ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS

Section 3.01 Eligibility. Each Participant in the Plan who incurs a Qualifying Termination and who satisfies the conditions of Section 3.02 shall be eligible to receive the Severance Benefits described in the Plan, except that any such Participant who is a party to an employment agreement or Change in Control Severance Agreement (or similar agreement) with the Company pursuant to which such Participant is entitled to severance benefits shall not be eligible to receive the Severance Benefits described in the Plan.

Section 3.02 Conditions.

(a) Eligibility for any Severance Benefits is expressly conditioned on (i) execution by the Participant of the Release within 30 days after the Participant’s Termination Date and (ii) compliance by the Participant with all the material terms and conditions of such Release. If the Participant has not fully

complied with any of the applicable terms of Article V and/or the Release, the Plan Administrator may deny unpaid Severance Benefits or discontinue the payment of the Participant’s Severance Benefit and may require the Participant, by providing at least 10 days’ prior written notice of such repayment obligation to the Participant during which period the Participant may cure such failure to comply (if capable of being cured), and if not so cured the Participant shall be obligated to repay any portion of the Severance Benefit already received under the Plan.

Any remedy under this subsection (a) shall be in addition to, and not in place of, any other remedy, including injunctive relief, that the Company may have.

(b) The Plan Administrator shall determine a Participant’s eligibility to receive Severance Benefits.

ARTICLE IV

DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS

Section 4.01 Benefits Upon Any Termination of Employment. In the event of any termination of employment, regardless of whether the Participant is eligible for benefits under this Plan, the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant the following benefits, in each case to the extent vested and payable as provided in each applicable plan: (a) all earned but unpaid compensation through the Termination Date and (b) any other payments or benefits pursuant to any other compensation plans, programs or employment agreements then in effect.

Section 4.02 Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits to be provided to each Participant who meets the requirements of the Plan (each an “Eligible Participant”) shall be the following:

(a) a pro rata portion of the Performance Bonus that would have been payable to the Eligible Participant, pro rated based on the portion of the year ending on the Termination Date, such pro rata amount to be paid at the same time as such bonuses are otherwise generally paid to the Company’s executives and in any event, no later than March 15 of the year following the end of the performance period;

(b) an amount equal to (x) the sum of the Eligible Participant’s Base Salary plus such Eligible Participant’s Bonus, multiplied by (y) such Eligible Participant’s Severance Factor, payable in equal installments over the Eligible Participant’s Severance Period on the Company’s regular payroll cycles,

commencing with the first payroll cycle ending after the Release becomes effective;

(c) outplacement services or executive recruiting services provided by a professional outplacement provider or executive recruiter at a cost to the Company of not more than 10% of such Eligible Participant’s Base Salary (not to exceed $25,000) to be provided within the period ending no later than the end of the year following the year in which the Termination Date occurs; and

(d) all medical, health and accident insurance or other similar health care arrangements for the benefit of such Eligible Participant and his dependants, at the same level and same cost as in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, through such Eligible Participant’s Severance Period (or, if earlier, the date such Eligible Participant becomes eligible for comparable benefits provided by a subsequent employer).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, if, as of the Separation from Service Date, the Eligible Participant is a Specified Employee, then, except to the extent that this Agreement does not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the following shall apply: (1) No payments shall be made and no benefits shall be provided to Executive, in each case, during the period beginning on the Separation from Service Date and ending on the six-month anniversary of such date or, if earlier, the date of the Eligible Participant’s death, and (2) on the first business day of the first month following the month in which occurs the six-month anniversary of the Separation from Service Date or, if earlier, the Eligible Participant’s death, the Company shall make a one-time, lump-sum cash payment to the Eligible Participant in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amounts otherwise payable to the Eligible Participant under this Plan during the period described in clause (1) above and (y) the amount of interest on the foregoing at the applicable federal rate for instruments of less than one year.

