The Equity Commitment Party is acquiring the Shares for its own account or accounts or funds over which it holds voting discretion, not otherwise as a nominee or agent, and not otherwise with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof not in compliance with applicable securities Laws, and the Equity Commitment Party has no present intention of selling, granting any other participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, except in compliance with applicable securities Laws.

Section 5.8 Sophistication; Investigation. The Equity Commitment Party has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Shares. The Equity Commitment Party is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Equity Commitment Party understands and is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment (including the necessity of holding such shares for an indefinite period of time). The Equity Commitment Party has independently evaluated the merits and risks of its decision (including consulting its own legal, tax, economic and other advisors) to enter into this Agreement and disclaims reliance on any representations or warranties, either express or implied, by or on behalf of any of the Debtors.

Section 5.9 No Broker’s Fees. None of the Equity Commitment Parties, any Related Purchaser or their respective Affiliated Funds is a party to any Contract with any Person that would give rise to a valid claim against any of the Debtors for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) The Equity Commitment Party has and shall maintain through the Closing, access to sufficient available cash funds (in the form of limited partner capital commitments and/or fund-level credit facilities) to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, including the ability to fully exercise all Subscription Rights that are issued to it pursuant to the Rights Offering, and fully fund such Equity Commitment Party’s Equity Commitment.

(b) The Equity Commitment Party acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements are not conditioned in any manner upon its obtaining financing. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Dundon and the Equity Commitment Parties identified on Schedule 6.13 (the “HIL Debt Commitment Parties”) have delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of that certain fully executed debt commitment letter, dated the date hereof (such commitment letter, including all exhibits, term sheets, schedules, annexes, supplements and amendments thereto collectively the “HIL Debt Commitment Letter”) to provide debt financing in an aggregate amount of €250 million (the “HIL Debt Financing”). As of the date hereof the (i) HIL Debt Commitment Letter as to the Equity Commitment Party, and, to the knowledge of such Equity Commitment Party, the other parties thereto, are valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable by and against such parties in accordance with their terms and (ii) the HIL Debt Commitment Letter has not been withdrawn, terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any event, and (iii) no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of the Equity Commitment Party under any term or condition of the HIL Debt Commitment Letter. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements to which the Equity Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates is a party relating to the HIL Debt Financing that could affect the availability (including by imposing additional conditions precedent) or amount of any such financing at Closing. Except as set forth, described or provided for in the HIL Debt Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the relevant Equity Commitment Party to fund the HIL Debt Financing. As of the date hereof (assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII), the Equity Commitment Party has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the HIL Debt Financing will not be satisfied or waived at the Closing or that the funding contemplated in the HIL Debt Financing will not be made available to the Company at the Closing in order to consummate the Transactions in accordance with this Agreement. The Equity Commitment Party has fully paid any and all commitment fees, if any, or other fees required by the HIL Debt Commitment Letter to be paid as of the date hereof, and as of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Party is unaware of any fact or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to cause the HIL Debt Commitment Letter to be ineffective.

Section 5.11 Legal Proceedings. Other than as may exist or arise in the Chapter 11 Cases, there are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Equity Commitment Party, threatened in writing, to which the Equity Commitment Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or to which any property of the Equity Commitment Party or any of its Subsidiaries is the subject, in each case that will (or would be reasonably likely to) prohibit, delay, or adversely impact the Equity Commitment Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereunder.

(a) The Equity Commitment Party has been advised by the Company that the Shares to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that the Equity Commitment Party must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in such securities unless the offer and sale of such securities is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state or foreign securities or “Blue Sky” Laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

(b) The Equity Commitment Party (i) is either a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act and (ii) has the knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters so that the undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits, risks and consequences of an investment in any Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of such investment, including the complete loss of such investment. The Equity Commitment Party further represents that it fully understands the limitations on transfer and restrictions on sales and other dispositions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding that is the subject of indemnification set forth in Section 8.1 (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and the Indemnified Person notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person (it being understood that White & Case LLP shall be counsel acceptable to such Indemnified Persons), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 6.3(b), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 8.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 8.4 Contributions. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

