[RESERVED]

ARTICLE II
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

2.1 Board of Directors/Committees.

(a) Board Nominees.

(i) Prior to a Controlled Company Event. Subject to Section 2.6, and prior to a Controlled Company Event, the Stockholders and the Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) to be comprised of up to fifteen directors:

(A) three of whom shall be designated by CD&R (such persons, the “CD&R Nominees”);

(B) one of whom shall be designated by Carlyle and one of whom shall be designated by CEP II U.S. Investment, L.P. (such persons, the “Carlyle Nominees”);

(C) two of whom shall be designated by Merrill (such persons, the “Merrill Nominees”, and collectively with the CD&R Nominees and the Carlyle Nominees, the “Investor Nominees”);

(D) three of whom shall be Independent Directors, with each Principal Investor having the right to designate one such Independent Director and each such Independent Director being subject to Unanimous Investor Approval;

(E) unless otherwise agreed by Majority Approval, one of whom shall be the Chief Executive Officer (the identity of which shall be subject to Section 2.5) (the “CEO Nominee”), it being understood and agreed that such approval is hereby given for Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxx to be a member of the Board while he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

(F) unless otherwise agreed by Majority Approval, one of whom shall be Xx. Xxxxx Xxxx, until such time as Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxxx succeeds Xx. Xxxxx Xxxx as Chairman of the Board; and

(G) up to three of whom shall be additional Independent Directors designated by Unanimous Investor Approval.

(ii) Following a Controlled Company Event. If, following a Controlled Company Event and after giving effect to Section 2.6, the membership of the Board as designated in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i) would not comply with the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), (A) the number of CD&R Nominees, Carlyle Nominees and Merrill Nominees shall each be reduced by one (but in no event reduced to less than one except as provided in Section 2.6), (B) each Principal Investor shall cause one of its Investor Nominees to resign, and (C) the directors remaining in office shall elect Independent Directors to fill each of the vacancies created by such resignations. If, after giving effect to the foregoing, the membership of the Board would still not comply with the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), the Company and the Stockholders will take all Necessary Action to cause the Company to comply with Applicable Law with respect to the composition of the Board (which may include the election of additional Independent Directors as members of the Board and Committees, either as a result of an increase in the membership of the Board or the pro rata reduction in the number of Investor Nominees and their resignation from the Board or Committees, or both).

(b) Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board shall be one of the CD&R Nominees, as selected by the CD&R Nominees, provided that if CD&R approves of the appointment of the CEO Nominee as the Chairman of the Board, (i) such CEO Nominee, rather than a CD&R Nominee, shall serve as Chairman of the Board, and (ii) during the term of the CEO Nominee’s service as Chairman of the Board, one of the CD&R Nominees, as selected by the CD&R Nominees, shall serve as lead director responsible for chairing meetings (or portions thereof) of the Board during which no management employees of the Company are present.

(c) Classified Board. The certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of the Company shall provide that the directors of the Company, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. One class’s (“Class I”) term will expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the date hereof, another class’s (“Class II”) term will expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the date hereof and another class’s (“Class III”) term will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof; provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Thereafter, at each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, the successors of the directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The Investor Nominees shall be allocated among the three classes of the Board as follows: (i) one CD&R Nominee shall be allocated to each of Class I, Class II and Class III; and (ii) one Carlyle Nominee and one Merrill Nominee shall be allocated to each of Class I and Class III; provided that if the number of Investor Nominees is reduced pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) or Section 2.6, upon the resignation of an affected Investor Nominee from a class of the Board, the right to designate successor Investor Nominees to such class shall expire.

(d) Committees. The by-laws of the Company shall provide for an executive and governance committee, a compensation committee, an audit committee and such other committees as the Board may determine (collectively, the “Committees”); provided that, following a Control Company Event, the executive and governance committee shall be renamed the executive committee and the Committees shall include a nominating and governance committee. Subject to Section 2.6, the executive and governance committee shall consist of the Chairman of the Board, a CD&R Nominee (if the CD&R Nominee is not the Chairman of the Board), a Carlyle Nominee, a Merrill Nominee and, if the Chief Executive Officer is not the Chairman of the Board and is a member of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer. The CD&R Nominee that is a member of the executive and governance committee shall serve as its chairman. Each Committee shall consist of at

least three directors and, subject to Section 2.6, each Principal Investor shall have the right to designate one member thereof from among the Investor Nominees and Independent Directors; provided that (i) the membership of each Committee shall meet the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), and (ii) each Committee shall have such additional members as the Board may determine, which determination, if made after a Controlled Company Event, shall be made on the recommendation of the nominating and governance committee. Each Committee shall have such powers and responsibilities as the Board may from time to time authorize.

