IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ANNUAL
MEETING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

The Board of Directors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. is soliciting proxies to be used at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Thursday, May 17, 2007, beginning at 10:30 a.m. (Park Ridge time) at the Park Ridge Marriott Hotel, 300 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey  07656. This proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being mailed to stockholders beginning April 12, 2007.

Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Proxy Statement (i) the “Corporation” means Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., our top level holding company, (ii) ”Hertz” means The Hertz Corporation, our primary operating company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Investors, Inc., which is wholly owned by the Corporation, (iii) ”we,” “us” and “our” mean the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hertz, (iv) ”our Board” means the Board of Directors of the Corporation and (v) ”our common stock” means the common stock of the Corporation.

The Purpose of the Annual Meeting

At the annual meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters set forth in the notice of meeting, including the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Corporation’s senior management will also present information about the Corporation’s performance during 2006 and will answer questions from stockholders.

Stockholders Entitled to Vote at the Annual Meeting

Our Board has established the record date for the annual meeting as April 2, 2007. Only holders of record of the Corporation’s common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting. On April 2, 2007, the Corporation had 320,621,080 shares of common stock outstanding.

Voting Procedures; Quorum

If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote your shares at the annual meeting by attending the meeting and completing a ballot or by dating, signing and completing the proxy card and returning it without delay in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage stamp if mailed in the United States.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee, such as a broker, holding shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner, does not vote on a particular proposal because that nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to a proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote and stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

The Corporation’s by-laws provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting, present in person or by proxy, is required both for the election of directors and for the ratification of the appointment of our independent public accounting firm. You may vote for all the director nominees, withhold authority to vote for one or more director nominees or abstain from voting on one or more director nominees. With respect to the ratification of our independent public accounting firm, you may vote for or against the proposal, or abstain from voting on the proposal. If you abstain from voting for a director nominee or for the ratification of the appointment of our independent public accounting firm, your abstention will have the

1

---

same effect as a vote against that director nominee or proposal because abstentions are treated as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the number of shares entitled to vote on the proposal in question, but do not contribute to the affirmative votes required to elect the director nominee or approve the proposal, as the case may be. Broker non-votes with respect to a director nominee or the proposal to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because a broker non-vote will count neither as a vote for nor as a vote against the director nominee or proposal, as the case may be.

If you are a stockholder of shares held in street name, and you would like to instruct your broker how to vote your shares, you should follow the directions provided by your broker. Please note that because the New York Stock Exchange rules currently view uncontested director elections and the ratification of independent public accounting firms as routine matters, your broker is permitted to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement if it does not receive instructions from you.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke your proxy before it is voted at the annual meeting by delivering a signed revocation letter to Harold E. Rolfe, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, or by submitting a new proxy, dated later than your first proxy, in the way described above under “Voting Procedures.”  If you are attending in person and have previously mailed your proxy card, you may revoke your proxy and vote in person at the meeting. If you are a stockholder of shares held in street name by your broker and you have directed your broker to vote your shares, you should instruct your broker to change your vote.

Solicitation of Proxies

Proxies may be solicited on behalf of our Board by mail, telephone, other electronic means or in person, and Hertz will pay the solicitation costs on behalf of the Corporation. Copies of proxy materials and of our annual report to stockholders for 2006 will be supplied to brokers, dealers, banks and voting trustees, or their nominees, for the purpose of soliciting proxies from beneficial owners, and Hertz will reimburse those record holders for their reasonable expenses on behalf of the Corporation. Georgeson Inc. has been retained by Hertz to facilitate the distribution of proxy materials at a fee of $1,175 plus distribution costs and other costs and expenses.

Additional Information

The Corporation’s annual report to stockholders contains the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006, which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may be obtained via a link posted on the “About Hertz—Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” portion of our website, www.hertz.com. Additional copies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any exhibits thereto that are not included in the Corporation’s annual report to stockholders, may be obtained in a reasonable time without charge upon written request to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey  07656-0713, Attention:  Corporate Secretary.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

Board Governance

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. The structure of our Board is described above under “Election of Directors—Board Structure.”

Our Board has adopted written corporate governance guidelines. Those guidelines set forth requirements relating to director independence, term limits on non-management directors’ service, simultaneous service on other boards and changes in directors’ principal employment. They establish responsibilities for meeting preparation and participation, the evaluation of our financial performance and strategic planning and the regular conduct of meetings of non-management directors outside the presence of management directors. They also provide for directors to have direct access to our management and employees, as well as to our outside counsel and auditors.

Our Board has also adopted written standards of business conduct applicable to our chief executive and financial officers, our controller and all our other officers and employees worldwide, as well as a written code of ethics applicable to our Board. Copies of our corporate governance guidelines, standards of business conduct and director code of ethics are available without charge on the “About Hertz—Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” portion of our website or upon request in writing to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Stockholders and other interested parties who wish to contact our directors may send written correspondence, in care of the Corporate Secretary, to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713.

Communications addressed to directors that discuss business or other matters relevant to the activities of our Board will be preliminarily reviewed by management and then distributed either in summary form or by delivering a copy of the communication. Communications will be distributed to the director, or group of directors, to whom they are addressed. With respect to other correspondence received by the Corporation that is addressed to one or more directors, the Board has requested that the following items not be distributed to directors, because they generally fall into the purview of management, rather than the Board: junk mail and mass mailings, product and services complaints, product and services inquiries, resumes and other forms of job inquiries, solicitations for charitable donations, surveys, business solicitations and advertisements.