Section 8.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Equity Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The EPCA Approval Order shall provide that the obligations of the Company under this Article VIII shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company may comply with the requirements of this Article VIII without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

(x) any of the EPCA Approval Order, the Order approving this Agreement, the Disclosure Statement Order or the Confirmation Order is terminated, reversed, stayed, dismissed or vacated, by the Bankruptcy Court, or any such Order is modified or amended by the Bankruptcy Court after entry without the prior written consent of the Requisite Equity Commitment Parties in a manner that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements in a way that cannot be remedied by the Company in a manner acceptable to the Requisite Equity Commitment Parties (and such action has not been reversed or vacated within ten (10) calendar days after its issuance); or

This Agreement may be terminated by the Company upon written notice to the Plan Sponsors upon the occurrence of any of the following Events, subject to the rights of the Company to fully and unconditionally waive, in writing, on a prospective or retroactive basis the occurrence of such Event; provided, however, that the Company may not seek to terminate this Agreement based upon a breach of this Agreement by any Equity Commitment Party which arises primarily out of the Company’s own actions in material breach of this Agreement:

(a) any Law or final and non-appealable Order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued after the date of this Agreement by any Governmental Entity that prohibits the implementation of the Plan or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements in a way that cannot be remedied by the Equity Commitment Parties in a manner acceptable to the Company; provided, that the termination right in this Section 9.3(a) shall not be available to the Company if the Company shall not have used its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such Order prior to its becoming permanent;

(c) the Company Board determines in good faith, based upon advice of outside counsel, that proceeding with the Restructuring contemplated herein and in the Plan, and confirmation and consummation of the Plan, would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Debtors shall give prompt written notice to Milbank LLP and Willkie LLP of any determination in accordance with this Section 9.3(c) (electronic mail among counsel being sufficient);

(h) the Plan Support Agreement is terminated with respect to any Equity Commitment Party in accordance with its terms; or

(i) the Closing Date has not occurred by the End Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.3(i) shall not be available to the Company hereto if it materially breached this Agreement in a manner that proximately caused the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(i) shall not be available to the Company if any Equity Commitment Party has initiated proceedings prior to the End Date to specifically enforce this Agreement which proceedings are still pending.

Section 9.4 Effect of Termination. Subject to the final sentence of Section 8(g) of the Plan Support Agreement (which shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis), upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Parties; provided, that (i) the obligations of the Debtors to pay the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Article III and to satisfy their indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, in each case, until such obligations have been satisfied, (ii) the provisions set forth in this Section 9.4, Section 9.5, Article VIII and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms and (iii) subject to Section 10.10 (Damages), nothing in this Section 9.4 shall relieve any Party from liability for its gross negligence or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful or intentional breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

(a) Upon consummation of an Alternative Transaction, if this Agreement is validly terminated under Section 9.2(b)(i) (solely in the event that the Company materially breaches this Agreement in a manner that proximately caused the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date), Section 9.2(b)(ii) as a result of the Company terminating the Plan Support Agreement pursuant to Section 8(d)(4) thereof, Section 9.2(b)(iii), Section 9.2(b)(iv), Section 9.2(b)(ix), or Section 9.3(c) and no Equity Commitment Party has breached its obligations under this Agreement such that the Company has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b), the Debtors shall pay WP 10.7%, Centerbridge 10.7%, Dundon 15.6%, and the Initial Consenting Noteholders 63.0% of a cash Termination Payment equal to $77,200,000 (the “Termination Payment”), which amount shall be paid within three (3) Business Days following consummation of such Alternative Transaction by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as WP, Centerbridge, Dundon and each of the Initial Consenting Noteholders may designate. The Initial Consenting Noteholders’ portion of the Termination Payment shall be allocated as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

(b) The Termination Payment shall be fully earned, nonrefundable and non-avoidable upon entry of the EPCA Approval Order and shall be paid by the Debtors, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes. The Termination Payment shall, pursuant to the EPCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses against each of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Termination Payment is not intended to be a penalty but rather constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Equity Commitment Parties in the circumstances in which the Termination Payment is paid for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a valid termination as set forth in this Section 9.5, each Equity Commitment Party acknowledges and agrees that the payment of its pro rata portion of the Termination Payment shall be its sole and exclusive remedy, at Law and in equity or otherwise, against the Debtors. In no event shall any Equity Commitment Party be entitled to any Termination Payment more than once.

