on March 28, 2013 (the "Notes").

Terms of the Exchange Notes:

    The terms of the Exchange Notes offered in the exchange offer are substantially identical to the terms of the Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and will not contain restrictions on transfer or provisions relating to additional interest, will bear a different CUSIP or ISIN number from the Notes and will not entitle their holders to registration rights.

    Tendering your Notes for Exchange Notes involves risks. You should carefully review the risk factors beginning on page 16 of this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer.

The Exchange Offer:

    Our offer to exchange the Notes for Exchange Notes will be open until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of                     , 2013, unless extended.

        Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. A broker-dealer who acquired Notes as a result of market making or other trading activities may use this prospectus, as supplemented or amended from time to time, in connection with any resales of the Exchange Notes. We have agreed that we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with such resale of any Exchange Notes for a period of up to 90 days after the completion of the exchange offer. See "Plan of Distribution."

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

        Information in this prospectus about the car and equipment rental industries, including our general expectations concerning these industries and our market position and market share, among other statements, are based on estimates prepared using data from various sources and on assumptions made by us. We believe data regarding the car and equipment rental industries and our market position and market share within these industries are inherently imprecise, but generally indicate our size, position and market share within these industries. Although we believe that the information from third parties (including industry and general publications and surveys) included or reflected in this prospectus is generally reliable, we have not independently verified any such third party information and cannot assure you of its accuracy or completeness. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any third party statements or industry data presented in this prospectus, our estimates, particularly those relating to our general expectations concerning the car and equipment rental industries, involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus.

GENERAL INFORMATION

        Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, in this prospectus, (i) references to the "Issuer," the "Company" and "Hertz" mean The Hertz Corporation, Hertz Holdings' primary operating company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Investors, Inc., which is wholly owned by Hertz Holdings; (ii) references to "we," "us" and "our" mean Hertz and its consolidated subsidiaries, (iii) references to "Hertz Holdings" mean Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., our top-level holding company, (iv) "HERC" means Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, our wholly owned equipment rental subsidiary, together with our various other wholly owned international subsidiaries that conduct our industrial, construction and material handling equipment rental business, (v) "cars" means cars, crossovers and light trucks (including sport utility vehicles and, outside North America, light commercial vehicles), (vi) "program cars" means cars purchased by car rental companies under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs with car manufacturers, (vii) "non-program cars" mean cars not purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs for which the car rental company is exposed to residual risk and (viii) "equipment" means industrial, construction and material handling equipment.

        While Hertz Holdings is the ultimate parent of Hertz and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Exchange Notes and the Notes are the obligations of Hertz, as issuer, and not of Hertz Holdings. In addition, Hertz Holdings is not a guarantor of the Exchange Notes or the Notes.

        Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965.

        On November 19, 2012, Hertz Holdings completed the acquisition (the "Dollar Thrifty Acquisition") of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. ("Dollar Thrifty"), a car and truck rental and leasing business, pursuant to which Dollar Thrifty became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz.

        We have proprietary rights to a number of trademarks used in this prospectus that are important to our business, including, by way of example and without limitation, Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty and Donlen.

SUMMARY

        This summary highlights selected information regarding us, the exchange offer and the Exchange Notes and should be read as an introduction to the more detailed information included elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before participating in the exchange offer and investing in the Exchange Notes. You should read the following summary carefully together with the more detailed information, including but not limited to the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and accompanying notes, included elsewhere in this prospectus before making any investment decision.


Our Company

        Hertz operates its car rental business through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 10,460 corporate, licensee and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. Hertz is the largest worldwide airport general use car rental brand, operating from approximately 8,960 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have approximately 1,500 corporate and franchisee locations in 85 countries. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We are one of the only car rental companies that has an extensive network of company-operated rental locations both in the United States and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain the leading airport car rental brand market share, by overall reported revenues, in the United States and at 120 major airports in Europe where we have company-operated locations and where data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. We believe that we also maintain the second largest market share, by overall reported revenues, in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. In our equipment rental business segment, we rent equipment through approximately 340 branches in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia, as well as through our international licensees. We and our predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We also own Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," based in Northbrook, Illinois, which is a leader in providing fleet leasing and management services. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. Our revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 6.0% over the last 20 years, with year-over-year growth in 17 of those 20 years. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had total revenues of approximately $9.0 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.


Our Business Segments

        Our business consists of two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment, or "equipment rental." General corporate expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees are included as "other reconciling items."

        Car Rental:    Our "company-operated" rental locations are those through which we, or an agent of ours, rent cars that we own or lease. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated car rental locations both in the United States and internationally, and what we believe to be the largest number of company-operated airport car rental locations in the world, enabling us to provide consistent quality and service worldwide. Our licensees, franchisees and associates also operate rental locations in approximately 145 countries and jurisdictions, including most of the countries in which we have company-operated rental locations.

Table of Contents

        Equipment Rental:    We believe, based on an article in Rental Equipment Register published in May 2012, that HERC is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the United States and Canada combined. HERC rents a broad range of earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, air compressors, generators, pumps, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks. HERC also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables as well as through its Hertz Entertainment Services division, which rents lighting and related aerial products used primarily in the U.S. entertainment industry.


Our Markets

        We are engaged principally in the global car rental industry and in the equipment rental industry.

Worldwide Car Rental

        We believe that the global car rental industry exceeds $37 billion in annual revenues. According to Auto Rental News, car rental industry revenues in the United States were estimated to be approximately $24 billion for 2012 and grew in 2012 by 3.9%. We believe car rental revenues in Europe account for over $13 billion in annual revenues, with the airport portion of the industry comprising approximately 37% of the total. Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. We believe total rental revenues for the car rental industry in Europe in 2012 were approximately $10.8 billion in 10 countries—France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Luxembourg—where we have company-operated rental locations and approximately $2.8 billion in 11 other countries—Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Greece, Austria, Denmark, Poland, Finland, Hungary, Malta and Romania—where our Hertz brand is present through our licensees.

        Rentals by airline travelers at or near airports, or "airport rentals," are significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry and particularly in airline passenger traffic, or "enplanements," as well as the Gross Domestic Product, or "GDP." We believe domestic enplanements in 2012 approximated 2011 levels, however, we expect it to increase by 1.8% in 2013. Current data suggests that U.S. GDP increased in the first quarter of 2013 at an annual rate of approximately 1.8%. The International Air Transport Association, or "IATA," stated in December 2012 that annual global enplanements increased by 5.3% in 2012 and are expected to increase by 4.5% in 2013.

        The off-airport portion of the industry has rental volume primarily driven by local business use, leisure travel and the replacement of cars being repaired. Because Europe has generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel, the European off-airport car rental market is significantly more developed than it is in the United States. However, we believe that in recent years, industry revenues from off-airport car rentals in the United States have grown faster than revenues from airport rentals.

        We provide commercial fleet leasing and management services to national corporate customers throughout the United States and Canada through Donlen, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz. Donlen is a fully integrated fleet management services provider with a comprehensive suite of product offerings ranging from leasing and managing vehicle fleets to providing other fleet management services to reduce fleet operating costs.

Worldwide Equipment Rental

        We estimate the size of the U.S. equipment rental industry, which is highly fragmented with few national competitors and many regional and local operators, increased to approximately $31 billion in annual revenues for 2012, but the part of the rental industry dealing with equipment of the type HERC rents is somewhat smaller than that. We believe that the industry is expected to grow at a 10.6% compound annual growth rate between 2013 and 2016. Other market data indicates that the equipment rental industries in China, France, Spain and Saudi Arabia generate approximately $5.1 billion,

 

2


Table of Contents

$4.5 billion, $2.5 billion and $0.5 billion in annual revenues, respectively, although the portions of those markets in which HERC competes are smaller.

        The equipment rental industry serves a broad range of customers from small local contractors to large industrial national accounts and encompasses a wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy earthmoving equipment. We believe U.S. non-residential construction spending declined at an annual rate of approximately 7% in 2012 but is projected to increase at an annual rate of 6% in 2013. We also believe that rental equipment accounted for approximately 50% of all equipment sold into the U.S. construction industry in 2012, up from approximately 5% in 1993. In addition, we believe that the trend toward rental instead of ownership of equipment in the U.S. construction industry will continue and that as much as 60% of the equipment used in the industry could be rental equipment by 2015.

Summary of the Terms of the Exchange Offer

        On March 28, 2013, Hertz completed an offering of $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (referred to herein as the "Notes"). The Notes were issued as a separate series of additional notes under the indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Indenture"), among Hertz (as successor-in-interest to HDTFS, Inc.), as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Prior to the issuance of the Notes, $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 were issued under the Indenture, which separate series of notes are currently outstanding under the Indenture.

        The offering of the Notes was made only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S, and accordingly was exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Registration Rights Agreement

  In connection with the offering of the Notes, Hertz and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an exchange and registration rights agreement, dated as of March 28, 2013 (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "registration rights agreement"), with the initial purchasers of the Notes as stated therein.

 

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to become effective within 365 days after the date of the registration rights agreement, which is the date of issuance of the Notes, March 28, 2013. We further agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to commence the exchange offer promptly after the registration statement becomes effective and to hold the exchange offer open for the period required by applicable law. See "The Exchange Offer."

The Exchange Offer

 

Hertz is offering to exchange up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018, which have been registered under the Securities Act, or the "Exchange Notes," for any and all of the Notes.

 

You may only exchange Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, we will exchange the Exchange Notes for all Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer and accepted for exchange. We will cause the settlement of the exchange offer to be effected promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer. "See "The Exchange Offer."

Table of Contents

Resale of the Exchange Notes

 

Based on an interpretation by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for the Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

 

you are not our "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act);

 

you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business;

 

you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes (within the meaning of the Securities Act);

 

you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and

 

you are not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make a representation to all of the foregoing.

 

If you are a broker-dealer and receive Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for Notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must represent that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. See "Plan of Distribution." A broker-dealer may use this prospectus for an offer to resell, a resale or other retransfer of the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer for a period of up to 90 days after the completion of the exchange offer.

 

Any holder of Notes who:

 

is our "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act);

 

does not acquire the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business; or

 

tenders its Notes in the exchange offer with the intention to participate, or for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of Exchange Notes;

 

cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling (July 2, 1993), or similar no-action letters and, in the absence of an exemption therefrom, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.

Table of Contents

 

You should read the discussion under the heading "The Exchange Offer" for further information regarding the exchange offer and resale of the Exchange Notes.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange the Notes

 

You will continue to hold the Notes subject to their existing transfer restrictions if:

 

you do not tender your Notes;

 

you tender your Notes and they are subsequently withdrawn before the expiration date; or

 

you tender your Notes and they are not accepted for exchange.

 

With some limited exceptions, we will have no obligation to register any Notes after we complete the exchange offer. However, your Notes will continue to accrue interest. See "The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer" and "—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

Effect on Holders of the Notes

 

Upon completion of the exchange offer, there may be no market for the Notes that remain outstanding and you may have difficulty selling them.

 

As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange and exchange of all validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) outstanding Notes pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, Hertz will have fulfilled a covenant under the registration rights agreement and, accordingly, Hertz will not be obligated to pay additional interest as described in the registration rights agreement. See "The Exchange Offer—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer—Shelf Registration; Additional Interest."

Expiration Date

 

The exchange offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of                , 2013, such date and time being the "expiration date," unless we extend the exchange offer, in which case "expiration date" means the latest date and time to which the exchange offer has been extended. See "The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer—Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination."

Table of Contents

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

 

The exchange offer is subject to several customary conditions. We will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer if we determine in our reasonable judgment that the exchange offer violates applicable law, any applicable interpretation of the SEC or its staff or any order of any governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be waived by us. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered for exchange. See "The Exchange Offer—Conditions."

Procedures for Tendering Notes

 

If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must submit required documentation and effect a tender of Notes pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer or other applicable procedures, all in accordance with the instructions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal or electronic acceptance instruction. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Notes," "—Book-Entry Transfer" and "—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

 

If you hold Notes through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must comply with the Automated Tender Offer Program procedures of DTC, through which you will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal.

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners of Notes

 

If you are a beneficial owner of Notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender those Notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender those Notes on your behalf. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Notes."

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

 

If you wish to tender your Notes, but cannot properly do so on or prior to the expiration date, you may tender your Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

Withdrawal Rights

 

Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date. To withdraw a tender of Notes, follow the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders."

Table of Contents

Acceptance of Notes and Delivery of Exchange Notes

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer, Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the exchange offer on or prior to the expiration date will be accepted for exchange. The Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer will be delivered promptly following the expiration date. We may reject any and all Notes that we determine have not been properly tendered or any Notes the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We may waive any irregularities in the tender of the Notes. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Notes, " "—Book-Entry Transfer," and "—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Subject to some limited exceptions, we will have no obligation to register any Notes after we complete the exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer."

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

We believe that the exchange of the Notes for the Exchange Notes will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations."

Use of Proceeds

 

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer. See "Use of Proceeds."

Exchange Agent

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, is serving as the exchange agent for the Notes (the "Exchange Agent"). For the address and telephone number for the Exchange Agent, see "The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent."

Ranking of the Exchange Notes

 

The Exchange Notes will be Hertz's general obligations and will be: (i) equal in right of payment to all of Hertz's existing and future unsecured indebtedness and other obligations that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Exchange Notes; (ii) senior in right of payment to any of Hertz's existing or future indebtedness and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Exchange Notes; and (iii) effectively subordinated to all of Hertz's secured indebtedness and other secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured indebtedness or other secured obligations, and to all indebtedness and other obligations of Hertz's subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries that are, or which become, subsidiary guarantors).

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had consolidated indebtedness of approximately $15.9 billion. Substantially all of our consolidated assets, including our car and equipment rental fleets, are subject to security interests or are otherwise encumbered for the lenders under our asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness—Substantially all of our consolidated assets secure certain of our outstanding indebtedness, which could materially adversely affect our debt and equity holders and our business."

Subsidiary Guarantees

 

The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the following subsidiaries of The Hertz Corporation (the "Guarantees"): (i) Cinelease Holdings, Inc.; (ii) Cinelease, Inc.; (iii) Cinelease, LLC; (iv) Dollar Rent A Car, Inc.; (v) Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.; (vi) Donlen Corporation; (vii) DTG Operations, Inc.; (viii) DTG Supply, Inc.; (ix) HCM Marketing Corporation; (x) HERC; (xi) Hertz Car Sales LLC; (xii) Hertz Claim Management Corporation; (xiii) Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation; (xiv) Hertz Global Services Corporation; (xv) Hertz Local Edition Corp.; (xvi) Hertz Local Edition Transporting, Inc.; (xvii) Hertz System, Inc.; (xviii) Hertz Technologies,  Inc.; (xix) Hertz Transporting, Inc.; (xx) Smartz Vehicle Rental Corporation; (xxi) Thrifty Car Sales, Inc.; (xxii) Thrifty, Inc.; (xxiii) Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc.; (xxiv) Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc.; and (xxv) TRAC Asia Pacific, Inc.

Recent Developments

Exit Transaction of the Sponsor Parties and Termination of Related Agreements

        Hertz Holdings was incorporated by certain entities (the "Sponsor Parties") affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, The Carlyle Group and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. In December 2005, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. Prior to Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006, the Sponsor Parties held substantially all of Hertz Holdings' common stock. Hertz Holdings was a party to (i) that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2006 (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), with the Sponsor Parties, which granted to certain of the Sponsor Parties the right to cause a certain number of nominees for director to be designated to the Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors, based on the Sponsor Parties' relative level of ownership of Hertz Holdings' common stock, and (ii) that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2005 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 20, 2006, the "Holdings Registration Rights Agreement"), with the Sponsor Parties, which granted to certain of the Sponsor Parties the right to cause Hertz Holdings, at its own expense, to use its best efforts to register shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock held by the Sponsor Parties for public resale, subject to certain limitations.

        In connection with Hertz Holdings' initial public offering and subsequent offerings of shares held by the Sponsor Parties, the Sponsor Parties' holdings of common stock were intermittently reduced. On May 9, 2013 (the "Closing Date"), certain of the Sponsor Parties completed the sale of 49,800,405 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as the underwriters in the registered public offering of those shares (the "Exit Transaction"). Immediately upon completion of the Exit Transaction, the Sponsor Parties' holdings of Hertz Holdings' common stock were reduced to de minimis amounts that the Sponsor Parties and certain affiliated entities had previously received from their director nominees' equity-based compensation for service on Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors or acquired in the ordinary course of business.

        In connection with the Exit Transaction, Hertz Holdings entered into a termination letter agreement with the Sponsor Parties, pursuant to which, effective as of the Closing Date, the Stockholders' Agreement and the Holdings Registration Rights Agreement were terminated, except that certain indemnification obligations set forth in the Holdings Registration Rights Agreement survived termination.

Investment in China Auto

        On April 15, 2013, Hertz entered into definitive agreements with China Auto Rental Holdings, Inc., or "China Auto," and related parties pursuant to which Hertz made a strategic investment in China Auto. China Auto is the largest car rental company in China. Pursuant to the transaction, Hertz invested cash in, and agreed to contribute certain of its assets to, China Auto, received common stock and a convertible note in return and will receive an additional convertible note upon completion of the contribution. Upon the initial closing of the transaction, which occurred on May 1, 2013, Hertz owns 10% of China Auto's ordinary shares and has a seat on China Auto's Board. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, Hertz would have 18.64% on a fully diluted basis. This transaction will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

RISK FACTORS

        Our business is subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. The risks and uncertainties described below, however, are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also significantly impact us. Any of these risks and uncertainties may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. In such a case, the trading price of the Notes or Exchange Notes could decline or we may not be able to make payments of interest and principal on the Notes or Exchange Notes, and you may lose all or part of your original investment. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and uncertainties as well as the other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to tender your outstanding Notes in the exchange offer. Any of the following risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows and we believe that the following information identifies the material risks and uncertainties affecting our company; however, the following risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us and it is possible that other risks and uncertainties might significantly impact us. The risks below are generally applicable to the Notes as well as the Exchange Notes.


Risks Related to Our Business

Our car rental business, which provides the majority of our revenues, is particularly sensitive to reductions in the levels of airline passenger travel, and reductions in air travel could materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

        The car rental industry is particularly affected by reductions in business and leisure travel, especially with respect to levels of airline passenger traffic. Reductions in levels of air travel, whether caused by general economic conditions, airfare increases (such as due to capacity reductions or increases in fuel costs borne by commercial airlines) or other events (such as work stoppages, military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural disasters, epidemic diseases, or the response of governments to any of these events) could materially adversely affect us. Further, decreases in levels of airline passenger traffic in key leisure destinations, including Florida, Hawaii, California and Texas, could also materially adversely affect us.

We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.

        The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the car and equipment rental markets and that the Internet has enabled cost-conscious customers, including business travelers, to more easily compare rates available from rental companies. If we try to increase our pricing, our competitors, some of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to attempt to gain a competitive advantage or to compensate for declines in rental activity. To the extent we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors' pricing, our revenues and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If competitive pressures lead us to match any of our competitors' downward pricing and we are not able to reduce our operating costs, then our margins, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. Additionally, we could be further affected if we are not able to adjust the size of our rental fleet in response to changes in demand, whether such changes are due to competition or otherwise. See the sections of this prospectus entitled "Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Competition" and "Business—Worldwide Equipment Rental—Competition."

Table of Contents

Our business is highly seasonal and any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during our peak periods could materially adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.

        Certain significant components of our expenses are fixed in the short-term, including minimum concession fees, real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs. Seasonal changes in our revenues do not alter those fixed expenses, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher. The second and third quarters of the year have historically been our strongest quarters due to their increased levels of leisure travel and construction activity. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the second or third quarters could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows and results of operations. Following the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, we expect this risk to increase, as the scale of our car rental business and the related fixed costs have increased.

A material downsizing of our rental car fleet could require us to make additional cash payments for tax liabilities, which could be material.

        The Like-Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," allows tax gains on the disposition of vehicles in our car rental fleet to be deferred and has resulted in deferrals of federal and state income taxes for prior years. If a qualified replacement vehicle is not purchased within a specific time period after vehicle disposal, then taxable gain is recognized. A material reduction in the net book value of our car rental fleet, a material and extended reduction in vehicle purchases and/or a material downsizing of our car rental fleet, for any reason, could result in reduced tax deferrals in the future, which in turn could require us to make material cash payments for U.S. federal and state income tax liabilities. In August 2010, we elected to temporarily suspend the U.S. car rental LKE Program. In October 2012, Hertz reinstated the program. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Income Taxes."

        Dollar Thrifty similarly used an LKE Program prior to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, which allowed Dollar Thrifty to defer a material amount of federal and state income taxes beginning in 2002. Thus, our Dollar Thrifty subsidiary is subject to the similar risks described above related to material payments for U.S. federal and state tax liabilities in the event there is a material reduction in the net book value of its car rental fleet, a material and extended reduction in its vehicle purchases and/or a material downsizing of its car rental fleet, for any reason. Our ability to continue to defer the reversal of prior period tax deferrals by Dollar Thrifty will depend on a number of factors, including the net book value of its car rental fleet.

If we are unable to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced cars or equipment and the cost of the cars or equipment we purchase increases, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

        We are not a party to any long-term car supply arrangements with manufacturers. The price and other terms at which we can acquire cars thus varies based on market and other conditions. For example, certain car manufacturers have in the past, and may in the future, utilize strategies to de-emphasize sales to the car rental industry, which can negatively impact our ability to obtain cars on competitive terms and conditions. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase a sufficient number of vehicles at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. Reduced or limited supplies of equipment together with increased prices are risks that we also face in our equipment rental business. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of cars or equipment, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms when we acquire cars or equipment and are unable to pass on any increased costs to our customers, then our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

Declines in the value of the non-program cars in our fleet and declines in the overall number of program cars in our fleet could materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

        Over the last few years the percentage of "program cars" in our car rental fleet (that is, cars that are subject to repurchase by car manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs) has decreased. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, 20% and 30%, respectively, of the vehicles purchased for our combined U.S. and international car rental fleets were program cars. We expect this percentage to continue to decrease in the future, particularly as we integrate the operations of Dollar Thrifty, which operated a lower percentage of program cars than Hertz immediately prior to our completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

        Manufacturers agree to repurchase program cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during a specified time period. Therefore, with fewer program cars in our fleet, we have an increased risk that the market value of a car at the time of its disposition will be less than its estimated residual value at such time. Any decrease in residual values with respect to our non-program cars and equipment (prior to disposition) could also materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

        The use of program cars enables us to determine our depreciation expense in advance and this is useful to us because depreciation is a significant cost factor in our operations. Using program cars is also useful in managing our seasonal peak demand for fleet, because in certain cases we can sell certain program cars shortly after having acquired them at a higher value than what we could for a similar non-program car at that time. With fewer program cars in our fleet, these benefits have diminished. Accordingly, we are now bearing increased risk relating to residual value and the related depreciation on our car rental fleet and our flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without the risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand has been reduced.

The failure of a manufacturer of our program cars to fulfill its obligations under a repurchase or guaranteed depreciation program could expose us to loss on those program cars and materially adversely affect certain of our financing arrangements, which could in turn materially adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

        If any manufacturer of our program cars does not fulfill its obligations under its repurchase or guaranteed depreciation agreement with us, whether due to default, reorganization, bankruptcy or otherwise, then we would have to dispose of those program cars without receiving the benefits of the associated programs (we could be left with a substantial unpaid claim against the manufacturer with respect to program cars that were sold and returned to the manufacturer but not paid for, or that were sold for less than their agreed repurchase price or guaranteed value) and we would also be exposed to residual risk with respect to these cars.

        The failure by a manufacturer to pay such amounts could cause a credit enhancement deficiency with respect to our asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements, requiring us to either reduce the outstanding principal amount of debt or provide more collateral (in the form of cash, vehicles and/or certain other contractual rights) to the creditors under any such affected arrangement.

        If one or more manufacturers were to adversely modify or eliminate repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs in the future, our access to and the terms of asset-backed and asset-based debt financing could be adversely affected, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

We may not be successful in implementing our strategy of further reducing operating costs and our cost reduction initiatives may have adverse consequences.

        We are continuing to implement initiatives to reduce our operating expenses. These initiatives may include headcount reductions, business process outsourcing, business process re-engineering, internal reorganization and other expense controls. We cannot assure you that our cost reduction initiatives will achieve any further success. Whether or not successful, our cost reduction initiatives involve significant expenses and we expect to incur further expenses associated with these initiatives, some of which may be material in the period in which they are incurred.

        Even if we achieve further success with our cost reduction initiatives, we face risks associated with our initiatives, including declines in employee morale or the level of customer service we provide, the efficiency of our operations or the effectiveness of our internal controls. Any of these risks could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

An impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite lived intangible assets could have a material non-cash adverse impact on our results of operations.

        We review our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable and at least annually. If economic deterioration occurs, then we may be required to record charges for goodwill or indefinite lived intangible asset impairments in the future, which could have a material adverse non-cash impact on our results of operations.

Significant increases in fuel prices or reduced supplies of fuel could harm our business.

        Significant increases in fuel prices, reduced fuel supplies or the imposition of mandatory allocations or rationing of fuel could negatively impact our car rental business by discouraging consumers from renting cars, changing the types of cars our customers rent from us or the other services they purchase from us or disrupting air travel, on which a significant portion of our car rental business relies. In addition, significant increases in fuel prices or a reduction in fuel supplies could negatively impact our equipment rental business by increasing the cost of buying new equipment, since fuel is used in the manufacturing process and in delivering equipment to us, and by reducing the mobility of our fleet, due to higher costs of transporting equipment between facilities or regions. Accordingly, significant increases in fuel prices or reduced supplies of fuel could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our foreign operations expose us to risks that may materially adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

        A significant portion of our annual revenues are generated outside the United States, and we intend to pursue additional international growth opportunities. Operating in many different countries exposes us to varying risks, which include: (i) multiple, and sometimes conflicting, foreign regulatory requirements and laws that are subject to change and are often much different than the domestic laws in the United States, including laws relating to taxes, automobile-related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, cost and fee recovery, and the protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property; (ii) the effect of foreign currency translation risk, as well as limitations on our ability to repatriate income; (iii) varying tax regimes, including consequences from changes in applicable tax laws; (iv) local ownership or investment requirements, as well as difficulties in obtaining financing in foreign countries for local operations; and (v) political and economic instability, natural calamities, war, and terrorism. The effects of these risks may, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and ability to diversify internationally.

Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.

        Our cars may be subject to safety recalls by their manufacturers. A recall may cause us to retrieve cars from renters and decline to rent recalled cars until we can arrange for the steps described in the recall to be taken. We could also face liability claims if a recall affects cars that we have sold. If a large number of cars are the subject of a recall or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to rent recalled cars for a significant period of time. Those types of disruptions could jeopardize our ability to fulfill existing contractual commitments or satisfy demand for our vehicles, and could also result in the loss of business to our competitors. Depending on the severity of any recall, it could materially adversely affect our revenues, create customer service problems, reduce the residual value of the recalled cars and harm our general reputation.

Our business is heavily reliant upon communications networks and centralized information technology systems and the concentration of our systems creates risks for us.

        We rely heavily on communication networks and information technology systems to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our fleets of cars and equipment, manage our financing arrangements, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business. Our reliance on these networks and systems exposes us to various risks that could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet, slow rental and sales processes, limit our ability to comply with our financing arrangements and otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. We have centralized our reservations function for the United States in two facilities in Mobile, Alabama and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and we have concentrated our accounting functions for the United States in two facilities in Oklahoma City. Our reservations and accounting functions for our European operations are similarly centralized in a single facility near Dublin, Ireland. In addition, our major information technology systems are centralized in two facilities in Oklahoma City. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands' centralized information systems are located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and our Dollar and Thrifty brands rely on communication service providers to link their system with the business locations these systems serve. Any disruption, termination or substandard provision of these services, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire or explosion) or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and information technology functions or by eliminating access to financing arrangements.

The misuse or theft of information we possess could harm our brand, reputation or competitive position and give rise to material liabilities.

        Because we regularly possess, store and handle non-public information about millions of individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of that data, whether as the result of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation, result in governmental investigations and give rise to a host of civil or criminal liabilities. Any such failure could lead to lower revenues, increased remediation, prevention and other costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.

Maintaining favorable brand recognition is essential to our success, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

        While our "Hertz," "Dollar" and "Thrifty" brand names have substantial brand recognition in the markets in which they participate, factors affecting brand recognition are often outside our control, and our efforts to maintain or enhance favorable brand recognition, such as marketing and advertising campaigns, may not have their desired effects. In addition, although our licensing partners are subject to contractual requirements to protect our brands, it may be difficult to monitor or enforce such

20


Table of Contents

requirements, particularly in foreign jurisdictions. Any decline in perceived favorable recognition of our brands could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we were to lose the services of members of our senior management team.

        Our senior management team has extensive industry experience, and our success significantly depends upon the continued contributions of that team. If we were to lose the services of any one or more members of our senior management team, whether due to death, disability or termination of employment, our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, financial plans, marketing and other objectives, could be significantly impaired.

We may pursue strategic transactions which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.

        Any future strategic acquisition or disposition of assets or a business could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business or segregating assets to be disposed of; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the acquisition or disposition or against any business we may acquire; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; and (v) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies.

        If we enter into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations, particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. A material disposition could require the amendment or refinancing of our outstanding indebtedness or a portion thereof.

        As a result of the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with Dollar Thrifty's business, and we have incurred a substantial amount of additional indebtedness. See "—Risks Related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition."

We face risks related to liabilities and insurance.

        Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the cars and equipment rented or sold by us, and for employment-related claims by our employees. Currently, we generally self-insure up to $10 million per occurrence in the United States and Europe for vehicle and general liability exposures, and we also maintain insurance with unaffiliated carriers in excess of such levels up to $200 million per occurrence for the current policy year, or in the case of international operations outside of Europe, in such lower amounts as we deem adequate given the risks. We cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability at levels in excess of our historical levels resulting from multiple payouts or otherwise, that liabilities in respect of existing or future claims will not exceed the level of our insurance, that we will have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims or that insurance with unaffiliated carriers will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. See the sections of this prospectus entitled "Business—Risk Management" and "Legal Proceedings."

We could face a significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate and at least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have underfunded liabilities.

        We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated

21


Table of Contents

statements of operations and as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. The amount that we would be required to pay to the plan is referred to as a withdrawal liability. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. One multiemployer plan in which we participated had significant underfunded liabilities and we withdrew from that plan in December 2012. Several of our remaining multiemployer plans have underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 6 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 9 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Environmental laws and regulations and the costs of complying with them, or any liability or obligation imposed under them, could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including with respect to the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and waste oils. We cannot assure you that our tanks will at all times remain free from leaks or that the use of these tanks will not result in significant spills or leakage. If leakage or a spill occurs, it is possible that the resulting costs of cleanup, investigation and remediation, as well as any resulting fines, could be significant. We cannot assure you that compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations will not require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Business—Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters."

        The U.S. Congress and other legislative and regulatory authorities in the United States and internationally have considered, and will likely continue to consider, numerous measures related to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Should rules establishing limitations on greenhouse gas emissions or rules imposing fees on entities deemed to be responsible for greenhouse gas emissions become effective, demand for our services could be affected, our fleet and/or other costs could increase, and our business could be adversely affected.

Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile-related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

        We are subject to a wide variety of U.S. laws and regulations and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices and materially adversely affect our financial position and results of operations, including our profitability. Those changes may come about through new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations.

        Any new, or change in existing, U.S. law and regulation with respect to optional insurance products or policies could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenue and profitability. For further discussion regarding how changes in the regulation of insurance intermediaries may affect us, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Business—Risk Management." If customers decline to purchase supplemental

liability insurance products from us as a result of any changes in these laws or otherwise, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

        Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment in the areas of customer privacy, data security and cross-border data flow could have a material adverse effect on our business, primarily through the impairment of our marketing and transaction processing activities, and the resulting costs of complying with such legal and regulatory requirements. It is also possible that we could face significant liability for failing to comply with any such requirements.

        In most places where we operate, we pass through various expenses, including the recovery of vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, to our rental customers as separate charges. We believe that our expense pass-throughs, where imposed, are properly disclosed and are lawful. However, we may in the future be subject to potential legislative, regulatory or administrative changes or actions which could limit, restrict or prohibit our ability to separately state, charge and recover vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

        Certain new or proposed laws and regulations with respect to the banking and finance industries, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and amendments to Regulation AB, could restrict our access to certain financing arrangements and increase our financing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.


Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness

Our substantial level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to compete in our industry.

        As of March 31, 2013, we had debt outstanding of approximately $15.9 billion, which includes the indebtedness incurred in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Our substantial indebtedness could materially adversely affect us. For example, it could: (i) make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our outstanding debt securities and to the lenders under our various credit facilities, resulting in possible defaults on, and acceleration of, such indebtedness; (ii) be difficult to refinance or borrow additional funds in the future; (iii) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations and investing activities to make payments on our debt, which would reduce our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes; (iv) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions (such as credit-related disruptions); including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings are at floating rates of interest and are not hedged against rising interest rates, and the risk that one or more of the financial institutions providing commitments under our revolving credit facilities fails to fund an extension of credit under any such facility, due to insolvency or otherwise, leaving us with less liquidity than expected; (v) place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have proportionately less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates or on better terms; and (vi) limit our ability to react to competitive pressures, or make it difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy and our efforts to improve operating margins. While the terms of the agreements and instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness contain certain restrictions upon our ability to incur additional indebtedness, they do not fully prohibit us from incurring substantial additional indebtedness and do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt or other obligations are added to our current liability levels without a corresponding refinancing or redemption of our existing indebtedness and obligations, these risks would increase. For a description of the amounts we have available under certain of our debt facilities, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing" and

Note 5 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        Our ability to manage these risks depends on financial market conditions as well as our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to a wide range of risks, including those described under "—Risks Related to Our Business."

        If our capital resources (including borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to other refinancing indebtedness) and operating cash flows are not sufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to do, among other things, one or more of the following: (i) sell certain of our assets; (ii) reduce the size of our rental fleet; (iii) reduce the percentage of program cars in our rental fleet; (iv) reduce or delay capital expenditures; (v) obtain additional equity capital; (vi) forgo business opportunities, including acquisitions and joint ventures; or (vii) restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity.

        We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will maintain financing activities and cash flows sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If we cannot refinance or otherwise pay our obligations as they mature and fund our liquidity needs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and ability to compete in our industry could be materially adversely affected.

Our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

        We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing to purchase cars. If we are unable to refinance or replace our existing asset-backed and asset-based financing or continue to finance new car acquisitions through asset-backed or asset-based financing on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, then our costs of financing could increase significantly and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, interest costs, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

        Our asset-backed and asset-based financing capacity could be decreased, our financing costs and interest rates could be increased, or our future access to the financial markets could be limited, as a result of risks and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, including: (i) the acceptance by credit markets of the structures and structural risks associated with our asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements; (ii) the credit ratings provided by credit rating agencies for our asset-backed indebtedness; (iii) third parties requiring changes in the terms and structure of our asset-backed or asset-based financing arrangements, including increased credit enhancement or required cash collateral and/or other liquid reserves; (iv) the insolvency or deterioration of the financial condition of one or more of our principal car manufacturers; or (v) changes in laws or regulations, including judicial review of issues of first impression, that negatively impact any of our asset-backed or asset-based financing arrangements.

        Any reduction in the value of certain cars in our fleet could effectively increase our car fleet costs, adversely impact our profitability and potentially lead to decreased borrowing base availability in our asset-backed and certain asset-based vehicle financing facilities due to the credit enhancement requirements for such facilities, which could increase if market values for vehicles decrease below net book values for those vehicles. In addition, if disposal of vehicles in the used vehicle marketplace were to become severely limited at a time when required collateral levels were rising and as a result we failed to meet the minimum required collateral levels, the principal under our asset-backed and certain asset-based financing arrangements may be required to be repaid sooner than anticipated with vehicle disposition proceeds and lease payments we make to our special purpose financing subsidiaries. If that were to occur, the holders of our asset-backed and certain asset-based debt may have the ability to

24


Table of Contents

exercise their right to direct the trustee or other secured party to foreclose on and sell vehicles to generate proceeds sufficient to repay such debt.

        The occurrence of certain events, including those described in the paragraph above, could result in the occurrence of an amortization event pursuant to which the proceeds of sales of cars that collateralize the affected asset-backed financing arrangement would be required to be applied to the payment of principal and interest on the affected facility or series, rather than being reinvested in our car rental fleet. In the case of our asset-backed financing arrangements, certain other events, including defaults by us and our affiliates in the performance of covenants set forth in the agreements governing certain fleet debt, could result in the occurrence of a liquidation event with the passing of time or immediately pursuant to which the trustee or holders of the affected asset-backed financing arrangement would be permitted to require the sale of the assets collateralizing that series. Any of these consequences could affect our liquidity and our ability to maintain sufficient fleet levels to meet customer demands and could trigger cross-defaults under certain of our other financing arrangements.

        Any reduction in the value of the equipment rental fleet of HERC (which could occur due to a reduction in the size of the fleet or the value of the assets within the fleet) could not only effectively increase our equipment rental fleet costs and adversely impact our profitability, but would result in decreased borrowing base availability under certain of our asset-based financing arrangements, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.

Substantially all of our consolidated assets secure certain of our outstanding indebtedness, which could materially adversely affect our debt and equity holders and our business.

        Substantially all of our consolidated assets, including our car and equipment rental fleets and Donlen's lease portfolio, are subject to security interests or are otherwise encumbered for the lenders under our asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements. As a result, the lenders under those facilities would have a prior claim on such assets in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization, and we may not have sufficient funds to pay in full, or at all, all of our creditors, including the holders of the Notes or Exchange Notes, or make any amount available to holders of our equity. The same is true with respect to structurally senior obligations: in general, all liabilities and other obligations of a subsidiary must be satisfied before the assets of such subsidiary can be made available to the creditors (or equity holders) of the parent entity.

        Because substantially all of our assets are encumbered under financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial flexibility and force us to attempt to incur additional unsecured indebtedness, which may not be available to us.

Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness may materially adversely affect our financial flexibility or may have other material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

        Certain of our credit facilities and other asset-based and asset-backed financing arrangements contain covenants that, among other things, restrict Hertz and its subsidiaries' ability to: (i) dispose of assets; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) incur guarantee obligations; (iv) prepay other indebtedness or amend other financing arrangements; (v) pay dividends; (vi) create liens on assets; (vii) sell assets; (viii) make investments, loans, advances or capital expenditures; (ix) make acquisitions; (x) engage in mergers or consolidations; (xi) change the business conducted by us; and (xii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

Table of Contents

        Our Senior ABL Facility (as defined below in "Description of Certain Indebtedness") contains a financial covenant that obligates us to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio if we fail to maintain a specified minimum level of liquidity. Our ability to comply with this covenant will depend on our ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn are subject to, among other things, the risks identified in "—Risks Related to Our Business."

        The agreements governing our financing arrangements contain numerous covenants. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under the relevant agreement, which could, in turn, cause cross-defaults under our other financing arrangements. In such event, we may be unable to borrow under the Senior ABL Facility and certain of our other financing arrangements and may not be able to repay the amounts due under such arrangements. Therefore, we would need to raise refinancing indebtedness, which may not be available to us on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. This could have serious consequences to our financial condition and results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent. Additionally, such defaults could require us to sell assets, if possible, and otherwise curtail our operations in order to pay our creditors. Such alternative measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

An increase in interest rates or in our borrowing margin would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.

        A significant portion of our outstanding debt bears interest at floating rates. As a result, to the extent we have not hedged against rising interest rates, an increase in the applicable benchmark interest rates would increase our cost of servicing our debt and could materially adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.

        In addition, we regularly refinance our indebtedness. If interest rates or our borrowing margins increase between the time an existing financing arrangement was consummated and the time such financing arrangement is refinanced, the cost of servicing our debt would increase and our liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.


Risks Related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition

Combining the businesses of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, which may adversely affect our results.

        To realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings we contemplated as part of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, we must successfully combine and integrate our business with Dollar Thrifty's business in an efficient and effective manner. If we are not able to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. It is possible that the overall integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, lenders and franchisees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

        Specifically, issues that must be addressed in integrating the operations of Dollar Thrifty into our operations in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition include, among other things:

    integrating and optimizing the utilization of the rental vehicle fleets and related financing of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty;

    integrating and consolidating the marketing, promotion, reservation and information technology systems of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty;

26


Table of Contents

    conforming standards, controls, procedures and policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the companies;

    consolidating the automotive purchasing, maintenance and resale operations;

    consolidating corporate and administrative functions; and

    identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming operations and assets.

        Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of Hertz after the completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

        In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized. Actual synergies, if achieved at all, may be lower than what we expect and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If we are not able to adequately address these challenges, we may be unable to successfully integrate Dollar Thrifty.

We incurred significant transaction and acquisition-related costs in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and expect to incur additional costs in connection with the integration of Dollar Thrifty's operations.

        We have incurred and expect to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies. Most of these costs have been and will be comprised of transaction costs related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, facilities, fleet and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. We also incurred transaction fees and costs related to formulating integration plans. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, should allow us to offset the previously-incurred incremental transaction and acquisition-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Future results of the combined company may differ materially from the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty presented in this prospectus.

        The future results of Hertz, as the combined company following the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, may be materially different from those shown in the pro forma financial information (i) for the year ended December 31, 2012 presented in this prospectus under "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information," which reflects such results on a pro forma basis after giving effect only to the Pro Forma Transactions (as defined below under "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" to include, among other things, the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and related financing transactions) as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012 and (ii) as of and for the periods indicated in Note 4 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 5 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which reflect such results on a pro forma basis after giving effect only to, among other things, the Pro Forma Transactions as if they had occurred on the dates indicated therein.

        The pro forma financial information included in this prospectus reflects the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and is subject to change and interpretation. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information presented in this prospectus has been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the applicable transactions been completed as of the dates indicated.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

Your ability to transfer the Exchange Notes may be limited by the absence of a trading market, and there is no assurance as to the liquidity or sustainability of any such trading markets that might develop.

        We are offering the Exchange Notes to the holders of the Notes. The Notes were issued in a private placement in March 2013 to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and other investors under Regulation S. We do not intend to apply for a listing of any class of the Exchange Notes on a securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. The Exchange Notes will be new securities for which there is currently no existing market. As such, we cannot assure you that a market for such notes will develop, or as to the liquidity or sustainability of any such market that might develop. We cannot guarantee your ability to sell the Exchange Notes or the price at which you would be able to sell the Exchange Notes in any trading markets. Even if such markets are developed, sustained or liquid, as the case may be, the Exchange Notes could trade at prices that may be lower than their principal amount or purchase price depending on many factors, including the number of holders of the Exchange Notes, our ability to redeem the Exchange Notes, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions, recommendations of securities analysts, and our financial condition, performance, prospects and other factors.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the Exchange Notes. The liquidity of, and trading market for, the Exchange Notes may be adversely affected by a general decline in the market for similar securities and may experience similar disruptions and any such disruptions may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your Exchange Notes. Any such disruption may have a negative effect on you, as a holder of the Exchange Notes, regardless of our prospects and financial performance. In addition, the Indenture will allow us to issue additional notes (including additional notes in one or more series) under the Indenture in the future, which could adversely impact the value or liquidity of the Exchange Notes.

You must comply with the procedures of the exchange offer in order to receive Exchange Notes.

        Delivery of Exchange Notes in exchange for the Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after you properly follow the procedures of the exchange offer. We or the Exchange Agent are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Notes for exchange. The Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but we do not accept for exchange will, following completion of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and, upon completion of the exchange offer, certain registration and other rights under the registration rights agreement will terminate. Therefore, holders of Notes who wish to tender their Notes for Exchange Notes should allow sufficient time for the completion of the exchange offer procedures.

If you are a broker-dealer or participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be required to deliver a prospectus and comply with other requirements.

        If you tender your Notes for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. If you are a broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for Notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or any other trading activities, you will be required to represent that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. If you transfer Exchange

28


Table of Contents

Notes without delivery of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without exemption from registration of your Exchange Notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability. In addition, our obligation to keep this registration statement effective, of which this prospectus forms a part of, is limited. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that a current prospectus will be available at all times to broker-dealers wishing to resell the Exchange Notes.

You may have difficulty selling any Notes that you do not exchange.

        If you do not exchange your Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer of your Notes as set forth in the offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private placement of the Notes, the Indenture and the legend on the Notes. In general, the Notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the Notes under the Securities Act. See the sections of this prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer" and "Plan of Distribution." The tender of Notes and exchange of such Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will reduce the outstanding amount of the Notes, which may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market prices of the Notes due to a reduction in liquidity. In addition, because we anticipate that most holders of the Notes will elect to exchange their Notes for Exchange Notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of the Exchange Notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that liquidity of the market for any Notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited.


Risks Related to the Exchange Notes and the Notes

The Exchange Notes will be, and the Notes are, unsecured and structurally subordinated to some of our obligations, and only certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the Notes and will guarantee the Exchange Notes.

        The Indenture governing the Exchange Notes and the Notes permits us to incur certain secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities and other asset-based and asset-backed financing arrangements. Substantially all of our assets, including our car and equipment rental fleets, are subject to security interests or are otherwise encumbered for the lenders under our Senior Credit Facilities and other asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements. The Exchange Notes and the Notes are unsecured and therefore do not have the benefit of such collateral. Accordingly, if an event of default occurs under the Senior Credit Facilities or other asset-backed or asset-based financing arrangements, the respective secured lenders will have a prior right to the subject assets, to the exclusion of the holders of the Exchange Notes and the holders of the Notes, even if we are in default under the Indenture governing the Exchange Notes and the Notes. In that event, our assets would first be used to repay in full all indebtedness and other obligations secured by them, resulting in all or a portion of our assets being unavailable to satisfy the claims of the holders of the Exchange Notes and the holders of the Notes and other unsecured indebtedness. Further, if secured lenders foreclose and sell the pledged equity interests in any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Exchange Notes and the Notes, then that Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from its respective Guarantee of the Exchange Notes and the Notes automatically and immediately upon the sale.

        The Exchange Notes will not be, and the Notes are not, guaranteed by any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, our non-wholly owned subsidiaries or certain other U.S. subsidiaries, including the U.S. and foreign financing subsidiaries under our asset-backed financing arrangements. Payments on the Exchange Notes and the Notes are only required to be made by Hertz and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Accordingly, claims of holders of the Exchange Notes and of holders of the Notes will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors. All obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such

29


Table of Contents

subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon liquidation or otherwise, to Hertz or a Subsidiary Guarantor. Furthermore, many of the non-guarantor subsidiaries that hold our U.S. and international car rental fleets in connection with asset-backed financing arrangements are intended to be bankruptcy remote and the assets held by them will not be available to our general creditors in a bankruptcy unless and until they are transferred to a non-bankruptcy remote entity. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the majority of our consolidated U.S. revenues were generated by Hertz and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries, none of which will be guarantors, generated approximately 24% and 30%, respectively, of our total revenues for the same periods. The non-guarantor subsidiaries will be permitted to incur additional debt in the future under the Indenture governing the Exchange Notes and the Notes. See "Description of the Exchange Notes."

        As of March 31, 2013, we had consolidated indebtedness of approximately $15.9 billion. The Subsidiary Guarantors will guarantee Hertz's obligations under the Exchange Notes and currently guarantee Hertz's obligations under the Notes and its other Senior Notes and the Senior Credit Facilities. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness" and Note 17 to both our audited annual consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The assets of HERC may be disposed of by Hertz without being subject to many of the restrictions contained in the section "Description of the Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants."

        Under the Indenture, we have the ability to dispose of HERC, and other assets related to the business of renting earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electric equipment, air compressors, generators, pumps, small tools, compaction equipment and construction related trucks and the selling of new equipment and consumables of Hertz and its subsidiaries, without such disposition being governed by many of the restrictive covenants described under the section "Description of the Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants." Among other things, under the Indenture, HERC will be able to (i) incur unlimited non-recourse debt, (ii) make payments of dividends or other distributions of equity interests in, or other securities of, HERC and (iii) distribute, without restriction, the net cash proceeds from the sale of HERC, so long as no default or event of default under the Indenture governing the Exchange Notes and the Notes has occurred and is continuing. Under the Indenture, the disposition of HERC and the assets used in the HERC Business (as defined in "Description of the Exchange Notes") will not be deemed to be a change of control. Upon any such disposition of HERC, following which HERC is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of Hertz under the Indenture, its guarantee of the Exchange Notes and the Notes would be released. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, HERC generated approximately 14% and 15%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues, and held approximately 15% and 16%, respectively, of our consolidated total assets. In the event that we disposed of HERC, our ability to service our substantial indebtedness on an ongoing basis would be reduced.

We may be unable to finance any change of control repurchase offers required by the Indenture. Our inability to do so would result in an event of default under the Indenture.

        If we experience a "change of control" (as defined in the Indenture), we would be required to make an offer to purchase all of the outstanding Exchange Notes and Notes (unless otherwise redeemed) at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the date of purchase. The occurrence of the specified events that would constitute a change of control would constitute a default under certain of our existing financing arrangements. A change of control may cause the acceleration of other indebtedness, which may rank equally with, or superior to, the Exchange Notes and the Notes. Our future indebtedness may also require such indebtedness to be repurchased upon a change of control.

30


Table of Contents

        We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds to finance our repurchase obligations following a change of control. Currently, we expect that we would require third-party financing to make a change of control offer. If we cannot fund a change of control offer in relation to the Exchange Notes and the Notes, we could attempt to arrange debt or equity financing to fund our repurchase obligations. However, we may not be able to do so on favorable terms, or at all. Any failure by us to repurchase the Exchange Notes and the Notes following a change of control will constitute an event of default under the Indenture and may cause the acceleration of the Exchange Notes and the Notes or other debt. See "Description of the Exchange Notes—Change of Control" and "—Certain Covenants."

        The definition of "change of control" contained in the Indenture includes a disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "all or substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of our assets. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a change of control has occurred and whether we are required to make an offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes and the Notes.

Our being subject to certain fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may have adverse implications for the holders of the Exchange Notes and the holders of the Notes.

        If, under relevant federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes, in a bankruptcy or reorganization case or a lawsuit by or on behalf of unpaid creditors of an issuer, a court were to find that, at the time the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, issued the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or incurred the respective Guarantee:

    the Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantor did so with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors, or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or incurring the Guarantee, as applicable; and

    the Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantor:

    was insolvent, or was rendered insolvent, by reason of the incurrence of the indebtedness constituting the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or the Guarantee, as applicable,

    was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its assets constituted unreasonably small capital,

    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts matured, or

    was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it if, in either case, after final judgment the judgment was unsatisfied,

the court could avoid (cancel) or subordinate the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or the applicable Guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer or the respective Subsidiary Guarantor, and take other action detrimental to the holders of the Exchange Notes and the holders of the Notes including, under certain circumstances, invalidating the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or the applicable Guarantee.

        The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction that is being applied in the relevant legal proceeding. Generally, however, the Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantor would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurs the indebtedness constituting the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or its Guarantee, as applicable:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, is greater than its assets, at a fair valuation;

31


Table of Contents

    cannot pay its debts as they come due; or

    the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its total existing debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and matured.

        We cannot give you any assurance as to what standards a court would use to determine whether Hertz, as the Issuer of the Exchange Notes and the Notes, or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the entities incurring the Guarantees, was solvent at the relevant time, or whether, whatever standard was used, the Exchange Notes and/or the Notes or the applicable Guarantee would not be avoided on another of the grounds described above.

        We believe that at the time the Exchange Notes are, and the Notes were, initially issued by Hertz and the Guarantees are, in the case of the Exchange Notes, and were, in the case of the Notes, incurred by the Subsidiary Guarantors, Hertz and each Subsidiary Guarantor will: (i) be neither insolvent nor rendered insolvent thereby; (ii) be in possession of sufficient capital to run their respective businesses; (iii) be incurring debts within their respective abilities to pay as the same mature or become due; and (iv) have sufficient assets to satisfy any probable money judgment against them in any pending action. In reaching these conclusions, we have relied upon our analysis of internal cash flow projections, which, among other things, assumes that we will in the future realize certain price and volume increases and favorable changes in business mix, and estimated values of assets and liabilities. We cannot assure you, however, that a court passing on such questions would reach the same conclusions.

These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative. Many factors, including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors," could affect our actual financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

    levels of travel demand, particularly with respect to airline passenger traffic in the United States and in global markets;

    the impact of pending and future U.S. governmental action to address budget deficits through reductions in spending and similar austerity measures, which could materially adversely affect unemployment rates and consumer spending levels;

    significant changes in the competitive environment, including as a result of industry consolidation, and the effect of competition in our markets, including on our pricing policies or use of incentives;

    occurrences that disrupt rental activity during our peak periods;

    our ability to achieve cost savings and efficiencies and realize opportunities to increase productivity and profitability;

    an increase in our fleet costs as a result of an increase in the cost of new vehicles and/or a decrease in the price at which we dispose of used vehicles either in the used vehicle market or under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs;

    our ability to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the size and mix of our fleet accordingly;

    our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and the availability to us of additional or continued sources of financing for our revenue earning equipment and to refinance our existing indebtedness;

    safety recalls by the manufacturers of our vehicles and equipment;

    a major disruption in our communication or centralized information networks;

    financial instability of the manufacturers of our vehicles and equipment;

    any impact on us from the actions of our licensees, franchisees, dealers and independent contractors;

    our ability to maintain profitability during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease);

    shortages of fuel and increases or volatility in fuel costs;

    our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and complete dispositions;

    our ability to maintain favorable brand recognition;

    costs and risks associated with litigation;

    risks related to our indebtedness, including our substantial amount of debt, our ability to incur substantially more debt and increases in interest rates or in our borrowing margins;

    our ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in our Senior Credit Facilities, our outstanding unsecured Senior Notes and certain asset-backed and asset-based arrangements;

    changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make accurate estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings;

    other risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus.

        In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward looking statements contained in this prospectus might not prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

        The following contains a summary of the exchange offer, material provisions of the registration rights agreement and other important information. As applicable, this summary is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the registration rights agreement. Reference is made to the provisions of the registration rights agreement, which has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement. Copies are available as set forth in the section entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information."


Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

        We issued $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes on March 28, 2013 to several initial purchasers, pursuant to a purchase agreement. The initial purchasers subsequently sold the Notes to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and Regulation S. As a condition to the sale of the Notes, Hertz entered into the registration rights agreement pursuant to which it agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, to use its commercially reasonable efforts:

    (1)
    to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the exchange offer pursuant to which new notes (the Exchange Notes) substantially identical to the Notes (except that such Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to the payment of additional interest described below or transfer restrictions) would be offered in exchange for the then-outstanding Notes tendered at the option of the holders thereof; and

    (2)
    to cause the registration statement to become effective within 365 days after the date of the registration rights agreement, which is the date of issuance of the Notes, March 28, 2013.

        Hertz further agreed to commence the exchange offer promptly after the registration statement becomes effective, to hold the offer open for the period required by applicable law, and to exchange the Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the offer.

Shelf Registration; Additional Interest

        Under the registration rights agreement with respect to the Notes, there are additional terms regarding our obligations to register the Notes and pay interest in addition to the 4.250% per annum interest rate.

        If:

    (1)
    on or before the date of completion of the exchange offer, the existing SEC interpretations are changed such that the Exchange Notes would not in general be freely transferable in such manner on such date;

    (2)
    the exchange offer for the Notes has not been completed within 395 days following the issue date of the Notes;

    (3)
    under certain circumstances, an initial purchaser of the Notes so requests with respect to such Notes not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer; or

    (4)
    any holder of the Notes (other than an initial purchaser) is not permitted by applicable law to participate in the exchange offer, or if any holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the registration statement is not available for such resales by such holder (other than, in either case, due solely to the status of such holder as an affiliate of the Company or due to such holder's inability to make the representations referred to below),

then Hertz will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, one or more registration statements under the Securities Act relating to a shelf registration, or the

35


Table of Contents

"Shelf Registration Statement," of the Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for resale by holders or, in the case of clause (3), of the Notes held by an initial purchaser for resale by such initial purchaser, or the "Resale Registration," and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective within 365 days following the date on which the obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement arises.

        In the event that:

    (1)
    the registration statement is not declared effective within 365 days following the date of the registration rights agreement; or

    (2)
    the exchange offer for the Notes has not been completed within 395 days following the issue date of the Notes; or

    (3)
    if a Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed under the registration rights agreement, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective within 365 days following the date on which the obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement arises; or

    (4)
    any Shelf Registration Statement required by the registration rights agreement is filed and declared effective, and during the period Hertz is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective (i) Hertz shall have suspended and be continuing to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement for more than 60 days in the aggregate in any consecutive twelve-month period or (ii) such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective and such Shelf Registration Statement is not replaced within 90 days by a Shelf Registration Statement that is filed and declared effective (any such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) is referred to as a "Registration Default"),

then additional interest will accrue on the respective Transfer Restricted Notes (as defined below) for the period from the occurrence of a Registration Default (but only with respect to one Registration Default at any particular time) until such time as all Registration Defaults have been cured at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% during the first 90-day period following the occurrence of such Registration Default which rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 0.50% regardless of the number of Registration Defaults that shall have occurred and be continuing.

        For purposes of the foregoing, "Transfer Restricted Notes" means any of the Notes; provided, however, that a Note shall cease to be a Transfer Restricted Note when (i) a Shelf Registration Statement registering such Note under the Securities Act has been declared or becomes effective and such Note has been sold or otherwise transferred by the holder thereof pursuant to and in a manner contemplated by such effective Shelf Registration Statement; (ii) such Note is sold pursuant to Rule 144 under circumstances in which any legend borne by such Note relating to restrictions on transferability thereof, under the Securities Act or otherwise, is removed or deemed removed by the Company or pursuant to the Indenture; (iii) on or following the earliest date that is no less than 545 days after the issue date of the Notes and on which such Note would be saleable (if it were held by a non-affiliate of Hertz) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without restrictions on volume or manner of sale; (iv) such Note has been exchanged for a registered exchange security pursuant to the registration statement filed by the Company; or (v) such Note shall cease to be outstanding.


Terms of the Exchange Offer

General

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, which constitute the exchange offer, all Notes validly tendered and not validly

36


Table of Contents

withdrawn on or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of                    , 2013 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, being referred to herein as the "expiration date"), will be accepted for exchange. We will issue Exchange Notes in exchange for an equal principal amount of outstanding Notes accepted in the exchange offer. You may only tender Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Holders who do not tender all of their Notes must ensure that they retain a principal amount of Notes equal to at least the minimum authorized denomination of $2,000.

        This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, are being sent to all registered holders as of                    , 2013. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered for exchange. However, our obligation to accept Notes for exchange, and to exchange Exchange Notes for tendered Notes, pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to certain customary conditions as set forth below under "—Conditions." There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of Notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

        Validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes shall be deemed to have been accepted for exchange when, as and if we have given oral or written notice of such acceptance to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of the Notes for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes from us and delivering Exchange Notes to such holders.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes are outstanding in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC.

        Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties (including Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (June 5, 1991), and Shearman & Sterling (July 2, 1993)), we believe that the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder of such Exchange Notes, other than any such holder that is a broker-dealer, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, provided that:

    such holder is not our "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act);

    such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of business;

    such holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of such Exchange Notes (within the meaning of the Securities Act);

    such holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes; and

    such holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

        We have not sought and do not intend to seek a no-action letter from the staff of the SEC, with respect to the effects of the exchange offer, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Notes as it has in previous no-action letters.

        By tendering the Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes, you will represent to us that:

    any Exchange Notes to be received by you will be acquired in the ordinary course of business;

    you have no arrangements or understandings with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes or the Notes (within the meaning of the Securities Act);

    you are not our "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act);

37


Table of Contents

    if you are a broker-dealer, you will receive the Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for the Notes acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes (see "Plan of Distribution");

    if you are not a broker-dealer, you are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and

    you are not acting on behalf of any person that could not truthfully make any of the foregoing representations.

        If you are unable to make the foregoing representations, you may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction unless such sale is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements.