Board Independence

Investment funds associated with or designated by CD&R, Carlyle and MLGPE collectively own over 50% of our outstanding common stock. Because these stockholders are parties to a voting agreement, they are considered a “group” and we are therefore considered a “controlled company,” within the meaning of New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE,” rules. As a result, we rely on exemptions from the requirements of having a majority of independent directors, a fully independent nominating/corporate governance committee, a fully independent compensation committee and other requirements prescribed for such committees by the NYSE. For a description of the Stockholders’ Agreement to which these stockholders are a party, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Our Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is “independent” as defined in the federal securities laws and NYSE rules. The standards for determining director independence are specified in Annex A to our corporate governance guidelines. See “Board Governance”. In view of our status as a controlled company under NYSE rules, our Board has not made a determination of independence with respect to any of our directors not serving on our Audit Committee.

9

---

In considering the independence of Messrs. Berquist and Wolf, our Board took into consideration certain relationships between their respective employers and us.

Mr. Berquist is Executive Vice President, Financial Reporting and Enterprise Risk Management for Marriott International, Inc. Hertz and Marriott are parties to a Global Master Concession and Joint Marketing Agreement which provides, among other things, for (i) Marriott to grant Hertz concessions at certain of its hotels, (ii) Marriott Rewards participants to earn points from Hertz car rentals, (iii) Marriott customers are given the opportunity to be referred to Hertz to reserve rental cars in connection with telephone or Internet contacts made with Marriott, and (iv) Hertz customers are given the opportunity to be referred to Marriott to make hotel reservations in connection with Internet contacts made with Hertz. Payments by Hertz to Marriott under this agreement did not exceed 0.1% of Marriott’s gross revenues in any of the last three fiscal years. Most of the payments to Marriott are passed through to third party owners of hotels which are managed or franchised by Marriott. Payments by Marriott to Hertz under this agreement were negligible. In addition, Marriott is a corporate customer of Hertz’s car rental operations. Pursuant to this arrangement, Marriott employees rent cars from Hertz from time to time. Payments by Marriott to Hertz pursuant to this arrangement were less than 0.1% of Marriott’s gross revenues for each of the last three fiscal years. Mr. Berquist reported that he does not have, and has never had, responsibility for any commercial relationships between Hertz and Marriott.

Mr. Wolf is Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Norfolk Southern Corporation. Hertz’s U.S. equipment rental subsidiary, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or “HERC,” has an equipment rental relationship with Norfolk Southern through the Rail Market Place. Payments by Norfolk Southern to HERC under that program did not exceed 0.1% of Norfolk Southern’s revenues in any of the last three fiscal years. Car rental revenues paid by Norfolk Southern to Hertz and its licenses which participate in Hertz’s dividend program also did not exceed 0.1% of Norfolk Southern’s revenues in any of the last three fiscal years. Mr. Wolf reported that he does not have, and has never had, responsibility for any commercial relationships between Norfolk Southern and Hertz or HERC.

Board Meetings

During the year 2006, our Board held seven meetings. Each of our directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of our Board held during the period in which he was a director and the total number of meetings held by all Board committees on which he served during the periods that he served.

We do not have a policy with regard to directors’ attendance at annual meetings of security holders. The 2007 annual meeting will be the first annual meeting of our security holders since we became a public company.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing committees—Audit, Compensation and Executive and Governance. Their composition and roles are discussed below.

The Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Barry H. Beracha (Chair), Carl T. Berquist, Michael J. Durham and Henry C. Wolf. Our Board has designated each of the four members of our Audit Committee “audit committee financial experts” and each has been determined to be “financially literate” under NYSE rules. Prior to the Corporation’s initial public offering, our Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Nathan K. Sleeper, Gregory S. Ledford and George A. Bitar.

Our Audit Committee held eleven meetings in 2006.

Our Audit Committee has a written charter. Under it, our Audit Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by overseeing and monitoring our accounting, financial and external reporting policies and practices; the integrity of our financial statements; the independence, qualifications and performance of our independent auditor; the performance of our internal audit function; the management information services and operational policies and practices that affect our internal control; our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our standards of business conduct and ethics; and the preparation of our Audit Committee’s report included in our proxy statements. In discharging its duties, our Audit Committee has the authority to retain independent legal, accounting and other advisors.

The charter for our Audit Committee is available without charge on the “About Hertz—Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” portion of the Corporation’s website, www.hertz.com, or to any stockholder, upon request in writing to The Hertz Corporation, 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

The Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. David H. Wasserman (Chair), Brian A. Bernasek and Robert F. End. Mr. Gregory S. Ledford also served as a member of our Compensation Committee from the date of the Corporation’s initial public offering through December 21, 2006. Prior to the Corporation’s initial public offering, our former director Mr. William E. Conway, Jr. also served on our Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee held four meetings in 2006.

Our Compensation Committee has a written charter. Under it, our Compensation Committee oversees our compensation and benefit policies generally; evaluates the performance of our chief executive officer as it relates to all elements of compensation, as well as the performance of our senior management group; approves and recommends to our Board all compensation plans for other members of our senior management group; approves the short-term compensation of our senior management group (subject, in the case of our chief executive officer, to the approval of our Board); approves and authorizes grants to our senior management group under our incentive plans; prepares reports on executive compensation required for inclusion in our proxy statements; and reviews our management succession plan. The Compensation Committee is permitted to delegate its responsibilities to subcommittees as it deems appropriate.

