVIF Noteholders of any Series of HVIF Notes with respect to their rights under this Base Indenture or under the HVIF Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses and thereafter promptly after the receipt of such application (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after having been so indemnified following such receipt), shall afford or shall cause the Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of HVIF Noteholders held by the Trustee and shall give HVIF notice that such request has been made. Such list shall be as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request. Every HVIF Noteholder, by receiving and holding an HVIF Note, agrees with the Trustee that none of the Trustee, the Registrar, or any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the HVIF Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

Section 2.8. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any HVIF Note at the office or agency of the Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) of this Base Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, HVIF shall execute and after HVIF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the HVIF Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new HVIF Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like Principal Amount. At the option of any HVIF Noteholder, HVIF Notes may be exchanged for other HVIF Notes of the same Series of HVIF Notes and Class in authorized denominations of like Principal Amount, upon surrender of the HVIF Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever HVIF Notes of any Series of HVIF Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, HVIF shall execute and after HVIF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the HVIF Noteholder, the HVIF Notes that the HVIF Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

HVIF shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, HVIF Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Base Indenture and the HVIF Notes.

(c) All HVIF Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the HVIF Notes shall be the valid obligations of HVIF, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Base Indenture, as the related HVIF Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any HVIF Note of any Series of HVIF Notes for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for payment in full of the HVIF Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes.

(e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, no service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of HVIF Notes, but HVIF or the Registrar may require payment by the HVIF Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of HVIF Notes.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, registration of transfer of HVIF Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such HVIF Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such applicable HVIF Series Supplement are satisfied. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8 and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13 of this Base Indenture, the typewritten HVIF Note or HVIF Notes representing Book-Entry Notes for any Series of HVIF Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Clearing Agency for such Series of HVIF Notes, or to a successor Clearing Agency for such Series of HVIF Notes selected or approved by HVIF or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency, only if in accordance with this Section 2.8 and Section 2.12 of this Base Indenture.

(g) If the HVIF Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Trustee or the Luxembourg agent (the “Luxembourg Agent”), as the case may be, shall send to HVIF upon any transfer or exchange of any HVIF Note information reflected in the copy of the register for the HVIF Notes maintained by the Registrar or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be.

(h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Base Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any HVIF Note (including any transfers between or among Clearing Agency Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any global HVIF Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Base Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(i) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Clearing Agency.

Section 2.9. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any HVIF Note, the Trustee, any Agent and HVIF may deem and treat the Person in whose name any HVIF Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the absolute owner of such HVIF Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such HVIF Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such HVIF Note is overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor HVIF shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10. Replacement Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated HVIF Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any HVIF Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold HVIF and the Trustee harmless then, provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, HVIF shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Note, a replacement HVIF Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Note, but not a mutilated HVIF Note, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement HVIF Note, HVIF may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement HVIF Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the original HVIF Note in lieu of which such replacement HVIF Note was issued presents for payment such original HVIF Note, HVIF and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement HVIF Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement HVIF Note from such Person to whom such replacement HVIF Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by HVIF or the Trustee in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement HVIF Note under this Section 2.10, HVIF may require the payment by the HVIF Noteholder of such HVIF Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

(c) Every replacement HVIF Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Base Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other HVIF Notes of the same Class and Series of HVIF Notes duly issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Notes.

Section 2.11. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the HVIF Noteholders of the required Principal Amount of HVIF Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, HVIF Notes owned by HVIF or any Affiliate of HVIF (other than an Affiliate Issuer) shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only HVIF Notes of which a Trust Officer has received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded. Absent written notice to the Trustee of such ownership, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual owners of the HVIF Notes.

Section 2.12. Book-Entry Notes.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in any applicable HVIF Series Supplement, the HVIF Notes of each Series of HVIF Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten HVIF Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the depository specified in such HVIF Series Supplement (the “Depository”) which shall be the Clearing Agency on behalf of such Series of HVIF Notes. The HVIF Notes of each Series of HVIF Notes shall, unless otherwise provided in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing Agency. No Note Owner will receive a definitive note representing such Note Owner’s interest in the related Series of HVIF Notes, except as provided in Section 2.13 of this Base Indenture. Unless and until definitive, fully registered HVIF Notes of any Series of HVIF Notes (“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Base Indenture:

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.12 conflict with any other provisions of this Base Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall control with respect to each such Series of HVIF Notes;

(iv) the rights of Note Owners of each such Series of HVIF Notes shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Base Indenture to actions by the HVIF Noteholders (or the portion of the HVIF Noteholders represented by the HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes) shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Base Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the HVIF Noteholders (or the portion of the HVIF Noteholders represented by the HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes) shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency, as registered holder of the HVIF Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes, for distribution to the Note Owners in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing Agency; and

(v) whenever this Base Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of HVIF Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding HVIF Notes, the applicable Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or their related Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Outstanding HVIF Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.

Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series of HVIF Notes, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Base Indenture, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the HVIF Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants.

(b) Whenever notice or other communication to any HVIF Noteholder is required under this Base Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to the Note Owner with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Base Indenture, the Trustee and HVIF shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to such HVIF Noteholder to the applicable Clearing Agency for distribution to such Note Owner.

Section 2.13. Definitive Notes.

(a) The HVIF Notes of any Series of HVIF Notes, to the extent provided in the related HVIF Series Supplement, upon original issuance, may be issued in the form of Definitive Notes. The applicable HVIF Series Supplement shall set forth the legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Definitive Notes and such other restrictions as may be applicable.