        Each broker-dealer that holds Notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and receives Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer must represent that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. By so representing and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Notes, where such Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that we will make this prospectus, as amended and/or supplemented, available to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with such resale of any class of Exchange Notes, for a period of up to 90 days after the completion of the exchange offer with respect to such Exchange Notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

        Upon completion of the exchange offer, any Notes not exchanged will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest at the rate of 4.250% per annum but, with limited exceptions, holders of Notes who do not exchange their Notes for the Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will no longer be entitled to registration rights and will not be able to offer or sell their Notes unless such Notes are subsequently registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. With limited exceptions, we will have no obligation to effect a subsequent registration of such Notes.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination

        The expiration date for the exchange offer shall be 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of                    , 2013, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the expiration date for the exchange offer shall be the latest date and time to which the exchange offer has been extended.

        To extend the expiration date, we will notify the Exchange Agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will notify the remaining holders of the Notes by means of a press release or other public announcement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date for the exchange offer. Such an announcement may state that we are extending the exchange offer for a specified period of time.

        In relation to the exchange offer, we reserve the right to:

    (1)
    extend the exchange offer, delay acceptance for exchange of any Notes due to an extension of the exchange offer or terminate the exchange offer and not permit acceptance for exchange of Notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions set forth under "—Conditions" shall

38


Table of Contents

      have occurred and shall not have been waived by us prior to the expiration date, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the Exchange Agent; or

    (2)
    amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner deemed by us to be advantageous to the holders of the Notes.

        Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice of such delay, extension, termination or amendment to the Exchange Agent. If the terms of the exchange offer are amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform you of such amendment, and we will extend the exchange offer so that at least five business days remain in such exchange offer from the date notice of such material change is given.

        Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public an announcement of any delay, extension or termination of the exchange offer, we shall have no obligations to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely press release to an appropriate news agency. During any extension period, all Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange.


Interest on the Exchange Notes

        The Exchange Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 4.250% per annum from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Notes surrendered in exchange for Exchange Notes, or from the original issue date of the Notes if no interest has been paid on the Notes surrendered in exchange for Exchange Notes, to the day before the completion of the exchange offer and thereafter, at the applicable rate of interest per annum for the Exchange Notes. However, if the Notes are surrendered for exchange on or after a record date (as set forth below) for an interest payment date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange and as to which interest will be paid, interest on the Exchange Notes received in exchange for such Notes will accrue from the date of such interest payment date. Interest on the Exchange Notes (and the Notes) is payable to holders of record thereof at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date, on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2013. No additional interest will be paid on the Notes tendered and accepted for exchange.


Procedures for Tendering the Notes

        Except as set forth herein, to tender in the exchange offer for the Notes, you must on or prior to the expiration date either:

    complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of such letter of transmittal, have the signatures on such letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by such letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver such letter of transmittal or such facsimile, together with any other required documents, to the Exchange Agent for the Notes; or

    with respect to Notes held in book-entry form, comply with the Automated Tender Offer Program procedures of DTC, as described below.

        In addition, either:

    on or prior to the expiration date, the Exchange Agent must receive certificates representing the Notes, if any, along with the letter of transmittal; or

    on or prior to the expiration date, the Exchange Agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of the Notes into its account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below (along with a properly transmitted agent's message); or

39


Table of Contents

    you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

        We will only issue Exchange Notes in exchange for Notes that are timely and validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The method of delivery of Notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and risk. Rather than mail these items, we recommend that you use an overnight or hand-delivery service. If delivery is by mail, we recommend that you use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery and should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender the Notes. You should not send Notes, the letter of transmittal or other required documents to us. Instead, you must deliver all Notes, the letter of transmittal and other required documents to the Exchange Agent at its address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent."

        Your tender of Notes and our acceptance of such Notes will constitute an agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

        If you are a beneficial owner of Notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender such Notes in the exchange offer, you should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on your behalf.

        Signatures on a letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by a member in good standing of a recognized signature medallion program, an eligible guarantor institution identified in Rule l7Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or one of the following firms (as these terms are used in Rule 17Ad-15): (a) a bank; (b) a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal securities broker, government securities dealer or government securities broker; (c) a credit union; (d) a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or (e) a savings association (each an "Eligible Guarantor Institution"); unless the Notes tendered pursuant to such letter of transmittal are tendered:

    by a registered holder of Notes who has not completed the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or

    for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

        If a letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of Notes listed on the Notes, then the Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder's name appears on the Notes and an Eligible Guarantor Institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.

        If a letter of transmittal or any certificates representing Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by us, submit with such letter of transmittal evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.

        DTC has confirmed that any financial institution that is a DTC participant may use its Automated Tender Offer Program to tender. DTC participants may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the Exchange Agent, electronically transmit an acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer the Notes to the Exchange Agent for the Notes in accordance with its Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent's message to the Exchange Agent for the Notes. In connection with tenders of the Notes, the

40


Table of Contents

term "agent's message" means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the Exchange Agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, that states that:

    DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its Automated Tender Offer Program that such participant is tendering Notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation;

    the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, or, in the case of an agent's message relating to guaranteed delivery, such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery; and

    we may enforce that agreement against such participant.


Absence of Dissenters' Rights

        Holders of the Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer.


Book-Entry Transfer

        Promptly after the date of this prospectus, the Exchange Agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the Notes at DTC as book-entry transfer facility for tenders of the Notes. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant may make book-entry delivery of Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Notes into the Exchange Agent's account for such Notes at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. In addition, although delivery of the Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, the letter of transmittal or a facsimile thereof, together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an agent's message, must in any case be transmitted to and received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" on or prior to the expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.


Acceptance of the Notes for Exchange; Delivery of the Exchange Notes

        Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) will be accepted and Exchange Notes will be issued promptly in exchange therefor after the expiration date. See "—Conditions." For purposes of the exchange offer, the Notes shall be deemed to have been accepted as validly tendered for exchange when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent. For Notes accepted for exchange, the holder of such Notes will receive Exchange Notes in a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Notes.

        In all cases, issuance of Exchange Notes for Notes that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of:

    certificates for such Notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC; and

    a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or a properly transmitted agent's message.

        If any tendered Notes are not accepted or exchanged for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, such unaccepted or such non-exchanged Notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder of such Notes, if in certificated form, or credited to an account maintained with DTC promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

41


Table of Contents

        All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt and withdrawal of the tendered Notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, such determination being final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all Notes not properly tendered or any Notes which, if accepted, would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any irregularities or defects with respect to tender as to particular Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Neither we, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Notes, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned without cost to such holder by the Exchange Agent, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date.

        In addition, we reserve the right in our sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the Indenture pursuant to which the Exchange Notes and the Notes are issued:

    to purchase or make offers for Notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date;

    to redeem the Exchange Notes and Notes as a whole or in part at any time and from time to time, as set forth under "Description of the Exchange Notes—Optional Redemption"; and

    to the extent permitted under applicable law, to purchase the Exchange Notes and Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

        The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.


Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

        Holders who wish to tender their outstanding Notes and (i) whose Notes are not immediately available, (ii) who cannot deliver their Notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the Exchange Agent on a timely basis or (iii) who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer for Notes on a timely basis, may effect a tender if:

    the tender is made through an Eligible Guarantor Institution;

    on or prior to the expiration date, the Exchange Agent receives from such Eligible Guarantor Institution either a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form we provide, by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery or a properly transmitted agent's message and notice of guaranteed delivery which:

    (1)
    sets forth the name and address of the holder of the Notes and the principal amount of Notes tendered;

    (2)
    states the tender is being made thereby; and

    (3)
    guarantees that within three New York Stock Exchange, or "NYSE," trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, or facsimile thereof, together with the certificates for all physically tendered Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation and agent's message, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the Eligible Guarantor Institution with the Exchange Agent; and

    the properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as the certificates for all physically tendered Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry

42


Table of Contents

      confirmation and agent's message, as the case may be, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the Exchange Agent within three NYSE trading days after the expiration date.


Withdrawal of Tenders

        Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date.

        For a withdrawal to be effective, the Exchange Agent must receive a written notice (which may be by facsimile) of withdrawal prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date at its address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" or, with respect to Notes held in book-entry form, you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program system. Any such notice of withdrawal must:

    specify the name of the person having tendered the Notes to be withdrawn;

    identify the Notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of such Notes;

    in the case of Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, specify the number of the account at DTC from which the Notes were tendered and specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC;

    contain a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such Notes exchanged;

    be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which such Notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer to have the trustee with respect to the Notes register the transfer of such Notes in the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and

    specify the name in which such Notes are registered, if different from the person who tendered such Notes.

        If certificates for the Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Exchange Agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, you must also submit:

    the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and

    a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution unless you are an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

        All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of such notice will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, such determination being final and binding on all parties. Any Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the tendering holder of such Notes without cost to such holder, in the case of physically tendered Notes, or credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Notes promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under "—Procedures for Tendering the Notes" at any time on or prior to the expiration date.


Conditions

        Notwithstanding any other provision applicable to the exchange offer, we shall not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer if at any time prior to the expiration date we determine in our reasonable judgment that (i) the exchange offer violates applicable law, any applicable interpretation of the SEC or its staff or (ii) any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by any

43


Table of Contents

governmental agency which might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer, or (iii) any material adverse development has occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to us.

        In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Notes of any holder that has not made to us:

    the representations described under "—Terms of the Exchange Offer—General"; or

    any other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the Exchange Notes under the Securities Act.

        In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Notes tendered, and no Exchange Notes will be issued in exchange for any such Notes, if at any such time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the Indenture governing the Exchange Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we are required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest practicable date.

        The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, prior to the expiration date, in our reasonable discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights prior to the expiration date shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. If we waive any of the foregoing conditions to the exchange offer and determine that such waiver constitutes a material change, we will extend the exchange offer so that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer from the date notice of such material change is given.


Exchange Agent

        Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, has been appointed as Exchange Agent for the exchange offer for the Notes. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, also acts as trustee under the Indenture governing the Notes, which is the same Indenture that will govern the Exchange Notes.

Fees, Expenses and Transfer Taxes

        The expenses of soliciting tenders pursuant to the exchange offer will be borne by us. We will not make any payments to or extend any commissions or concessions to any broker or dealer. We will, however, pay the Exchange Agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the Exchange Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of the prospectus and related documents to the beneficial owners of the Notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange.

        The expenses to be incurred by us in connection with the exchange offer will be paid by us, including fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent and trustee, SEC registration and filing fees and accounting, legal, printing and related fees and expenses.

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of the Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, the Exchange Notes or the Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the registered holder of the Notes tendered, or if tendered Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of the Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes imposed on the registered holder or any other persons will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.


Federal Income Tax Consequences

        We believe that the exchange of the Notes for the Exchange Notes will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations."


Accounting Treatment

        The Exchange Notes will be recorded as carrying the same value as the Notes, which is face value, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes as a result of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be deferred and charged to expense over the term of the Exchange Notes.


Consequences of Failure to Exchange

        Holders of Notes who do not exchange their Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes as set forth in the legend on such Notes as a consequence of the issuance of the Notes pursuant to exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and as otherwise set forth in the Indenture and offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private placement of the Notes. In general, the Notes may only be offered or sold in transactions that are exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable state securities laws. To the extent that Notes are tendered and accepted pursuant to the exchange offer, there may be little or no trading market for untendered and tendered but unaccepted Notes. Restrictions on transfer will make the Notes less attractive to potential investors than the Exchange Notes.

45


Table of Contents


Other

        Participating in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

        We may in the future seek to acquire untendered Notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. However, we have no present plans to acquire any Notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any unexchanged Notes.

46


Table of Contents


USE OF PROCEEDS

        The exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange a like principal amount of Notes, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and bear a different CUSIP or ISIN number, and will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest for failure to observe certain obligations in the registration rights agreement. The Notes surrendered in exchange for Exchange Notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the Exchange Notes will not result in any change in our capitalization.

Table of Contents

(c)
The increases for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily reflect the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition in November 2012 and our acquisition of Donlen in September 2011, respectively, as well as gains from disposal of revenue earning equipment, partly offset by a decrease due to changing depreciation rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, depreciation of revenue earning equipment decreased by $0.6 million, $0.2 million, $130.1 million and $18.2 million and increased by $22.7 million, $19.3 million and $32.7 million, respectively, resulting from the net effects of changing depreciation rates to reflect changes in the estimated residual value of revenue earning equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges includes net gains of $1.3 million, $39.4 million, $96.8 million and $112.2 million and net losses of $42.9 million, $72.0 million and $74.3 million, respectively, from the disposal of revenue earning equipment.

(d)
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded non-cash impairment charges related to our goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment.

(e)
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, tax valuation allowances decreased by $13.7 million, increased by $19.2 million and $35.8 million, decreased by $2.5 million and increased by $27.5 million, $39.7 million and $58.5 million, respectively (excluding the effects of foreign currency translation), relating to the realization of deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses, credits and other temporary differences in various jurisdictions. In 2011, we reversed a valuation allowance of $12.0 million relating to realization of deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses and other temporary differences in Australia and China. Additionally, certain tax reserves were recorded and certain tax reserves were released due to settlement for various uncertain tax positions in Federal, state and foreign jurisdictions.

(f)
Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment, as well as certain related assets, are owned by special purpose entities, or are subject to liens in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. For a description of those facilities, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 is presented on a pro forma basis to give effect to (i) the November 2012 acquisition (the "Dollar Thrifty Acquisition") of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Dollar Thrifty"), by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hertz Holdings") and the parent of The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Hertz"), (ii) the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC (the "Advantage Divestiture"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated its Advantage Rent A Car business ("Advantage"), and of selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions and certain other assets to Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc. (the "Advantage Buyer"), and (iii) the financing of $1,950.0 million to fund the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition (collectively, the "Pro Forma Transactions"), in each case, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012. The effects of the Pro Forma Transactions are already reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, our unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, in each case included elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement, or the "pro forma financial statement," to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the applicable Pro Forma Transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

        The following pro forma financial statement was derived in part from and should be read in conjunction with:

    the consolidated financial statements of Hertz as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus; and

    the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hertz as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        The pro forma financial statement has been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma financial statement is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Pro Forma Transactions been completed as of the date indicated. In addition, the pro forma financial statement does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. There were no material transactions between Hertz and Dollar Thrifty during the period presented in the pro forma financial statement that would need to be eliminated.

        The pro forma financial statement reflects the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and is subject to change and interpretation. Hertz has been treated as the acquirer in the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition for accounting purposes. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the pro forma financial statement.

        The allocation of the purchase price as reflected within the pro forma financial statement is based on the best information available to management at the time of the preparation of this prospectus and is preliminary pending the completion of the final valuation analysis of the Dollar Thrifty assets and liabilities, including the valuation of income taxes. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of preparing the pro forma financial statement and are based upon information available at the time of the preparation of this prospectus. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the pro forma financial statement and the combined company's future results of operations and financial position.

51


Table of Contents

        The pro forma financial statement does not reflect non-recurring income statement items arising directly as a result of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, any cost savings or other synergies that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, the costs to integrate the operations of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings and other synergies. The effects of the foregoing items could, individually or in the aggregate, materially impact the pro forma financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statement

1.     Description of Pro Forma Transactions

    The Dollar Thrifty Acquisition

        On November 19, 2012, Hertz Holdings completed the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 26, 2012 (the "Merger Agreement"), with Dollar Thrifty and HDTMS, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub completed a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") in which it purchased a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock then outstanding at a price equal to $87.50 per share in cash. Merger Sub subsequently acquired the remaining shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock by means of a short-form merger (the "Merger") in which such shares were converted into the right to receive the same $87.50 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. The total purchase price was approximately $2,591.6 million, comprised of $2,550.2 million of cash, including our use of approximately $404.0 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty, and the fair value of our previously held equity interest in Dollar Thrifty of $41.4 million.

        In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, Hertz Holdings agreed to dispose of Advantage, to secure for the Advantage Buyer certain on-airport car rental concessions and related assets at 13 locations where Dollar Thrifty operated at least one of its brands prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition (the "Initial Airport Locations") and to secure for the Advantage Buyer or, in certain cases, one or more other Federal Trade Commission-approved buyers, on-airport car rental concessions at 13 additional locations where Dollar Thrifty operated prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition (the "Secondary Airport Locations"). The Advantage Buyer agreed to assume all of the Secondary Airport Locations. For a further discussion of the expected impact of the disposition of the Initial Airport Locations and the Secondary Airport Locations refer to Note 4 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

    The Advantage Divestiture

        On December 12, 2012, Hertz consummated the Advantage Divestiture, pursuant to which it sold Simply Wheelz LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary that operated our Advantage business, to the Advantage Buyer. For a further discussion of the impact of the disposition of Advantage refer to Note 4 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

    Issuance of the 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes and Incurrence of Incremental Term Loans

        On October 16, 2012, HDTFS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz (the "Escrow Issuer"), issued $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), each in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from this issuance were placed in escrow pending consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, the proceeds from the issuance were released from escrow, the Escrow Issuer merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz continuing as the surviving entity, and Hertz assumed the Escrow Issuer's obligations under the 2020 Notes, the 2022 Notes and the indenture governing the same (which is also the Indenture governing the Notes and the Exchange Notes). The proceeds of this issuance were used to: (i) finance a portion of the consideration in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, (ii) pay off existing indebtedness and other obligations of Dollar Thrifty and its subsidiaries in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and (iii) pay fees and other transaction expenses in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and related financing transactions.

        On October 9, 2012, Hertz entered into an Incremental Commitment Amendment to its March 2011 credit agreement, which had provided for a $1,400.0 million term loan (the "Senior Term Facility"), with an average interest rate of 3.75% at December 31, 2012. The Incremental Commitment Amendment increased the amount available under the Senior Term Facility by providing for commitments for an additional $750.0 million of incremental terms loans (the "Incremental Term Loans") under the Senior Term Facility. Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, the Incremental Term Loans were fully drawn and the proceeds therefrom were used to: (i) finance a portion of the consideration in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, (ii) pay off existing indebtedness and other obligations of Dollar Thrifty and its subsidiaries in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and (iii) pay fees and other transaction expenses in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and related financing transactions.

2.     Basis of Presentation

        The pro forma financial statement was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Dollar Thrifty to conform with Hertz's presentation, primarily related to the presentation of (i) interest income, which Dollar Thrifty shows net with interest expense and (ii) the increase (decrease) in the fair value of derivatives which Dollar Thrifty presents as a separate line item, but which Hertz includes in "Selling, general and administrative."

        In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, Hertz Holdings agreed to divest its Advantage business. As such, this pro forma financial statement reflects adjustments to eliminate the results of operations of Advantage (prior to such divestiture) for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additionally, in order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, Hertz Holdings agreed to secure for the Advantage Buyer certain on-airport car rental concessions and related assets at the Initial Airport Locations and the Secondary Airport Locations. This pro forma financial statement reflects adjustments to eliminate the results of operations of the Initial Airport Locations and the Secondary Airport Locations. As part of the agreement with the Advantage Buyer, Hertz Holdings will also be providing financial support to the Advantage Buyer. See Note 6 for further discussion of the financial support fees.

        ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the effective time of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. ASC 820 defines the term "fair value" and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, Hertz may be required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect Hertz's intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

        Under ASC 805 acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges impacting the target company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the

periods in which the costs are incurred. Total advisory, legal, regulatory and valuation costs directly related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and incurred by Hertz and Dollar Thrifty for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $68.9 million and $41.6 million, respectively, and have been removed from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they reflect non-recurring charges directly related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

3.     Estimate of Total Acquisition Costs

        The following represents total acquisition costs of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition:

 
  (In millions,
except share and
per share
amounts)
 

Dollar Thrifty common stock shares outstanding, less shares owned by Hertz at November 19, 2012

    27,585  

Cash per share

  $ 87.50  
       

Cash consideration for outstanding shares

    2,413.7  

Value of Dollar Thrifty stock options settled in cash(a)

    104.9  

Value of Dollar Thrifty performance unit share awards and restricted stock units settled in cash(b)

    30.9  

Option exchange

    0.5  

Payment for shares to execute top-up option

    0.2  
       

Total cash consideration transferred

    2,550.2  

Dollar Thrifty common stock shares previously owned by Hertz at November 19, 2012

    41.4  
       

Total acquisition costs

  $ 2,591.6  
       

(a)
Represents the cash consideration paid to holders of Dollar Thrifty stock options. At the date the Tender Offer was completed, the holders of each stock option were entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of 1) the number of shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock subject to such award and 2) the excess, if any, of $87.50 over the exercise price per share of Dollar Thrifty common stock. In accordance with ASC 805, the fair value of outstanding Dollar Thrifty stock options, which are immediately vested upon consummation of the Tender Offer, has been attributed to precombination service and included in the consideration transferred.

(b)
Represents the cash consideration paid to holders of Dollar Thrifty performance units and restricted stock units for service prior to the consummation of the Tender Offer. At the date the Tender Offer was completed, the holders of each performance unit and each restricted stock unit became fully vested in such award and were entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock subject to such award (in the case of performance units, as if performance was achieved at the target level) and (2) $87.50. ASC 805 requires that cash payments made to settle vested awards attributable to precombination service be included in the consideration transferred. Additionally, approximately $13.3 million in payments associated with performance units and restricted stock units associated with post-combination services have been expensed after consummation of the Tender Offer.

4.     Purchase Price Allocation

        The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price (including Dollar Thrifty common stock shares previously owned by Hertz) of $2,591.6 million to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Hertz in the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition:

 
  (In millions)  

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 535.2  

Restricted cash

    306.5  

Accounts receivable

    170.0  

Inventories

    8.0  

Prepaid expenses and other assets

    41.3  

Revenue Earning Equipment

    1,614.5  

Property, plant and equipment

    119.4  

Identifiable intangible assets

    1,545.0  

Other assets

    35.1  

Goodwill

    893.4  

Accounts payable

    (43.5 )

Accrued liabilities

    (288.6 )

Deferred income tax

    (860.5 )

Debt

    (1,484.2 )
       

Net Assets acquired

  $ 2,591.6  
       

        The identifiable intangible assets of $1,545.0 million consist of $1,140.0 million of trade names with an indefinite life and $405.0 million of concession agreements. The concession agreements will be amortized over their expected useful lives of 9 years on a straight line basis.

        The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $893.4 million which is attributable to the synergies and economies of scale provided to a market participant. The goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes. All such goodwill is reported in the car rental segment.

        The amounts above are considered preliminary pending the completion of the final valuation analysis of the Dollar Thrifty assets and liabilities, including the valuation of income taxes. Thus these amounts are subject to refinement and additional adjustments to record fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the pro forma financial statement and the combined company's future results of operations and financial position.

5.     Pro Forma Adjustments

        Adjustments included in the column under the heading "Dollar Thrifty Pro Forma Adjustments" represent the following:

    (a)
    In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, Hertz Holdings agreed to secure for the Advantage Buyer certain on-airport car rental concessions and related assets at the Initial Airport Locations and at the Secondary Airport Locations. This pro forma financial statement reflects adjustments to eliminate the results of operations of the Initial Airport Locations and the Secondary Airport Locations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

    (b)
    To adjust depreciation expense due to fair value adjustment related to acquired revenue earning equipment.

57

    (d)
    To eliminate advisory, legal, regulatory and one time retention costs incurred by Hertz and Dollar Thrifty totaling $152.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 that are directly attributable to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition but that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company's results. See Note 2 for a further explanation.

    (e)
    To eliminate the estimated support fees that Hertz Holdings is obligated to provide to the owner or buyers of the Secondary Airport Locations. These amounts are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as post-combination expenses.

    (f)
    To adjust interest expense as follows:

 
  Year Ended
December 31, 2012
 
 
  (In millions)
 

Amortization of the fair value adjustment to debt

  $ (7.2 )

Elimination of interest expense due to the extinguishment of Dollar Thrifty's existing non-vehicle debt(i)

    (h)
    To eliminate one time gain related to equity interest previously held in Dollar Thrifty.

    (i)
    To eliminate one time impairment charge related to Dollar Thrifty locations subject to divestiture.

    (j)
    To record the preliminary estimated tax effect of the pro forma adjustments. Hertz has generally assumed a 39% tax rate when estimating the tax impacts of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, representing the statutory tax rate for Hertz. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-Dollar Thrifty Acquisition activities, cash needs and the geographical location of businesses.

6.     Advantage

    (a)
    In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, Hertz Holdings agreed to divest its Advantage business. As such, this pro forma financial statement reflects adjustments to eliminate the results of operations of Advantage for the year ended December 31, 2012.

    (b)
    As part of the agreement to sell Advantage, Hertz agreed to lease and sublease vehicles to the Advantage Buyer for use in continuing the operations of Advantage, for a period no longer than two years. As such, this pro forma financial statement includes an estimated amount of leasing revenue to be earned by Hertz from leasing these vehicles to the Advantage Buyer and the related income tax impact. The depreciation and other expenses associated with the vehicles being leased to the Advantage Buyer have not been eliminated from the pro forma financial statement, as their costs remain as part of Hertz's ongoing operations associated with owning such vehicles.

The pro forma financial statement does not reflect Hertz's expected realization of any cost savings or other synergies. These savings and synergies are expected in direct operating, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and selling, general and administrative functions. Although Hertz management expects that cost savings and other synergies will result from the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, there can be no assurance that these cost savings and other synergies will be achieved. The pro forma financial statement also does not reflect estimated restructuring and integration charges associated with the expected cost savings or other synergies. Hertz realized a loss (before income taxes) of approximately $31.4 million, including support fees to the Advantage Buyer as described in Note 5(g) as a result of the Advantage Divestiture. This loss excludes acquisition related expenses included in the financial statements of Hertz through December 31, 2012.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

        You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the section of this prospectus entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the respective related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this prospectus.


Corporate History

        Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz Holdings was incorporated by certain entities (the "Sponsor Parties") affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, The Carlyle Group and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. In December 2005, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to such acquisition of all of Hertz's common stock herein as the "Sponsor Party Acquisition."

        Prior to Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006, the Sponsor Parties held substantially all of Hertz Holdings' common stock. In connection with Hertz Holdings' initial public offering and subsequent offerings of shares held by the Sponsor Parties, the Sponsor Parties' holdings of common stock were intermittently reduced. On May 9, 2013, certain of the Sponsor Parties completed the sale of 49,800,405 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as the underwriters in the registered public offering of those shares (the "Exit Transaction"). Immediately upon completion of the Exit Transaction, the Sponsor Parties' holdings of Hertz Holdings' common stock were reduced to de minimis amounts that the Sponsor Parties and certain affiliated entities had previously received from their director nominees' equity-based compensation for service on Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors or acquired in the ordinary course of business. For more information regarding the Exit Transaction, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Summary—Recent Developments—Exit Transaction of the Sponsor Parties and Termination of Related Agreements."


Overview of Our Business

        We are engaged principally in the business of renting and leasing of cars and equipment.

        Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

    Car rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated car rental and fleet leasing operations and management services, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage and other products);

    Equipment rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated equipment rental operations, including amounts charged to customers for the fueling and delivery of equipment and sale of loss damage waivers, as well as revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables); and

    Other revenues (primarily relating to fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and from Adreca Holdings Corp. for the sublease of vehicles).

60


Table of Contents

        Our expenses primarily consist of:

    Direct operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; the cost of new equipment and consumables purchased for resale; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning equipment, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs);

    Depreciation expense and lease charges relating to revenue earning equipment (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such equipment). Revenue earning equipment includes cars and rental equipment;

    Selling, general and administrative expenses (including advertising); and

    Interest expense.

        Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of cars and equipment or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of non-program and program vehicles based on market conditions. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.


Car Rental

        In the U.S., as of March 31, 2013, the percentage of non-program cars was 96% as compared to 84% as of March 31, 2012. Internationally, as of March 31, 2013, the percentage of non-program cars was 72%, compared to 75% as of March 31, 2012. In the U.S., as of December 31, 2012, the percentage of non-program cars was 95% as compared to 83% as of December 31, 2011. Internationally, as of December 31, 2012, the percentage of non-program cars was 79%, compared to 75% as of December 31, 2011.

        In recent periods we have decreased the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet and we expect this percentage to remain stable in the future. In particular, the percentage of program cars in our fleet decreased following our completion of our acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, which operated a lower percentage of program cars than Hertz immediately prior to our completion of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Non-program cars typically have lower acquisition costs and lower depreciation rates than comparable program cars. With fewer program cars in our fleet, we have an increased risk that the market value of a car at the time of its disposition will be less than its estimated residual value. However, non-program cars allow us the opportunity for ancillary revenue, such as warranty and financing, during disposition. Program cars generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand. This flexibility is reduced as the percentage of non-program cars in our car rental fleet increases. Furthermore, the average age of our fleet is expected to increase as the percentage of non-program cars in our car rental fleet increases, since the average holding period for non-program vehicles is longer than program vehicles. However, the longer holding period does not necessarily equate to higher costs due to the stringent turnback requirements imposed by vehicle manufacturers for program cars.

        In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, our monthly per vehicle depreciation costs decreased as compared to the prior year period due to improved residual values in the U.S., a continued move towards a greater proportion of non-program vehicles, mix optimization and improved procurement and remarketing efforts.

Table of Contents

        Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 2011 and 2010, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net decreases of $0.7 million, $0.2 million, $130.6 million and $13.8 million and an increase of $19.1 million in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in an increase of $0.1 million, no change, an increase of $0.5 million, a decrease of $4.4 million and an increase of $3.6 million in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 75,400, 43,000, 178,300, 164,100 and 161,200 non-program cars, respectively, a 75.4% year over year increase in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 versus the corresponding period in 2012 and an 8.7% year over year increase in 2012 versus 2011. The increase in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to the continued shift from program to non-program vehicles and residuals remaining fairly strong during such period. The increase in 2012 was due to strong car sales during the first half of 2012. This increase was partially offset due to a stronger than normal car sales market in the third quarter of 2011, which came about as a result of a shortage of new and used vehicles available for sale, created primarily by the events in Japan in early 2011. In addition, rental demand was stronger compared with the same prior year period, which reduced required defleeting non-program car sales volume. We believe the residual values have remained fairly stronger primarily due to continued short supply of recent model year used vehicles and aided by strong new vehicle sales.

        For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we experienced a 31.7% increase in transaction days and a 4.8% increase in total revenue per transaction day, or "total RPD," versus the prior period in the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, in our European operations, we experienced a 1.7% decline in transaction days and a 3.0% decline in total RPD when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, we experienced a 12.6% increase in transaction days and a 3.1% decline in rental rate revenue per transaction day, or "RPD," versus the prior period in the United States. During the year ended December 31, 2012, in our European operations, we experienced a 3.1% decline in transaction days and a 3.2% decline in RPD when compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

        In the first quarter of 2013, we elected to change the metric that represents our revenue per transaction day from "rental rate revenue per transaction day," or "RPD," to "total revenue per transaction day," or "total RPD." As a result, the total RPD metric will be used in comparisons of our results of operations between the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, while the RPD metric will be used in comparisons of our results of operations between the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

        "RPD" is calculated as all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units in the U.S. and certain ancillary revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency for such period.

        The "total RPD" metric differs from the RPD metric in that the former includes revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs and NeverLost units in the U.S.

        Our U.S. off-airport operations represented $320.4 million, $283.9 million, $1,306.4 million, $1,198.6 million and $1,079.8 million of our total car rental revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, we have 2,574 off-airport locations. Our strategy includes selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. Our strategy also includes increasing penetration in the off-airport market and growing the online leisure market, particularly in the longer length weekly sector, which is characterized by lower vehicle costs and lower transaction costs at a lower total RPD. Increasing our penetration in these sectors is consistent with our long-term strategy to generate profitable growth. When we open a new off-airport location, we incur a number of costs, including those relating to site selection, lease negotiation, recruitment of employees, selection and development of managers, initial sales activities and integration of our systems with those of the companies who will reimburse the location's replacement renters for their rentals. A new off-airport location, once opened, takes time to generate its full potential revenues and, as a result, revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operations.

        For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Donlen had an average of approximately 165,600 vehicles and 141,500 vehicles, respectively, under lease and management. Donlen's fleet management programs provide outsourced solutions to reduce fleet operating costs and improve driver productivity. These programs include administration of preventive maintenance, advisory services, and fuel and accident management along with other complementary services.

        As of March 31, 2013, our worldwide car rental operations had a total of approximately 10,460 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand.

        On November 19, 2012, pursuant to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity of Dollar Thrifty, a car and truck rental and leasing business. As of March 31, 2013, Dollar Thrifty had approximately 280 corporate locations in the United States and Canada, with approximately 5,800 employees located mainly in North America. In addition to its corporate operations, Dollar Thrifty had approximately 1,220 franchise locations in 85 countries. Dollar Thrifty brings to Hertz an immediate leadership position in the value-priced rental vehicle market generally appealing to leisure customers, including domestic and foreign tourists, and to small businesses, government and independent business travelers.


Equipment Rental

        HERC experienced higher rental volumes and pricing for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the prior year as the industry continued its recovery in North America. The recovery has been led by strong industrial performance, especially oil and gas related, and improvement in the construction sector in part reflecting higher rental penetration. We continued to see growth in our specialty services such as Pump & Power, Industrial Plant Services and Hertz Entertainment Services. Additionally, there continue to be opportunities for 2013 as the uncertain economic outlook makes rental solutions attractive to customers. Our European equipment rental business, which represents approximately 7% of our worldwide equipment rental revenues, saw a revenue decline of 12.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the prior year period, due to the unfavorable industry conditions in Europe.

        On January 19, 2012, HERC acquired Cinelease Holdings, LLC, or "Cinelease," a U.S. market leader in lighting and grip rentals to the television industry.

        As of March 31, 2013, HERC had a total of approximately 340 branches in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia.

Seasonality

        Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including efficiency initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Approximately two-thirds of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining one-third is fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, certain operating expenses, including rent, insurance, and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. Revenues related to our fleet leasing and management services are generally not seasonal.


Restructuring

        As part of our ongoing effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we have evaluated our workforce and operations and made adjustments, including headcount reductions and business process reengineering resulting in optimized work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlined our back-office operations and evaluated potential outsourcing opportunities. When we made adjustments to our workforce and operations, we incurred incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increased operating efficiency and reduced costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

        During 2007 through 2012, we announced several initiatives to improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions. These initiatives included, but were not limited to, job reductions at our corporate headquarters and back-office operations in the U.S. and Europe. As part of our re-engineering optimization we outsourced selected functions globally. In addition, we streamlined operations and reduced costs by initiating the closure of targeted car rental locations and equipment rental branches throughout the world. The largest of these closures occurred in 2008 which resulted in closures of approximately 250 off-airport locations and 22 branches in our U.S. equipment rental business. These initiatives impacted approximately 9,610 employees.

        During the first quarter of 2013, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of several car rental and equipment rental locations globally as well as a reduction in our workforce by approximately 50 employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, our consolidated statements of operations include restructuring charges relating to various initiatives of $3.7 million, $6.7 million, $38.0 million, $56.4 million and $54.7 million, respectively.

        Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed; however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP." The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

        We believe the following accounting policies may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results. For additional discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 2 to both our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Acquisition Accounting

        We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires an allocation of the purchase price of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

Revenue Earning Equipment

        Our principal assets are revenue earning equipment, which represented approximately 58% and 55%, respectively, of our total assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Revenue earning equipment consists of vehicles utilized in our car rental operations and equipment utilized in our equipment rental operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, 20% and 30%, respectively, of the vehicles purchased for our combined U.S. and international car rental fleets were subject to repurchase by automobile manufacturers under contractual repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, subject to certain manufacturers' car condition and mileage requirements, at a specific price during a specified time period. These programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under these programs. For all other vehicles, as well as equipment acquired by our equipment rental business, we use historical experience and monitor market conditions to set depreciation rates. Generally, when revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period that we will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage and equipment usage) and the targeted age of equipment at the time of disposal. We also estimate the residual value of the applicable revenue earning equipment at the expected time of disposal. The residual values for rental vehicles are affected by many factors, including make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year and channel of disposition (e.g., auction, retail, dealer direct). The residual value for rental equipment is affected by factors which include equipment age and amount of usage. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Market conditions for used vehicle and equipment sales can also be affected by external factors such as the economy, natural disasters, fuel prices and incentives offered by manufacturers of new cars. These key factors are considered when estimating future residual values and assessing depreciation rates. As a result of this ongoing assessment, we make periodic adjustments to depreciation rates of revenue earning equipment in response to changing market conditions. Upon disposal of revenue earning equipment, depreciation expense is adjusted for any difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value and a corresponding gain or loss is recorded.

Table of Contents

        Within our Donlen subsidiary, revenue earning equipment is under longer term lease agreements with our customers. These leases contain provisions whereby we have a contracted residual value guaranteed to us by the lessee, such that we do not experience any gains or losses on the disposal of these vehicles. Therefore depreciation rates on these vehicles are not adjusted at any point in time per the associated lease contract.

        See Note 8 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 7 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Public Liability and Property Damage

        The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on rental volume and actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results. Our actual results as compared to our estimates have historically resulted in relatively minor adjustments to our recorded liability.

Pension Benefit Obligations

        Our employee pension costs and obligations are dependent on our assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations. The various employee-related actuarial assumptions (e.g., retirement rates, mortality rates, salary growth) used in determining pension costs and plan liabilities are reviewed periodically by management, assisted by the enrolled actuary, and updated as warranted. The discount rate used to value the pension liabilities and related expenses and the expected rate of return on plan assets are the two most significant assumptions impacting pension expense. The discount rate used is a market-based spot rate as of the valuation date. For the expected return on assets assumption, we use a forward-looking rate that is based on the expected return for each asset class (including the value added by active investment management), weighted by the target asset allocation. The past annualized long-term performance of the Plans' assets has generally been in line with the long-term rate of return assumption. See Note 6 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 9 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. For a discussion of the risks associated with our pension plans, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We could face a significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate and at least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have underfunded liabilities."

Goodwill

        We review goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable, and also review goodwill annually. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Goodwill must be tested at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment

66


Table of Contents

by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a business one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. However, components are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model for impairment testing include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections and terminal value rates. Discount rates are set by using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, or "WACC," methodology. The WACC methodology considers market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit in determining the appropriate discount rates to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. The cash flows represent management's most recent planning assumptions. These assumptions are based on a combination of industry outlooks, views on general economic conditions, our expected pricing plans and expected future savings generated by our past restructuring activities. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant WACC and low long-term growth rates. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. A significant decline in the projected cash flows or a change in the WACC used to determine fair value could result in a future goodwill impairment charge.

        In the fourth quarter 2012, we performed our annual impairment analysis based upon market data as of October 1, 2012 and concluded that there was no impairment related to our goodwill and our other indefinite lived intangible assets. At October 1, 2012, we had five reporting units: U.S. Car Rental, Europe Car Rental, Other International Car Rental, Donlen and Worldwide Equipment Rental.

        We performed the impairment analyses for our reporting units, using our business and long-term strategic plans, revised to reflect the current economic conditions. Our weighted-average cost of capital used in the discounted cash flow model was calculated based upon the fair value of our debt and our stock price with a debt to equity ratio comparable to our industry. The total fair value of our reporting units was then compared to our market capitalization to ensure their reasonableness.

        See Note 3 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 4 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

        We re-evaluate the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets annually or as circumstances change. Those intangible assets considered to have indefinite useful lives, including our trade name, are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the intangible assets to their carrying value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. In addition, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangible assets might not be recoverable, we will perform an impairment review.

        The valuation of our indefinite-lived assets utilized the relief from royalty method, which incorporates cash flows and discount rates comparable to those discussed above. We also considered the excess earnings as a percentage of revenues to ensure their reasonableness. Our analysis supported our conclusion that an impairment did not exist.

Derivatives

        We periodically enter into cash flow and other hedging transactions to specifically hedge exposure to various risks related to interest rates, fuel prices and foreign currency rates. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading

67


Table of Contents

purposes. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item, based upon the nature of the hedged item. For derivative instruments that are not part of a qualified hedging relationship, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in earnings. The valuation methods used to mark these to market are either market quotes (for fuel swaps, interest rate caps and foreign exchange instruments) or a discounted cash flow method (for interest rate swaps). The key inputs for the discounted cash flow method are the current yield curve and the credit default swap spread. These valuations are subject to change based on movements in items such as the London inter-bank offered rate, or "LIBOR," our credit worthiness and unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel prices.

Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Subsequent changes to enacted tax rates and changes to the global mix of earnings will result in changes to the tax rates used to calculate deferred taxes and any related valuation allowances. Provisions are not made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes. Future distributions, if any, from these international subsidiaries to the United States or changes in U.S. tax rules may require recording a tax on these amounts. We have recorded a deferred tax asset for unutilized net operating loss carryforwards in various tax jurisdictions. Upon utilization, the taxing authorities may examine the positions that led to the generations of those net operating losses. If the utilization of any of those losses are disallowed a deferred tax liability may have to be recorded.

        See Note 9 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 6 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and forfeiture rate. These factors combined with the stock price on the date of grant result in a fixed expense which is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The key factors used in the valuation process, other than the forfeiture rate and volatility, remained unchanged from the date of grant. Because the stock of Hertz Holdings became publicly traded in November 2006 and had a short trading history, it was not practicable for us to estimate the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings' share price, or a peer company share price, because there was not sufficient historical information about past volatility prior to 2012. Therefore, prior to 2012 we used the calculated value method, substituting the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings' common stock price as an assumption in the valuation model. We selected the Dow Jones Specialized Consumer Services sub-sector within the consumer services industry, and we used the U.S. large capitalization component, which includes the top 70% of the index universe (by market value). The calculation of the

68


Table of Contents

historical volatility of the index was made using the daily historical closing values of the index for the preceding 6.25 years, because that is the expected term of the options using the simplified approach.

        Beginning in 2012, we have determined that there is now sufficient historical information available to estimate the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings' stock price. Therefore for equity awards made in 2012 the assumed volatility for Hertz Holdings' stock price is based on a weighted average combining implied volatility and the average of our peer's most recent 5.79-year volatility and mean reversion volatility. The assumed dividend yield is zero. The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity approximately equal to the expected term of the options, as of the grant dates. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Stock Incentive Plan," the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Director Plan," and the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan," are pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level. See Note 7 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 10 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have excluded from our evaluation the internal controls over financial reporting of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., or "Dollar Thrifty," which was acquired on November 19, 2012. The total assets and total revenues of the excluded business represented 21% and 2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which appears elsewhere in this prospectus.

As indicated above under "—Car Rental," in the first quarter of 2013, we changed the metric that represents our revenue per transaction day from "rental rate revenue per transaction day," or "RPD," to "total revenue per transaction day," or "total RPD." As a result, our results of

Table of Contents

    operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 represent total RPD, while our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 represent RPD. For purposes of calculating the total RPD metric, "total rental revenue" consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding non-rental revenues derived from Donlen. Total RPD is calculated as total rental revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. For purposes of calculating the RPD metric, "rental rate revenue" consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units in the U.S. and certain ancillary revenue. RPD is calculated as rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. Total RPD and RPD are important to our management and investors because they represent the best measurements of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompass the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control, with total RPD including certain revenue items not included in RPD. The following tables reconcile (i) with respect to total RPD, our car rental segment revenues to our total rental revenue and total RPD (based on December 31, 2012 foreign exchange rates) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and (ii) with respect to RPD, our car rental segment revenues to our rental rate revenue and RPD (based on December 31, 2011 foreign exchange rates) for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, in each case in millions of dollars, except as noted:

    Adjusted pre-tax income is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally.

Equipment rental and rental related revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management and investors as it is utilized in the measurement of rental revenue generated per dollar invested in fleet on an annualized basis and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants. The following table reconciles our equipment rental segment revenues to our equipment rental and rental related revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (based on December 31, 2012 foreign exchange rates) and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (based on December 31, 2011 foreign exchange rates) (in millions of dollars):

Car Rental Segment

        Revenues from our car rental segment increased 25.7%, primarily due to Dollar Thrifty which was acquired on November 19, 2012, partially offset by the Advantage Divestiture. Excluding the effects of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and the Advantage Divestiture, rental revenues in the U.S. increased $63.8 million. In addition, there were revenue increases in the U.S. of $20.4 million from fleet subleases, $16.6 million from Donlen leasing transactions, and $6.8 million obtained from licensee transactions. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in international revenues of $10.7 million, and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.9 million.

        Worldwide car rental transaction day volume was up 23.4%, due to an increase in U.S. transaction volume of 31.7% and an increase in international transaction day volume of 1.8%. The increase in the U.S. transaction volume was primarily due to Dollar Thrifty, partially offset by the Advantage Divestiture. Total worldwide revenue per transaction increased 5.1%, driven by an increase in U.S. revenue per transaction of 9.5% partially offset by a decrease in international revenue per transaction of 2.2%.

        Our total RPD metric now reflects total car rental revenue per transaction day. See "—Car Rental" above. Total RPD for worldwide car rental for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 2.6% from 2012, due to an increase in U.S. total RPD of 4.8%, partly offset by a decrease in International total RPD of 1.2%. U.S. airport total RPD, excluding the impact of Dollar Thrifty, increased 12.2% and U.S. off-airport total RPD increased by 0.5%. The increase in U.S. airport total RPD was due to a 7.1% increase in revenue, excluding the impact of Dollar Thrifty and Advantage, accompanied by the divestiture of Advantage, which had a lower airport total RPD average. International total RPD decreased primarily driven by a decrease in Europe total RPD of 3.0% due to the competitive pricing environment and continued slow economy growth.

Equipment Rental Segment

        Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 16.2%, primarily due to increases of 15.7% and 3.6% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $0.3 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial and improving construction performance.

Other

        Revenues from all other sources increased $0.1 million, from the prior year period.

Direct Operating Expenses

    Car Rental Segment

        Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $1,152.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 23.9% from $929.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and the growth in U.S. revenue, partially offset by the Advantage Divestiture.

    Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $525.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 25.9% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, partially offset by the Advantage Divestiture. Excluding the effects of Dollar Thrifty and Advantage there was an increase in concessions of $5.5 million, and customer service costs of $4.2 million due largely to the NeverLost system. In addition there were increases in commissions of $3.1 million associated with increased revenue, and field systems expenses of $2.4 million.

    Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment of $369.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 18.8% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, partly offset by the Advantage Divestiture.

    Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment of $257.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 21.7% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, partly offset by a decrease in fleet related expenses associated with the Advantage Divestiture. Excluding the effects of Dollar Thrifty and Advantage there was an increase in vehicle damage costs in the U.S. of $11.2 million due to increased winter storms this year versus the prior year along with an increase in the number of vehicles, and an increase in average loss per vehicle. In addition there was an increase in gasoline expense of $4.3 million related to inventory adjustments and higher gas costs, and maintenance expense of $2.7 million driven mainly by the fleet growth.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $200.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 7.4% from $186.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, personnel related expenses and fleet related expenses associated with business growth.

    Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $76.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $1.6 million, or 2.1% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to increases of $2.5 million in cost of sales due to higher equipment sales, increased facilities costs of $0.9 million and field systems of $0.8 million, partly offset by a decrease in restructuring and restructuring related charges of $3.8 million.

    Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $65.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $4.5 million, or 7.4%, from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was related to increases in salaries and related expenses of $4.2 million and higher payroll taxes of $0.4 million.

    Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $57.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $7.7 million, or 15.5% from the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily related to increased maintenance expense of $3.5 million and other equipment operating costs of $3.9 million.

Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges

    Car Rental Segment

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges for our car rental segment of $513.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 13.6% from $451.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges decreased from 27.2% in the first quarter of 2012 to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease as a percent of revenues was driven primarily by an increase in residual values and corresponding lower depreciation rates in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012. The $62.1 million increase in depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges was primarily due to higher depreciation expense related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition in November 2012, and increased fleet size in the U.S. and Donlen, partially offset by the Advantage Divestiture and lower per car depreciation rates and a higher mix of non-program cars.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 16.7% from $63.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an 12.8% increase in the average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period, partly offset by higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $43.9 million or 21.1% from the prior year period, due to increases in administrative expenses and sales promotion expenses, partially offset by a decrease in advertising expenses.

    Administrative expenses increased $32.2 million or 24.8%, primarily due to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition as well as increases in shared service expenses of $2.9 million and restructuring related charges of $1.9 million.

    Advertising expenses increased $10.4 million or 25.1%, primarily due to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, partly offset by lower production and marketing costs in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the prior year period.

    Sales promotion expenses increased $1.3 million or 3.6%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, partly offset by lower sales related general administrative expenses.

Interest Expense

    Car Rental Segment

        Interest expense for our car rental segment of $75.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 5.9% from $80.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily lower weighted average interest rates in the U.S and Europe, partly offset by an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding as a result of an increase in fleet size in the US, and additional interest expense related to debt used to finance the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 4.7% from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in weighted average debt outstanding as a result of an increased fleet size.

    Other

        Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 31.7% from $56.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the debt used to finance the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

Interest Income

        Interest income decreased $0.7 million from the prior year period.

Other Income, Net

        Other income increased $0.1 million from the prior year period.


ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME

Car Rental Segment

        Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $208.4 million increased 127.5% from $91.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

        The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 69.2% as compared to (100.9)% in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2013 is expected to be approximately 40%. The provision for taxes on income increased $35.3 million, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits are not realized.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholder

        The net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder increased $74.7 million primarily due to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, higher rental volumes and pricing in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, disciplined cost management, lower net depreciation per vehicle in our car rental operations and improved residual values on the disposal of certain used equipment. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only revenues but also most expenses outside of the United States were incurred in local currencies.

        Results from operations are discussed below and include comparisons to prior year periods. We acquired Donlen on September 1, 2011. Our results from operations include Donlen for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the post-acquisition period ended December 31, 2011, which is approximately four months in 2011. We acquired Dollar Thrifty on November 19, 2012. Our results from operations include Dollar Thrifty for the post-acquisition period ended December 31, 2012, which is approximately forty three days in 2012. The results of operations for Donlen and Dollar Thrifty are included within our car rental segment. The acquisitions of Donlen and Dollar Thrifty are referred to below as the "Recent Acquisitions." See Note 4 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Car Rental Segment

        Revenues from our car rental segment increased 7.8%, primarily as a result of increases in car rental transaction days worldwide of 8.4%, incremental volume associated with the Recent Acquisitions and refueling fees of $34.9 million. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $140.6 million and a decrease in worldwide RPD.

        RPD for worldwide car rental for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased 3.2% from 2011, due to decreases in U.S. and International RPD of 3.1% and 2.9%, respectively, and a proportionately higher amount attributable to the U.S. due to uncertain economic conditions in Europe. U.S. airport RPD decreased 3.1% and U.S. off-airport RPD declined by 2.7%. U.S. airport RPD was negatively impacted by a shift to longer life, lower RPD rentals (due to a proportionately higher amount attributable to off-airport). International RPD decreased primarily due to a decline in Europe's airport RPD which was due to the competitive pricing environment and uncertain economic conditions.

Equipment Rental Segment

        Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 14.5%, primarily due to increases of 12.3% and 3.6% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $11.2 million. The increase in volumes were primarily due to strong industrial performance, especially oil and gas related, and improvement in the construction sector in part reflecting higher rental penetration. Additionally, Cinelease and other 2012 equipment rental segment acquisitions contributed to the increase in equipment rental revenues.

Other

        Revenues from all other sources decreased $3.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in revenues from our third-party claim management services.

Direct Operating Expenses

    Car Rental Segment

        Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $4,033.1 million for 2012 increased $192.8 million, or 5.0%, from $3,840.3 million for 2011 as a result of increases in fleet related expenses, personnel related expenses and other direct operating expenses.

    Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment of $932.1 million for 2012 increased $5.4 million, or 0.6%, from 2011. On a comparable basis, the increase was primarily related to worldwide rental volume demand which resulted in increases in gasoline costs of $26.8 million, vehicle maintenance costs of $8.2 million and self insurance expenses of $4.7 million. The increase in gasoline costs reflect higher gasoline prices. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in vehicle damage costs of $20.6 million and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $26.0 million. The remaining 2012 net increase was primarily attributable to the Recent Acquisitions.

    Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment of $1,282.9 million for 2012 increased $64.9 million, or 5.3%, from 2011. On a comparable basis, the increase was primarily related to increases in salaries and related expenses associated with improved volume and compensation for employees at additional off-airport locations in 2012 as well as higher incentives. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $18.4 million. The remaining 2012 net increase was primarily attributable to the Recent Acquisitions.

    Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $1,818.1 million for 2012 increased $122.5 million, or 7.2%, from 2011. On a comparable basis, the increase was primarily related to increases in facilities expenses of $60.0 million due to 2011 property sales, commissions of $20.4 million, concession fees of $9.5 million, customer service costs of $10.7 million, field systems of $7.7 million and restructuring charges of $5.4 million. The increases were primarily a result of improved worldwide rental volume demand and off-airport expansions. The increases in other direct operating expenses were partly offset by decreases in computer costs of $4.9 million and charge card fees of $3.8 million as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of

82


Table of Contents

    approximately $34.7 million. The remaining 2012 net increase was primarily attributable to the Recent Acquisitions.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $769.7 million for 2012 increased $39.1 million, or 5.3% from $730.6 million for 2011 as a result of increases in personnel related expenses and fleet related expenses, partly offset by a decrease in other direct operating expenses.

    Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $213.5 million for 2012 increased $19.7 million, or 10.1% from 2011. The increase was primarily related to increased rental volume resulting in increased freight expenses of $11.4 million, higher maintenance costs of $5.9 million and increased delivery costs of $4.3 million. Additionally, Cinelease and other 2012 equipment rental segment acquisitions added to the increase of fleet related expenses. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.9 million.

    Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $244.8 million for 2012 increased $22.5 million, or 10.1% from 2011. The increase was attributable to an increase in salaries and related expenses of $20.5 million and an increase in benefits of $4.8 million primarily related to increased volumes and new branch openings. Additionally, Cinelease and other 2012 equipment rental segment acquisitions added to the increase of personnel related expenses. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.5 million.

    Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $311.4 million for 2012 decreased $3.1 million, or 1.0% from 2011. The decrease was primarily related to the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.6 million.

Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges

    Car Rental Segment

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges for our car rental segment of $1,876.1 million for 2012 increased $224.7 million, or 13.6% from $1,651.4 million for 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in average fleet due to the Recent Acquisitions. The increase was partly offset by lower net depreciation per vehicle, higher vehicle residual values, a higher mix of non-program cars and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $31.4 million.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $272.1 million for 2012 increased 7.0% from $254.3 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to a 9.4% increase in the average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period, partly offset by higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.5 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses of $945.5 million for 2012 increased $221.2 million due to increases in administrative, sales promotion and advertising expenses, partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $20.8 million.

    Administrative expenses increased $192.9 million, or 42.3%. On a comparable basis, acquisition fees increased $26.0 million, expenses associated with the withdrawal from a multiemployer pension plan increased $23.2 million, contractor costs increased $5.5 million, legal expenses increased $6.4 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges increased by $8.1 million,

Table of Contents

    which is in addition to litigation settlement expenses of $19.2 million. These increases were partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $14.2 million. The remaining 2012 net increase was primarily attributable to the Recent Acquisitions.

    Sales promotion expenses increased $12.0 million, or 8.4%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, partially offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.4 million.

    Advertising expenses increased $16.4 million, or 11.2%, primarily due to increased media and on-line advertising, higher airline miles expense associated with increased volume, costs related to our customer loyalty program, partly offset by the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.2 million. The remaining 2012 net increase was primarily attributable to the Recent Acquisitions.

Interest Expense

    Car Rental Segment

        Interest expense for our car rental segment of $316.3 million for 2012 decreased 5.0% from $333.1 million for 2011. The decrease was primarily due to debt refinancing activity, lower interest rates in 2012 and the effects of foreign currency translation of $8.5 million, partly offset by the higher levels of debt required to fund the Recent Acquisitions.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $52.0 million for 2012 increased 14.8% from $45.3 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases in the weighted-average debt outstanding as a result of an increase in average fleet size.

    Other

        Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $229.5 million for 2012 decreased 15.6% from $271.9 million for 2011. The decrease was primarily due to larger write-offs last year of unamortized debt costs in connection with refinancing activity, lower rates achieved with the refinancing of our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes and a decrease in the weighted-average debt outstanding and interest rates.

Interest Income

        Interest income decreased $0.6 million from the prior year.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

        Other (income) expense, net of $35.5 million for 2012 decreased $27.0 million, or 43.2% from $62.5 million for 2011. Primarily included within 2012 other (income) expense, net is a loss on the Advantage Divestiture of $31.4 million, expenses related to additional required divestitures and costs associated with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition of $24.2 million, partly offset by a gain from the sale of Switzerland operations of $10.3 million and a gain on the investment in Dollar Thrifty stock of $8.5 million. Other (income) expense, net for 2011 primarily includes premiums paid in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes.

ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Car Rental Segment

        Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $1,020.1 million increased 20.0% from $850.2 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes, lower net depreciation per vehicle, improved residual values and disciplined cost management, partly offset by decreased pricing. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for 2012 totaled $236.0 million (which consists of acquisition related costs and charges of $96.4 million, purchase accounting charges of $61.6 million, non-cash debt charges of $38.1 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $34.7 million, other of $5.0 million and loss on derivatives of $0.2 million). Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for 2011 totaled $94.5 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $43.9 million, purchase accounting of $39.5 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $23.6 million, pension adjustment of $(13.1) million and loss on derivatives of $0.6 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

Equipment Rental Segment

        Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment of $227.0 million increased 40.5% from $161.6 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes and pricing, strong cost management performance and higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment. Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes for 2012 totaled $74.4 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $44.3 million, other of $15.8 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $9.3 million and non-cash debt charges of $5.0 million). Adjustments to our equipment rental loss before income taxes for 2011 totaled $92.3 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $44.4 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $42.4 million and non-cash debt charges of $5.5 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

Acquisition. See Note 9 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

        Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $19.6 million due to Hertz's purchase of the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C. on December 31, 2011, thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.

Net Income Attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholder

        Net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder increased 31.0% primarily due to higher rental volumes in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, disciplined cost management, lower net depreciation per vehicle in our car rental operations, increased pricing in our equipment rental operations and improved residual values on the disposal of certain used equipment, partly offset by lower pricing in our worldwide car rental operations. Most revenue and expense transactions from operations outside of the United States are recorded in local currencies, which reduces the effect of changes in exchange rates on net income.

Car Rental Segment

        Revenues from our car rental segment increased 9.2%, primarily as a result of increases in car rental transaction days worldwide of 8.0%, refueling fees of $40.3 million and airport concession recovery fees of $30.8 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $157.9 million. The year ended December 31, 2011 also includes $142.7 million of revenues related to Donlen which was acquired on September 1, 2011. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in worldwide RPD.

        RPD for worldwide car rental for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased 3.7% from 2010, due to decreases in U.S. and International RPD of 4.4% and 2.3%, respectively. U.S. off-airport RPD declined by 2.7% and U.S. airport RPD decreased 4.7%. A mix shift to longer life, lower RPD rentals (including increased growth of off-airport and the Advantage brand); the competitive environment in the first half of the year, as well as a difficult year-over-year RPD comparison to last year, reduced U.S. RPD. International RPD decreased primarily due to a decrease in Europe's airport RPD which was due to the competitive pricing environment.

Equipment Rental Segment

        Revenues from our equipment rental segment increased 13.0%, primarily due to increases of 10.5% and 2.4% in equipment rental volumes and pricing, respectively, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $17.3 million. The increase in volume was primarily due to strong industrial performance.

Direct Operating Expenses

    Car Rental Segment

        Direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $3,840.3 million for 2011 increased $235.6 million, or 6.5%, from 2010 as a result of increases in fleet related expenses, other direct operating expenses and personnel related expenses.

    Fleet related expenses for our car rental segment of $926.8 million for 2011 increased $104.7 million, or 12.7% from 2010. The increase was primarily related to worldwide rental volume demand which resulted in increases in gasoline costs of $58.4 million, self insurance expenses of $10.1 million, vehicle license taxes of $7.4 million, vehicle maintenance costs of $6.2 million and vehicle registration fees of $5.4 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $29.4 million. The increase in gasoline costs also related to higher gasoline prices. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in vehicle damage costs of $11.5 million.

    Other direct operating expenses for our car rental segment of $1,695.5 million for 2011 increased $74.9 million, or 4.6% from 2010. The increase was primarily related to increases in field administrative expenses of $23.0 million, customer service costs of $13.8 million, third-party claim management expenses of $12.9 million, concession fees of $12.8 million, computer costs of $10.1 million, charge card fees of $4.7 million and reservation costs of $4.3 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $36.8 million. The increases were primarily a result of improved worldwide rental volume demand. The increase in field administrative expenses also related to a reimbursement received from a manufacturer in 2010. The increases in other direct operating expenses were partly offset by decreases in facilities expenses of $34.8 million, field systems of $4.7 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $2.8 million.