Section 10.1 Notices. All notices and other communications in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent via email (with confirmation), mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or delivered by an express courier (with confirmation) to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as may be specified by like notice):

Section 10.2 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by any Person (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Company and the Requisite Equity Commitment Parties, and any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.2 shall be void ab initio provided, that each Equity Commitment Party may, without the consent of any other Party, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its right to purchase the Shares), in whole or in part, to one or more of its Affiliates or Affiliated Funds; provided, further that no such assignment shall relieve the relevant Equity Commitment Party of its obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in Section 6.12 with respect to D&O Indemnified Persons, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person any rights or remedies under this Agreement other than the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party hereto recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement binds only the desk or business unit that executes this Agreement and shall not be binding on any other desk, business unit or affiliate, unless such desk, business unit or affiliate separately becomes a Party hereto.

(a) This Agreement (including the agreements attached as Exhibits to and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) and the Plan Support Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties (or any subset thereof) with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, (including, without limitation, those certain Equity Commitment Letters, each dated March 29, 2021, by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., Hertz Corp. and each of (i) Centerbridge Capital Partners IV, L.P., (ii) Dundon and (iii) Warburg Pincus (Callisto) Global Growth (Cayman), L.P., Warburg Pincus (Europa) Global Growth (Cayman), L.P., Warburg Pincus Global Growth-B (Cayman), L.P., Warburg Pincus Global Growth-E (Cayman), L.P., Warburg Pincus Global Growth Partners (Cayman), L.P. and WP Global Growth Partners (Cayman), L.P.) except that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed among the Parties will each continue in full force and effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or the Confirmation Order (and any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or an affirmative vote to accept the Plan by any Equity Commitment Party, nothing contained in the Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or Confirmation Order (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) shall alter, amend or modify the rights of the Equity Commitment Parties under this Agreement unless such alteration, amendment or modification has been made in accordance with Section 10.7.

Section 10.7 Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative; Consent. This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified, or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Company (on behalf of itself and the other Debtors) and the Requisite Equity Commitment Parties. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived (i) by the Company only by a written instrument executed by the Company (on behalf of itself and the other Debtors) and (ii) by the Equity Commitment Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Requisite Equity Commitment Parties. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

Section 10.12 Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms, pursue the consummation of the Restructuring, or determine the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.

Section 10.13 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates, or any of such Party’s Affiliates’ or respective Related Parties in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.13 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Effective Date, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the earlier of (x) the Effective Date and (y) a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, neither the Company, the Debtors, nor any of their Affiliates or any of their respective direct or indirect general or limited partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents may assert any claim against the Equity Commitment Parties in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than a claim seeking an order of specific performance in the circumstances provided for in Section 10.9), it being understood that this Agreement will terminate automatically and immediately upon the assertion of any such claim.

Section 10.14 Company Disclosure Schedules. It is expressly understood and agreed that (a) the disclosure of any fact or item in any section of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other Section or subsection of this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Schedules to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face, (b) the disclosure of any matter or item in the Company Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement that such matter or item is required to be disclosed therein, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement, and (c) the mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has resulted in and would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Rights Offering Share is being distributed and issued by the Debtor without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D thereunder.¹

None of the Subscription Rights or Rights Offering Shares issuable upon exercise of such rights distributed pursuant to these Rights Offering Procedures have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, nor any state or local law requiring registration for offer and sale of a security. Any Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder that subscribes for Rights Offering Shares will be subject to restrictions under the Securities Act on its ability to resell those securities. Resale restrictions are discussed in further detail in the Disclosure Statement and Subscribers are advised to carefully review the information contained therein.