(b) With respect to the HVIF Notes of any Series of HVIF Notes issued in the form of typewritten HVIF Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, if:

(i) both (A) HVIF advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement and (B) the Trustee or HVIF is unable to locate a qualified successor;

(ii) HVIF, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding; or

(iii) during the continuance of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding, the Requisite HVIF Investors advise the Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency through the Note Owners and applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all Clearing Agency Participants who hold such Series of HVIF Notes, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners of such Series of HVIF Notes. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the HVIF Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes by the applicable Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency for registration, HVIF shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order, and deliver Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither HVIF nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may each conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall recognize the HVIF Noteholders of the Definitive Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes as HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes hereunder.

Section 2.14. Cancellation.

HVIF may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any HVIF Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which HVIF may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all HVIF Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any HVIF Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all HVIF Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and the principal of and all accrued interest on all such cancelled HVIF Notes shall be deemed to have been paid in full (and such payment of principal and interest shall be deemed to have been made to the relevant HVIF Noteholders) and such cancelled HVIF Notes shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding for all purposes hereunder. HVIF may not issue new HVIF Notes to replace HVIF Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled HVIF Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s standard disposition procedures unless HVIF shall direct that cancelled HVIF Notes be returned to it pursuant to a Company Order.

Section 2.15. Principal and Interest.

(a) The principal of each Series of HVIF Notes shall be payable at the times and in the amount set forth in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement.

Any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such HVIF Note is payable.

(d) If HVIF defaults in the payment of interest on the HVIF Notes of any Series of HVIF Notes, such interest, to the extent paid on any date that is more than five (5) Business Days after the applicable due date, at the option of HVIF, shall cease to be payable to the Persons who were HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes on the applicable Record Date and HVIF shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner, plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes on a subsequent special record date which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date, at the rate provided in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement and in the HVIF Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes. HVIF shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, and at least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, HVIF (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of HVIF) shall deliver to the HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.16. Tax Treatment.

HVIF has structured this Base Indenture and each existing HVIF Series Supplement and will structure each future HVIF Series Supplement and the HVIF Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the HVIF Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any HVIF Note by acceptance of its HVIF Notes (or, in the case of a Note Owner, by virtue of such Note Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the HVIF Notes (or beneficial interests therein) for purposes of federal, state and local and income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness.

For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the rights of the Trustee or the Lessor under the HVIF Lease, so long as no Servicer Default, Amortization Event, Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, HVIF shall not be required to take any action or exercise any rights, remedies, powers or privileges with respect to any Manufacturer to the extent the Servicer determines that such inaction or failure to exercise is in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The assignment of the HVIF Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of the HVIF Noteholders and the Trustee shall not (i) relieve HVIF from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on HVIF’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Lease Related Agreements or any of the Manufacturer Programs or from any liability to any Person thereunder or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any such HVIF Noteholders to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on HVIF’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee or any of the HVIF Noteholders for any act or omission on the part of HVIF or from any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of HVIF.

The indemnification provided for in this Section 3.2(c) shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, such Person as Trustee as well as the termination of this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement.

Section 3.3. Performance of Related Documents.

Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Liquidation Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a default or breach by any Person party to any Related Document or a Manufacturer Program, promptly following a request from the Trustee or the Collateral Agent (in each case, acting at the direction of a Controlling Party, the Required Noteholders or the Requisite HVIF Investors, as applicable) or a Controlling Party to do so and at HVIF’s expense, HVIF agrees to take all such lawful action HVIF determines to be reasonably necessary to compel or secure the performance and observance by: (i) Hertz Vehicles LLC, HGI, the HVIF Administrator, the Servicer, the Lessee, or any other party to any of the Related Documents of its obligations to HVIF, solely to the extent that such obligations relate to or otherwise affect the HVIF Collateral or the HVIF Note Obligations, and (ii) a Manufacturer under a Manufacturer Program of its obligations to HVIF, solely to the extent that such obligations relate to or otherwise affect the HVIF Collateral, including, without limitation, any obligations of such Manufacturer to HGI or Hertz, as applicable, that have been assigned to HVIF and constitute a part of the HVIF Collateral, in each case in accordance with the applicable terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges relating to the HVIF Collateral as are lawfully available to HVIF to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent (in each case, acting at the direction of a Controlling Party, the Required Noteholders or the Requisite HVIF Investors, as applicable), including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by Hertz Vehicles LLC, HGI, the HVIF Administrator, the Servicer, the Lessee, or such other party to any of the Related Documents or by a Manufacturer under a Manufacturer Program, of their respective obligations thereunder.

ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF HVIF COLLECTIONS

Section 5.1. HVIF Collection Account.

(a) Establishment of HVIF Collection Account. On or prior to the Initial HVIF Closing Date, HVIF, the Securities Intermediary and the Trustee shall have established a securities account no. 781332 (such account, or if succeeded or replaced by another account then such successor or replacement account, the “HVIF Collection Account”) in the name of, and under the control of, the Trustee that shall be maintained for the benefit of the HVIF Noteholders. If at any time a Trust Officer obtains actual knowledge or receives written notice that the HVIF Collection Account is no longer an Eligible Account, the Trustee, within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge, shall cause the HVIF Collection Account to be moved to a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution and cause the depositary maintaining the new HVIF Collection Account to assume the obligations of the existing Securities Intermediary hereunder.

(b) Administration of the HVIF Collection Account. HVIF may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining the HVIF Collection Account to invest funds on deposit in such HVIF Collection Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment in the HVIF Collection Account shall mature not later than the Business Day following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in the HVIF Collection Account). Investments of funds on deposit in administrative sub-accounts of the HVIF Collection Account established in respect of particular HVIF Notes shall be required to mature on or before the dates specified in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the HVIF Collection Account shall remain uninvested. HVIF shall not direct the disposal of any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the initial purchase price of such Permitted Investment. The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses incurred as a result of investments made at the direction of HVIF, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor the investment rating or other eligibility requirements of any Permitted Investment.

