Each of the parties will provide, or cause the applicable member of its Group to provide, to the Agent all documents and information required to complete the Distribution.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (i) on or prior to the Distribution Date, for the benefit of and distribution to the Record Holders, Old Hertz Holdings will deliver to the Agent all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Hertz Holdings Common Stock owned by Old Hertz Holdings and book-entry authorizations for such shares and (ii) on the Distribution Date, Old Hertz Holdings shall instruct the Agent to (A) distribute to each Record Holder (or such Record Holder’s bank, brokerage firm or other nominee on such Record Holder’s behalf) electronically, by direct registration in book-entry form, the number of whole shares of New Hertz Holdings Common Stock to which such Record Holder is entitled based on the Distribution Ratio and (B) receive and hold for and on behalf of each Record Holder, the number of fractional shares, if applicable, of New Hertz Holdings Common Stock to which such Record Holder is entitled based on the Distribution Ratio.

ARTICLE IV
FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 4.1 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, subject to Section 3.5, use its commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, on and after the Distribution Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that neither party (nor its respective Subsidiaries) shall be obligated under this Section 4.1 to pay any consideration or surrender, release or modify any rights or remedies therefor to any Third Party.

(b) Without limiting Section 4.1(a), prior to, on and after the Distribution Date, each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the other party and its Subsidiaries, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting party, to (i) execute and deliver, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including any instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer as such party may be reasonably requested to execute and deliver to the other party, (ii) make, or cause to be made, all filings with, and obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument, (iii) seek, obtain or cause to be obtained, any Governmental Approvals or other Consents required to effect the Separation or the Distribution and (iv) take all such other actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by any other party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the transfers of the Hertz Assets and the HERC Holdings Assets, the assignment and assumption of the Hertz Liabilities and the HERC Holdings Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting Section 4.1(a), each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of any other party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other party good and marketable title, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

Section 4.2 Shared Liabilities.

(a) New Hertz Holdings (or one or more members of the Hertz Group designated by New Hertz Holdings) shall be the “Managing Party” of each Shared Liability. HERC Holdings shall be the “Non-Managing Party” of each Shared Liability. The Managing Party shall be responsible for managing, and shall have the authority to manage, the defense and resolution (including, subject to Section 5.5(b)(iv), settlement) of a Shared Liability. The Non-Managing Party shall not be entitled to raise as a defense to its obligations to pay any amount in respect of any Shared Liability that the Non-Managing Party was not consulted in the response to or defense thereof (except to the extent such consultation was required under this Agreement), that such party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such response to or defense or the reasonableness of any settlement were not accepted or adopted, that such party does not approve of the quality or manner of the response to or defense thereof or that such Shared Liability was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(b) Any amount owed in respect of any Shared Liability shall be remitted within thirty (30) days after the party entitled to such amount provides an invoice (including reasonable supporting information with respect thereto) to the party owing such amount.

(c) The Non-Managing Party agrees, with respect to any Shared Liability or any Action or other facts related to any Shared Liability, that none of its public announcements and none of its reports filed with the SEC shall make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Prior to making any public statement or filing any report with the SEC that references a Shared Liability or any Action or other fact related to a Shared Liability, or responding to any comments of the SEC staff with respect thereto, the Non-Managing Party shall promptly provide the

Managing Party with an opportunity to review and comment on such statement, filing or response and shall in good faith consider for inclusion in such statement, filing or response comments reasonably and timely proposed by the Managing Party; provided, however, that the Non-Managing Party shall not be obligated to provide the Managing Party with such opportunity if such statement or report contains solely disclosure with respect to the applicable Shared Liability or Action that is substantially similar in all respects to disclosure previously made in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any inaccuracy or omission of information relating to any Shared Liability or any Action or other facts related to any Shared Liability is discovered by the Managing Party or the Non-Managing Party, the correction of which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any public statement or report filed with the SEC in order that such public statement or report not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Non-Managing Party shall promptly file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information.

Section 4.3 Certain Shared Contracts. The parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the Third Party to such Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify and/or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the Hertz Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations under that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Car Rental Business (the “Hertz Portion”), which rights shall be a Hertz Asset and which obligations shall be a Hertz Liability and (b) a member of the HERC Holdings Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations under that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Equipment Rental Business (the “HERC Holdings Portion”), which rights shall be a HERC Holdings Asset and which obligations shall be a HERC Holdings Liability. If the parties, or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify and/or replicate such Shared Contract as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in any lawful arrangement to provide that a member of the Hertz Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the Hertz Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the HERC Holdings Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the HERC Holdings Portion under such Shared Contract; provided, however, that no party or its respective Subsidiaries shall be required pursuant to this Section 4.3 to (i) assign or amend any Shared Contract in its entirety or assign a portion of any Shared Contract that is not assignable or cannot be amended by its terms or (ii) pay any consideration or surrender, release or modify any rights or remedies therefor to any Third Party for the benefit of the other party or its respective Subsidiaries unless such party advances the necessary funds; provided, further, that the arrangements described in this Section 4.3 shall terminate on the termination of the applicable Shared Contract or, if later the associated Liability thereunder.