The charter for our Compensation Committee is available without charge on the “About Hertz—Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” portion of the Corporation’s website, www.hertz.com, or to any stockholder, upon request in writing to The Hertz Corporation, 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

The Executive and Governance Committee

Our Executive and Governance Committee consists of Messrs. George W. Tamke (Chair), Robert F. End, Mark P. Frissora and Gregory S. Ledford. Our former director Mr. William E. Conway, Jr. and our former Chairman of the Board, Mr. Craig R. Koch, also served on our Executive and Governance Committee during 2006.

Our Executive and Governance Committee did not meet in 2006.

Our Executive and Governance Committee has a written charter. Under it, our Executive and Governance Committee may exercise the full powers and prerogatives of our Board and take any action our Board could take, subject to specified limitations; assists our Board in determining the skills and qualities of individuals recommended for membership on our Board; reviews the composition of our Board and its committees; reviews and evaluates directors for re-nomination and reappointment

11

to committees; and reviews and assesses the adequacy of our corporate governance guidelines and codes of business ethics and conduct.

The Corporation is subject to an amended and restated stockholders’ agreement, or the “Stockholders’ Agreement,” with the investment funds associated with or designated by CD&R, Carlyle and MLGPE or, collectively, the “Sponsors,” that currently hold the majority of our outstanding common stock. The Stockholders Agreement gives CD&R the right to designate three nominees for election to the Board of Directors, and each of the other Sponsors has the right to designate two nominees for election to the Board of Directors. Each stockholder that is a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement is required to take all necessary action to cause the nominees of the other Sponsors to be elected, which actions include recommending the nominees of the other Sponsors to our Board for inclusion in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to stockholders for election. The Stockholders’ Agreement also requires that a director designated by each of the Sponsors has a seat on our Executive and Governance Committee. Please see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for more information on the Stockholders’ Agreement.

Except as described above, there is no difference in the manner in which the Executive and Governance Committee evaluates a nominee for director recommended by a stockholder.

The charter for our Executive and Governance Committee is available without charge on the “About Hertz—Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” portion of the Corporation’s website, www.hertz.com, or to any stockholder, upon request in writing to The Hertz Corporation, 225 Brae Boulevard, Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656-0713, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Board Compensation

Our directors who are not also our employees will each receive a $150,000 annual retainer fee, of which 40% (i.e., $60,000) will be payable in cash and 60% (i.e., $90,000) will be payable in the form of stock options granted under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the “Director Stock Incentive Plan,” described below, and having a Black-Scholes value equal to such dollar amount. The chairperson of our Audit Committee will be paid an additional annual cash fee of $25,000 and each other member of our Audit Committee will be paid an additional annual cash fee of $10,000. The chairperson of our Compensation Committee will be paid an additional annual cash fee of $15,000 and each other member of our Compensation Committee will receive an additional annual cash fee of $10,000. Stock options will be granted annually in arrears, and cash fees will be payable quarterly in arrears, although a director may elect to receive in lieu of cash fees, shares of our common stock having the same value as such fees pursuant to the Director Stock Incentive Plan, described below. We will also reimburse our directors for reasonable and necessary expenses they incur in performing their duties as directors, and our directors will be entitled to free worldwide Hertz car rentals upon completion of evaluation forms. In the case of a member of our Board who is also one of our employees, no additional compensation will be paid for serving as a director. Each of our directors who is employed by or affiliated with one of the Sponsors may assign all or any portion of the compensation the director would receive for his services as a director to that Sponsor or its affiliates.

For services rendered during the year ended December 31, 2006, our directors received the following:

2006 Director Compensation Table

(1)             All compensation is for services rendered as directors. Compensation was pro-rated for time served from November 21, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and was paid following year-end.

(2)             Under the terms of the Director Stock Incentive Plan, certain directors elected in advance to receive fees that would otherwise be payable in cash in the form of shares. Certain directors also elected to defer receipt of the cash portion of the fee. Any fee that a director elected to defer was credited to the director’s stock account and was deemed to be invested in a number of shares of Phantom Stock equal to the number of shares that would otherwise have been delivered.

(3)             Elected to defer receipt of the cash portion of their fees and instead receive Phantom Stock equal to the number of shares of Hertz Holdings common stock equal to the deferred fees.

(4)             Mr. Conway resigned from the Board of Directors effective December 21, 2006, at which time Mr. Bernasek was elected to fill Mr. Conway’s unexpired term.

(5)             Elected to receive fees that would otherwise be payable in cash in the form of shares.

Director Stock Incentive Plan

On October 12, 2006, our Board approved the Director Stock Incentive Plan. Our stockholders approved the Director Stock Incentive Plan on October 20, 2006. The Director Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of shares of our common stock, options to purchase shares of our common stock and “phantom shares,” which are the right to receive shares of our common stock at a specified point in the future. A maximum of 3,500,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the Director Stock Incentive Plan.

Options granted under the Director Stock Incentive Plan must be granted at an exercise price not less than fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Options granted as part of a director’s annual retainer fee will be fully vested at the time of grant and will generally have a 10-year term.

As noted above, a director may generally elect to receive all or a portion of fees that would otherwise be payable in cash in the form of shares of our common stock having a fair market value at such time equal to the amount of such fees. Any such shares will be paid to the director when cash fees would otherwise be payable, although, if a director so chooses, these shares may be payable on a tax-deferred basis in phantom shares if the requirements regarding such deferral are met in accordance

13

---

with applicable tax law, in which case the actual shares of our common stock will be paid to the director promptly following the date on which he or she ceases to serve as a director (or, if earlier, upon a change in control, as defined in the Director Stock Incentive Plan).