(c) Earnings from HVIF Collection Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on amounts on deposit in or credited to the HVIF Collection Account shall be deemed to be available and on deposit for distribution.

(d) Establishment of Series Accounts. To the extent specified in the HVIF Series Supplement with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes, the Trustee may establish and maintain one or more Series Accounts and/or administrative sub-accounts of the HVIF Collection Account to facilitate the proper allocation of HVIF Collections in accordance with the terms of such HVIF Series Supplement.

Section 5.2. Trustee as Securities Intermediary.

(a) With respect to the HVIF Collection Account, the Trustee or other Person maintaining such HVIF Collection Account shall be the “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9- 102(a)(8) of the New York UCC), in such capacities, the “Securities Intermediary”) with respect to the HVIF Collection Account. If the Securities Intermediary is not the Trustee, HVIF shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 5.2.

(b) The Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i) The HVIF Collection Account is an account to which Financial Assets will be credited;

(ii) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the HVIF Collection Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the HVIF Collection Account be registered in the name of HVIF, payable to the order of HVIF or specially endorsed to HVIF;

(iii) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Base Indenture and all Permitted Investments thereof will be promptly credited to the HVIF Collection Account;

(iv) Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to the HVIF Collection Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

(v) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order or instruction from the Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the HVIF Collection Account or any instruction with respect to the disposition of funds therein, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order on instruction without further consent by HVIF or the HVIF Administrator;

(vi) The HVIF Collection Account 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 HVIF Collection Account (as well as the Security Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;

(vii) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Base Indenture, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the HVIF Collection Account and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with Entitlement Orders or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Base Indenture will not enter into, any agreement with HVIF purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with Entitlement Orders or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) as set forth in Section 5.2(b)(v) of this Base Indenture; and

(viii) Except for the claims and interest of the Trustee and HVIF in the HVIF Collection Account, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the HVIF Collection Account 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 the HVIF Collection 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 HVIF Collection Account and in all Proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate Entitlement Orders in respect of the HVIF Collection Account.

(d) The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements for the HVIF Collection Account, which statements shall reflect any Financial Assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of HVIF, the HVIF Administrator, and the Trustee at the addresses set forth in Section 13.1 of this Base Indenture.

(e) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the HVIF Collection Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the HVIF Noteholders and the Trustee. The Financial Assets and other items deposited to the HVIF Collection Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Trustee for the benefit of the HVIF Noteholders and the Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1 of this Base Indenture or this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that as permitted by Section 8-504(c)(1) of the New York UCC, with respect to the HVIF Collection Account, the Securities Intermediary may satisfy the duty in Section 8-504(a) of the New York UCC with respect to any cash to be credited to the HVIF Collection Account by crediting to such HVIF Collection Account a general unsecured claim against the Securities Intermediary, as a bank, payable on demand, for the amount of such cash.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1 of this Base Indenture or this Section 5.2 to the contrary, with respect to the HVIF Collection 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 the HVIF Collection Account is deemed not to constitute a securities account.

(h) 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 5.3. HVIF Collections and Allocations.

(a) HVIF Collections in General. Until this Base Indenture is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1 of this Base Indenture, HVIF shall, and the Trustee is authorized (upon written instructions) to, cause all HVIF Collections due and to become due to HVIF or the Trustee, as the case may be, to be deposited to the HVIF Collection Account at such times as such amounts are due in the following manner:

(i) all Incentive Rebate Receivables and all amounts due under or in connection with the HVIF Vehicle Collateral, including, without limitation, amounts due from Manufacturers and their related auctions dealers under their Manufacturer Programs with respect to the HVIF Vehicles, other than HVIF Excluded Payments and Permitted Check Payments, shall be deposited directly into a Collateral Account by the Manufacturers and the related auction dealers and shall be withdrawn from such Collateral Account and deposited either into the HVIF Collection Account within seven (7) Business Days of the deposit thereof into such Collateral Account;

(ii) all amounts representing the proceeds from sales of HVIF Vehicles to third parties, other than the Manufacturers or their auction dealers, and all amounts received by the Servicer in the form of Permitted Check Payments shall be deposited into a Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer and shall be withdrawn from a Collateral Account and either deposited into the HVIF Collection Account within seven (7) Business Days of the deposit thereof into a Collateral Account;

(iii) all insurance proceeds and warranty payments in respect of the HVIF Vehicles, other than HVIF Excluded Payments, shall be deposited into a Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer and shall be withdrawn from a Collateral Account and deposited into the HVIF Collection Account within seven (7) Business Days of the deposit thereof into a Collateral Account;

(vi) all HVIF Collections from any other source shall be either paid directly into the HVIF Collection Account at such times as such amounts are due or deposited by the Servicer into the HVIF Collection Account within seven (7) Business Days after deposit thereof into a Collateral Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes has occurred and is continuing, insurance proceeds and warranty payments with respect to the HVIF Vehicles shall not be required to be deposited in a Collateral Account or the HVIF Collection Account, and may be held by HVIF or paid to Hertz. HVIF agrees that if any HVIF Collections shall be received by HVIF in an account other than a Collateral Account or the HVIF Collection Account or in any other manner, such monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds will not be commingled by HVIF with any of its other funds or property, if any, but will be held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by HVIF for, and immediately (but in any event within two (2) Business Days from receipt) paid over to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, with any necessary endorsement. All HVIF Collections deposited into a Collateral Account shall be allocated and distributed to the Trustee as provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement. Subject to Section 9.11 of this Base Indenture, all monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds received by the Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture (including amounts received from the Collateral Agent) shall be immediately deposited in the HVIF Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in this Article V.