87


Table of Contents

    The decrease in facilities expenses primarily related to gains recognized on the sale of certain properties in 2011.

    Personnel related expenses for our car rental segment of $1,218.0 million for 2011 increased $56.0 million, or 4.8% from 2010. The increase was related to increases in salaries and related expenses of $34.0 million and outside services, including transporter wages of $14.8 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $20.6 million, partly offset by a decrease in benefits of $14.2 million. The expense increases were primarily related to improved results, as well as additional U.S. off-airport and Advantage locations in 2011. The decrease in benefits primarily related to the U.K. pension plan curtailment gain.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $730.6 million for 2011 increased $53.3 million, or 7.9% from $677.3 million for 2010 as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, fleet related expenses and personnel related expenses.

    Other direct operating expenses for our equipment rental segment of $314.6 million for 2011 increased $27.8 million, or 9.7% from 2010. The increase was primarily related to increases in restructuring and restructuring related charges of $5.3 million, legal expenses of $3.6 million, re-rent expense of $3.5 million, amortization expense of $2.4 million, cost of sales of $2.2 million, field systems and administrative expenses of $1.9 million and credit and collections expense of $1.1 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.2 million. The increases in re-rent expense, costs of sales, field systems and administrative expenses and credit and collections expense primarily related to improved worldwide rental volume demand.

    Fleet related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $193.8 million for 2011 increased $13.1 million, or 7.2% from 2010. The increase was primarily related to continued aging of the fleet which resulted in an increase in maintenance costs of $11.2 million and increased worldwide rental volume resulting in increased freight and delivery costs of $6.5 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.6 million. These increases were partly offset by decreases in insurance and licenses of $3.8 million and personal property taxes of $2.6 million.

    Personnel related expenses for our equipment rental segment of $222.2 million for 2011 increased $12.4 million, or 5.9% from 2010. The increase was related to increases in salaries and related expenses of $9.0 million primarily related to improved results, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.3 million.

Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges

    Car Rental Segment

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges for our car rental segment of $1,651.4 million for 2011 increased 3.6% from $1,594.6 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $34.8 million, a 7.5% increase in average fleet and an increase due to the acquisition of Donlen and its related depreciation expense of $117.0 million. The increase was partly offset by an improvement in certain vehicle residual values and a change in mix of vehicles.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges in our equipment rental segment of $254.3 million for 2011 decreased 7.0% from $273.5 million for 2010. The decrease was primarily due to higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment, partly offset by a 2.6% increase in the

average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.1 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12.1%, due to increases in administrative, sales promotion and advertising expenses.

    Administrative expenses increased $54.3 million, or 13.5%, primarily due to increases in salaries and related expenses of $34.0 million, consulting expenses of $8.8 million, travel and entertainment expenses of $3.5 million and legal expense of $2.5 million, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $8.4 million, partly offset by a decrease in unrealized loss on derivatives of $3.4 million.

    Sales promotion expenses increased $14.3 million, or 11.1%, primarily related to increases in sales salaries and commissions due to improved results, as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.7 million.

    Advertising expenses increased $12.0 million, or 9.0%, primarily due to increased media and production related to the new campaign ("Gas and Brake"), as well as the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $4.3 million.

Interest Expense

    Car Rental Segment

        Interest expense for our car rental segment of $333.1 million for 2011 decreased 17.0% from $401.3 million for 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2011, partly offset by an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding as a result of an increased fleet size.

    Equipment Rental Segment

        Interest expense for our equipment rental segment of $45.3 million for 2011 increased 15.0% from $39.4 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to a portion of the write-off of the unamortized debt costs in connection with the refinancing of our Senior ABL Facility which was allocated to our equipment rental segment in 2011.

    Other

        Other interest expense relating to interest on corporate debt of $271.9 million for 2011 decreased 4.9% from $285.8 million for 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower rates in 2011, partly offset by increases due to the write-off of unamortized debt costs in connection with the refinancing of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, financing costs incurred in connection with the new Senior Term Facility and the write-off of unamortized debt costs in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes in 2011.

Interest Income

        Interest income decreased $6.8 million primarily due to interest on a value added tax reclaim received in 2010.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

        Other (income) expense, net increased $62.5 million primarily due to premiums paid in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes during 2011.

ADJUSTED PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS)

Car Rental Segment

        Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $850.2 million increased 32.5% from $641.9 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes, improved residual values and disciplined cost management, partly offset by decreased pricing. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for 2011 totaled $94.5 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $43.9 million, purchase accounting of $39.5 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $23.6 million, pension adjustment of $(13.1) million and loss on derivatives of $0.6 million). Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes for 2010 totaled $200.1 million (which consists of non-cash debt charges of $133.3 million, purchase accounting of $37.0 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $30.0 million and gain on derivatives of $(0.2) million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

Equipment Rental Segment

        Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment of $161.6 million increased 107.2% from $78.0 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to stronger volumes and pricing, strong cost management performance and higher residual values on the disposal of used equipment. Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes for 2011 totaled $92.3 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $44.4 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $42.4 million and non-cash debt charges of $5.5 million). Adjustments to our equipment rental loss before income taxes for 2010 totaled $92.6 million (which consists of purchase accounting of $50.1 million, restructuring and restructuring related charges of $35.0 million and non-cash debt charges of $7.5 million). See footnote (c) to the table under "Results of Operations" for a summary and description of these adjustments.

Provision for Taxes on Income

        The effective tax rate for 2011 was 38.5% as compared to 103.1% in 2010. The provision for taxes on income increased $110.5 million, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in valuation allowances for losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized. See Note 8 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Table of Contents

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

        Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest increased 12.5% due to an increase in our formerly majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.'s net income for 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. In December 2011, Hertz purchased the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C., thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' Common Stockholder

        The net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder was $210.5 million in 2011 compared to a loss in 2010 of $18.4 million primarily due to higher rental volumes in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, improved residual values on the disposal of certain vehicles and used equipment, disciplined cost management, lower interest expense and increased pricing in our equipment rental operations, partly offset by lower pricing in our worldwide car rental operations, costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility and the write-off of unamortized debt costs and premiums paid in connection with the redemption of our 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and a portion of our 8.875% Senior Notes during 2011. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only revenues but also most expenses outside of the United States were incurred in local currencies.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our domestic and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the United States and internationally.

Cash Flows

        As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $653.8 million, an increase of $120.5 million from December 31, 2012. The amount of cash and cash equivalents of $533.2 million as of December 31, 2012 represented a decrease of $398.0 million from December 31, 2011. The following table summarizes these changes:

        During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we generated $246.4 million more cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, improved working capital and refinancing activities which reduced interest expense, as well as due to the timing of our payments. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we generated $489.9 million more cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily a result of higher earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization and reduced interest expense as well as due to the timing of our payments.

        Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used $216.5 million more cash for investing activities compared with the same period in 2012. The increase in the use of funds was primarily due to increases in revenue earning equipment expenditures and a decrease in the year-over-year change in restricted cash and cash equivalents during the period, partly offset by an increase in the proceeds from disposal of revenue earning equipment in our car rental operations and a decrease in acquisition activity compared with the same period in 2012. The increase in revenue earning equipment expenditures was primarily due to increased volumes, the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and timing of purchases and payments. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we used $2,554.4 million more cash for investing activities compared with the same period in 2011. The increase in the use of funds was primarily due to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition along with other acquisitions during the year, decreases in proceeds from the disposal of revenue earning equipment, a decrease in the year-over-year change in restricted cash and cash equivalents and revenue earning equipment expenditures during the year.

        As of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $425.2 million, $571.6 million and $308.0 million, respectively, of restricted cash and cash equivalents to be used for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our fleet financing facilities, our Like Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. The decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $146.5 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles, while the increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents of $263.6 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012 primarily related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flows from financing activities increased by $442.8 million compared with the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to debt related activity to finance fleet purchases offset by the repurchase of shares in the first quarter of 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2012, cash flows from financing activities increased by $3,107.4 million compared with the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily related to the 2012 issuance of Senior Notes and incurrence of Incremental Term Loans related to the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and higher payments of pre-funded debt associated with our Senior Note redemptions in the prior year.

        Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental and equipment rental operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by 22.7% and 24.4%, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in our car rental operations revenue earning equipment expenditures was primarily due to the impact from the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, increased volumes and timing of purchases and payments, partly offset by the impact of the Advantage Divestiture. The increase in our equipment rental operations revenue earning equipment expenditures was primarily due to the timing of purchases and payments during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

        Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by 0.2% compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 and revenue earning equipment expenditures in our equipment rental operations increased by 29.6% compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in our car rental revenue earning equipment expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the shift from the purchase of program cars to more non-program cars, which have much longer holding periods than program cars. The increase in our equipment rental operations revenue earning equipment expenditures is primarily due to increased volumes as well as continued improvement in the economic conditions during the year ended December 31, 2012.

        Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental and equipment rental operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by 7.1% and 253.0%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in our car rental revenue earning equipment expenditures was primarily due to higher rental volumes during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, which required us to increase fleet levels. The increase in our equipment rental operations revenue earning equipment expenditures is primarily due to a continued improvement in the economic conditions as well as efforts to reduce the age of our fleet during the year ended December 31, 2011.

The increase in our car rental operations property and equipment expenditures was primarily due to technology initiatives and an increase in our operating locations. The decreases in our equipment rental operations and other activities property and equipment expenditures were primarily due to timing of purchases and payments during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

        Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental operations increased $23.8 million, equipment rental operations decreased $4.2 million, and other activities increased $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The increases in car rental operations are a result of increased locations in 2012. The decrease in equipment rental operations was primarily due to the timing of purchases and payments during the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in other activities primarily relates to costs associated with an ERP system implementation in 2012.

        Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental operations, equipment rental operations and for all other activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by $88.3 million, $9.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The car rental and equipment rental increases are a result of increased volumes, an improvement in the economic conditions during the year, as well as, in car rental due to the opening of new off-airport locations.

Financing

        Our primary liquidity needs include servicing of corporate and fleet related debt, the payment of operating expenses and purchases of rental vehicles and equipment to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, borrowings under our asset-backed securitizations and our asset-based revolving credit facilities and access to the credit markets generally.

        As of March 31, 2013, we had $15,876.1 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $119.1 million, net of amounts capitalized. Accordingly, we are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

        Our liquidity as of March 31, 2013 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, unused commitments under our Senior ABL Facility and unused commitments under our fleet debt. For a description of these amounts, see Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus as well as "—Borrowing Capacity and Availability" below.

Maturities

        The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31 (in millions of dollars), determined on the basis of indebtedness that was outstanding as of March 31, 2013, are as follows:

2014     5,511.2   (including $5,212.0 of other short-term borrowings*)
2015     1,991.1    
2016     1,101.8    
2017     529.2    
2018     248.1    
After 2018     6,480.9    

*
Our short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2013 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, HVF U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, RCFC U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, European Revolving Credit Facility, European Securitization, Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Australian Securitization, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility and Capitalized Leases (as such terms are defined below under "Description of Certain Indebtedness"). These amounts are reflected as short-term borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2013, short-term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 1.8%.

        We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.

        In January 2013, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," an insolvency remote, direct, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, completed the issuance of $950 million in aggregate principal amount of three year and five year Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A and Class B, or the "HVF Series 2013-1 Notes," collectively. The $282.75 million of three year Class A HVF Series 2013-1 Notes carry a 1.12% coupon, the $42.25 million of three year Class B HVF Series 2013-1 Notes carry a 1.86% coupon, the $543.75 million of five year Class A HVF Series 2013-1

95


Table of Contents

Notes carry a 1.83% coupon and the $81.25 million of five year Class B HVF Series 2013-1 Notes carry a 2.48% coupon. The three year HVF Series 2013-1 Notes and five year HVF Series 2013-1 Notes have expected final payment dates in August 2016 and August 2018, respectively. The Class B HVF Series 2013-1 Notes are subordinated to the Class A HVF Series 2013-1 Notes.

        The net proceeds from the sale of the HVF Series 2013-1 Notes will be, to the extent permitted by the applicable agreements, (i) used to pay the purchase price of vehicles acquired by HVF pursuant to HVF's U.S. ABS Program (as defined below under "Description of Certain Indebtedness—Fleet Debt—U.S. ABS Program"), (ii) used to pay the principal amount of other HVF U.S. ABS Program indebtedness that is then permitted or required to be paid or (iii) released to HVF to be distributed to Hertz or otherwise used by HVF for general purposes.

        In February 2013, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility (as defined below under "Description of Certain Indebtedness—Fleet Debt—Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility") to extend the maturity date from February 2013 to October 2013.

        In March 2013, Hertz issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer). The Notes were issued as a separate series of additional notes under the indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, being referred to herein as the "Indenture"), among Hertz (as successor-in-interest to HDTFS, Inc.), as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Prior to the issuance of the Notes, $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (referred to herein as the "2020 Notes") and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 (referred to herein as the "2022 Notes") were issued under the Indenture, which separate series of notes are currently outstanding under the Indenture. The proceeds of this March 2013 offering were used by us to replenish a portion of our liquidity, after having dividended $467.2 million in available liquidity to Hertz Holdings, which Hertz Holdings used to repurchase 23.2 million shares of its common stock in March 2013.

Registration Rights and Indentures for the Senior Notes

        Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer, Hertz agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to permit either the exchange of such Notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such Notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under the registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by March 2014 or failing to complete the exchange offer by April 2014, would result in Hertz incurring special interest on such Notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any period where any such failure has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%. We do not believe the special interest obligation is probable, and as such, we have not recorded any amounts with respect to this registration payment arrangement.

        Hertz's obligations under the indentures for the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility. The guarantees of all of the subsidiary guarantors may be released to the extent such subsidiaries no longer guarantee our Senior Credit Facilities in the United States.

        The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz

credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.

Other Financing Risks

        A significant number of cars that we purchase are subject to repurchase by car manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, car manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during a specified time period, typically subject to certain car condition and mileage requirements. We use book values derived from this specified price or guaranteed depreciation rate to calculate financing capacity under certain asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements.

        In the event of a bankruptcy of a car manufacturer, our liquidity would be impacted by several factors including reductions in fleet residual values and the risk that we would be unable to collect outstanding receivables due to us from such bankrupt manufacturer. In addition, the program cars manufactured by any such company would need to be removed from our financing facilities or re-designated as non-program vehicles, which would require us to furnish additional credit enhancement associated with these program vehicles. For a discussion of the risks associated with a manufacturer's bankruptcy or our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing, see the sections of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—The failure of a manufacturer of our program cars to fulfill its obligations under a repurchase or guaranteed depreciation program could expose us to loss on those program cars and materially adversely affect certain of our financing arrangements, which could in turn materially adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations" and "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness."

        We rely significantly on asset-backed and asset-based financing arrangements to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleet. The amount of financing available to us pursuant to these programs depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including recently adopted legislation, proposed SEC rules and regulations and other legislative and administrative developments. In this regard, there has been uncertainty regarding the potential impact of recently proposed SEC rules and regulations governing the issuance of asset-backed securities and additional requirements contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. While we will continue to monitor these developments and their impact on our ABS program, the SEC rules and regulations, once adopted and implemented, may impact our ability and/or desire to engage in asset-backed financings in the future.

        For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs and our indebtedness, see Note 5 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. For a discussion of the risks associated with our reliance on asset-backed and asset-based financing and the significant amount of indebtedness, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness."

Covenants

        Certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates.

Table of Contents

        Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2013, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

        In addition to borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities, we have a significant amount of additional debt outstanding. For further information on the terms of our Senior Credit Facilities as well as our significant amount of other debt outstanding, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Certain Indebtedness" and Note 5 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. For a discussion of the risks associated with our significant indebtedness, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness."

        Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."

98


Table of Contents

        We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.

        We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

        As of March 31, 2013, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.1 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,027.2 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

        Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.

        Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities collectively had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $393.4 million and $440.8 million, respectively, and collectively had total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $392.9 million and $440.3 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, this represents our tax liability for uncertain tax positions and related net accrued interest and penalties of $16.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of our uncertain tax positions liability and interest and penalty payments in individual years beyond twelve months due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions. See Note 9 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 6 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Only the minimum non-cancelable portion of purchase agreements and related cancellation penalties are included as obligations. In the case of contracts, which state minimum quantities of goods or services, amounts reflect only the stipulated minimums; all other contracts reflect estimated amounts. Of the total purchase obligations as of December 31, 2012, $5,236.1 million represent fleet purchases where contracts have been signed or are pending with committed orders under the terms of such arrangements. We do not regard our employment relationships with our employees as "agreements to purchase services" for these purposes.

        The table excludes our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. We contributed $38.4 million to our U.S. pension plan during 2012 and expect to contribute between $20 million and $30 million to our U.S. pension plan during 2013. The level of 2013 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation. See Note 6 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 9 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

        As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding:

Indemnification Obligations

        In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsor Parties; Directors

        We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and the Sponsor Parties, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and we will indemnify the Sponsor Parties, their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of consulting agreements between Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsor Parties (or their affiliates) and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors.

Environmental

        We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities, including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" and our audited consolidated balance sheets in "Other accrued liabilities" were $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Risk Management

        For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Business—Risk Management."


Market Risks

        We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in gasoline prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. For more information on these exposures, see Note 14 to both our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Interest Rate Risk

        From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and/or interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk. See Notes 5 and 14 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Notes 8 and 14 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        We have a significant amount of debt with variable rates of interest based generally on LIBOR, Euro inter-bank offered rate, or "EURIBOR," or their equivalents for local currencies or bank conduit commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt. See Note 5 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio as of March 31, 2013, our net income would decrease by an estimated $30.3 million over a twelve-month period.

        Consistent with the terms of the agreements governing the respective debt obligations, we may hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the various debt facilities to provide protection in respect of such exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk

        We have foreign currency exposure to exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily with respect to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound.

        We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing locally. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty.

102


Table of Contents

        We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations.

        For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, our consolidated statement of operations contained realized and unrealized losses relating to the effects of foreign currency of $2.3 million, $4.4 million, $10.6 million, $6.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

        See Note 14 to both our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.


Other Risks

        We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates and maintain a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized a loss of $1.7 million and gains of $1.8 million, $0.7 million, $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in "Direct operating" on our consolidated statement of operations relating to our gasoline swaps. See Note 14 to both our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.


Inflation

        The increased cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs and gasoline. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.


Income Taxes

        In January 2006, we implemented a LKE Program for our U.S. car rental business. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form intended to allow such dispositions and replacements to qualify as tax-deferred "like-kind exchanges" pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program has resulted in deferral of federal and state income taxes for fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and part of 2010 and 2012. A LKE Program for HERC has also been in place for several years. The program allows tax deferral if a qualified replacement asset is acquired within a specific time period after asset disposal. Accordingly, if a qualified replacement asset is not purchased within this limited time period, taxable gain is recognized. Over the last few years, for strategic purposes, such as cash management and fleet reduction, we have recognized some taxable gains in the program. In 2009, the bankruptcy filing of an original equipment manufacturer, or "OEM," also resulted in minimal gain recognition. We had sufficient net operating losses to fully offset the taxable gains recognized. We cannot offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will continue or that the relevant law concerning the programs will remain in its current form. An extended reduction in our car rental fleet could result in reduced deferrals in the future, which in turn could require us to make material cash payments for federal and state income tax liabilities. Our inability to obtain replacement financing as our fleet financing facilities mature would likely result in an extended reduction in the fleet. In the event of an extended fleet reduction, we believe the likelihood of making material cash tax payments in the near future is low because of our significant net operating losses. In August 2010, we elected to temporarily suspend the U.S. car rental LKE Program allowing cash proceeds from sales of vehicles to be utilized for various business purposes, including paying down existing debt obligations,

103


Table of Contents

future growth initiatives and for general operating purposes. From August 2010 through 2011, recognized tax gains on vehicle dispositions resulting from the LKE suspension were more than offset by 100% tax depreciation on newly acquired vehicles. During 2012 the allowable 50% bonus depreciation helped offset tax gains during the period of LKE suspension. The U.S. car rental LKE Program was reinstated on October 15, 2012.

        Recent dispositions of Hertz Holdings' common stock by certain significant shareholders, when combined with other dispositions of Hertz Holdings' stock over the previous 36 months, may have resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, utilization of all pre-2013 U.S. net operating losses is subject to an annual limitation. This limitation, if any, is not expected to result in a loss of net operating losses or have a material adverse impact on taxes.


Employee Retirement Benefits

Pension

        We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to significant expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 6 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and Note 9 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our 2013 worldwide pre-tax pension expense is expected to be approximately $42.5 million, which would represent an increase of $7.8 million from 2012. The anticipated increase in expense as compared to 2012 is primarily due to lower expected rates of return in 2013 and lower discount rates at the end of 2012 compared to 2011.

        The funded status (i.e., the dollar amount by which the projected benefit obligations exceeded the market value of pension plan assets) of our U.S. qualified plan, in which most domestic employees participate, improved as of December 31, 2012, compared with December 31, 2011 because asset values increased due to gains in the securities markets. We contributed $38.4 million to our U.S. pension plan during 2012. We expect to contribute between $20 million and $30 million to our U.S. plan during 2013. The level of 2013 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

        We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For a discussion of the risks associated with our pension plans, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We could face a significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate and at least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have underfunded liabilities."

        During 2012, Hertz completely withdrew employees from an existing multi-employer pension plan with the Central States Pension Fund, or the "Pension Fund," and entered into a new agreement with the Pension Fund. In connection with the complete withdrawal from the Pension Fund, Hertz was subject to a withdrawal liability of approximately $23.2 million, which was paid in December 2012.

BUSINESS

        Hertz Investors, Inc. owns all of the outstanding common stock of Hertz. Hertz Holdings holds all of the outstanding common stock of Hertz Investors, Inc.


Our Company

        Hertz operates its car rental business through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 10,460 corporate, licensee and franchisee locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. Hertz is the largest worldwide airport general use car rental brand, operating from approximately 8,960 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have approximately 1,500 corporate and franchisee locations in 85 countries. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We are one of the only car rental companies that has an extensive network of company-operated rental locations both in the United States and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain the leading airport car rental brand market share, by overall reported revenues, in the United States and at 120 major airports in Europe where we have company-operated locations and where data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. We believe that we also maintain the second largest market share, by overall reported revenues, in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. In our equipment rental business segment, we rent equipment through approximately 340 branches in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia, as well as through our international licensees. We and our predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We also own Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," based in Northbrook, Illinois, which is a leader in providing fleet leasing and management services. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. Our revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 6.0% over the last 20 years, with year-over-year growth in 17 of those 20 years. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had total revenues of approximately $9.0 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.

Corporate History

        Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz Holdings was incorporated by the Sponsor Parties in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. In December 2005, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings acquired all of Hertz's common stock from Ford Holdings LLC.

        Prior to Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006, the Sponsor Parties held substantially all of Hertz Holdings' common stock. In connection with Hertz Holdings' initial public offering and subsequent offerings of shares held by the Sponsor Parties, the Sponsor Parties' holdings of common stock were intermittently reduced. On May 9, 2013, certain of the Sponsor Parties completed the sale of 49,800,405 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as the underwriters in the Exit Transaction. Immediately upon completion of the Exit Transaction, the Sponsor Parties' holdings of Hertz Holdings' common stock were reduced to de minimis amounts that the Sponsor Parties and certain affiliated entities had previously received from their director nominees' equity-based compensation for service on Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors or acquired in the ordinary course of business. For more information regarding the Exit Transaction, see the section of this prospectus entitled "Summary—Recent Developments—Exit Transaction of the Sponsor Parties and Termination of Related Agreements."

Our Markets

        We are engaged principally in the global car rental industry and in the equipment rental industry.

Worldwide Car Rental

        We believe that the global car rental industry exceeds $37 billion in annual revenues. According to Auto Rental News, car rental industry revenues in the United States were estimated to be approximately $24 billion for 2012 and grew in 2012 by 3.9%. We believe car rental revenues in Europe account for over $13 billion in annual revenues, with the airport portion of the industry comprising approximately 37% of the total. Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. We believe total rental revenues for the car rental industry in Europe in 2012 were approximately $10.8 billion in 10 countries—France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Luxembourg—where we have company-operated rental locations and approximately $2.8 billion in 11 other countries—Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Greece, Austria, Denmark, Poland, Finland, Hungary, Malta and Romania—where our Hertz brand is present through our licensees.

        Rentals by airline travelers at or near airports, or "airport rentals," are significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry and particularly in airline passenger traffic, or "enplanements," as well as the Gross Domestic Product, or "GDP." We believe domestic enplanements in 2012 approximated 2011 levels, however, we expect it to increase by 1.8% in 2013. Current data suggests that U.S. GDP increased in the first quarter of 2013 at an annual rate of approximately 1.8%. The International Air Transport Association, or "IATA," stated in December 2012 that annual global enplanements increased by 5.3% in 2012 and are expected to increase by 4.5% in 2013.

        The off-airport portion of the industry has rental volume primarily driven by local business use, leisure travel and the replacement of cars being repaired. Because Europe has generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel, the European off-airport car rental market is significantly more developed than it is in the United States. However, we believe that in recent years, industry revenues from off-airport car rentals in the United States have grown faster than revenues from airport rentals.

        We provide commercial fleet leasing and management services to national corporate customers throughout the United States and Canada through Donlen, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz. Donlen is a fully integrated fleet management services provider with a comprehensive suite of product offerings ranging from leasing and managing vehicle fleets to providing other fleet management services to reduce fleet operating costs.

Worldwide Equipment Rental

        We estimate the size of the U.S. equipment rental industry, which is highly fragmented with few national competitors and many regional and local operators, increased to approximately $31 billion in annual revenues for 2012, but the part of the rental industry dealing with equipment of the type HERC rents is somewhat smaller than that. We believe that the industry is expected to grow at a 10.6% compound annual growth rate between 2013 and 2016. Other market data indicates that the equipment rental industries in China, France, Spain and Saudi Arabia generate approximately $5.1 billion, $4.5 billion, $2.5 billion and $0.5 billion in annual revenues, respectively, although the portions of those markets in which HERC competes are smaller.

        The equipment rental industry serves a broad range of customers from small local contractors to large industrial national accounts and encompasses a wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy earthmoving equipment. We believe U.S. non-residential construction spending declined at an annual rate of approximately 7% in 2012 but is projected to increase at an annual rate of 6% in 2013. We also believe that rental equipment accounted for approximately 50% of all equipment sold into the

106


Table of Contents

U.S. construction industry in 2012, up from approximately 5% in 1993. In addition, we believe that the trend toward rental instead of ownership of equipment in the U.S. construction industry will continue and that as much as 60% of the equipment used in the industry could be rental equipment by 2015.


Our Business Segments

        Our business consists of two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment, or "equipment rental." General corporate expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and third party claim management services are included as "other reconciling items."

        Car Rental:    Our "company-operated" rental locations are those through which we, or an agent of ours, rent cars that we own or lease. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated car rental locations both in the United States and internationally, and what we believe to be the largest number of company-operated airport car rental locations in the world, enabling us to provide consistent quality and service worldwide. Our licensees, franchisees and associates also operate rental locations in approximately 145 countries and jurisdictions, including most of the countries in which we have company-operated rental locations.

        Equipment Rental:    We believe, based on an article in Rental Equipment Register published in May 2012, that HERC (as defined above in "General Information") is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the United States and Canada combined. HERC rents a broad range of earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, air compressors, generators, pumps, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks. HERC also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables, as well as through its Hertz Entertainment Services division, which rents lighting and related aerial products used primarily in the U.S. entertainment industry.

Worldwide Car Rental

Our Brands

        Our car rental business is primarily operated through three brands—Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty. Each of our brands generally maintains separate airport counters, reservations and reservation systems, marketing and all other customer contact activities, however a single management team manages all three brands. As we integrate the Dollar and Thrifty brands into our operations, we expect to eliminate many of the duplicative functions previously performed separately by Dollar Thrifty and identify synergies through combined fleet management, insurance, information technology functions, back-office processing and procurement.

        The Hertz brand is one of the most recognized brands in the world. Our customer surveys, in the United States, indicate that Hertz is the car rental brand most associated with the highest quality service. This is consistent with numerous published best-in class car rental awards that we have won, both in the United States and internationally, over many years. We have sought to support the Hertz brand's reputation for quality and customer service in car rental through a variety of innovative service offerings, such as our customer loyalty program (Gold Plus Rewards), our global expedited rental program (Hertz #1 Club Gold), our one-way rental program (Rent-it-Here/Leave-it-There), our national-scale luxury rental program (Prestige Collection), our sports car rental program (Adrenaline Collection), our environmentally friendly rental program (Green Traveler Collection), our car sharing service (Hertz On Demand) and our in-car navigational services (Hertz NeverLost). We intend to maintain our position as a premier provider of rental services through an intense focus on service, quality and product innovation.

        Based on the latest available data, in the United States, the Hertz brand had the highest market share, by revenues, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and in the first month of 2013 at approximately 200 of the largest airports where we have company-operated locations. Out of the approximately 190 major European airports at which we have company-operated rental locations, data regarding car rental concessionaire activity during 2012 was available at 120 of these airports. Based upon the latest available data, we believe that we were the largest airport car rental company, measured by aggregate airport rental revenues, at those 120 airports taken together. In the United States, we intend to maintain or expand our market share in the airport rental business.

        Dollar and Thrifty are positioned as value car rental brands in the travel industry. The Dollar brand's main focus is serving the airport vehicle rental market, which is comprised of business and leisure travelers. The majority of its locations are on or near airport facilities. Dollar operates primarily through company-owned locations in the United States and Canada, and also licenses to independent franchisees which operate as a part of the Dollar brand system. Thrifty serves both the airport and local markets through company-owned locations and its franchisees which derive approximately 90% of their combined rental revenues from the airport market and approximately 10% from the local market.

        In April 2009, we acquired certain assets of Advantage Rent A Car, or "Advantage" a brand focused on price-oriented customers at key leisure travel destinations, and began operating the Advantage brand as part of our business. On November 19, 2012, we entered into an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition to divest the Advantage brand and selected Dollar Thrifty airport concessions. On December 12, 2012, we divested the Simply Wheelz subsidiary (the "Advantage Divestiture"), which owned and operated the Advantage brand, to Adreca Holdings Corp., a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is expected to be operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc. Immediately prior to the Advantage Divestiture, Advantage was operating at 62 U.S. locations, including 35 on-airport locations where Advantage held concessions.

Operations

Locations

    Airport Locations

        As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately 3,275 staffed rental locations in the United States, of which approximately one-fifth were airport locations and four-fifths were off-airport locations, and we regularly rent cars from approximately 1,360 other locations that are not staffed. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately 1,200 staffed rental locations internationally, of which approximately one-fifth were airport locations and four-fifths were off-airport locations, and we regularly rent cars from approximately 150 other locations that are not staffed. Our international car rental operations have company-operated locations in France, Australia, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Canada, Brazil, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Belgium, Puerto Rico, the Czech Republic, China, Luxembourg, Slovakia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We believe that our extensive U.S. and international network of company-operated locations contributes to the consistency of our service, cost control, fleet utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and ability to offer one-way rentals.

        In order to operate airport rental locations, we have obtained concessions or similar leasing, licensing or permitting agreements or arrangements, or "concessions," granting us the right to conduct a car rental business at all major, and many other airports in each country where we have company-operated rental locations, except for airports where our licensees operate rental locations. Our concessions were obtained from the airports' operators, which are typically governmental bodies or authorities, following either negotiation or bidding for the right to operate a car rental business there. The terms of an airport concession typically require us to pay the airport's operator concession fees based upon a specified percentage of the revenues we generate at the airport, subject to a minimum annual guarantee. Under most concessions, we must also pay fixed rent for terminal counters or other leased properties and facilities. Most concessions are for a fixed length of time, while others create operating rights and payment obligations that are terminable at any time.

        The terms of our concessions typically do not forbid us from seeking, and in a few instances actually require us to seek, reimbursement from customers of concession fees we pay; however, in certain jurisdictions the law limits or forbids our doing so. Where we are required or permitted to seek such reimbursement, it is our general practice to do so. The number of car rental concessions available at airports varies considerably, but, except at small, regional airports, it is rarely less than four. Certain of our concession agreements require the consent of the airport's operator in connection with material changes in our ownership. A growing number of larger airports are building consolidated airport rental car facilities to alleviate congestion at the airport. These consolidated rental facilities may eliminate certain competitive advantages among the brands as competitors operate out of one centralized facility for both customer rental and return operations, share consolidated bussing operations and maintain image standards mandated by the airports. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile-related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations."

    Off-Airport Locations

        In addition to our airport locations, we operate off-airport locations offering car rental services to a variety of customers. Our off-airport rental customers include people wishing to rent cars closer to home for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. Our off-airport customers also include people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies following accidents in which their cars were

110


Table of Contents

damaged, those expecting to lease cars that are not yet available from their leasing companies and those needing cars while their vehicle is being repaired or is temporarily unavailable for other reasons; we call these customers "replacement renters." At many of our off-airport locations we will provide pick-up and delivery services in connection with rentals.

        When compared to our airport rental locations, an off-airport rental location typically services the same variety of customers, uses smaller rental facilities with fewer employees, conducts pick-up and delivery services and deals with replacement renters using specialized systems and processes. In addition, on average, off-airport locations generate fewer transactions per period than airport locations. At the same time, though, our airport and off-airport rental locations employ common car fleets, are supervised by common country, regional and local area management, use many common systems and rely on common maintenance and administrative centers. Moreover, airport and off-airport locations, excluding replacement rentals, benefit from many common marketing activities and have many of the same customers. As a consequence, we regard both types of locations as aspects of a single, unitary, car rental business.

        We believe that the off-airport portion of the car rental market offers opportunities for us on several levels. First, presence in the off-airport market can provide customers a more convenient and geographically extensive network of rental locations, thereby creating revenue opportunities from replacement renters, non-airline travel renters and airline travelers with local rental needs. Second, it can give us a more balanced revenue mix by reducing our reliance on airport travel and therefore limiting our exposure to external events that may disrupt airline travel trends. Third, it can produce higher fleet utilization as a result of the longer average rental periods associated with off-airport business, compared to those of airport rentals. Fourth, replacement rental volume is far less seasonal than that of other business and leisure rentals, which permits efficiencies in both fleet and labor planning. Finally, cross-selling opportunities exist for us to promote off-airport rentals among frequent airport Hertz #1 Club Gold program renters and, conversely, to promote airport rentals to off-airport renters. In view of those benefits, along with our belief that our market share for off-airport rentals is generally smaller than our market share for airport rentals, we intend to seek profitable growth in the off-airport rental market, both in the United States and internationally.

        From January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2013, we increased the number of our off-airport rental locations in the United States by approximately 56% to 2,574 locations. Our strategy includes selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. We anticipate that same-store sales growth will be driven by our traditional leisure and business traveler customers and by increasing our market share in the insurance replacement market, in which we currently have a relatively low market share. In the United States during the three months ended March 31, 2013, approximately one-third of our rental revenues at off-airport locations were related to replacement rentals. We believe that if we successfully pursue our strategy of profitable off-airport growth, the proportion of replacement rental revenues will increase. As we move forward, our determination of whether to continue to expand our U.S. off-airport network will be based upon a combination of factors, including, commercial activity and potential profitability as well as the concentration of target insurance company policyholders, car dealerships and auto body shops. We also intend to increase the number of our staffed off-airport rental locations internationally based on similar criteria.

Rates

        We rent a wide variety of makes and models of cars. We rent cars on an hourly (in select markets), daily, weekend, weekly, monthly or multi-month basis, with rental charges computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. Our rates vary at different locations depending on local market conditions and other competitive and cost factors. While cars are usually returned to the locations from which they are rented, we also allow one-way rentals from and to certain

111


Table of Contents

locations. In addition to car rentals and licensee fees, we generate revenues from reimbursements by customers of airport concession fees and vehicle licensing costs, fueling charges, and charges for ancillary customer products and services such as supplemental equipment (child seats and ski racks), loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, Hertz NeverLost navigation systems and satellite radio services.

Reservations

        We accept reservations for our cars on a brand-by-brand basis, with each of our brands maintaining, and accepting reservations through, an independent Internet website. Our brands generally accept reservations only for a class of vehicles, although Hertz accepts reservations for specific makes and models of vehicles in our Dream Cars, Prestige Collection, our Adrenaline Collection, our Green Traveler Collection and a limited number of models in high-volume, leisure-oriented destinations. Beginning in December 2010, we made the next generation of electric vehicles available to the general public, initially through our Hertz On Demand car sharing service. Electric vehicles have been added to our fleet and are available at various cities across the U.S. such as New York, Washington D.C. and San Francisco, in Europe and in China. We plan continued deployment of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in both the U.S. and other countries throughout 2013.

        When customers reserve cars for rental from us and our licensees, they may seek to do so through travel agents or third-party travel websites. In many of those cases, the travel agent or website will utilize a third-party operated computerized reservation system, also known as a Global Distribution System, or "GDS," to contact us and make the reservation.

        In major countries, including the United States and all other countries with company-operated locations, customers may also reserve cars for rental from us and our licensees worldwide through local, national or toll-free telephone calls to our reservations center, directly through our rental locations or, in the case of replacement rentals, through proprietary automated systems serving the insurance industry. Additionally, we accept reservations for rentals worldwide through our websites, for us and our licensees. We also offer the ability to reserve cars through our smartphone apps for the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands.

        For the three months ended March 31, 2012, approximately 27% of the worldwide reservations we accepted came through travel agents using GDSs, while 32% came through our websites, 14% through phone calls to our reservations center, 20% through third-party websites and 7% through local booking sources and tour reservations. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have historically used the Internet as their primary source of reservations. As a result, we expect the percent of our reservations that come through the Internet, particularly through our websites and third-party websites, to increase as a result of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition.

Customer Service Offerings

        At our major airport rental locations, as well as at some smaller airport and off-airport locations, customers participating in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program are able to rent vehicles in an expedited manner. In the United States, participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program often bypass the rental counter entirely and proceed directly to their vehicles upon arrival at our facility. Participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program are also eligible to earn Gold Plus Rewards points that may be redeemed for free rental days. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, rentals by Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members accounted for approximately 42% of our worldwide rental transactions. We believe the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program provides a significant competitive advantage to our Hertz brand, particularly among frequent travelers, and we have, through travel industry relationships, targeted such travelers for participation in the program.

112


Table of Contents

        Hertz has introduced a number of customer service offerings in recent years in order to further differentiate itself from the competition. The most significant new offering was Gold Choice. Hertz Gold Choice now offers our customers an option to choose the car they drive. As is the case with participants in our Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program, Gold Choice offers customers a preassigned car, but also allows customers to choose a different model and color from those cars available at the new Gold Choice area. This service is free of charge to Hertz Gold Plus Rewards customers who book a midsize class or above. The Gold Choice program was launched during August 2011 and has rolled out to 52 U.S. airport locations and 8 locations in Europe. Additionally, in select locations customers can bypass the rental line to rent through our ExpressRent Kiosks. Hertz ExpressRent Interactive Kiosks™, available at more than 100 airport and neighborhood locations in the U.S. and Europe, is the only self-service kiosk in the industry equipped with a touchscreen interface and a second screen that allow customers to interact directly with live customer service agents via video to pick up existing rentals or create new rental agreements.

        One of Hertz's major investments in customer engagement in 2012 was its Mobile Gold Alerts service, the culmination of a major customer service enhancement for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members. Also known as "Carfirmations™," an SMS text message and/or email is sent to participating Gold customers approximately 30 minutes prior to their arrival. The Carfirmation includes their rental car details, including make, model and color of the car, as well as the stall number where the car is parked. Mobile Gold Alerts is available to Gold customers renting at Hertz's top 52 airport locations as well as at select neighborhood locations.

        Mobile Gold Alerts further provides speed and convenience, allowing Gold renters to change or upgrade their pre-assigned car before arriving at the location. Taking steps to ensure the customer remains in control of his/her rental experience, customers do not have to spend extra time in line at a counter when using Mobile Gold Alert upgrades. With three simple clicks on any smart phone or tablet, customers can change their assigned car for a similar one at no charge, upgrade to a different car for an additional fee, or take advantage of special "deal of the day" offerings.

        Hertz's e-Return allows customers to simply drop off their car and go at the time of rental return. With Hertz e-Return, Hertz promptly emails the customer's receipt (typically within 30 minutes of returning a car). More than seven million e-Return receipts have been sent on 78% of Gold transactions, with approximately 650,000 e-Receipts sent each month.

Global Car-Sharing

        In late 2008, we introduced a global car-sharing service, now referred to as Hertz On Demand, which rents cars by the hour and/or by the day, at various locations in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Members reserve vehicles online, then pick up the vehicles at various locations throughout a city, at a university or a corporate campus without the need to visit a Hertz rental office. Customers are charged an hourly or daily car-rental fee which includes fuel, insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance, in-car customer service and 180 miles per 24 hour period.

Fleet Leasing and Management Services

        On September 1, 2011, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity of Donlen, a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services for corporate fleets. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Donlen had an average of approximately 165,600 vehicles and 141,500 vehicles, respectively, under lease and management. Donlen provides Hertz an immediate leadership position in long-term car, truck and equipment leasing and fleet management. Donlen's fleet management programs provide outsource solutions to reduce fleet operating costs and improve driver productivity. These programs include administration of preventive maintenance, advisory services, and fuel and accident management along with other complementary services. This transaction is part of the overall growth strategy of

113

Hertz to provide the most flexible transportation programs for corporate and general consumers. Additionally, Donlen brings to Hertz a specialized consulting and technology expertise that will enable us to model, measure and manage fleet performance more effectively and efficiently.

Customers and Business Mix

        We categorize our car rental business based on two primary criteria—the purpose for which customers rent from us (business or leisure) and the type of location from which they rent (airport or off-airport). The table below sets forth, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the percentages of rental revenues and rental transactions in our U.S. and international operations derived from business and leisure rentals and from airport and off-airport rentals.

        Customers who rent from us for "business" purposes include those who require cars in connection with commercial activities, the activities of governments and other organizations or for temporary vehicle replacement purposes. Most business customers rent cars from us on terms that we have negotiated with their employers or other entities with which they are associated, and those terms can differ substantially from the terms on which we rent cars to the general public. We have negotiated arrangements relating to car rental with many large businesses, governments and other organizations, including most Fortune 500 companies.

        Customers who rent from us for "leisure" purposes include not only individual travelers booking vacation travel rentals with us but also people renting to meet other personal needs. Leisure rentals, generally, are longer in duration and generate more revenue per transaction than do business rentals, although some types of business rentals, such as rentals to replace temporarily unavailable cars, have a long average duration. Also included in leisure rentals are rentals by customers of U.S. and international tour operators, which are usually a part of tour packages that can also include air travel and hotel accommodations. Business rentals and leisure rentals have different characteristics and place different types of demands on our operations. We believe that maintaining an appropriate balance between business and leisure rentals is important to the profitability of our business and the consistency of our operations. Following the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, we expect U.S. airport leisure business as a percentage of our worldwide car rental revenue to increase.

        Our business and leisure customers rent from both our airport and off-airport locations. Demand for airport rentals is correlated with airline travel patterns, and transaction volumes generally follow enplanement and GDP trends on a global basis. Customers often make reservations for airport rentals when they book their flight plans, which make our strong relationships with travel agents, associations and other partners (e.g., airlines) a key competitive advantage in generating consistent and recurring revenue streams.

Table of Contents

        Off-airport rentals typically involve people wishing to rent cars closer to home for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. This category also includes people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies because their cars have been damaged. In order to attract these renters, we must establish agreements with the referring insurers establishing the relevant rental terms, including the arrangements made for billing and payment. While we estimate our share of the insurance replacement rental market was approximately 14% of the estimated insurance rental revenue volume for the three months ended March 31, 2013, we have identified 196 insurance companies, ranging from local or regional carriers to large, national companies, as our target insurance replacement market. As of March 31, 2013, we were a preferred or recognized supplier of 181 of these 196 insurance companies and a co-primary at 39 of these 196 insurance companies.

        We conduct active sales and marketing programs to attract and retain customers. Our commercial and travel industry sales force calls on companies and other organizations whose employees and associates need to rent cars for business purposes. In addition, our sales force works with membership associations, tour operators, travel companies and other groups whose members, participants and customers rent cars for either business or leisure purposes. A specialized sales force calls on companies with replacement rental needs, including insurance and leasing companies and car dealers. We also advertise our car rental offerings through a variety of traditional media channels, such as television and newspapers, direct mail and the Internet. In addition to advertising, we also conduct a variety of other forms of marketing and promotion, including travel industry business partnerships and press and public relations activities.

        In almost all cases, when we rent a car, we rent it directly to an individual who is identified in a written rental agreement that we prepare. Except when we are accommodating someone who cannot drive, the individual to whom we rent a car is required to have a valid driver's license and meet other rental criteria (including minimum age and creditworthiness requirements) that vary on the basis of location and type of rental. Our rental agreements permit only licensed individuals renting the car, people signing additional authorized operator forms and certain defined categories of other individuals (such as fellow employees, parking attendants and in some cases spouses or domestic partners) to operate the car.

        With rare exceptions, individuals renting cars from us are personally obligated to pay all amounts due under their rental agreements. They typically pay us with a charge, credit or debit card issued by a third party, although certain customers use a Hertz charge account that we have established for them, usually as part of an agreement between us and their employer. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, all amounts charged to Hertz charge accounts established in the United States and by our international subsidiaries, were billed directly to a company or other organization or were guaranteed by a company. We also issue rental vouchers and certificates that may be used to pay rental charges, mostly for prepaid and tour-related rentals. In addition, where the law requires us to do so, we rent cars on a cash basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, no customer accounted for more than 6% of our car rental revenues.

        In the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2013, 80% of our car rental revenues came from customers who paid us with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, while 10% came from customers using Hertz charge accounts or direct billing, 9% came from customers using rental vouchers or another method of payment and 1% came from cash transactions. In our international operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, 52% of our car rental revenues came from customers who paid us with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, while 25% came from customers using Hertz charge accounts, 22% came from customers using rental vouchers or another method of payment and 1% came from cash transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, bad debt expense represented 0.4% of car rental revenues for our U.S. operations and 0.3% of car rental revenues for our international operations.

Fleet

        We believe we are one of the largest private sector purchasers of new cars in the world. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, we operated a peak rental fleet in the United States of approximately 486,600 and 490,700 cars, respectively, and a combined peak rental fleet in our international operations of approximately 131,400 and 177,900 cars, respectively, in each case exclusive of our licensees' fleet and Donlen's leasing fleet. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our approximate average holding period for a rental car was sixteen months in the United States and thirteen months in our international operations.

        Under our repurchase programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain car condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Repurchase prices under repurchase programs are based on either a predetermined percentage of original car cost and the month in which the car is returned or the original capitalized cost less a set daily depreciation amount. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the cars covered by the programs upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the cars. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to cars purchased under the programs and allow us to determine depreciation expense in advance, however, typically the acquisition cost is higher for these program cars.

        Program cars as a percentage of all cars purchased by our U.S., International and worldwide operations were as follows:

        Within our Donlen subsidiary, revenue earning equipment is under longer term lease agreements with our customers. These leases contain provisions whereby we have a contracted residual value guaranteed to us by the lessee, such that we do not experience any gains or losses on the disposal of these vehicles.

        We have purchased a significant percentage of our car rental fleet from the following vehicle manufacturers:

        Purchases of cars are financed through cash from operations and by active and ongoing global borrowing programs. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        We maintain automobile maintenance centers at certain airports and in certain urban and off-airport areas, which provide maintenance facilities for our car rental fleet. Many of these facilities,

116


Table of Contents

which include sophisticated car diagnostic and repair equipment, are accepted by automobile manufacturers as eligible to perform and receive reimbursement for warranty work. Collision damage and major repairs are generally performed by independent contractors.

        We dispose of non-program cars, as well as program cars that become ineligible for manufacturer repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs, through a variety of disposition channels, including auctions, brokered sales, sales to wholesalers and dealers and primarily in the United States, sales at retail through a network of 28 company-operated car sales locations dedicated exclusively to the sale of used cars from our rental fleet.

        During 2009, we launched Rent2Buy, an innovative program designed to sell used rental cars. The program was licensed to operate in 32 states as of March 31, 2013. Customers have an opportunity for a three-day test rental of a competitively priced car from our rental fleet. If the customer purchases the car, he or she is credited with up to three days of rental charges, and the purchase transaction is completed through the Internet and by mail in those states where permitted.

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, of the cars that were not repurchased by manufacturers, we sold approximately 33% at auction, 47% through dealer direct, 13% through our Rent2Buy program or at retail locations and approximately 7% through other channels. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, of the cars that were not repurchased by manufacturers, we sold approximately 53% at auction, 32% through dealer direct, 10% through our Rent2Buy program or at retail locations and approximately 5% through other channels

Licensees Under Our Hertz Brand

        We believe that our extensive worldwide ownership of car rental operations contributes to the consistency of our high-quality service, cost control, fleet utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and our ability to offer one-way rentals. However, in certain U.S. and international markets, we have found it more efficient to utilize independent licensees, which rent cars that they own. Our licensees operate locations in approximately 145 countries, including most of the countries where we have company-operated locations.

        We believe that our licensee arrangements are important to our business because they enable us to offer expanded national and international service and a broader one-way rental program. Licenses are issued principally by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, under franchise arrangements to independent licensees and affiliates who are engaged in the car rental business in the United States and in many other countries.

        Licensees generally pay fees based on a percentage of their revenues or the number of cars they operate. The operations of all licensees, including the purchase and ownership of vehicles, are financed independently by the licensees, and we do not have any investment interest in the licensees or their fleets. Licensees in the U.S. share in the cost of our U.S. advertising program, reservations system, sales force and certain other services. Our European and other international licensees also share in the cost of our reservations system, sales force and certain other services. In return, licensees are provided the use of the Hertz brand name, management and administrative assistance and training, reservations through our reservations channels, the Gold Plus Rewards and #1 Club Gold programs, our "Rent-it-Here/Leave-it-There" one-way rental program and other services. In addition to car rental, certain licensees outside the United States engage in car leasing, chauffeur- driven rentals and renting camper vans under the Hertz name.

        U.S. licensees ordinarily are limited as to transferability without our consent and are terminable by us only for cause or after a fixed term. Licensees in the United States may generally terminate for any reason on 90 days' notice. In Europe and certain other international jurisdictions, licensees typically do not have early termination rights. Initial license fees or the price for the sale to a licensee of a

117


Table of Contents

company-owned location may be payable over a term of several years. We continue to issue new licenses and, from time to time, purchase licensee businesses.

Franchisees Under Our Dollar and Thrifty Brands

        Both Dollar and Thrifty sell U.S. franchises on an exclusive basis for specific geographic areas, generally outside the top 75 U.S. airport markets. Most franchisees are located at or near airports that generate a lower volume of vehicle rentals than the airports served by company-owned locations. In Canada, Dollar and Thrifty sell franchises in markets generally outside the top eight airport markets. The typical length of a franchise is ten years with a renewal option for five years if certain conditions are met. The franchisee may terminate the franchise for convenience upon 120 days written notice and Dollar and Thrifty may terminate upon breach of the agreement or for cause as defined in the agreement.

        Dollar and Thrifty offer franchisees the opportunity to dual franchise in smaller U.S. and Canadian markets. Under a dual franchise, one franchisee can operate both the Dollar and the Thrifty brand, thus allowing them to generate more business in their market while leveraging fixed costs.

        Dollar and Thrifty license to franchisees the use of their respective brand service marks in the vehicle rental and leasing and parking businesses. Franchisees of Dollar and Thrifty pay an initial franchise fee generally based on the population, number of airline passengers, total airport vehicle rental revenues and the level of any other vehicle rental activity in the franchised territory, as well as other factors. Dollar and Thrifty offer their respective franchisees a wide range of products and services which may not be easily or cost effectively available from other sources.

System Fees in the U.S.

        Dollar—In addition to an initial franchise fee, each Dollar U.S. franchisee generally pays a system fee as a percentage of rental revenue at airport locations and off-airport operations.

        Thrifty—In addition to an initial franchise fee, each Thrifty U.S. franchisee generally pays a fee as a percentage of rental revenue.

System Fees in Canada

        All Dollar and Thrifty Canadian franchisees, whether operating a single-brand or co-brand location, pay a monthly fee generally based on a percentage of rental revenue.

Franchisee Services and Products

        Dollar and Thrifty provide their U.S. and Canadian franchisees a wide range of products and services, including reservations, marketing programs and assistance, branded supplies, image and standards, rental rate management analysis and customer satisfaction programs. Additionally, Dollar and Thrifty offer their respective franchisees centralized corporate account and tour billing and travel agent commission payments.

Table of Contents

International

        Dollar and Thrifty offer master franchises outside the United States and Canada, generally on a countrywide basis. Each master franchisee is permitted to operate within its franchised territory directly or through subfranchisees. At March 31, 2013, Dollar Thrifty had approximately 1,220 franchise locations in 85 countries. Outside of the United States and Canada, these locations are in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions. Dollar and Thrifty offer franchisees the opportunity to license the rights to operate either the Dollar or the Thrifty brand or both brands in certain markets on a dual franchise or co-brand basis.

Competition

        In the United States, in addition to local and regional vehicle rental companies, our principal car rental industry competitors are Avis Budget Group, Inc., or "ABG," which currently operates the Avis and Budget brands and Enterprise Holdings, which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, or "Enterprise," National Car Rental and Alamo brands. In the United States, the Hertz brand had the highest market share, by revenues, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and in the first month of 2013 at approximately 200 of the largest airports where we have company-operated locations.

        In Europe, in addition to us, the principal pan-European participants in the car rental industry are ABG, operating the Avis and Budget brands, and Europcar. Europcar also operates the National Car Rental and Alamo brands in the United Kingdom and Germany, and through franchises in Spain, Italy and France. In certain European countries, there are also other companies and brands with substantial market shares, including Sixt AG (operating the Sixt brand) in Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg; and Enterprise (operating the Enterprise brand) in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. In every European country, there are also national, regional or other, smaller companies operating in the airport and off-airport rentals markets. Apart from Enterprise-branded operations, all of which Enterprise owns, the other major car rental brands are present in European car rental markets through a combination of company-operated and franchisee- or licensee-operated locations.

        Competition among car rental industry participants is intense and is primarily based on price, vehicle availability and quality, service, reliability, rental locations and product innovation. We believe, however, that the prominence and service reputation of the Hertz brand, our extensive worldwide ownership of car rental operations and our commitment to innovation and service provide us with a competitive advantage. Our acquisition of Dollar and Thrifty brands adds two popular value leisure brands enabling us to compete across multiple market segments.


Worldwide Equipment Rental

Operations

Product Offerings

        We, through HERC, operate an equipment rental business in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia. On the basis of total revenues, we believe HERC is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the United States and Canada combined. HERC has operated in the United States since 1965.

        HERC's principal business is the rental of equipment. HERC offers a broad range of equipment for rental; major categories include earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, lighting, air compressors, pumps, generators, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks.

119


Table of Contents

        Ancillary to its rental business, HERC is also a dealer of certain brands of new equipment in the United States and Canada, and sells consumables such as gloves and hardhats at many of its rental locations.

        HERC's comprehensive line of equipment enables it to supply equipment to a wide variety of customers from local contractors to large industrial plants. The fact that many larger companies, particularly those with industrial plant operations, now require single source vendors, not only for equipment rental, but also for management of their total equipment needs fits well with HERC's core competencies. Arrangements with such companies may include maintenance of the tools and equipment they own, supplies and rental tools for their labor force and custom management reports. HERC supports this through its dedicated in-plant operations, tool trailers and plant management systems.

Locations

        As of December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and March 31, 2013, HERC had a total of approximately 320, 320, 340 and 340 branches, respectively, in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia.

        HERC's rental locations generally are located in industrial or commercial zones. A growing number of locations have highway or major thoroughfare visibility. The typical location includes a customer service center, an equipment service area and storage facilities for equipment. The branches are built or conform to the specifications of the HERC prototype branch, which stresses efficiency, safety and environmental compliance. Most branches have stand-alone maintenance and fueling facilities and showrooms.

        HERC's broad equipment line in the United States and Canada also includes, equipment with an acquisition cost of under $10,000 per unit, ranging from air compressors and generators to small tools and accessories, in order to supply customers who are local contractors with a greater proportion of their overall equipment rental needs. As of March 31, 2013, these activities, referred to as "general rental activities," were conducted at approximately one-third of HERC's U.S. and Canadian rental locations. Before it begins to conduct general rental activities at a location, HERC typically renovates the location to make it more appealing to walk-in customers and adds staff and equipment in anticipation of subsequent demand.

Business Initiatives

        In early 2010, Hertz launched Hertz Entertainment Services, a division which provides single-source car and equipment rental solutions to the entertainment and special events industries. Hertz Entertainment Services provides customized vehicle and equipment rental solutions to movie, film and television productions, live sports and entertainment events, and all-occasion special events, such as conventions and fairs. Hertz Entertainment Services are tailored to fit the needs of large and small productions alike with competitive pricing and customized, monthly billing. Hertz delivers vehicles and equipment to production locations and a dedicated staff is available 24/7 to address specific client needs. Productions can also rent equipment for use at special events such as lighting, generators and other machinery.

        In February 2010, HERC entered into a joint venture with Saudi Arabia based Dayim Holdings Company, Ltd. to set up equipment rental operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The joint venture entity rents and sells equipment and tools to construction and industrial markets throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Customers

        HERC's customers consist predominantly of commercial accounts and represent a wide variety of industries, such as construction, petrochemical, automobile manufacturing, railroad, power generation, shipbuilding and entertainment and special events. Serving a number of different industries enables HERC to reduce its dependence on a single or limited number of customers in the same business and somewhat reduces the seasonality of HERC's revenues and its dependence on construction cycles. HERC primarily targets customers in medium to large metropolitan markets. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, no customer of HERC accounted for more than 2.5% and 1.5%, respectively, of HERC's worldwide rental revenues. Of HERC's combined U.S. and Canadian rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 37% and 37%, respectively, were derived from customers operating in the construction industry (the majority of which were in the non-residential sector) and approximately 28% and 27%, respectively, were derived from customers in the industrial business, while the remaining revenues were derived from rentals to governmental and other types of customers.

        Unlike in our car rental business, where we enter into rental agreements with the end-user who will operate the cars being rented, HERC ordinarily enters into a rental agreement with the legal entity—typically a company, governmental body or other organization—seeking to rent HERC's equipment. Moreover, unlike in our car rental business, where our cars are normally picked up and dropped off by customers at our rental locations, HERC delivers much of its rental equipment to its customers' job sites and retrieves the equipment from the job sites when the rentals conclude. HERC extends credit terms to many of its customers to pay for rentals. Thus, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, 95% of HERC's revenues came from customers who were invoiced by HERC for rental charges, while 5% came from customers paying with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, cash or used another method of payment. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, bad debt expense represented 0.6% of HERC's revenues.

Fleet

        HERC acquires its equipment from a variety of manufacturers. The equipment is typically new at the time of acquisition and not subject to any repurchase program. The per-unit acquisition cost of units of rental equipment in HERC's fleet varies from over $200,000 to under $100. As of March 31, 2013, the average per-unit acquisition cost (excluding small equipment purchased for less than $5,000 per unit) for HERC's fleet in the United States was approximately $38,500. As of March 31, 2013, the average age of HERC's worldwide rental fleet was approximately 43 months.

        HERC disposes of its used equipment through a variety of channels, including private sales to customers and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales and auctions.

Licensees

        HERC licenses the Hertz name to equipment rental businesses in six countries in Europe, in Afghanistan and Chile. The terms of those licenses are broadly similar to those we grant to our international car rental licensees.

Competition

        HERC's competitors in the equipment rental industry range from other large national companies to small regional and local businesses. In each of the six countries where HERC operates, the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented, with large numbers of companies operating on a regional or local scale. The number of industry participants operating on a national scale is, however, much smaller. HERC is one of the principal national-scale industry participants in the U.S., Canada and France. HERC's operations in the United States represented approximately 71% of our worldwide

121


Table of Contents

equipment rental revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the United States and Canada, the other top national-scale industry participants are United Rentals, Inc., or "URI," Sunbelt Rentals, Home Depot Rentals and Aggreko North America. A number of individual Caterpillar, Inc., or "CAT," dealers also participate in the equipment rental market in the United States, Canada, France and Spain. In France, the other principal national-scale industry participants are Loxam, Kiloutou and Laho. Aggreko also participates in the power generation rental markets in France and Spain. In China, the other principal national-scale industry participants are Zicheng Corporation, Aggreko, Jin He Yuan, Lei Shing Hong and Far East Rental. In Saudi Arabia, the other principal national-scale industry participants are Bin Quraya, Al Zahid Tractors (CAT), Rapid Access, Eastern Arabia and Rental Solutions & Services (RSS) Saudi Ltd.