A director will recognize ordinary income upon exercising options granted under the Director Stock Incentive Plan in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price, and we will have a corresponding tax deduction at that time. In the case of shares issued in lieu of cash fees, a director who is an individual will generally recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date such shares are paid to the director and the Corporation will have a corresponding tax deduction at that time.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS,
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The following table sets forth information as of April 2, 2007 with respect to the ownership of the common stock of the Corporation by:

·       each person known to own beneficially more than 5% of the common stock of the Corporation;

·       each of the directors of the Corporation;

·       each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below;

·       all of the Corporation’s executive officers and directors as a group.

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Based on a review of reports filed by the Corporation’s directors, executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding shares, and upon representations from those persons, all reports required to be filed by the Corporation’s reporting persons during 2006 were filed on time.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the Directors’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by our Board, any member of our Board who believes he or she has an actual or potential conflict of interest with us is obligated to notify the Chairman of the Executive and Governance Committee as promptly as practicable. That director should not participate in any decision by our Board, or any committee of our Board, that in any way relates to the matter that gives rise to the conflict or potential conflict of interest until the issue has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Chairman of the Executive and Governance Committee or the Board. The following is a description of certain relationships and transactions that we have entered into with our directors, major stockholders and certain other related persons.

Stockholders’ Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition on December 21, 2005, or the “Closing Date,” the Corporation entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. The Stockholders’ Agreement contains agreements that entitle investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors to nominate all of the Corporation’s directors. The director nominees are to include three nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R (one of whom shall serve as the chairman), two nominees of investment funds associated with Carlyle, two nominees of an investment fund associated with MLGPE and three independent directors, subject to adjustment in the case that the applicable investment fund sells more than a specified amount of its shareholdings in the Corporation. Upon completion of the initial public offering of the common stock of the Corporation, the Stockholders’ Agreement was amended and restated among other things, to reflect an agreement of the Sponsors to increase the size of our Board. Each Sponsor will continue to have the right with respect to director nominees described above, but up to an additional three independent directors may also be nominated, subject to unanimous consent of the directors (other than the independent directors) nominated by the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. In addition, the Stockholders’ Agreement, as amended, 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 and, unless otherwise agreed by this fund, as Chairman of the Board. On October 12, 2006, our Board elected four independent directors, effective from completion of the initial public offering of the common stock of the Corporation.

The Stockholders’ Agreement also granted to the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors special governance rights, including rights of approval over the budget of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, certain business combination transactions, the incurrence of additional material indebtedness, amendments to the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and certain other transactions and grants to investment funds associated with CD&R or to the majority of directors nominated by the Sponsors the right to remove Hertz’s chief executive officer. Any replacement chief executive officer requires the consent of investment funds associated with CD&R as well as investment funds associated with at least one other Sponsor. 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 the Corporation. The Stockholders’ Agreement also gives investment funds associated with the Sponsors preemptive rights with respect to certain issuances of equity securities of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Hertz, subject to certain exceptions. It also contains restrictions on the transfer of shares of the Corporation, as well as

19

---

tag-along and drag-along rights and rights of first offer. Upon the completion of the initial public offering of the common stock of the Corporation, this agreement was amended and restated to remove these rights of approval (other than the approval and retention rights relating to our chief executive officer) and preemptive rights and to retain tag-along and drag-along rights, and restrictions on transfers of shares of the Corporation, in certain circumstances.

In addition, 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 the Corporation and their 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 our consent.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Corporation entered into a registration rights agreement, or 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, following the earlier of the initial public offering of common stock of the Corporation and the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, to cause the Corporation, 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 was 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 the Corporation is eligible to use Form S-3. In the event the Corporation registers any of its common stock following its initial public offering, these investment funds also have the right to require the Corporation to use its best efforts to include shares of common stock of the Corporation held by them, subject to certain limitations, including as determined by the underwriters. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for the Corporation to indemnify the investment funds party to that agreement and their affiliates in connection with the registration of our securities.

Consulting Agreements

Sponsor Consulting Arrangements

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into consulting agreements, or the “Consulting Agreements,” with the Corporation and each of the Sponsors (or one of their affiliates), pursuant to which such Sponsor or its affiliate provides the Corporation, Hertz and Hertz’s subsidiaries with financial advisory and management consulting services. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreements, Hertz agreed to pay to each Sponsor or its affiliate an annual fee of $1 million for such services, plus expenses, unless the Sponsors unanimously agree to a higher amount, and Hertz may pay to them a fee for certain types of transactions that the Corporation or its subsidiaries complete. If an individual nominated by CD&R serves as both Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or Hertz for any quarter, Hertz was required to pay CD&R an additional fee of $500,000 for that quarter. In connection with the acquisition of its common stock on the Closing Date, or the “Acquisition,” Hertz paid a fee of $25 million to each Sponsor and reimbursed certain expenses of the Sponsors and their affiliates. Upon completion of the initial public offering of the common stock of the Corporation, each of these agreements was terminated for a fee of $5 million ($15 million in the aggregate).

Other Consulting Arrangements

On September 29, 2006, Hertz entered into an agreement with Tenzing Consulting LLC, a management consulting firm in which Thomas McLeod, who is the brother-in-law of our director David H. Wasserman, is a principal. Under the arrangement, which has now been fully performed, Tenzing Consulting LLC provided supply chain management and corporate purchasing management consulting. In exchange for these services, Tenzing Consulting LLC received fees of $25,000 per week, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The total amount of fees and expenses paid to Tenzing under this agreement was $209,918.