Section 4.03 Termination for Cause. If any Participant’s employment terminates on account of termination by the Company for Cause, the Participant shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan except as provided under Section 4.01 and shall be entitled only to those benefits that are legally required to be provided to the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant has engaged in conduct that constitutes Cause at any time prior to the Participant’s Termination Date, the Plan Administrator may by written notice to the Participant determine that any Severance Benefit payable to the Participant under Section 4.02 of the Plan shall immediately cease, and that the Participant shall be required to return any Severance Benefits paid to the Participant prior to such determination. The Company may withhold paying Severance Benefits under the Plan pending resolution of a good faith inquiry that could lead to a finding resulting in Cause. If the Company has offset other payments owed to the Participant under any other plan or

program, it may, in its sole discretion, waive its repayment right solely with respect to the amount of the offset so credited.

Section 4.04 Reduction of Severance Benefits. The Plan Administrator reserves the right to make deductions in accordance with applicable law for the stated amount of monies owed to the Company by the Participant or the value of Company property that the Participant has retained in his/her possession. Any payment made pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to applicable withholding obligations in an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. or foreign federal, provincial, state and local or other applicable withholding tax requirements.

Section 4.05 Other Arrangements. The Severance Benefits under this Plan are not additive or cumulative to severance or termination benefits that a Participant might also be entitled to receive under the terms of a written employment agreement, a severance agreement or any other arrangement with the Company. As a condition of participating in the Plan, each individual must expressly agree that this Plan supersedes all prior agreements, and sets forth the entire Severance Benefit to which he or she is entitled to while a Participant in the Plan. The provisions of this Plan may provide for payments to the Participant under certain compensation or bonus plans under circumstances where such plans would not provide for payment thereof. It is the specific intention of the Company that the provisions of this Plan shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in such plans, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and such plans shall be deemed to have been amended to correspond with this Plan without further action by the Company or the Board. However, if the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Agreement (or similar agreement), such agreement, and not this Plan, shall apply under the circumstances described therein.

Section 4.06 Termination of Eligibility for Benefits. All Participants shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan, and all Severance Benefit payments shall cease upon the occurrence of the earlier of:

(a) Subject to Article VII, termination or modification of the Plan; or

(b) Completion of payment to the Participant of the Severance Benefit for which the Participant is eligible under Article IV.

Section 5.01 Confidential Information. At no time during the term of Participant’s Employment or during the 24 month period following Participant’s Termination Date, shall the Participant, without the prior written consent of the Company, use, divulge, disclose or make accessible to any other person, firm,

partnership, corporation or other entity any Confidential Information pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its affiliates, except (i) while employed by the Company, in the business of and for the benefit of the Company, or (ii) when required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company, or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the Participant to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. For purposes of this Section 5.01, “Confidential Information” shall mean any trade secret or other non-public information concerning the financial data, strategic business plans, product development (or other proprietary product data), customer lists, marketing plans and other non-public, proprietary and confidential information of the Company or its affiliates, that, in any case, is not otherwise available to the public (other than by Participant’s breach of the terms hereof) or known to persons in the industry generally.

Section 5.02 Non-Competition. The Participant agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company, and thereafter during the Restriction Period, he or she shall not directly or indirectly become associated, as an owner, partner, shareholder (other than as a holder of not in excess of 5% of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly traded company), director, officer, manager, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise, with any car or equipment rental or comparable company, which competes with the business, and for the customer base, of the Company (a “Competitive Business”). This Section 5.02 shall not be deemed to restrict (a) a Participant who is a lawyer from working for or being associated with a law firm as long as the Participant does not provide legal services to a Competitive Business or (b) association with any enterprise that conducts unrelated business or that has material operations outside of the geographic area that encompasses the Company’s customer base (or where the Company had plans at the Termination Date to enter) for so long as the Participant’s role whether direct or indirect (e.g., supervisory), is solely with respect to such unrelated business or other geographic area (as the case may be).