        Competition in the equipment rental industry is intense, and it often takes the form of price competition. HERC's competitors, some of which may have access to substantial capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that HERC matches downward competitor pricing without reducing our operating costs, it could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. We believe that HERC's competitive success has been primarily the product of its more than 40 years of experience in the equipment rental industry, its systems and procedures for monitoring, controlling and developing its branch network, its capacity to maintain a comprehensive rental fleet, the quality of its sales force and its established national accounts program.


Other Operations

        Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hertz Claim Management Corporation, or "HCM," provides claim administration services to us and, to a lesser extent, to third parties. These services include investigating, evaluating, negotiating and disposing of a wide variety of claims, including third-party, first-party, bodily injury, property damage, general liability and product liability, but not the underwriting of risks. HCM conducts business at five regional offices in the United States. Separate subsidiaries of ours conduct similar operations in six countries in Europe.


Seasonality

        Generally, car rental and equipment rental are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during spring and summer. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. However, certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information technology systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. Revenues related to our fleet management services are generally not seasonal. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our business is highly seasonal and any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during our peak periods could materially adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows and results of operations." The following table sets forth this seasonal effect by providing quarterly revenues for each of the quarters in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the quarter ended March 31, 2013 (in millions of dollars).

Revenues

GRAPHIC


Employees

        As of March 31, 2013, we employed approximately 30,800 persons, consisting of approximately 23,000 persons in our U.S. operations and 7,800 persons in our international operations. International employees are covered by a wide variety of union contracts and governmental regulations affecting, among other things, compensation, job retention rights and pensions. Labor contracts covering the terms of employment of approximately 5,955 employees in the United States (including those in the U.S. territories) are presently in effect under approximately 130 active contracts with local unions, affiliated primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. Labor contracts covering approximately 1,190 of these employees will expire during the remainder of 2013. We have had no material work stoppage as a result of labor problems during the last ten years, and we believe our labor relations to be good. Nonetheless, we may be unable to negotiate new labor contracts on terms advantageous to us, or without labor interruptions.

        In addition to the employees referred to above, we employ a substantial number of temporary workers, and engage outside services, as is customary in the industry, principally for the non-revenue movement of rental cars and equipment between rental locations and the movement of rental equipment to and from customers' job sites.


Risk Management

        Three types of generally insurable risks arise in our operations:

    legal liability arising from the operation of our cars and on-road equipment (vehicle liability);

    legal liability to members of the public and employees from other causes (general liability/workers' compensation); and

    risk of property damage and/or business interruption and/or increased cost of working as a consequence of property damage.

        In addition, we offer optional liability insurance and other products providing insurance coverage, which create additional risk exposures for us. Our risk of property damage is also increased when we waive the provisions in our rental contracts that hold a renter responsible for damage or loss under an

123


Table of Contents

optional loss or damage waiver that we offer. We bear these and other risks, except to the extent the risks are transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.

        In many cases we self-insure our risks or insure risks through wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. We mitigate our exposure to large liability losses by maintaining excess insurance coverage, subject to deductibles and caps, through unaffiliated carriers. For our international operations outside of Europe, and for our long-term fleet leasing operations, we maintain some liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers.

Third-Party Liability

        In our domestic operations, we are required by applicable financial responsibility laws to maintain insurance against legal liability for bodily injury (including death) or property damage to third parties arising from the operation of our cars and on-road equipment, sometimes called "vehicle liability," in stipulated amounts. In most places, we satisfy those requirements by qualifying as a self-insurer, a process that typically involves governmental filings and demonstration of financial responsibility, which sometimes requires the posting of a bond or other security. In the remaining places, we obtain an insurance policy from an unaffiliated insurance carrier and indemnify the carrier for any amounts paid under the policy. As a result of such arrangements, we bear economic responsibility for domestic vehicle liability, except to the extent we successfully transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

        For our car and equipment rental operations in Europe, we have established a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Probus Insurance Company Europe Limited, or "Probus," a direct writer of insurance domiciled in Ireland. In European countries with company-operated locations, we have purchased from Probus the vehicle liability insurance required by law, and Probus reinsured the risks under such insurance with Hertz International RE, a reinsurer organized in Ireland, or "HIRE," and/or HIRE Bermuda Limited, a wholly-owned reinsurance company domiciled in Bermuda. This coverage is purchased from unaffiliated carriers for Spain. We also insure a portion of our European property risk through Probus. Thus, as with our domestic operations, we bear economic responsibility for vehicle liability in our European car and equipment rental operations, except to the extent that we transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. For our international operations outside of Europe, we maintain some form of vehicle liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers. The nature of such coverage, and our economic responsibility for covered losses, varies considerably. In all cases, though, we believe the amounts and nature of the coverage we obtain is adequate in light of the respective potential hazards.

        Both domestically and in our international operations, from time to time in the course of our business we become legally responsible to members of the public for bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising from causes other than the operation of our cars and on-road equipment, sometimes known as "general liability." As with vehicle liability, we bear economic responsibility for general liability losses, except to the extent we transfer such losses to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

        To mitigate these exposures, we maintain excess liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated insurance carriers at an aggregate of $200 million for policy periods ended December 21, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010. For our international car rental operations outside of Europe, we also maintain liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective potential hazards, where such insurance is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

        Our domestic rental contracts for both car and equipment rental, as well as our domestic and international long-term fleet leasing contracts, typically provide that the renter will indemnify us for liability arising from the operation of the rented vehicle or equipment (for car rentals in certain places, though, only to the extent such liability exceeds the amount stipulated in the applicable financial

124


Table of Contents

responsibility law). In addition, many of HERC's domestic rental contracts require the renter to maintain liability insurance under which HERC is entitled to coverage. While such provisions are sometimes effective to transfer liability to renters, their value to us, particularly in cases of large losses, may be limited. The rental contracts used in our international operations sometimes contain provisions relating to insurance or indemnity, but they are typically more limited than those employed in our domestic operations.

        In our domestic car rental operations, we offer an optional liability insurance product, Liability Insurance Supplement, or "LIS," that provides vehicle liability insurance coverage substantially higher than state minimum levels to the renter and other authorized operators of a rented vehicle. LIS coverage is provided under excess liability insurance policies issued by an unaffiliated insurance carrier, the risks under which are reinsured with a subsidiary of ours, HIRE Bermuda Limited. As a consequence of those reinsurance arrangements, rental customers' purchases of LIS do not reduce our economic exposure to vehicle liability. Instead, our exposure to vehicle liability is potentially increased when LIS is purchased, because insured renters and other operators may have vehicle liability imposed on them in circumstances and in amounts where the applicable rental agreement or applicable law would not, absent the arrangements just described, impose vehicle liability on us.

        In both our domestic car rental operations and our company-operated international car rental operations in many countries, we offer optional products providing insurance coverage, or "PAI/PEC" coverage, to the renter and the renter's immediate family members traveling with the renter for accidental death or accidental medical expenses arising during the rental period or for damage or loss of their property during the rental period. PAI/PEC coverage is provided under insurance policies issued by unaffiliated carriers or, in Europe, by Probus, and the risks under such policies either are reinsured with HIRE or another subsidiary of ours or are the subject of indemnification arrangements between us and the carriers. Rental customers' purchases of PAI/PEC coverage create additional risk exposures for us, since we would not typically be liable for the risks insured by PAI/PEC coverage if that coverage had not been purchased.

        Our offering of LIS and PAI/PEC coverage in our domestic car rental operations is conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance producers. In our international car rental operations, our offering of PAI/PEC coverage historically has not been regulated; however, in the countries of the European Union, the regulatory environment for insurance intermediaries is evolving, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue offering PAI/PEC coverage without substantial changes in its offering process or in the terms of the coverage or that such changes, if required, would not render uneconomic our continued offering of the coverage.

        Provisions on our books for self-insured vehicle liability losses are made by charges to expense based upon evaluations of estimated ultimate liabilities on reported and unreported claims. As of March 31, 2013, this liability was estimated at $321.0 million for our combined domestic and international operations.

Damage to Our Property

        We bear the risk of damage to our property, unless such risk is transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.

        To mitigate our risk of large, single-site property damage losses globally, we maintain property insurance with unaffiliated insurance carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms.

        Our rental contracts typically provide that the renter is responsible for damage to or loss (including loss through theft) of rented vehicles or equipment. We generally offer an optional rental product, known in various countries as "loss damage waiver," "collision damage waiver," "theft

125

protection" or "accident excess reduction," under which we waive or limit our right to make a claim for such damage or loss. This product is not regulated as insurance, but it is subject to specific laws in roughly half of the U.S. jurisdictions where we operate.

        Collision damage costs and the costs of stolen or unaccounted-for vehicles and equipment, along with other damage to our property, are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Risks

        To manage other risks associated with our businesses, or to comply with applicable law, we purchase other types of insurance carried by business organizations, such as worker's compensation and employer's liability, commercial crime and fidelity, performance bonds and directors' and officers' liability insurance from unaffiliated insurance companies in amounts deemed by us to be adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such coverage is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.


Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters

        Throughout the world, we are subject to numerous types of governmental controls, including those relating to prices and advertising, privacy and data protection, currency controls, labor matters, charge card operations, insurance, environmental protection, used car sales and licensing.

Environmental

        The environmental requirements applicable to our operations generally pertain to (i) the operation and maintenance of cars, trucks and other vehicles, such as heavy equipment, buses and vans; (ii) the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel and oil; and (iii) the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of waste materials, including oil, vehicle wash sludge and waste water. We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

        The use of cars and other vehicles is subject to various governmental requirements designed to limit environmental damage, including those caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these requirements are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional equipment failure requiring repair by us. Measures are taken at certain locations in states that require the installation of Stage II Vapor Recovery equipment to reduce the loss of vapor during the fueling process.

        As of March 31, 2013, we utilized approximately 470 tanks underground and approximately 1,560 above-ground to store petroleum products. We believe our tanks are maintained in material compliance with environmental regulations, including federal and state financial responsibility requirements for corrective action and third-party claims due to releases. Our compliance program for our tanks is intended to ensure that (i) the tanks are properly registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the tanks are located and (ii) the tanks have been either replaced or upgraded to meet applicable secondary containment, leak detection and spill, overfill and corrosion protection requirements.

        We are also incurring and providing for expenses for the investigation and cleanup of contamination from the discharge of petroleum substances at, or emanating from, currently and formerly owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" and our audited consolidated balance sheets in "Other accrued liabilities" were $2.6 million

126


Table of Contents

and $2.6 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the site. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the nature of the contamination, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

        With respect to cleanup expenditures for the discharge of petroleum substances at, or emanating from, currently and formerly owned or leased properties, we have received reimbursement, in whole or in part, from certain U.S. states that maintain underground storage tank petroleum cleanup reimbursement funds. Such funds have been established to assist tank owners in the payment of cleanup costs associated with releases from registered tanks. With respect to off-site U.S. locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified, we have been and continue to be required to contribute to cleanup costs due to strict joint and several cleanup liability imposed by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and comparable state superfund statutes.

        Environmental legislation and regulations and related administrative policies have changed rapidly in recent years, both in the United States and in other countries. There is a risk that governmental environmental requirements, or enforcement thereof, may become more stringent in the future and that we may be subject to legal proceedings brought by government agencies or private parties with respect to environmental matters. In addition, with respect to the cleanup of contamination, additional locations at which waste generated by us or substances used by us may have been released or disposed, and of which we are currently unaware, may in the future become the subject of cleanup for which we may be liable, in whole or in part. Further, at airport-leased properties, we may be subject to environmental requirements imposed by airports that are more restrictive than those obligations imposed by environmental regulatory agencies. Accordingly, while we believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable requirements of environmental laws, we cannot offer assurance that our future environmental liabilities will not be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Dealings with Renters

        In the United States, car and equipment rental transactions are generally subject to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs "leases" of tangible personal property. Car rental is also specifically regulated in more than half of the states of the United States. The subjects of state regulation include the methods by which we advertise, quote and charge prices, the consequences of failing to honor reservations, the terms on which we deal with vehicle loss or damage (including the protections we provide to renters purchasing loss or damage waivers) and the terms and method of sale of the optional insurance coverage that we offer. Some states (including California, New York, Nevada and Illinois) regulate the price at which we may sell loss or damage waivers, and many state insurance regulators have authority over the prices and terms of the optional insurance coverage we offer. See "—Risk Management" above for further discussion regarding the loss or damage waivers and optional insurance coverages that we offer renters. Internationally, regulatory regimes vary greatly by jurisdiction, but they do not generally prevent us from dealing with customers in a manner similar to that employed in the United States.

127


Table of Contents

        Both in the United States and internationally, we are subject to increasing regulation relating to customer privacy and data protection. In general, we are limited in the uses to which we may put data that we collect about renters, including the circumstances in which we may communicate with them. In addition, we are generally obligated to take reasonable steps to protect customer data while it is in our possession. Our failure to do so could subject us to substantial legal liability or seriously damage our reputation.

Changes in Regulation

        Changes in government regulation of our businesses have the potential to materially alter our business practices, or our profitability. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect; this is particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have either more or less impact on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances. Several U.S. State Attorneys General have taken the position that car rental companies either may not pass through to customers, by means of separate charges, expenses such as vehicle licensing and concession fees or may do so only in certain limited circumstances. Recent or potential changes in law or regulation that affect us relate to insurance intermediaries, customer privacy and data security and rate regulation, each as described under the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Changes in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile-related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations."

        In addition, our operations, as well as those of our competitors, also could be affected by any limitation in the fuel supply or by any imposition of mandatory allocation or rationing regulations. We are not aware of any current proposal to impose such a regime in the United States or internationally. Such a regime could, however, be quickly imposed if there were a serious disruption in supply for any reason, including an act of war, terrorist incident or other problem affecting petroleum supply, refining, distribution or pricing.


Properties

        We operate car rental locations at or near airports and in central business districts and suburban areas of major cities in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Australia, New Zealand, China and Brazil, as well as retail used car sales locations in the United States, France and Australia. We operate equipment rental locations in the United States, Canada, France, Spain and China. We also operate headquarters, sales offices and service facilities in the foregoing countries in support of our car rental and equipment rental operations, as well as small car rental sales offices and service facilities in a select number of other countries in Europe and Asia.

        We own approximately 6% of the locations from which we operate our car and equipment rental businesses and in some cases own real property that we lease to franchisees or other third parties. The remaining locations from which we operate our car and equipment rental businesses are leased or operated under concessions from governmental authorities and private entities. Those leases and concession agreements typically require the payment of minimum rents or minimum concession fees and often also require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses; to pay additional rent, or concession fees above guaranteed minimums, based on a percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant

premises; or to do both. See Note 10 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        In addition to the above operational locations, we own three major facilities in the vicinity of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at which reservations for our car rental operations are processed, global information technology systems are serviced and major domestic and international accounting functions are performed. We also have a long-term lease for a reservation and financial center near Dublin, Ireland, at which we have centralized our European car rental reservation, customer relations, accounting and human resource functions. We lease a European headquarters office in Uxbridge, England.

        We currently maintain our executive headquarters in an owned facility in Park Ridge, New Jersey and Dollar Thrifty has its headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In May 2013, we announced our intention to relocate our worldwide headquarters to a new facility to be constructed in Estero, Florida. We have entered into an agreement to purchase the property on which the new worldwide headquarters will be constructed. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, we expect to close the purchase of such property no later than the fourth quarter of 2013. In connection with our commitment to relocate our worldwide headquarters, in June 2013, we entered into a two-year lease for temporary headquarters located in Naples, Florida, which will house certain of our employees pending the construction of our new headquarters in Estero.

        Donlen's headquarters is in Northbrook, Illinois. Donlen also leases office space in Darien, Illinois and Buffalo Grove, Illinois for all of its fleet management services, consultation call center staff and certain financial systems functions. Donlen has other sales offices located throughout the United States.


Legal Proceedings

        From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings. Other than with respect to the aggregate claims for public liability and property damage pending against us, management does not believe that any of the matters resolved, or pending against us, during 2012 or the three months ended March 31, 2013 are material to us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole. While we have accrued a liability with respect to claims for public liability and property damage of $321.0 million and $332.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, management, based on the advice of legal counsel, does not believe any of the other pending matters described below are material. We have summarized below, for purposes of providing background, various legal proceedings to which we were and/or are a party during 2013 or the period after March 31, 2013 but before the date of this prospectus. In addition to the following, various other legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. A previously disclosed, on June 15, 2011 we received a subpoena from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," seeking production of documents related to our proposed business combination with Dollar Thrifty. On February 14, 2013, we were informed by the staff that the investigation has been completed and that no action was taken by the staff or the SEC.

    Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or "HERC," Loss Damage Waiver

      On August 15, 2006, Davis Landscape, Ltd., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint against HERC in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In November 2006, the complaint was amended to add another plaintiff, Miguel V. Pro, and more claims. The Davis Landscape matter purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons and business entities who rented equipment from HERC and who paid a Loss Damage Waiver, or "LDW," or an Environmental Recovery Fee, or "ERF." The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment and injunction prohibiting HERC from engaging in acts with respect to the LDW and ERF charges that violate the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and claim that the charges violate the Uniform Commercial Code. The

129


Table of Contents

      plaintiffs also seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages with the return of all LDW and ERF charges paid, attorneys' fees and costs as well as other damages. The court has granted class certification, denied our motion for summary judgment and the case is in the discovery stages. In February 2012, we filed separate motions for partial summary judgment on the LDW and ERF claims and we filed a motion to decertify the class. In June 2012, the judge denied our motion for partial summary judgment on the LDW claim and, in July 2012, the judge granted our motion for partial summary judgment on the ERF claim. The court also entered an order referring the case to mediation by private consent of the parties. In March 2013, the parties executed a settlement agreement and thereafter sought from the court preliminary approval and, after notice to the class, final approval of the proposed settlement. In June 2013, the court gave final approval to the proposed settlement and, since no objectors to the settlement came forward, an appeal is not expected. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost, which is not material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Concession Fee Recoveries

      On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, or "Enterprise," was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The plaintiffs agreed to not pursue claims against Enterprise initially and the case only proceeded against Hertz. The Sobel case purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz from quoting or charging those airport fees that are alleged not to be allowed by Nevada law. The complaint also seeks attorneys' fees and costs. Relevant documents were produced, depositions were taken and pre-trial motions were filed. After the court rendered a mixed ruling on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment and after the Lydia Lee case was refiled against Enterprise, the parties engaged in mediation which resulted in a proposed settlement. Although the court tentatively approved the settlement in November 2010, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the proposed settlement in May 2011. Since that time, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification—which we opposed—and discovery has commenced again. A separate action is proceeding against Enterprise, National and Alamo. In May 2012, all briefing was completed on the two outstanding issues—unjust enrichment and damages. The briefing included expert reports as submitted by both sides. In October 2012, the court held a hearing on the plaintiffs' motion for class certification. In March 2013, the court granted, in part, the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment with respect to restitution and granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification, while denying Hertz's motion for partial summary judgment. The court further indicated that plaintiffs are entitled to prejudgment interest from the date of the plaintiffs' first amended complaint. A judgment has not yet been entered in the case, and there are expected to be further proceedings before the district court. The amount of a judgment could potentially exceed $40.0 million. Hertz intends to appeal or seek other appropriate relief and believes that the court's liability, damages and class certification findings will be reversed. We continue to believe the outcome of this case will not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Telephone Consumer Protection Act

      On May 3, 2007, Fun Services of Kansas City, Inc., individually and as the representative of a class of similarly-situated persons, v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation was commenced in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. The case was subsequently transferred to the

130


Table of Contents

      District Court of Johnson County, Kansas. The Fun Services matter purports to be a class action on behalf of all persons in Kansas and throughout the United States who on or after four years prior to the filing of the action were sent facsimile messages of advertising materials relating to the availability of property, goods or services by HERC and who did not provide express permission for sending such faxes. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, attorney's fees and costs. In August 2009, the court issued an order that stayed all activity in this litigation pending a decision by the Kansas Supreme Court in Critchfield Physical Therapy, Inc. v. Taranto Group, Inc., another Telephone Consumer Protection Act case. The Kansas Supreme Court issued its decision in September 2011. Thereafter, the District Court of Johnson County lifted the stay in the Fun Services case and issued a scheduling order that addresses class certification discovery. In February 2012, HERC filed a Notice of Removal with the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas seeking to remove the case to federal court based on federal question jurisdiction. In March 2012, the federal magistrate entered an order requiring the parties to engage in mediation and report back to her regarding their progress by June 2012. In June 2012, a mediation was held and as a result of the mediation, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this class action. A settlement that addresses compensation to class members, class counsel fees and the claims process was finalized by the parties' counsel in January 2013. The court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement in January 2013. A final approval hearing was held in April 2013 at which time the court, after providing verbal approval, requested that it be provided with certain factual information relating to the settlement. A follow-up conference with the court is currently scheduled for late June 2013. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost, which is not material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    California Tourism Assessments

      We are currently a defendant in a proceeding that purports to be a class action brought by Michael Shames and Gary Gramkow against The Hertz Corporation, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Avis Budget Group, Inc., Vanguard Car Rental USA, Inc., Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, Fox Rent A Car, Inc., Coast Leasing Corp., The California Travel and Tourism Commission, and Caroline Beteta.

      Originally filed in November of 2007, the action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and plaintiffs claim to represent a class of individuals or entities that purchased rental car services from a defendant at airports located in California after January 1, 2007. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants agreed to charge consumers a 2.5% tourism assessment and not to compete with respect to this assessment, while misrepresenting that this assessment is owed by consumers, rather than the rental car defendants, to the California Travel and Tourism Commission, or the "CTTC." Plaintiffs also allege that defendants agreed to pass through to consumers a fee known as the Airport Concession Fee, which fee had previously been required to be included in the rental car defendants' individual base rates, without reducing their base rates. Based on these allegations, the amended complaint seeks treble damages, disgorgement, injunctive relief, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. Plaintiffs dropped their claims against Caroline Beteta. Plaintiffs' claims against the rental car defendants have been dismissed, except for the federal antitrust claim. In June 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' antitrust case against the CTTC as a state agency immune from antitrust complaint because the California Legislature foresaw the alleged price-fixing conspiracy that was the subject of the complaint. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a petition with the Ninth Circuit seeking a rehearing and that petition was granted. In November 2010, the Ninth Circuit withdrew its June opinion and instead held that state action immunity was improperly invoked.

131


Table of Contents

      The Ninth Circuit reinstated the plaintiffs' antitrust claims and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. In May 2012, the district court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement of this action; certifying a settlement class; certifying a class representative and lead counsel; and providing for class notice. In October 2012, the court held a final approval hearing. In November 2012, the court issued an order of final approval of the settlement of this action. Objectors to the settlement have appealed this order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost, which is not material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    5.
    Public Liability and Property Damage

      We are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on our balance sheet, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. At March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 our liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $321.0 million, $332.2 million, and $281.5 million, respectively. We believe that our analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that we may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. We note the liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

        We intend to assert that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

        We have established reserves for matters where we believe that the losses are probable and reasonably estimated, including for various of the matters set forth above. Other than with respect to the aggregate reserves established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including those described above, where we have not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Maturities

        The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31 (in millions of dollars), determined on the basis of indebtedness that was outstanding as of March 31, 2013, are as follows:

2014

  $ 5,511.2   (including $5,212.0 of other short-term borrowings*)

2015

  $ 1,991.1    

2016

  $ 1,101.8    

2017

  $ 529.2    

2018

  $ 248.1    

After 2018

  $ 6,480.9    

*
Our short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2013 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, HVF U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, RCFC U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, European Revolving Credit Facility, European Securitization, Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Australian Securitization, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility and Capitalized Leases. These amounts are reflected as short-term borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2013, short-term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 1.8%.

        We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.


Letters of Credit

        As of March 31, 2013, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $669.6 million. Of this amount, $617.6 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2013, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.


Corporate Debt

Senior Credit Facilities

        Senior Term Facility:    In March 2011, Hertz entered into a credit agreement that provides a $1,400.0 million term loan, or as amended, the "Senior Term Facility." In addition, the Senior Term Facility includes a separate incremental pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Senior Term Facility allows for the incurrence of incremental term and/or revolving loans.

        On October 9, 2012, Hertz entered into an Incremental Commitment Amendment to the Senior Term Facility. The Incremental Commitment Amendment increased the amount available under the Senior Term Facility by providing for commitments for an additional $750.0 million of incremental terms loans (the "Incremental Term Loans") under the Senior Term Facility. Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, the Incremental Term Loans were fully drawn and the proceeds therefrom were used to: (i) finance a portion of the consideration in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, (ii) pay off obligations of Dollar Thrifty and its subsidiaries in connection

135


Table of Contents

with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and (iii) pay fees and other transaction expenses in connection with the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition and the related financing transactions.

        The Incremental Term Loans are secured by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as the previously existing term loans under the Senior Term Facility. The Incremental Term Loans will, like the previously existing term loans under the Senior Term Facility, mature on March 11, 2018 and the interest rate per annum applicable thereto will be the same as such previously existing term loans. The other terms of the Incremental Term Loans are also generally the same.

        In April 2013, Hertz entered into an Amendment No. 2, or "Amendment No. 2," to the Senior Term Facility, primarily to reduce the interest rate applicable to a portion of the outstanding term loans under the Senior Term Facility. Prior to Amendment No. 2, approximately $1,372.0 million of tranche B term loans, or "Tranche B Term Loans," under the Senior Term Facility bore interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz's option, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate not less than 1.00 percent plus a borrowing margin of 2.75 percent per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.75 percent per annum. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, certain of the existing lenders under the Senior Term Facility converted their existing Tranche B Term Loans into a new tranche of tranche B-2 term loans, or the "Tranche B-2 Term Loans," in an aggregate principal amount, along with new loans advanced by certain new lenders, of approximately $1,372.0 million. The proceeds of Tranche B-2 Term Loans advanced by the new lenders were used to prepay in full all of the Tranche B Term Loans that were not converted into Tranche B-2 Term Loans.

        The Tranche B-2 Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz's option, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate not less than 0.75 percent plus a borrowing margin of 2.25 percent per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.25 percent per annum. The terms and conditions of the new Tranche B-2 Term Loans with respect to maturity, collateral, and covenants are otherwise unchanged compared to the Tranche B Term Loans.

        Senior ABL Facility:    In March 2011, Hertz, HERC, and certain other of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,800.0 million (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-based revolving credit facility. We refer to this facility, as amended, from time to time, as the "Senior ABL Facility." Up to $1,500.0 million of the Senior ABL Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to certain conditions including issuing lender participation. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Senior ABL Facility allows for the addition of incremental revolving and/or term loan commitments. In addition, the Senior ABL Facility permits Hertz to increase the amount of commitments under the Senior ABL Facility with the consent of each lender providing an additional commitment, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

        We refer to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility together as the "Senior Credit Facilities." Hertz's obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by its immediate parent (Hertz Investors, Inc.) and most of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions, including Hertz International Limited, which ultimately owns entities carrying on most of our international operations, and subsidiaries involved in the HVF U.S. Asset-Backed Securities, or "ABS," Program, the Donlen ABS Program and, the RCFC U.S. ABS Program). In addition, the obligations of the "Canadian borrowers" under the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by their respective subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

        The lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities have been granted a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and guarantors under those facilities, including pledges of the stock of certain of their respective domestic subsidiaries (subject, in each case, to certain exceptions, including certain vehicles). Each of the Senior Credit Facilities permits the incurrence of future indebtedness secured on a basis either equal to or subordinated to the liens securing the applicable Senior Credit Facility or on an unsecured basis.

136


Table of Contents

        We refer to Hertz and its subsidiaries as the Hertz credit group. The Senior Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments (including to the parent entities of Hertz and other persons), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, engage in certain transactions with affiliates that are not within the Hertz credit group or enter into certain restrictive agreements limiting the ability to pledge assets.

        Under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2013, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

        Covenants in the Senior Term Facility restrict payment of cash dividends to any parent of Hertz, including Hertz Holdings, with certain exceptions, including: (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed 1.0% of the greater of a specified minimum amount and the consolidated tangible assets of the Hertz credit group (which payments are deducted in determining the amount available as described in the next clause (ii)), (ii) in additional amounts up to a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, an amount set forth in the Senior Term Facility plus 50% of net income from January 1, 2011 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of Hertz are available (less certain investments) and (iii) in additional amounts not to exceed the amount of certain equity contributions made to Hertz.

        Covenants in the Senior ABL Facility restrict payment of cash dividends to any parent of Hertz, including Hertz Holdings, except in an aggregate amount, taken together with certain investments, acquisitions and optional prepayments, not to exceed $200 million. Hertz may also pay additional cash dividends under the Senior ABL Facility so long as, among other things, (a) no specified default then exists or would arise as a result of making such dividends, (b) there is at least $200 million of liquidity under the Senior ABL Facility after giving effect to the proposed dividend, and (c) either (i) if such liquidity is less than $400 million immediately after giving effect to the making of such dividends, Hertz is in compliance with a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, or (ii) the amount of the proposed dividend does not exceed the sum of (x) 1.0% of tangible assets plus (y) a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, 50% of net income from January 1, 2011 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of Hertz are available plus (z) a specified amount of certain equity contributions made to Hertz.

        In November 2012, we amended the Senior ABL Facility to deem letters of credit issued under Dollar Thrifty's now-terminated senior revolving credit facility to have been issued under the Senior ABL Facility.

Senior Notes

        In March 2012, Hertz issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds of this March 2012 offering were used in March 2012 in part to redeem $162.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Hertz's outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $1.2 million recorded in "Interest expense" on our consolidated statement of operations. The remainder of the proceeds of this March 2012 offering, along with cash on hand or drawings under the Senior ABL Facility were used to redeem €213.5 million ($286.0 million) in aggregate principal amount of Hertz's outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014, which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $2.0 million recorded in "Interest expense" on our consolidated statement of operations.

        In October 2012, HDTFS, Inc., a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz (referred to herein as the "Escrow Issuer") issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior

137


Table of Contents

Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), each in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The proceeds from this issuance were placed in escrow pending consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition. Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition, the proceeds from the issuance were released from escrow, the Escrow Issuer merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz continuing as the surviving entity, and Hertz assumed the Escrow Issuer's obligations under the 2020 Notes, the 2022 Notes and the indenture governing the same (which is also the Indenture governing the Notes and the Exchange Notes).

        In March 2013, Hertz issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer). The Notes were issued as a separate series of additional notes under the indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, being referred to herein as the "Indenture"), among Hertz (as successor-in-interest to HDTFS, Inc.), as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2020 Notes and 2022 Notes were previously issued as separate series of notes under the Indenture. The proceeds of this March 2013 offering were used by us to replenish a portion of our liquidity, after having dividended $467.2 million in available liquidity to Hertz Holdings, which Hertz Holdings used to repurchase 23.2 million shares of its common stock in March 2013.

        Hertz's obligations under the indentures for the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility. In February 2013 and March 2013, we added Dollar Thrifty and certain of its subsidiaries as subsidiary guarantors under certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities (including the indentures governing the Senior Notes), which entities are included among the Subsidiary Guarantors. The guarantees of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors may be released to the extent such subsidiaries no longer guarantee our Senior Credit Facilities in the United States. HERC may also be released from its guarantee under the outstanding Senior Notes at any time at which no event of default under the related indenture has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding that HERC may remain a subsidiary of Hertz.

        The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.

        The covenants in the indentures for the Senior Notes also restrict Hertz and other members of the Hertz credit group from redeeming stock or making loans, advances, dividends, distributions or other restricted payments to any entity that is not a member of the Hertz credit group, including Hertz Holdings, subject to certain exceptions.

Promissory Notes

        References to our "Promissory Notes" relate to our promissory notes issued under three separate indentures prior to the Sponsor Party Acquisition.


Fleet Debt

        The governing documents of certain of the fleet debt financing arrangements specified below contain covenants that, among other things, significantly limit or restrict (or upon certain circumstances may significantly restrict or prohibit) the ability of the borrowers, and the guarantors if applicable, to make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock, making other distributions, loans or advances) to Hertz Holdings and Hertz, whether directly or indirectly.

Fleet Debt—Other

U.S. Fleet Financing Facility

The U.S. Fleet Financing Facility is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

        The obligations of each of Hertz and PR Cars under the U.S. Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by certain of Hertz's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of PR Cars under the U.S. Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by Hertz. The lenders under the U.S. Fleet Financing Facility have been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and certain contractual rights related to rental vehicles in Kansas, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

        The European Fleet Debt is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand and Luxembourg, and can be expanded to provide fleet financing in Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

        The obligations of HHN BV under the European Fleet Debt are guaranteed by Hertz and certain of Hertz's domestic and foreign subsidiaries.

141


Table of Contents

        The agreements governing the European Revolving Credit Facility and the indenture governing the European Fleet Notes contain covenants that apply to the Hertz credit group similar to those for the Senior Notes. In addition, the agreements and indenture contain a combination of security arrangements, springing covenants and "no liens" covenants intended to give the lenders under the European Fleet Debt enhanced recourse to certain assets of HHN BV and certain foreign subsidiaries of Hertz. The terms of the European Fleet Debt permit HHN BV to incur additional indebtedness that would be pari passu with either the European Revolving Credit Facility or the European Fleet Notes.

        In June 2012, HHN BV amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2013 to June 2015.

        In June 2013, HHN BV amended the European Seasonal Revolving Credit Facility under the European Revolving Credit Facility to create a commitment period running from June 12, 2013 to December 16, 2013 that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of an additional €100.0 million (the equivalent of $127.8 million as of March 31, 2013), subject to borrowing base availability.

European Securitization

        In July 2010, certain foreign subsidiaries entered into a facility agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €400.0 million (the equivalent of $511.2 million as of March 31, 2013) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-backed securitization facility, or the "European Securitization." The European Securitization is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in France and the Netherlands. The lenders under the European Securitization have been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in France and the Netherlands and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles.

        In August 2011, certain foreign subsidiaries extended the expected maturity of our European Securitization to July 2013. In connection with the extension, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. made a number of modifications to the financing arrangement, including increasing the advance rate and decreasing pricing.

        In July 2012, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. amended the European Securitization to extend the maturity from July 2013 to July 2014.

Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization

        In May 2007, certain foreign subsidiaries entered into a facility agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of CAD$225.0 million (the equivalent of $221.4 million as of March 31, 2013) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-backed securitization facility, or as amended, the "Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization." The Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in Canada. The lender under the Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization has been granted an indirect security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in Canada and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles as well as certain other assets owned by entities connected to the financing.

        In November 2011, Hertz's indirect wholly owned subsidiary HC Limited Partnership extended the maturity of the Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization to January 2012 and reduced the facility size to CAD$200.0 million (the equivalent of $196.8 million as of March 31, 2013). In connection with the extension, HC Limited Partnership made a number of modifications to the financing arrangement, including decreasing the pricing.

        In January 2012, HC Limited Partnership amended the Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from January 2012 to March 2012. In March 2012, HC Limited Partnership

142


Table of Contents

amended the Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from March 2012 to May 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the maturity date was extended to June 2013. In the second quarter of 2013, the maturity date was extended to March 2014.

Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization

        In March 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries of Dollar Thrifty entered into a trust indenture that permits the issuance of term and revolving rental car asset-backed securities, the collateral for which consists primarily of the rental car fleet used in Dollar Thrifty's Canadian car rental operations and contractual rights related to such vehicles. These subsidiaries became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hertz when Hertz acquired Dollar Thrifty.

        In March 2012, these subsidiaries issued asset-backed variable funding notes that provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of CAD$150.0 million (the equivalent of $147.6 million as of March 31, 2013) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis, or the "Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization." The expected final maturity of the Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization is August 2014.

Australian Securitization

        In November 2010, certain foreign subsidiaries entered into a facility agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of A$250.0 million (the equivalent of $261.1 million as of March 31, 2013) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-backed securitization facility, or the "Australian Securitization." The Australian Securitization is the primary fleet financing for Hertz's car rental operations in Australia. The lender under the Australian Securitization has been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in Australia and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles. In connection with the issuance of the Australian Securitization, an interest rate cap was purchased by a subsidiary, HA Fleet Pty Limited. Concurrently, Hertz sold an offsetting interest rate cap, thereby neutralizing the hedge on a consolidated basis and reducing the net cost of the hedge.

        In October 2012, Hertz's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary HA Fleet Pty Limited amended the Australian Securitization to extend the expected maturity date thereunder to December 2014. In connection with this transaction, both HA Fleet Pty Limited and Hertz amended the existing interest rate caps, modifying and extending the amortization schedule to the new maturity date of the Australian Securitization.

        See Note 14 to both our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility

        As of December 31, 2012, our Brazilian operating subsidiary is party to certain local financing arrangements, which are collateralized by certain of its assets, which we refer to as the "Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility."

        In June 2012, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2012 to February 2013. In February 2013, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from February 2013 to October 2013.

Capitalized Leases

        References to the "Capitalized Leases" include the capitalized lease financings outstanding in the United Kingdom, or the "U.K. Leveraged Financing," Australia, the Netherlands and the United

143


Table of Contents

States. The amount available under the U.K. Leveraged Financing, which is the largest portion of the Capitalized Leases, as of March 31, 2013 was £165 million (the equivalent of $249.6 million as of March 31, 2013).

        In May 2013, the U.K. Leveraged Financing was amended to create a commitment period running from May 30, 2013 to October 30, 2013 that provides for additional amounts available under the U.K. Leveraged Financing of £25 million (the equivalent of $37.8 million as of March 31, 2013).


Restricted Net Assets

        As a result of the contractual restrictions on Hertz's or its subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends (directly or indirectly) under various terms of our debt, as of March 31, 2013, the restricted net assets of our subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our total consolidated net assets.


Registration Rights

        Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer, Hertz agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to permit either the exchange of such Notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such Notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under the registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by March 2014 or failing to complete the exchange offer by April 2014, would result in Hertz incurring special interest on such Notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any period where any such failure has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%. We do not believe the special interest obligation is probable, and as such, we have not recorded any amounts with respect to this registration payment arrangement.


Financial Covenant Compliance

        Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2013, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

        Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."

        We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.

        We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

        As of March 31, 2013, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.1 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,027.2 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

        Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.

        Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities collectively had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $393.4 million and $440.8 million, respectively, and collectively had total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $392.9 million and $440.3 million, respectively.


Accrued Interest

        As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accrued interest was $118.1 million and $86.4 million, respectively, which is reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" and our audited consolidated balance sheets in "Other accrued liabilities."

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES

General

        The Exchange Notes are to be issued, and the 2018 Notes (as defined below) that are the subject of this exchange offer were issued, as a separate series of "Additional Notes" (apart from the Original Notes, as defined below) under the indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the "Indenture"), among the Company (as successor-in-interest to HDTFS, Inc.), as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms of the Exchange Notes will be, and the terms of the 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer are, governed by the Indenture, as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture thereto, which supplement was entered into among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee in connection with the issuance of the 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer on March 28, 2013.

        The Exchange Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with and will vote as a single class with the 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer and will otherwise be treated as "2018 Notes" for all purposes of the Indenture. The Exchange Notes will be identical to the 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer in all material respects, except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act, will bear a different CUSIP or ISIN number and will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest for failure to observe certain obligations in the registration rights agreement. For purposes of this "Description of the Exchange Notes" section, unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "2018 Notes" has the meaning ascribed to that term under the Indenture, and includes the Exchange Notes and the 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer.

        For purposes of this "Description of the Exchange Notes" section, the term "Notes" has the meaning ascribed to that term under the Indenture, and includes the Original Notes, the 2018 Notes and any other Additional Notes, collectively. In those certain circumstances as provided for under the Indenture, the 2018 Notes will vote and be treated as their own class of notes under the Indenture. Otherwise, the 2018 Notes will vote as a single class (as provided for under the Indenture) with the Company's 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $700,000,000 (the "2020 Notes") and 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 (the "2022 Notes" and, together with the 2020 Notes, the "Original Notes") currently outstanding under the Indenture.

        The Indenture contains provisions that define your rights and govern the obligations of the Company under the 2018 Notes. Copies of the Indenture and forms of the 2018 Notes will be made available to you upon request.

        The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Indenture and the 2018 Notes. It does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions of certain terms therein and those terms to be made a part thereof by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The capitalized terms defined in "—Certain Definitions" below are used in this "Description of the Exchange Notes" section as so defined. Any reference to a "Holder" or a "Noteholder" in this "Description of the Exchange Notes" section refers to the Holders of the Notes. Any reference to "Notes" or a "class" of Notes in this "Description of the Exchange Notes" section refers to the Notes, including the 2018 Notes and the Original Notes, as a single class.

Brief Description of the Notes

        The Notes are:

    unsecured Senior Indebtedness of the Company;

    effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness and other secured obligations of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations, and to all Indebtedness and other obligations (including Trade Payables) of the Company's Subsidiaries (other than Subsidiaries that become Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the provisions described below under "—Subsidiary Guarantees");

    pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company; and

    senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations of the Company.

Brief Description of the Subsidiary Guarantees

        The Subsidiary Guarantees of each Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Notes are:

    unsecured Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

    effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness and other secured obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations, and to all Indebtedness and other obligations (including Trade Payables) of the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than any Subsidiaries that become Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the provisions described below under "—Subsidiary Guarantees");

    pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and

    senior in right of payment to all existing and future Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The 2018 Notes will mature on April 1, 2018. Each 2018 Note bears interest at the rate of 4.250% per annum from March 28, 2013, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for.

        Interest on the 2018 Notes will be payable semiannually in cash to Holders of record thereof at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date, on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2013. Interest will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

        The 2020 Notes and 2022 Notes were issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million and $500 million, respectively. The 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer were issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. Additional securities may be issued under the Indenture in one or more series from time to time ("Additional Notes"), subject to the limitations set forth under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness," which will vote as a single class with the Notes (except as otherwise provided herein) and otherwise be treated as Notes for purposes of the Indenture. The 2018 Notes that are the subject of this exchange offer were issued as Additional Notes under the Indenture. The Indenture permits the Company to designate the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to each series of Additional Notes, which may differ from the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to

147


Table of Contents

the Original Notes or the 2018 Notes. Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate or optional redemption provisions from the Original Notes or the 2018 Notes will constitute a different series of Notes from such Original Notes and 2018 Notes. Additional Notes that have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions as the Original Notes or the 2018 Notes will be treated as the same series as the Original Notes or the 2018 Notes, as applicable, unless otherwise designated by the Company. The Company similarly will be entitled to vary the application of certain other provisions to any series of Additional Notes.

Other Terms

        Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the 2018 Notes will be payable, and the 2018 Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes (which initially shall be the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee), except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated to the Company by the Person entitled thereto or by check mailed to the address of the registered holders of the 2018 Notes as such address appears in the note register required to be kept pursuant to the Indenture (the "Note Register").

        The 2018 Notes were, and will be, issued only in fully registered form, without coupons. The 2018 Notes were, and will be, issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 (the "Minimum Denomination") and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        We may at any time and from time to time purchase 2018 Notes in the open market or otherwise.

Optional Redemption

        The 2018 Notes are redeemable, at the Company's option, at any time prior to maturity at varying redemption prices in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth below.

        At any time and from time to time on or prior to April 1, 2016, the Company at its option may redeem the 2018 Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes of the same series), with funds in an equal aggregate amount (the "Redemption Amount") not exceeding the aggregate proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (as defined below), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of 104.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Date") (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that if the 2018 Notes are redeemed, an aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes equal to at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes (including the principal amount of any Additional Notes of the same series) must remain outstanding immediately after each such redemption of the 2018 Notes.

        "Equity Offering" means a sale of Capital Stock (x) that is a sale of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), or (y) proceeds of which in an amount equal to or exceeding the Redemption Amount are contributed to the equity capital of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

        Such redemption may be made upon notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder's registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (but in no event more than 180 days after the completion of the related Equity Offering). The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the

148


Table of Contents

Company's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the completion of the related Equity Offering.

        At any time prior to maturity, the 2018 Notes may also be redeemed or purchased (by the Company or any other Person) in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at a price (the "Redemption Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Such redemption or purchase may be made upon notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder's registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company's obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such redemption, purchase or notice may, at the Company's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control.

        "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a 2018 Note at any Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such 2018 Note and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such Redemption Date of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such 2018 Note plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such 2018 Note through April 1, 2018 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such 2018 Note on such Redemption Date, as calculated by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

        "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to a Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to April 1, 2018; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to such date is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to such date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

Selection

        In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the applicable series of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate, although no Note of the Minimum Denomination in original principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

Subsidiary Guarantees

        The Company will cause each Domestic Subsidiary that guarantees payment by the Company of any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Facilities to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will

149


Table of Contents

guarantee payment of the Notes, whereupon such Domestic Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under the Indenture. In addition, the Company may cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to so guarantee payment of the Notes and become a Subsidiary Guarantor.

        Each Subsidiary Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, will jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally Guarantee, on an unsecured senior basis, the punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantors being herein called the "Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations"). Such Subsidiary Guarantor will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

        The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount, as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to any Guarantee by it of any Credit Facility Indebtedness), result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

        Each such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be a continuing Guarantee and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all outstanding Notes (whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition) and all other Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing unless earlier terminated as described below, (ii) be binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders and their permitted successors, transferees and assigns.

        Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect, (i) concurrently with any direct or indirect sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any interest therein in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (including the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" and "—Merger and Consolidation") by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) at any time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all of its obligations under all of its Guarantees of payment by the Company of any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Facilities and any Refinancing Credit Facility (it being understood that a release subject to contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Future Subsidiary Guarantors"), (iii) upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, (iv) concurrently with any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (v) at any time after the Termination Date, upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into another Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor with such non-Guarantor being the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to a non-Guarantor Subsidiary, (vi) upon legal or covenant defeasance of the Company's obligations, or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, or (vii) subject to customary contingent reinstatement provisions, upon

150


Table of Contents

payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and all other Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing. In addition, the Company will have the right, upon 30 days' written notice to the Trustee, to cause any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not guaranteed payment by the Company of any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Facilities to be unconditionally released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect. Upon any such occurrence specified in this paragraph, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

        Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any such Subsidiary Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.

Ranking

        The indebtedness evidenced by the 2018 Notes (a) will be unsecured Senior Indebtedness of the Company, (b) will rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and (c) will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations of the Company. The 2018 Notes will also be effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness and other secured obligations of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations, and to all Indebtedness and other obligations (including Trade Payables) of its Subsidiaries (other than any Subsidiaries that become Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the provisions described above under "—Subsidiary Guarantees").

        Each Subsidiary Guarantee (a) will be unsecured Senior Indebtedness of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) will rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Person and (c) will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Person. Such Subsidiary Guarantee will also be effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness and other secured obligations of such Person to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations, and to all Indebtedness and other obligations (including Trade Payables) of the Subsidiaries of such Person (other than any Subsidiaries that become Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the provisions described above under "—Subsidiary Guarantees").

        A substantial part of the operations of the Company is conducted through its Subsidiaries. Claims of creditors of such Subsidiaries, including trade creditors, and claims of preferred shareholders (if any) of such Subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such Subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of the Company, including holders of the 2018 Notes, unless such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor. The 2018 Notes, therefore, will be effectively subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred shareholders (if any) of other Subsidiaries of the Company (other than Subsidiaries that become Subsidiary Guarantors). Certain of the operations of a Subsidiary Guarantor may be conducted through Subsidiaries thereof that are not also Subsidiary Guarantors. Claims of creditors of such Subsidiaries, including trade creditors, and claims of preferred shareholders (if any) of such Subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such Subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of such Subsidiary Guarantor, including claims under its Subsidiary Guarantee. Such Subsidiary Guarantee, if any, therefore, will be effectively subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred shareholders (if any) of such Subsidiaries. Although the Indenture limits the incurrence of Indebtedness (including preferred stock) by certain of the Company's Subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant qualifications.

Change of Control

        Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase Notes pursuant to this covenant in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under "—Optional Redemption."

        The term "Change of Control" means:

    (i)
    any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than one or more Permitted Holders or a Parent, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company, provided that (x) so long as the Company is a Subsidiary of any Parent, no "person" shall be deemed to be or become a "beneficial owner" of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company unless such "person" shall be or become a "beneficial owner" of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such Parent and (y) any Voting Stock of which any Permitted Holder is the "beneficial owner" shall not in any case be included in any Voting Stock of which any such "person" is the "beneficial owner";

    (ii)
    the Company merges or consolidates with or into, or sells or transfers (in one or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, another Person (other than one or more Permitted Holders) and any "person" (as defined in clause (i) above), other than one or more Permitted Holders or any Parent, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as so defined), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or the transferee Person in such sale or transfer of assets, as the case may be, provided that (x) so long as such surviving or transferee Person is a Subsidiary of a parent Person, no "person" shall be deemed to be or become a "beneficial owner" of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such surviving or transferee Person unless such "person" shall be or become a "beneficial owner" of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such parent Person and (y) any Voting Stock of which any Permitted Holder is the "beneficial owner" shall not in any case be included in any Voting Stock of which any such "person" is the beneficial owner; or

    (iii)
    during any period of two consecutive years (during which period the Company has been a party to the Indenture), individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the board of directors of the Company (together with any new members thereof whose election by such board of directors or whose nomination for election by holders of Capital Stock of the Company was approved by one or more Permitted Holders or by a vote of a majority of the members of such board of directors then still in office who were either members thereof at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of such board of directors then in office.

        For the purpose of this definition, the Reorganization Assets (whether individually or in the aggregate) shall not be deemed at any time to constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Reorganization Assets (whether directly or indirectly, whether by sale or transfer of any such assets, or of any Capital Stock or other interest in any Person holding such assets, or of any combination thereof, and whether in one or more transactions, or otherwise) shall not be deemed at any time to constitute a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

152


Table of Contents

        In the event that, at the time of such Change of Control, the terms of any Credit Facility Indebtedness constituting Designated Senior Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this covenant, then prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders provided for in the immediately following paragraph but in any event not later than 30 days following the date the Company obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control (unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as described under "—Optional Redemption"), the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, (i) repay in full all such Credit Facility Indebtedness subject to such terms or offer to repay in full all such Credit Facility Indebtedness and repay the Credit Facility Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing such Credit Facility Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided for in the immediately following paragraph. The Company shall first comply with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence before it shall be required to repurchase Notes pursuant to the provisions described below. The Company's failure to comply with such provisions or the provisions of the immediately following paragraph shall constitute an Event of Default described in clause (iv) and not in clause (ii) under "—Defaults" below.

        Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes as described under "—Optional Redemption," the Company shall, not later than 30 days following the date the Company obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control having occurred, mail a notice (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: (1) that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur and that such Holder has, or upon such occurrence will have, the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); (2) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); (3) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this covenant, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased; and (4) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that such offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control. No Note will be repurchased in part if less than the Minimum Denomination in original principal amount of such Note would be left outstanding.

        The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

        The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

        The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Company and the initial purchasers of the Original Notes. The Company has no present plans to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that the Company could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, the Company could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect the Company's capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on the ability of the Company to Incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness" and "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on

153


Table of Contents

Liens." Such restrictions can only be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

        The occurrence of a Change of Control would constitute a default under each Senior Credit Agreement. Agreements governing other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may contain prohibitions of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require such Indebtedness to be repurchased or repaid upon a Change of Control. The agreements governing Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, including the Senior Credit Agreements, may prohibit the Company from repurchasing the Notes upon a Change of Control unless such Indebtedness has been repurchased or repaid (or an offer made to effect such repurchase or repayment has been made and the Indebtedness of those creditors accepting such offer has been repurchased or repaid) and/or other specified requirements have been met. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes could cause a default under such agreements, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company and its Subsidiaries. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. The provisions under the Indenture relating to the Company's obligation to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. As described above under "—Optional Redemption," the Company also has the right to redeem the Notes at specified prices, in whole or in part, upon a Change of Control or otherwise.

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale or other transfer of "all or substantially all" of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and therefore it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether the Holders of the Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase such Notes.

Certain Covenants

    Termination of Certain Covenants.

        The Indenture contains covenants including, among others, the covenants as described below. If on any day following the Issue Date (a) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the "Termination Date") and continuing at all times thereafter regardless of any subsequent changes in the rating of the Notes, the covenants specifically listed under the following captions in this "Description of the Exchange Notes" section of this prospectus will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries:

    (i)
    "—Limitation on Indebtedness";

    (ii)
    "—Limitation on Restricted Payments";

    (iii)
    "—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries";

    (iv)
    "—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock";

    (v)
    "—Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates";

154


Table of Contents

    (vi)
    "—Future Subsidiary Guarantors"; and

    (vii)
    clause (iii) of the first paragraph of "—Merger and Consolidation".

        Following the Termination Date, the Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless such designation would have complied with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" as if such covenant would have been in effect during such period.

        At any time after the Termination Date, any reference in the definitions of "Permitted Liens" and "Unrestricted Subsidiary" to the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness" or any provision thereof shall be construed as if such covenant were in effect.

        There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

        Limitation on Indebtedness.    The Indenture provides as follows:

    (a)
    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00.

    (b)
    Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following Indebtedness:

    (i)
    Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility (including but not limited to in respect of letters of credit or bankers' acceptances issued or created thereunder) and Indebtedness Incurred other than under any Credit Facility, and (without limiting the foregoing), in each case, any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding in the aggregate the amount equal to (A) $2,250.0 million, plus (B) the greater of (x) $1,600.0 million and (y) an amount equal to (1) the Borrowing Base less (2) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred by Special Purpose Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries and then outstanding pursuant to clause (ix) of this paragraph (b), plus (C) in the event of any refinancing of any such Indebtedness, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;

    (ii)
    Indebtedness (A) of any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or (B) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary to which such Indebtedness is owed, or other event, that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed, in each case, an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted by this clause (ii);

    (iii)
    Indebtedness represented by the Notes (other than any Additional Notes, which include the 2018 Notes), any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clause (ii) above) outstanding on the Effective Date and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (iii) or paragraph (a) above;

    (iv)
    Purchase Money Obligations and Capitalized Lease Obligations, and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto;

      (vi)
      (A) Guarantees by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or any other obligation or liability of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in violation of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness"), or (B) without limiting the covenant described under "—Limitation on Liens," Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary arising by reason of any Lien granted by or applicable to such Person securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in violation of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness");

      (vii)
      Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (A) arising from the honoring of a check, draft or similar instrument of such Person drawn against insufficient funds, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence, or (B) consisting of guarantees, indemnities, obligations in respect of earnouts or other purchase price adjustments, or similar obligations, Incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Person;

      (viii)
      Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of (A) letters of credit, bankers' acceptances or other similar instruments or obligations issued, or relating to liabilities or obligations incurred, in the ordinary course of business (including those issued to governmental entities in connection with self-insurance under applicable workers' compensation statutes), or (B) completion guarantees, surety, judgment, appeal or performance bonds, or other similar bonds, instruments or obligations, provided, or relating to liabilities or obligations incurred, in the ordinary course of business, or (C) Hedging Obligations, entered into for bona fide hedging purposes, or (D) Management Guarantees, or (E) the financing of insurance premiums in the ordinary course of business, or (F) take-or-pay obligations under supply arrangements incurred in the ordinary course of business, or (G) netting, overdraft protection and other arrangements arising under standard business terms of any bank at which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary maintains an overdraft, cash pooling or other similar facility or arrangement or (H) Bank Products Obligations;

      Indebtedness (A) of a Special Purpose Subsidiary secured by a Lien on all or part of the assets disposed of in, or otherwise Incurred in connection with, a Financing Disposition or (B) otherwise Incurred in connection with a Special Purpose Financing; provided that (1) such Indebtedness is not recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Special Purpose Subsidiary (other than with respect to Special Purpose Financing Undertakings), (2) in the event such Indebtedness shall become recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Special Purpose Subsidiary (other than with respect to Special Purpose Financing Undertakings), such Indebtedness will be deemed to be, and must be classified by the Company as, Incurred at such time (or at the time initially Incurred) under one or more of the other provisions of this covenant for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so recourse; and (3) in the event that at any time thereafter such Indebtedness shall comply with the provisions of the preceding subclause (1), the Company may classify such Indebtedness in whole or in part as Incurred under this clause (b)(ix) of this covenant;

156

      (xi)
      Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding an amount equal to (A) the greater of (x) $2,900.0 million and (y) an amount equal to (1) the Foreign Borrowing Base less (2) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred by Special Purpose Subsidiaries that are Foreign Subsidiaries and then outstanding pursuant to clause (ix) of this paragraph (b) plus (B) in the event of any refinancing of any Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (xi), the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;

      (xv)
      Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding an amount equal to 3.25% of Consolidated Tangible Assets.

    (c)
    For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this covenant, (i) any other obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have Incurred such Indebtedness under this covenant) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers' acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers' acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness; (ii) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in paragraph (b) above, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness and may include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the clauses of paragraph (b) above (including in part under one such clause and in part under another such clause) provided that (if the Company shall so determine) any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (b)(xv) of this covenant shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of such clause but shall be deemed Incurred for the purposes of paragraph (a) of this covenant from and after the first date on which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of this covenant without reliance on such clause; (iii) in the event that Indebtedness could be Incurred in part under paragraph (a) above, the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify a portion of such Indebtedness as having been Incurred under paragraph (a) above and thereafter the remainder of such Indebtedness as having been

157


Table of Contents

      Incurred under paragraph (b) above; (iv) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and (v) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of paragraph (b) above shall be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness.

    (d)
    For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving or deferred draw Indebtedness, provided that (x) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Effective Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Effective Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being Incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (z) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to a Senior Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company's option, (i) the Effective Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such Senior Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder, or (iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

        Limitation on Restricted Payments.    The Indenture provides as follows:

    (a)
    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any such payment in connection with any merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party) except (x) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) and (y) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of any such Restricted Subsidiary making such dividend or distribution, to other holders of its Capital Stock on no more than a pro rata basis, measured by value), (ii) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any acquisition of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of options if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price thereof), (iii) voluntarily purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise voluntarily acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Subordinated Obligations (other than a purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the

158


Table of Contents

      date of such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement) or (iv) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person (any such dividend, distribution, purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, other acquisition or retirement or Investment being herein referred to as a "Restricted Payment"), if at the time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment and after giving effect thereto:

      (1)
      a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

      (2)
      the Company could not Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness"; or

      (3)
      the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be as determined in good faith by the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) declared or made subsequent to the Effective Date and then outstanding would exceed, without duplication, the sum of:

      (A)
      50% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) beginning on July 1, 2012 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which consolidated financial statements of the Company are available (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income shall be a negative number, 100% of such negative number);

      (B)
      the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of property or assets received (x) by the Company as capital contributions to the Company after the Issue Date or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) after the Issue Date (other than Excluded Contributions and Contribution Amounts) or (y) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date of Indebtedness that shall have been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or Capital Stock of any Parent, plus the amount of any cash and the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of any property or assets, received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange;

      (C)
      the aggregate amount equal to the net reduction in Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries resulting from (i) dividends, distributions, interest payments, return of capital, repayments of Investments or other transfers of assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from any Unrestricted Subsidiary, including dividends or other distributions related to dividends or other distributions made pursuant to clause (x) of the following paragraph (b), or (ii) the redesignation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (valued in each case as provided in the definition of "Investment"), not to exceed in the case of any such Unrestricted Subsidiary the aggregate amount of Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date;

      (D)
      in the case of any disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment (without duplication of any amount deducted in calculating the amount of Investments at any time outstanding included in the amount of Restricted Payments), an amount in the aggregate equal to the lesser of the return of capital, repayment or other proceeds with respect to all such Investments received by the

159


Table of Contents

          Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and the initial amount of all such Investments constituting Restricted Payments; and

        (E)
        an amount equal to the amount available as of the Issue Date for making Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (a)(3) of Section 4.09 of the 2010 Senior Indenture.

