2. PLEDGE OF ACCOUNTS

2.2 The validity and effect of the Account Pledge shall be independent from the validity and the effect of any other pledge and the Pledge will hold an individual pledge and all such pledges shall rank pari passu in priority to any of the other pledges created hereunder.
3. ACCEPTANCE OF THE ACCOUNT PLEDGE
3.1 Each Original Pledgee accepts the Account Pledge for itself and the Security Agent, as agent without power of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht), accepts the Account Pledge for each party acceding to the Finance Documents as finance party in accordance with the terms thereof (the Future Pledgee). Each Future Pledgee ratifies such acceptance for itself by accepting such transfer or assignment, thereby becoming a Pledgee, it being understood that any future or conditional claim (zukünftiger oder bedingter Anspruch) of such Future Pledgee arising under the Finance Documents shall be secured by the Account Pledge constituted hereunder. All Parties hereby confirm that the validity of the Account Pledge granted hereunder shall not be affected by the Security Agent acting as agent without power of attorney for each Future Pledgee.
3.2 In accordance with Section 418 sub-section 1 sentence 3 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) the Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that the Account Pledge will continue to be a security in the event of a full or partial assignment of contracts (Vertragsübernahme/-beitritt) and/or an assumption of liabilities or obligations (Schuldübernahme/-beitritt).
4. SECURED OBLIGATIONS
The Account Pledge hereunder is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any and all obligations (present and future, actual and contingent) which are (or are expressed to be) or become owing by the Pledgor to the Finance Parties or any of them under the Finance Documents, in particular, the Facility Agreement, the Guarantee and the Parallel Debt including, but without limitation to, obligations arising in connection with any advances made under any of the Finance Documents during any extension period by any transferor thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt these shall include any claims arising out of unjust enrichment (ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung) (together referred to as the Secured Obligations).
3
5. NOTIFICATION OF THE ACCOUNT PLEDGE
5.1 Upon signing of this Agreement the Pledgor will notify the Account Banks in respect of the Account Pledge of this Agreement, by delivering a signed notification letter in the form of SCHEDULE 2 Part 1 (Notification of the Account Pledge by the Pledgor) via registered mail with return receipt (Einschreiben mit Rückschein) and shall forthwith request an acknowledgement from the Account Banks. This notification shall be accompanied by a letter of the Security Agent by which the Security Agent notifies the Account Banks of the Account Pledge. To this end the Security Agent will deliver to the Pledgor in due time a signed notification letter substantially in the form attached hereto as SCHEDULE 2
4
Part 2 (Notification of the Account Pledge by the Pledgee). The Pledgor will provide the Security Agent with the acknowledgement executed by the Account Banks without undue delay upon receipt.
5.2 The Pledgor will promptly, however at the latest five (5) Business Days of the re-designation, renumbering or change of the Account notify the Finance Parties and the relevant Account Banks of the Account Pledge as set out in Clause 5.1 of this Agreement.

(d) the Pledgor has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and all necessary corporate action has been taken and all necessary consents have been obtained with regard to the execution and performance of this Agreement;
(e) the Accounts are free from any liens, encumbrances or any other third-party rights other than the pledges of the Account Banks pursuant to their standard terms and conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen); and

6
8. UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR
The Pledgor hereby undertakes to each Pledgee:
(a) to notify the Security Agent without undue delay (ohne schuldhaftes Zögern) of any event or circumstance which might materially adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur;
(b) except as permitted under the Finance Documents, not to encumber, create or agree to create, or permit to subsist, any encumbrance, other security interest or third party right in or over the Accounts except for the security granted pursuant to the Security Documents or permitted pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement;
(c) except as permitted under the Finance Documents not to close the Accounts during the term of the Account Pledge without the prior written consent of the Pledgees;

In the event of an attachment, the Pledgor shall provide the Security Agent with a copy of the attachment and execution order as well as with all other information necessary to lodge protest against the execution and shall without undue delay (ohne schuldhaftes Zögern) inform the execution creditor in writing of the Pledgees’ security interests hereunder; and
(g) that the Account Pledge will until satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in full have first ranking priority (to the extent legally possible and save for the security permitted under the Finance Documents and the pledge of the relevant Account Bank pursuant to its standard terms and conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen) until its waiver by the relevant Account Bank); and
(h) to use reasonable efforts that the relevant Account Bank at which the Accounts are or will be held waives its right of set-off in relation to the funds held in the Accounts and the pledge pursuant to its standard terms and conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen).