HVIF shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise provided in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement for any Series of HVIF Notes.

(c) Sharing HVIF Collections. In the manner described in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, to the extent that Principal Collections that are allocated to any Series of HVIF Notes on a Payment Date are not needed to make payments to HVIF Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes or required to be deposited in a Series Account for such Series of HVIF Notes on such Payment Date, such Principal Collections may, at the direction of HVIF, be applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of HVIF Noteholders of another Series of HVIF Notes. Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction in the Principal Amount of the Series of HVIF Notes to which such Principal Collections were initially allocated.

(d) Unallocated Principal Collections. If, after giving effect to Section 5.3(c) of this Base Indenture, Principal Collections allocated to any Series of HVIF Notes on any Payment Date are in excess of the amount required to be paid in respect of such Series of HVIF Notes on such Payment Date, then any such excess Principal Collections shall be allocated to HVIF or such other party as may be entitled thereto as set forth in any HVIF Series Supplement.

No security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or lien instrument or continuation statement listing HVIF as debtor covering all or any part of the HVIF Collateral is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except such as may have been filed, recorded or made by HVIF in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the HVIF Noteholders in connection with this Base Indenture or the Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral Agency Agreement, and HVIF has not authorized and is not aware of any such filing.

(g) This Base Indenture creates a valid and continuing Lien (as defined in the New York UCC) in the Account Collateral and the HVIF General Intangibles Collateral and all Proceeds thereof in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the HVIF Noteholders, which Lien is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from HVIF in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. All action necessary to perfect such first-priority security interest has been duly taken.

(h) The HVIF General Intangibles Collateral constitutes “general intangibles” within the meaning of the New York UCC.

(i) HVIF has caused or shall have caused, within ten (10) days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the HVIF General Intangibles Collateral granted to the Trustee in favor of the HVIF Noteholders hereunder.

If and whenever an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may and, at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors shall, exercise (or direct the Collateral Agent to exercise) from time to time any rights and remedies available to it on behalf of the HVIF Noteholders under applicable law or any Related Documents; provided, however, that if such Amortization Event is with respect to less than all Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding, then the Trustee’s rights and remedies pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall, to the extent not detrimental to the rights of the holders of the Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding with respect to which no Amortization Event shall have occurred, be limited to rights and remedies pertaining only to those Series of HVIF Notes with respect to which such Amortization Event has occurred and the Trustee shall exercise such rights and remedies at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors to the extent that such rights and remedies relate to the HVIF Collateral or the HVIF Note Obligations. Any amounts relating to the HVIF Collateral or the HVIF Note Obligations obtained by the Trustee (or by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Trustee) on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee of any right shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of HVIF Note Obligations and shall be applied as provided in Article V. If so specified in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, the Trustee may agree not to exercise any rights or remedies available to it as a result of the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to a Series of HVIF Notes to the extent set forth therein.

(b) Liquidation Event of Default; Limited Liquidation Event of Default. If a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors (in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default) or the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of HVIF Notes (in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default), shall direct HVIF and the Collateral Agent to exercise (and HVIF agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVIF relating to the HVIF Collateral against any party to any Related Documents arising as a result of the occurrence of such Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default, as the case may be, or otherwise, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to HVIF as such obligations relate to the HVIF Collateral and the right to terminate all or a portion of the HVIF Lease and to take possession of HVIF Vehicles (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, if no Back-Up Disposition Agent has been appointed, to retain an agent to take possession of the HVIF Vehicles) and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver in respect of such HVIF Lease, and any right of HVIF to take such action independent of such direction shall be suspended. If and whenever a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may and, at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors (in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default) or the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of HVIF Notes (in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default), shall direct HVIF to terminate (a) the Nominee Power of Attorney granted to Hertz and direct the Nominee to grant a Nominee Power of Attorney to HVIF, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or if no Back-Up Disposition Agent has been appointed, an agent of the Collateral Agent or Trustee, as specified by the Trustee, pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Nominee Agreement and/or (b) the Power of Attorney granted to Hertz pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Collateral Agency Agreement, in each case solely to the extent such powers of attorney relate to the HVIF Collateral.

(c) Manufacturer Programs and HVIF Vehicles. (i) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors, shall promptly (and in any event within any reasonably practicable period specified in such written direction) instruct the Collateral Agent to return or cause HVIF to return the Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers (after the minimum holding period specified in the Manufacturer’s Manufacturer Program and, unless otherwise directed by the Requisite HVIF Investors, so long as a Manufacturer Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing with respect to the related Manufacturer) and then, to the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Manufacturer Program (or, unless otherwise directed by the Requisite HVIF Investors, if a Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Manufacturer), to direct the Collateral Agent to liquidate or cause HVIF to liquidate such Program Vehicles in accordance with the rights of HVIF under the Related Documents and to otherwise sell or cause to be sold to third parties all Non-Program Vehicles; provided that the Collateral Agent may liquidate through any Back-Up Disposition Agent or, if no Back-Up Disposition Agent has been appointed, through an agent that has been appointed by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Controlling Party; provided, further, that in the event any such agent is required for a liquidation, the Controlling Party may direct the Collateral Agent to retain an agent that is mutually acceptable to the Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes, the Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of HVIF Notes, shall promptly (and in any event within any reasonably practicable period specified in such written direction) instruct the Collateral Agent to return or cause HVIF to return Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers (after the minimum holding period specified in the Manufacturer’s Manufacturer Program and, unless otherwise directed by such Required Noteholders, so long as a Manufacturer Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing with respect to the related Manufacturer) and then, to the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Manufacturer Program (or, unless otherwise directed by such Required Noteholders, if a Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Manufacturer), to direct the Collateral Agent to liquidate or cause HVIF to liquidate such Program Vehicles in accordance with the rights of HVIF under the Related Documents and to sell Non-Program Vehicles or cause Non-Program Vehicles to be sold to third parties in an amount sufficient to pay all interest and principal on such Series of HVIF Notes; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (in each case, acting at the direction of a Controlling Party) and HVIF shall select the Program Vehicles to be returned to the related Manufacturers and the Non-Program Vehicles to be sold to third parties in a manner that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the HVIF Noteholders of any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding or any Enhancement Provider; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent may liquidate through any Back-Up Disposition Agent or, if no Back-Up Disposition Agent has been appointed, through an agent that has been appointed by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Controlling Party; provided, further, that in the event any such agent is required for a liquidation, the Controlling Party may direct the Collateral Agent to retain an agent that is mutually acceptable to the Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent.