    (b)

        Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.    The Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company, (ii) make any loans or advances to the Company or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company (provided that dividend or liquidation priority between classes of Capital Stock, or subordination of any obligation (including the application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other obligation, will not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction), except any encumbrance or restriction:

    (1)
    pursuant to an agreement or instrument in effect at or entered into on the Effective Date, any Credit Facility, the Indenture or the Notes;

    (2)
    pursuant to any agreement or instrument of a Person, or relating to Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person, which Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or which agreement or instrument is assumed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition from or other transaction with such Person, as in effect at the time of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or transaction (except to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred to finance, or otherwise in connection with, such acquisition, merger, consolidation or transaction); provided that for purposes of this clause (2), if a Person other than the Company is the Successor Company with respect thereto, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the case may be, by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such Successor Company;

    pursuant to an agreement or instrument (a "Refinancing Agreement") effecting a refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred or outstanding pursuant or relating to, or that otherwise extends, renews, refunds, refinances or replaces, any agreement or instrument referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this covenant or this clause (3) (an "Initial Agreement") or that is, or is contained in, any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Initial Agreement or Refinancing Agreement (an "Amendment"); provided, however, that the restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment relates (as determined in good faith by the Company);

    (4)
    (A) pursuant to any agreement or instrument that restricts in a customary manner the assignment or transfer thereof, or the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset subject thereto, (B) by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture, (C) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements to the extent restricting the transfer of the property or assets subject thereto, (D) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,

    (7)
    pursuant to an agreement or instrument (A) relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness" (i) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreements (as determined in good faith by the Company), or (ii) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company's ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (B) relating to any sale of receivables by or Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary, (C) relating to Indebtedness of or a Franchise Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Franchisee or Franchise Special Purpose Entity or to any Franchise Lease Obligation or (D) relating to Indebtedness of or a Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Special Purpose Entity.

        Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.    The Indenture provides as follows:

    (a)

    (i)
    the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition, as such fair market value may be determined (and shall be determined, to the extent such Asset Disposition or any series of related Asset Dispositions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million) in good faith by the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive (including as to the value of all noncash consideration),

163


Table of Contents

      (ii)
      in the case of any Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions) having a fair market value of $25.0 million or more, at least 75% of the consideration therefor (excluding, in the case of an Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions), any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, and

      (iii)
      an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows:

      (A)
      first, either (x) to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Credit Facility Indebtedness, any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor), to prepay, repay or purchase any such Indebtedness or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers' acceptances or other similar instruments) cash collateralize any such Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, (y) to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount equal to Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or, if such investment in Additional Assets is a project authorized by the Board of Directors that will take longer than such 365 days to complete, the period of time necessary to complete such project or (z) in the case of any HERC Offering, to make one or more Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (b)(xiii) of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" above;

      (B)
      second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A) above (such balance, the "Excess Proceeds"), to make an offer to purchase Notes and (to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, or is required by the terms thereof) to purchase, redeem or repay any other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant and subject to the conditions of the Indenture and the agreements governing such other Indebtedness; and

      (C)
      third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of the Indenture) any general corporate purpose (including but not limited to the repurchase, repayment or other acquisition or retirement of any Subordinated Obligations);

      provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A)(x) or (B) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased.

              Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this covenant, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in accordance with this covenant except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions or equivalent amount that is not applied in accordance with this covenant exceeds $50.0 million. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and/or other

164


Table of Contents

      Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary validly tendered and not withdrawn (or otherwise subject to purchase, redemption or repayment) in connection with an offer pursuant to clause (B) above exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Excess Proceeds will be apportioned between such Notes and such other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, with the portion of the Excess Proceeds payable in respect of such Notes to equal the lesser of (x) the Excess Proceeds amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the outstanding principal amount of the relevant other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn.

              For the purposes of clause (ii) of paragraph (a) above, the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Temporary Cash Investments, Investment Grade Securities and Cash Equivalents, (2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock of the Company) or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (4) securities received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days, (5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (6) Additional Assets and (7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause, not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to 1.25% of Consolidated Tangible Assets (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

    (b)
    In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to clause (iii)(B) of paragraph (a) above, the Company will be required to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Notes (the "Offer") at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in the Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer is less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase of Notes, the remaining Net Available Cash will be available to the Company for use in accordance with clause (iii)(B) of paragraph (a) above (to repay other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or clause (iii)(C) of paragraph (a) above. The Company shall not be required to make an Offer for Notes pursuant to this covenant if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in clause (iii)(A) of paragraph (a) above) is less than $50.0 million for any particular Asset Disposition (which lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). No Note will be repurchased in part if less than the Minimum Denomination in original principal amount of such Note would be left outstanding.

    (c)
    The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any

165

      securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

        Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.    The Indenture provides as follows:

    (a)
    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an "Affiliate Transaction") unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors. For purposes of this paragraph, any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in this paragraph if (x) such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or (y) in the event there are no Disinterested Directors, a fairness opinion is provided by a nationally recognized appraisal or investment banking firm with respect to such Affiliate Transaction.

    (b)
    The provisions of the preceding paragraph (a) will not apply to:

    (i)
    any Restricted Payment Transaction,

    (iii)
    any transaction between or among any of the Company, one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or one or more Special Purpose Entities,

    (iv)
    any transaction arising out of agreements or instruments in existence on the Effective Date (other than any Tax Sharing Agreement or Management Agreement referred to in clause (b)(vii) of this covenant), and any payments made pursuant thereto,

    (v)
    any transaction in the ordinary course of business on terms that are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the board of directors or senior management of the Company, or are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company,

        Limitation on Liens.    The Indenture provides that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of any other Person), whether owned on the date of the Indenture or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness (the "Initial Lien"), unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under the Indenture and the Notes or, in respect of Liens on any Restricted Subsidiary's property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) such obligation for so long as such obligation is so secured by such Initial Lien. Any such Lien thereby created in favor of the Notes or any such Subsidiary Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates, (ii) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any such Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or (iii) any sale, exchange or transfer (other than a transfer constituting a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that is governed by the provisions of the covenant described under "—Merger and Consolidation" below) to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Restricted Subsidiary creating such Initial Lien.

        Future Subsidiary Guarantors.    As set forth more particularly under "—Subsidiary Guarantees," the Indenture provides that the Company will cause each Domestic Subsidiary that guarantees payment by the Company of any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Facilities to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes, whereupon such Domestic Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under the Indenture. The Company will also have the right to cause any other Subsidiary to so guarantee payment of the Notes. Subsidiary Guarantees will be subject to release and discharge under certain circumstances prior to payment in full of the Notes. See "—Subsidiary Guarantees."

        SEC Reports.    The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding that the Company may not be required to be or remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC (unless such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act or by the SEC), so long as the Notes are outstanding, the annual reports, information, documents and other reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or would be so required to file if the Company were so subject. The Company will also, within 15 days after the date on which the Company was so required to file or would be so required to file if the Company were so subject, transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register, and to the Trustee (or make available on a Company website) copies of any such information, documents and reports (without exhibits) so required to be filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any audited or reviewed financial statements or information required to be included in any such filing are not reasonably available on a timely basis as a result of the Company's accountants not being "independent" (as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder), the Company may, in lieu of making such filing or transmitting or making available the information, documents and reports so required to be filed, elect to make a filing on an alternative form or transmit or make available unaudited or unreviewed financial statements or information substantially similar to such required audited or reviewed financial statements or information, provided that (a) the Company shall in any event be required to make such filing and so transmit or make available such audited or reviewed financial statements or information no later than the first anniversary of the date on which the same was otherwise required pursuant to the preceding provisions of this paragraph (such initial date, the "Reporting Date") and (b) if the Company makes such an election and such filing has not been made, or such information, documents and reports have not been transmitted or made available, as the case may be, within 90 days after such Reporting Date, liquidated damages will accrue on the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum from the date that is 90 days after such Reporting Date to the earlier of (x) the date on which such filing has been made, or such information, documents and reports have been transmitted or made available, as the case may be, and (y) the first anniversary of such Reporting Date (provided that not more than 0.50% per annum in liquidated damages shall be payable for any period regardless of the number of such elections by the Company). The Company will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this paragraph if any Parent files and provides reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods, and the Company is not required to file such reports, documents and information separately under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (after giving effect to any exemptive relief) because of the filings by such Parent. The Company also will comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a).

Merger and Consolidation

        The Indenture provides that the Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

    (i)
    the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the "Successor Company") will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) will expressly assume all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture or one or more other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

    (ii)
    immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default will have occurred and be continuing;

168

    (iii)
    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (A) the Company (or, if applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness," or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company (or, if applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction;

    (iv)
    each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than (x) any Subsidiary Guarantor that will be released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with such transaction and (y) any party to any such consolidation or merger) shall have delivered a supplemental indenture or other document or instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than any Subsidiary Guarantee that will be discharged or terminated in connection with such transaction); and

    (v)
    the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the provisions described in this paragraph, provided that (x) in giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer's Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) and as to any matters of fact, and (y) no Opinion of Counsel will be required for a consolidation, merger or transfer described in the second to the last paragraph of this covenant.

        The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture, and thereafter the predecessor Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture, except that the predecessor Company in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

        Clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first paragraph of this "Merger and Consolidation" covenant will not apply to any transaction in which the Company consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to (x) an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity or (y) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company so long as all assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof. The first paragraph of this "Merger and Consolidation" covenant will not apply to (1) any transaction in which any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or (2) any of the Transactions.

Defaults

        An Event of Default is defined in the Indenture as:

    (i)
    a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days;

    (ii)
    a default in the payment of principal of any Note when due, whether at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

    (iii)
    the failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Merger and Consolidation" above;

    (iv)
    the failure by the Company to comply for 30 days after notice with any of its obligations under the covenant described under "—Change of Control" above (other than a failure to purchase Notes);

    (v)
    the failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Notes or the Indenture;

    (vi)
    the failure by any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply for 45 days after notice with its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;

    (vii)
    the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, if the total amount of such Indebtedness so unpaid or accelerated exceeds $75.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; provided, that no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to occur with respect to any such Indebtedness that is paid or otherwise acquired or retired (or for which such failure to pay or acceleration is waived or rescinded) within 20 Business Days after such failure to pay or such acceleration (the "cross acceleration provision");

    (viii)
    certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, or of other Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Significant Subsidiaries but would in the aggregate constitute a Significant Subsidiary if considered as a single Person (the "bankruptcy provisions");

    (ix)
    the rendering of any judgment or decree for the payment of money in an amount (net of any insurance or indemnity payments actually received in respect thereof prior to or within 90 days from the entry thereof, or to be received in respect thereof in the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) in excess of $75.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, or jointly and severally against other Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Significant Subsidiaries but would in the aggregate constitute a Significant Subsidiary if considered as a single Person, that is not discharged, or bonded or insured by a third Person, if such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 90 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or stayed (the "judgment default provision"); or

    (x)
    the failure of any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof or of the Indenture) or the denial or disaffirmation in writing by any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of its obligations under the Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee (except as contemplated by the terms of such Subsidiary Guarantee or of the Indenture), if such Default continues for 10 days.

Table of Contents

        The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

        However, a Default under clause (iv), (v) or (vi) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company in writing of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in such clause after receipt of such notice.

        If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, in either case specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a "notice of acceleration" may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon the effectiveness of such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes will ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

        Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

        The Indenture provides that if a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Noteholders. In addition, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default occurring during the previous year. The Company also is required to deliver to the Trustee,

171


Table of Contents

within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event that would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Amendments and Waivers

        Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes); provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under the Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a manner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes, then the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, in each case, consent obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment or waiver may (i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver, (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note, (iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note, (iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note, or change the date on which any Note may be redeemed as described under "—Optional Redemption" above, (v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note, (vi) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder's Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder's Notes, or (vii) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions described in this sentence.

        Without the consent of (or notice to) any Holder, the Company, the Trustee and (as applicable) any Subsidiary Guarantor may amend the Indenture or any Note to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture or any Note, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes, to secure the Notes, to evidence a successor Trustee, to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Guarantee or Lien with respect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination or discharge is provided for under the Indenture or the Notes, to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Noteholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company, to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes, to conform the text of the Indenture (including any supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which Additional Notes are issued), the Notes (including any Additional Notes) or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any provision of the "Description of Notes" section of the October 2012 Offering Memorandum or, with respect to any Additional Notes (including the 2018 Notes) and any supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Additional Notes are issued, to the "Description of Notes" section of the offering memorandum relating to the issuance of such Additional Notes solely to the extent that such "Description of Notes" provides for terms of such Additional Notes that differ from the terms of the Original Notes, as contemplated by "—Principal, Maturity and Interest" above, to increase the minimum denomination of Notes to equal the dollar equivalent of €1,000 rounded up to the nearest $1,000 (including for the purposes of redemption or repurchase of any Note in part), to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or otherwise.

172


Table of Contents

        The consent of the Noteholders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder is a continuing consent by such Noteholder and every subsequent Holder of all or part of the related Note. Any such Noteholder or subsequent Holder may revoke such consent as to its Note by written notice to the Trustee or the Company, received thereby before the date on which the Company certifies to the Trustee that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented to such amendment, supplement or waiver. After an amendment, supplement or waiver that requires consent of Noteholders under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Defeasance

        The Company at any time may terminate all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture ("legal defeasance"), except for certain obligations, including those relating to the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the Notes. The Company at any time may terminate its obligations under certain covenants under the Indenture, including the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants" and "Change of Control," the operation of the default provisions relating to such covenants described under "—Defaults" above, the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Subsidiaries and the judgment default provision described under "—Defaults" above, and the limitations contained in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) under "—Merger and Consolidation" above ("covenant defeasance"). If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.

        The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (iv), (v) (as it relates to the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants" above), (vi), (vii), (viii) (but only with respect to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Subsidiary), (ix) or (x) under "—Defaults" above or because of the failure of the Company to comply with clause (iii), (iv) or (v) under "—Merger and Consolidation" above.

        Either defeasance option may be exercised to any Redemption Date or to the maturity date for the Notes. In order to exercise either defeasance option, the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited in trust (the "defeasance trust") with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be (provided that if such redemption is made pursuant to the provisions described in the fifth paragraph under "—Optional Redemption," (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, as calculated by the Company, and (y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date), and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as

173


Table of Contents

would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel (x) must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable Federal income tax law since the Issue Date and (y) need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or have been or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company).

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The Indenture will be discharged and cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when (i) either (a) all Notes previously authenticated and delivered (other than certain lost, stolen or destroyed Notes, and certain Notes for which provision for payment was previously made and thereafter the funds have been released to the Company) have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all Notes not previously cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (z) have been or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not previously cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), redemption or their Stated Maturity, as the case may be (provided that if such redemption is made pursuant to the provisions described in the fifth paragraph under "—Optional Redemption," (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, as calculated by the Company, and (y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date); (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the Indenture by the Company; and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each to the effect that all conditions precedent under the "Satisfaction and Discharge" section of the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with, provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer's Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)).

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators and Stockholders

        No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary of any thereof shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any such obligation or its creation. Each Noteholder, by accepting the Notes, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

Concerning the Trustee

        Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, is the Trustee under the Indenture and is appointed by the Company as initial registrar and paying agent with regard to the Notes.

174


Table of Contents

        The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are set forth specifically in the Indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it under the Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

        The Indenture and the TIA impose certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, that if it acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee with such conflict, or resign.

Transfer and Exchange

        A Noteholder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the registrar and the Trustee may require such Noteholder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require such Noteholder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or purchase or to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 Business Days prior to the day of the mailing of the notice of redemption or purchase. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange. The Notes will be issued in registered form and the registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes.

Governing Law

        The Indenture provides that it and the Notes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

provided, that (in the event that the Company shall classify Indebtedness Incurred on the date of determination as Incurred in part under paragraph (a) of the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness" and in part under paragraph (b) of such covenant, as provided in paragraph (c)(iii) of such covenant) any such pro forma calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense shall not give effect to any such Incurrence of Indebtedness on the date of determination pursuant to such paragraph (b) or to any Discharge of Indebtedness from the proceeds of any such Incurrence pursuant to such paragraph (b).

FORM, DENOMINATION, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND BOOK-ENTRY PROCEDURES
FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES

        The Exchange Notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without interest coupons, and will be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Exchange Notes will not be issued in bearer form.


The Global Notes

        The Exchange Notes will be issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons (the "Global Notes"). Upon issuance, the Global Notes will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("DTC participants") or persons who hold interests through DTC participants. We expect that under procedures established by DTC:

    upon deposit of each Global Note with DTC's custodian, DTC will credit portions of the principal amount of the Global Note to the accounts of the DTC participants; and

    ownership of beneficial interests in each Global Note will be shown on, and transfer of ownership of those interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC participants) and the records of DTC participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

        Each of Euroclear and Clearstream will appoint a DTC participant to act as its depositary for the interests in each Global Note that is held within DTC for the account of each settlement system on behalf of its participants.

        Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for the Exchange Notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.


Exchanges Among the Global Notes

        Beneficial interests in one Global Note relating to Exchange Notes may, in accordance with the Indenture governing such Exchange Notes, be exchanged for interests in another Global Note relating to the Exchange Notes, if applicable. A beneficial interest in a Global Note relating to the Exchange Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery through another Global Note relating to the Exchange Notes will, upon transfer, become subject to any transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in the other Global Note.


Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes

        All interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. We provide the following summaries of those operations and procedures solely for the convenience of investors. The operations and procedures of each settlement system are controlled by that settlement system and may be changed at any time. Neither we nor the initial purchasers of the Notes are responsible for those operations or procedures.

        DTC has advised us that it is:

    a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;

    a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law;

    a member of the Federal Reserve System;

    a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code; and

    a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

210


Table of Contents

        DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies; clearing corporations; and other organizations. Indirect access to DTC's system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies; these indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not DTC participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC participants or indirect participants in DTC.

        So long as DTC's nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Exchange Notes represented by that Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note:

    will not be entitled to have the Exchange Notes represented by the Global Note registered in their names;

    will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated Exchange Notes; and

    will not be considered the owners or holders of the Exchange Notes under the Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee under such Indenture.

        As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a holder of the Exchange Notes under the Indenture (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).

        Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the Exchange Notes represented by the Global Notes will be made by the Trustee to DTC's nominee as the registered holder of such Global Notes. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to those interests.

        Payments by participants and indirect participants in DTC to the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of those participants or indirect participants and DTC.

        Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way under the rules and operating procedures of those systems.

        Cross-market transfers between DTC participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected within DTC through the DTC participants that are acting as depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream. To deliver or receive an interest in a Global Note held in a Euroclear or Clearstream account, an investor must send transfer instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, under the rules and procedures of that system and within the established deadlines of that system. If the transaction meets its settlement requirements, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will send instructions to its DTC depositary to take action to effect final settlement by delivering or receiving interests in the Global Notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment under normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the DTC depositaries that are acting for Euroclear or Clearstream.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant that has an interest in a Global Note from a DTC participant will be credited on the Business Day (as

211


Table of Contents

defined above in "Description of the Exchange Notes") for Euroclear or Clearstream immediately following the DTC settlement date. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream from an interest in a Global Note to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account as of the Business Day for Euroclear or Clearstream following the DTC settlement date.

        DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the above procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in those settlement systems. However, the settlement systems are not obligated to perform these procedures and may discontinue or change these procedures at any time. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their participants or indirect participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.


Certificated Exchange Notes

        Exchange Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the Exchange Notes only if:

    DTC notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note(s) representing the Exchange Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days;

    DTC ceases to be registered as a "clearing agency" under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days;

    we, at our option, notify the Trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of physical, certificated Exchange Notes; or

    an Event of Default (as described above in "Description of the Exchange Notes") under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Exchange Notes and the Trustee has received a written request from DTC to issue Exchange Notes in certificated form.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer and to the ownership and disposition of the Exchange Notes. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change or to different interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion only addresses tax considerations for beneficial owners that exchange Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer and that hold Notes and Exchange Notes as capital assets. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to specific Holders (as defined below) in light of their particular circumstances or to Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the U.S., partnerships or other pass-through entities (or investors therein), persons that hold the Notes or Exchange Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated transaction, non-U.S. trusts and estates that have U.S. beneficiaries, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, "controlled foreign corporations," or "passive foreign investment companies"). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal tax considerations other than U.S. federal income (and in the case of Non-U.S. Holders, estate) tax considerations (such as gift tax considerations).

        This summary is for general information only and is not tax advice. This summary is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or a court. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any tax opinion from counsel or a ruling from the IRS with respect to any of the statements made in this summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to these statements, or that a contrary position taken by the IRS would not be sustained by a court. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE EXCHANGE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES AND EXCHANGE NOTES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

        As used in this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Note or Exchange Note that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (ii) a corporation (or other entity taxed as a corporation) created or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

        The term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Note or Exchange Note that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder or that is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For purposes of this Material U.S. Federal Tax Considerations section only, the term "Holder" means a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder (as those terms are defined herein).

        If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes invests in a Note or Exchange Note, the tax treatment of a partner will depend in part upon the status and activities of the entity and of the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners relating to the purchase, exchange, ownership and disposition of the Notes and the Exchange Notes.

Table of Contents

        In certain circumstances, we are required to make payments on the Exchange Notes in addition to stated interest and principal. In particular, we are required to pay 101% of the face amount of any Exchange Note purchased by us at the Holder's election after a change of control, as described above under the heading "Description of the Exchange Notes—Change of Control." U.S. Treasury regulations provide special rules for contingent payment debt instruments which, if applicable, could cause the timing, amount and character of a Holder's income, gain or loss with respect to the Exchange Notes to be different from those described below. For purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is a contingent payment debt instrument, remote or incidental contingencies are ignored. We intend to treat the possibility of our making any of the above payments as remote and/or to treat such payments as incidental. Accordingly, we do not intend to treat the Exchange Notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Our position will be binding on all Holders, except a Holder that discloses its differing position in a statement attached to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year during which the Exchange Notes were acquired by such Holder. However, our position is not binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully challenge our position, a Holder might be required to accrue ordinary income on the Exchange Notes in excess of stated interest and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on the taxable disposition of the Exchange Notes before the resolution of the contingencies. In any event, if we actually make any such additional payment, the timing, amount and character of a Holder's income, gain or loss with respect to the Exchange Notes may be affected. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Exchange Notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.


Exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes Pursuant to the Exchange Offer

        The exchange of a Note for an Exchange Note by a Holder pursuant to the exchange offer will not result in a taxable exchange to such Holder and the Notes and Exchange Notes will be treated as the same security for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Exchange Notes will have the same tax attributes as the Notes exchanged therefor, including without limitation, the same issue price, adjusted issue price, adjusted tax basis and holding period.

U.S. Holders

Stated Interest

        In general, stated interest payable on the Notes and Exchange Notes will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income when it is received or accrued, in accordance with such U.S. Holder's method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Market Discount

        If a U.S. Holder acquires a Note or Exchange Note at a cost that is less than its principal amount, the amount of such difference is treated as "market discount" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. U.S. Holders that have market discount on any Notes will carry over that market discount to the Exchange Notes received in the exchange offer and, absent the election discussed below, continue to accrue market discount on the same schedule. Under the market discount rules, a U.S. Holder will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of, an Exchange Note as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. In addition, a U.S. Holder may be required to defer, until the maturity or earlier taxable disposition of an Exchange Note with market discount, the deduction of all or a portion of any interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to acquire or carry such Exchange Note.

        In general, market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the acquisition date to the maturity date of such Exchange Note, unless the U.S. Holder makes an irrevocable election to accrue market discount under a constant yield method. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues (on either a ratable or constant yield

214


Table of Contents

method), in which case the interest deferral rule described above will not apply. This election will apply to all debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder in or after the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors before making this election. Market discount currently included in income will be added to a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Exchange Notes.

Amortizable Bond Premium

        A U.S. Holder whose basis in a Note or Exchange Note immediately after its acquisition by such U.S. Holder exceeds all amounts payable on such Note or Exchange Note after such purchase (other than payments of qualified stated interest) will be considered as having purchased the Note or Exchange Note with "bond premium." U.S. Holders generally may elect to amortize bond premium over the remaining term of the Exchange Note, using a constant yield method, as an offset to interest income. U.S. Holders who acquired Notes with bond premium after the initial issuance will carryover that premium to the Exchange Notes acquired in the exchange offer, and an election with respect to the Notes to amortize bond premium will likewise carryover to the Exchange Notes. An electing U.S. Holder must reduce its tax basis in an Exchange Note by the amount of premium used to offset qualified stated interest income as set forth above. The election to amortize bond premium, once made, will apply to all debt instruments held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. Holder in or after the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors before making this election. If an election to amortize bond premium is not made, a U.S. Holder must include all amounts of taxable interest in income without reduction for such premium, and may receive a tax benefit from the premium only in computing such U.S. Holder's gain or loss upon a taxable disposition of the Exchange Note.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Exchange Notes

        Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount realized on such disposition (i.e., the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received, excluding amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, which will be taxable as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder, to the extent not previously included in income) and (ii) such U.S. Holder's "adjusted tax basis" in such Exchange Note. A U.S. Holder's "adjusted tax basis" in an Exchange Note is generally the amount such U.S. Holder paid for the Note or Exchange Note, increased by the amount of accrued market discount (if current inclusion is elected, as described in more detail above) and decreased by any amortized bond premium and the aggregate amount of payments (other than stated interest) on such Note or Exchange Note to date. Any gain or loss so recognized generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder has held, or is deemed to have held, such Exchange Note for more than one year at the time of such disposition. Net long-term capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. Holders is generally subject to preferential rates of tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Information reporting generally will apply to a U.S. Holder with respect to payments of interest on, or proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of, an Exchange Note, unless such U.S. Holder is an entity that is exempt from information reporting (such as a corporation) and, when required, demonstrates this fact. Any such payments or proceeds to a U.S. Holder that are subject to information reporting generally will also be subject to backup withholding, unless such U.S. Holder provides the appropriate documentation (generally, IRS Form W-9 or suitable substitute form) to the applicable withholding agent certifying that, among other things, its taxpayer identification number (which for an individual would be such individual's Social Security number) is correct, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

215


Table of Contents

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by the U.S. Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.

Recent Legislation Relating to Net Investment Income

        Recently-enacted legislation imposes a 3.8% tax on the "net investment income" of certain U.S. individuals and on the undistributed "net investment income" of certain estates and trusts. Among other items, "net investment income" generally includes payments of interest and certain net gain from the disposition of investment property. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the rules described above.

Non-U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest and Disposition of Notes

        Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding:

    (a)
    payments of interest and premium with respect to an Exchange Note owned by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax; provided that (i) such amounts are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. by such Non-U.S. Holder; (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder does not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote; (iii) such Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 957(a) of the Code that is related to us through stock ownership; (iv) such Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank whose receipt of such amounts is described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and (v) the certification requirements described below are satisfied; and

    (b)
    a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note, unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. by such Non-U.S. Holder or (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain, net of certain U.S.-source losses, generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax, subject to the provisions of any applicable tax treaty).

        The certification requirements referred to in clause (a)(v) above generally will be satisfied if the Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a statement on IRS Form W-8BEN (or suitable substitute form), signed under penalties of perjury, stating, among other things, that such Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person. U.S. Treasury regulations provide additional rules for Exchange Notes held through one or more intermediaries or pass-through entities.

        If the requirements set forth in clause (a) above are not satisfied with respect to a Non-U.S. Holder, amounts treated as payments of interest generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless an applicable tax treaty applies to reduce or eliminate this withholding tax and such Non-U.S. Holder provides the appropriate documentation (generally, IRS Form W-8BEN) to the applicable withholding agent.

        If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S., and if interest on the Exchange Notes or any gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the Exchange Notes are effectively connected with such trade or business, such Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on such amounts; provided that, in the case of interest, such Non-U.S. Holder provides the appropriate documentation

216


Table of Contents

(generally, IRS Form W-8ECI) to the applicable withholding agent. Instead, such Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, on a net income basis, in substantially the same manner as a U.S. Holder (except as provided by an applicable tax treaty). In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be subject to a branch profits tax at the rate of 30% (or a lower rate, if provided by an applicable tax treaty) on its effectively connected income for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Generally, payments of interest on an Exchange Note to a Non-U.S. Holder and the amount of any tax withheld from such payments must be reported annually to the IRS and to such Non-U.S. Holder.

        The information reporting and backup withholding rules that apply to payments of interest to a U.S. Holder generally will not apply to payments of interest to a Non-U.S. Holder if such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8BEN) or otherwise establishes an exemption.

        Proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note by a Non-U.S. Holder effected through a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or of a non-U.S. broker with certain specified U.S. connections may be subject to information reporting, but not backup withholding, unless such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8BEN) or otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note by a Non-U.S. Holder effected through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8BEN) or otherwise establishes an exemption.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by such Non-U.S. Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

        An individual Non-U.S. Holder who, for U.S. federal tax purposes, is not a citizen or resident of the U.S. at the time of such Non-U.S. Holder's death generally will not be subject to U.S. federal estate taxes on any part of the value of an Exchange Note; provided that, at the time of such Non-U.S. Holder's death, (i) such Non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock and (ii) amounts treated as interest earned on the Exchange Note are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. by such Non-U.S. Holder.

Legislation Potentially Affecting Taxation of Exchange Notes Held By or Through Foreign Entities

        In addition to the withholding taxes discussed above, a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% will be imposed on payments to certain foreign entities (including, in some instances, where such an entity is acting as an intermediary) as a result of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code ("FATCA"). If applicable, withholding generally applies to payments of interest after December 31, 2013, and payments of gross disposition proceeds after December 31, 2016. Under final regulations, this legislation generally will not apply to a debt obligation outstanding on January 1, 2014, unless such debt obligation undergoes a "significant modification" (within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code) after such date. It is possible that payments to Non-U.S. Holders on the Exchange Notes will not be subject to such additional withholding under these proposed regulations. Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors concerning the rules in FATCA that may be relevant to their investment in the Exchange Notes.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

        The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the acquisition and holding of the Exchange Notes or the Notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, "Similar Laws"), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a "Plan").


General Fiduciary Matters

        ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an "ERISA Plan") and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

        In considering an investment in the Exchange Notes or the Notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary's duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.


Prohibited Transaction Issues

        Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are "parties in interest," within the meaning of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of the Exchange Notes or the Notes (including the exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes) by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we, a guarantor, or a holder is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or "PTCEs," that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the Exchange Notes or the Notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions with service providers, provided that neither the service provider nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the ERISA Plan pays no more than

218


Table of Contents

adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

        Because of the foregoing, the Exchange Notes or the Notes should not be acquired or held by any person investing "plan assets" of any Plan, unless such acquisition and/or holding (including the exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes) will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.


Representation

        Accordingly, by acceptance of the Exchange Notes or the Notes (including an exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes), each acquirer and subsequent transferee of any of the Exchange Notes or the Notes will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such acquirer or transferee to acquire or hold the Exchange Notes or the Notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Exchange Notes or the Notes by such acquirer or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

        The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering acquiring or holding the Exchange Notes or the Notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to any such acquisition or holding of the Exchange Notes or the Notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must represent that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with the resale of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Notes, where such Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that we will make this prospectus, as amended and/or supplemented, available to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with such resale of Exchange Notes, for a period of up to 90 days after the completion of the exchange offer. In addition, all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any exchange of the Notes for the Exchange Notes by broker-dealers or from any sale of the Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time, in one or more transactions, through the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at prevailing market prices at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or, alternatively, to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells the Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of the Exchange Notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by representing that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period beginning when the Exchange Notes are first issued in the exchange offer and ending up to 90 days after the completion of the exchange offer, we will send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment and/or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer (i) that is entitled to use such documents and (ii) that requests from us such documents for use in such resale period. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers, and will indemnify certain holders of the Notes (including broker-dealers) against certain liabilities.

        We have not sought and do not intend to seek a no-action letter from the SEC with respect to the effects of the exchange offer, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Notes as it has in past no-action letters with respect to similar exchange offers.


LEGAL MATTERS

        The validity of the Exchange Notes and the related guarantees will be passed upon for us by Jenner & Block LLP. Certain matters with respect to Subsidiary Guarantors organized in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Nevada and Oklahoma will be passed upon for us by local counsel in such states.

        The consolidated financial statements of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended appearing in this prospectus and in the registration statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

        The consolidated financial statements of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010 included in this prospectus and in the registration statement have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report. Such financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.


INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

        With respect to the unaudited financial information of The Hertz Corporation and its subsidiaries for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 included in this prospectus, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated May 2, 2013 appearing herein states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.

        With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, included in this prospectus and registration statement, Ernst & Young LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated November 8, 2012 (except for Note 16, as to which the date is June 26, 2013) appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Ernst & Young LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by Ernst & Young LLP, within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholder of The Hertz Corporation:

        We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Hertz Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss) and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

        We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

        Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and in our report dated March 4, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1—Background

        The Hertz Corporation together with its subsidiaries, including Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., or "Dollar Thrifty," are referred to herein as "we," "our" and "us." The Hertz Corporation is referred to herein as "Hertz," 100% of Hertz outstanding capital stock is owned by Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously CCMG Corporation), and 100% of Hertz Investors, Inc.'s capital stock is owned by Hertz Holdings (previously known as CCMG Holdings, Inc.).

        We are a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Ford Motor Company acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985.

        On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:

    Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., which was succeeded by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, or "CD&R,"

    The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and

    Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., or "Merrill Lynch,"

or collectively the "Sponsors," acquired all of our common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of our common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."

        On November 19, 2012, Hertz completed the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, a car and truck rental and leasing business. See Note 5—Business Combinations and Divestitures.

        On December 12, 2012, Hertz completed the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated our Advantage Rent A Car business. See Note 5—Business Combinations and Divestitures.

        In December 2012, the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to J.P. Morgan as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares.

        In March 2013, the Sponsors sold 60,050,777 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. as the underwriters in the registered public offering of those shares. In connection with the offering, Hertz Holdings repurchased from the underwriters 23,200,000 of the 60,050,777 shares of common stock sold by the Sponsors.

        As a result of Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009, March 2011, December 2012 and March 2013, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 12.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

        The significant accounting policies summarized in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

        The December 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP."

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

        Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued Accounting Standards Update, or "ASU," No. 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," or "ASU 2012-02" which states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. This provision is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. This accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

        In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity," or "ASU 2013-05," which permits an entity to release cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held. The revised standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Note 3—Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

        We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        In our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we net cash flows from revolving borrowings in the line item "Proceeds (payments) under the revolving lines of credit, net."

        Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, for our Like-Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with our Fleet Debt facilities was $370.5 million and $494.0 million, respectively. The decrease in restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with our fleet debt of $123.5 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 was primarily related to the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.

        Amortization of other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $30.5 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Based on our amortizable intangible assets as of March 31, 2013, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $90.1 million for the remainder of 2013, $116.3 million in 2014, $113.8 million in 2015, $64.9 million in 2016 and $51.8 million in 2017.

Note 5—Business Combinations and Divestitures

Dollar Thrifty Acquisition

        On November 19, 2012, Hertz Holdings completed the Dollar Thrifty acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement with Dollar Thrifty and a wholly owned Hertz subsidiary, or "Merger Sub." In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub completed a tender offer in which it purchased a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock then outstanding at a price equal to $87.50 per share in cash. Merger Sub subsequently acquired the remaining shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock by means of a short-form merger in which such shares were converted into the right to receive the same $87.50 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. The total purchase price was approximately $2,592.0 million, which comprised of $2,551.0 million of cash, including our use of approximately $404.0 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty , and the fair value of our previously held equity interest in Dollar Thrifty of $41.0 million. As a condition of the Merger Agreement, and pursuant to a divestiture agreement reached with the Federal Trade Commission, or "FTC," Hertz divested its Simply Wheelz subsidiary, which owned and operated the Advantage brand, and secured for the buyer of Advantage certain Dollar Thrifty on-airport car rental concessions. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz.

Note 5—Business Combinations and Divestitures (Continued)

        The purchase price of Dollar Thrifty was funded with (i) cash proceeds of $1,950.0 million received by Hertz from its issuance of $1,950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and Term Loans, (ii) approximately $404.0 million of acquired cash and cash equivalents from Dollar Thrifty, and (iii) the balance funded by Hertz ' s existing cash.

        The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of November 19, 2012. For the preliminary purchase price allocation refer to Note 4 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation have been made to reflect revised estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at November 19, 2012. The revisions primarily related to valuation of certain contracts and accrued liabilities, and the resulting changes to goodwill. Providing for these adjustments in previous periods would not have a material impact on the reported operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 and therefore such amounts have been recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Unaudited pro forma financial information

        The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information as if the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty had occurred on January 1, 2012 for the period presented below (in millions of dollars).

2012 supplemental pro forma from 1/1/12 - 3/31/12 (combined entity)

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of operations of the combined entity nor do they reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results reflect the historical financial information of Hertz Holdings and Dollar Thrifty, adjusted for increases in amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired, additional interest expense associated with the financing relating to the acquisition, elimination of the results of operations of the Advantage business and locations to be divested where Dollar Thrifty operated at least one of its brands prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, and including an estimated amount of leasing revenue to be earned by Hertz from leasing vehicles to the buyer of Advantage.

Other Acquisitions

        During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we re-acquired five domestic car rental locations from our former licensees. These acquisitions are not material to the consolidated amounts presented within our statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Potential Divestiture of Selected Dollar Thrifty Airport Locations

        In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, Hertz agreed to dispose of Advantage, to secure for the buyer of Advantage certain on-airport car rental concessions and related assets at 13 locations where Dollar Thrifty operated at least one of its brands prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, or the "Initial airport locations." Additionally, Hertz agreed to secure for the buyer of Advantage or, in certain cases, one or more other FTC-approved buyers, on-airport car rental concessions at 13 additional locations where Dollar Thrifty operated prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, or the "Secondary airport locations." The buyer of Advantage agreed to assume all of the Secondary airport locations. As of March 31, 2013, Hertz completed the sale of several locations among the Initial airport locations and the Secondary airport locations, and had a remaining loss reserve, including estimated support payments of $22.6 million.

Advantage Divestiture

        On December 12, 2012, Hertz completed the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC, or the "Advantage divestiture," a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated our Advantage Rent A Car business, or "Advantage." As part of the sale agreement, Hertz agreed to sublease vehicles to the buyer of Advantage for use in continuing the operations of Advantage, for a period no longer than two years from the closing date. As such, Hertz will have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed Advantage business. Therefore, the operating results associated with the Advantage business will continue to be classified as part of our continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Note 6—Taxes on Income

        The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 69.2% and (100.9)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2013 is expected to be approximately 40%. The provision for taxes on income of $59.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased from $24.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix and changes in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits are not realized.

Total

  $ 587.0   $ 515.1  
           

        The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, included net losses of $3.3 million and net gains of $34.9 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and gains of $4.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.

        Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net decreases of $0.7 million and $0.2 million in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in an increase of $0.1 million in depreciation expense.

Maturities

        The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31 (in millions of dollars) are as follows:

2014   $ 5,511.2   (including $5,212.0 of other short-term borrowings*)
2015   $ 1,991.1    
2016   $ 1,101.8    
2017   $ 529.2    
2018   $ 248.1    
After 2018   $ 6,480.9    

*
Our short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2013 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, HVF U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, RCFC U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes, Donlen GN II Variable Funding Notes, U.S. Fleet Financing Facility, European Revolving Credit Facility, European Securitization, Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization, Australian Securitization, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility and Capitalized Leases. These amounts are reflected as short-term borrowings, regardless of the facility maturity date, as these facilities are revolving in nature and/or the outstanding borrowings have maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2013, short-term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 1.8%.

        We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.

    Letters of Credit

        As of March 31, 2013, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $669.6 million. Of this amount, $617.6 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2013, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

    2013 Events

        In January 2013, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," an insolvency remote, direct, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, completed the issuance of $950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of three year and five year Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A and Class B. The $282.75 million of three year Class A notes carry a 1.12% coupon, the $42.25 million of three year Class B notes carry a 1.86% coupon, the $543.75 million of five year Class A notes carry a 1.83% coupon, and the $81.25 million of five year Class B notes carry a 2.48% coupon. The three year notes and five year notes have expected final payment dates in August 2016 and August 2018, respectively. The Class B notes are subordinated to the Class A notes.

        The net proceeds from the sale of HVF's Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes will be, to the extent permitted by the applicable agreements, (i) used to pay the purchase price of vehicles acquired by HVF pursuant to HVF's U.S. ABS Program (as defined herein), (ii) used to pay the principal amount of other HVF U.S. ABS Program indebtedness that is then permitted or required to be paid or (iii) released to HVF to be distributed to Hertz or otherwise used by HVF for general purposes.

        In February 2013, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from February 2013 to October 2013.

        In March 2013, Hertz issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Senior Notes due 2018. The proceeds of this March 2013 offering were used by us to replenish a portion of our liquidity, after having dividended $467.2 million in available liquidity to Hertz Holdings, which Hertz Holdings used to repurchase 23,200,000 shares of its common stock in March 2013.

        For subsequent events relating to our indebtedness, see Note 18—Subsequent Events.

Registration Rights

        Pursuant to the terms of the exchange and registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% Senior Notes due 2018 in March 2013, Hertz agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by March 2014 or failing to complete the exchange offer by April 2014, will result in Hertz incurring special interest on such notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any period where any such failure has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%.

Guarantees and Security

        In February 2013 and March 2013, we added Dollar Thrifty and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors under certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities. There have been no material changes to the guarantees and security provisions of the debt instruments and credit facilities under which our indebtedness as of March 31, 2013 has been issued from the terms as disclosed in the notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Financial Covenant Compliance

        Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2013, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

        Our borrowing capacity and availability primarily comes from our "revolving credit facilities," which are a combination of asset-backed securitization facilities and asset-based revolving credit facilities. Creditors under each of our revolving credit facilities have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."

        We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.

        We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

        As of March 31, 2013, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $0.1 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,027.2 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

        Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.

        Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which Hertz is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31,2013 and December 31, 2012, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities collectively had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $393.4 million and $440.8 million, respectively, and collectively had total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $392.9 million and $440.3 million, respectively.

Note 9—Employee Retirement Benefits (Continued)

        Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we contributed $3.7 million to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $3.0 million to our United Kingdom, or "U.K.," defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we contributed $20.3 million to our worldwide pension plans, including discretionary contributions of $3.2 million to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans. The level of future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

        We also sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with participants' contributions adjusted annually. An unfunded liability is recorded. We also have a key officer postretirement car benefit plan that provides the use of a vehicle from our fleet and insurance for the participants' benefit for retired Executive Vice Presidents and above who have a minimum of 20 years of service and who retire at age 58 or above. The assigned car benefit is available for 15 years post-retirement or until the participant reaches the age of 80, whichever occurs last.

        We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. At least one multiemployer plan in which we participate is reported to have, and other of our multiemployer plans could have, significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding may increase in the event other employers become insolvent or withdraw from the applicable plan or upon the inability or failure of withdrawing employers to pay their withdrawal liability. In addition, such underfunding may increase as a result of lower than expected returns on pension fund assets or other funding deficiencies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        During 2012, Hertz completely withdrew employees from an existing multi-employer pension plan with the Central States Pension Fund, or the "Pension Fund," and entered into a new agreement with the Pension Fund. In connection with the complete withdrawal from the Pension Fund, Hertz was subject to a withdrawal liability of approximately $23.2 million, which was paid in December 2012.

Note 10—Stock-Based Compensation

        In February 2013, Hertz Holdings granted 5,247 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," and 1,707,458 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," to certain executives and employees at a fair value of $19.95, under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan." Of the total PSUs awarded 1,136,724 PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will vary from 0% to 150% of the original grant, based on 2013 and combined 2013-2014 Corporate EBITDA results. "EBITDA" means consolidated net income before net interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation (which includes revenue

earning equipment lease charges) and amortization and "Corporate EBITDA," represents EBITDA as adjusted for car rental fleet interest, car rental fleet depreciation and certain other items, as provided in the applicable award agreements. These PSU awards vest evenly over a three year vesting period. Of the total PSUs awarded, 490,632 PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will either be 0% to 100% of the original grant. Award of this grant is contingent upon final 2013 Corporate EBITDA Margin exceeding a minimum level. "Corporate EBITDA Margin" means Corporate EBITDA as a percentage of Consolidated Revenue. These PSU awards vest evenly over a three year vesting period. Of the total PSUs awarded, 83,567 PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will either be 0% to 100% of the original grant. Award of this grant is contingent upon final 2013 Corporate EBITDA Margin exceeding a minimum level. These PSU awards vest evenly over a two year vesting period. The RSUs awarded have a two year cliff vesting period.

        The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Prior Plans (as defined below) and the Omnibus Plan is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

        A summary of the total compensation expense and associated income tax benefits recognized under our Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Prior Plans," and the Omnibus Plan, including the cost of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, is as follows (in millions of dollars):

Total

  $ 4.9   $ 4.6  
           

        As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $64.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted by Hertz Holdings under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan. The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 2.3 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Note 11—Segment Information

        Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction, material handling and other equipment, or "equipment rental." Other reconciling items include general corporate assets and expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities. Donlen is included in the car rental reportable segment.

Note 11—Segment Information (Continued)

        Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization and write-off of debt financing costs and debt discounts and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income is important to management because it allows management to assess operational performance of our business, exclusive of the items mentioned above. It also allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows them to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. The contribution of our reportable segments to revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and the reconciliation to consolidated amounts are summarized below (in millions of dollars).

        Total assets increased $797.1 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.

Note 13—Restructuring

        As part of our ongoing effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we have evaluated our workforce and operations and made adjustments, including headcount reductions and business process reengineering resulting in optimized work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlined our back-office operations and evaluated potential outsourcing opportunities. When we made adjustments to our workforce and operations, we incurred incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increased operating efficiency and reduced costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

        During 2007 through 2012, we announced several initiatives to improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions. These initiatives included, but were not limited to, job reductions at our corporate headquarters and back-office operations in the U.S. and Europe. As part of our re-engineering optimization we outsourced selected functions globally. In addition, we streamlined operations and reduced costs by initiating the closure of targeted car rental locations and equipment rental branches throughout the world. The largest of these closures occurred in 2008 which resulted in closures of approximately 250 off-airport locations and 22 branches in our U.S. equipment rental business. These initiatives impacted approximately 9,610 employees.

        During the first quarter of 2013, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of several car rental and equipment rental locations globally as well as a reduction in our workforce by approximately 50 employees.

        From January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2013, we incurred $572.1 million ($285.8 million for our car rental segment, $230.8 million for our equipment rental segment and $55.5 million of other) of restructuring charges.

        Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed; however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

Note 14—Financial Instruments

Gasoline Swap Contracts

        We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates and maintain a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. We currently have in place swaps to cover a portion of our fuel price exposure through July 2014. We presently hedge a portion of our overall unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel purchases with commodity swaps and have contracts in place that settle on a monthly basis. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these commodity instruments are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

Interest Rate Cap Contracts

        Hertz is exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, and has purchased and sold interest rate cap agreements to manage that risk. Consequently, we manage the financial exposure as part of our risk management program by striving to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the financial markets may have on our operating results. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate caps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

        We manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations.

Foreign Exchange Options

        We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option ' s counterparty.

Fair value measures

        Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

        The accounting guidance for fair value measurements also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument ' s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

            Level 1:    Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.

            Level 2:    Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or

    model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

            Level 3:    Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs). The aggregate fair value of all debt at March 31, 2013 was $16,413.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $15,862.3 million. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2012 was $15,529.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $14,999.1 million.

Note 15—Related Party Transactions

Relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors

        Other than as disclosed below, in the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were no material changes to our relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. or the Sponsors.

        In March 2013, the Sponsors sold 60,050,777 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. as the underwriters in the registered public offering of those shares. In connection with the offering, Hertz Holdings repurchased from the underwriters 23,200,000 of the 60,050,777 shares of common stock sold by the Sponsors.

        As a result of our initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009, March 2011, December 2012 and March 2013, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 12.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Financing Arrangements with Related Parties

        As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $192.8 million and $189.8 million, respectively, of our outstanding debt was with related parties.

        For information on our total indebtedness, see Note 8—Debt.

Note 16—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

        As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding.

Indemnification Obligations

        In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are

F-34

Note 16—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments (Continued)

probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

        We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and we will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors.

Environmental

        We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Legal Proceedings

        From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings. We are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on our balance sheet, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on

actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and costs. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 our liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $321.0 million and $332.2 million, respectively. We believe that our analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that we may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. We note the liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

        For a detailed description of certain of our legal proceedings please see Note 12 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        The following recent developments pertaining to legal proceedings described in the notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus are furnished on a supplemental basis:

        In Davis Landscape, Ltd. et al. v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, the parties executed a settlement agreement in March 2013 and thereafter sought preliminary approval from the court of the proposed class settlement. The court has now tentatively approved the proposed class settlement, approved the parties' notice plan and has set June 18, 2013 as the date for the final approval hearing. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost, which is not material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company , was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Enterprise is now a defendant in a separate action and is no longer a defendant in the Sobel case. The Sobel case purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges. In the complaint, the plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz from quoting or charging those airport fees that are alleged not to be allowed by Nevada law. The complaint also seeks attorneys' fees and costs. In 2010, the parties engaged in mediation which resulted in a proposed settlement. Although the court tentatively approved the settlement in November 2010, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the proposed settlement in May 2011. Following additional activity in the case, in March 2013, the court granted, in part, the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment with respect to restitution and granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification, while denying the Company's motion for partial summary judgment. The court further indicated that plaintiffs are entitled to prejudgment interest from the date of the plaintiffs' first amended complaint. A judgment has not yet been entered in the case, and there are expected to be further proceedings before the district court. The amount of a judgment could potentially exceed $40.0 million. The Company intends to appeal or seek other appropriate relief and believes that the court's liability, damages and class certification findings will be reversed. We continue to believe the outcome of this case will not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

        Aside from the above mentioned, none of the other legal proceedings described in the notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus have experienced any material changes.

        In addition to the above mentioned and those described in the notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus or in our filings with SEC, various other legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Other than with respect to the aggregate claims for public liability and property damage pending against us, management, based on the advice of legal counsel, does not believe that any of the matters resolved, or pending against us, are material to us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole.

        We have established reserves for matters where we believe that the losses are probable and reasonably estimated. Other than with respect to the aggregate reserve established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters where we have not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed in the notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus or in our filings with SEC, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Note 17—Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

        The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, of (a) The Hertz Corporation, ("the Company" or "the Parent"); (b) the Parent's subsidiaries that guarantee the Parent's indebtedness, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries; (c) the Parent's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Parent's indebtedness, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; and of (e) the Company on a consolidated basis.

        In February 2013 and March 2013, we added Dollar Thrifty and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors under certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities. The following condensed consolidating financial statements now reflects the results of this change for all periods presented.

        Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been provided, as the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Credit Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

Note 18—Subsequent Events

        In April 2013, Hertz entered into an Amendment No. 2, or "Amendment No. 2," to the Senior Term Facility, primarily to reduce the interest rate applicable to a portion of the outstanding term loans under the Senior Term Facility. Prior to Amendment No. 2, approximately $1,372.0 million of tranche B term loans, or "Tranche B Term Loans," under the Senior Term Facility bore interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz's option, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate not less than 1.00 percent plus a borrowing margin of 2.75 percent per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.75 percent per annum. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, certain of the existing lenders under the Senior Term Facility converted their existing Tranche B Term Loans into a new tranche of tranche B-2 term loans, or the "Tranche B-2 Term Loans," in an aggregate principal amount, along with new loans advanced by certain new lenders, of approximately $1,372.0 million. The proceeds of Tranche B-2 Term Loans advanced by the new lenders were used to prepay in full all of the Tranche B Term Loans that were not converted into Tranche B-2 Term Loans.

        The Tranche B-2 Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at Hertz's option, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate not less than 0.75 percent plus a borrowing margin of 2.25 percent per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 1.25 percent per annum. The terms and conditions of the new Tranche B-2 Term Loans with respect to maturity, collateral, and covenants are otherwise unchanged compared to the Tranche B Term Loans.

        On April 15, 2013, Hertz entered into definitive agreements with China Auto Rental Holdings, Inc., or "China Auto," and related parties pursuant to which Hertz made a strategic investment in China Auto. China Auto is the largest car rental company in China. Pursuant to the transaction, Hertz invested cash and certain of its assets in China and received common stock and convertible notes in return. Upon the closing of the transaction which occurred on April 30, 2013, Hertz owns 10% of China Auto's ordinary shares and has a seat on China Auto's Board. Upon conversion of the notes, Hertz would have 18.64% on a fully diluted basis. This transaction will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder
of The Hertz Corporation:

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Hertz Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page 69 of this prospectus. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

        As described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page 69 of this prospectus, management has excluded Dollar Thrifty from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business acquisition during November 2012. We have also excluded Dollar Thrifty from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Dollar Thrifty is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent approximately 21% and 2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Background

        The Hertz Corporation together with its subsidiaries are referred to herein as "we," "our" and "us." The Hertz Corporation is referred to herein as "Hertz," 100% of Hertz outstanding capital stock is owned by Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously CCMG Corporation), and 100% of Hertz Investors, Inc.'s capital stock is owned by Hertz Holdings (previously known as CCMG Holdings, Inc.).

        We are a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Ford Motor Company acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired our outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985.

        On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:

    Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., which was succeeded by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, or "CD&R,"

    The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and

    Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., or "Merrill Lynch,"

or collectively the "Sponsors," acquired all of our common stock from Ford Holdings LLC. We refer to the acquisition of all of our common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."

        In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation, or "Bank of America," acquired Merrill Lynch. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of Hertz Holdings' common stock held by Merrill Lynch and certain other investment funds and affiliates of Merrill Lynch.

        On September 1, 2011, Hertz completed the acquisition of Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen," a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services. See Note 4—Business Combinations and Divestitures.

        In December 2011, Hertz purchased the noncontrolling interest of Navigation Solutions, L.L.C., thereby increasing its ownership interest from 65% to 100%.

        On November 19, 2012, Hertz completed the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., or "Dollar Thrifty," a car and truck rental and leasing business. See Note 4—Business Combinations and Divestitures.

        On December 12, 2012, Hertz completed the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated our Advantage Rent A Car business. See Note 4—Business Combinations and Divestitures.

        In December 2012, the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to J.P. Morgan as the sole underwriter in the registered public offering of those shares.

        As a result of Hertz Holdings' initial public offering in November 2006 and subsequent offerings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009, March 2011 and December 2012, the Sponsors reduced their holdings to approximately 26% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hertz Holdings and our wholly owned and majority owned domestic and international subsidiaries. In the event that Hertz Holdings is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity will be included in our consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP," requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include depreciation of revenue earning equipment, reserves for litigation and other contingencies, accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions, pension and postretirement benefit costs, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill, valuation of stock based compensation, public liability and property damage reserves, reserves for restructuring, allowance for doubtful accounts, and fair value of derivatives, among others.

Reclassifications

        Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Acquisition Accounting

        We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires an allocation of the purchase price of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

Revenue Recognition

        Rental and rental related revenue (including cost reimbursements from customers where we consider ourselves to be the principal versus an agent) are recognized over the period the revenue earning equipment is rented or leased based on the terms of the rental or leasing contract. Maintenance management administrative fees are recognized monthly and maintenance management service revenue is recognized when services are performed. Revenue related to new equipment sales and consumables is recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Fees from our licensees are recognized over the period the underlying licensees' revenue is earned (over the period the licensees' revenue earning equipment is rented). Certain truck and equipment leases are originated with the intention of syndicating to banks, and upon the sale of rights to these direct financing leases, the net gain is recorded in revenue.

        Sales tax amounts collected from customers have been recorded on a net basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Other

        We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

        In our consolidated statements of cash flows, we net cash flows from revolving borrowings in the line item "Proceeds (payments) under the revolving lines of credit, net." The contractual maturities of such borrowings may exceed 90 days in certain cases.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, for our Like-Kind Exchange Program, or "LKE Program," and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. These funds are primarily held in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in various investment grade institutional money market accounts and bank term deposits. Deposits held at banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. We seek to mitigate such risks by spreading the risk across multiple counterparties and monitoring the risk profiles of these counterparties. In addition, we have credit risk from derivative financial instruments used in hedging activities. We limit our exposure relating to derivative financial instruments by diversifying the financial instruments among various counterparties, which consist of major financial institutions.

Receivables

        Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and represent credit extended to manufacturers and customers that satisfy defined credit criteria. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our historical experience and our judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Actual receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when we determine the balance will not be collected. Bad debt expense is reflected as a component of "Selling, general and administrative" in our consolidated statements of operations.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or leases, whichever is shorter. Useful lives are as follows:

Buildings

  3 to 50 years

Furniture and fixtures

  1 to 15 years

Capitalized internal use software

  1 to 15 years

Service cars and service equipment

  1 to 13 years

Other intangible assets

  3 to 20 years

Leasehold improvements

  The shorter of their economic lives or the lease term

        We follow the practice of charging maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, to maintenance expense accounts. Costs of major replacements of units of property are capitalized to property and equipment accounts and depreciated on the basis indicated above. Gains and losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in income as realized. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, gains from the dispositions of property and equipment of $6.3 million and $43.1 million, respectively, were included in "Direct operating" in our consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Earning Equipment

        Revenue earning equipment is stated at cost, net of related discounts. Useful lives are as follows:

Cars

  4 to 28 months

Other equipment

  24 to 108 months

        Generally, when revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period that we will hold the asset, primarily based on historical measures of the amount of rental activity (e.g., automobile mileage and equipment usage) and the targeted age of equipment at the time of disposal. We also estimate the residual value of the applicable revenue earning equipment at the expected time of disposal. The residual values for rental vehicles are affected by many factors, including make, model and options, age, physical condition, mileage, sale location, time of the year and channel of disposition (e.g., auction, retail, dealer direct). The residual value for rental equipment is affected by factors which include equipment age and amount of usage. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period. Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's ongoing assessment of present and estimated future market conditions, their effect on residual values at the time of disposal and the estimated holding periods. Market conditions for used vehicle and equipment sales can also be affected by external factors such as the economy, natural disasters, fuel prices and incentives offered by manufacturers of new cars. These key factors are considered when estimating future residual values and assessing depreciation rates. As a result of this ongoing assessment, we make periodic adjustments to depreciation rates of revenue earning equipment in response to changed market conditions. Upon disposal of revenue earning equipment, depreciation expense is adjusted for the difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Within Donlen, revenue earning equipment is under longer term lease agreements with our customers. These leases contain provisions whereby we have a contracted residual value guaranteed to us by the lessee, such that we do not experience any gains or losses on the disposal of these vehicles. Therefore depreciation rates on these vehicles are not adjusted at any point in time per the associated lease contract.

Environmental Liabilities

        The use of automobiles and other vehicles is subject to various governmental controls designed to limit environmental damage, including that caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these controls are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional equipment failure requiring repair by us. To comply with environmental regulations, measures are taken at certain locations to reduce the loss of vapor during the fueling process and to maintain, upgrade and replace underground fuel storage tanks. We also incur and provide for expenses for the cleanup of petroleum discharges and other alleged violations of environmental laws arising from the disposition of waste products. We do not believe that we will be required to make any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or to make any other material expenditures to meet the requirements of governmental authorities in this area. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded at undiscounted amounts when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Public Liability and Property Damage

        The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance-related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Pension Benefit Obligations

        Our employee pension costs and obligations are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

        Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the

F-58

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $102.7 million and $91.3 million, respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.

Derivative Instruments

        We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, gasoline and diesel fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. We account for all derivatives in accordance with GAAP, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item, based upon the nature of the hedged item. For derivative instruments that are not part of a qualified hedging relationship, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in earnings. See Note 14—Financial Instruments.

Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Subsequent changes to enacted tax rates and changes to the global mix of earnings will result in changes to the tax rates used to calculate deferred taxes and any related valuation allowances. Provisions are not made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes. Future distributions, if any, from these international subsidiaries to the United States or changes in U.S. tax rules may require a change to reflect tax on these amounts. See Note 9—Taxes on Income.

Advertising

        Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed the first time the advertising or sales promotion takes place. Advertising costs are reflected as a component of "Selling, general and administrative" in our consolidated statements of operations and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $158.0 million, $145.8 million and $133.8 million, respectively.