Section 4.4 Certain Shared Accounts. Except as may otherwise be agreed by the parties and except as otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary Agreement, the parties shall not seek to assign any Shared Account. Except as may otherwise be agreed by the parties and except as otherwise contemplated by any Ancillary Agreement, New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause (a) the Assets associated with that portion of each Shared Account that relates to the Car Rental Business to be enjoyed by New Hertz Holdings or a member of the Hertz Group; (b) the Liabilities associated with that portion of each Shared Account that relates to the Car Rental Business to be borne by New Hertz Holdings or a member of the Hertz Group; (c) the Assets associated with that portion of each Shared Account that

relates to the Equipment Rental Business to be enjoyed by HERC Holdings or a member of the HERC Holdings Group; and (iv) the Liabilities associated with that portion of each Shared Account that relates to the Equipment Rental Business to be borne by HERC Holdings or a member of the HERC Holdings Group; provided, however, that no party or its respective Subsidiaries shall be required pursuant to this Section 4.4 to pay any consideration or surrender, release or modify any rights or remedies therefor to any Third Party for the benefit of the other party or its respective Subsidiaries unless such party advances the necessary funds.

Section 4.5 Insurance Matters.

(a) Until the Distribution, each member of either Group shall (i) cause itself and its employees, officers and directors to continue to be covered as insured parties under existing policies of insurance and (ii) permit the members of the other Group and their respective employees, officers and directors to submit claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred at or prior to the Distribution to the extent permitted under such policies. From and after the Distribution, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.5 and without limitation of Section 5.5(d)(v), (A) no member of either Group will have responsibility to obtain coverage for any member of the other Group, (B) each member of either Group shall have the right to remove any member of the other Group and its employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any policy of insurance issued by any insurance carrier effective immediately following the Distribution and (C) neither party will be entitled following the Distribution to make any claims for insurance coverage under the other insurance policies of the members of the other Group to the extent such claims are based upon facts, circumstances, events or matters occurring after the Distribution. No member of either Group shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the availability of any coverage under any such insurance policy.

(b) After the Distribution, each member of each Group and each of their respective current, former and future directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, shall have the right to assert claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred prior to the Distribution under any applicable insurance policies of the members of either Group, including if any Asset transferred pursuant to this Agreement suffers or has suffered any damage, destruction or other casualty loss that arises or has arisen prior to the Distribution and for which no insurance claim has yet been made as of the Distribution, to the extent permitted under the insurance policies up to the full available limits of such policies. Where indemnification is not available under Article V, each member of each Group shall be responsible for pursuing and administering its own insurance claims arising from or relating to facts, circumstances, events or matters that occurred at or prior to the Distribution and any other member of either Group shall provide such reasonable cooperation as is appropriate with respect to notice of those claims and otherwise, and, with respect to those claims, in the event any member of either Group elects to pursue insurance coverage through litigation or other action against an insurer, the member pursuing such litigation or other action will be responsible for its own costs and fees in connection therewith, in addition to any and all costs as a result of making claims under any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 4.5(b), including any deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, retrospective, retroactive or prospective premium adjustments associated with the applicable insurance policies, catastrophic coverage charges, overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, Taxes, surcharges, state assessments, reinsurance costs and other related costs.

(c) After the Distribution, to the extent that any claims have been duly reported at or before the Distribution under the directors and officers liability insurance policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Policies”) maintained by or for the benefit of the members of each

Group and their respective directors, officers and other fiduciaries, the members of each Group shall not take any action that would limit the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors, officers or fiduciaries of any member of either Group at or prior to the Distribution under any D&O Policies maintained by or for the benefit of the members of either Group and their respective directors, officers and other fiduciaries. The members of each Group shall reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors, officers or fiduciaries of any member of either Group at or prior to the Distribution in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Policies that could inure to the benefit of such individuals. The members of each Group shall allow one another and their agents and representatives, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, to examine and make copies of the relevant D&O Policies and shall provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by the members of the other Group, their directors, their officers and their fiduciaries.