(ii) In addition to, and not in limitation of, the remedies and duties of the Trustee set forth in subsection (i) above or (iii) below, if a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors (in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default) or at the direction of the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of HVIF Notes (in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default) shall direct the Collateral Agent to exercise (either by itself or acting through the Back-Up Disposition Agent), or cause HVIF to exercise, to the extent necessary, all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVIF or the Collateral Agent, to the extent such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims relate to the HVIF Collateral, against the Manufacturers under or in connection with the Manufacturer Programs; provided, that the Collateral Agent may liquidate through any Back-Up Disposition Agent or, if no Back-Up Disposition Agent has been appointed, through an agent that has been appointed by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Controlling Party; provided, further, that in the event any such agent is required for a liquidation, the Controlling Party may direct the Collateral Agent to retain an agent that is mutually acceptable to the Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent.

(iii) In the event that either (A) an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to any Manufacturer of Program Vehicles shall have occurred and is continuing and such Manufacturer shall fail to repurchase any Program Vehicles in accordance with the terms of the related Manufacturer Program and a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or (B) if there has occurred and is continuing any other Manufacturer Event of Default and a Trust Officer has knowledge thereof, the Trustee (at the written direction of a Controlling Party, the Required Noteholders or the Requisite HVIF Investors, as applicable) shall direct the Collateral Agent to sell, or cause HVIF to sell, any and all Program Vehicles covered by the related Manufacturer Program of such Manufacturer for the highest purchase price offered and, promptly upon receipt, to deposit the proceeds of such sale into the HVIF Collection Account for allocation hereunder; provided, however, that if any event described in clause (A) or (B) above occurs, HVIF shall have three (3) Business Days from such occurrence to re-designate such Program Vehicles as Non-Program Vehicles in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 2.5 of the HVIF Lease before the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent to sell any such Program Vehicles; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent may liquidate through any Back-Up Disposition Agent or, if no Back-Up Disposition Agent has been appointed, through an agent that has been appointed by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Controlling Party; provided, further, that in the event any such agent is required for a liquidation, the Controlling Party may direct the Collateral Agent to retain an agent that is mutually acceptable to the Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent.

(d) Sale of Collateral. Upon any sale of any of the HVIF Collateral (in accordance with the written direction of a Controlling Party, the Required Noteholders or the Requisite HVIF Investors, as applicable) by the Trustee, or by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Trustee, whether made under the power of sale given under this Section 9.2 or under judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Base Indenture:

(i) the Trustee, any HVIF Noteholder and/or any Enhancement Provider may bid for and purchase the property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability;

(ii) the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Trustee, may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, xxxx of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold;

(iii) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity or otherwise, of HVIF of, in and to the property so sold shall be divested; and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against HVIF, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from, through or under HVIF or its successors or assigns;

(iv) the receipt of the Trustee or of the Back-Up Disposition Agent making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of the Back-Up Disposition Agent, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof; and

(v) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, HVIF agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the HVIF Vehicles shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Base Indenture.

(e) Additional Remedies. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the HVIF Collateral, the Trustee shall (subject to the foregoing provisions in respect of the HVIF Vehicles) have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(f) Amortization Event.

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to one or more, but not all, Outstanding Series of HVIF Notes, the Trustee (in accordance with written direction of a Controlling Party, the Required Noteholders or the Requisite HVIF Investors, as applicable) shall exercise all remedies hereunder to the extent necessary to pay all interest on and principal of the related Series of HVIF Notes up to the Principal Amount of each such Series of HVIF Notes; provided that, any such actions shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the HVIF Noteholders of any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding with respect to which no Amortization Event shall have occurred.

(ii) Any amounts relating to the HVIF Collateral or the HVIF Note Obligations obtained by the Trustee on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee of any rights or remedies specified in this Article IX shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of HVIF Note Obligations with respect to each Series of HVIF Notes with respect to which such rights or remedies were exercised and shall be applied as provided in Article V. If so specified in the applicable HVIF Series Supplement, the Trustee may agree not to exercise any rights or remedies available to it as a result of the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to a Series of HVIF Notes to the extent set forth therein.