Goodwill

        Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," Accounting Standards Codification, or "ASC,"

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Topic 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other," or "ASC 350," at the reporting unit level which is one level below our operating segments. The assessment of goodwill impairment is conducted by estimating and comparing the fair value of our reporting units, as defined in ASC 350, to their carrying value as of that date. The fair value is estimated using an income approach whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the future cash flows that each reporting unit's assets can be expected to generate. Future cash flows are based on forward-looking information regarding market share and costs for each reporting unit and are discounted using an appropriate discount rate. Future discounted cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or market conditions or the rate and extent to which anticipated synergies or cost savings are realized with newly acquired entities. The test for impairment is conducted annually each October 1st, and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount.

Intangible and Long-lived Assets

        Intangible assets include concession agreements, technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade-names and other intangibles. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to fifteen years. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," or "ASC 360." Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually each October 1st and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate an asset may be impaired.

Stock-Based Compensation

        We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We have estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. See Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation.

        We are using equity accounting for restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards. For restricted stock units the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock and the number of shares that vest, recognized over the service period. For performance stock units the expense is based on the grant-date fair value of the stock, recognized over a two to four year service period depending upon a performance condition. For performance stock units, we re-assess the probability of achieving the applicable performance condition each reporting period and adjust the recognition of expense accordingly. The performance condition is not considered in determining the grant date fair value.

Franchise Revenues and Transactions

        "Franchise revenues" includes franchise fees for use of our brands and services. Generally franchise fees from franchised locations are based on a percentage of net sales of the franchised business and are recognized as earned and when collectability is reasonably assured.

        Initial franchise fees are recorded as deferred income when received and are recognized as revenue when all material services and conditions related to the franchise fee have been substantially performed.

        Renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue when the license agreements are effective and collectability is reasonably assured.

        Other (income) expense, net includes the gains or losses from the sales of our operations or assets to new and existing franchisees. Such gains or losses are included in operating income because they are expected to be a recurring part of our business.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or "ASU," No. 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," or "ASU 2011-11" to amend the requirement for an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. We plan to adopt ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013, as required, but do not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

        In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," or "ASU 2012-02" which states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. This provision is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. This accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

        In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," or "ASU 2013-02" which requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Note 3—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        We account for our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350. Under ASC 350, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. The cash flows represent management's most recent planning assumptions. These assumptions are based on a combination of industry outlooks, views on general economic conditions, our expected pricing plans and expected future savings generated by our ongoing restructuring activities. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. Those intangible assets considered to have indefinite useful lives, including our trade name, are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the intangible assets to their carrying value. In addition, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangible assets might not be recoverable, we will perform an impairment review. We estimate the fair value of our indefinite lived intangible assets using the relief from royalty method. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10, "Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

        At October 1, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and determined that the respective book values of our reporting units did not exceed their estimated fair values and therefore no impairment existed for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Other amortizable intangible assets primarily consisted of our Advantage trade name and concession rights, Donlen trade name, reacquired franchise rights, non-compete agreements and technology-related intangibles.

(3)
Other indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of reacquired franchise rights.

        Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired.

        Generally, our trademarks and trade names are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. Consequently, these assets were classified as indefinite-lived intangibles and accordingly are not amortized but reviewed for impairment annually, or sooner under certain circumstances. Prior to the goodwill testing discussed above, we tested our intangible assets with indefinite lives. The test for impairment requires us to compare the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets to the carrying value of those assets. In situations where the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized. We estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets using an income approach; specifically, based on discounted cash flows.

December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010

        At October 1, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we performed our annual test of recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets. We determined that the respective book values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their estimated fair values and therefore no impairment existed.

        Amortization of other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $84.1 million, $70.0 million and $64.7 million, respectively. Based on our amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2012, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $120.5 million in 2013, $116.1 million in 2014, $113.7 million in 2015, $64.8 million in 2016 and $51.8 million in 2017.

Note 4—Business Combinations and Divestitures

Dollar Thrifty Acquisition

        On November 19, 2012, Hertz Holdings completed the Dollar Thrifty acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement with Dollar Thrifty and Merger Sub, a wholly owned Hertz subsidiary. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub completed a tender offer in which it purchased a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock then outstanding at a price equal to $87.50 per share in cash. Merger Sub subsequently acquired the remaining shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock by means of a short-form merger in which such shares were converted into the right to receive the same $87.50 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. The total purchase price was approximately $2,592.0 million, which comprised of $2,551.0 million of cash, including our use of approximately $404.0 million of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty, and the fair value of our previously held equity interest in Dollar Thrifty of $41.0 million. As a result of re-measuring to fair value our equity interest previously held in Dollar Thrifty immediately before the acquisition date, we recognized a gain of approximately $8.4 million in our consolidated statements of operations within "Other (income) expense, net." As a condition of the Merger Agreement, and pursuant to a divestiture agreement reached with the Federal Trade Commission, Hertz divested its Simply Wheelz subsidiary, which owned and operated the Advantage brand, and secured for the buyer of Advantage certain Dollar Thrifty on-airport car rental concessions. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz.

        The purchase price of Dollar Thrifty was funded with (i) cash proceeds of $1,950.0 million received by Hertz from its issuance of $1,950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and Term Loans, (ii) approximately $404.0 million of acquired cash and cash equivalents from Dollar Thrifty, and (iii) the balance funded by Hertz's existing cash.

        The Dollar Thrifty acquisition has been accounted for utilizing the acquisition method, which requires an allocation of the purchase price of the acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values from a market-participant perspective at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price as reflected within these consolidated financial statements is based on the best information available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were issued and is preliminary pending the completion of the final valuation analysis of the Dollar Thrifty assets and liabilities. In particular, the valuation of income taxes, certain property and equipment and lease and other contracts acquired as of the acquisition date, have not been finalized. During the measurement period (which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date), we will be required to retrospectively adjust the preliminary amounts recognized to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Further, during the measurement period, we are also required to recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date.

        The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using the income, cost and market approaches. The fair values of acquired trade names and concession agreements were estimated using the income approach which values the subject asset using the projected cash flows to be generated by the asset, discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time value of money. The cost approach was utilized in combination with the market approach to estimate the fair values of property, plant and equipment

and reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement costs for the assets, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. The cost approach was utilized in combination with the market approach to estimate the fair values of most working capital accounts.

        The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition date (in millions):

Debt

    (1,484.0 )
       

Total

  $ 2,592.0  
       

        The identifiable intangible assets of $1,546.0 million consist of $1,140.0 million of trade names with an indefinite life and $406.0 million of concession agreements. The concession agreements will be amortized over their expected useful lives of nine years on a straight-line basis.

        The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $885.0 million which is attributable to the synergies and economies of scale provided to a market participant. The goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes. All such goodwill is reported in the car rental segment.

Donlen Acquisition

        On September 1, 2011, Hertz acquired 100% of the equity of Donlen, a leading provider of fleet leasing and management services. Donlen provides Hertz an immediate leadership position in long-term car, truck and equipment leasing and fleet management, which enables us to present our customers a complete portfolio of transportation solutions and the enhanced ability to cross sell to each others' customer base. This transaction is part of the overall growth strategy of Hertz to provide the most flexible transportation programs for corporate and general consumers. Additionally, Donlen brings to Hertz a specialized consulting and technology expertise that will enable us to model, measure and manage fleet performance more effectively and efficiently. The combination of the strategic fit and expected fleet synergies described above are the primary drivers behind the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. All such goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is reported in the car rental segment.

        The Donlen equity valuation for the transaction was estimated at $250.0 million, subject to adjustment based on the net assets of Donlen at closing. The preliminary purchase price adjustment at closing resulted in a downward adjustment of $2.4 million. The final purchase price adjustment, based on the final Donlen closing date balance sheet, resulted in an upward adjustment of $2.4 million (resulting in a final closing cash payment of $250.0 million). None of the goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

    Including an estimated amount of leasing revenue to be earned by Hertz from leasing vehicles to the buyer of Advantage. The depreciation and other expenses associated with the vehicles being leased to the buyer of Advantage have not been eliminated from the pro forma financial statements, as their costs remain as part of Hertz's ongoing operations associated with owning such vehicles.

        All of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact. Hertz has generally assumed a 39% tax rate when estimating the tax impacts of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, representing the statutory tax rate for Hertz. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-Dollar Thrifty acquisition activities, cash needs and the geographical location of businesses.

Pro forma adjustments—Donlen acquisition

        2011 supplemental pro forma revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 excludes $3.2 million related to deferred revenue which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2011 supplemental pro forma earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011 excludes $2.0 million related to deferred income which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting, and $6.1 million of acquisition related costs incurred in 2011.

        2010 supplemental pro forma revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 excludes $8.7 million related to deferred revenue which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting. 2010 supplemental pro forma earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010 excludes $5.3 million related to deferred income which was eliminated as part of acquisition accounting, and includes $6.1 million of acquisition related costs incurred.

Potential Divestiture of Selected Dollar Thrifty Airport Locations

        In order to obtain regulatory approval and clearance for the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, Hertz agreed to dispose of Advantage, to secure for the buyer of Advantage certain on-airport car rental concessions and related assets at 13 locations where Dollar Thrifty operated at least one of its brands prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, or the "Initial airport locations." Additionally, Hertz agreed to secure for the buyer of Advantage or, in certain cases, one or more other Federal Trade Commission-approved buyers, on-airport car rental concessions at 13 additional locations where Dollar Thrifty operated prior to the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, or the "Secondary airport locations." The buyer of Advantage agreed to assume all of the Secondary airport locations. As of December 31, 2012, Hertz recorded a loss, including for estimated support payments of $24.1 million.

Advantage Divestiture

        On December 12, 2012, Hertz completed the sale of Simply Wheelz LLC, or the "Advantage divestiture," a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz that operated our Advantage Rent A Car business, or "Advantage," for approximately $16.0 million, plus the value of current assets as of the closing date, which was approximately $3.6 million. As part of the agreement to sell Advantage, Hertz agreed to provide financial support to the buyer of Advantage in the amount of $17.0 million over a period of three years from the closing date (with the present value of $15.6 million as of December 31, 2012). As a result of the Advantage divestiture, Hertz realized a loss (before income taxes) of approximately $31.4 million as of December 31, 2012.

        To assist the buyer of Advantage in securing alternative fleet financing arrangements, Hertz entered into a senior note credit agreement, pursuant to which Hertz agreed, subject to certain conditions, to loan Simply Wheelz, on a senior unsecured basis, up to $45.0 million over 5 years (2.5 years weighted average life) at varied interest rates up to 13% over the life of the loan.

        Further, Hertz agreed to sublease vehicles to the buyer of Advantage for use in continuing the operations of Advantage, for a period no longer than two years from the closing date. As such, Hertz will have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed Advantage business. Therefore, the operating results associated with the Advantage business will continue to be classified as part of our continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 5—Debt (Continued)

        We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles and equipment, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt maturities over the next twelve months.

Letters of Credit

        As of December 31, 2012, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $681.4 million. Of this amount, $626.6 million was issued under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2012, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Acquisition Bridge Financing

        In August 2012 in conjunction with signing of the merger agreement with Dollar Thrifty, Hertz obtained $1,950.0 million in financing commitments for use in acquiring Dollar Thrifty. In October 2012 after having secured permanent financing for the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, Hertz terminated these commitments having never drawn upon them.

CORPORATE DEBT

Senior Credit Facilities

        Senior Term Facility:    In March 2011, Hertz entered into a credit agreement that provides a $1,400.0 million term loan, or as amended, the "Senior Term Facility." In addition, the Senior Term Facility includes a separate incremental pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Senior Term Facility allows for the incurrence of incremental term and/or revolving loans.

        On October 9, 2012, Hertz entered into an Incremental Commitment Amendment to the Senior Term Facility which provided for commitments for the Incremental Term Loans of $750.0 million under the Senior Term Facility. Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, the Incremental Term Loans were fully drawn and the proceeds therefrom were used to: (i) finance a portion of the consideration in connection with the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, (ii) pay off obligations of Dollar Thrifty and its subsidiaries in connection with the Dollar Thrifty acquisition and (iii) pay fees and other transaction expenses in connection with the Dollar Thrifty acquisition and the related financing transactions.

        The Incremental Term Loans are secured by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as the previously existing term loans under the Senior Term Facility. The Incremental Term Loans will, like the previously existing term loans under the Senior Term Facility, mature on March 11, 2018 and the interest rate per annum applicable thereto will be the same as such previously existing term loans. The other terms of the Incremental Term Loans are also generally the same.

        Senior ABL Facility:    In March 2011, Hertz, HERC, and certain other of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,800.0 million (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-based revolving credit facility. We refer to this facility, as amended, from time to time, as the "Senior ABL Facility." Up to $1,500.0 million of

the Senior ABL Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to certain conditions including issuing lender participation. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Senior ABL Facility allows for the addition of incremental revolving and/or term loan commitments. In addition, the Senior ABL Facility permits Hertz to increase the amount of commitments under the Senior ABL Facility with the consent of each lender providing an additional commitment, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

        We refer to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility together as the "Senior Credit Facilities." Hertz's obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by its immediate parent (Hertz Investors, Inc.) and most of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions, including Hertz International Limited, which ultimately owns entities carrying on most of our international operations, and subsidiaries involved in the HVF U.S. Asset-Backed Securities, or "ABS," Program, the Donlen ABS Program and, the RCFC U.S. ABS Program). In addition, the obligations of the "Canadian borrowers" under the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by their respective subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

        The lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities have been granted a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and guarantors under those facilities, including pledges of the stock of certain of their respective domestic subsidiaries (subject, in each case, to certain exceptions, including certain vehicles). Each of the Senior Credit Facilities permits the incurrence of future indebtedness secured on a basis either equal to or subordinated to the liens securing the applicable Senior Credit Facility or on an unsecured basis.

        We refer to Hertz and its subsidiaries as the Hertz credit group. The Senior Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments (including to the parent entities of Hertz and other persons), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, engage in certain transactions with affiliates that are not within the Hertz credit group or enter into certain restrictive agreements limiting the ability to pledge assets.

        Under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of December 31, 2012, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

        Covenants in the Senior Term Facility restrict payment of cash dividends to any parent of Hertz, including Hertz Holdings, with certain exceptions, including: (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed 1.0% of the greater of a specified minimum amount and the consolidated tangible assets of the Hertz credit group (which payments are deducted in determining the amount available as described in the next clause (ii)), (ii) in additional amounts up to a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, an amount set forth in the Senior Term Facility plus 50% of net income from January 1, 2011 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of Hertz are available (less certain investments) and (iii) in additional amounts not to exceed the amount of certain equity contributions made to Hertz.

        Covenants in the Senior ABL Facility restrict payment of cash dividends to any parent of Hertz, including Hertz Holdings, except in an aggregate amount, taken together with certain investments,

acquisitions and optional prepayments, not to exceed $200 million. Hertz may also pay additional cash dividends under the Senior ABL Facility so long as, among other things, (a) no specified default then exists or would arise as a result of making such dividends, (b) there is at least $200 million of liquidity under the Senior ABL Facility after giving effect to the proposed dividend, and (c) either (i) if such liquidity is less than $400 million immediately after giving effect to the making of such dividends, Hertz is in compliance with a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, or (ii) the amount of the proposed dividend does not exceed the sum of (x) 1.0% of tangible assets plus (y) a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, 50% of net income from January 1, 2011 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of Hertz are available plus (z) a specified amount of certain equity contributions made to Hertz.

        In November 2012, we amended the Senior ABL Facility to deem letters of credit issued under Dollar Thrifty's now-terminated senior revolving credit facility to have been issued under the Senior ABL Facility.

Senior Notes

        In March 2012, Hertz issued an additional $250.0 million aggregate principal of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds of this March 2012 offering were used in March 2012 in part to redeem $162.3 million principal amount of Hertz's outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $1.2 million recorded in "Interest expense" on our consolidated statement of operations. The remainder of the proceeds of this March 2012 offering, along with cash on hand or drawings under the Senior ABL Facility were used to redeem €213.5 million ($286.0 million) of Hertz's outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014, which resulted in the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $2.0 million recorded in "Interest expense" on our consolidated statement of operations.

        In October 2012, HDTFS, Inc., a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz issued and sold $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 in a private offering. The gross proceeds of the offering were held in an escrow account until the date of the completion of the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty, at which time the gross proceeds of the offering were released from escrow and HDTFS, Inc. was merged into Hertz.

        Hertz's obligations under the indentures for the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility. The guarantees of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors may be released to the extent such subsidiaries no longer guarantee our Senior Credit Facilities in the United States. HERC may also be released from its guarantee under the outstanding Senior Notes at any time at which no event of default under the related indenture has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding that HERC may remain a subsidiary of Hertz.

        The indentures for the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Hertz credit group to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions to parent entities of Hertz and other persons outside of the Hertz credit group), make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates that are not members of the Hertz credit group.

Fleet Debt-Other

U.S. Fleet Financing Facility

        In September 2006, Hertz and Puerto Ricancars, Inc., a Puerto Rican corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hertz, or "PR Cars," entered into a credit agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of $165.0 million (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-based revolving credit facility, or the "U.S. Fleet Financing Facility." The U.S. Fleet Financing Facility is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

        The obligations of each of Hertz and PR Cars under the U.S. Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by certain of Hertz's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries.

number of modifications to the financing arrangement including decreasing the advance rate and increasing pricing.

European Revolving Credit Facility and European Fleet Notes

        In June 2010, Hertz Holdings Netherlands B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz organized under the laws of The Netherlands, or "HHN BV," entered into a credit agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €220.0 million (the equivalent of $291.2 million as of December 31, 2012) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-based revolving credit facility, or the "European Revolving Credit Facility," and issued the 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due July 2015, or the "European Fleet Notes," in an aggregate original principal amount of €400.0 million (the equivalent of $529.4 million as of December 31, 2012). References to the "European Fleet Debt" include HHN BV's European Revolving Credit Facility and the European Fleet Notes, collectively.

        The European Fleet Debt is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand and Luxembourg, and can be expanded to provide fleet financing in Australia, Canada, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

        The obligations of HHN BV under the European Fleet Debt are guaranteed by Hertz and certain of Hertz's domestic and foreign subsidiaries.

        The agreements governing the European Revolving Credit Facility and the indenture governing the European Fleet Notes contain covenants that apply to the Hertz credit group similar to those for the Senior Notes. In addition, the agreements and indenture contain a combination of security arrangements, springing covenants and "no liens" covenants intended to give the lenders under the European Fleet Debt enhanced recourse to certain assets of HHN BV and certain foreign subsidiaries of Hertz. The terms of the European Fleet Debt permit HHN BV to incur additional indebtedness that would be pari passu with either the European Revolving Credit Facility or the European Fleet Notes.

        In June 2012, HHN BV amended the European Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2013 to June 2015.

European Securitization

        In July 2010, certain foreign subsidiaries entered into a facility agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of €400.0 million (the equivalent of $529.4 million as of December 31, 2012) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-backed securitization facility, or the "European Securitization." The European Securitization is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in France and The Netherlands. The lenders under the European Securitization have been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in France and The Netherlands and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles.

        In August 2011, certain foreign subsidiaries extended the expected maturity of our European Securitization Facility to July 2013. In connection with the extension, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. made a number of modifications to the financing arrangement including increasing the advance rate and decreasing pricing.

Note 5—Debt (Continued)

        In July 2012, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. amended the European Securitization to extend the maturity from July 2013 to July 2014.

Hertz-Sponsored Canadian Securitization

        In May 2007, certain foreign subsidiaries entered into a facility agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of CAD$225.0 million (the equivalent of $226.1 million as of December 31, 2012) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-backed securitization facility, or as amended, the "Canadian Securitization." The Canadian Securitization is the primary fleet financing for our car rental operations in Canada. The lender under the Canadian Securitization has been granted an indirect security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in Canada and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles as well as certain other assets owned by entities connected to the financing.

        In November 2011, Hertz's indirect wholly owned subsidiary HC Limited Partnership extended the maturity of the Canadian Securitization to January 2012 and reduced the facility size to CAD$200.0 million (equivalent to $201.0 million as of December 31, 2012). In connection with the extension, HC Limited Partnership made a number of modifications to the financing arrangement including decreasing the pricing.

        In January 2012, HC Limited Partnership amended the Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from January 2012 to March 2012. In March 2012, HC Limited Partnership amended the Canadian Securitization to extend the maturity date from March 2012 to May 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the maturity date was extended to June 2013.

Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization

        In March 2012 certain foreign subsidiaries of Dollar Thrifty entered into a trust indenture that permits the issuance of term and revolving rental car asset-backed securities, the collateral for which consists primarily of the rental car fleet used in Dollar Thrifty's Canadian car rental operations and contractual rights related to such vehicles. These subsidiaries became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hertz when Hertz acquired Dollar Thrifty.

        In March 2012 these subsidiaries issued asset-backed variable funding notes that provide for aggregate maximum borrowings of CAD$150.0 million (the equivalent of $150.7 million as of December 31, 2012) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis, or the "Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization." The expected final maturity of the Dollar Thrifty-Sponsored Canadian Securitization is August 2014.

Australian Securitization

        In November 2010, certain foreign subsidiaries entered into a facility agreement that provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of A$250.0 million (the equivalent of $259.4 million as of December 31, 2012) (subject to borrowing base availability) on a revolving basis under an asset-backed securitization facility, or the "Australian Securitization." The Australian Securitization is the primary fleet financing for Hertz's car rental operations in Australia. The lender under the Australian Securitization has been granted a security interest primarily in the owned rental car fleet used in our car rental operations in Australia and certain contractual rights related to such vehicles. In connection

with the issuance of the Australian Securitization, an interest rate cap was purchased by a subsidiary, HA Fleet Pty Limited. Concurrently, Hertz sold an offsetting interest rate cap, thereby neutralizing the hedge on a consolidated basis and reducing the net cost of the hedge.

        In October 2012, Hertz's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary HA Fleet Pty Limited amended the Australian Securitization to extend the expected maturity date thereunder to December 2014 in connection with this transaction both HA Fleet Pty Limited and Hertz amended the existing interest rate caps, modifying and extending the amortization schedule to the new maturity date of the securitization.

        See Note 14—Financial Instruments.

Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility

        As of December 31, 2012, our Brazilian operating subsidiary is party to certain local financing arrangements, which are collateralized by certain of its assets, which we refer to as the "Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility."

        In June 2012, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from June 2012 to February 2013.

        See Note 18—Subsequent Events.

Capitalized Leases

        References to the "Capitalized Leases" include the capitalized lease financings outstanding in the United Kingdom, or the "U.K. Leveraged Financing," Australia, The Netherlands and the United States. The amount available under the U.K. Leveraged Financing, which is the largest portion of the Capitalized Leases, as of December 31, 2012 was £195 million (the equivalent of $314.0 million as of December 31, 2012).

Restricted Net Assets

        As a result of the contractual restrictions on Hertz's or its subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends (directly or indirectly) under various terms of our debt, as of December 31, 2012, the restricted net assets of our subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our total consolidated net assets.

Registration Rights

        Hertz entered into exchange and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with (i) the issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 in March 2012, and (ii) the release from escrow of the proceeds of $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, Hertz agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to permit either the exchange of such notes for registered notes or, in the alternative, the registered resale of such notes. Hertz's failure to meet its obligations under either exchange and registration rights agreement, including by failing to have the registration statement become effective by the date that is 365 days after the respective date of the exchange and registration rights agreement or failing to complete the exchange offer by the date that is

F-82

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 5—Debt (Continued)

395 days after the date of the exchange and registration rights agreement, will result in Hertz incurring special interest on such notes at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of any period where a default has occurred and is continuing, which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% during each subsequent 90 day period, up to a maximum of 0.50%. A registration statement on Form S-4 covering the exchange of such notes was declared effective by the SEC on February 1, 2013 and the exchange offer is scheduled to be completed on March 6, 2013, so we do not believe the special interest obligation is probable, and as such, we have not recorded any amounts for special interest with respect to these notes.

Financial Covenant Compliance

        Under the terms of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Hertz credit group to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of December 31, 2012, we were not subject to such contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio.

as collateral. Our ability to borrow under each revolving credit facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "borrowing base."

        We refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility.

        We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

        As of December 31, 2012, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $8.0 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $1,010.4 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

        Substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our various credit facilities.

        Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which we are the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment of $440.8 million and $456.3 million, respectively, and total liabilities primarily comprised of debt of $440.3 million and $455.8 million, respectively.

Accrued Interest

        As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, accrued interest was $86.4 million and $85.7 million, respectively, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities."

        For subsequent events relating to our indebtedness, see Note 18—Subsequent Events.

Note 6—Employee Retirement Benefits

        Qualified U.S. employees, after completion of specified periods of service, are eligible to participate in The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan, or the "Hertz Retirement Plan," a cash balance plan. Under this qualified Hertz Retirement Plan, we pay the entire cost and employees are not required to contribute.

        Most of our international subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans or participate in various insured or multiemployer plans. In certain countries, when the subsidiaries make the required funding payments, they have no further obligations under such plans.

        Company plans are generally funded, except for certain nonqualified U.S. defined benefit plans and in Germany and France, where unfunded liabilities are recorded.

        We sponsor defined contribution plans for certain eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. We match contributions of participating employees on the basis specified in the plans.

        An amendment to the Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Plan took effect on January 1, 2012. A fixed interest rate of 3% will be applied to cash balance credits in 2012 and later years. Previously, it was the rate published by the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, or "PGBC," for the December prior to the year the credit was earned. Also effective January 1, 2012, service credit rates for each employee will be determined on the first day of the year.

        We sponsored a defined benefit pension plan in the U.K. On June 30, 2011, we approved an agreement with the trustees of that plan to cease all future benefit accruals to existing members and to close the plan to new members. Effective July 1, 2011, we introduced a defined contribution plan with company matching contributions to replace the defined benefit pension plan. The company matching contributions are generally 100% of the employee contributions, up to 8% of pay, except that former members of the defined benefit plan receive an enhanced match for five years. This will result in lower contributions this year into the defined benefit plan, which will be offset by matching contributions to the new defined contribution plan. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a gain of $13.1 million for the U.K. plan that represented unamortized prior service cost from a 2010 amendment that eliminated discretionary pension increases related to pre-1997 service primarily related to inactive employees.

        We also sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with participants' contributions adjusted annually. An unfunded liability is recorded. We also have a key officer postretirement car benefit plan that provides the use of a vehicle for retired Senior Vice Presidents and above who have a minimum of 20 years of service and who retired at age 58 or above.

        We use a December 31 measurement date for all of our plans.

        The following tables set forth the funded status and the net periodic pension cost of the Hertz Retirement Plan, other postretirement benefit plans (including health care and life insurance plans covering domestic ("U.S.") employees and the retirement plans for international operations

        The discount rate used to determine the December 31, 2012 benefit obligations for U.S. pension plans is based on the rate from the Mercer Pension Discount Curve-Above Mean Yield that is appropriate for the duration of our plan liabilities. For our plans outside the U.S., the discount rate reflects the market rates for an optimized subset of high-quality corporate bonds currently available. The discount rate in a country was determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in that country. The rate selected from the yield curve has a duration that matches our plan.

        The U.S. Plan, or the "Plan," currently has a target asset allocation of 65% equity and 35% fixed income. The equity portion of the Plan is invested in one passively managed S&P 500 index fund, one passively managed U.S. small/midcap fund and one actively managed international portfolio. The fixed income portion of the Plan is actively managed by a professional investment manager and is benchmarked to the Barclays Long Govt/Credit Index. The Plan assumes an 7.6% rate of return on assets, which represents the expected long-term annual weighted-average return for the Plan in total.

        The U.K. Plan currently invests in a professionally managed Balanced Consensus Index Fund, which has the investment objective of achieving a total return relatively equal to its benchmark. The benchmark is based upon the average asset weightings of a broad universe of U.K. pension funds invested in pooled investment vehicles and each of their relevant indices. The asset allocation as of December 31, 2012, was 79% equity, 9% fixed income and 12% cash and cash equivalents. The U.K. Plan currently assumes a rate of return on assets of 7.5%, which represents the expected long-term annual weighted-average return.

Contributions

        Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. In 2012, we made discretionary cash contributions to our U.S. qualified pension plan of $38.4 million. In 2011, we made discretionary cash contributions to our U.S. qualified pension plan of $58.9 million. We expect to contribute between $20.0 million and $30.0 million to our U.S. plan during 2013. The level of 2013 and future contributions will vary, and is dependent on a number of factors including investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, plan demographics, funding regulations and the results of the final actuarial valuation.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

        We contribute to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements that cover certain of our union-represented employees. The risks of participating in such plans are different from the risks of single-employer plans, in the following respects:

    a)
    Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

    b)
    If a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

    c)
    If we cease to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which we had been a contributing employer, we may be required to pay to the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan and on the history of our participation in the plan prior to the cessation of our obligation to contribute. The amount that an employer that has ceased to have an obligation to contribute to a multiemployer plan is required to pay to the plan is referred to as a withdrawal liability.

        Our participation in multiemployer plans for the annual period ended December 31, 2012 is outlined in the table below. For each plan that is individually significant to us, the following information is provided:

    The "EIN / Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employer Identification Number and the three- digit plan number assigned to a plan by the Internal Revenue Service.

    The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status available for 2011 and 2012 is for plan years that ended in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The zone status is based on information provided to us and other participating employers by each plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. A plan in the "red" zone has been determined to be in "critical status," based on criteria established under the Internal Revenue Code, or the "Code," and is generally less than 65% funded. A plan in the "yellow" zone has been determined to be in "endangered status," based on criteria established under the Code, and is generally less than 80% funded. A plan in the "green" zone has been determined to be neither in "critical status" nor in "endangered status," and is generally at least 80% funded.

    The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates whether a Funding Improvement Plan, as required under the Code to be adopted by plans in the "yellow" zone, or a Rehabilitation Plan, as required under the Code to be adopted by plans in the "red" zone, is pending or has been implemented as of the end of the plan year that ended in 2012.

    The "Surcharge Imposed" column indicates whether our contribution rate for 2012 included an amount in addition the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, as imposed by a plan in "critical status," in accordance with the requirements of the Code.

    The last column lists the expiration dates of the collective bargaining agreements pursuant to which we contribute to the plans.

The amount contributed by Hertz to the Local 1034 Pension Fund was reported as being more than 5% of total contributions to the plan, on the fund's Form 5500 for the year ended 12/31/2011.

        During 2012, Hertz completely withdrew employees from an existing multi-employer pension plan with the Central States Pension Fund, or the "Pension Fund," and entered into a new agreement with the Pension Fund, which adopted an alternative method for determining an employer's unfunded obligation that would limit Hertz funding obligations to the Pension Fund in the future. As part of the agreement, certain Pension Fund participants were effectively moved to the Hertz retirement plan and the remaining participants were moved to a new pension plan sponsored by the Pension Fund. In connection with the complete withdrawal from the Pension Fund, Hertz was subject to a withdrawal liability of approximately $23.2 million, which was paid in December 2012.

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation

Plans

        On February 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Hertz and Hertz Holdings jointly adopted the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan," which was approved by the stockholders of Hertz Holdings at the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 15, 2008 and amended and restated on May 27, 2010. A maximum of 32.7 million shares are reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan provides for grants of both equity and cash awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (shares and units), restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units to key executives, employees and non-management directors. We also granted awards under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Stock Incentive Plan," and the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Director Plan," or collectively the "Prior Plans."

        The Omnibus Plan provides that no further awards will be granted pursuant to the Prior Plans. However, awards that had been previously granted pursuant to the Prior Plans will continue to be subject to and governed by the terms of the Prior Plans. As of December 31, 2012, there were 8.0 million shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock underlying awards outstanding under the Prior

Plans. In addition, as of December 31, 2012, there were 9.4 million shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock underlying awards outstanding under the Omnibus Plan.

        In addition to the 17.4 million shares underlying outstanding awards as of December 31, 2012, we had 16.9 million shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. The shares of common stock to be delivered under the Omnibus Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of common stock held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares of common stock, not reserved for any other purpose.

        Shares subject to any award granted under the Omnibus Plan that for any reason are canceled, terminated, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise settled without the issuance of common stock after the effective date of the Omnibus Plan will generally be available for future grants under the Omnibus Plan.

        In March 2012, Hertz Holdings granted 543,880 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," to certain executives and employees at fair values ranging from $13.65 to $14.47, 747,423 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," at a fair value of $13.65, and 1,098,591 PSUs (referred to as Price Vesting Units, or "PVUs") at fair values ranging from $10.13 to $11.26 under the Omnibus Plan. The PSUs have a performance condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will vary from 0% to 150% of the original grant, based on 2012 and 2013 Hertz Holdings' Corporate EBITDA results. "EBITDA" means consolidated net income before net interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation (which includes revenue earning equipment lease charges) and amortization. "Corporate EBITDA," represents EBITDA as adjusted for car rental fleet interest, car rental fleet depreciation and certain other items, as provided in the applicable award agreements. Of the PVUs granted, one half will fully vest after three years if Hertz Holdings' stock price appreciates 15% over the starting price established on March 2, 2012, and one half will fully vest after four years if Hertz Holdings' stock price appreciates 25% over the starting price established on March 2, 2012. The starting price for the PVU awards is the average of the 20 trading day closing stock price ending March 2, 2012. Partial attainment of Hertz Holdings' stock appreciation targets will result in partial vesting. The achievement of the market condition for the PVUs is determined based on the average closing stock price for the 20 trading day period ending March 6, 2015 and 2016, respectively. In May 2012, Hertz Holdings granted 146,301 RSUs at a fair value of $15.48, in August 2012, Hertz Holdings granted 59,480 RSUs at a fair value of $12.12, and in November 2012, we granted 24,713 RSUs at a fair value of $13.15. In November 2012, we granted 35,492 non-qualified options with a strike price of $0.17 in exchange for 6,000 Dollar Thrifty options with a strike price of $0.97.

        The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Prior Plans (as defined below) and the Omnibus Plan is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        A summary of the total compensation expense and associated income tax benefits recognized under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan, including the cost of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, is as follows (in millions of dollars):

 
  Years Ended December 31,  
 
  2012   2011   2010  

Compensation expense

  $ 30.3   $ 31.0   $ 36.6  

Income tax benefit

Total

  $ 18.6   $ 19.0   $ 22.4  
               

As of December 31, 2012, there was approximately $38.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted by Hertz Holdings under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan. The total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.4 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

        All stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Omnibus Plan will have a per-share exercise price of not less than the fair market value of one share of Hertz Holdings common stock on the grant date. Stock options and stock appreciation rights will vest based on a minimum period of service or the occurrence of events (such as a change in control, as defined in the Omnibus Plan) specified by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors. No stock options or stock appreciation rights will be exercisable after ten years from the grant date.

        We have accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." The non-cash stock based compensation expense associated with the Stock Incentive Plan is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level. The options are being accounted for as equity-classified awards. We will recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the stock of Hertz Holdings became publicly traded in November 2006 and had a short trading history, it was not practicable for us to estimate the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings' share price, or a peer company share price, because there was insufficient historical information about past volatility prior to 2012. Therefore, prior to 2012 we used the calculated value method, substituting the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings' common stock price as an assumption in the valuation model. We selected the Dow Jones Specialized Consumer Services sub-sector within the consumer services industry, and we used the U.S. large capitalization component, which includes the top 70% of the index universe (by market value).

        The calculation of the historical volatility of the index was made using the daily historical closing values of the index for the preceding 6.25 years, because that is the expected term of the options using the simplified approach.

        For 2012, we have determined that there was sufficient historical information available to estimate the expected volatility of our share price. Therefore, for 2012 we calculated volatility for Hertz

Holdings' stock price based on a weighted average combining implied volatility and the average of our peer's most recent 5.79-year volatility and mean reversion volatility.

additional vesting condition which called for the number of units that will be awarded being based on achievement of a certain level of Corporate EBITDA over the applicable measurement period.

        In March 2012, Hertz Holdings granted 1,846,014 PSUs that had a performance vesting condition under which the number of units that will ultimately be awarded will vary from 0% to 150% of the original grant, based on the sum of 2012 and 2013 Corporate EBITDA results, in addition to a service vesting condition.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        On February 28, 2008, upon recommendation of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, or "Committee," of Hertz Holdings, Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors adopted the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the "ESPP," and the plan was approved by the stockholders of Hertz Holdings on May 15, 2008. The ESPP is intended to be an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

        The maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the ESPP is 3,000,000 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock, subject to adjustment in the case of any change in Hertz Holdings' shares, including by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, share combination, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation or change in corporate structure. An eligible employee may elect to participate in the ESPP each quarter (or other period established by the Committee) through a payroll deduction. The maximum and minimum contributions that an eligible employee may make under all of Hertz Holdings' qualified employee stock purchase plans will be determined by the Committee, provided that no employee may be permitted to purchase stock with an aggregate fair market value greater than $25,000 per year. At the end of the offering period, the total amount of each employee's payroll deduction will be used to purchase shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock. The purchase price per share will be not less than 85% of the market price of Hertz Holdings' common stock on the date of purchase; the exact percentage for each offering period will be set in advance by the Committee.

        For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized compensation cost of approximately $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the amount of the discount

on the stock purchased by our employees under the ESPP. Approximately 1,800 employees participated in the ESPP as of December 31, 2012.

Note 8—Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges

        Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges includes the following (in millions of dollars):

 
  Years Ended December 31,  
 
  2012   2011   2010  

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment

Total

  $ 2,148.2   $ 1,905.7   $ 1,868.1  
               

        The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, included net gains of $83.2 million and $98.9 million and net loss of $32.9 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and net gains of $13.5 million and $13.3 million and net loss of $10.0 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.

        Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the year ended December 31, 2012, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net decreases of $130.6 million and $13.8 million and a net increase of $19.1 million in depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The cumulative effect of the reduction in rates was indicative of the strong residual values experienced in the U.S. for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in an increase of $0.5 million, decrease of $4.4 million and increase of $3.6 million in depreciation expense, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2012, deferred tax assets of $1,294.3 million were recorded for unutilized U.S. Federal Net Operating Losses, or "NOL," carry forwards of $3,697.9 million. The total Federal NOL carry forwards are $3,775.0 million of which $77.1 million relate to excess tax deductions associated with stock option plans which have yet to reduce taxes payable. Upon the utilization of these carry forwards, the associated tax benefits of approximately $27.0 million will be recorded to Additional paid-in capital. The Federal NOLs begin to expire in 2025. State NOLs exclusive of the effects of the

excess tax deductions, have generated a deferred tax asset of $105.8 million. The state NOLs expire over various years beginning in 2013 depending upon particular jurisdiction.

        On January 1, 2009, Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch. For U.S. income tax purposes the transaction, when combined with other unrelated transactions during the previous 36 months, resulted in a change in control as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, utilization of all pre-2009 U.S. net operating losses is subject to an annual limitation. We have calculated the expected annual base limitation as well as additional limitations resulting from a net unrealized built in gain as of the acquisition date and other adjustments. Based on the calculations, the limitation is not expected to result in a loss of net operating losses or have a material adverse impact on taxes.

        As of December 31, 2012, deferred tax assets of $248.5 million were recorded for foreign NOL carry forwards of $1,049.0 million. A valuation allowance of $200.6 million at December 31, 2012 was recorded against these deferred tax assets because those assets relate to jurisdictions that have historical losses and the likelihood exists that a portion of the NOL carry forwards may not be utilized in the future.

        The foreign NOL carry forwards of $1,049.0 million include $775.5 million which have an indefinite carry forward period and associated deferred tax assets of $170.6 million. The remaining foreign NOLs of $273.5 million are subject to expiration beginning in 2015 and have associated deferred tax assets of $77.9 million.

        As of December 31, 2012, deferred tax assets for U.S. Foreign Tax Credit carry forwards were $20.8 million which relate to credits generated as of December 31, 2007. The carry forwards will begin to expire in 2015. A valuation allowance of $13.5 million at December 31, 2012 was recorded against a portion of the U.S. foreign tax credit deferred tax assets in the likelihood that they may not be utilized in the future. A deferred tax asset was also recorded for various state tax credit carry forwards of $3.0 million, which will begin to expire in 2027.

        In determining the valuation allowance, an assessment of positive and negative evidence was performed regarding realization of the net deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Income Taxes," or "ASC 740-10." This assessment included the evaluation of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the availability of carry forwards and estimates of projected future taxable income. Based on the assessment, as of December 31, 2012, total valuation allowances of $226.4 million were recorded against deferred tax assets. Although realization is not assured, we have concluded that it is more likely than not the remaining deferred tax assets of $1,877.4 million will be realized and as such no valuation allowance has been provided on these assets.

The provision for taxes on income increased $83.3 million, primarily due to higher income before income taxes, changes in geographic earnings mix, changes in valuation allowances for losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized and non-deductible compensation payments under Internal Revenue Code Section 280(G) related to the Dollar Thrifty acquisition.

        The negative effective tax rate in 2010 is primarily due to a lower loss before income taxes in 2010, valuation allowances for losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which tax benefits cannot be realized and differences in foreign tax rates versus the U.S. Federal tax rate and the impact of the France law change in 2010.

        As of December 31, 2012, our foreign subsidiaries have $270.3 million of undistributed earnings which would be subject to taxation if repatriated. Deferred tax liabilities have not been recorded for such earnings because it is management's current intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings offshore. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of such deferred tax liabilities. If, in the future, undistributed earnings are repatriated to the United States, or it is determined such earnings will be repatriated in the foreseeable future, deferred tax liabilities will be recorded.

Note 9—Taxes on Income (Continued)

        As of December 31, 2012, total unrecognized tax benefits were $17.2 million, all of which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions of dollars):

 
  2012   2011   2010  

Balance at January 1

  $ 21.6   $ 27.2   $ 25.6  

Increase (decrease) attributable to tax positions taken during prior periods

    (6.8 )   (9.5 )   0.3  

Increase attributable to tax positions taken during the current year

    2.4     3.9     1.3  

Decrease attributable to settlements with taxing authorities

             
               

Balance at December 31

  $ 17.2   $ 21.6   $ 27.2  
               

        We conduct business globally and, as a result, file one or more income tax returns in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years for these jurisdictions span from 2003 to 2012. We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2006 to 2009. Several U.S. state and non-U.S. jurisdictions are under audit.

        In many cases the uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. It is reasonable that approximately $6.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits may reverse within the next twelve months due to settlement with the relevant taxing authorities and/or the filing of amended income tax returns.

        Net, after-tax interest and penalties related to the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of "Provision for taxes on income" in the consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, approximately $0.6 million, $1.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in net, after-tax interest and penalties were recognized. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately $4.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of net, after-tax interest and penalties was accrued in our consolidated balance sheet within "Accrued taxes."

Note 10—Lease and Concession Agreements

Note 10—Lease and Concession Agreements (Continued)

        For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, sublease income reduced rent expense included in the above table by $5.0 million, $5.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2012, minimum obligations under existing agreements referred to above are approximately as follows (in millions of dollars):

Years after 2017

    194.1     509.7  

        The future minimum rent payments in the above table have been reduced by minimum future sublease rental inflows in aggregate of $21.2 million.

        Many of our concession agreements and real estate leases require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses, such as common area charges and real estate taxes, to pay concession fees above guaranteed minimums or additional rent based on a percentage of revenues or sales (as defined in those agreements) arising at the relevant premises, or both. Such obligations are not reflected in the table of minimum future obligations appearing immediately above. We operate from various leased premises under operating leases with terms up to 25 years. A number of our operating leases contain renewal options. These renewal options vary, but the majority include clauses for renewal for various term lengths at various rates, both fixed and market.

        In addition to the above, we have various leases on revenue earning equipment and office and computer equipment under which the following amounts were expensed (in millions of dollars):

Note 11—Segment Information

        Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction and material handling equipment, or "equipment rental." Other reconciling items includes general corporate assets and expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as our third party claim management services.

        Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is the measure utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. We believe this measure best reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus other reconciling items, non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. The contribution of our

Legal Proceedings

        From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings. Other than with respect to the aggregate claims for public liability and property damage pending against us, management does not believe that any of the matters resolved, or pending against us, during 2012 are material to us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole. While we have accrued a liability with respect to claims for public liability and property damage of $332.2 million at December 31, 2012, management, based on the advice of legal counsel, does not believe any of the other pending matters described below are material. We have summarized below, for purposes of providing background, various legal proceedings to which we were and/or are a party during 2012 or the period after December 31, 2012 but before the filing of this Annual Report. In addition to the following, various other legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. As previously disclosed, on June 15, 2011 we received a subpoena from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," seeking production of documents related to our

proposed business combination with Dollar Thrifty. On February 14, 2013, we were informed by the staff that the investigation has been completed and that no action was taken by the staff or the SEC.

    1.
    Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or "HERC," Loss Damage Waiver

      On August 15, 2006, Davis Landscape, Ltd., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint against HERC in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In November 2006, the complaint was amended to add another plaintiff, Miguel V. Pro, and more claims. The Davis Landscape matter purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons and business entities who rented equipment from HERC and who paid a Loss Damage Waiver, or "LDW," or an Environmental Recovery Fee, or "ERF." The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment and injunction prohibiting HERC from engaging in acts with respect to the LDW and ERF charges that violate the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and claim that the charges violate the Uniform Commercial Code. The plaintiffs also seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages with the return of all LDW and ERF charges paid, attorneys' fees and costs as well as other damages. The court has granted class certification, denied our motion for summary judgment and the case is in the discovery stages. In February 2012, we filed separate motions for partial summary judgment on the LDW and ERF claims and we filed a motion to decertify the class. In June 2012, the judge denied our motion for partial summary judgment on the LDW claim and, in July 2012, the judge granted our motion for partial summary judgment on the ERF claim. The court also entered an order referring the case to mediation by private consent of the parties. We have continued to work through the mediator and in direct discussions with plaintiffs' counsel on an acceptable settlement of this litigation and have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost which is not material to our financial condition.

    2.
    Concession Fee Recoveries

      On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, or "Enterprise," was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The plaintiffs agreed to not pursue claims against Enterprise initially and the case only proceeded against Hertz. The Sobel case purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz at airports in Nevada and were separately charged airport concession recovery fees by Hertz as part of their rental charges. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz from quoting or charging those airport fees that are alleged not to be allowed by Nevada law. The complaint also seeks attorneys' fees and costs. Relevant documents were produced, depositions were taken and pre-trial motions were filed. After the court rendered a mixed ruling on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment and after the Lydia Lee case was refiled against Enterprise, the parties engaged in mediation which resulted in a proposed settlement. Although the court tentatively approved the settlement in November 2010, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the proposed settlement in May 2011. Since that time, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification-which we opposed-and discovery has commenced again. A separate action is proceeding against Enterprise, National and Alamo. In May 2012, all briefing was completed on the two outstanding issues—unjust enrichment and damages. The briefing included expert

      reports as submitted by both sides. In October 2012, the court held a hearing on the plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The court has since entered a stay order and the parties will again be engaging in mediation.

    3.
    Telephone Consumer Protection Act

      On May 3, 2007, Fun Services of Kansas City, Inc., individually and as the representative of a class of similarly-situated persons, v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation was commenced in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. The case was subsequently transferred to the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas. The Fun Services matter purports to be a class action on behalf of all persons in Kansas and throughout the United States who, on or after four years prior to the filing of the action, were sent facsimile messages of advertising materials relating to the availability of property, goods or services by HERC and who did not provide express permission for sending such faxes. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, attorney's fees and costs. In August 2009, the court issued an order that stayed all activity in this litigation pending a decision by the Kansas Supreme Court in Critchfield Physical Therapy, Inc. v. Taranto Group, Inc., another Telephone Consumer Protection Act case. The Kansas Supreme Court issued its decision in September 2011. Thereafter, the District Court of Johnson County lifted the stay in the Fun Services case and issued a scheduling order that addresses class certification discovery. In February 2012, HERC filed a Notice of Removal with the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas seeking to remove the case to federal court based on federal question jurisdiction. In March 2012, the federal magistrate entered an order requiring the parties to engage in mediation and report back to her regarding their progress by June 2012. In June 2012, a mediation was held and as a result of the mediation, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this class action. A settlement that addresses compensation to class members, class counsel fees and the claims process was finalized by the parties' counsel in January 2013. The court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement in January 2013 and the final approval hearing is currently scheduled for April 2013. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost, which is not material to our financial condition.

    California Tourism Assessments

      We are currently a defendant in a proceeding that purports to be a class action brought by Michael Shames and Gary Gramkow against The Hertz Corporation, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Avis Budget Group, Inc., Vanguard Car Rental USA, Inc., Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, Fox Rent A Car, Inc., Coast Leasing Corp., The California Travel and Tourism Commission, and Caroline Beteta.

      Originally filed in November of 2007, the action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and plaintiffs claim to represent a class of individuals or entities that purchased rental car services from a defendant at airports located in California after January 1, 2007. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants agreed to charge consumers a 2.5% tourism assessment and not to compete with respect to this assessment, while misrepresenting that this assessment is owed by consumers, rather than the rental car defendants, to the California Travel and Tourism Commission, or the "CTTC." Plaintiffs also allege that defendants agreed to pass through to consumers a fee known as the Airport Concession Fee, which fee had previously been required to be included in the rental car defendants' individual

Plaintiffs dropped their claims against Caroline Beteta. Plaintiffs' claims against the rental car defendants have been dismissed, except for the federal antitrust claim. In June 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' antitrust case against the CTTC as a state agency immune from antitrust complaint because the California Legislature foresaw the alleged price-fixing conspiracy that was the subject of the complaint. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a petition with the Ninth Circuit seeking a rehearing and that petition was granted. In November 2010, the Ninth Circuit withdrew its June opinion and instead held that state action immunity was improperly invoked. The Ninth Circuit reinstated the plaintiffs' antitrust claims and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. In May 2012, the district court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement of this action; certifying a settlement class; certifying a class representative and lead counsel; and providing for class notice. In October 2012, the court held a final approval hearing. In November 2012, the court issued an order of final approval of the settlement of this action. One of the objectors to the settlement has filed a notice of appeal of this order with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We have accrued our best estimate of the ultimate cost which is not material to our financial condition.

    Public Liability and Property Damage

      We are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us. The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment, as stated on our balance sheet, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 our liability recorded for public liability and property damage matters was $332.2 million and $281.5 million, respectively. We believe that our analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined with reasonable assumptions, and that we may prudently rely on this information to determine the estimated liability. We note the liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability reserve is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history and insurance related state legislation changes. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

      We intend to assert that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

        We have established reserves for matters where we believe that the losses are probable and reasonably estimated, including for various of the matters set forth above. Other than with respect to the aggregate reserves established for claims for public liability and property damage, none of those reserves are material. For matters, including those described above, where we have not established a

reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

        As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding.

Indemnification Obligations

        In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

        We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. Hertz Holdings also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.

Environmental

        We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed

Note 12—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments (Continued)

consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" were $2.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Note 13—Restructuring

        As part of our ongoing effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we have evaluated our workforce and operations and made adjustments, including headcount reductions and business process reengineering resulting in optimized work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlined our back-office operations and evaluated potential outsourcing opportunities. When we made adjustments to our workforce and operations, we incurred incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increased operating efficiency and reduced costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

        During 2007 through 2011, we announced several initiatives to improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions. These initiatives included, but were not limited to, job reductions at our corporate headquarters and back-office operations in the U.S. and Europe. As part of our re-engineering optimization we outsourced selected functions globally. In addition, we streamlined operations and reduced costs by initiating the closure of targeted car rental locations and equipment rental branches throughout the world. The largest of these closures occurred in 2008 which resulted in closures of approximately 250 off-airport locations and 22 branches in our U.S. equipment rental business. These initiatives impacted approximately 8,960 employees.

        During 2012, we continued to streamline operations and reduce costs with the closure of several car rental and equipment rental locations globally as well as a reduction in our workforce by approximately 650 employees.

        From January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2012, we incurred $568.4 million ($282.7 million for our car rental segment, $230.3 million for our equipment rental segment and $55.4 million of other) of restructuring charges.

        Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives are being developed; however, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

Note 14—Financial Instruments

Gasoline Swap Contracts

        We purchase unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel at prevailing market rates and maintain a program to manage our exposure to changes in fuel prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. We currently have in place swaps to cover a portion of our fuel price exposure through March 2014. We presently hedge a portion of our overall unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel purchases with commodity swaps and have contracts in place that settle on a monthly basis. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these commodity instruments are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

Interest Rate Cap Contracts

        Hertz is exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, and has purchased and sold interest rate cap agreements to manage that risk. Consequently, we manage the financial exposure as part of our risk management program by striving to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the financial markets may have on our operating results. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate caps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

        We manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations.

Foreign Exchange Options

        We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty.

Fair value measures

        Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

        The accounting guidance for fair value measurements also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

    Level 1:    Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.

    Level 2:    Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

    Level 3:    Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

        For borrowings with an initial maturity of 90 days or less, fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For all other debt, fair value is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs). The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2012 was $15,529.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $14,999.1 million. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2011 was $11,092.4 million, compared to its aggregate unpaid principal balance of $10,925.6 million.

Relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors

Stockholders Agreement

        In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz Holdings entered into a stockholders agreement (as amended, the "Stockholders Agreement") with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. Based on current share ownership of the Sponsors, the Stockholders Agreement contains agreements that entitle investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors to nominate two nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R (one of whom shall serve as the chairman

Note 15—Related Party Transactions (Continued)

or, if the chief executive officer is the chairman, the lead director), one nominee of investment funds associated with Carlyle, and one nominee of an investment fund associated with Merrill Lynch. The Stockholders Agreement also provides that Hertz Holdings' chief executive officer shall be designated as a director, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the Sponsor Designees. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement provides that one of the nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R shall serve as the chairman of the executive and governance committee of Hertz Holdings and, unless otherwise agreed by this fund, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings or lead director.

        The Stockholders Agreement grants to the investment funds associated with CD&R or to the board, with the approval of the majority of the Sponsor Designees, the right to remove Hertz Holdings' chief executive officer. Any replacement chief executive officer requires the consent of the investment funds associated with CD&R as well as investment funds associated with at least one other Sponsor. It also contains restrictions on the transfer of Hertz Holdings' shares, and provides for tag-along and drag-along rights, in certain circumstances. The rights described above apply only for so long as the investment funds associated with the applicable Sponsor maintain certain specified minimum levels of shareholdings in Hertz Holdings.

        The Stockholders Agreement limits the rights of the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors that have invested in the common stock of Hertz Holdings and its affiliates, subject to several exceptions, to own, manage, operate or control any of our "competitors" (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement). The Stockholders Agreement may be amended from time to time in the future to eliminate or modify these restrictions without Hertz Holdings' consent.

Registration Rights Agreement

        On December 21, 2005, Hertz Holdings entered into a registration rights agreement (as amended, the "Registration Rights Agreement") with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. The Registration Rights Agreement grants to certain of these investment funds the right, to cause Hertz Holdings, at its own expense, to use its best efforts to register such securities held by the investment funds for public resale, subject to certain limitations. The exercise of this right is limited to three requests by the group of investment funds associated with each Sponsor, except for registrations effected pursuant to Form S-3, which are unlimited, subject to certain limitations, if Hertz Holdings is eligible to use Form S-3. The secondary offerings of the common stock of Hertz Holdings in June 2007, May 2009, June 2009, March 2011 and December 2012 were effected pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement. In the event Hertz Holdings registers any of its common stock, these investment funds have the right to require us to use our best efforts to include shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings held by them, subject to certain limitations, including as determined by the underwriters. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for Hertz Holdings to indemnify the investment funds party to that agreement and their affiliates in connection with the registration of Hertz Holdings' securities.

Director Compensation Policy

        Our directors who are also members of the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings receive no additional compensation for serving on our Board of Directors or any committee of our Board of Directors. Currently all members of our Board of Directors are also members of the Board of

Directors of Hertz Holdings. The compensation expense of the Hertz Holdings' directors is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

        In November 2011, Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors amended and restated the Director Compensation Policy. Pursuant to the policy prior to November 2011 its directors who are not also employees each received a $170,000 annual retainer fee, of which $70,000 was payable in cash and $100,000 was payable in the form of shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock. Starting in November 2011, the policy now provides that Hertz Holdings' directors who are not also employees each receive a $210,000 annual retainer fee, of which $85,000 is payable in cash and $125,000 is payable in the form of equity. In May 2012, Hertz Holdings' Board of Directors further amended and restated the Director Compensation Policy to provide that the equity portion of the annual retainer fee would be paid annually following the annual meeting of shareholders (or the eligible director's date of election, if applicable) in the form of restricted stock units having an equivalent fair market value equal to the annual equity award amount on the date of grant. The restricted stock units will vest on the business day immediately preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders .

        For 2013, the lead director of Hertz Holdings' is paid an additional annual cash fee of $100,000, the chairperson of Hertz Holdings' Audit Committee is paid an additional annual cash fee of $35,000 and each other member of its Audit Committee is paid an additional annual cash fee of $17,500. For 2013, the chairperson of Hertz Holdings' Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee is paid an additional annual cash fee of $35,000 and each other member of its Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee receives an additional annual cash fee of $17,500.

Financing Arrangements with Related Parties

        Affiliates of Merrill Lynch (which is one of the Sponsors), including Bank of America and certain of its affiliates, have provided various investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to us for which they have received customary fees and commissions.

        In May and June 2009, Merrill Lynch, one of the Sponsors, acted as an underwriter in the common stock follow-on public offering and in the public offering of Hertz Holdings' Convertible Senior Notes, for which they received customary fees and expenses.

        In May 2009 Hertz Holdings entered into subscription agreements with investment funds affiliated with CD&R and Carlyle to purchase an additional 32,101,182 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock at a price of $6.23 per share (the same price per share paid to Hertz Holdings by the underwriters in the common stock public offering) with proceeds to us of approximately $200.0 million. This closed on July 7, 2009 and the 32,101,182 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock were issued to CD&R and Carlyle affiliated investment funds on the same date. In March 2011 and December 2012, the Sponsors sold 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and 50,000,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock to J.P.

not guarantee the Parent's indebtedness, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; and of (e) the Company on a consolidated basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are consistent with those entities which guaranteed the Company's existing indebtedness as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, with the exception of the Company's Simply Wheelz subsidiary which was sold in connection with the Advantage divestiture, as more fully described below, and therefore is not included as a guarantor of the debt in this prospectus.

        On December 12, 2012, pursuant to a consent agreement Hertz Holdings entered into with the Federal Trade Commission in connection with the Dollar Thrifty acquisition, we consummated the Advantage Divestiture. Prior to the Advantage Divestiture, Simply Wheelz, the legal entity associated with Advantage, had been included within these condensed consolidating financial statements as a Guarantor Subsidiary. The following condensed consolidating financial statements which include Simply Wheelz now reflects it as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary for all periods presented.

        Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been provided as management believes the following information is sufficient, as the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Credit Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 18—Subsequent Events

        On January 23, 2013, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," an insolvency remote, direct, wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of Hertz, completed the issuance of $950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of three year and five year Series 2013-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A and Class B. The $282.75 million of three year Class A notes carry a 1.12% coupon, the $42.25 million of three year Class B notes carry a 1.86% coupon, the $543.75 million of five year Class A notes carry a 1.83% coupon, and the $81.25 million of five year Class B notes carry a 2.48% coupon. The three year notes and five year notes have expected final payment dates in August 2016 and August 2018, respectively. The Class B notes are subordinated to the Class A notes.

        The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be, to the extent permitted by the applicable agreements, (i) used to pay the purchase price of vehicles acquired by HVF pursuant to HVF's U.S. ABS Program (as defined herein), (ii) used to pay the principal amount of other HVF U.S. ABS Program indebtedness that is then permitted or required to be paid or (iii) released to HVF to be distributed to Hertz or otherwise used by HVF for general purposes.

        In February 2013, Hertz caused its Brazilian operating subsidiary to amend the Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility to extend the maturity date from February 2013 to October 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors
Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.

        We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

        We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

        Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2012 (Except for Note 19, as to which the date is June 26, 2013), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

DOLLAR THRIFTY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. ("DTG") and its subsidiaries. DTG's significant wholly owned subsidiaries include DTG Operations, Inc., Thrifty, Inc., Dollar Rent A Car, Inc. and Rental Car Finance Corp. ("RCFC"). Thrifty, Inc. is the parent company of Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc., which is the parent company of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Canada Inc. ("DTG Canada"). The term the "Company" is used to refer to DTG individually or collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require.