(d) Effective as of the Distribution, the existing HERC Holdings D&O Policies covering directors and officers and fiduciaries of the members of each Group will be converted to a six-year run-off policy, or a new tail policy shall be obtained having the same terms and conditions as the D&O Policies, in either case with such policy limits as shall be established by Old Hertz Holdings and covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Distribution. Each of the members of either Group shall be responsible for obtaining its own D&O Policies for acts or omissions occurring on or after the Distribution. The costs and expenses associated with conversion of such existing D&O Policies to a run-off insurance policy, or obtaining a new tail policy (after application of any credit for such policy as a result of the conversion or early termination of the existing D&O Policies), shall be borne eighty-five percent (85%) by New Hertz Holdings and fifteen percent (15%) by HERC Holdings.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any member of either Group from agreeing to modify or compromise insurance rights (including by means of commutation, novation, rescission, reformation, policy buyback or otherwise) with an insurer that has been placed in liquidation, rehabilitation, conservation, supervision or similar proceedings, provided that, where those insurance rights potentially also would have benefited any member of the other Group, whether by virtue of any indemnification obligations, by virtue of any insurance rights under the policy at issue, or otherwise, then New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings must both agree in advance and in writing to any modification or compromise of those insurance rights.

Section 4.6 Misdirected Customer Payments and Vendor Invoices. If after the Distribution a member of either Group receives any funds properly belonging to a member of the other Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the receiving Group member shall, or shall cause another member of its Group to, promptly advise HERC Holdings, if the funds belong to a member of the HERC Holdings Group, or New Hertz Holdings, if the funds belong to a member of the New Hertz Group, shall hold such funds in trust for the benefit of such other Group and shall promptly deliver such funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by HERC Holdings, if the funds belong to a member of the HERC Holdings Group, or New Hertz Holdings, if the funds belong to a member of the New Hertz Group. If after the Distribution a member of either Group receives any invoice addressed to any member of the other Group, the receiving Group member shall, or shall cause another member of its Group to, promptly deliver to HERC Holdings, if the invoice is addressed to a member of the HERC Holdings Group, or New Hertz Holdings, if the invoice is addressed to a member of the New Hertz Group. The party receiving any misdirected payment or invoice pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such misdirection with the applicable customer or vendor, as applicable.

(e) At any time, at the request of any other party, each party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases in form reasonably satisfactory to the other party reflecting the provisions of this Section 5.1.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall release HERC Holdings, or any other HERC Holdings Entity, or New Hertz Holdings, or any Hertz Entity, from honoring its obligations existing prior to the Distribution Date to indemnify any director, officer or employee of HERC Holdings, or any other HERC Holdings Entity, or New Hertz Holdings, or any Hertz Entity, who was a director, officer or employee of Old Hertz Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof on or prior to the Distribution Date, to the extent such director, officer or employee was entitled in such capacity to such indemnification pursuant to obligations existing prior to the Distribution Date; provided that if a director, officer or employee of one Group receives indemnification payments from HERC Holdings, or any other HERC Holdings Entity, or New Hertz Holdings, or any Hertz Entity, as the case may be, with respect to a particular Liability for which such director, officer or employee is entitled to indemnification, such director, officer or employee shall not be entitled to receive indemnification payments from another party with respect to the same Liability to the extent of the indemnification payments previously received by such director, officer or employee from HERC Holdings, or any other HERC Holdings Entity, or New Hertz Holdings, or any Hertz Entity, as the case may be; provided, further, that (A) to the extent the

events underlying an indemnification claim pursuant to the foregoing would give rise to a HERC Holdings Liability, then such indemnification claim shall be treated as a HERC Holdings Liability hereunder; (B) to the extent the events underlying an indemnification claim pursuant to the foregoing would give rise to a Hertz Liability, then such indemnification claim shall be treated as a Hertz Liability hereunder; and (C) to the extent the events underlying an indemnification claim pursuant to the foregoing would give rise to a Shared Liability, then such indemnification claim shall be treated as a Shared Liability hereunder.

Subject to Section 5.4, Section 5.5 and Section 5.6, following the Distribution, New Hertz Holdings shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless HERC Holdings, each HERC Holdings Entity and each of their respective current, former and future directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “HERC Holdings Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the HERC Holdings Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (with corresponding credits for recovered or reimbursed payments):

(a) the Hertz Liabilities; and

(b) any breach by any Hertz Entity of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Tax Matters Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, each of which shall be subject to the provisions contained therein).

Section 5.3 Indemnification by HERC Holdings. Subject to Section 5.4, Section 5.5 and Section 5.6, following the Distribution, HERC Holdings shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless New Hertz Holdings, each Hertz Entity and each of their respective current, former and future directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Hertz Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Hertz Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (with corresponding credits for recovered or reimbursed payments):

(a) the HERC Holdings Liabilities; and

(b) any breach by any HERC Holdings Entity of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Tax Matters Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, each of which shall be subject to the provisions contained therein).