Section 9.3. Other Remedies.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Base Indenture, if an Amortization Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any remedy available to it on behalf of the HVIF Noteholders under applicable law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the HVIF Notes (or the applicable Series of HVIF Notes, in the case of an Amortization Event with respect to less than all Series of HVIF Notes) or to enforce the performance of any provision of such HVIF Notes, this Base Indenture, any HVIF Series Supplement or any other Related Document, in each case, with respect to such Series of HVIF Notes. In addition, the Trustee may, or shall at the written direction of the Requisite HVIF Investors (or the Controlling Party or the Required Noteholders, as the case may be, of one or more Series of HVIF Notes, in the case of an Amortization Event that affects only such Series of HVIF Notes), direct the Collateral Agent or HVIF to exercise any rights or remedies available under any Related Documents or under applicable law or in equity with respect to that Series of HVIF Notes, in each case to the extent relating to the HVIF Collateral or the HVIF Note Obligations; provided that any such actions shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the HVIF Noteholders of any HVIF Notes Outstanding with respect to which no Amortization Event shall have occurred.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the HVIF Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 9.4. Waiver of Past Events.

With respect to any existing Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event described in clauses (e), (f), (g) or (i) of Section 9.1 of this Base Indenture, any such Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event (and, in any such case, any consequences thereof) with respect to such Series of HVIF Notes may be waived as set forth in the related HVIF Series Supplement. Upon any such waiver, such Potential Amortization Event shall cease to exist with respect to such Series of HVIF Notes, and any Amortization Event with respect to such Series of HVIF Notes arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Base Indenture and related HVIF Series Supplement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon. With respect to any existing Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (h) of Section 9.1 of this Base Indenture, any such Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event (and, in any such case, the consequences thereof) with respect to the HVIF Notes shall only be waived with the written consent of each HVIF Noteholder (with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes other than any Controlling Party Series) and each Controlling Party (with respect to any Controlling Party Series). Upon any such waiver, such Potential Amortization Event shall cease to exist with respect to each Series of HVIF Notes, and any Amortization Event with respect to each Series of HVIF Notes arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Base Indenture and each HVIF Series Supplement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon. The Trustee shall provide notice to each Rating Agency of any waiver by the HVIF Noteholders of any Series of HVIF Notes pursuant to this Section 9.4.

Section 9.5. Control by Requisite HVIF Investors.

Subject to the Trustee’s right to be indemnified prior to acting (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 10.2(e) of this Base Indenture), the Requisite HVIF Investors (or, where such remedy relates only to one or more particular Series of HVIF Notes, the Controlling Party or the Required Noteholders, as the case may be, of any such Series of HVIF Notes) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee on behalf of such HVIF Noteholders or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Subject to Section 10.1 of this Base Indenture, the Trustee may, however, refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Base Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other HVIF Noteholders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 9.6. Limitation on Suits.

Any other provision of this Base Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no HVIF Noteholder of any Series of HVIF Notes shall have any right to institute a proceeding, judicial or otherwise, (x) with respect to this Base Indenture or (y) for any other remedy with respect to this Base Indenture or such Series of HVIF Notes unless:

(a) such HVIF Noteholder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Amortization Event with respect to such Series of HVIF Notes;

(b) the HVIF Noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate Principal Amount of all such Series of HVIF Notes (other than any Controlling Party Series) and the Controlling Party of each Controlling Party Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such HVIF Noteholder or HVIF Noteholders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(e) during such sixty (60) day period the Required Noteholders of such Series of HVIF Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

(f) An HVIF Noteholder may not use the HVIF Indenture to prejudice the rights of another HVIF Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another HVIF Noteholder.

Section 9.7. Right of HVIF Noteholders to Bring Suit.

Subject to Section 9.6 and Section 13.16 of this Base Indenture, the right of any HVIF Noteholder to receive payment of principal of and interest on, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on, any HVIF Note, in each case, on or after the respective due dates therefor expressed in such HVIF Note, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such HVIF Noteholder.

Section 9.8. Collection Suit by the Trustee.

If any Amortization Event arising from the failure to make a payment in respect of a Series of HVIF Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against HVIF for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the HVIF Notes of such Series of HVIF Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 9.9. The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the HVIF Noteholders relating to the HVIF Collateral or the HVIF Note Obligations allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to HVIF (or any other obligor upon the HVIF Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each HVIF Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such HVIF Noteholders, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 of this Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 of this Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which such HVIF Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any such HVIF Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the HVIF Notes of any HVIF Noteholder or the rights of any such HVIF Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such HVIF Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Section 9.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article IX, the Trustee shall pay out the money in accordance with the provisions of Article V.

Section 9.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of HVIF Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under this Base Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Base Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other valid right or remedy.

Section 9.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any HVIF Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Amortization Event or acquiescence thereto (other than any such right or remedy that by its terms requires such Amortization Event to be continuing at the time of exercising such right or remedy). Every right and remedy given by this Article IX or by law to the Trustee, to any Controlling Party or to each HVIF Noteholder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, such Controlling Party or such HVIF Noteholder, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.12 shall be subject to and qualified in its entirety by Section 12.2(c) of this Base Indenture.

Section 9.13. Reassignment of Surplus.

After termination of this Base Indenture and the payment in full of the HVIF Note Obligations, any proceeds of the HVIF Collateral received or held by the Trustee shall be turned over to HVIF and the HVIF Indenture Collateral shall be reassigned to HVIF by the Trustee without recourse to the Trustee and without any representations, warranties or agreements of any kind.

Article X

THE TRUSTEE

Section 10.1. Duties of the Trustee.

(a) If an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Base Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Amortization Event of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice as provided in Section 10.2(o) of this Base Indenture. The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Amortization Event:

(i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Base Indenture and the Related Documents to which it is a party and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Base Indenture or such Related Documents against the Trustee; and

(ii) In the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Base Indenture or any applicable Related Document; however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine such certificates or opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Base Indenture or such Related Document (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Except as otherwise provided, the delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including HVIF’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder or thereunder, as the case may be (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(c) Subject to Section 10.1(a) of this Base Indenture, no provision of this Base Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, provided, however, that:

(i) This clause does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 10.1.