(e) Removal and Replacement of Directors. If a vacancy is created on the Board or a Committee as a result of the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any Investor Nominee, then the Stockholder that designated such Investor Nominee shall have the right to designate such person’s replacement, subject to the final sentence of Section 2.1(c).

(f) Board Observers. If and for so long as any Stockholder that is a Principal Investor or is otherwise a member of a Principal Investor Group is, together with the other members of its Principal Investor Group and such Principal Investor Group’s Permitted Transferees, the holder of an aggregate amount of Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $50 million, each such Stockholder shall be entitled to appoint one person as an observer (a “Board Observer”) to the Board. Any Board Observer shall be entitled to attend meetings of such Board and to receive all information provided to the members of such Board (including without limitation, minutes of previous meetings of such Board); provided, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or result in a conflict of interest, or if such Stockholder or its Board Observer is affiliated in any manner with a Competitor. For the avoidance of doubt, no Board Observer shall have voting rights or fiduciary obligations to the Company or the Stockholders but each shall be bound by the same confidentiality obligations as the members of the applicable Board. The Company, the Principal Investors and any Permitted Transferees thereof agree to take commercially reasonable efforts, either directly through the Company or indirectly through one of its Subsidiaries (as applicable), to cause Hertz to permit each Stockholder who has the right to designate a director to the Board pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or appoint a Board Observer pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) to appoint one person as an observer to the board of directors of Hertz.

(g) Information Sharing. Each Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that the Investor Nominees may share confidential, non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries with the Principal Investors and their Representatives, subject to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 6.3.

2.2 Director Fees and Expenses.

(a) Fees. The Company shall pay to the directors such fees as may be determined by the Board, subject to Majority Approval. No director who is also an employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be paid any fee for serving as a director or member of any Committee.

(b) Expenses. The Company will cause each non-employee director serving on the Board, any Committees or any Company Subsidiary board to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by him or her in connection with such service, including reasonable travel, lodging and meal expenses.

2.3 Approvals.

(a) General. Except as required by Applicable Law, all actions requiring the approval of the Board shall be approved by a majority of the directors present at any duly convened Board meeting or by unanimous written consent of the directors without a meeting, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the by-laws of the Company.

(b) Quorum/Notice. A quorum for meetings of the Board shall consist of a majority of the total authorized membership of the Board; provided that, prior to a Controlled Company Event, such majority includes at least one Investor Nominee of each of the Principal Investors entitled to designate an Investor Nominee. If a quorum is not achieved at any duly called meeting, such meeting may be postponed to a time no earlier than 48 hours after written notice of such postponement has been given to the directors, and, at any such postponed meeting, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the total authorized membership of the Board; provided that, prior to a Controlled Company Event, such majority must include at least one Investor Nominee of at least two Principal Investors. Meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the Board or by any other director at any time; provided that at least 48 hours’ written notice of such meeting has been provided to the directors or notice thereof has been waived by each director.

2.4 Certain Actions/Voting Proxy.

Prior to any such Transfer, the Transferring Stockholder shall deliver to the Company prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which the Company will forward to the Stockholders (other than the Transferring Stockholder, the “Tag-Along Participants”) within 5 days of receipt thereof, which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed Transferee, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be Transferred (the “Transferred Securities”) and the percentage (the “Tag Percentage”) that such number of Shares constitute of the total number of Shares owned by such Transferring Stockholder, (iii) the proposed purchase price therefore, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the proposed Transfer date (which date may not be less than 35 days after delivery to the Tag-Along Participants of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed Transferee to purchase the Transferred Securities, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by the Transferring Stockholder, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between the Transferring Stockholder and the Transferee which shall make provision for the participation of the Tag-Along Participants in such sale consistent with this Section 3.3.