No Subscription Rights may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, participated, donated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, directly or indirectly (including through derivatives, options, swaps, forward sales or other transactions in which any person receives the right to own or acquire any current or future interest in the Subscription Rights, the Rights Offering Shares, the Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claims and any related claims), except in connection with a transfer by a Holder of Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claims of such underlying Claims.

None of the Rights Offering Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, nor any State or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security, and no Rights Offering Shares may be sold or transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement or exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Participation in the Rights Offering is limited to Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders. The Rights Offering Shares are available only to Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe or purchase will be entered into only with Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders. No offer or invitation to subscribe or purchase is being made to any person who is not an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder and no such person should act or rely on any offer or invitation to subscribe or purchase Rights Offering Shares contained in this document.

The Rights Offering is being conducted in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor or any of its agents that participate, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of a security offered or sold under the plan of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a newly organized successor to the debtor under the plan, is not liable, on account of such participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of securities.

¹ These Rights Offering Procedures remain subject to continuing securities law review.

The Subscription Form and all other required documentation to participate in the Rights Offering must be completed and timely submitted along with arrangement of payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price for such Subscription Rights, which must be actually and timely received by the Subscription Agent in no event later than the Subscription Expiration Deadline, in accordance all terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures, the Subscription Form, and the Subscription Agreement, as applicable. All questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form, and eligibility of any exercise, or purported exercise of Subscription Rights, shall be determined by the Debtors in consultation with the Requisite Commitment Parties. Any Rights Offering submissions that do not properly comply with the requirements set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures, the Subscription Form, and the Subscription Agreement, will be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all such defects and irregularities have been waived in writing by the Debtors (after consulting with the Requisite Commitment Parties) or timely cured. Unless waived by the Debtors in writing, any defects or irregularities must be cured by the Subscription Expiration Deadline in order to participate in the Rights Offering. The Debtors may in the exercise of their sole discretion provide notice to Subscribers of defects or irregularities in connection with the submission of such Subscription Forms; provided, that neither the Debtors nor the Requisite Commitment Parties, nor the Reorganized Debtors nor any of their respective employees, Affiliates, or professionals shall incur any liability for giving, or failing to give, such notification and such opportunity to cure. For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of an inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, or otherwise defective Subscription Form or the failure to remit timely and full payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price to the Subscription Agent may result in the irrevocable relinquishment and waiver of a Subscriber’s purported right, if any, to participate in the Rights Offering.

Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders² should note the following dates and times relating to the Rights Offering:

² As set forth in the Plan, “Unsecured Funded Debt Claims”: means (i) the Unsecured Notes Claims and (ii) the ALOC Facility Claims.”

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan (as defined below).³

³ To the extent the order approving the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Approving Rights Offering Procedures and Related Materials, (II) Authorizing Debtors to Conduct Rights Offering in Connection with Debtors' Plan of Reorganization, and (III) Granting Related Relief) (the “Order”) conflicts with these Rights Offering Procedures, the Order shall govern.

On [April 3, 2021], the Debtors filed the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of The Hertz Corporation and its Debtor Affiliates (as may be altered, amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Plan”), and the Disclosure Statement for [Second] Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of The Hertz Corporation and its Debtor Affiliates (as such may be altered, amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claim will receive Subscription Rights and may, subject to the eligibility requirements set forth in these Rights Offering Procedures, and the Plan, subscribe for its pro rata share of the Reorganized Hertz Parent/Corp. Interests being offered in the Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering Shares”), provided that it (i) timely and properly executes and delivers its Subscription Form (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) and an executed Subscription Agreement, to the Subscription Agent in advance of the Subscription Expiration Deadline and (ii) pays the Aggregate Purchase Price as set forth in the paragraph below.

No Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering unless the Aggregate Purchase Price for the Rights Offering Shares it subscribes for is received by the Subscription Agent (i) in the case of an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder that is not a Equity Commitment Party, by the Subscription Expiration Deadline, and (ii) in the case of an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder that is an Equity Commitment Party, by the Escrow Account Funding Date. No interest is payable on any advanced funding of the Aggregate Purchase Price. If the Rights Offering is terminated for any reason, your Aggregate Purchase Price will be returned to you promptly. No interest will be paid on any returned Aggregate Purchase Price.