Section 5.03 Non-Solicitation. The Participant agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company, and thereafter during the Restriction Period, he or she shall not directly or indirectly employ or seek to employ, or solicit or contact or cause others to solicit or contact with a view to engage or employ, any person who is or was a managerial level employee of the Company at the time of the Participant’s Termination Date or at any time during the twelve-month period preceding such date. This Section 5.03 shall not be deemed to be violated solely by (a) placing an advertisement or other general solicitation or (b) serving as a reference.

Section 5.04 Non-Disparagement. The Participant agrees that he or she shall not at any time disparage the Company or any officer or employee of the Company, and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, make any written or oral statement concerning the termination of his or her employment or any circumstances,

terms or conditions relating thereto, which statement is reasonably likely to become generally known to the public. Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall prevent the lawful filing or prosecution of any claim against the Company in any judicial, arbitration, governmental, or other appropriate forum for adjudication of disputes, any response or disclosure by the Participant compelled by legal process or required by applicable law or any bona-fide exercise by the Participant of any shareholder rights he or she may otherwise have.

Section 5.05 Reasonableness. In the event the provisions of this Article V shall ever be deemed to exceed the time, scope or geographic limitations permitted by applicable laws, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, scope or geographic limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.

Section 5.06 Acknowledgment. The Plan Administrator shall require, as a condition to a Participant’s participation in the Plan, that such Participant enter into a written acknowledgment of the terms of this Article V (and such other provisions hereof as the Plan Administrator determines appropriate), in such form as the Plan Administrator shall determine appropriate from time to time.

Section 5.07 Equitable Relief.

(a) By participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Article V are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its affiliates, that the Company would not have established this Plan in the absence of such restrictions, and that any violation of any provision of this Article V will result in irreparable injury to the Company. By agreeing to participate in the Plan, the Participant represents that his or her experience and capabilities are such that the restrictions contained in this Article V will not prevent the Participant from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as is currently the case. The Participant further represents and acknowledges that (i) he or she has been advised by the Company to consult his or her own legal counsel in respect of this Plan, and (ii) that he or she has had full opportunity, prior to agreeing to participate in this Plan, to review thoroughly this Plan with his or her counsel.

(b) The Participant agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond, and a court or arbitration may also order an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Article V, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled.

(c) The Participant and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Article V, including without limitation, any action commenced by the Company for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief, may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in New Jersey, (ii) consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waive any objection which Participant may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 9.02 Initial Claim. Before the date on which payment of a Severance Benefit occurs, any claim relating to the administration of such Severance Benefit must be supported by such information as the Plan Administrator deems relevant and appropriate. In the event that any such claim is denied in whole or in part, the terminated Participant or his or her beneficiary (“Claimant”) whose claim has been so denied shall be notified of such denial in writing by the Plan Administrator within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the claim for benefits. This period may be extended an additional ninety (90) days if the Plan Administrator determines such extension is necessary and the Plan Administrator provides notice of extension to the Claimant prior to the end of the initial ninety (90) day period. The notice advising of the denial shall (i) specify the reason or reasons for denial, (ii) make specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the determination was based, (iii) describe any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim (explaining why such material or information is needed), and (iv) describe the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

(a) A Claimant whose claim has been denied shall file with the Plan Administrator a notice of appeal of the denial. Such notice shall be filed within sixty (60) calendar days of notification by the Plan Administrator of the denial of

a claim, shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the appeal is based. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.

(b) The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall consider the merits of the Claimant’s written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall deem relevant.

(c) The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall render a determination upon the appealed claim which determination shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reasons therefor. The determination shall be made to the Claimant within sixty (60) days of the Claimant’s request for review, unless the Named Appeals Fiduciary determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In such case, the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall notify the Claimant of the need for an extension of time to render its decision prior to the end of the initial sixty (60) day period, and the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall have an additional sixty (60) day period to make its determination. If the determination is adverse to the Claimant, the notice shall (i) provide the reason or reasons for denial, (ii) make specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the determination was based, (iii) include a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits, and (iv) state that the Claimant has the right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, and such determination shall be subject to de novo review by the arbitrator as provided in Section 9.05 hereof.