(b) Each Tag-Along Participant may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer to the proposed Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice by giving written notice to the Company and to the Transferring Stockholder within the 15 day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to such Tag-Along Participant, which notice shall state that such Tag-Along Participant elects to exercise its rights of tag-along under this Section 3.3 and shall state the maximum number of shares sought to be Transferred (which number may not exceed the product of (i) all such Shares owned by such Tag-Along Participant plus the number of Shares owned by any Affiliate Tag-Along Assignor of such Tag-Along Participant, multiplied by (ii) the Tag Percentage). As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate Tag-Along Assignor” with respect to any Stockholder shall mean an Affiliate of such Stockholder or, in the case of any member of a Principal

Investor Group, any other member of such Principal Investor Group that, in each case, shall have waived, by means of written notice to the Company and the Transferring Stockholder, its tag-along rights pursuant to this Section 3.3 with respect to the applicable Transfer in favor of such Stockholder. Each Tag-Along Participant shall be deemed to have waived its right of tag-along with respect to the Transferred Securities hereunder if it fails to give notice within the prescribed time period. The proposed Transferee of Transferred Securities will not be obligated to purchase a number of Shares exceeding that set forth in the Transfer Notice, and in the event such Transferee elects to purchase less than all of the additional Shares sought to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Participants, the number of Shares to be Transferred by the Transferring Stockholder and each such Tag-Along Participant shall be reduced so that each such Stockholder is entitled to sell its Pro Rata Portion of the number of Shares the proposed Transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Transferred Securities set forth in the Transfer Notice).

(c) Each Tag-Along Participant, if it is exercising its tag-along rights hereunder, shall deliver to the Transferring Stockholder at the closing of the Transfer of the Transferring Stockholder’s Transferred Securities to the Transferee certificates representing the Transferred Securities to be Transferred by such holder, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable purchaser against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each Stockholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall receive consideration in the same form and per share amount after deduction of such Stockholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses. Each Stockholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferring Stockholder so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each Stockholder; provided, that any general indemnity given by the Transferring Stockholder, applicable to liabilities not specific to the Transferring Stockholder, to the Transferee in connection with such sale shall be apportioned among the Stockholders participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 3.3 according to the consideration received by each such Stockholder and shall not exceed such Stockholder’s net proceeds from the sale; provided, further, that any representation relating specifically to a Stockholder and/or its ownership of the Equity Securities to be Transferred shall be made only by that Stockholder. The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 3.3 and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Stockholder in respect of its Equity Securities to be Transferred; provided that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the

consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 3.3 (excluding de minimis expenditures). The proposed Transfer date may be extended beyond the date described in the Transfer Notice to the extent necessary to obtain required approvals of Regulatory Entities and other required approvals and the Company and the Stockholders shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals.

(d) If the Transferring Stockholder sells or otherwise Transfers to the Transferee any of its Shares in breach of this Section 3.3, then each Tag-Along Participant shall have the right to sell to each Transferring Stockholder, and each Transferring Stockholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-Along Participant, the number of Shares that such Tag-Along Participant would have had the right to sell to the Transferee pursuant to this Section 3.3, for a per Share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Transferee bought such Shares from the Transferring Stockholder, but without any indemnity being granted by any Tag-Along Participant to the Transferring Stockholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.3(d) shall preclude any Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against any such Transferring Stockholder as a result of its breach of this Section 3.3.

3.4 Drag Along Right.

(a) If one or more members of the Principal Investor Groups propose to Transfer all of their Equity Securities, representing more than 50% of the Voting Securities of the Company, and, for so long as such a Transfer requires any approval hereunder, such Transfer has been so approved, then if requested by the Stockholder(s) Transferring such Equity Securities (the “Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s)”), each other Stockholder (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) shall be required to sell all of the Equity Securities held by it of the same type as any of the Equity Securities to be Transferred (or then convertible into any such type).

(b) The consideration to be received by a Selling Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share to be received by the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s), and the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s) sells its Equity Securities. In connection with the transaction contemplated by Section 3.4(a) (the “Drag Transaction”), each Selling Stockholder will agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s) so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each Stockholder; provided, that (i) any general indemnity given by the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s), applicable to liabilities not specific to the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s), to the purchaser in connection with such sale shall be apportioned among the Selling Stockholders according to the consideration received by each Selling Stockholder and shall not exceed such Selling Stockholder’s net proceeds from the sale, (ii) that any representation relating specifically to a Selling

Stockholder and/or its Equity Securities shall be made only by that Selling Stockholder, and (iii) in no event shall any Stockholder be obligated to agree to any non-competition covenant or other similar agreement as a condition of participating in such Transfer.

(c) The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 3.4 and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Stockholder in respect of its Equity Securities; provided that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 3.4 (excluding de minimis expenditures).

(d) The Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s) shall provide written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”) to each other Selling Stockholder of any proposed Drag Transaction as soon as practicable following its exercise of the rights provided in Section 3.4(a). The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for the securities, the identity of the purchaser and the material terms of the Drag Transaction.