        The accounting policies set forth in Note 1 of notes to DTG's audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for interim periods included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company's opinion, it made all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit, including highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Book overdrafts represent outstanding checks not yet presented to the bank and are included in accounts payable to reflect the Company's outstanding obligations. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was $13.3 million and $19.0 million, respectively, in book overdrafts included in accounts payable. These amounts do not represent bank overdrafts, which would constitute checks presented in excess of cash on hand, and would be effectively a loan to the Company.

        Restricted Cash and Investments—Restricted cash and investments are restricted for the acquisition of vehicles and other specified uses under the rental car asset-backed note indenture and other agreements. A portion of these funds is restricted due to the like-kind exchange tax program for deferred tax gains on eligible vehicle remarketing. As permitted by the indenture, these funds are primarily held in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations. Restricted cash and investments are excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

3. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

Long-Term Incentive Plan

        At September 30, 2012, the Company's common stock authorized for issuance under the long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") for employees and non-employee directors was 2,726,312 shares. The Company has 1,168,546 shares available for future LTIP awards at September 30, 2012 after reserving for the

maximum potential shares that could be awarded under existing LTIP grants. The Company issues new shares from remaining authorized common stock to satisfy LTIP awards.

        Compensation cost for non-qualified option rights, performance shares and restricted stock awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted at the grant-date and is amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the stock awards, which are generally the vesting periods. The Company recognized compensation costs of $1.9 million and $5.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $1.0 million and $3.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, for such awards. The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of comprehensive income for share-based compensation payments was $0.6 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

        Option Rights Plan—Under the LTIP, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee may grant non-qualified option rights to key employees and non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares for which option rights may be granted under the LTIP to any participant during any calendar year is 285,000. No awards were granted in 2012 or 2011. The grant-date fair value of options vested during both the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1.6 million. No options vested during the three months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011. Expense is recognized over the service period which is the vesting period. No unrecognized expense for the options is remaining at September 30, 2012.

        The following table sets forth the non-qualified option rights activity under the LTIP for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled less than $0.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

        Performance Shares—Performance share awards, which may take the form of performance shares or performance units, are granted to Company officers and certain key employees. The maximum amount of performance share awards that may be granted under the LTIP during any year to any participant is 160,000 common shares. Compensation expense related to the performance shares is recognized over the vesting period.

        In February 2012, the Company granted 29,135 performance units related to the 2011 incentive compensation plan with a grant-date fair value of $76.17 per share. These performance units, which will settle in Company shares, will vest over the requisite service period with 25% vesting on December 31, 2012 and the remaining 75% vesting on December 31, 2013. The grant-date fair value for this award was based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant.

        In March 2011, the 2008 grant of performance shares earned from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010 totaling 73,000 shares, net of forfeitures, vested at 200% of the target award (total of approximately 146,000 shares) with a total intrinsic value to the recipients of approximately $3.5 million. The Company withheld approximately 52,000 of these shares for the payment of taxes owed by the recipients and designated the shares withheld as treasury shares.

        The following table presents the status of the Company's nonvested performance shares as of September 30, 2012 and any changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

Nonvested Shares

    280   $ 60.94  
           

        At September 30, 2012, the total compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards not yet recognized is estimated at approximately $8.0 million, based on the Company's expectation that it will meet or exceed the targets specified in the performance share agreement. This estimated compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.4 years. The total intrinsic value of vested and issued performance shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the intrinsic value of the nonvested performance share awards was $24.4 million.

        Restricted Stock Units—Under the LTIP, the Company may grant restricted stock units to key employees and non-employee directors. The grant-date fair value of the award is based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant.

        In January 2012, non-employee directors were granted 6,815 shares with a grant-date fair value of $73.42 per share that fully vest on December 31, 2012. The total intrinsic value of vested and issued restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, the total compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock unit awards not yet recognized is approximately $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock units.

        Vehicles purchased by vehicle rental companies under programs where either the rate of depreciation or the residual value is guaranteed by the manufacturer are referred to as "Program Vehicles." Vehicles not purchased under these programs and for which rental companies therefore bear residual value risk are referred to as "Non-Program Vehicles."

        Depreciation expense for Non-Program Vehicles, which constitute substantially all of the Company's fleet, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the vehicle, based on the original acquisition cost, the projected residual value at the time of sale, and the estimated length of time the vehicle will be in service. The Company's vehicle depreciation rates are periodically adjusted on a prospective basis when residual value assumptions change due to changes in used vehicle market conditions.

        The estimation of residual values requires the Company to make assumptions regarding the expected age and mileage of the vehicle at the time of disposal. Additionally, residual value estimates must also take into consideration overall used vehicle market conditions at the time of sale, including the impact of seasonality on vehicle residuals. The difference in residual values assumed and the proceeds realized upon sale of the vehicle is recorded as a gain or loss on the sale of the vehicle, and is recorded as a component of net vehicle depreciation and lease charges in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the combined weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of options. In computing diluted EPS, the Company utilizes the treasury stock method.

Diluted EPS

  $ 1.91   $ 2.13   $ 4.94   $ 4.03  
                   

        For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, all options to purchase shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted EPS because no exercise price was greater than the average per share market price of the common shares.

        Shares included in the diluted EPS calculation related to shares contingently issuable for stock options decreased on a year-over-year basis for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the denominator used in the diluted EPS calculation. To derive the denominator, the number of outstanding options is reduced by the number of shares that would be repurchased from assumed proceeds of certain defined items including the exercise price of the option and the excess tax benefit that would result from the assumed exercise of the option. However, the excess tax benefit component is included only if the assumed tax benefit would decrease the Company's current taxes payable. In 2012, the Company has projected that it will be a taxpayer and the tax benefit of the repurchases of shares from the assumed proceeds is incorporated into the diluted share calculation. The impact of the assumed tax benefit in 2012 is a reduction in diluted shares outstanding of approximately 500,000 shares. In 2011, the Company was not a taxpayer for federal income tax purposes and did not benefit from the tax deduction related to the assumed option exercises for purposes of the diluted share calculation, thus increasing the number of shares included in the diluted EPS calculation by approximately 800,000 shares. Other factors, such as the Company's stock price and stock options exercised, also impact the diluted EPS calculation.

The facility bears interest at a spread of 130 basis points above each funding institution's cost of funds, which may be based on either the weighted-average commercial paper rate, a floating one-month LIBOR rate or a Eurodollar rate. The Series 2010-3 VFN had an interest rate of 1.57% at September 30, 2012. The Series 2010-3 VFN also has a facility fee commitment rate of up to 0.8% per annum on any unused portion of the facility. The Series 2010-3 VFN requires compliance with a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million, consistent with the terms of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

Canadian Fleet Financing

        On March 9, 2012, the Company completed a CAD Series 2012-1 $150 million Canadian fleet securitization program (the "CAD Series 2012-1 notes"). This program has a term of two years and requires a program fee of 150 basis points above the one-month rate for Canadian dollar denominated bankers' acceptances or weighted average commercial paper rates, as well as a utilization fee of 65 basis points on the unused CAD Series 2012-1 amount. At September 30, 2012, CAD $70 million (US $71.2 million) of the CAD Series 2012-1 notes had been drawn. The CAD Series 2012-1 notes had an interest rate of 2.69% at September 30, 2012.

Revolving Credit Facility

        On February 16, 2012, the Company terminated the existing senior secured credit facility and replaced it with a new $450 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that expires in February 2017. Pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is grid-based with a spread above LIBOR that will range from 300 basis points to 350 basis points, based upon usage of the facility. Commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility will equal 50 basis points on unused capacity. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants including, among others, limitations on the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, make loans, acquisitions or other investments, grant liens on their respective property, dispose of assets, pay dividends or conduct stock repurchases, make capital expenditures or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

        Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has the ability (subject to specified conditions and limitations), among other things, to incur up to $400 million of unsecured indebtedness; to enter into permitted acquisitions of up to $250 million in the aggregate during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and to incur financing and assume indebtedness in connection therewith; to make investments in the Company's U.S. special-purpose financing entities (including RCFC) and its Canadian special-purpose financing entities, in aggregate amounts at any time outstanding of up to $750 million and $150 million, respectively; and to make dividend, stock repurchase and other restricted payments in an amount up to $300 million, plus 50% of cumulative adjusted net income (or minus 100% of cumulative adjusted net loss, as applicable) for the period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the restricted payment.

        The Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility of $0.1 million for U.S. enhancement and $40.8 million in general purpose letters of credit with a remaining available capacity of $409.1 million at September 30, 2012.

Covenant Compliance

        As of September 30, 2012, the Company is in compliance with all covenants under its various financing arrangements.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company is exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, and has historically entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage that risk. Additionally, some of the Company's debt facilities require interest rate cap agreements in order to limit the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates. The Company used interest rate swap agreements for asset-backed medium-term note issuances in 2007 to effectively convert variable interest rates to fixed interest rates; however, in late 2011, the Company terminated its 2007 swap agreements and paid a termination fee of $8.8 million to settle the outstanding liability. The remaining unamortized value of the hedge deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet was reclassified into earnings as interest expense through July 2012. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $0.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, were reclassified into earnings as interest expense. The Company has also used interest rate cap agreements for its Series 2010-3 VFN, to effectively limit the variable interest rate on a total of $600 million in asset-backed VFNs. These cap agreements have a termination date of July 2014. There were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        Financial instruments are presented at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. These categories include (in descending order of priority): Level 1, defined as observable inputs for identical instruments such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

(a)
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets consist primarily of equity securities. The Company also has an offsetting liability related to the Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not disclosed in the table as it is not independently measured at fair value, but rather is set to equal fair value of the assets held in the related rabbi trust.

        The fair value of derivative assets, consisting of interest rate caps as discussed above, is calculated using proprietary models utilizing observable inputs, as well as future assumptions related to interest rates, credit risk and other variables. These calculations are performed by the financial institutions that are counterparties to the applicable cap agreements and reported to the Company on a monthly basis. The Company uses these reported fair values to adjust the asset as appropriate. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the calculations by comparing similar calculations from other counterparties for the applicable period and performs back-testing through use of the look back approach to evaluate the fair value provided by the financial institutions. Deferred compensation plan assets consist of publicly traded securities and are valued in accordance with market quotations. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 measurements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or the 12 months ended December 31, 2011. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the period in which the event or change in

circumstances triggering the transfer occurs. The Company had no Level 3 financial instruments at any time during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or the 12 months ended December 31, 2011.

        The following estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies described below.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Investments—Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and are comprised primarily of bank deposits, commercial paper and money market funds. The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts that may not be federally insured.

        Receivables and Accounts Payable—The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

        Debt and Other Obligations—The fair values of the debt traded on the secondary markets were developed utilizing a market approach based on observable inputs from similar debt arrangements and from information regarding the trading of the Company's debt in non-active secondary markets and, thus, the debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's other debt is not traded, including floating rate debt for which the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of the fair value, as well as fixed rate debt for which the fair values were estimated utilizing an income approach based on discount rates derived from other comparable issuances that include certain unobservable inputs. The non-traded debt is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A portion of the Company's debt is denominated in Canadian dollars, and its carrying value is impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. However, this foreign currency risk is mitigated by the underlying collateral, which is the Company's Canadian fleet.

Share Repurchase Program

        In September 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had increased authorization under the share repurchase program to $400 million. The share repurchase program is discretionary and has no expiration date. Subject to applicable law, the Company may repurchase shares through forward stock repurchase agreements, accelerated stock buyback programs, directly in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to derivative instruments or plans complying with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 10b5-1, among other types of

transactions and arrangements. The share repurchase program may be increased, suspended or discontinued at any time.

        During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 22,494 shares or approximately $1.8 million of its common stock under the share repurchase program at an average price of $79.74 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 1,821,137 shares or approximately $129.1 million ($100 million of which was pre-funded in November 2011 under a forward stock repurchase agreement) of its common stock under this share repurchase program at an average price of $70.91 per share. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $271 million remained available for further purchases of the Company's common stock under this share repurchase program. Share repurchases are subject to applicable limitations under the Revolving Credit Facility, which as of September 30, 2012, permitted additional share repurchases totaling approximately $344 million.

        The cash flow hedge amount deferred into AOCI is related to the derivatives used to manage the interest rate risk, associated with the Company's vehicle-related debt, which was terminated and is being recognized into earnings along with the interest payments the derivatives were designated to hedge. See Note 8 for further discussion.

11. INCOME TAXES

        The Company has provided for income taxes on consolidated taxable income using a consolidated effective tax rate which reflects the utilization of Canadian tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards to the extent of Canadian taxable income. A full valuation allowance had previously been recorded against the Canadian NOLs due to losses in the Canadian operations. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred income tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

        The Company utilizes a like-kind exchange program for its vehicles whereby tax basis gains on disposal of eligible revenue-earning vehicles are deferred for purposes of U.S. federal and state income

11. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

tax (the "Like-Kind Exchange Program"). To qualify for Like-Kind Exchange Program treatment, the Company exchanges (through a qualified intermediary) vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being purchased allowing the Company to carry-over the tax basis of vehicles sold to replacement vehicles, thereby deferring taxable gains from vehicle dispositions. In addition, the Company has historically elected to utilize accelerated or "bonus" depreciation methods on its vehicle inventories in order to defer its cash liability for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company's ability to continue to defer the reversal of prior period tax deferrals will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the Company's fleet, as well as the availability of accelerated depreciation methods in future years. Accordingly, the Company may make material cash federal income tax payments in future periods. Based on existing tax law, the Company expects to be a cash taxpayer in 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received a tax refund of $8.8 million due to overpayments of the excess estimated tax payments made in 2011, and paid $29 million in estimated federal taxes for 2012.

        For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the overall effective tax rate of 37.6% and 38.1%, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the overall effective tax rate of 37.1% and 39.1%, respectively, differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state and local taxes and the operating results of DTG Canada for which no income tax expense was recorded due to the utilization of prior NOL carryforwards for which no benefit had previously been recognized due to valuation allowance.

        As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits. There are no material tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the 12 months subsequent to September 30, 2012.

        The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the Company's significant tax jurisdictions, the tax years 2009 and later are subject to examination by U.S. federal taxing authorities and the tax years 2008 and later are subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities.

        The Company accrues interest and penalties on underpayment of income taxes related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. No material amounts were recognized for interest and penalties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        There have been no material changes to the Commitments and Contingencies Note 14 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus, with the exception of the following:

Vehicle Insurance Reserves

        The Company records reserves for its public liability and property damage exposure using actuarially-based loss estimates, which are updated semi-annually in June and December of each year.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

In June 2011, the Company began semi-annual updates for supplemental liability insurance, as such reserves had been previously updated on an annual basis in December. As a result of favorable overall claims loss development, the Company recorded favorable insurance reserve adjustments, which effectively represents revision to previous estimates of vehicle insurance charges, of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Contingencies

        The following recent developments pertaining to legal proceedings described in the Company's Form 10-K are furnished on a supplemental basis:

        On March 2, 2012, the appellate court in Susan and Jeffrey Dillon v. DTG Operations, Inc. d/b/a Thrifty Car Rental (Case No. 09CH34874, Cook County Circuit Court, Chancery Division, Illinois) upheld the lower court's ruling in favor of the Company. The Plaintiffs did not seek a rehearing or further appeals, and this action has been dismissed.

        On September 20, 2012, plaintiffs in Henzel v. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., et al. (Consolidated Case No. CJ-2010-02761, Dist. Ct. Tulsa County, Oklahoma) filed a dismissal without prejudice and have indicated they will not seek recovery of attorney fees.

        On September 21, 2012, plaintiffs in Re: Dollar Thrifty Shareholder Litigation (Consolidated Case No. 5458-VCS, Delaware Court of Chancery) filed a stipulation and proposed order and proposed final judgment, which, if approved by the Court upon notice to the certified class, would dismiss the case as moot and without payment of attorney fees. The hearing on the proposed dismissal is scheduled in November 2012.

        Aside from the above and the item discussed in Note 15, none of the other legal proceedings described in the Company's Form 10-K have experienced material changes.

        Various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings have been in the past, or may be in the future, asserted or instituted against the Company, including other purported class actions or proceedings relating to the Hertz transaction terminated in October 2010 and some that may demand large monetary damages or other relief which could result in significant expenditures. The Company is also subject to potential liability related to environmental matters. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and environmental matters when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. The term "reasonably possible" is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than probable. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of previously accrued reserves and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of a further loss and the estimated amount of the loss. With respect to outstanding litigation and environmental matters, based on current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate,

have a material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

Other

        In June 2012, the Company executed a vehicle supply agreement with Chrysler Group LLC ("Chrysler Group") for a three-year term beginning with program year 2013 (August 1, 2012) and ending at the end of program year 2015 (July 31, 2015), that will allow the Company to source a portion of its vehicle purchases, with certain minimum volumes, through Chrysler Group. Volume requirements may be modified by mutual agreement between the Company and Chrysler Group.

13. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS" ("ASU 2011-04"), which amends U.S. GAAP to converge U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards by changing the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012, as required (see Note 9 for required disclosures).

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income—Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. It requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05" ("ASU 2011-12") to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012, as required (see condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and Note 10 for required disclosures).

        In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11") to amend the requirement for an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and

interim periods within those annual periods. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013, as required, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

14. PROPOSED ACQUISITION AND RELATED MATTERS

        On August 26, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz") and HDTMS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz ("Merger Sub"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both Hertz and the Company, following consummation of the Offer (hereinafter defined) and subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders if required by applicable law, Merger Sub will be merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company, with the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz.

        The Merger Agreement provides that the acquisition will be effected first through a tender offer by Merger Sub (the "Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Shares") for $87.50 per Share (the "Offer Price"), net to the seller in cash and without any interest thereon, followed by the second-step Merger.

        Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company has granted Merger Sub an irrevocable one-time option (the "Top-Up Option") to purchase, at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price, an aggregate number of newly issued Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Hertz and its subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, at the time of such exercise, constitutes one Share more than 90% of the Shares then outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares on a fully diluted basis, subject to there being no legal restraint and sufficient authorized Shares available for issuance. The Top-Up Option is exercisable only after Shares have been accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer and Merger Sub irrevocably committing to effect the second-step Merger as soon as practicable after the exercise of the Top-Up Option.

        The consummation of the Offer is subject to certain conditions, including among others, the following: (1) the Company's stockholders shall have validly tendered in the Offer the number of Shares which, when taken together with any Shares owned by Hertz and its subsidiaries, represents a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis and (2) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting periods required pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). The Offer and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any financing condition.

        The Merger Agreement also provides that, with respect to obtaining antitrust approval of the acquisition, Hertz is required to: (1) divest its Advantage brand, together with certain additional assets and airport concessions pursuant to a proposed consent agreement currently under discussion between Hertz and the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), (2) take other actions which, individually or in the aggregate, are of a de minimis nature and (3) contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding challenging the acquisition while the Merger Agreement is in effect. At any time after December 31, 2012, both the Company and Hertz may terminate the Merger Agreement if the FTC

has not preliminarily accepted the proposed consent agreement and the waiting period under the HSR Act has not expired or been terminated.

        The Merger Agreement includes customary termination provisions for both the Company and Hertz and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, the Company and Hertz must reimburse the other party for its transaction expenses, subject to certain limitations.

        Effective August 26, 2012, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company's board of directors approved a Second Amendment to Rights Agreement (the "Amendment"), dated as of August 26, 2012, amending the Rights Agreement ("Rights Agreement") between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent, dated as of May 18, 2011 and amended on February 17, 2012.

        The Amendment, among other things, renders the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the Merger, the Offer, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Amendment provides that the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not be deemed to result in either Hertz or Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates or associates becoming an "Acquiring Person" (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement). In addition, the Amendment provides that none of a "Share Acquisition Date," a "Distribution Date," a "Flip-in Event" or a "Flip-over Event" (each as defined in the Rights Agreement) shall occur, and that the "Rights" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) will not separate from the Shares, in each case, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Amendment also provides that the Rights Agreement shall terminate and all outstanding Rights shall expire immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), but only if the Acceptance Time shall have occurred. If the Merger Agreement is subsequently terminated, the changes to the Rights Agreement pursuant to the Amendment will be of no further force and effect.

        On September 10, 2012, Hertz filed with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and the Company filed with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 regarding the Offer. The Offer originally had an expiration date of October 5, 2012; however, Hertz extended the Offer, which will now expire on November 16, 2012, unless further extended.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed events that have occurred after September 30, 2012 through the issuance of the financial statements. The Company noted no reportable subsequent events other than the subsequent events noted below.

        In October 2012, the Company executed a vehicle purchase agreement with General Motors LLC ("GM") for the 2013 program year that will allow the Company to source through GM a portion of its vehicle purchases, subject to certain minimum volumes and to requirements applicable to the mix of

models purchased. Volume requirements may be modified by mutual agreement between the Company and GM.

        In November 2012, the Court approved the final settlement, ordered the parties to effectuate the settlement agreement according to its terms and dismissed the case on the merits, all in the case of Michael Shames; Gary Gramkow, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of all persons similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Avis Budget Group, Inc., Vanguard Car Rental USA, Inc., Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, Fox Rent-A-Car, Inc., Coast Leasing Corp., The California Travel and Tourism Commission and Caroline Beteta (No. 07 CV 2174 H BLM (S.D. Cal.).

16. GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        In November 2012, the Company was acquired by a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of The Hertz Corporation ("THC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. In February 2013 and March 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were added as guarantors under certain of THC's debt instruments and credit facilities.

        The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, of (a) the Company and those of its subsidiaries that guarantee the indebtedness of THC, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries; (b) the subsidiaries of the Company that do not guarantee THC's indebtedness, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; (c) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Guarantor Subsidiaries with the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; and of (d) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

        Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been provided, as the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by THC and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under THC's Senior Credit Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of THC's general creditors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. ("DTG") is the successor to Pentastar Transportation Group, Inc. Prior to December 23, 1997, DTG was a wholly owned subsidiary of Chrysler LLC (such entity or its successor entity, Chrysler Group LLC, as the context may require, and the relevant entity's subsidiaries and members of its affiliated group are hereinafter referred to as "Chrysler"). On December 23, 1997, DTG completed an initial public offering of all its outstanding common stock owned by Chrysler together with additional shares issued by DTG.

        The Company operates under a corporate structure that combines the management of operations and administrative functions for both the Dollar and Thrifty brands. Management makes business and operating decisions on an overall company basis. Financial results are not available by brand.

        DTG's significant wholly owned subsidiaries include DTG Operations, Inc., Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., Thrifty, Inc. and Rental Car Finance Corp. ("RCFC"). Thrifty, Inc. is the parent company of Thrifty Car Sales, Inc. and Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc., which is the parent company of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Canada Inc. ("DTG Canada"). RCFC is a special purpose financing entity, which was formed in 1995 and is appropriately consolidated with DTG and subsidiaries. RCFC is a separate legal entity whose assets are not available to satisfy any claims of creditors of DTG or any of its other subsidiaries. The term the "Company" is used to refer to DTG, individually or collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require. Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., the Dollar brand and DTG Operations, Inc. operating under the Dollar brand are individually and collectively referred to hereinafter as "Dollar". Thrifty, Inc., Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc., Thrifty Car Sales, Inc., the Thrifty brand and DTG Operations, Inc. operating under the Thrifty brand are individually and collectively referred to hereinafter as "Thrifty". Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        Nature of Business—The Company operates in the U.S. and Canada, and through its Dollar and Thrifty brands is primarily engaged in the business of the daily rental of vehicles to business and leisure customers through company-owned stores. The Company also sells vehicle rental franchises worldwide and provides sales and marketing, reservations, data processing systems, insurance and other services to franchisees. RCFC provides vehicle financing to the Company.

        Estimates—The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit, including highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—Required Minimum Balance—In 2009, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facilities (hereinafter defined). Under the terms of that amendment, the Company was required to maintain a minimum of $100 million at all times. In February 2011, the Company further amended its Senior Secured Credit Facilities, eliminating the requirement to maintain a minimum of $100 million of cash and cash equivalents and replacing it with certain other covenants.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Restricted Cash and Investments—Restricted cash and investments are restricted for the acquisition of vehicles and other specified uses under the rental car asset-backed note indenture and other agreements (Note 8). A portion of these funds is restricted due to the Like-Kind Exchange Program (hereinafter defined) for deferred tax gains on eligible vehicle remarketing. As permitted by the indenture, these funds are primarily held in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations. Restricted cash and investments are excluded from cash and cash equivalents. Interest earned on restricted cash and investments was $0.4 million, $0.7 million and $3.2 million, for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and remains in restricted cash and investments.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, cash and cash equivalents—required minimum balance, restricted cash and investments, interest rate swaps and caps, vehicle manufacturer receivables and trade receivables. The Company limits its exposure on cash and cash equivalents, cash and cash equivalents—required minimum balance and restricted cash and investments by investing in Aaa or P-1 rated funds and short-term time deposits with a diverse group of high quality financial institutions. The Company's exposure relating to interest rate swaps and caps is mitigated by diversifying the financial instruments among various counterparties, which consist of major financial institutions. Receivables from vehicle manufacturers consist primarily of amounts due under guaranteed residual, buyback, incentive and promotion programs. The Company's financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if one or more of its primary vehicle manufacturers were unable to meet their obligations to the Company. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas. Additionally, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk through performing credit reviews and monitoring the financial strength of its significant accounts.

        Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—An allowance for doubtful accounts is generally established during the period in which receivables are recorded. The allowance is maintained at a level deemed appropriate based on loss experience and other factors affecting collectability.

        Financing Issue Costs—Financing issue costs related to vehicle debt and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method.

        Revenue-Earning Vehicles and Related Vehicle Depreciation Expense—Revenue-earning vehicles are stated at cost, net of related discounts. At December 31, 2011, Non-Program Vehicles accounted for approximately 96% of the Company's total fleet.

        The Company must estimate the expected residual values of Non-Program Vehicles at the expected time of disposal to determine monthly depreciation rates. The estimation of residual values requires the Company to make assumptions regarding the age and mileage of the car at the time of disposal, as well as the general used vehicle market conditions at the time of sale, including the impact of seasonality on vehicle residuals. The Company evaluates estimated residual values at least quarterly, and adjusts depreciation rates accordingly, on a prospective basis. Differences between actual residual values and

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

those estimated by the Company result in a gain or loss on disposal and are recorded as an adjustment to depreciation expense. Actual timing of disposal either shorter or longer than the life used for depreciation purposes could result in a loss or gain on sale. Vehicle rental companies bear residual value risk for these vehicles, which are referred to as "Non-Program Vehicles". Generally, the average holding term for Non-Program Vehicles is approximately 18 to 22 months.

        The Company is required to depreciate the vehicle according to the terms of the guaranteed depreciation or repurchase program ("Program Vehicles") and in doing so is guaranteed to receive the full net book value in proceeds upon the sale of the vehicle. In some cases, the sales proceeds are received directly from auctions, with any shortfall in value being paid by the vehicle manufacturer. With certain other vehicle manufacturers, the entire balance of proceeds from vehicle sales comes directly from the manufacturer. In either case, the Company bears the risk of collectability on the receivable from the vehicle manufacturer. The Company monitors its vehicle manufacturer receivables based on time outstanding, manufacturer strength and length of the relationship. Generally, the average holding term for Program Vehicles is approximately six to eight months.

        Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using principally the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives generally range from ten to 30 years for buildings and improvements and one to seven years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or leases, whichever is shorter.

        Software—Software is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method generally ranging from three to five years. The remaining useful life of software is evaluated annually to assess whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period.

        Website Development Costs—The Company capitalizes qualifying internal-use software development, including Website development, incurred subsequent to the completion of the preliminary project stage. Development costs are amortized over the shorter of the expected useful life of the software or five years. Costs related to planning, maintenance, and minor upgrades are expensed as incurred.

        Long-Lived Assets—The Company reviews the value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based upon estimated future cash flows and records an impairment charge, equaling the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value, if the carrying value exceeds estimated future cash flows.

        Accounts Payable—Book overdrafts of $19.0 million and $17.0 million, which represent outstanding checks not yet presented to the bank, are included in accounts payable to reflect the Company's outstanding obligations at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts do not represent bank overdrafts, which would constitute checks presented in excess of cash on hand, and would be effectively a loan to the Company.

        Derivative Instruments—The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value and changes in the derivatives' fair value are recognized

currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company has entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements, which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, the changes in the interest rate swap and cap agreements' fair values have been recognized as an (increase) decrease in fair value of derivatives in the consolidated statements of income. The Company has also entered into interest rate swap agreements which constituted cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (Note 9). All cash flows associated with cash flow hedges are classified in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

        Vehicle Insurance Reserves—Provisions for public liability and property damage and supplemental liability insurance ("SLI") on self-insured claims are made by charges to direct vehicle and operating expense. Accruals for such charges are based upon actuarially determined evaluations of estimated ultimate liabilities on reported and unreported claims, prepared on a semi-annual basis. Historical data related to the amount and timing of payments for self-insured claims is utilized in preparing the actuarial evaluations. The accrual for public liability and property damage claims is discounted based upon the actuarially determined estimated timing of payments to be made in the future. The Company records expense related to public liability and property damage and SLI on a monthly basis based on rental volume and projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs that are derived from historical accident claim experience and trends. Management reviews the actual timing of payments as compared with the semi-annual actuarial estimate of timing of payments and has determined that there has been no material differences in the timing of payments for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Because of less predictability in the estimated timing of payments, self-insured reserves for SLI are not discounted.

        Foreign Currency Translation—Foreign assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and results of operations are translated using an average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are accumulated and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

        Revenue Recognition—Revenues from vehicle rentals are recognized as earned on a daily basis under the related rental contracts with customers. Revenues from leasing vehicles to franchisees are principally under operating leases with fixed monthly payments and are recognized ratably as earned over the lease terms. Revenues from fees and services include providing sales and marketing, reservations, information systems and other services to franchisees. Revenues from these services are generally based on a percentage of franchisee rental revenue or upon providing reservations and are recognized as earned on a monthly basis. Initial franchise fees are recognized upon substantial completion of all material services and conditions of the franchise sale, which coincides with the date of sale and commencement of operations by the franchisee.

        Advertising Costs—Advertising costs are primarily expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $20.1 million, $20.9 million and $21.2 million, for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Environmental Costs—The Company's operations include the storage of gasoline in underground storage tanks at certain company-owned stores. Liabilities incurred in connection with the remediation of accidental fuel discharges are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Operating Leases—

        Contingent Rent—The Company recognizes contingent rent expense associated with certain airport concession agreements monthly as incurred when the Company's achievement of the annual targeted qualifying revenue is probable.

        Scheduled Rent Increases—The Company recognizes scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

        Income Taxes—The Company has provided for income taxes on its separate taxable income or loss and other tax attributes. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred income tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. The Company has established a valuation allowance related to DTG Canada and a portion of the Company's net operating losses for state tax purposes. The Company evaluates its tax policies quarterly to identify uncertain tax positions.

        Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of options. In computing diluted EPS, the Company utilizes the treasury stock method.

        Stock-Based Compensation—The Company uses the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. All performance share, restricted stock and stock option awards are accounted for using the fair value-based method for the 2011, 2010 and 2009 periods. The fair value of these common shares is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares at the specific date on which the shares were granted. In 2011 and 2010, the Company did not issue any stock options. In 2009, the Company issued approximately 1,120,000 stock options at a weighted average grant-date fair value per share of $4.44.

New Accounting Standards—

        In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2010-06, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" which amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASU 2010-06") to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation

techniques used to measure fair value. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 regarding disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 as required on January 1, 2010 and adopted the remaining provisions of ASU 2010-06 regarding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements as required on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this latest provision had no impact on the Company's financial statements as the Company has no Level 3 measurements.

        In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS" ("ASU 2011-04"), which amends U.S. GAAP to converge U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") by changing the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012, as required, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income—Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. It requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05," to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012, as required.

        In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11") to amend the requirement for an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013, as required, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

        The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS is shown in the following table:

 
  Year Ended December 31,  
 
  2011   2010   2009  
 
  (In Thousands, Except Share and Per

    1,913,783     1,226,089     762,673  

Performance awards and non-vested shares

    94,261     125,225     255,775  

Employee compensation shares deferred

    47,232     49,374     105,402  

Director compensation shares deferred

    220,778     221,485     155,611  
               

Shares applicable to diluted

    31,241,241     30,245,281     23,966,538  
               

Diluted EPS

  $ 5.11   $ 4.34   $ 1.88  
               

        At December 31, 2011 and 2010, all options to purchase shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted EPS because no exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. At December 31, 2009, 356,970 outstanding common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

        Although there have been no significant equity grants since 2010, shares included in the diluted EPS calculation increased on a year-over-year basis from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the denominator used in the diluted EPS calculation. To derive the denominator, the number of outstanding options is reduced by the number of shares that would be repurchased from assumed proceeds of certain defined items including the exercise price of the option and the excess tax benefit that would result from the assumed exercise of the option. However, the excess tax benefit component is included only if the assumed tax benefit would decrease the Company's current taxes payable. Since the Company is not a taxpayer for federal income tax purposes in 2011, it does not benefit from the tax deduction related to the assumed option exercises for purposes of the diluted share calculation as it did in 2010, thus resulting in an increase in the dilutive EPS denominator of approximately 700,000 shares. When the Company becomes a taxpayer in the future, the tax benefit will be incorporated into the diluted share calculation and the shares included in the diluted EPS calculation will be reduced by the shares repurchased from the assumed proceeds; however, other factors, such as the Company's stock price, could impact the diluted EPS calculation. See Note 13 for further discussion of share repurchase program.

Asset-Backed Medium-Term Notes

        Asset-backed medium-term notes were issued by RCFC in October 2011 (the "Series 2011-2 notes"), July 2011 (the "Series 2011-1 notes"), May 2007 (the "Series 2007-1 notes") and March 2006 (the "Series 2006-1 notes").

        The Series 2011-2 notes of $400 million were issued at a fixed interest rate of 3.21% and will be repaid monthly over a six-month period, beginning in December 2014, with an expected final maturity date of May 2015. At December 31, 2011, the Series 2011-2 notes required compliance with a maximum leverage ratio of 2.25 to 1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, consistent with the terms of the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities. These financial covenants were modified in connection with the Company's entry into the New Revolving Credit Facility. See below for further discussion.

        The Series 2011-1 notes are comprised of $420 million principal amount of Series 2011-1 Class A Notes with a fixed interest rate of 2.51% and $80 million principal amount of Series 2011-1 Class B Notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.38%. On a blended basis, the average annual coupon on the combined $500 million principal amount of the Series 2011-1 notes is approximately 2.81%. The Series 2011-1 notes will be repaid monthly over a six-month period, beginning in September 2014, with an expected final maturity date in February 2015.

8. DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS (Continued)

        The Series 2007-1 notes will begin scheduled amortization in February 2012, and will amortize over a six-month period with an expected final maturity date in July 2012. The Series 2007-1 notes are insured by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company ("FGIC"). The Series 2007-1 notes are floating rate notes that were previously effectively converted to fixed rate notes through entry into swap agreements. At December 31, 2011, the Series 2007-1 notes had an interest rate of 0.4%. On December 28, 2011, the Company paid $8.8 million to terminate its 2007 swap agreements.

        The Series 2006-1 notes began scheduled amortization in December 2010 and were paid in full in May 2011.

        The assets of RCFC, including revenue-earning vehicles related to the asset-backed medium-term notes, restricted cash and investments, and certain receivables related to revenue-earning vehicles, are available to satisfy the claims of its creditors. Dollar and Thrifty lease vehicles from RCFC under the terms of certain master lease and servicing agreements. The asset-backed note indentures also provide for additional credit enhancement through over collateralization of the vehicle fleet, cash or letters of credit and/or maintenance of a liquidity reserve. RCFC is in compliance with the terms of the indentures.

Variable Funding Notes

        The Series 2010-1 variable funding note ("VFN") of $200 million and the Series 2010-2 VFN of $300 million were both terminated in October of 2011.

        On September 29, 2011, RCFC renewed the Series 2010-3 VFN, increasing the capacity from $450 million to $600 million and extending the revolving period from the previous 364-day structure to two years. The facility bears interest at a spread of 130 basis points above each funding institution's cost of funds, which may be based on either the weighted-average commercial paper rate, a floating one-month LIBOR rate or a Eurodollar rate. The Series 2010-3 VFN was undrawn at December 31, 2011. The Series 2010-3 VFN has a facility fee commitment rate of up to 0.8% per annum on any unused portion of the facility. At the end of the revolving period, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Series 2010-3 VFN will be repaid monthly over a three-month period, beginning in October 2013, with the final payment in December 2013. At December 31, 2011, the Series 2010-3 VFN required compliance with a maximum leverage ratio of 2.25 to 1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, consistent with the terms of the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities. These financial covenants were modified in connection with the Company's entry into the New Revolving Credit Facility. See below for further discussion.

Canadian Fleet Financing

        On April 18, 2011, due to the Company's excess cash position and the cost differential between the interest rate on its Canadian fleet financing and interest rates earned on investment of excess cash, the Company fully repaid the outstanding balance of CAD $54.0 million (US $56.0 million) and terminated the CAD Series 2010 Program. During the remainder of 2011, the Company funded any Canadian fleet needs with cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Direct investments in the Canadian fleet funded from cash and cash equivalents totaled CAD $64.9 million (US $63.5 million) as of December 31, 2011.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

        At December 31, 2011, the senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"), which were refinanced and terminated in February 2012, were comprised of a $231.3 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") as the term loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was repaid at $143.1 million and terminated in August 2011.

        The Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility of $144.3 million for U.S. enhancement and $54.7 million in general purpose enhancements, with remaining available capacity of $32.3 million at December 31, 2011.

        On February 16, 2012, the Company terminated the existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities and replaced it with a new $450 million revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") that expires in February 2017. Pricing under the New Revolving Credit Facility is grid based with a spread above LIBOR that will range from 300 basis points to 350 basis points, based upon usage of the facility. Commitment fees under the New Revolving Credit Facility will equal 50 basis points on unused capacity. Under the New Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0, and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million. In addition, the New Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants restricting its ability to undertake certain activities, including, among others, restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, make loans, acquisitions or other investments, grant liens on its property, dispose of assets, pay dividends or conduct stock repurchases, make capital expenditures or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

        Under the New Revolving Credit Facility, certain restrictions were relaxed or extended from the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, including the Company's ability, subject to certain limitations, to make dividend, share repurchase and other restricted payments under the New Revolving Credit Facility, in an amount up to $300 million, plus 50% of cumulative adjusted net income (or minus 100% of cumulative adjusted net loss, as applicable) for the period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the restricted payment.

Covenant Compliance

        The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its financing arrangements as of December 31, 2011.

        During 2011, the Company paid $14.8 million in financing issuance costs primarily related to the issuance of its Series 2011-1 notes and the renewal of the Series 2010-3 VFN.

        Expected maturities of debt and other obligations outstanding at December 31, 2011 are as follows:

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company is exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, and has entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage that risk. Additionally, some of the Company's debt facilities require interest rate cap agreements in order to limit the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates. Consequently, the Company manages the financial exposure as part of its risk management program by striving to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the financial markets may have on the Company's operating results. The Company used interest rate swap agreements for asset-backed medium-term note issuances in 2007, to effectively convert variable interest rates on a total of $500 million in asset-backed medium-term notes to fixed interest rates. On December 28, 2011, the Company terminated its 2007 swap agreements and paid a termination fee of $8.8 million to settle the outstanding liability, which is disclosed in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The remaining unamortized value of the hedge in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt through July 2012. The Company has also used interest rate cap agreements for its 2010-3 VFN, to effectively limit the variable interest rate on a total of $600 million in asset-backed VFNs. This cap has a termination date of July 2014. The Series 2010-1 VFN and Series 2010-2 VFN interest rate cap agreements were terminated in December 2011 following the termination of the related debt facilities.

Additionally, $0.4 million, net of tax, was reclassified from AOCI related to the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge during 2011.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        Financial instruments are presented at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. These categories include (in descending order of priority): Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets consist primarily of equity securities. The Company also has an offsetting liability related to the Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not disclosed in the table as it is not independently measured at fair value, but rather is set to equal fair value of the assets held in the related rabbi trust.

        The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of interest rate swaps and caps as discussed above, is calculated using proprietary models utilizing observable inputs, as well as future assumptions related to interest rates, credit risk and other variables. These calculations are performed by the financial institutions that are counterparties to the applicable swap and cap agreements and reported to the Company on a monthly basis. The Company uses these reported fair values to adjust the asset or liability as appropriate. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the calculations by comparing similar calculations from other counterparties for the applicable period and performs back-testing through use of the look back approach to evaluate the fair value provided by the financial institutions. Deferred compensation plan assets consist of publicly traded securities and are valued in accordance with market quotations. The Company had no Level 3 financial instruments at any time during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

        The following estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents, Cash and Cash EquivalentsRequired Minimum Balance, Restricted Cash and Investments, Receivables, Accounts Payable, Accrued Liabilities and Vehicle Insurance Reserves—The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts that may not be federally insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

        Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds—The letters of credit and surety bonds of $203.1 million and $47.4 million, respectively, have no fair value as they support the Company's corporate operations and are not anticipated to be drawn upon.

        Debt and Other Obligations—The fair values of the asset-backed medium-term notes were developed using a valuation model that utilizes current market and industry conditions, assumptions related to the financial insurers providing financial guaranty policies on those notes and the limited market liquidity for such notes. Additionally, the fair value of the Term Loan was similarly developed using a valuation model and current market conditions.

        Compensation cost for non-qualified option rights, performance shares and restricted stock awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted at the grant-date and is amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the stock awards, which are generally the vesting periods. The Company recognized compensation costs of $4.1 million, $4.8 million and $6.2 million during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for such awards. The Company deems a tax benefit to be realized when the benefit provides incremental benefit by reducing current taxes payable that it otherwise would have had to pay absent the share-based compensation deduction (the "with-and-without" approach). Under this approach, share-based compensation deductions are, effectively, always considered last to be realized. The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of income for share-based compensation payments was $1.6 million, $1.9 million and $2.7 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

        Option Rights Plan—Under the LTIP, the Committee may grant non-qualified option rights to key employees and non-employee directors. The exercise prices for non-qualified option rights are equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The non-qualified option rights have a term not exceeding ten years from the date of grant. The maximum number of shares for which option rights may be granted under the LTIP to any participant during any calendar year is 285,000.

        During 2011 and 2010, there were no stock option awards granted. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the 2009 stock option awards at the date of the grant. The Company used the simplified method to estimate the weighted-average expected life of the options granted. The Company used a blended volatility rate that combines market-based measures of implied volatility with historical price volatility as the most appropriate indicator of the Company's expected price volatility in 2009. The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity approximately equal to the expected life at the time of grant. The expected dividend payments were zero as the Company has not paid cash dividends since completion of its initial public offering. The assumptions used to calculate compensation expense relating to the stock option awards granted during 2009 were as follows: weighted-average expected life of the awards of five years, expected price volatility factor of 80.24%, risk-free interest rate of 2.36% and no dividend payments. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options issued in 2009 was $4.44. The options issued in May 2009 vest in installments over three years with 20% exercisable in each of 2010 and 2011 and the remaining 60% exercisable in 2012. The total fair value of options vested during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $4.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized expense remaining for the options at December 31, 2011, was $0.2 million and will be recognized through April 2012.

        The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $38.1 million, $3.8 million, and $0.6 million, respectively. Total cash received by the Company for non-qualified option rights exercised during 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $4.8 million, $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

        Performance Shares—Performance share awards, which may take the form of performance shares or performance units, are granted to Company officers and certain key employees. The maximum amount of performance share awards that may be granted under the LTIP during any year to any participant is 160,000 common shares. Values of the performance shares earned are recognized as compensation expense over the period the shares are earned.

        In December 2011, a target number of performance units was granted with a grant-date fair value of $69.58. The grant-date fair value for the awards was based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. These performance units, which will settle in Company shares, will vest over a three-year requisite service period following the grant date with 25% vesting on December 31, 2013 and the remaining 75% vesting on December 31, 2014. The number of performance units ultimately earned will depend upon the level of corporate performance against a pre-established target in 2012. In December 2010, a target number of performance units was granted with a grant-date fair value of $47.13. The grant-date fair value for the awards was based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. These performance units, which will settle in Company shares, will vest over a three-year requisite service period following the grant date with 25% vesting on December 31, 2012 and the remaining 75% vesting on December 31, 2013. Based upon the level of corporate performance against a pre-established target in 2011, approximately 122,000 performance units were earned, subject to vesting requirements. No awards were granted in 2009.

        Performance share awards earned are settled based upon vesting of the grant, provided the grantee is then employed by the Company. Following completion of the performance period, for instances of retirement, involuntary termination without cause, disability or death, performance share awards vest on a pro-rata basis in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Any performance share award installments not earned at the end of the requisite service period are forfeited. In March 2011, the 2008 grant of performance shares earned from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010 totaling 73,000 shares, net of forfeitures, vested at 200% of the target award (total of approximately 146,000 shares) with a total value to the recipients of approximately $3.5 million. The Company withheld approximately 52,000 of these shares for the payment of taxes owed by the recipients and designated the shares withheld as treasury shares. In March 2010, 36,000 performance shares, net of forfeitures, from the 2007 grant earned from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009 and the 2008 grant of performance shares for a retired employee vested with a total value to the recipients of approximately $1.7 million. The Company withheld approximately 12,000 of these shares for the payment of taxes owed by the recipients, and designated the shares withheld as treasury shares. In March 2009, the 2006 grant of performance shares earned from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008 and the 2007 and 2008 grants of performance shares for terminated employees, net of forfeitures, totaling 64,000 shares vested, were settled through the issuance of common stock totaling approximately $2.5 million. No shares were used for net settlement to offset taxes in 2009.

        At December 31, 2011, the total compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards not yet recognized is estimated at approximately $11.0 million, depending upon the Company's performance against targets specified in the performance share agreement. This estimated compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The total intrinsic value of vested and issued performance shares during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $7.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the intrinsic value of the nonvested performance share awards was $18.4 million.

        Restricted Stock Units—Under the LTIP, the Committee may grant restricted stock units to key employees and non-employee directors. The grant-date fair value of the award is based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

        In January 2011, non-employee directors were granted 9,330 shares with a grant-date fair value of $48.24 per share that vested on December 31, 2011. In January 2010, non-employee directors were granted 17,800 shares with a grant-date fair value of $25.28, which vested on December 31, 2010. In January 2009, non-employee directors were granted 95,812 shares with a grant-date fair value of $1.23 and 56,910 shares that had the right to receive cash payments at the settlement date price, which vested on December 31, 2009. The weighted average grant-date fair value of shares granted in 2009, to non-employee and employee directors, was $2.33. In 2009, compensation costs included $1.5 million related to liability-based restricted stock units, based on director elections. The Committee generally grants restricted stock units to non-employee directors. These grants generally vest at the end of the fiscal year in which the grants were made.

        An employee director was granted 50,000 shares in May 2009 with a grant-date fair value of $4.44 per share that vest in installments over three years with 20% vesting in each of 2010 and 2011 and the remaining 60% vesting in 2012. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, an employee director was issued 30,057, 30,053 and 20,053 restricted stock units that vested during the year, respectively. In 2011, of the 30,057 restricted stock units, 5,616 shares were used for net settlement to offset taxes, and designated the shares withheld as treasury shares. In 2010, of the 30,053 restricted stock units, 6,991 shares were used for net settlement to offset taxes, and designated the shares withheld as treasury shares. The total intrinsic value of vested and issued restricted stock units during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $2.1 million, $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the total compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock unit awards not yet recognized is less than $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock units.

12. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

        For the year ended December 31, 2011, the change in the net deferred tax liabilities constituted $86.7 million of deferred tax expense and $13.3 million of other comprehensive income that relates to the interest rate swap and foreign currency translation.

        The Company has provided for income taxes in the U.S. and in Canada based on taxable income or loss and other tax attributes separately for each jurisdiction. The Company has established tax provisions separately for U.S. taxable income and Canadian losses, for which no income tax benefit was recorded. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred income tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

        The Company utilizes a like-kind exchange program for its vehicles whereby tax basis gains on disposal of eligible revenue-earning vehicles are deferred for purposes of U.S. federal and state income tax (the "Like-Kind Exchange Program"). To qualify for Like-Kind Exchange Program treatment, the Company exchanges (through a qualified intermediary) vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being purchased allowing the Company to carry-over the tax basis of vehicles sold to replacement vehicles, thereby deferring taxable gains from vehicle dispositions. In addition, the Company has historically elected to utilize accelerated or "bonus" depreciation methods on its vehicle inventories in order to defer its cash liability for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company's ability to continue to defer the reversal of prior period tax deferrals will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the Company's fleet, as well as the availability of accelerated depreciation methods in future years. Accordingly, the Company may make material cash federal income tax payments in future periods.

        In September 2010, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 (the "Small Business Act"), which extended 50% bonus depreciation allowances for assets placed in service in 2010, retroactively to the first of the year. In December 2010, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the "Tax Relief Act"), which increased the bonus depreciation allowance to 100% for assets placed in service from September 9, 2010 through December 31, 2011, as well as provided for 50% bonus depreciation for assets placed in service in 2012. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company received federal tax refunds of $50 million, based on overpayments of estimated taxes made in 2010, as a result of the enactment of the Small Business and Tax Relief Acts.

        At December 31, 2011, the Company has federal Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryfowards of approximately $166.3 million and expects to utilize the entire amount to offset federal taxable income in 2012. The Company has NOL carryforwards available in certain states to offset future state taxable income. A valuation allowance of approximately $24.6 million and $25.9 million existed at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for Canadian NOLs and approximately $0.1 million at both December 31, 2011 and 2010, for state NOLs. At December 31, 2011, DTG Canada has NOL carryforwards of approximately $66.2 million available to offset future taxable income in Canada. The Canadian NOLs will begin expiring in 2014 and will continue to expire through 2031. Valuation allowances have been established for the total estimated future tax effect of the Canadian NOLs and other Canadian net deferred tax assets.

        The Company had no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011. There are no material tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2011.

        The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the Company's significant tax jurisdictions, the tax years 2008 and later are subject to examination by U.S. federal taxing authorities and the tax years 2007 and later are subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities.

        The Company accrues interest and penalties on underpayment of income taxes related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. No material amounts were recognized for interest and penalties under ASC Topic 740 during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

        On September 26, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had increased the authorization of the share repurchase program previously announced on February 24, 2011 of up to $100 million to up to $400 million. The share repurchase program is discretionary and has no expiration date. Subject to applicable law, the Company may repurchase shares through forward stock repurchase agreements, accelerated stock buyback programs, directly in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to derivative instruments or plans complying with SEC Rule 10b5-1, among other types of transactions and arrangements. Additionally, share repurchases are subject to applicable limitations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which as of December 31, 2011, permitted share repurchases totaling approximately $280 million, after giving effect to the $100 million forward stock repurchase plan pre-funded in November 2011.

Facility contains limitations on share repurchases. See Note 8 for further discussion. Although payments were funded in 2011 for share repurchases under the forward stock repurchase agreement described below, no shares were repurchased under the share repurchase program as of December 31, 2011.

        On November 3, 2011, the Company entered into and pre-funded a forward stock repurchase agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. ("Goldman") under which the Company agreed to acquire $100 million of Company common stock. The Company currently expects to repurchase shares in 2012 under the remaining authorization of the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program may be increased, suspended or discontinued at any time.

        On February 7, 2012, the Company settled the $100 million forward stock repurchase agreement that was executed on November 3, 2011 and acquired 1,451,193 shares of common stock at an average share price of approximately $68.91.

Shareholder Rights Plan

        On May 18, 2011, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") under which the Company's shareholders will receive rights to purchase shares of a new series of preferred stock in certain circumstances. Under the provisions of the Rights Plan, which has an expiration date of May 30, 2012, the rights will be exercisable if a person or group, without the Company's approval, acquires 20% or more of the Company's common stock or announces a tender offer which results in the ownership of 20% or more of the Company's common stock. The rights also will be exercisable if a person or group that already owns 20% or more of the Company's common stock, without the Company's approval, acquires any additional shares. If the rights become exercisable, all rights holders (other than the person triggering the rights) will be entitled to acquire the Company's common stock at a 50% discount.

        On February 17, 2012, the Company extended the Rights Plan for one year, which now expires on May 30, 2013.

Public Stock Offering

        In October 2009, the Company entered into a terms agreement with certain underwriters to issue and sell 5,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price to the public of $19.25 per share. The Company also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 862,500 shares of common stock. The sale was made pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The sale of the initial shares closed on November 3, 2009, and the sale of the additional shares pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares closed on November 11, 2009. The 6,612,500 shares issued resulted in $120.6 million of net proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses of the offering of $6.6 million.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Concessions and Operating Leases

        The Company has certain concession agreements principally with airports throughout the U.S. and Canada. Typically, these agreements provide airport terminal counter space in return for a minimum rent. In many cases, the Company's subsidiaries are also obligated to pay insurance and maintenance costs and additional rents generally based on revenues earned at the location. Certain of the airport locations are operated by franchisees who are obligated to make the required rent and concession fee payments under the terms of their franchise arrangements with the Company's subsidiaries.

        The Company's subsidiaries operate from various leased premises under operating leases with terms up to 30 years. Some of the leases contain renewal options. Certain leases include contingent rental amount based on a percentage of the Company's revenue or gross receipts as defined in the lease agreement.

Vehicle Insurance Reserves

        The Company is self insured for a portion of vehicle insurance claims. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company retained risk of loss up to $7.5 million, in each year, per occurrence for public liability and property damage claims, including third-party bodily injury and property damage. The Company maintains insurance for losses above these levels. The Company retains the risk of loss on SLI policies sold to vehicle rental customers.

        The Company records reserves for its public liability and property damage exposure using actuarially-based loss estimates, which are updated semi-annually in June and December of each year. In June 2011, the Company began semi-annual updates for SLI, as such reserves had been previously updated on an annual basis in December. As a result of favorable overall claims loss development experienced in 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded favorable insurance reserve adjustments, which

effectively represents revision to previous estimates of vehicle insurance charges, of $32.2 million and $13.4 million during 2011 and 2010, respectively. This favorable claims development is driven by changes in loss development factors as a result of favorable claims development trends resulting from specific actions taken by the Company to lower its overall insurance costs. Those steps included, among others, closing a significant number of local market locations and raising acceptable credit scores for eligible customers in order to reduce the likelihood of adverse selection in certain markets. Additionally, the Company has implemented drivers' license validation procedures and requires examinations under oath in order to reduce the risk of fraud and personal injury claims in certain markets.

        The accrual for Vehicle Insurance Reserves includes amounts for incurred and incurred but not reported losses. Such liabilities are based on actuarially determined estimates and management believes that the amounts accrued are adequate. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the public liability and property damage amounts have been discounted at 0.4% and 1.0% (assumed risk free rate), respectively, based upon the actuarially determined estimated timing of payments to be made in future years. Discounting resulted in reducing the accrual for public liability and property damage by $0.4 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. SLI amounts are not discounted. Estimated future payments of Vehicle Insurance Reserves as of December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

        Various class action complaints relating to the now terminated proposed merger transaction with Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz") have been filed in Oklahoma state court, Oklahoma federal court, and Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, its directors, and Hertz by various plaintiffs, for themselves and on behalf of the Company's stockholders, excluding defendants and their affiliates. These complaints allege that the consideration the Company's stockholders would have received in connection with the proposed transaction with Hertz is inadequate and that the Company's directors breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders in negotiating and approving the merger agreement. These complaints also allege that the proxy materials that were sent to the Company's stockholders to approve the merger agreement are materially false and misleading. The cases and their current status

are as follows: 1) Henzel v. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., et al. (Consolidated Case No. CJ-2010-02761, Dist. Ct. Tulsa County, Oklahoma)—this case has not been dismissed but is currently inactive and 2) In Re: Dollar Thrifty Shareholder Litigation (Consolidated Case No. 5458-VCS, Delaware Court of Chancery)—on October 18, 2011, plaintiffs sought permission to amend their pleadings to assert additional claims that members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board") breached their fiduciary duties concerning the following matters: (a) the Board's response to a merger proposal by Avis Budget Group, Inc. ("Avis Budget") in September 2010; (b) the Board's use of defensive measures, including the adoption of a poison pill, in response to the Exchange Offer made by Hertz; (c) the Board's response to the failure of Hertz to submit an improved final offer meeting certain Board criteria by October 10, 2011; and (d) the Board's alleged failure to make full material disclosures to the Company's stockholders concerning the Hertz offer, the Company's stand-alone plan, and the Company's negotiations with Hertz regarding a business combination. The court has not ruled on the plaintiffs' request to amend. On November 1, 2011, the plaintiffs advised the court that the parties have agreed to stay further activity pending the outcome of the Hertz antitrust review process.

        The Company is a defendant in several class action lawsuits in California and one in Colorado. The California lawsuits allege that the pass through of the California trade and tourism commission and airport concession fees violate antitrust laws and various other rights and laws by compelling out-of-state visitors to subsidize the passenger car rental tourism assessment program, violation of the California Business and Professions Code breach of contract. The Company has accrued a contingency related to the preliminary settlement.

        The Colorado lawsuit alleges violation of the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. The lawsuit in Colorado was dismissed with prejudice in July 2010 and the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in August 2010. Appellate briefing was completed on May 16, 2011 and oral argument on the appeal occurred on December 6, 2011, and the parties are awaiting a ruling. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of ultimate loss that may arise from these lawsuits.

        Various other legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings have been in the past, or may be in the future, asserted or instituted against the Company, including other purported class actions or proceedings relating to the Hertz transaction terminated in October 2010 or a potential acquisition transaction, and some that may demand large monetary damages or other relief which could result in significant expenditures. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and is inherently unpredictable. The Company is also subject to potential liability related to environmental matters. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and environmental matters when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures in excess of established reserves. The term "reasonably possible" is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than probable. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of previously accrued reserves and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of a further loss and the estimated amount of the loss. With respect to outstanding litigation and environmental matters, based on current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either

        On April 4, 2011, the Company and HP Enterprise Services, LLC ("HP") entered into a three and one-half year data processing service agreement (the "Service Agreement"), which requires annual payments of approximately $20 million for 2012 and 2013 and approximately $10 million for 2014. The Company also has a telecommunications contract which will require annual payments totaling $1.2 million for 2012. Additionally, the Company has software and hardware maintenance agreements which require annual payments totaling approximately $2.1 million and $1.5 million for 2012 and 2013, respectively.

        In addition to the letters of credit described in Note 8, the Company had letters of credit totaling $4.0 million and $5.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are primarily used to support insurance programs and airport concession obligations in Canada. The Company may also provide guarantees on behalf of franchisees to support compliance with airport concession bids. Non-performance of the obligation by the franchisee would trigger the obligation of the Company. At December 31, 2011, there were no such guarantees on behalf of franchisees.

        At December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding vehicle purchase commitments of approximately $1.3 billion over the next 12 months.

15. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        The Company's corporate operating structure is based on a functional structure and combines the management of operations and administrative functions for both the Dollar and Thrifty brands. Consistent with this structure, management makes business and operating decisions on an overall company basis.

        During the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2010, the Company incurred $1.7 million, $6.9 million, $11.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in merger-related expenses. See Note 17 for further discussion.

        In 2010, the majority relating to the third quarter, the Company wrote off $1.1 million (pretax) primarily related to software no longer in use and to impairments of assets at its company-owned stores.

17. PROPOSED ACQUISITION AND RELATED MATTERS

        In late February 2011, the Company submitted its certification of substantial compliance with the Second Request of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") relating to a potential acquisition of the Company by Avis Budget.

        On May 9, 2011, Hertz announced its plans to commence an exchange offer to acquire the Company. On May 24, 2011, HDTMS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz, commenced an exchange offer to exchange each of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock for (i) $57.60 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, and (ii) 0.8546 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hertz common stock (the "Exchange Offer"). The Exchange Offer had an expiration date of July 8, 2011; however, Hertz extended the Exchange Offer through November 1, 2011. On October 27, 2011, Hertz announced that it was withdrawing its Exchange Offer for all outstanding shares of the Company, in light of the Company's plan to commence its announced share repurchase program and current market conditions. However, Hertz noted that they remain interested in acquiring the Company and remain engaged with the FTC to secure antitrust clearance for a proposed transaction.