Indemnification Agreements

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with the Corporation, the Sponsors and stockholders of the Corporation that are affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which the Corporation and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, our 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 the consulting agreements described above under “—Consulting Agreements” and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements and securities offerings.

The Corporation has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. The indemnification agreements provide the directors with contractual rights to the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided under our by-laws, as well as contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreements.

investment funds associated with or designated by MLGPE, which are some of our principal stockholders. The Senior ABL Facility provided (subject to availability under a borrowing base) for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,600 million under a revolving loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling. Up to $200 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. On the Closing Date, Hertz borrowed $206 million under this facility and Matthews Equipment Limited, one of Hertz’s Canadian subsidiaries, borrowed CAN$225 million under this facility, in each case to finance a portion of the Acquisition and certain related transactions entered into to finance the cash consideration of the Acquisition, to refinance certain indebtedness of Hertz and its subsidiaries, and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. At December 31, 2006, net of a discount of $22.2 million, Hertz and its subsidiaries had no borrowings outstanding under this facility and issued $18.2 million in letters of credit. As a result of amendments to the ABL credit agreement in February, 2007, the maximum available borrowings were increased from $1,600 million to $1,800 million and the term of the facility was extended, among other things.

In connection with our car and equipment rental businesses, we enter into millions of rental transactions every year involving millions of customers. In order to conduct those businesses, we also procure goods and services from thousands of vendors. Some of those customers and vendors may be affiliated with the Sponsors or members of our Board of Directors. We believe that all such rental and procurement transactions have been conducted on an arms-length basis and involved terms no less favorable to us than those that we believe we would have obtained in the absence of such affiliation. It is our management’s practice to bring to the attention of our Board of Directors any transaction, even if it arises in the ordinary course of business, in which our management believes that the terms being sought by transaction participants affiliated with the Sponsors or our Directors would be less favorable to us than those to which we would agree absent such affiliation. For additional information regarding our transactions with companies of which certain of our independent Directors are executive officers, see “Corporate Governance and General Information Concerning the Board of Directors and its Committees—Board Independence.”

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

We believe that a skilled and motivated team of senior executives is essential to building lasting shareholder value. As a market leader in the car and equipment rental industries, we also understand that our senior executives are highly sought after. Therefore, we have sought to provide our senior executives competitive levels of compensation necessary to retain their services and, in the case of Mr. Frissora in 2006, to enable us to recruit him from a prior employer, where he also served as chairman and chief executive officer. We believe that executive compensation packages provided by the Corporation to its executives, including the named executive officers, should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance measured against established goals and aligns executives’ interests with those of the shareholders, with the ultimate objective of improving shareholder value. As discussed in more detail below, in 2006 several important events had a significant impact on the compensation programs for our named executive officers and other senior executives:

·       While still a privately held company, we established an incentive program involving significant equity investment in our common stock by our senior executives and we granted stock options, in many cases at premium exercise prices, to motivate and align the interests of our senior executives with our shareholders by permitting our senior executives to participate meaningfully in increases in shareholder value.

·       We recruited Mark P. Frissora to become our chairman and CEO from another public company that he had successfully led for six years.

·       Craig R. Koch, who had previously been our CEO, transitioned from that role to become our chairman, and has since retired.

·       We successfully completed the initial public offering of our shares.

Setting Executive Compensation

Based on the objectives discussed above, we have structured our annual and long-term equity based executive compensation to motivate executives to achieve the business goals set by the Corporation and reward the executives for achieving such goals.

We typically review the overall compensation of our named executive officers and other senior executives, as well as the relative makeup of the various components of their compensation, every 12 months.

26

For 2006, Hertz compared the compensation for its senior executives to that of comparable positions at a group of general industry companies of similar revenue size. In addition, Hertz also reviewed market data on competitive pay practices and trends. When making compensation decisions for its executives, Hertz management and our Compensation Committee considered this market data, as well as industry factors, general business developments and corporate performance. For 2007, our Compensation Committee independently retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., to provide consulting services related to the compensation and benefit programs for our senior executives.

For our senior executive group as a whole, we have generally tried to set overall annual cash compensation—base salary and annual bonus—at the median of that paid for comparable positions at our peer group of companies. (By “median” we mean that roughly half of our peer companies pay the same or less, and roughly half pay more.)

When we set a particular senior executive’s base salary—which in turn affected his or her target bonus (which is set as a percentage of base salary)—we did, nonetheless, take into account our assessment of that person’s individual performance and contributions. For our named executive officers, this assessment was made by our Compensation Committee, in close consultation with our Lead Director and our CEO (except as to his own compensation). As a result, where warranted, some individuals’ base salary and annual bonus opportunity exceeded the median paid for comparable positions at our peer group of companies, while for others it may have been less. We believe that this is an important aspect of our compensation program to appropriately motivate and reward our executives.

Annually, we also review all other components of our named executive officers’ compensation, in light of both competitive market practice and our own business needs and objectives. As a result of this, for example, in 2006 we:

·       Established our equity incentive program, which involved an investment in our shares by our named executive officers and other senior executives, and a grant of options to them.

·       Replaced a cash-based long-term incentive compensation program that Hertz had put in place prior to its acquisition from Ford Motor Company with an enhanced annual cash incentive opportunity, because we believed that the targets we could establish under our annual bonus program would be better suited to our business objectives than the objectives that had previously been used under the long-term plan.