Section 9.04 Appointment of the Named Appeals Fiduciary.

Named Appeals Fiduciaries may at any time be removed by the Board or Committee, and any Named Appeals Fiduciary named by the Plan Administrator may be removed by the Plan Administrator. All such removals may be with or without cause and shall be effective on the date stated in the notice of removal. The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be a “Named Fiduciary” within the meaning of ERISA, and, unless appointed to other fiduciary responsibilities, shall have no authority, responsibility, or liability with respect to any matter other than the proper discharge of the functions of the Named Appeals Fiduciary as set forth herein.

Section 9.05 Arbitration; Expenses. In the event of any dispute under the provisions of this Plan, other than a dispute in which the primary relief sought is an equitable remedy such as an injunction, the parties shall have the dispute, controversy or claim settled by arbitration in Park Ridge, New Jersey (or such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the Employer and the Participant) in accordance with the

National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties (or, in the absence of such agreement, appointed by the American Arbitration Association). Any award entered by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The arbitrator shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Plan or to award a remedy for a dispute involving this Plan other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Plan. If the Participant substantially prevails on any material issue that is the subject of such arbitration or lawsuit, the Company shall be responsible for all of the fees of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrator and any expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including the Company’s and Participant’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 10.04 409A Compliance. The Plan is intended to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of Section 409A of the Code. Where reasonably possible and practicable, the Plan shall be administered in a manner to avoid the imposition on Participants of immediate tax recognition and additional taxes pursuant to such Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Plan Administrator shall have any liability to any person in the event such Section 409A applies to any such Award in a manner that results in adverse tax consequences for the Participant or any of his beneficiaries or transferees.

Section 10.05 Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Plan are personal to the Participant and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s legal representatives. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place (with a copy of such assumption provided to the Participant).

Section 10.06 No Impact On Benefits. Except as may otherwise be specifically stated under any employee benefit plan, policy or program, no amount payable under the Plan shall be treated as compensation for purposes of calculating a Participant’s right under any such plan, policy or program.

Section 10.07 Timing of Reimbursements; Effect on Other Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, no Participant shall be entitled to any cash payments or other severance benefits under any of the Company’s then current severance pay policies for a termination that is covered by this Plan for the Participant. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no reimbursement payable to Participant pursuant to any provisions of this Plan or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of the Company covered by this Plan shall be paid later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred, and no such reimbursement during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

Section 10.08 No Mitigation. A Participant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any Severance Benefit provided for in this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any Severance Benefit provided for herein be reduced by any compensation earned by other employment or otherwise or subject to offset except as otherwise expressly provided for herein.

Section 10.09 No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company.

Section 10.10 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

Section 10.11 Heirs, Assigns, and Personal Representatives. This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Participant, present and future.

Section 10.12 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

Section 10.13 Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include any other gender, and, except where otherwise clearly indicated by context, the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.

Section 10.14 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall not be funded. No Participant shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Company that may be applied by the Company to the payment of Severance Benefits.

Section 10.15 Payments to Incompetent Persons. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Company, the Committee and all other parties with respect thereto.

Section 10.16 Lost Payees. A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Plan Administrator is unable to locate a Participant to whom a Severance Benefit is due. Such Severance Benefit shall be reinstated if application is made by the Participant for the forfeited Severance Benefit while this Plan is in operation.

WHEREAS, Executive is a participant in the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Severance Plan for Senior Executives (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, Executive’s employment with Hertz will end effective as of [·];

WHEREAS, in connection with Executive’s separation from employment, Executive is entitled to certain payments and other benefits under the Plan, so long as Executive executes and does not revoke this Agreement; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive waives the right to obtain any relief from the EEOC or recover any monies or compensation as a result of filing a charge or complaint.