(e) If any holders of Equity Securities of any class are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received in the Drag Transaction, all holders of Equity Securities of such class must be given the same option.

(f) Any Selling Stockholder whose assets (“Plan Assets”) constitute assets of one or more employee benefit plans and are subject to Part IV of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), shall not be obligated to sell to any Person to whom the sale of any Equity Securities would constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA or the Code, provided, however, that if so requested by the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s): (i) such Selling Stockholder shall have taken commercially reasonable efforts to (x) structure its sale of Equity Securities so as not to constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” or (y) obtain a ruling from the Department of Labor to the effect that such sale (as originally proposed or as restructured pursuant to clause (i)(x)) does not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” and (ii) such Selling Stockholder shall have delivered an opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel are reasonably satisfactory to the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s)) to the effect that such sale (as originally proposed or as restructured pursuant to clause (i)(x)) would constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction.”

(g) Upon the consummation of the Drag Transaction and delivery by any Selling Stockholder of the duly endorsed certificate or certificates representing the Equity Securities held by such Selling Stockholder to be sold together with a stock power duly

executed in blank, the acquiring Person shall remit directly to such Selling Stockholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the consideration for the securities sold pursuant thereto.

(b) The Stockholders shall cooperate in good faith to procure that the Company take such necessary action and exercise all necessary powers so that the Company and its Subsidiaries are compliant with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, and all other applicable securities laws and listing exchange requirements.

A Principal Investor may enter into any stockholder agreement or arrangements with a member of its Principal Investor Group.

(b) Each of the parties covenants and agrees to vote their Voting Securities and to take any other action reasonably requested by the Company or any Stockholder to

6.6 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such further agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.7 No Recourse; No Stockholder Duties.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and each Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement, shall be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other Applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Stockholder or any current or future member of any Stockholder or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Stockholder under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

(b) The Stockholders agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, that when any Stockholder takes any action under this Agreement to give or withhold its consent, or when any Principal Investor takes any action under this Agreement to give or withhold its consent, such Stockholder or Principal Investor, as applicable, shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company or the other Stockholders or Principal Investors and may act exclusively in its own interest and shall have no duty to act in good faith; provided that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the parties hereto to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

6.8 Amendment; Waivers, etc. This Agreement may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if any such amendment, action or omission to act, has been approved by Stockholders holding in excess of 50% of the then-outstanding Voting Securities held by all of the Stockholders in the aggregate and such amendment, action or omission to act has received Unanimous Investor Approval, provided that this Agreement may not be amended in a manner adversely affecting the rights or obligations of any Stockholder which does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of all

similarly situated Stockholders in the same manner without the consent of such Stockholder. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Any Stockholder may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Stockholder granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.

6.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation arising under this Agreement may be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided that any Principal Investor may assign all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) hereunder to any member of its Principal Investor Group that is or becomes a Stockholder.

6.10 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns; provided that the Company shall have no right to enforce Section 3.1(b)(ii)(solely with respect to clause (i) of the definition of Prohibited Transaction) or Section 3.1(e).

6.13 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, illegality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

6.14 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

6.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

6.16 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

6.17 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any such suit, action or other proceeding except in such courts). Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth or referred to in Section 6.12 shall be effective service of process for any such suit, action or other proceeding. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or other proceeding in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

6.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party (a) certifies and acknowledges that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that it understands and has considered the implications of this waiver and makes this waiver voluntarily, and that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.18.

6.19 Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. In the event that the Company or one or more Principal Investors shall file suit to enforce the covenants contained in this Agreement (or obtain any other remedy in respect of any breach thereof), the prevailing

party in the suit shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

6.20 Certain Relationships. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, including pursuant to Section 2.7, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as precluding Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated or any of Xxxxxxx’x other Affiliates from having acted or acting in the future as a financial advisor, corporate broker, underwriter or in any other capacity for the Company (or any of its Affiliates or beneficial owners) or for any other Person, for separate consideration as may be set forth in a separate engagement letter or other agreement among the relevant parties. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obliging Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated or any of Xxxxxxx’x other Affiliates to act on behalf of, or perform any services for, the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or beneficial owners, for any purpose whatsoever (whether specifically set forth herein or otherwise) without the negotiation of a separate engagement letter or other written agreement with respect to such actions or services among the relevant parties.

6.21 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement by their authorized representatives as of the date first above written.