As part of the exercise process, following exercise of Subscription Rights, the Unsecured Notes which are held through DTC and the other relevant depositories will be frozen from trading, as described below. All beneficial holders of Unsecured Notes that are not registered holders must complete (or coordinate with each of their Subscription Nominees, as applicable, to arrange for the timely completion and submission of) the Beneficial Holder Subscription Form, which is attached to the Subscription Form as Annex B. Such beneficial holders should permit sufficient time to allow each Subscription Nominee, as applicable, to process and deliver the underlying Unsecured Notes through DTC Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) and complete and submit all the information required by the Beneficial Holder Subscription Form to the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline. By giving the instruction to its Subscription Nominee to submit the underlying Unsecured Notes through ATOP, the Holder is (i) authorizing its Subscription Nominee to exercise all Subscription Rights associated with the amount of Unsecured Notes as to which the instruction pertains; and (ii) certifying that it understands that, once submitted, the underlying Unsecured Notes will be frozen from trading until the Effective Date, at which point (a) the underlying Unsecured Notes will be cancelled pursuant to the Plan; and (b) the Holder will additionally receive any related Rights Offering Shares. The amount of time necessary for a Nominee to process and deliver the applicable Unsecured Notes through ATOP may vary. Beneficial holders of Unsecured Notes are urged to consult with their Subscription Nominees to ensure the timely submission of their Beneficial Holder Subscription Form to the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline. Failure to submit (or arrange for each Subscription Nominee, as applicable, to submit) such Beneficial Holder Subscription Form (or other instructions required by the Nominee) on a timely basis will result in such Holder being deemed to have irrevocably relinquished and waived their Subscription Rights. None of the Company, the Solicitation Agent, or any of the Equity Commitment Parties will have any liability for any such failure.

No Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder (except an Equity Commitment Party) shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering unless the Aggregate Purchase Price for the Rights Offering Shares it subscribes for is received by the Solicitation Agent by the Subscription Expiration Deadline. For all Eligible Holders (except an Equity Commitment Party), payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price must be made at or before the time the Beneficial Holder Subscription Form is submitted, but in no event later than the Subscription Expiration Deadline.

Equity Commitment Parties are party to the EPCA, have already been designated as Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders, and are known to the Debtors. The rights and obligations of the Equity Commitment Parties in the Rights Offering shall be governed by the EPCA to the extent the rights or obligations set forth therein differ from the rights and obligations set forth in these Rights Offering Procedures or any Subscription Form. For the avoidance of doubt, the Equity Commitment Parties shall only be required to submit a Subscription Form to the extent they are Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims or ALOC Facility Claims and seek to exercise Subscription Rights in that capacity.

In order to participate in the Rights Offering, you must complete all the steps outlined below. If all of the steps outlined below are not completed by the Subscription Expiration Deadline or the Escrow Account Funding Date, as applicable, you shall be deemed to have forever and irrevocably relinquished and waived your right to participate in the Rights Offering.

Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the Rights Offering. Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders shall be eligible to receive Subscription Rights to subscribe for their pro rata portion of the applicable Rights Offering Shares.

Only a Holder of an ALOC Facility Claim as of the Record Date or an Unsecured Note Claim as of the ATOP Date who is also either an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act (“Accredited Investor”) or a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act (“Qualified Institutional Buyer”) and who timely and properly submits all documentation and required payments to the Subscription Agent in accordance with the procedures set forth herein may be deemed eligible to participate in the Rights Offering (an “Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder”). Each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder must provide to the Subscription Agent, the Equity Commitment Parties and the Company any information and certifications reasonably requested of any of them as to its status as an Accredited Investor or Qualified Institutional Buyer.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, these Rights Offering Procedures and the Subscription Agreement, each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder is entitled to subscribe for up to one Rights Offering Share per $[●] of Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claims, at a purchase price of $[●] per share (the “Rights Offering Share Price”).