Section 5.4 Notice and Payment of Direct Claims. If any Hertz Indemnified Party or any HERC Holdings Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by any party (an “Indemnifying Party”) under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than in connection with any Action subject to Section 5.5), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and, if then reasonably quantifiable, the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is or may be entitled to be indemnified. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party that amount in cash or other immediately available funds unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to that indemnity claim and setting forth in reasonable detail the grounds for the objection within such sixty (60)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to such indemnity claim. If there is an objection by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to

the Indemnified Party in cash the amount, if any, that is Finally Determined to be required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of that indemnity claim within fifteen (15) days after that indemnity claim has been so Finally Determined.

Section 5.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) Within ten (10) days (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires) after the earlier of receipt of (i) notice that any Person (other than a Taxing Authority (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement)) that is not a Hertz Entity or a HERC Holdings Entity (a “Third Party”) has commenced an Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (ii) information from a Third Party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought (in whole or in part) under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of the Third-Party Claim, which notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all relevant notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party related to such Third-Party Claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give timely notice as provided in this Section 5.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give such notice.

(b) With respect to any Third-Party Claim that is a Shared Liability:

(i) If the Managing Party determines in its reasonable discretion that a Third-Party Claim constitutes a Shared Liability, the Managing Party shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery or receipt, as applicable, of the notice of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.5(a); provided, however, that in the event the Managing Party has so determined that a Third-Party Claim constitutes a Shared Liability and a Dispute arises as to whether such Third-Party Claim constitutes a Shared Liability that may be assumed by the Managing Party, the Managing Party may not agree to any settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Non-Managing Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, until such time as such Dispute is resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VII; provided, that the Managing Party may agree to any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Non-Managing Party during such period if such settlement or compromise (A) contains an unconditional release of the Non-Managing Party from all claims that are the subject of such Third-Party Claim, (B) does not subject the Non-Managing Party to non-monetary relief to which the Managing Party is not also subject, and (C) does not include an admission of liability by the Non-Managing Party. The Non-Managing Party shall cooperate, at the reasonable request of the Managing Party, in the defense of any Third-Party Claim that is a Shared Liability. The Non-Managing Party shall have no authority to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim that is a Shared Liability.

(ii) (A) A party’s costs and expenses of assuming the defense of, and/or seeking to settle or compromise, any Third-Party Claim that is a Shared Liability, (B) the Non-Managing Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with its cooperation in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, and (C) the Managing Party’s and Non-Managing Party’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the compliance with any non-monetary relief imposed on the parties pursuant to any settlement or other disposition of a Shared Liability in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case shall be included in the calculation of the amount of the applicable Shared Liability in determining the obligations of the parties with respect thereto.

(iii) The Managing Party shall consult with the Non-Managing Party prior to taking any action (other than a settlement or compromise, which shall be governed by clause (iv) below) with respect to any Third-Party Claim that is a Shared Liability if the Managing Party’s action could reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse impact (financial or non-financial) on the Non-Managing Party, including a significant adverse impact on the rights, obligations, operations, standing or reputation of the Non-Managing Party (or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), and the Managing Party shall not take such action without the prior written consent of the Non-Managing Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iv) The Managing Party shall promptly give notice to the Non-Managing Party regarding the substance of any settlement related discussions or proposals with respect to any Third-Party Claim that is a Shared Liability if the resulting settlement could reasonably be expected (A) not to contain an unconditional release of the Non-Managing Party from all claims that are the subject of such Third-Party Claim, (B) to subject the Non-Managing Party to non-monetary relief to which the Managing Party is not also subject, or (C) to include an admission of liability by the Non-Managing Party (any such consent in (A), (B) or (C), a “Consent Settlement”). The Managing Party shall not make any Consent Settlement without the prior written consent of the Non-Managing Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In all other instances, the Non-Managing Party shall agree to any such settlement proposal.

(v) The parties hereby agree that if the Managing Party presents the Non-Managing Party with a proposal pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above and the Non-Managing Party does not respond in any manner to the Managing Party within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Non-Managing Party shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(c) With respect to any Third-Party Claim that is or may be a Shared Insurance Liability, New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings: (i) shall maintain open communications on the status of such claim; (ii) shall permit one another reasonable access to nonprivileged information on such claim; and (iii) agree, upon exhaustion of the shared pool of insurance funds, to re-balance, at least annually, the insurance recovery for such Shared Insurance Liabilities to make each Group’s share of the Insurance Proceeds proportional to such Group’s share of the total amount paid in settlements and/or judgments by insurance and the parties with respect to such Shared Insurance Liabilities.