(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts nor shall the Trustee be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with this Base Indenture.

(iii) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default by any Person in the performance of its obligations under any Related Document, unless a Trust Officer receives written notice of such failure from HVIF, Hertz, or any HVIF Noteholder or otherwise has actual knowledge thereof.

(iv) Prior to occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes, and after curing all such Amortization Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Base Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Base Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Base Indenture against the Trustee.

(v) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Base Indenture shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of any Person under any of the Related Documents.

(d) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Registrar, as the case may be, under this Base Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon actual knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(e) Subject to Section 10.3 of this Base Indenture, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Related Documents.

(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Base Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1.

(g) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any HVIF Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and, unless directed by a Controlling Party or the Required Noteholders of any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding, the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the HVIF Collateral. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the HVIF Collateral in its possession if the HVIF Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the HVIF Collateral, by reason of the act or omission or any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee with due care in good faith.

(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the HVIF Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the HVIF Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the HVIF Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of HVIF to the HVIF Collateral, for insuring the HVIF Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the HVIF Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the HVIF Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Base Indenture or any other Related Document by HVIF or the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.2. Rights of the Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1 of this Base Indenture:

(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care. The appointment of agents (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be subject to the prior consent of HVIF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Base Indenture; provided that, the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of a Controlling Party or any of the HVIF Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement, unless such Controlling Party or HVIF Noteholders, as the case may be, shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of a default by HVIF (that, in any such case, has not been cured), to exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement as provided herein, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by a Controlling Party or the Required Noteholders of any Series of HVIF Notes. If the Trustee is so requested by a Controlling Party or the Required Noteholders or determines in its own discretion to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, the Trustee shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice and upon reasonable request, to examine the books, records and premises of HVIF, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of HVIF and the Trustee shall incur no liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. in each of its capacities (including, without limitation, as Trustee and as Collateral Agent) hereunder and under any other Related Documents, and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder and under any other Related Document.

The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Base Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

(c) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Amortization Event occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Base Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

Section 10.6. Replacement of the Trustee.

The Requisite HVIF Investors, acting together, may remove the Trustee with respect to the trust hereby created at any time, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Trustee and HVIF. So long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding, HVIF may remove the Trustee at any time. HVIF shall remove the Trustee if:

Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Requisite HVIF Investors, acting together, may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by HVIF.

(c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within forty-five (45) days after the retiring Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Trustee or any HVIF Noteholder, at the expense of HVIF, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) If the Trustee, after written request by any HVIF Noteholder to comply with Section 10.8 of this Base Indenture, fails to comply with Section 10.8 of this Base Indenture, such HVIF Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or removed Trustee and to HVIF. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Base Indenture and any HVIF Series Supplement. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to the HVIF Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.6, HVIF’s obligations under Section 10.5 of this Base Indenture shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

(f) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in Section 10.6(e) of this Base Indenture and the assumption of obligations of the Trustee hereunder by such successor trustee.

Section 10.7. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Subject to Section 10.8 of this Base Indenture, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 10.9. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the HVIF Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the HVIF Indenture Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the HVIF Noteholders, such title to the HVIF Indenture Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.9, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.8 of this Base Indenture and no notice to HVIF Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.6 of this Base Indenture. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of HVIF unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(ii) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform, such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the HVIF Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(iii) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iv) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Base Indenture and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Base Indenture and any HVIF Series Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to HVIF.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 11.1. Termination of HVIF’s Obligations.

(a) This Base Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that (i) HVIF’s obligations under Section 10.5 and Section 10.11 of this Base Indenture, (ii) the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 11.3 of this Base Indenture and (iii) the HVIF Noteholders’ and the Trustee’s obligations under Section 13.14 of this Base Indenture shall survive) when all Outstanding HVIF Notes theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed, lost or stolen HVIF Notes which have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and HVIF has paid all sums payable hereunder.

(b) In addition, except as may be provided to the contrary in any HVIF Series Supplement, HVIF may terminate all of its obligations under this Base Indenture if:

U.S. Government Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer’s option.

Section 11.2. Application of Trust Money.

The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and HVIF shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 11.1 of this Base Indenture.

(i) to create a new Series of HVIF Notes;

(ii) to add to the covenants of HVIF for the benefit of any HVIF Noteholders (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of HVIF Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series of HVIF Notes) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon HVIF (provided, however, that HVIF shall not pursuant to this subsection 12.1(a)(ii) surrender any right or power it has under any Related Document);

(b) HVIF Series Supplements. Upon the request of HVIF and receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 2.2 (if applicable) and Section 12.6 of this Base Indenture, the Trustee shall join with HVIF in the execution of any HVIF Series Supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such HVIF Series Supplement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Base Indenture or otherwise. Any HVIF Series Supplement that satisfies the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 of this Base Indenture shall not be required to satisfy any other conditions set forth herein.

Section 12.2. With Consent of the HVIF Noteholders.