[Any holder of an Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claim that is not an Accredited Investor or Qualified Institutional Buyer (a “Non-Eligible Participant”) will be eligible to receive a distribution (the “Non-Eligible Participant Distribution”) upon settlement of the Rights Offering. In order to obtain such Non-Eligible Participant Distributions, such Non-Eligible Participants must timely tender their Unsecured Notes on ATOP and select the appropriate designations on DTC as specified in the Plan.To the extent Non-Eligible Participants fail to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and these Rights Offering Procedures, the Non-Eligible Participants Distribution right will be irrevocably relinquished and waived.]

There will be no over-subscription privilege in the Rights Offering. Any Rights Offering Shares that are unsubscribed by the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders entitled thereto will not be offered to other Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders, but will be purchased by the applicable Equity Commitment Parties in accordance with the EPCA. Subject to the terms and conditions of the EPCA, each Equity Commitment Party has agreed to (i) purchase (on a several and not joint basis) their share of the Rights Offering Shares that are not purchased by Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are not Equity Commitment Parties in the Rights Offering (the “Unsubscribed Shares”) and (ii) exercise (on a several and not joint basis) all Subscription Rights that are issued to it (or such Related Purchaser) pursuant to the Rights Offering, and duly purchase all Rights Offering Shares issuable to it pursuant to such exercise in accordance with the EPCA, the Rights Offering Procedures, and the Plan.

Any Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder that subscribes for Rights Offering Shares will be subject to restrictions under the Securities Act on its ability to resell those securities. Resale restrictions are discussed in more detail in Article VI of the Disclosure Statement, entitled “Transfer Restrictions and Consequences Under Federal Securities Law.”

SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING PROCEDURES AND THE EPCA IN THE CASE OF ANY EQUITY COMMITMENT PARTY, ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS SET FORTH IN SUBSCRIPTION FORM(S) ARE IRREVOCABLE.

The Rights Offering will commence on the Subscription Commencement Date and will expire at the Subscription Expiration Deadline (the “Subscription Period”).

Each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder intending to purchase Rights Offering Shares in the Rights Offering must affirmatively elect to exercise its Subscription Rights in the manner set forth in the Subscription Form by the Subscription Expiration Deadline.

Any exercise of Subscription Rights after the Subscription Expiration Deadline will not be allowed and any purported exercise received by the Subscription Agent after the Subscription Expiration Deadline, regardless of when the documents or payment relating to such exercise were sent, will not be honored.

The Subscription Expiration Deadline may be extended with the consent of the Requisite Commitment Parties, or as required by law.

On the Subscription Commencement Date, the Subscription Agent shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, the Rights Offering Procedures, the Subscription Form, and the Subscription Agreement (collectively, the “Rights Offering Materials”), to all Unsecured Funded Debt Holders in the ordinary course of distribution, including through DTC, and to each bank, broker, or other nominee (each, a “Subscription Nominee”) for any applicable Unsecured Funded Debt Holder identified to the Subscription Agent in advance of the Subscription Commencement Date. Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders must instruct their Subscription Nominee, as applicable, to tender/block their positions in the DTC or relevant depository. The Subscription Agent shall use such information only for purposes consistent with the Rights Offering Procedures and any order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Copies of the Rights Offering Materials may also be obtained by contacting the Subscription Agent or visiting the Debtors’ restructuring website at http://restructuring.primeclerk.com/hertz.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, these Rights Offering Procedures and the Subscription Agreement, each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder may exercise all or any portion of such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder’s Subscription Rights.

In order to facilitate the exercise of the Subscription Rights, beginning on the Subscription Commencement Date, the Subscription Agent shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, a Subscription Agreement to each Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claim in the ordinary course of distribution, including through DTC, and to each bank, broker, or other nominee for any applicable Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claim, together with appropriate instructions for the proper completion, due execution, and timely delivery of the executed Subscription Agreement, and the payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price for its Rights Offering Shares. Noteholders will also need to instruct their Subscription Nominee to tender/block their positions in the relevant depository.

(a) In order to validly exercise its Subscription Rights, each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder that is not an Equity Commitment Party must:

(b) In order to validly exercise its Subscription Rights, each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder that is an Equity Commitment Party must:

All Equity Commitment Parties must pay their applicable funding amount directly to the funding account or as otherwise permitted or directed by the EPCA.

All Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders must deliver their completed Subscription Form (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, together with applicable annexes and exhibits), completed Subscription Agreement, and payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder (with respect to the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are not Equity Commitment Parties) directly to the Subscription Agent on or before the Subscription Expiration Deadline. In all cases, Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are Equity Commitment Parties must deliver their payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Equity Commitment Party directly to the Subscription Agent no later than the time specified in the EPCA.

Any overpayment in connection with such election will be returned, without interest, to such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder as soon as reasonably practicable. Any refund of overpayments that is less than $10.00 shall be paid to the Debtor.

In the event that the funds received by the Subscription Agent from any Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder do not correspond to the Aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder, the number of the Rights Offering Shares deemed to be purchased by such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder will be the lesser of (a) the number of the Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder and (b) a number of the Rights Offering Shares determined by dividing the amount of the funds received by the Rights Offering Share Price.

The cash paid to the Subscription Agent in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures will be deposited and held by the Subscription Agent in a segregated escrow account designed in escrow agreements mutually satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Debtors until administered in connection with the settlement of the Rights Offering on the Effective Date. The Subscription Agent may not use such cash for any other purpose prior to the Effective Date and may not encumber or permit such cash to be encumbered with any lien or similar encumbrance. The cash held by the Subscription Agent hereunder shall not be deemed part of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates and, for the avoidance of doubt, will be non-interest bearing.

The Subscription Rights are not detachable from the Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claims. If any Subscription Rights are transferred by an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder, except in connection with a transfer by a Holder of Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claims of such underlying Claims, such Subscription Rights will be cancelled and neither such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder nor the purported transferee will receive any Rights Offering Shares otherwise purchasable on account of such transferred Subscription Rights.

Once an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder has properly exercised its Subscription Rights, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement and the EPCA in the case of any Equity Commitment Party, such exercise will be irrevocable.

If the Rights Offering is not consummated or otherwise terminated prior to the Effective Date, any cash paid to the Subscription Agent will be returned, without interest, to the applicable Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder as soon as reasonably practicable. Unless the Effective Date has occurred, the Rights Offerings will be deemed automatically terminated without any action of any party upon the earlier of (i) withdrawal of the Plan, (ii) termination of the Plan Support Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) termination of the EPCA in accordance with its terms and (iv) the Outside Date (as defined in the EPCA) (as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms of the EPCA).

The settlement of the Rights Offering is conditioned on confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, compliance by the Debtors with these Rights Offering Procedures, and the simultaneous occurrence of the Effective Date. The Debtors intend that the Rights Offering Shares will be issued to the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders and/or to any Affiliates (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) that the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders so designate in the Subscription Form in book-entry form, and that DTC, or its nominee, will be the holder of record of such Rights Offering Shares for any Rights Offering Shares exercised through a Subscription Nominee or those registered holders who wish to hold their Rights Offering Shares at a Subscription Nominee (as designated on the Subscription Form). To the extent DTC is unwilling or unable to make the Rights Offering Shares eligible on the DTC system, the Rights Offering Shares will be issued directly to the Eligible Holders on the books and records of the transfer agent.

No fractional rights or Rights Offering Shares will be issued in the Rights Offering. All share allocations (including each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder’s Rights Offering Shares) will be calculated and rounded down to the nearest whole share.

All questions concerning the timeliness, viability, form, and eligibility of any exercise of Subscription Rights shall be determined by the Debtors in consultation with the Requisite Commitment Parties and, if necessary, subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors will not deem received nor otherwise accept Subscription Forms that are incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, or otherwise fail to conform to the requirements set forth in these Rights Offering Procedures and the instructions contained in the Subscription Form. Debtors may, in the exercise of their sole discretion, provide notification to the Subscriber of such defects or irregularities and permit such defects or irregularities to be waived, provided such waiver is executed in writing, or otherwise timely cured. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscription Agreements will be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all defects or irregularities have been waived in writing or timely cured. Neither the Debtors nor the Requisite Commitment Parties, nor Reorganized Debtors nor any of their respective employees, Affiliates, or professionals shall incur any liability for giving, or failing to give, such notification or opportunity to cure.