(d) With respect to any Third-Party Claim that is not a Shared Liability governed by Section 5.5(b):

(i) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice given by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.5(a), the Indemnifying Party may either (A) assume and control the defense (including claims administration) of such Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense by giving written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party or (B) object to the claim for indemnification set forth in such notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not within the thirty (30)-day period give the Indemnified Party written notice electing to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to continue to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 5.5(d)(i), the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be controlled by the Indemnifying Party and counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in investigating,

preparing or defending such Third Party Claim prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(ii) A party may settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim of which it controls the defense with the prior consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that no such consent shall be required if the applicable settlement or compromise (A) contains an unconditional release of the other party from all claims that are the subject of such Third-Party Claim, (B) does not subject the other party to non-monetary relief to which the settling or compromising party is not also subject, and (C) does not include an admission of liability by the other party. The parties hereby agree that if a party presents the other party with a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(iii) An Indemnified Party that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such party shall cooperate with the party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense in accordance with Section 6.3(b). In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine, upon the advice of counsel, that such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnified Parties.

(iv) If there is a timely objection by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to exercise any remedies available under Article VII for a determination as to whether the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification. If it has been Finally Determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon request from the Indemnified Party, promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any expense, loss or other amount subject to indemnification resulting from the Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party’s responsibility has been so Finally Determined.

(v) The Indemnified Party shall take all necessary action to keep and maintain in force all insurance that applies to any claim for which indemnification is sought. The Indemnified Party shall also use reasonable efforts to ensure that Insurance Proceeds received with respect to claims, costs and expenses under insurance policies in force shall be paid to reduce the net exposure of the Indemnified Party.

Section 5.6 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Each of New Hertz Holdings (on behalf of itself and each other member of the Hertz Group) and HERC Holdings (on behalf of itself and each other member of the HERC Holdings Group) intends that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement will be net of Insurance Proceeds and other amounts received that actually reduce the amount of the Liability for which indemnification is sought. Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnified Party will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds and other amounts theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or other amounts therefor, then the Indemnified Party will promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or other amounts had been received, realized or recovered.

(b) In the case of any Shared Liability, any Insurance Proceeds actually received, realized or recovered by any party in respect of the Shared Liability will be shared between the Hertz Group and the HERC Holdings Group in accordance with their respective Applicable Proportions, regardless of which Group may actually receive, realize or recover such Insurance Proceeds.

(c) An insurer that would otherwise be obligated to defend or make payment in response to any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement) by virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. It is understood that the retention of insurance policies by an Indemnifying Party or an Indemnified Party is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Liability or any other rights under any insurance policy by HERC Holdings, New Hertz Holdings or any other member of their respective Groups under any insurance policy for insurance coverage, defense, reimbursement, subrogation or otherwise.

Section 5.7 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article V shall be cumulative and, subject to Article VII, shall not preclude any Indemnified Party from asserting any other rights or from seeking any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 5.8 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article V shall survive (a) any party’s sale or other transfer of any Assets or businesses or assignment of any Liabilities and (b) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all Assets, restructuring, reorganization or similar transaction involving either party or any of its respective Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VI
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; LITIGATION MANAGEMENT;
CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 6.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information. Prior to or as promptly as practicable after the Distribution and from time to time as reasonably requested by either party, the party receiving the request shall deliver to the requesting party: (a) any corporate books and records of any member of the requesting party’s Group in the possession of the party receiving the request or any member of its Group

and (b) originals or copies of any corporate books and records of the Group of the party receiving the request that primarily relate to the requesting party’s business, its former businesses, its Assets or its Liabilities. From and after the Distribution, all such books, records and copies (where copies are delivered in lieu of originals), whether or not delivered, shall be the property of the members of the requesting party’s Group; provided, however, that all such Information contained in such books, records or copies relating to the other party’s Group constituting Confidential Information shall be subject to the applicable confidentiality provisions and restricted use provisions contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and any confidentiality restrictions imposed by applicable Law. Each party may retain copies of any original books and records delivered to the other party pursuant to this Section 6.1; provided, however, that all such Information contained in such books, records or copies (whether or not delivered to the requesting party) relating to the requesting party’s Group constituting Confidential Information shall be subject to the applicable confidentiality provisions and restricted use provisions contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and any confidentiality restrictions imposed by applicable Law.

Section 6.2 Access to Information.

(a) In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 6.1 and except in the case of an adversarial Action or threatened adversarial Action by any member of one Group against any member of the other Group (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable thereto), from and after the Distribution and upon reasonable notice, a member of either Group may request, on behalf of itself or its representatives, at the expense of the requesting party, reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all Information developed or obtained prior to the Distribution within the possession of any member of the other Group and to the personnel of any member of the other Group, in each case, to the extent such access relates to the requesting party or its businesses, its former businesses, its Assets or Liabilities, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. In each case, the requesting party shall cooperate with the other party to minimize the risk of unreasonable interference with the other party’s business. The party receiving the request shall have the right to deny access to the Information if such party determines in good faith that the exchange of such Information is reasonably likely to violate any Law or binding agreement, or waive or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection; provided, however, that the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all reasonable measures to permit the sharing of such Information in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. In the event access is granted to any Information in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements to which access is restricted by Law or otherwise, the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take such actions as are reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to have such restrictions removed or to seek an exemption therefrom or to otherwise provide the requesting party with the benefit of the Information to the same extent such actions would have been taken on behalf of the requesting party had such a restriction not existed and the Distribution not occurred.