These are discussed in more detail below under “Long Term Equity Incentives” and “Annual Incentives,” respectively.

Components of 2006 Executive Compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

·       Base salary;

·       Annual incentives;

·       Long-term equity incentives;

·       Perquisites and other personal benefits; and

·       Retirement and savings benefits.

27

Base Salary

In our review of base salaries for executives, we primarily consider:

·       Market data provided by our outside consultants;

·       Internal review of the executive’s compensation, both individually and relative to other officers; and

·       Individual performance of the executive.

In 2006 and previous years, we typically considered changes in the base salaries of senior executives on a staggered 18-month cycle, based on the date each executive first held the executive’s current responsibilities. We also considered base salaries upon promotion or other changes in job responsibility. In 2007, we will be making a transition to a senior executive base salary review cycle of 12 months, which will result in more frequent changes in this component of compensation. While we believe the 18-month cycle produced satisfactory results, a shortened cycle will, in our view, make it easier for us to maintain a proper level of base salary for our senior executives in light of the criteria we employ in setting salaries.

As the result of our regular, cyclical review of annual base salaries in 2006, the annual base salaries for our named executive officers were revised as follows:

 

Mr. Koch’s salary remained unchanged in 2006.

Mr. Frissora’s annual base salary of $950,000 was established through the negotiation process when he agreed to join us as our CEO. In setting this figure for base salary, we took into account his base salary at his prior employer, as well as information regarding comparable base salaries provided to us by the executive search firm we had retained in connection with our search for a new CEO.

Annual Incentives

Each year our Compensation Committee approves the performance criteria and performance targets that will be used to determine annual bonuses for our named executive officers under our Executive Incentive Compensation Program, or “EICP,” and, if more than one performance criterion is selected, the relative weighting of those criteria and their related targets. Where an executive has responsibility for a particular business unit, the executive’s performance criteria and targets relate to the performance of the business unit as well as to our overall performance. Where an executive, such as our CEO or CFO, has broader corporate responsibility, the performance criteria and targets are entirely based on our overall performance.

Our Compensation Committee also establishes for each named executive officer the target annual bonus the executive will receive—typically expressed as a percentage of annual base salary—if the performance targets are met, and the extent to which the bonus may be increased or decreased if and to the extent the performance targets are exceeded or are not achieved. After the end of the year, our Compensation Committee determines how actual results compare with performance targets and approves the resulting bonus payments.

The target annual bonus a named executive officer will be eligible to receive under the EICP is generally set so that the executive will earn total annual cash compensation (when taken together with

28

---

base salary) at the median of annual cash compensation paid for comparable positions at the companies in our peer group (as discussed above). If we substantially exceed the EICP performance targets, the annual bonus under the EICP is typically structured so that it will be payable at the 75th percentile of the peer group—by which we mean 75% of the peer group pays that amount or less, while 25% pay more, in total annual cash compensation. Executive officers participating in the EICP receive no payment of  an EICP award unless minimum performance levels are achieved, and receive 100% of their targeted bonuses for the achievement of the target levels.

In 2006 we modified a cash-based long-term incentive plan that Hertz had established before it was acquired from Ford Motor Company, or the “LTIP,” so that the LTIP would provide an enhanced annual bonus opportunity using the same performance criteria and performance targets employed for participants in the EICP in lieu of the performance criteria and targets that the LTIP previously employed. We did this because we believed that the performance criteria and targets we annually established under the EICP would create better incentives to meet our business objectives following our acquisition than those that had been established for a company with a very different capital structure under the LTIP. The modifications we made in the LTIP for 2006 will also apply for the LTIP’s two remaining years, 2007 and 2008. Mr. Frissora does not participate in the LTIP.

For our named executive officers, other than Mr. Koch, 2006 bonuses payable under the EICP and, where applicable, the LTIP were based upon three performance criteria—performance income, or “PI,” revenues and return on total capital, or “ROTC.”  PI for us or any business unit is an adjusted pre-tax income statistic equal to our or the unit’s income before non-fleet interest, non-cash interest items, income taxes, minority interest, amortization of Transaction-related items, significant one-time items and non-cash “mark-to-market” income and expense. ROTC for us or any business unit is a return on capital statistic equal to the ratio of our or the unit’s performance income plus fleet interest to our or the unit’s average assets minus average liabilities, excluding goodwill, other intangibles and other purchase accounting related balances. The achievement of performance targets for these criteria accounted for 60%, 20% and 20%, respectively, of the weighted overall performance target. We selected these three performance criteria because achievement of objectives in these areas is critical for our continued growth and the delivery of shareholder value.

PI and ROTC are operating statistics that measure results that are arguably within the partial control of executives and therefore are useful in determining their individual performance. However, these measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, while they are useful in determining the performance of specific individuals for compensatory purposes, they do not take into account many aspects of our results that are highly relevant to investors and creditors but are outside the control of executives. Accordingly, you should not treat PI or ROTC as a performance measure or liquidity measure for us or any of our reporting segments.

The 2006 EICP and, where applicable, LTIP performance targets applicable to executives who had responsibility for a particular business unit—Messrs. Nothwang, Taride and Plescia—were weighted 70% on the performance of their units and 30% on our overall performance, while those applicable to other named executive officers were weighted 100% on our overall corporate performance. In addition, for 2006, for each one percentage point that an executive’s weighted actual results exceeded 100% of the executive’s weighted performance targets, the executive’s bonus payment under the EICP and, where applicable, the LTIP would be increased by four percentage points, so that, for example, achievement of 106% of an executive’s weighted performance target would result in a payment of 124% of the executive’s target annual bonus. Bonus payments under the LTIP were in all events limited to 200% of target payments, but no comparable limitation existed under the EICP.