        On August 21, 2011, the Company issued a letter advising Hertz and Avis Budget of the Company's intention to solicit for submission in early October 2011 best and final definitive proposals regarding a potential business combination. In its letter, the Company stated that any proposal that did not eliminate the antitrust regulatory risk of the transaction for its shareholders would not likely be acceptable. In conjunction with the Company's request for final proposals regarding a potential business combination on September 14, 2011, Avis Budget announced that it would not participate in a bid to buy the Company, citing current market conditions.

        As of October 10, 2011, the Company had not received any proposals meeting this criterion and announced that it has formally concluded its process to solicit definitive proposals regarding a potential business combination. Consequently, the Company has terminated its solicitation process and will continue to execute its current stand-alone plan.

        Pending litigation relating to the now terminated merger agreement is described in Note 14.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed events that have occurred after December 31, 2011 through the issuance of the financial statements. The Company noted no reportable subsequent events other than the subsequent events noted in Notes 8 and 13.

19. GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        In November 2012, the Company was acquired by a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of The Hertz Corporation ("THC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. In February 2013 and March 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were added as guarantors under certain of THC's debt instruments and credit facilities.

        The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, and Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, of (a) the Company and those of its subsidiaries that guarantee the indebtedness of THC, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries; (b) the subsidiaries of the Company that do not guarantee THC's indebtedness, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; (c) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Guarantor Subsidiaries with the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries; and of (d) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

        Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been provided, as the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by THC and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are pledged under THC's Senior Credit Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of THC's general creditors.

Delaware Entities

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or "DGCL," provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Any such indemnified person's rights to indemnification may not be eliminated after the occurrence of the act or omission giving rise to a claim

II-1


Table of Contents

in respect of which indemnification is sought, unless the relevant indemnification provision expressly permits such elimination.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions); or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        Section 108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person of the limited liability company from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

        The certificate of incorporation of Hertz provides for the indemnification of directors and officers and their legal representatives who were or are made party to, are threatened to be made party to or are involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he (or a person of whom he is the legal representative) is or was a director or officer of Hertz or is or was serving at the request of Hertz as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against all expenses, liability and losses (including penalties, fines, judgments, attorney's fees, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and excise taxes or penalties imposed on fiduciaries with respect to employee benefit plans, charitable organizations or similar matters) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. With respect to proceedings initiated by such persons, Hertz shall only indemnify such person to the extent such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. The certificates of incorporation further provide that such rights to indemnification are not exclusive of any rights which any person may have or acquire under any statute, provision of the certification of incorporation, by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of Hertz as well as of each of HCM Marketing Corporation, Hertz Local Edition Transporting, Inc., Hertz Technologies, Inc., Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation, Cinelease Holdings, Inc. and Dollar Thrifty provides that their respective directors shall have no personal liability to the respective corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the respective corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

        The certificate of incorporation of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation provides that its directors and officers and any person serving at its request as director or officer of another corporation in which it is a creditor shall be indemnified against all expenses actually and necessarily incurred or paid by him in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding to which he is a party by reason of his being or having been such director or officer. In cases where such action, suit or proceeding proceeds to final adjudication, such indemnification shall not extend to matters as to which it is adjudged that such director or officer is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties as such.

        The certificates of incorporation of each of Hertz Claim Management Corporation, Hertz Global Services Corporation, Hertz Local Edition Corp., Hertz System, Inc., Hertz Transporting, Inc., Smartz Vehicle Rental Corporation and Cinelease Holdings, Inc. do not contain specific provisions for the

II-2


Table of Contents

indemnification of their respective directors and officers. The certificate of formation of Hertz Car Sales LLC does not contain specific provisions for the indemnification of its member or officers.

        In addition to the indemnification rights provided under the certificate of incorporation of Hertz, the by-laws of Hertz include rights of indemnification for directors and officers of Hertz who served on or after December 22, 2005, including a prohibition on Hertz from requiring security in connection with any undertaking from a director or officer to repay any advanced expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification, a requirement to make indemnification payments promptly and in any event within 30 days of written requests and an obligation of Hertz to maintain insurance for directors and officers if available on commercially reasonable terms, consistent with then prevailing market rates.

        The by-laws of each of Hertz Claim Management Corporation, HCM Marketing Corporation, Hertz Local Edition Corp., Hertz Local Edition Transporting, Inc., Hertz Global Services Corporation, Hertz Technologies, Inc., Hertz Transporting, Inc. and Smartz Vehicle Rental Corporation provide for the indemnification of their respective current and former directors and current or former officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

        The by-laws of each of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and Hertz System, Inc. provide for the indemnification of their respective current and former directors and officers, as well as such persons' executors, administrators or other legal representatives, against reasonable costs and expenses (including judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any civil or criminal action, suit or other proceeding to which such director or officer (or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives) may be made a party by reason of such director or officer being or having been a director or officer of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation or Hertz System, Inc., as the case may be, or of any other corporation or organization which such director or officer served in any such capacity at the request of Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation or Hertz System, Inc., as the case may be, unless it is finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such director or officer has been liable for negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such director or officer's duties as director or officer. If such action, suit or proceeding is concluded by judgment, settled or otherwise terminated against such director or officer without a final determination as to whether such director or officer has been so liable, such director or officer shall not be indemnified unless it is determined by a majority of the Board of Directors who are not parties to such proceeding (or by any one or more disinterested persons to whom the question is referred by the Board of Directors) that such officer or director has not in any substantial way been liable.

        The limited liability company agreement of Hertz Car Sales LLC states that neither the member nor any officer shall be liable to the company or any other person or entity who has an interest in the company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by the member or such officer in good faith on behalf of the company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on the member or such officer, except that the member or such officer shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of the member's or such officer's willful misconduct. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, the member or such officer shall be entitled to indemnification from Hertz Car Sales LLC for any loss, damage or claim incurred by the member or such officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by the member or such officer in good faith on behalf of the company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on the member or such officer, except that neither the member nor any officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by the member or such officer by reason of willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity shall be provided out of and to the extent of the company's assets only, and the member shall not have personal liability on account thereof.

Table of Contents

        The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation provide for the indemnification of directors and officers and their legal representatives who were or are made party to, are threatened to be made party to or are involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he (or a person of whom he is the legal representative) is or was a director or officer of Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation or is or was serving at the request of Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against all expenses, liability and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. With respect to proceedings initiated by such persons, Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation shall only indemnify such person to the extent such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws further provide that, in the event the DGCL requires the payment of the expenses of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, such director or officer shall deliver to Hertz Entertainment Services Corporation an undertaking to repay any advanced expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws further provide that such rights to indemnification are not exclusive of any rights which any person may have or acquire under any statute, provision of the certification of incorporation, by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        The by-laws of Cinelease Holdings, Inc. provide for the indemnification of each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, is or was a director or officer of Cinelease Holdings, Inc. or is or was serving at the request of Cinelease Holdings, Inc. as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding). With respect to proceedings initiated by such persons, Cinelease Holdings, Inc. generally shall only indemnify such person to the extent such proceeding was authorized by its board of directors. The by-laws also provide that expenses of indemnified directors and officers incurred in connection with defending a proceeding shall be paid by Cinelease Holdings, Inc. in advance of such proceeding's final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay any advanced expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification. The by-laws further provide that Cinelease Holdings, Inc. may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of Cinelease Holdings, Inc. or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, whether or not Cinelease Holdings, Inc. would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability. Pursuant to the by-laws, Cinelease Holdings, Inc. generally agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort of the indemnified persons. Finally, the by-laws state that the rights to indemnification and payment of expenses thereunder are not exclusive of any rights which any person may have or acquire under any statute, provision of the certification of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        The by-laws of Dollar Thrifty provide for the indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law, of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of Dollar Thrifty, or while serving as a director or officer of Dollar Thrifty, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of Dollar Thrifty as a director, officer, employee, manager

or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Dollar Thrifty, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Dollar Thrifty's board of directors may authorize its counsel to represent such indemnified persons in any proceeding. Such indemnification is further limited in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. With respect to proceedings initiated by such persons, Dollar Thrifty generally shall only indemnify such person to the extent such proceeding was authorized by its board of directors. The by-laws also provide that expenses of indemnified directors and officers incurred in connection with defending a proceeding shall be paid by Dollar Thrifty in advance of such proceeding's final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay any advanced expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification. The by-laws further provide that the rights to indemnification and payment of expenses thereunder are deemed to be separate contract rights and are not exclusive of any rights to which any indemnified party may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Finally, the by-laws provide that Dollar Thrifty may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of Dollar Thrifty, or is or was serving at its request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, whether or not Dollar Thrifty would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability.

        Hertz, along with Hertz Holdings, is a party to customary indemnification agreements with the Sponsors and stockholders of Hertz Holdings that are affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz and Hertz Holdings will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and against certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of certain financing arrangements and securities offerings.

        Hertz Holdings has also obtained officers' and directors' liability insurance which insures against liabilities that officers and directors of Hertz Holdings and its subsidiaries may, in such capacities, incur.

        Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors providing the directors contractual rights to indemnification, expense advance provided by its by-laws, and contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the applicable indemnification agreement. In addition, Dollar Thrifty has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors and executive officers providing such directors and officers contractual rights to indemnification, expense advance provided by its by-laws, and contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the applicable indemnification agreement.

Arkansas Corporation

        Section 4-27-850 of the Arkansas Business Corporation Act of 1987, as amended from time to time (the "Arkansas Business Corporation Act"), permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that such person was acting in the capacity of a director, officer, employee or agent if such person acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action

II-5


Table of Contents

or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of proceedings, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such proceeding, he or she must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Corporations also have the power to (i) pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of persons acting in the capacity of a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, whether or not such corporation would have the power to indemnify such person.

        In addition, Section 4-27-202 of the Arkansas Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation's articles of incorporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (a) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under section 4-27-833 of the Arkansas Business Corporation Act, which makes directors liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful distributions, (d) for transactions from which a director derived an improper personal benefit or (e) for any action, omission, transaction, or breach of a director's duty creating any third-party liability to any person or entity other than the corporation or stockholder.

        The articles of incorporation of Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by the Arkansas Business Corporation Act, no member of its board of directors shall be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any monetary damages for breach of his duty as a director. The articles also provide that the corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Arkansas Business Corporation Act.

        The by-laws of Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. or is or was serving at the request of Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified to the fullest extent authorized by the Arkansas Business Corporation Act against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. With respect to proceedings initiated by such persons, Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. generally shall only indemnify such person to the extent such proceeding was authorized by its board of directors. This right of indemnification includes the right to be paid the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Furthermore, this right to indemnification and payment of expenses are not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, law, provision of Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc.'s articles of incorporation,

II-6


Table of Contents

by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Finally, the by-laws provide that Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. may maintain insurance to protect itself and any directors, officers, employees or agents against any liabilities or losses, regardless of whether or not Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc. would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities or losses.

Illinois Corporation

        Section 8.75 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act ("IBCA") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than one brought on behalf of the corporation, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement payments incurred in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of such corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions on behalf of the corporation, indemnification may extend only to reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit and only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that no such indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation except to the extent that the adjudicating court otherwise provides. To the extent that a present or former director, officer or employee of the corporation has been successful in defending any such action, suit or proceeding (even one on behalf of the corporation) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person is entitled to indemnification for reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

        The indemnification provided for by the IBCA is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and a corporation may maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent against any liabilities asserted against such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the IBCA.

        The amended and restated articles of incorporation of Donlen Corporation provide that no director of Donlen shall be personally liable to Donlen or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of any director (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Donlen or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 8.65 of the IBCA (which relates to prohibited distributions and post-dissolution actions), or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        Donlen's amended and restated by-laws provide that Donlen shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Donlen) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Donlen, or is or was serving at the request of Donlen as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably

believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Donlen, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Donlen similarly indemnifies such persons with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of Donlen to procure a judgment in its favor if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of Donlen, except that with respect to such actions or suits by or in right of Donlen no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to Donlen unless and only to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the applicable case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

        The by-laws further provide that Donlen may pay expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by its board of directors and upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer by or on behalf of whom such expenses are incurred to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by Donlen. Furthermore, the indemnification provided under the by-laws is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The by-laws also allow Donlen to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Donlen, or is or was serving at the request of Donlen as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and insured by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not Donlen would have the power to indemnify such person.

Nevada Corporation

        Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") 78.7502(1) permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (except an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of being or having been an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or serving or having served at the request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Indemnification may include attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person to be indemnified in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. Pursuant to NRS 78.7502(2) a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the

right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of being or having been an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or serving or having served at the request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, except that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. However, to be entitled to indemnification in either case, the person to be indemnified (a) must not be found liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 (see below) or (b) must have acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

        NRS 78.7502(3) provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

        NRS 78.751 permits a corporation, in its articles of incorporation, by-laws or other agreement, to provide for the payment of expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation.

        NRS 78.752 permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as officers, directors, employees or agents or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him, her or them against such liability and expenses.

        NRS 78.138(7) generally provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (a) his or her act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (b) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto may, however, provide for greater individual liability. Furthermore, NRS 78.300 provides that directors may be jointly and severally liable for the payment of certain distributions in violation of Chapter 78 of the NRS.

        The amended and restated articles of incorporation of Cinelease, Inc. provide that its directors and officers shall not be individually liable to Cinelease, Inc. or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in the person's capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of the person's fiduciary duties as a director or officer and the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

        The amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws of Cinelease, Inc. provide for indemnification to fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada to any person who is or was a director or officer of Cinelease, Inc., or is or was serving at the request of Cinelease, Inc. as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership,

joint venture, trust or other enterprises. The amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws also provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by Cinelease, Inc. as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by Cinelease, Inc. The amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws further provide that such right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers or representatives may have or acquire, and that they are also entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise. In its amended and restated articles of incorporation, Cinelease, Inc. generally agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e. its obligations to indemnify or advance expenses are primary, and any obligation of institutional investors affiliated with certain directors and officers of Cinelease, Inc. to indemnify or advance expenses are secondary) to the directors and officers of Cinelease, Inc.

        The amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws of Cinelease, Inc. allow its board of directors to cause Cinelease, Inc. to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of Cinelease, Inc., or is or was serving at the request of Cinelease, Inc. as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprises, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not Cinelease, Inc. would have the power to indemnify such person.

Oklahoma Corporations

        Section 1031 of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of proceedings if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such proceeding, he or she must be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Corporations also have the power to (i) pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of persons acting in the capacity of a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, whether or not such corporation would have the power to indemnify such person.

        Schedules and exhibits not included above have been omitted because the information required has been included in the financial statements or notes thereto or are not applicable or not required.

        (b)   Financial schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or not required, or because the information is included herein in our financial statements and/or the notes related thereto.

        (c)   Not applicable.

ITEM 22.    UNDERTAKINGS

        (a)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                (i)  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii)  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

              (iii)  to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

            (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

            (5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant

II-33


Table of Contents

    undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

                (i)  any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

               (ii)  any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

              (iii)  the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

              (iv)  any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

            (6)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (b)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        (c)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

THIRD:                                                                          The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the general corporation law of the State of Oklahoma.  The Corporation shall have perpetual existence.

SEVENTH:                                                      Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its shareholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Oklahoma, may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or shareholder thereof, or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 1106 of the General Corporation Act of the State of Oklahoma, Title 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, or on the application of trustees in dissolution or any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 1100 of the General Corporation Act of the State of Oklahoma, Title 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the shareholders or class of shareholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the compromise or arrangement and the reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors and/or on all the shareholders or class of shareholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.

SECTION 3.5                  Voting Lists.  The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least 10 days before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any continuation thereof, arranged in alphabetical order with the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder entitled to vote.  Such list shall be kept on file either at the place the meeting is to be held, such place to be specified in the notice of the meeting, at the registered office of the Corporation for a period of 10 days prior to such meeting and shall be open to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at any time during normal business hours during such 10 day period.  Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be open to inspection by any shareholder during the duration of the meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting.  The original and current stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence of which shareholders are entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

 

SECTION 3.6                  Quorum.  The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares (not including treasury shares) of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, if represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

SECTION 3.8                  Voting of Shares.  Each shareholder with voting power is entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock held in its, his or her name on the books of the Corporation on the date the transfer books are closed or on the record date, whichever is applicable, as provided and established in Section 3.4 above.  Such vote may be by a voice vote, or any qualified voter may demand a stock vote whereupon such stock vote shall be taken by ballot, each of which shall state the name of the shareholder voting, and the number of shares voted by it, him or her, and if such ballot be cast by proxy, the name of such proxy.  All corporate questions and matters voted upon shall be decided by majority vote of the shareholders entitled to vote constituting a quorum and voting on such question or matter.

 

SECTION 3.8.1        Voting Shares of Certain Holders.  Shares held in the name of another corporation may be voted by any such officer, agent or proxy as the Bylaws of such corporation may designate, or, in the absence of any such provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may designate.  Written authority for any such designated officer, agent or proxy to vote on behalf of such other corporation must be presented to the Secretary at or prior to the time of any meeting at which such shares shall be voted.

 

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, her or it either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his, her or its name.  Shares held in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, her or it, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held without a transfer of such shares into his, her or its name.

 

Shares held in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his, her or its name if the authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

 

Shares held in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, unless the Secretary is furnished written notice to the contrary with a copy of the instrument or order appointing or creating the relationship by which such notifying joint holder is authorized to act, shall be voted as follows:  (i) if one joint holder votes, his act binds all; or (ii) if more than one joint holder votes, the act of the majority voting binds all; or (iii) if more than one joint holder votes but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the security in question proportionally, or any person or entity voting the shares may apply to the district court to appoint an additional person to act with the persons or entities so voting the shares, which shall then be voted as determined by a majority of such persons or entities and the person appointed.  If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of this subsection shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

SECTION 3.9                  Voting for Election of Directors.  Unless otherwise provided by law, every shareholder entitled to vote at each election of Directors shall have the right, either in person or by proxy, to vote the total number of shares owned by him, her or it for each Director’s position to be filled on the Board of Directors.  There shall be no cumulative voting privileges nor shall the shareholders be required to distribute their votes among any number of candidates pursuant to the cumulative voting principle.  Election of Directors shall be decided by a majority vote of the shareholders entitled to vote constituting a quorum and voting on such matter.

 

SECTION 3.10           Consent of Absentees.  No defect in the calling or giving notice of a shareholders meeting will affect the validity of any action at the meeting if a quorum of shareholders, as determined by Section 3.6 herein, was present and if each shareholder not present in person or by proxy and who was adversely affected by such defect signs a written waiver of notice or a written consent to the calling of the meeting, and any such waivers, consents or approvals are filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

SECTION 3.11           Informal Action by Shareholders.  Unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at any such annual or special meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.

 

SECTION 3.12           Inspectors of Election.  One or more inspectors of election shall be appointed by the Board of Directors before or at each meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation at which an election of Directors shall take place; provided that if no such appointment shall have been made, or if any of the inspectors appointed by the Board of Directors shall refuse to act at or fail to attend such meeting or continuation thereof, then the appointment of the remaining number of inspectors necessary shall be made by the presiding officer at the meeting.  The inspectors shall receive and take charge of all proxies and ballots, and shall decide all questions regarding the qualification of voters, the invalidity of proxies and acceptance and rejection of votes.  In case of a tie vote by the inspectors on any questions, the presiding officer shall cast the deciding vote.  It shall be the duty of such inspectors after any such valid election of Directors to certify under their hands to the Secretary of the Corporation the results of such election and the names of the Directors-elect.  The inspectors of election, at the request of the Chairperson of such meeting shall act as inspectors and tellers of any other vote by ballot taken at such meeting, and shall certify the result thereof.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

SECTION 13.1           Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of this Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) (hereinafter the “Act”), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, legal and personal representatives; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 13.2 of this Article XIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred hereby shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Act requires the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or officer in his or her capacity as a Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a Director or officer including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, payment shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified hereby or otherwise.  The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Directors and officers.

 

15



 

SECTION 13.2           Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 13.1 of this Article XIII hereof is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

SECTION 13.3           Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred hereby shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, law, provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

SECTION 13.4           Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Act.

 

ARTICLE XIV

 

AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

 

SECTION 14.1           Amendment by Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws, or adopt new Bylaws, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

 

SECTION 14.2           Amendment by Shareholders.  The shareholders, by affirmative vote of the shareholders representing a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, may make, alter, amend or repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws without notice at any annual meeting.

SECTION 2.02.  Annual Meeting.  An annual meeting of the Stockholders of the corporation, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such time as may be designated by the Board of Directors.  If such day is a legal holiday, the annual meeting shall be held on the following business day.  If the annual meeting is not held on such date, the Board of Directors by majority vote shall cause a meeting to be held as soon thereafter as convenient.

 

SECTION 2.03.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Stockholders of the corporation may be called at any time by the President, Chairman of the Board, or a majority of the Board of Directors, for any purpose or purposes for which meetings may be lawfully called.  At any time, upon written request of any such person or persons who have duly called a special meeting, which written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting, it shall be the duty of the President to fix the date of the meeting to be held at such date and time as the

 



 

President may fix, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request, and to give due notice thereof.  If the President shall neglect or refuse to fix the time and date of such meeting and give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.

 

SECTION 2.04.  Notice of Meetings.  Written notice of the place, date and hour of every meeting of the Stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given by the Chairman of the Board, the President, a Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation to each Stockholder of record having voting power with respect to the business to be transacted at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.  Each notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is being called.  Any meeting at which all Stockholders having voting power with respect to the business to be transacted thereat are present, either in person or by proxy, shall be a valid meeting for the transaction of business, notwithstanding that notice has not been given as hereinabove provided.

 

SECTION 2.05.  Quorum, Manner of Acting and Adjournment.  The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding (not including treasury stock) and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws.  If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the Stockholders, the Stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At any such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.  If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of record having voting power with respect to the business to be transacted at such meeting.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of the majority of the stock having voting power with respect to a question present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any such question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the applicable statute or these bylaws, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision on such question.  Except upon those questions governed by the aforesaid express provisions, the Stockholders present in person or by proxy at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding withdrawal of enough Stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 2.08.  Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting.  Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of Stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to a corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Stockholder or member who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required herein to the corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders or members to take action are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to a corporation’s principal place of business shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Stockholders who have not consented in writing.

 

SECTION 2.09.  Voting Lists.  The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of Stockholders, a complete list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.  The list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each Stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each Stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any Stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held,

which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Stockholder who is present.

SECTION 6.01.  Issuance.  The Directors may, at any time and from time to time, if all of the shares of capital stock which the corporation is authorized by its certificate of incorporation to issue have not been issued, subscribed for, or otherwise committed to be issued, issue or take subscriptions for additional shares of its capital stock up to the amount authorized in its certificate of incorporation.  Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the Board of Directors may provide by resolution that some or all of any or all classes and series of the shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be uncertificated shares, provided that such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation.  The stock certificates of the corporation shall be numbered and registered in the stock ledger and transfer books of the corporation as they are issued.  The Board of Directors may also appoint one or more transfer agents and/or registrars for its stock of any class or classes and for the transfer and registration of certificates representing the same and may require stock certificates to be countersigned by one or more of them.  They shall be signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or a Vice President and attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, and shall bear the corporate seal, which may be a facsimile, engraved or printed.  Any or all of the signatures upon such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved or printed.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any share certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar, before the certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of its issue.

 

SECTION 6.02.  Regulations Regarding Certificates.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issuance, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the corporation.

 

SECTION 6.03.  Stock Certificates.  Stock certificates of the corporation shall be in such form as provided by statute and approved by the Board of Directors.  The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary of the corporation or by any agency designated by the Board of Directors for that purpose.

 

SECTION 6.04.  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates.  The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed.  When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made

against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

SECTION 6.05.  Record Holder of Shares.  The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Oklahoma.

 

SECTION 6.06.  Determination of Stockholders of Record for Voting at Meetings.  In order that the corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting.  If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.  A determination of Stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

SECTION 6.07.  Determination of Stockholders of Record for Dividends and Distributions.  In order that the corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the Stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than, sixty (60) days prior to such action.  If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining Stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

ARTICLE VII.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND

OTHER AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES

 

SECTION 7.01.  Indemnification of Authorized Representatives in Third Party Proceedings.  The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is an “authorized representative” of the corporation (which shall mean for purposes of this Article VII a Director or Officer of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and who was or is a “party” (which shall include for purposes of this Article VII the giving of testimony or similar involvement) or is threatened to be made a party to any “third party proceeding” (which shall mean for purposes of this Article VII any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the corporation, against expenses (which shall include for purposes of this Article VII attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such third party proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any third party proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, indictment, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the authorized representative did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding, did not have reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

 

SECTION 7.02.  Indemnification of Authorized Representatives in Corporate Proceedings.  The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of the corporation and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any “corporate proceeding” (which shall mean for purposes of this Article VII any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or investigative proceeding by the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such corporate proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such corporate proceeding was pending shall determine upon application that,

 

12



 

despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such authorized representative is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the other court shall deem proper.

 

SECTION 7.03.  Mandatory Indemnification of Authorized Representatives.  To the extent that an authorized representative of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any third party or corporate proceeding referred to in Sections 7.01 or 7.02 above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

SECTION 7.04.  Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.  Any indemnification under Section 7.01, 7.02 or 7.03 of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the authorized representative is proper in the circumstances because such person has either met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 or 7.02 or has been successful, on the merits or otherwise as set forth in Section 7.03 and that the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred.  Such determination shall be made:

 

(1)                                 By the Board of Directors by a majority of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or

 

(2)                                 If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

 

(3)                                 By the Stockholders.

 

SECTION 7.05.  Burden of Proof.  In the event a claim for indemnification by an authorized representative is denied by the corporation (except for a claim by a person described in Section 7.08 hereof), the corporation shall, in any subsequent legal proceedings relating to such denial, have the burden of proving that indemnification was not required under Section 7.01, 7.02 or 7.03 of these bylaws without regard to Section 7.04 hereof or under any other agreement or undertaking between the corporation and the authorized representative or was not permitted under applicable law.

 

SECTION 7.06.  Advancing Expenses.  Expenses incurred by an Officer or Director in defending a third party or corporate proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such third party or corporate proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the authorized representative to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VII.  Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

 

SECTION 7.07.  Employee Benefit Plans.  For purposes of this Article VII, the corporation shall be deemed to have requested an authorized representative to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of duties to the corporation also imposes

 

13



 

duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an authorized representative with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be included within the meaning of “fines”; and action taken or omitted by such person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of duties for a purpose reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

SECTION 7.08.  Employees and Agents other than Authorized Representatives.  The corporation may, but is not required to, indemnify any employee or agent who is not also an authorized representative if the determining group as specified in Section 7.04 (1), (2) or (3) determines that such indemnification, is proper in the specific case.

 

SECTION 7.09.  Scope of Article.  The indemnification of and advancement of expenses to authorized representatives, as authorized by this Article VII, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of Stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

SECTION 7.10.  Reliance on Provisions.  Each person who shall act as an authorized representative of the corporation shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon rights of indemnification provided, by this Article VII, and the provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed a contract between the corporation and the authorized representative.

 

SECTION 7.11.  Insurance.  The corporation shall have the power to, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an authorized representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an authorized representative or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

 

SECTION 7.12.  Rights Continue. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an authorized representative and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

ARTICLE VIII.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 8.01.  Dividends.  Subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.  Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any

(a)                                 the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or

ARTICLE XIII.

 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

SECTION 1.                                                 Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of this Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) (hereinafter the “Act”), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, legal and personal representatives; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article XIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred hereby shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Act requires the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or officer in his or her capacity as a Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a Director or officer including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, payment shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified hereby or otherwise.  The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Directors and officers.

 

SECTION 2.                                                 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 1 of this Article XIII hereof is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards

 

15



 

of conduct which make it permissible under the Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

SECTION 3.                                                 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred hereby shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, law, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

SECTION 4.                                                 Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Act.

 

ARTICLE XIV.

 

AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

 

SECTION 1.                                                 Amendment by Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws, or adopt new Bylaws, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors; provided that notice setting forth such alteration, amendment or repeal shall be given to each Director in writing at least three (3) days prior to said meeting and further provided that the Board of Directors may not adopt new Bylaws or amendments thereto which change the authorized number of Directors or their qualifications.

 

SECTION 2.                                                 Amendment by Stockholders.  The stockholders, by affirmative vote of the stockholders representing a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, may make, alter, amend or repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws without notice at any annual meeting.  Provided, also, that these Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws adopted by vote of the stockholders representing a majority of all the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any special stockholders meeting when such proposed amendment, alteration or repeal or new Bylaws have been set forth in the notice of such special meeting.

ARTICLE XIII

 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

SECTION 1                 Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of this Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Arkansas Business Corporation Act of 1987, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) (hereinafter the “Act”), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, legal and personal representatives; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article XIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or

 

14



 

part thereof) initiated by such person only if such indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred hereby shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Act requires the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or officer in his or her capacity as a Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a Director or officer including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, payment shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified hereby or otherwise.  The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Directors and officers.

 

SECTION 2                 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 1 of this Article XIII hereof is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

SECTION 3                 Non Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred hereby shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, law, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

SECTION 4                 Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Act.

AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

 

SECTION 1                 Amendment by Stockholders.  The stockholders, by affirmative vote of the stockholders representing a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, may make, alter, amend or repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws without notice at any annual meeting.  Provided, also, that these Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws adopted by vote of the stockholders representing a majority of all the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any special stockholders meeting when such proposed amendment, alteration or repeal or new Bylaws have been set forth in the notice of such special meeting.

representative” of the corporation (which shall mean for purposes of this Article VII a Director or officer of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and who was or is a “party” (which shall include for purposes of this Article VII the giving of testimony or similar involvement) or is threatened to be made a party to any “third party proceeding” (which shall mean for purposes of this Article VII any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the corporation, against expenses (which shall include for purposes of this Article VII attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such third party proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any third party proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, indictment, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the authorized representative did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding, did not have reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.02.                                   Indemnification of Authorized Representatives in Corporate Proceedings.  The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is an authorized representative of the corporation and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any “corporate proceeding” (which shall mean for purposes of this Article VII any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or investigative proceeding by the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an authorized representative of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such corporate proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that a district court or the court in which such corporate proceeding was pending shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such authorized representative is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the district court or such other court shall deem proper.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.03.                                   Mandatory Indemnification of Authorized Representatives.  To the extent that an authorized representative of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any third party or corporate proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.04.                                   Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.  Any indemnification under Section 7.01, 7.02 or 7.03 above (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of

 



 

the authorized representative is proper in the circumstances because such person has either met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 7.01 or 7.02 above or has been successful on the merits or otherwise as set forth in Section 7.03 above and that the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred.  Such determination shall be made:

 

(1)                                 By the Board of Directors, by a majority of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such third party or corporate proceeding; or

 

(2)                                 If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable if a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

 

(3)                                 By the Shareholders.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.05.                                   Burden of Proof.  In the event a claim for indemnification by an authorized representative is denied by the corporation (except for a claim by a person described in Section 7.08 hereof), the corporation shall, in any subsequent legal proceedings relating to such denial, have the burden of proving that indemnification was not required under Section 7.01, 7.02 or 7.03 above without regard to Section 7.04 hereof or under any other agreement or undertaking between the corporation and the authorized representative or was not permitted under applicable law.

 

SECTION 7.06.                                   Advancing Expenses.  Expenses incurred by an officer or Director in defending a third party or corporate proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such third party or corporate proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the authorized representative to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VII.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may deny a claim for advancement of expenses hereunder if the Board of Directors reasonably and in good faith determines that it is more likely than not that the authorized agent will not be entitled to indemnification on the final disposition of such third party or corporate proceeding.  Such determination shall be made by the vote specified in Section 7.04 (1) or (2) hereof.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.07.                                   Employee Benefit Plans.  For purposes of this Article VII, the corporation shall be deemed to have requested an authorized representative to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an authorized representative with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be included within the meaning of “fines”; and action taken or omitted by such person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of duties for a purpose reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.08.                                   Employees and Agents other than Authorized Representatives.  The corporation may, but is not required to, indemnify any employee or agent who is not also an

 



 

authorized representative if the determining group as specified in Section 7.04 (1), (2) or (3) above determines that such indemnification is proper in the specific case.

 

SECTION 7.09.                                   Scope of Article.  The indemnification of and advancement of expenses to authorized representatives, as authorized by this Article VII, shall (1) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity, (2) continue as to a person who has ceased to be an authorized representative and (3) inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.  (Sec. 1031)

 

SECTION 7.10.                                   Reliance on Provisions.  Each person who shall act as an authorized representative of the corporation shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon rights of indemnification provided by this Article VII, and the provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed a contract between the corporation and the authorized representative.

 

SECTION 7.11.                                   Insurance.  The corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance at its expense on behalf of any person who is or was an authorized representative against any liability asserted against him in such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.  (Sec. 1031)

TENTH:                        The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained herein, add any additional provisions hereto, increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock, or restate this Certificate of Incorporation in its entirety in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the Act.

Section 7.2                                    Indemnification in Action by or in Right of Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

Section 7.3                                    Further Indemnity.  To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.1 or 7.2 above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

Section 7.4                                    Limitations on Indemnity.  Any indemnification under the provisions of Section 7.1 or 7.2 above, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as applicable.  Such determination shall be made:

 

(a)                                 by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or

Section 7.6                                    Other Indemnification.  The indemnification herein provided shall not limit the Corporation from providing any other indemnification permitted by law nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Shares held in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his, her or its name if the authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

ARTICLE XIII
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

SECTION 1.  Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of this Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) (hereinafter the “Act”), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, legal and personal representatives; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section. 2 of this Article XIII, the Corporation

 

14



 

shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred hereby shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Act requires the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or officer in his or her capacity as a Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a Director or officer including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, payment shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified hereby or otherwise.  The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of Directors and officers.

 

SECTION 2.  Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 1 of this Article XIII hereof is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

SECTION 3.  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred hereby shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, law, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

SECTION 4.  Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Act.

 

15



 

ARTICLE XIV
AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

 

SECTION 1.  Amendment by Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, amend, alter or repeal these Bylaws, or adopt new Bylaws, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors; provided that notice setting forth such alteration, amendment or repeal shall be given to each Director in writing at least three (3) days prior to said meeting and further provided that the Board of Directors may not adopt new Bylaws or amendments thereto which change the authorized number of Directors or their qualifications.

 

SECTION 2.  Amendment by Stockholders.  The stockholders, by affirmative vote of the stockholders representing a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, may make, alter, amend or repeal these Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws without notice at any annual meeting.  Provided, also, that these Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws adopted by vote of the stockholders representing a majority of all the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any special stockholders meeting when such proposed amendment, alteration or repeal or new Bylaws have been set forth in the notice of such special meeting.

June 26, 2013

 

The Hertz Corporation

225 Brae Boulevard

Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and to the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the issuance by the Company of up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”), and the issuance by the Subsidiary Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Exchange Notes.

 

The Exchange Notes and related Guarantees will be issued under an indenture dated as of October 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  The Company will offer the Exchange Notes in exchange for any and all of $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 issued on March 28, 2013 (the “Outstanding Notes”).

 

We have examined the Registration Statement and the Indenture (including the form of the Exchange Notes included as an exhibit to the Indenture), which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, instruments and other documents and have made such other and further investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed herein.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

 

In rendering the opinions that follow, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons; (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (iv) the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies; (v) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents; and (vi) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.  We have also assumed that (A) the Trustee is and has been duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (B) the Trustee had and has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered, the Indenture, (C) the Indenture is valid, binding and enforceable with

 

CHICAGO LOS ANGELES NEW YORK WASHINGTON, DC

respect to the Trustee, and (D) the Exchange Notes will be duly authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that: (i) when the Exchange Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture in exchange for the Outstanding Notes, the Exchange Notes will constitute binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms; and (ii) when the Exchange Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture in exchange for the Outstanding Notes, the Guarantees will constitute binding obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

 

Our opinions set forth above are subject to the effects of: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally; and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

Insofar as the opinions expressed herein relate to or are dependent upon matters governed by the law of (i) the State of Arkansas, we have relied on the opinion of Hilburn, Calhoon, Harper, Pruniski & Calhoun, Ltd. dated the date hereof, (ii) the State of Louisiana, we have relied on the opinion of Jones Walker, LLP dated the date hereof, (iii) the State of Nevada, we have relied on the opinion of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP dated the date hereof, and (iv) the State of Oklahoma, we have relied on the opinion of Michael E. Holdgrafer, Senior Corporate Counsel, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., dated the date hereof.

 

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the law of the State of New York, the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983 and, to the extent set forth herein, the law of the State of Arkansas, the State of Louisiana, the State of Nevada and the State of Oklahoma.

 



 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Exhibit 5.2

 

June 26, 2013

 

The Hertz Corporation

225 Brae Boulevard

Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel in the State of Louisiana to Cinelease, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (the “Louisiana Guarantor”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the subsidiaries of the Company named therein (including the Louisiana Guarantor, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the issuance by the Company of up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”), and the issuance by the Subsidiary Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Exchange Notes.

 

The Exchange Notes and related Guarantees will be issued under an indenture dated as of October 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.  The Company will offer the Exchange Notes in exchange for any and all of $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 issued on March 28, 2013.

 

In connection with rendering the opinions referred to below, we have examined copies of the following documents:

 

(i)             the Registration Statement;

 

(ii)          the Indenture (including the form of Exchange Notes included as an exhibit to the Indenture), which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement;

 

(iii)       articles of organization of the Louisiana Guarantor, dated June 13, 2007;

 

(iv)      a good standing certificate of the Louisiana Secretary of State, dated June 24, 2013, with respect to the Louisiana Guarantor (the “Good Standing Certificate”); and

 

(v)         Written Consent of the Sole Member of the Louisiana Guarantor, dated March 14, 2013, with respect to the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of its Guarantee.

 

We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, instruments and other documents and have made such other and further investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection

 



 

with the opinions expressed herein.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon representations and warranties of the Company and the Louisiana Guarantor.

 

In rendering the opinions that follow, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons; (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (iv) the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies; (v) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents; and (vi) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Louisiana Guarantor.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

(i)             the Louisiana Guarantor is validly existing as a limited liability company and, based solely on the Good Standing Certificate, in good standing under the laws of the State of Louisiana;

 

(ii)          the Louisiana Guarantor has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to issue its Guarantee of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Indenture; and

 

(iii)       the Louisiana Guarantor has, by all necessary limited liability company action, duly authorized the issuance of its Guarantee of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Indenture.

 

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of Louisiana.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement and the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission.  Jenner & Block LLP is entitled to rely on the opinions expressed herein.

We have acted as special Nevada counsel to The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Cinelease, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Nevada Guarantor”), in connection with the filing by the Company of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of guarantees (the “Exchange Guarantees”) of up to $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012, by and among the Company (as successor-in-interest to HDTFS, Inc.), the guarantors from time to time party thereto, including the Nevada Guarantor (the “Guarantors”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012, the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 19, 2012, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 8, 2013, and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 28, 2013  (as so amended, the “Indenture”).  The Exchange Notes are proposed to be issued by the Company in exchange for a like principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Original Notes”), and the Exchange Guarantees will be issued by the Guarantors in exchange for the guarantees issued by the Guarantors with respect to the Original Notes.

 

In our capacity as such counsel, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company and the Nevada Guarantor in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees, all as referenced in the Registration Statement.  For purposes of this opinion letter, and except to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, we have assumed all such proceedings have been or will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed and the terms of such issuance will be in compliance with applicable laws.

 

We have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies of the Registration Statement, the Indenture, the form of the Exchange Notes, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Nevada Guarantor, the resolutions of the board of directors of the Nevada Guarantor with respect to its Exchange Guarantee, a good standing certificate dated as of a recent date with respect to the Nevada Guarantor, and such other documents, agreements, instruments and corporate records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter.  We have obtained from officers and other representatives and agents of the Company and the Nevada Guarantor and from public officials, and have relied upon, such certificates, representations and assurances as we have deemed necessary and appropriate for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent verification that (i) the obligations of each party set forth in the documents we have reviewed

are its valid and binding obligations, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms; (ii) the statements of fact and representations and warranties set forth in the documents we reviewed are true and correct as to factual matters; (iii) each natural person executing a document has sufficient legal capacity to do so; (iv) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, the signatures on all documents that we examined are genuine, and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies conform to the original documents; and (v) all corporate records made available to us by the Nevada Guarantor, and all public records we have reviewed, are accurate and complete.

 

We are qualified to practice law in the State of Nevada.  The opinions set forth herein are expressly limited to and based exclusively on the general corporate laws of the State of Nevada, and we do not purport to be experts on, or to express any opinion with respect to the applicability or effect of, the laws of any other jurisdiction.  We express no opinion herein concerning, and we assume no responsibility as to laws or judicial decisions related to, or any orders, consents or other authorizations or approvals as may be required by, any federal laws, rules or regulations, including, without limitation, any federal securities or bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations, any state securities or “blue sky” laws, rules or regulations or any state laws regarding fraudulent transfers.

 

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions, restrictions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.             The Nevada Guarantor is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

2.             The Nevada Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to issue its Exchange Guarantee pursuant to the Indenture.

 

3.             The Nevada Guarantor has duly authorized the issuance by the Nevada Guarantor of its Exchange Guarantee pursuant to the Indenture.

 

The opinions expressed herein are based upon the applicable laws of the State of Nevada and the facts in existence as of the date of this opinion letter.  In delivering this opinion letter to you, we disclaim any obligation to update or supplement the opinions set forth herein or to apprise you of any changes in any laws or facts after such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective.  No opinion is offered or implied as to any matter, and no inference may be drawn, beyond the strict scope of the specific issues expressly addressed by the opinions set forth herein.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm therein under the heading “Legal Matters”.  In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.  Subject to all of the qualifications, limitations, exceptions, restrictions and assumptions set forth herein, Jenner & Block LLP may rely on this opinion letter as if it were an addressee hereof on this date for the sole purpose of rendering its opinion letter to the Company relating to the validity of the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees, as filed with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

Re: Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel in the State of Arkansas to Thrifty Insurance Agency, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (the “Arkansas Guarantor”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the subsidiaries of the Company named therein (including the Arkansas Guarantor, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the issuance by the Company of up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”), and the issuance by the Subsidiary Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Exchange Notes.

 

It is our understanding that the Exchange Notes and related Guarantees will be issued under an indenture dated as of October 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.  It is also our understanding that the Company will offer the Exchange Notes in exchange for any and all of $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 issued on March 28, 2013.

 

In connection with rendering the opinions referred to below, we have examined copies of the following documents:

 

(i)             the Registration Statement;

 



 

(ii)          the Indenture (including the form of Exchange Notes included as an exhibit to the Indenture), which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement;

 

(iii)       Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Arkansas Guarantor;

 

(iv)      a good standing certificate dated as of a recent date with respect to the Arkansas Guarantor;

 

(v)         resolutions of the board of directors of the Arkansas Guarantor with respect to the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of its Guarantee; and

 

(vi)      a certificate of the assistant secretary of the Arkansas Guarantor, dated as of the date hereof.

 

We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, instruments and other documents and have made such other and further investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed herein.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, without investigation, or duty to investigate, relied upon representations and warranties of the Company and the Arkansas Guarantor.

 

In rendering the opinions that follow, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the legal capacity of natural persons; (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (iv) the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies; (v) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents; (vi) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Arkansas Guarantor; (vii) there was no misrepresentation (or omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make any given representation, in the light of the circumstances under which such representation was made, not misleading), fraud or deceit by the Arkansas Guarantor in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of any document by the Arkansas Guarantor; and (viii) the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Arkansas Guarantor contained in any document supplied by it in connection with the transaction described above, are accurate and complete on and as of the date of this opinion.

 

We express no, and expressly disclaim any, opinion with respect to the following matters:

 

(a)         the enforceability of the Guarantees;

 

(b)         the accuracy or content of the Registration Statement or its compliance with federal or state securities laws; and

 

(c)          The accuracy or completeness of any financial, accounting or statistical information furnished by the Arkansas Guarantor.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein,

we are of the opinion that:

 

(i)             the Arkansas Guarantor is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Arkansas;

(iii)       the Arkansas Guarantor has, by all necessary corporate action, duly authorized the issuance of its Guarantee of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Indenture.

 

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of Arkansas.

The opinions herein expressed represent our reasoned judgment as to certain matters of law based upon the facts presented and assumed and are not, nor should they be considered as, a guaranty of any kind.

        DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE, OR TRANSMISSION OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL VIA FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION TO A NUMBER OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE, WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY. THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCOMPANYING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS COMPLETED. YOU MUST SIGN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE PROVIDED THEREFOR, WITH SIGNATURE GUARANTEE IF REQUIRED, AND COMPLETE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 INCLUDED HEREIN.

        Holders of Outstanding Notes (as defined below) should complete this Letter of Transmittal if Outstanding Notes are to be forwarded herewith. If tenders of Outstanding Notes are to be made by book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Exchange Agent at the book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder pursuant to the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Book-Entry Transfer" and "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering the Notes" in the Prospectus (as defined below), the holder must have an Agent's Message (as defined below) delivered in lieu of this Letter of Transmittal.

        Holders who wish to tender their Outstanding Notes and whose certificates for such Outstanding Notes are not immediately available, who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer on a timely basis must tender their Outstanding Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" in the Prospectus.

        Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "holder" for purposes of this Letter of Transmittal means any person in whose name Outstanding Notes are registered or any other person who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder or any person whose Outstanding Notes are held of record by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").


        The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus, dated                        , 2013 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Prospectus"), of The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and certain of the Company's subsidiaries (each, a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors"), and this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which together constitute the Company's offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Exchange Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for any and all of its outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018 issued on March 28, 2013 (the "Outstanding Notes"). The Outstanding Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the "Old Guarantees") by the Guarantors and the Exchange Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (the "New Guarantees") by the Guarantors. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, the Guarantors will issue the New Guarantees with respect to all Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer in exchange for the Old Guarantees of the Outstanding Notes in exchange for which such Exchange Notes are issued in the Exchange Offer. Throughout this Letter of Transmittal, unless the context otherwise requires and whether so expressed or not, references to the "Exchange Offer" include the Guarantors' offer to exchange the Old Guarantees for the New Guarantees, references to the "Exchange Notes" include the related New Guarantees and references to the "Outstanding Notes" include the related Old Guarantees.

        For each Outstanding Note accepted for exchange, the holder of such Outstanding Note will receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Outstanding Note. The Exchange Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 4.250% per annum, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Exchange Notes will accrue interest from the last interest payment date with respect to the Outstanding Notes, or from the original issue date if no interest has been paid with respect to such Outstanding Notes, to the day before the consummation of the Exchange Offer and thereafter, at the applicable rate of interest per annum. However, if the Outstanding Notes are surrendered for exchange on or after a record date (which is the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date, on April 1 and October 1 of each year) for an interest payment date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange and as to which interest will be paid, interest on the Exchange Notes received in exchange for such Outstanding Notes will accrue from the date of such interest payment date.

        Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning given them in the Prospectus.

        YOUR BANK OR BROKER CAN ASSIST YOU IN COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE FOLLOWED. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE PROSPECTUS AND THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT, WHOSE ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER APPEAR ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

        The undersigned has completed the appropriate boxes below and signed this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action that the undersigned desires to take with respect to the Exchange Offer.

        FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 ATTACHED AS BOX 8 MAY RESULT IN BACKUP WITHHOLDING (CURRENTLY AT THE RATE OF 28%) ON ANY CASH PAYMENTS MADE TO YOU.

DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offer must transmit their acceptances to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC. DTC will then send a computer-generated message (an "Agent's Message") to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance in which the holder of the Outstanding Notes acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of, and makes the representations and warranties contained in, this Letter of Transmittal, and the DTC participant confirms on behalf of itself and the beneficial owners of such Outstanding Notes all provisions of this Letter of Transmittal (including any representations and warranties) applicable to it and such beneficial owner as fully as if it had completed the information required herein and executed and transmitted this Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent. Each DTC participant transmitting an acceptance of the Exchange Offer through the ATOP procedures will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal. Delivery of an Agent's Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the participant identified in the Agent's Message. DTC participants may also accept the Exchange Offer by submitting a notice of guaranteed delivery through ATOP.

NOTE: SIGNATURE(S) MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW.
PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of all or any portion of the Outstanding Notes tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if such Exchange Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the undersigned hereby exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Outstanding Notes as are being tendered herewith.

        The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company, in connection with the Exchange Offer) with respect to the tendered Outstanding Notes, with full power of substitution and resubstitution (such power of attorney being deemed an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to (1) deliver certificates representing such Outstanding Notes, or transfer ownership of such Outstanding Notes on the account books maintained by the book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder(s) of the Outstanding Notes, together, in each such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company, (2) present and deliver such Outstanding Notes for transfer on the books of the Company and (3) receive all benefits or otherwise exercise all rights and incidents of beneficial ownership of such Outstanding Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.

        The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that (1) the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, (2) when such tendered Outstanding Notes are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and (3) the Outstanding Notes tendered for exchange are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies when accepted by the Company. The undersigned hereby further represents that the holder of such Outstanding Notes and/or any other person receiving Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, whether or not such person is the undersigned, (i) is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of business, (ii) has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes or the Outstanding Notes (within the meaning of the Securities Act), (iii) is not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the Company or the Guarantors, (iv) if such holder or person is not a broker-dealer, such holder or person is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Notes, (v) if such holder or person is a broker-dealer, such holder or person will receive the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale or transfer of such Exchange Notes, and (vi) is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

        The undersigned acknowledges that the Exchange Offer is being made based on the Company's understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, including Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (June 5, 1991), Shearman & Sterling (July 2, 1993) and similar no-action letters, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by each holder thereof (other than a broker-dealer who acquires such Exchange Notes directly from the Company for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or any such holder that is an "affiliate" of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder's business, such holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes (within the meaning of the Securities Act), such holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of such Exchange Notes, and such holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make a representation to the foregoing. However, the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as made in other circumstances.

5


        If a holder of the Outstanding Notes is an "affiliate" of the Company or the Guarantors, is not acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, has any arrangement or understanding with respect to a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, or is acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the representations above, then such holder (x) may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and (y) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.

        If the undersigned is a broker-dealer, it represents that it will receive the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for the Outstanding Notes, that the Outstanding Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale or transfer of such Exchange Notes; however, by so representing and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. The SEC has taken the position that such broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the Exchange Notes (other than a resale of Exchange Notes received in exchange for an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Outstanding Notes) with the Prospectus. The Prospectus may be used by certain broker-dealers (as specified in the exchange and registration rights agreement, dated as of March 28, 2013, by and among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and the representative of the initial purchasers of the Outstanding Notes named therein (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Registration Rights Agreement"), relating to the Outstanding Notes) for a period of up to 90 days after the completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company has agreed that, for such period of time, it will keep its registration statement (containing the Prospectus) effective. By tendering in the Exchange Offer, each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer acknowledges and agrees to notify the Company prior to using the Prospectus in connection with the sale or transfer of Exchange Notes and agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event which makes any statement in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, such broker-dealer will suspend use of the Prospectus until (i) the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and (ii) either the Company has furnished copies of an amended or supplemented Prospectus to such broker-dealer or, if the Company has not otherwise agreed to furnish such copies and declines to do so after such broker-dealer so requests, such broker-dealer has obtained a copy of such amended or supplemented Prospectus as filed by the Company with the SEC. Except as described above, the Prospectus may not be used for or in connection with an offer to resell, a resale or any other retransfer of Exchange Notes. A broker-dealer that would receive Exchange Notes for its own account for its Outstanding Notes, where such Outstanding Notes were not acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, will not be able to participate in the Exchange Offer.

        The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company or the Exchange Agent to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the tendered Outstanding Notes or transfer ownership of such Outstanding Notes on the account books maintained by the book-entry transfer facility. The undersigned further agrees that acceptance of any and all validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Outstanding Notes by the Company and the issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by the Company of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, and that the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder except as specifically provided for therein. The undersigned will comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

        The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Conditions." The undersigned recognizes that as a result of these conditions (which may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Company), as more particularly set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may not be required to exchange any of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby and, in such event, the Outstanding Notes not exchanged will be returned to the undersigned at the address shown above or, with respect to non-exchanged Outstanding Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, credited to the account maintained at the book-entry transfer facility indicated above in Box 2, promptly following the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. In addition, the Company may amend the terms of the Exchange Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date if any of the conditions set forth under "The Exchange Offer—Conditions" occur.

        The undersigned understands and agrees that tendering its Outstanding Notes pursuant to any of the procedures described herein will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions as set forth in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, including all

6


of the undersigned's representations and warranties. The undersigned recognizes that the Company may not be required to accept for exchange any or all of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby.

        All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned. The tendering of Outstanding Notes is irrevocable, except that tendered Outstanding Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in the terms of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal.

        Unless otherwise indicated in Box 5 below entitled "Special Registration Instructions," please deliver certificated Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing the Outstanding Notes for any Outstanding Notes not exchanged) in the name of the registered holder indicated above in Box 1. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated in Box 6 below entitled "Special Delivery Instructions," please send certificated Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing the Outstanding Notes for any Outstanding Notes not exchanged) to the registered holder at the address indicated above in Box 1. In the case of a book-entry delivery of the Outstanding Notes, please credit the Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, any non-exchanged Outstanding Notes tendered by book-entry transfer) to the account indicated above in Box 2.

        THE UNDERSIGNED, BY COMPLETING BOX 1 ABOVE ENTITLED "DESCRIPTION OF OUTSTANDING NOTES TENDERED HEREWITH" AND SIGNING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE TENDERED THE OUTSTANDING NOTES AS SET FORTH IN SUCH BOX.

Privacy Act Notice

Section 6109 requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA, or Archer MSA or HSA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions to carry out their tax laws. This information may also be disclosed to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold a portion (currently 28%) of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

Penalties

(1) Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

(2) Civil Penalty for False Information with Respect to Withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

(3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Holders may tender their Outstanding Notes pursuant to such procedures if: (i) the tender is made by or through an Eligible Guarantor Institution (as defined below); (ii) the Exchange Agent receives (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery), on or prior to the Expiration Date, a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery in substantially the form provided with this Letter of Transmittal or a properly transmitted notice of guaranteed delivery through ATOP that (a) sets forth the name and address of the holder of Outstanding Notes, the principal amount of Outstanding Notes tendered and, if applicable, the certificate numbers of the Outstanding Notes to be tendered, (b) states that the tender is being made thereby, and (c) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, the Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, together with the Outstanding Notes, or a book-entry confirmation and Agent's Message, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, will be deposited by the Eligible Guarantor Institution with the Exchange Agent; and (iii) the Exchange Agent receives a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, or facsimile thereof and the certificates representing all tendered Outstanding Notes in proper form, or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of the Outstanding Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at the appropriate book-entry transfer facility and Agent's Message, and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date.

        Any holder who wishes to tender Outstanding Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the notice of guaranteed delivery relating to such Outstanding Notes on or prior to the Expiration Date. Failure to complete the guaranteed delivery procedures outlined above will not, in and of itself, affect the validity or effect a revocation of any Letter of Transmittal form properly completed and executed by a holder who attempted to use the guaranteed delivery procedures.

        No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. Each tendering holder, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) or transmission of an Agent's Message in lieu hereof, as applicable, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of the Outstanding Notes for exchange (see Instruction 9).

2.
Partial Tenders; Withdrawals.

        Tenders of Outstanding Notes will be accepted only in the principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Holders who do not tender all of their Outstanding Notes must ensure that they retain a principal amount of Outstanding Notes equal to at least the minimum authorized denomination of $2,000. If less than the entire principal amount of Outstanding Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate is tendered, the tendering holder(s) must fill in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes tendered in the column entitled "Aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes Being Tendered" in Box 1 above. A newly issued certificate for the Outstanding Notes submitted but not tendered, or not accepted for exchange if applicable, will be sent to such holder promptly after the Expiration Date, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal. All Outstanding Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered in full unless otherwise clearly indicated. Outstanding Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date, on or after which tenders of Outstanding Notes are irrevocable.

        To be effective with respect to the tender of Outstanding Notes, a written notice of withdrawal (which may be by telegram, telex, facsimile or letter) must: (i) be received by the Exchange Agent at the address for the Exchange Agent set forth on the first page hereof prior to the Expiration Date; (ii) specify the name of the person who tendered the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn; (iii) identify the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amount of such Outstanding Notes, or, if applicable, the certificate numbers shown on the particular certificates evidencing such Outstanding Notes and the principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented by such certificates); (iv) include a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such Outstanding Notes exchanged; (v) specify the name in which any such Outstanding Notes are registered, if different from that of the tendering holder; and (vi) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on this Letter of Transmittal (including any required signature guarantee and/or any accompanying document of transfer). The Exchange Agent will return the properly withdrawn Outstanding Notes promptly following receipt of notice of withdrawal. If Outstanding Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility from which the Outstanding Notes were tendered and the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn Outstanding Notes or otherwise comply with the book-entry transfer facility's procedures. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of any notice of withdrawal, including time of receipt, will be determined by the Company, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties.

        Any Outstanding Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any Outstanding Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder (or, in the case of Outstanding Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at the book-entry transfer facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Book-Entry Transfer" and "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering the Notes" in the Prospectus, such Outstanding Notes will be credited to an account with such book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder) promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Outstanding Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering the Notes" in the Prospectus at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date.

        Neither the Company, any affiliate or assigns of the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give any notification of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give such notification (even if such notice is given to other persons). See the section of the Prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders" for more information on withdrawal of tendered Outstanding Notes.

3.

        Only a holder of Outstanding Notes, or the legal representative or attorney-in-fact of a holder, may execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal. Any beneficial owner of Outstanding Notes who wishes to accept the Exchange Offer must arrange promptly for the appropriate holder to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal or comply with the book-entry procedures, as applicable, on his or her behalf through the execution and delivery to the appropriate holder of the "Instructions to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner" form accompanying this Letter of Transmittal.

        When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of Outstanding Notes (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the DTC participant whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Outstanding Notes) listed and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required. If, however, this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Outstanding Notes listed or certificates for the Exchange Notes are to be issued, or certificates for any Outstanding Notes not tendered, or not accepted for exchange if applicable, are to be reissued, to a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Outstanding Notes, such Outstanding Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by separate written instruments (including, for example, a bond power) of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed by the registered holder, in each case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the Outstanding Notes and the endorsements on certificates and the signatures on separate written instruments must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution. If this Letter of Transmittal, any certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Company, submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Company, in its sole discretion, of such persons' authority to so act.

        Endorsements on certificates for the Outstanding Notes or signatures on separate written instruments (including bond powers) required by this Instruction 4 must be guaranteed by a member in good standing of a recognized signature medallion program, an eligible guarantor institution identified in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or one of the following firms (as these terms are used in Rule 17Ad-15): (i) a bank; (ii) a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal securities broker, government securities dealer or government securities broker; (iii) a credit union; (iv) a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or (v) a savings association (each an "Eligible Guarantor Institution").

        Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution, unless Outstanding Notes are tendered: (i) by a registered holder (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the DTC participant whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Outstanding Notes) who has not completed the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on this Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

5.
Special Registration Instructions and Special Delivery Instructions.

        Solely with respect to certificated Outstanding Notes tendered for exchange, tendering holders should indicate in Box 5 and/or Box 6 above the name and address in/to which the Exchange Notes and/or certificates for Outstanding Notes not exchanged are to be issued and/or sent, if different from the name(s) and/or address(es) of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the tax identification number (i.e., the social security number or the employer identification number, as applicable) of the person named must also be indicated. If no such instructions are given, the Exchange Notes (and any Outstanding Notes not tendered or not accepted) will be issued in the name of and sent to the holder signing this Letter of Transmittal.

6.
Transfer Taxes.

        The Company shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer and exchange of the Outstanding Notes to it or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, the Exchange Notes, or the Outstanding Notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange, are delivered to or issued in the name of a person other than the registered holder, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of Outstanding Notes to the Company or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, then the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

        Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Outstanding Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

7.
Waiver of Conditions.

        The Company reserves the absolute right to waive, in whole or in part, any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus.

8.
Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Securities.

This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed certificates have been completed.

9.
No Conditional Tenders; No Notice of Irregularities.

        No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) or transmission of an Agent's Message in lieu hereof, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Outstanding Notes for exchange. The Company reserves the right, in its reasonable judgment, to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to any particular Outstanding Note. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including in the Prospectus and in these instructions to this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Outstanding Notes must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is under any obligation to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Outstanding Notes, nor shall they incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Tenders of Outstanding Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Outstanding Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering holder promptly following the Expiration Date.

10.
Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.