(b) Each of New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings agrees that it will only process personal data provided to it by the members of the other Group in accordance with all applicable privacy and data protection law obligations and will implement and maintain at all times appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect such personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration and disclosure. In addition, each party agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the other party in respect of any obligations under privacy and data protection legislation affecting the disclosure of such personal data to the other party and will not knowingly process such personal data in such a way to cause the other party to violate any of its obligations under any applicable privacy and data protection legislation.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that Information located at any off-site storage facility as of the Distribution shall continue to be held at such off-site storage facility following the Distribution pursuant to arrangements administered by New Hertz Holdings or another Hertz Entity. HERC Holdings may from time to time request that New Hertz Holdings retrieve Information of the HERC Holdings Group and deliver such Information to HERC Holdings. The retrieval and delivery of such Information shall be at the sole expense of HERC Holdings. Once so removed, such Information shall be maintained by HERC Holdings and shall not be returned to New Hertz Holdings or the applicable off-site storage facility. From and after the expiration of the applicable retention periods set forth in its record retention policy as in effect on the Distribution Date or as amended after the Distribution Date in accordance with Section 6.5 or such longer period as required by Law, no Hertz Entity shall have any further obligations with respect to Information of the HERC Holdings Group and may destroy any such Information.

Section 6.3 Litigation Management and Support; Production of Witnesses.

(a) From and after the Distribution, New Hertz Holdings (or an applicable member of the Hertz Group) shall be responsible for managing, and shall have the authority to manage, the defense or prosecution, as applicable, and resolution (including settlement) of any Hertz Action, and HERC Holdings (or an applicable member of the HERC Holdings Group) shall be responsible for managing, and shall have the authority to manage, the defense or prosecution, as applicable, and resolution (including settlement) of any HERC Holdings Action.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 6.2 to the contrary, after the Distribution, each member of the Hertz Group and the HERC Holdings Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other with respect to any Third-Party Claim or potential Third-Party Claim. In addition, any member of either Group shall have the right to request in writing that a member of the other Group make available for consultation or witness purposes, its directors, officers, employees, consultants or agents who have expertise or knowledge with respect to the requesting party’s business or products or matters in litigation or alternative dispute resolution to the extent that the requesting party believes any such persons may reasonably be useful or required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved. Upon such request, the affected members of the applicable Group shall select a person or persons to provide the requested assistance after conferring in good faith to determine which person or persons should provide such assistance. Upon such determination, the requested party agrees to make the designated person or persons available to the requesting party upon reasonable notice to the same extent such requested party would have made such person available if the Distribution had not occurred. The requesting party agrees to cooperate with the requested party in giving consideration to such persons’ business demands.

Section 6.4 Reimbursement. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the party requesting Information, consulting or witness services under this Article VI shall reimburse the recipient for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, incurred in providing such Information, consulting or witness services to the requesting party.

Section 6.5 Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required by Law or agreed to in writing, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each member of the Hertz Group and each member of the HERC Holdings Group shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to retain, for the retention periods set forth in its record retention policy as in effect on the

Distribution Date or as amended after the Distribution Date in accordance with the following sentence or such longer period as required by Law, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, all Information in such party’s possession substantially relating to the other party or its businesses, its former businesses, its Assets or Liabilities, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (the “Retained Information”). Each member of the Hertz Group or the HERC Holdings Group may amend its record retention policy after the Distribution Date so long as (a) the amended policy complies with applicable Law, (b) the amended policy treats the Retained Information in the same manner as such member’s other Information and (c) the amended policy does not allow for the destruction of any Retained Information prior to the earliest date after the Distribution on which such member would have been able to destroy such Retained Information under the policy in effect as of the Distribution.

Section 6.6 Privileged Information. In furtherance of the rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Article VI:

(a) Each of New Hertz Holdings (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Hertz Group) and HERC Holdings (on behalf of itself and the other members of the HERC Holdings Group) acknowledges that: (i) each member of the Hertz Group and the HERC Holdings Group has or may obtain Information that is or may be protected from disclosure pursuant to the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, the common interest and joint defense doctrines or other applicable privileges (“Privileged Information”); (ii) actual, threatened or future litigation, investigations, proceedings (including arbitration proceedings), claims or other legal matters have been or may be asserted by or against, or otherwise affect, some or all members of the Hertz Group or the HERC Holdings Group (“Litigation Matters”); (iii) members of the Hertz Group and the HERC Holdings Group have or may in the future have a common legal interest in Litigation Matters, in the Privileged Information and in the preservation of the protected status of the Privileged Information; and (iv) each of New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings (on behalf of itself and the other members of its Group) intends that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any transfer of Privileged Information in connection herewith or therewith shall not operate as a waiver of any applicable privilege or protection afforded Privileged Information.