For 2006, our overall corporate performance targets for PI, revenues and ROTC were $759.0 million, $8,205.3 million and 10.55%, respectively; our actual corporate PI, revenues and ROTC were $821.6 million, $8,058.4 million and 11.16%, respectively; and the percentage of target annual

29

---

bonuses accordingly payable under the EICP and, where applicable, the LTIP with respect to our overall corporate performance was 124%. For 2006, the performance targets for PI, revenues and ROTC for the units for which Mr. Nothwang was responsible were $362.4 million, $4,991.1 million and 8.43%, respectively; those units’ actual PI, revenues and ROTC were $366.5 million, $4,719.5 million and 8.79%, respectively; and the percentage of target annual bonuses accordingly payable under the EICP and LTIP with respect to such units’ performance was 100%. For 2006, the performance targets for PI, revenues and ROTC for the units for which Mr. Taride was responsible were $114.8 million, $1,628.5 million and 8.48%, respectively; those units’ actual PI, revenues and ROTC were $124.7 million, $1,628.5 million and 9.18%, respectively; and the percentage of target annual bonuses accordingly payable under the EICP and LTIP with respect to such units’ performance was 128%. For 2006, the performance targets for PI, revenues and ROTC for the units for which Mr. Plescia was responsible were $303.9 million, $1,548.1 million and 20.44%, respectively; those units’ actual PI, revenues and ROTC were $343.1 million, $1,573.6 million and 18.87%, respectively; and the percentage of target annual bonuses accordingly payable under the EICP and LTIP with respect to such units’ performance was 138%.

In 2006, the target annual bonus for each named executive officer, other than Mr. Koch, under the EICP and under the LTIP were respectively the following percentages of their annual base salaries:  Mr. Frissora—100% and 0%; Mr. Siracusa—70% and 57%; Mr. Nothwang—75% and 68%; Mr. Taride—65% and 45%; and Mr. Plescia—65% and 47%. The actual bonuses paid to each of these named executive officers under the EICP and, where applicable, the LTIP, for 2006 were determined by applying the percentages of target bonuses payable, computed as described above and weighted between our overall performance and the performance of relevant business units as described above, to those target annual bonuses. The actual bonuses paid for 2006 under the EICP and LTIP are, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, reflected in the “Non-equity incentive plan compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table, except that the portion of Mr. Frissora’s bonus that was guaranteed under his employment agreement instead is reflected in the “Bonus” column of that table. For more information on Mr. Frissora’s employment agreement, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment and Change in Control Agreements.”

In connection with Mr. Koch’s transition from CEO to Chairman and his subsequent retirement, we had agreed in 2005 that if Mr. Koch remained employed by us through the end of 2006 (as he did), his annual bonus would be 100% of his base salary, and he would receive a lump sum payment of $2.4 million to settle out all his remaining payments under the LTIP through the expiration of that plan. Because those payments were guaranteed by a contract with Mr. Koch, they are, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, reflected in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

In accordance with an action of our Board in February 2007, we paid Mr. Frissora a special discretionary bonus of $250,000 in recognition of his efforts in connection with our initial public offering of common stock during 2006. This payment is reflected in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table appearing above.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

In 2006, while still a private company, we established an equity investment and incentive program for our named executive officers and select other executives. Through this program we sought to instill in our named executive officers a true “ownership” culture, where they viewed themselves as equity stakeholders in our business, with a significant personal financial stake in the long-term increase in shareholder value. The main features of this program involved:

·       Each named executive officer making an investment in our shares of common stock in an amount that was, for him, a material personal investment.

30

---

·       The grant of a significant number of options to purchase shares of our common stock.

·       Vesting terms relating to the options under which they are generally earned over a five-year period through continued employment, which we believe will be an important tool to help retain the services of our executives. Vesting ceases upon termination of employment except in the case of death or disability. Upon termination of employment, unvested options expire, and employees have a limited period, the length of which is determined by the reason for termination, to exercise vested options. Prior to the exercise of an option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

·       The grant of some options with an exercise price—i.e., the purchase price for the shares—of fair market value at the time of grant, and other options at premiums of 50% and 100% over that value, so that individuals would receive some value under the options only if the shares appreciated over the initial fair market value, but for the other options the share value would have to appreciate materially.

The actual number of options that we granted to a particular named executive officer was determined based on several factors, including the amount of his investment in our shares and our judgment as to the appropriate level of gain that an individual (based on his position with the company and anticipated contribution to our success) should achieve if our share price increased to certain levels.

In the case of Mr. Koch, given the special circumstances surrounding his transition from the role of CEO and his retirement, all of the options we granted had an exercise price equal to the then-current fair market value and would generally vest or become exercisable over three years. Shortly after we granted Mr. Koch’s stock options, we determined that the fair market value of our shares was higher than the value used when the options were granted; therefore, we cancelled those stock options and replaced them with options with a fair market value exercise price but otherwise identical terms.