(a) Except as provided in Section 12.1 of this Base Indenture, the provisions of this Base Indenture may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if (i) such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and is consented to in writing by HVIF, the Trustee and the Requisite HVIF Investors, provided that, with respect to any such amendment, modification or waiver that does not adversely affect in any material respect one or more Series of HVIF Notes, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVIF, each such Series of HVIF Notes will be deemed not Outstanding for purposes of the foregoing consent (and the calculation of the Requisite HVIF Investors (including the Aggregate HVIF Principal Amount) will be modified accordingly) and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding is satisfied with respect to such amendment, modification, or waiver;

provided that, HVIF shall be permitted to issue any Subordinated Series of HVIF Notes and effect any amendments hereto reasonably necessary to effect such issuance without the consent of any HVIF Noteholder (other than the Controlling Party or the Required Noteholders, as the case may be, of each such previously issued Subordinated Series of HVIF Notes); provided further that, the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding shall have been satisfied with respect to such issuance of such Subordinated Series of HVIF Notes and that each Subordinated Series of HVIF Notes shall be deemed to be subordinated in all material respects to each Series of HVIF Notes.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject, in each case, to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of HVIF Notes Outstanding):

(i) any modification of this Section 12.2 of this Base Indenture or any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by HVIF Noteholders holding the relevant percentage in Principal Amount of the HVIF Notes or any change in the definition of the terms “Aggregate Asset Amount”, “Aggregate Asset Amount Deficiency”, “Ineligible Asset Amount”, “Limited Liquidation Event of Default”, “Liquidation Event of Default” or “Manufacturer Program” or the applicable amount of Enhancement shall require the consent of each HVIF Noteholder materially adversely affected thereby; and

(ii) any amendment, waiver or other modification to this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement that would (A) extend the due date for, or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any HVIF Note, or the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of interest on any HVIF Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any HVIF Note) shall require the consent of each holder of such HVIF Note materially adversely affected thereby; (B) affect adversely in any material respect the interests, rights or obligations of any HVIF Noteholder individually in comparison to any other HVIF Noteholder shall require the consent of such HVIF Noteholder; or (C) amend or otherwise modify any Amortization Event shall require the consent of each HVIF Noteholder to which such Amortization Event applies that would be materially adversely affected thereby;

(iii) any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (A) approve the assignment or transfer by HVIF of any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Related Documents to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms hereof or thereof; or (B) release any obligor under any Related Documents to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms hereof or of such Related Document, shall require in each case the consent of the Controlling Party of each Controlling Party Series; provided, however, that any such amendment, waiver, or other modification relating to a Related Document that relates solely to a single Series of HVIF Notes (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVIF) shall require only the consent of the Controlling Party of each such Controlling Party Series; provided, further that with respect to any such amendment, waiver or other modification relating to a Related Document or portion thereof that does not adversely affect in any material respect a Series of HVIF Notes, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVIF, then such Series of HVIF Notes shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of the foregoing consent (and the calculation of Aggregate HVIF Principal Amount shall be modified accordingly); and

(iv) any amendment, waiver or other modification that would amend or otherwise modify any Servicer Default shall require the consent of the Controlling Party of each Controlling Party Series.

(c) No failure or delay on the part of any HVIF Noteholder or the Trustee in exercising any power or right under this Base Indenture or any other Related Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of any such right or power shall remain subject to each condition expressly specified in any Related Document with respect to such exercise.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section 12.2 for such Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof.

Section 12.3. Supplements and Amendments.

Each amendment or other modification to this Base Indenture shall be set forth in a Supplemental Indenture. The initial effectiveness of each Supplemental Indenture to this Base Indenture shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein and the delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by Article XII of this Base Indenture.

Section 12.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by an HVIF Noteholder of an HVIF Note is a continuing consent by the HVIF Noteholder and every subsequent HVIF Noteholder of an HVIF Note or portion of an HVIF Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting HVIF Noteholder’s HVIF Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any HVIF Note. Any such HVIF Noteholder or subsequent HVIF Noteholder may, however, revoke the consent as to his HVIF Note or portion of an HVIF Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every HVIF Noteholder. HVIF may fix a record date for determining which HVIF Noteholders are eligible to consent to any amendment or waiver.

Section 12.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any HVIF Note thereafter authenticated. HVIF, in exchange for all HVIF Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new HVIF Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new HVIF Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 12.6. The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any Supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article XII if the Supplemental Indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing any amendment hereto or Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 10.2 of this Base Indenture, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of HVIF and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture and that all conditions precedent specified in this Article XII of this Base Indenture and the amendment provisions of any applicable Series Supplement have been satisfied, and that it will be valid and binding upon HVIF in accordance with its terms.

Each of the HVIF Noteholders and the Trustee hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one (1) day after the payment in full of the latest maturing HVIF Note, it will not institute against, or join with, encourage or cooperate with any other Person in instituting, against HVIF, Hertz Vehicles LLC or HGI any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 13.14 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from HVIF pursuant to this Base Indenture. In the event that any such HVIF Noteholder or the Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 13.14, HVIF, Hertz Vehicles LLC or HGI as the case may be, shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such HVIF Noteholder or the Trustee against HVIF, Hertz Vehicles LLC or HGI, as the case may be, or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such HVIF Noteholder or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 13.14 shall survive the termination of this Base Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any HVIF Noteholder or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving HVIF, Hertz Vehicles LLC or HGI.

Section 13.15. No Recourse.

The obligations of HVIF under this Base Indenture and any HVIF Series Supplement are solely the obligations of HVIF. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Base Indenture or any HVIF Series Supplement against any member, employee, officer or director of HVIF. Fees, expenses, costs or other obligations payable by HVIF hereunder shall be payable by HVIF to the extent and only to the extent that HVIF is reimbursed therefor pursuant to any of the Related Documents, or funds are then available or thereafter become available for such purpose pursuant to the Related Documents. In the event that HVIF is not reimbursed for such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations or that sufficient funds are not available for their payment pursuant to the Related Documents, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, HVIF. Nothing in this Section 13.15 shall be construed to limit the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the HVIF Collateral.

Section 13.16. Waiver of Jury Trial.