(b) Each of New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings agrees, on behalf of itself and each member of the Group of which it is a member, not to disclose or otherwise waive any privilege or protection attaching to any Privileged Information relating to a member of the other Group or relating to or arising in connection with the relationship between the Groups prior to the Distribution, without providing prompt written notice to and obtaining the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Upon any member of the Hertz Group or the HERC Holdings Group receiving any subpoena or other compulsory disclosure notice from a court, other Governmental Authority or otherwise that requests disclosure of Privileged Information belonging to a member of the other Group, the recipient of the notice shall promptly provide to HERC Holdings, in the case of receipt by a member of the Hertz Group, or to New Hertz Holdings, in the case of receipt by a member of the HERC Holdings Group, a copy of such notice, the intended response and all materials or information relating to the other Group that might be disclosed. In the event of a disagreement as to the intended response or disclosure, unless and until the disagreement is resolved as provided in Article VII, the members of the Hertz Group and members of the HERC Holdings Group shall cooperate to assert all defenses to disclosure claimed, at the cost and expense of the members of the Group claiming such defenses to disclosure, and shall not disclose any disputed documents or information until all legal defenses and claims of privilege have been Finally Determined.

Section 6.7 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Distribution, each party will, and will cause its CI Recipients that receive Confidential Information to, hold as confidential and not disclose to any other Person any confidential and proprietary Information concerning or belonging to the members of the other Group obtained by it prior to the Distribution or furnished to it by any member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (“Confidential Information”). “Confidential Information” includes: (i) this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement and their terms and conditions and (ii) any Information obtained or reviewed by a party or its CI Recipients in the course of reviewing the other party’s records in accordance with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, regardless of whether it is marked as “Confidential.” “Confidential Information” does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes publicly known, other than as a result of disclosure by the receiving party or its CI Recipients in breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) is known to the receiving party or its CI Recipients before disclosure under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, as documented by business records (provided that information with respect to which ownership has been allocated to the disclosing party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall constitute Confidential Information notwithstanding its prior disclosure to the receiving party or its CI Recipients); (iii) is disclosed to the receiving party or its CI Recipients by a Third Party having no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party or is Affiliates; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party or its CI Recipients without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information as documented by reasonable evidence.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.7(a), each party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to its CI Recipients who reasonably need to know such information in their capacities as such, and each party and its CI Recipients may (i) disclose the other party’s Confidential Information if legally requested or compelled to do so, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.7(c) below; (ii) disclose this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement as reasonably necessary in connection with efforts to resolve a Dispute; and (iii) disclose this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to third parties for strategic due diligence purposes if the third party has signed a confidentiality agreement covering the disclosure.

(c) In the event that either receiving party or any of its CI Recipients is required by Law or court, regulatory or governmental order or demand or requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such receiving party agrees that it, to the extent permitted by Law, will provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice of such requirement or request so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and to cooperate with the disclosing party (at the disclosing party’s sole expense) to obtain any such order or remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the disclosing party grants a waiver hereunder, the receiving party or such CI Recipient may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the receiving party or such CI Recipient determines, upon advice of counsel, that it is legally requested or compelled to disclose; provided, however, that the receiving party and its CI Recipients shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed.

(d) The receiving party shall cause all of its CI Recipients to comply with the applicable terms of this Section 6.7 and shall be fully responsible for any and all failures of such CI Recipients to comply with the terms of this Section 6.7 applicable to such CI Recipients.

(e) The parties will, at the disclosing party’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to, at the disclosing party’s election and expense, promptly return to the disclosing party, or destroy and deliver to the disclosing party written confirmation of the destruction of, all documents and materials in tangible or electronic form containing any Confidential Information in the possession or control of the party to which such information was disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that certain systems utilized by each party, in its capacity as a receiving party of Confidential Information hereunder, may not permit the purging or deletion of data, and in such case such receiving party shall not be obligated to return or destroy such data pursuant to the preceding sentence and agrees to maintain copies of affected data containing Confidential Information of the disclosing party for the minimum amount of time permitted by such systems and not to use such Confidential Information for any other purposes.

Section 6.8 Joint Defense. In the event that both a member of the HERC Holdings Group and a member of the Hertz Group are defendants in the same proceeding, upon reasonable request, the appropriate member or members of each such Group shall enter into a written joint defense agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such parties.

ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 7.1 Step Process. Except with respect to the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be subject to the provisions contained therein, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, or the breach thereof (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved: (a) first, by negotiation as provided in Section 7.2(a); (b) then, if negotiation fails, by mediation as provided in Section 7.2(b); and (c) then, if negotiation and mediation fail, by binding arbitration as provided in Section 7.3(c). Each party agrees on behalf of itself and each member of its respective Group that the procedures set forth in this Article VII shall be the exclusive means for resolution of any Dispute. The initiation of mediation or arbitration hereunder will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.

Section 7.2 Negotiation; Mediation; Arbitration.

(a) Promptly following the date hereof, each party shall distribute to the other a list (as supplemented and amended, the “Executive List”) setting forth by name and title the senior executives with the requisite authority to resolve any Dispute that should arise with respect to each of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Tax Matters Agreement), and his or her contact information. Each party may supplement and amend the Executive List from time to time by providing written notice to the other party. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve in the normal course of business any Dispute promptly by negotiation between senior executives set forth on the Executive List. Any party may give the other party written notice of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business (a “Dispute Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Dispute Notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response to the Dispute. The Dispute Notice and response shall include (i) a written statement of that party’s position and a summary of facts, documents and arguments supporting that position and (ii) the identification of the executive and his or her title and any other persons that will accompany the executive to discuss and attempt to resolve the Dispute. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the initial Dispute Notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored. All

negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

(b) If a Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 7.2(a) above within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the initial Dispute Notice requesting negotiation, or if the parties failed to meet within thirty (30) days after delivery of the initial Dispute Notice, the parties shall endeavor to settle the Dispute by nonbinding mediation in accordance with the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure then currently in effect; provided, however, that if one party fails to participate in the negotiation as provided in this Section 7.2(a) above, the other party can initiate mediation prior to the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period (the date on which either party may or shall be obligated to submit to mediation being referred to herein as the “Mediation Trigger Date”). Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. The parties shall select the mediator within thirty (30) days after the Mediation Trigger Date and will conduct the mediation within forty-five (45) days after the selection of the mediator.

(c) Any Dispute which has not been resolved pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) above within the time frames set forth therein, shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with this Section 7.2(c); provided, however, that if one party fails to participate in either the negotiation or mediation as agreed herein, the other party can commence arbitration prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth above. New Hertz Holdings and HERC Holdings will agree upon the rules of the arbitration prior to the arbitration and based upon the nature of the Dispute. To the extent that the parties cannot agree on the rules of the arbitration, then the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitrations in effect at the time arbitration is sought or invoked will apply. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. As a minimum set of rules in the arbitration the Parties agree as follows:

(i) The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator if the amount at stake is less than $10,000,000, in which case the parties will work together to select an arbitrator that is mutually satisfactory to both parties. If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to the selection of the single arbitrator within thirty (30) days, then the single arbitrator will be chosen by CPR from CPR’s Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. The arbitrator will be knowledgeable regarding the businesses of the parties or otherwise be acceptable to the parties. The arbitration shall be held before a panel of three arbitrators if the amount at stake is greater than or equal to $10,000,000, in which case the panel will consist of one arbitrator selected by New Hertz Holdings, the other selected by HERC Holdings, and the third selected by those two arbitrators. If the party-appointed arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, then the third arbitrator shall be chosen by CPR from CPR’s Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, which arbitrator shall be knowledgeable regarding the businesses of the parties or the nature of the Dispute.

(ii) The decision of the arbitrator(s) will be considered as a final and binding resolution of the disagreement, will not be subject to appeal and may be entered as an order in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States; provided that this Agreement confers no power or authority upon the arbitrators to render any decision that is based on clearly erroneous findings of fact, that manifestly disregards the Law, or exceeds of the powers of the arbitrator(s), and no such decision will be eligible for confirmation. Each party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any such court for purposes of the enforcement of any such order. No party will xxx the other except for enforcement of the arbitrators’ decision if the other party is not performing in accordance with the arbitrators’ decision. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding on the arbitrators.

(iii) Any arbitration proceeding will be conducted on a confidential basis.

(iv) The arbitrators’ discretion to fashion remedies hereunder will be no broader or narrower than the legal and equitable remedies available to a court, unless the parties expressly state elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that parties will be subject to broader or narrower legal and equitable remedies than would be available under the Law governing this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(v) The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, unless the parties mutually agree to hold the arbitration in another location.

(vi) The arbitrator is authorized to streamline the proceedings, limit discovery, limit the number of witnesses, and provide for hearings and reports submitted by teleconference or video conference to minimize travel times, costs and expenses and to accommodate schedules.

Section 7.3 Equitable Relief. Nothing in this Article VII will prevent either party from resorting to judicial proceedings if interim or other equitable relief from a court is necessary to prevent irreparable damages to a party.

Section 7.4 Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees in pursuit and resolution of any Dispute and shall share equally the fees of the mediator or arbitrator(s).