We provided Messrs. Koch and Frissora the opportunity to invest in shares of our common stock at the same purchase price as that paid per share by our controlling shareholders when we were acquired from Ford Motor Company. We did this because we felt it was equitable in the light of the fact that all other named executive officers had purchased shares at that price only a few months earlier. In addition, in Mr. Koch’s case, he had been employed by us continuously since our acquisition from Ford, while in Mr. Frissora’s case, such a purchase was part of the bargained-for consideration for his move to Hertz, in which he forfeited substantial equity incentive awards granted by his prior employer. When Messrs. Koch and Frissora purchased their shares, we determined that the fair market value per share was greater than that purchase price. Because the difference was taxable to them, we provided them with a payment equal to 80% of the difference between fair market value and their purchase price, to facilitate their payment of the related tax liability. This amount is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table under the column “All other compensation.”

On June 30, 2006, the Corporation entered into the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”  The Corporation primarily used the proceeds of the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility, together with cash on hand, to pay special cash dividends of $4.32 per share, or approximately $999.2 million in the aggregate, to its common stockholders on June 30, 2006. In connection with the June 30 special cash dividend and the special cash dividend of approximately $1.12 per share of our common stock, or $260.3 million in the aggregate, that was paid upon the completion of the initial public offering to holders of record of our common stock on the dividend record date, our outstanding stock options (including options held by Messrs. Koch and Frissora) were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law and the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. We had an unrecognized stock-based compensation cost of approximately $28.3 million related to the cost of modifying the exercise prices of the stock options

31

---

for the special cash dividends. This cost will be recognized over the remainder of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

All of the options issued to our named executive officers were issued under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the “SIP,” and are governed by the terms of the SIP and written option agreements entered into with the officers. The SIP and the related option agreements establish the exercise price of the options; the schedule on which the options vest; the period in which vested options may be exercised; the effect of termination of employment on the options; and the effect of a change in control, as defined in the SIP, on the options. Details regarding the grant dates, exercise prices and vesting schedules for options granted to our named executive officers are described in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards and Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End tables below.

The options held by Mr. Koch are not affected by the termination of his employment (other than a termination for Cause, as defined in the SIP, or a termination of his employment prior to January 1, 2007), since they were granted in contemplation of his planned retirement on January 1, 2007. For the other named executive officers, except in the case of death or disability, the SIP and the related option agreements provide that upon termination of the officer’s employment, all unvested options then held by the officer will immediately terminate, and all vested options may be exercised only for 60 days following termination (or 180 days if the termination is the result of retirement at “normal age”).

The SIP generally defines a “Change in Control” as the acquisition by any person of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities, the merger of the Corporation if its stockholders immediately prior to the merger do not own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the merged entity, a majority of the Corporation’s incumbent directors ceasing to be directors within a 24-month period or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation to non-affiliates.

The SIP and the related option agreements for our named executive officers provide that upon a Change in Control, our Board may determine that their options will be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted for their options, so long as certain conditions are met; the honored or assumed options or other rights are referred to as an “Alternative Award.”  Those conditions are that the Alternative Award must provide rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to, or better than, those under the original options and also provide that if, within two years following the Change in Control, the holder’s employment is involuntarily or constructively terminated other than for Cause, the Alternative Award will vest in full and the holder will either receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock subject to the Alternative Award on the date of surrender over the exercise price of the Alternative Award or have an immediate right to exercise the Alternative Award and receive publicly traded shares. To the extent that our Board does not make the determination to grant Alternative Awards, then the SIP and related option agreements for our named executive officers provide that their options, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled in exchange for a payment equal to the excess of the per share consideration offered in the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control over the exercise price of the options.

The SIP further provides that in connection with a Change in Control, the benefits flowing to a holder of options, including any of our named executive officers, from the Change in Control provisions just described may not exceed the amount that, when taken with all other payments the holder may receive under any other plan, program or arrangement, would cause the holder to receive an “excess parachute payment” as that term is defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the “Code.”  This limitation could materially reduce the benefits a named executive officer would otherwise receive with respect to his options in the event of a Change in Control, particularly if his employment were then being terminated and he were receiving severance payments under his employment or change in control agreement. For more details regarding payments to be made to

32

named executive officers in the event of the termination of their employment, see “Employment and Change in Control Agreements” below.

The following table sets forth, for each named executive officer, the amount that would be payable to him under the SIP and his related option agreements if a Change in Control had occurred on December 31, 2006, our Board had not determined to grant Alternative Awards, the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control was a transaction subject to Section 280G of the Code and his employment was not terminated. (For the reasons discussed in the preceding paragraph, if the employment of a named executive officer was terminated on December 31, 2006, he might receive substantially less than the amount set forth below.)

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

The following table sets forth, for each named executive officer, possible payouts under all non-equity incentive plan awards granted in 2006; all grants of plan-based option awards in 2006; the exercise or base price of all such option awards; the grant date fair value of all such option awards; and the incremental fair value of all such awards.

(1)                The full grant date fair value of each award excludes the cost of the modifications indicated in Notes 3 and 5 below. The incremental fair value of each award represents the cost of the modifications indicated in Notes 3 and 5 below.

(2)                The grant date fair value and the incremental fair value of stock option awards are calculated in accordance with FAS 123(R). 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 the Corporation was not publicly traded at the time of these grants, we have used the calculated value method, substituting the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of the Corporation’s common stock price as an assumption in the valuation model. We measure the compensation cost related to employee stock options based on the calculated value instead of fair value of the options because we could not reasonably estimate the volatility of the Corporation’s common stock. We selected the Dow Jones

34

---

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 6.5 years, because that is the expected term of the options using the simplified approach allowed under SAB No. 107.

The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity of 6.5 years as of the grant date, which is the expected term of the options. The assumed dividend yield is zero. We assume that in each year 1% of the options that are outstanding but not vested will be forfeited because of employee attrition.