9. REALISATION
9.1 Following an Enforcement Event and the lapse of any applicable grace or curing period provided for in the Facility Agreement the Pledgees may, at any time after the prerequisites with regard to an enforcement of the Pledge (Pfandreife) under Sections 1273, 1204 et seq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) are met, avail themselves of all rights and remedies a pledgee has upon default under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, in particular as set forth in Sections 1204 et seq. and Sections 1234 et seq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), including, without limitation, the right to collect any balances standing to the credit of the Accounts and any interest claim thereunder. Notwithstanding Section 1277 sentence 1 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) the Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that no prior obtaining of an enforceable court order (vollstreckbarer Titel) or notification of enforcement will be required and that five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of the enforcement shall be sufficient. Section 1234 sub-section 2 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) shall not apply. Realisation of the Account Pledge without prior written notice to the Pledgor and waiting period shall be permissible if the Pledgor has generally ceased payment or if insolvency proceedings in respect of the Pledgor have been opened by the courts. The Pledgees shall at all times until the full and complete satisfaction of all the Secured Obligations take into consideration the legitimate interest of the Pledgor in exercising its rights and carrying out its duties under this Agreement.
9.2 Following the realisation of the Account Pledge, the Pledgees shall use the proceeds to satisfy the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Facility Agreement.
9.3 Upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event the Pledgees and the Security Agent shall be entitled to notify each Account Bank of the realisation of the Account Pledge and direct it to transfer all amounts standing to the credit balance of the Accounts in accordance with the Facility Agreement.
10. LIMITATION LANGUAGE
10.1 The Pledgees agree that their right to enforce the security granted hereunder shall, if and to the extent that it secures liabilities of any shareholder of the Pledgor or any such shareholder’s affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than the Pledgor’s subsidiaries), at all times be limited to an amount equal to the Pledgor’s net assets (as defined in Clause 10.2).
10.2 For the purposes of this Clause 10 (Limitation Language), net assets shall be calculated by taking into account the captions reflected in section 266 (2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the sum of:
(i) the Pledgor’s liabilities (the calculation of which shall take into account the captions reflected in section 266 (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code
8
(Handelsgesetzbuch)); and
(ii) the registered share capital (Stammkapital) of the Pledgor; and
(iii) the amount of any intercompany loan or loans granted by the Pledgor to its parent or sister companies.
10.3 For the purpose of the calculation of the enforceable amount, the Pledgor will, within 30 (thirty) Business Days after the Pledgees have made a demand for realisation hereunder, deliver to the Pledgees an unaudited up-to-date balance sheet of the Pledgor, drawn up by its auditors, which shows the value of the net assets. The balance sheet and determination of net assets shall be prepared in accordance with accounting principles pursuant to the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) and be based on the same principles that were applied when establishing the immediately preceding year’s balance sheet.
10.4 If the Pledgor fails to deliver a copy of its balance sheet in accordance with Clause 10.3, the Pledgees shall be entitled to enforce the security granted hereunder without limitation. Following such enforcement, the Pledgees agree to release proceeds from the enforcement of the security granted hereunder if and to the extent that it secures liabilities of any shareholder of the Pledgor or any such shareholder’s affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of Section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than the Pledgor’s subsidiaries) and that such enforcement or the application of proceeds from such enforcement towards the Secured Obligations would otherwise lead to the situation that the Pledgor does not have sufficient net assets, as determined in accordance with a balance sheet drawn up as foreseen under Clause 10.3, to maintain its registered share capital (Stammkapital).
10.5 For the purposes of the calculation of the enforceable amount specified in Clause 10.3 and the amount to be released specified in Clause 10.4, the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) the amount of any increase of registered share capital out of retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) after the date hereof that has been effected without the prior written consent of the Pledgees shall be deducted from the registered share capital; and
(ii) loans and other contractual obligations incurred in violation of the provisions of the Finance Documents to which the Pledgor is a party, shall be disregarded.
10.6 Furthermore, if and to the extent legally permissible the Pledgor shall, in a situation where it does not have sufficient net assets to maintain its registered share capital and where the Pledgees would (but for this Clause 10) be entitled and are seeking to enforce the security granted hereunder realise any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) which is significantly lower than the realisable market value of such assets and to the extent such assets are not necessary for the Pledgor’s business or operations (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