Before exercising any Subscription Rights, Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders should read the Disclosure Statement and the Plan for information relating to the Debtors and the risk factors to be considered.

The Debtors reserve the right to modify these Rights Offering Procedures, or adopt additional procedures consistent with these Rights Offering Procedures, to effectuate the Rights Offering and to issue the Rights Offering Shares (subject to consultation with and the consent of the Requisite Commitment Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Debtors shall provide written notice, including by electronic mail, to each Holder of an Allowed Unsecured Funded Debt Claim of any material modification to these Rights Offering Procedures made after the Subscription Commencement Date. In so doing, the Debtors may execute and enter into agreements and take further action that the Debtors determine in good faith are necessary and appropriate to effectuate and implement the Rights Offering and the issuance of the Rights Offering Shares. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed so as to permit the Debtors to modify the terms of any executed and delivered Subscription Agreement without the reasonable consent of the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder party thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Equity Commitment Party is unable to comply with any of the technical requirements hereunder (e.g., processing and delivering underlying Unsecured Notes through ATOP), the Debtors shall work in good faith to modify these procedures to ensure such Equity Commitment Party can subscribe for all of the Subscription Rights issued to it in accordance with the EPCA, including, by way of example and not limitation, permitting such Equity Commitment Party to demonstrate ownership of Unsecured Notes via medallion signature from a custodian and/or certification from such Equity Commitment Party.

The Debtors shall undertake reasonable procedures to confirm that each participant in the Rights Offering is in fact an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder, including, but not limited to, requiring additional certifications by such participant to that effect and other diligence measures as the Debtors deem reasonably necessary.

All calculations, including, to the extent applicable, the calculation of (i) the value of any Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder’s Allowed Claims for the purposes of the Rights Offering and (ii) any Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder’s Rights Offering Shares, shall be made in good faith by the Debtor and in each case in accordance with any Claim amounts included in the Plan, and any disputes regarding such calculations shall be subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court.

The Rights Offering Instructions attached hereto should be read carefully and strictly followed by the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders.

Questions relating to the Rights Offering should be directed to the Subscription Agent toll free at the following telephone numbers: (877) 428-4661 (domestic telephone number) or (929) 955-3421 (international telephone number) or via e-mail at Hertzsubscription@primeclerk.com.

The risk of non-delivery of all documents and payments to the Subscription Agent is on the Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder electing to exercise its Subscription Rights and not the Debtors or the Subscription Agent.

Rights Offering Shares that are not exercised will be relinquished on the Subscription Expiration Deadline. If, on or prior to the Subscription Expiration Deadline, the Subscription Agent for any reason does not receive from an Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder a duly completed applicable Subscription Form (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, and any other documentation required by these procedures), such Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Rights Offering in respect of Eligible Holder Securities. Any attempt to exercise Subscription Rights after the Subscription Expiration Deadline in respect of Unsecured Funded Debt Claims shall be null and void and the Company shall not be obligated to honor any such purported exercise received by the Subscription Agent after the Subscription Expiration Deadline regardless of when the documents relating thereto were sent. The method of delivery of the applicable Subscription Form and any other required documents is at each Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holder’s option and sole risk, and delivery will be considered made only when actually received by the Subscription Agent. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is encouraged and strongly recommended. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery by the Subscription Expiration Deadline.

Terms used and not defined herein or in the Subscription Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

To elect to participate in the Rights Offering, you must follow the instructions set out below:

The Subscription Expiration Deadline is 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on [June 4], 2021.

Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are not Equity Commitment Parties should follow the delivery and payment instructions provided in the Subscription Form. Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are Equity Commitment Parties should follow the payment instructions in the Funding Notice.

Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are not Equity Commitment Parties must deliver the appropriate funding directly to the Subscription Agent no later than the Subscription Expiration Deadline. Eligible Unsecured Funded Debt Holders that are Equity Commitment Parties must deliver the appropriate funding directly to the Subscription Agent no later than the Escrow Account Funding Date.