9
10.7 The limitations set out in this Clause 10 shall not apply to security granted by the Pledgor in relation to any amounts borrowed under the Facility Agreement to the extent the proceeds of such borrowing are on-lent to it or any of its subsidiaries from time to time and have not been repaid at the time of the security granted hereunder.
10.8 The security granted hereunder shall further not be enforced to the extent that the Pledgor demonstrates in reasonable detail that such enforcement would lead to a breach of the duty of care owing by the relevant shareholders vis-à-vis the respective company (Gebot der Rücksichtnahme auf die Eigenbelange der Gesellschaft) and of the prohibition of insolvency-causing intervention (Verbot des existenzvernichtenden Eingriffs), as developed by the recent jurisdiction (in particular BGH II ZR 178/99 Xxxxxx “Vulkan”, BGH ZR 196/00 and BGH II ZR 300/00 “KBV”), of the Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof), caused for example, as far as this would be within the scope of the cited court rulings, if the entering into the guarantee or indemnity and its enforcement results in the illiquidity (Zahlungsunfähigkeit) of the Transferor. The Pledgees shall be obliged to retransfer proceeds from such enforcement to the extent that the Pledgor demonstrates in reasonable detail that the enforcement of this Agreement violated the rules of the cited Federal Supreme Court rulings. Any claim for damages (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any claim relating to unjust enrichment) by the Pledgor or the Borrowers against the Banks, the Facility Agent, the Global Coordinator and/or the Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners in connection with a potential existence threatening intrusion shall be excluded.
11. RELEASE
11.1 Upon (a) the Secured Obligations being discharged in full and none of the secured parties being under any further actual or contingent obligation to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to the security providers or any other person under any of the Finance Documents, or (b) the Pledgor ceasing to be both a Borrower and a Guarantor subject to, and in accordance with, the Facility Agreement, the Security Agent shall, at the request of the Pledgor release and cancel the Security of the Pledgor and procure the retransfer to the Pledgor of the security pledged to the Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The cost of such release shall be borne in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement.
11.2 In connection with (a) any Permitted Disposal of any property that is subject to a Security, (b) any sale or other disposition of any property otherwise permitted by the Facility Agreement that is subject to a Security, (c) any sale or other disposition of any property that is subject to a Security where the Facility Agent or the Security Agent has consented to the disposal pursuant to the Facility Agreement, (d) any sale or any other disposition of any property pursuant to a merger, consolidation, reorganisation, winding-up, securitisation, Take-Out Financing or sale and leaseback permitted by the Facility Agreement to the extent necessary to ensure such merger, consolidation, reorganisation, winding-up, securitisation, Take-Out Financing or sale and leaseback take place, or (e) the creation of any Encumbrance permitted by paragraph (x) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrance, the Security Agent shall, at the request and cost of the Hertz International, Ltd, release and cancel the security of
10
the Pledgor and procure the retransfer to the Pledgor of the property and assets pledged to the Pledgees pursuant to this Agreement, provided that, to the extent that the disposal of such property is a Permitted Disposal or a sale or disposition otherwise permitted by the Facility Agreement, the property shall be declared to be automatically released from the Security with effect from the day of such disposal and the Security Agent and the Facility Agent shall each do all such acts which are reasonably requested by the Parent in order to release such property.
11.3 At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Pledgor and any of the other Obligors to secure the Secured Obligations (the Total Security) which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Total Security (realisierbarer Xxxx) exceeds 110 per cent. of the Secured Obligations (the Limit) not only temporarily, the Pledgees shall on demand of the Pledgor release such part of the Total Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Pledgees may in their reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Total Security to the Limit.
12. DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE
12.1 This Agreement shall constitute a continuing security and no change or amendment whatsoever in and to the Secured Obligations and to any document related with the Secured Obligations shall affect the validity and the scope of the Account Pledge and this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it. This Clause 12.1 shall not limited the Pledgees’ obligation to release collateral as set out in Clause 11 (Release).
12.2 This Agreement is in addition to, and independent of, any other security or guarantee the Pledgees may now or hereafter hold in respect of the Secured Obligations. None of such security interests or guarantees shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged or commingled in any way with the Account Pledge.
12.3 The Account Pledge shall remain valid notwithstanding any measure taken by the Pledgees against the Pledgor to collect the Pledgees’ claims, and in particular if the Pledgees grant payment deferrals, release guarantors, sureties or collateral or conclude a settlement or another agreement with persons directly or indirectly concerned by this Agreement.
