RETIREMENT BENEFITS 3.1 General. Members' Retirement Benefits shall be determined under this Article 3 (subject to the limitations set forth in Article 4). Each Member shall be entitled to the nonforfeitable portion, as determined under Article 5, of his Retirement Benefit, and shall have no right to any portion of his Retirement Benefit which is not nonforfeitable (nor shall any such portion increase the Retirement Benefit of any other Member). The form and timing of distribution of the Actuarially Equivalent value of the nonforfeitable portion of a Member's Retirement Benefit shall be made in accordance with Article 6. 3.2 Retirement Benefit. Upon a Member's Retirement or Termination of Employment, his Retirement Benefit shall be Actuarially Equivalent in value to the sum of (a) his Cash Balance Benefit under Section 3.3 and (b) his Pre-July, 1987 Benefit determined in accordance with the additional provisions of this Section 3.2 contained in Schedule D to this Plan. 3.2A Minimum Benefit. Notwithstanding the benefit described in Sections 3.2 above, if a Member's Retirement Benefit has accrued so that the accrual does not meet the requirements of Section 411(b)(1) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Member's Retirement Benefit payable at Normal Retirement Date shall be no less than (1) plus (2), multiplied by (3), where (1), (2) and (3) are determined as follows: (1) A Member's Pre-July, 1987 Benefit, determined in accordance with Section 3.2 contained in Schedule D of the Plan, plus (2) The Projected Value of a Member's Cash Balance Account, payable as a single life annuity with a five-year period certain at Normal Retirement Date based on the Actuarial Equivalent factors in the Plan as of the Annuity Starting Date. The "Projected Value" of a Member's Cash Balance Account shall be determined by 16 calculating the Member's Cash Balance Account at Normal Retirement Date assuming such Member had continued to earn Cash Balance Credits through his Normal Retirement Date. These additional Cash Balance Credits shall be calculated based on the Member's average Compensation for the 10 consecutive Plan Years while a Member (or such lesser number of Plan Years while a Member if he was a Member for less than 10 Plan Years) prior to termination and shall be deemed to earn the rates of interest based on the same rate used to calculate the Interest Credits in the year of the Member's termination. (3) A fraction, the numerator of which is the Years of Benefit Service as of the date of termination, and the denominator of which is the Years of Benefit Service that a Member would have been credited with had he been employed to his Normal Retirement Date. For purposes of this subparagraph (3), Years of Benefit Service shall mean the sum of the Years of Credited Service accrued under the Plan through June 30, 1987 and the years and months of service while an active Member of the Plan after June 30,1987, where a period of twelve (12) calendar months of service (which need not be consecutive) shall be considered a Year of Benefit Service and a period of less than twelve (12) calendar months shall be credited as a partial Year of Benefit Service equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of such months of service, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). A Member will be credited with a month of service for each calendar month in which he is credited with an Hour of Service under the Plan. 17 If a Member's benefit commences prior to his Normal Retirement Date, this Minimum Benefit shall be reduced using the Actuarial Equivalent factors in the Plan as of the Annuity Starting Date. 3.3 Cash Balance Benefit.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan: (a) Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Retirement Benefit of a Member shall be reduced to the extent that it (plus, if applicable, the aggregate retirement benefit, to which the Member is entitled under all other Defined Benefit Plans in which he was a member) exceeds the lesser of (1) $90,000 (or such higher amount as may be permitted under Section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code to reflect increases in the cost of living) and (2) 100% of the Member's average Compensation during the three consecutive Plan Years in which he received the greatest aggregate amount of Compensation. No reduction shall be required under this Section 4.2(a) in the case of a Member who never participated in a Defined Contribution 26 Plan if the Member's Retirement Benefit (plus, if applicable, his aggregate annual benefit under all other Defined Benefit Plans) does not exceed $10,000.

If distribution of a Member's Retirement Benefit begins after his social security retirement age, the limitation shall be increased so that it equals an Annual Benefit beginning at the time distribution of the Member's Retirement Benefit begins, which is the Actuarial Equivalent of an Annual Benefit equal to the dollar limitation set forth in Section 4.2(a)(1) beginning at the Member's social security retirement age. (3) in the case of a Member with less than ten years of membership in the Plan or less than ten Years of Service: (A) the dollar limitation set forth in Section 4.2(a)(1) shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate number of the Member's years of membership in the Plan at the time the determination is made and the denominator of which is ten, and (B) the percentage limitation set forth in Section 4.2(a)(2) and the $10,000 minimum benefit referred to in the last sentence of Section 4.2(a)(2) shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate number of the Member's Years of Service at the time the determination is made and the denominator of which is ten.

A Member's waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity under this Section 6.6 may be revoked at any time before the Member's Annuity Starting Date and, once revoked, may be made again before that date. However, if a Member's Annuity Starting Date is the date set forth in Section 6.3(d), then he may revoke and remake a waiver election with respect to the undistributed portion of his Retirement Benefit within the 90-day period ending before his Retirement. A spouse's consent to the waiver once given may not be revoked. 6.7 Notification of Right to Waive Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. For purposes of this Section 6.14, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated: (a) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution from the Plan of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee under the Plan, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: (i) Any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10 years or more; (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; (iii) any hardship distribution under Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Code; (iv) the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income; and (v) any distribution of $200 or less. 38 (b) Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution attributable to a deceased Member paid to the surviving spouse of the Member, an eligible retirement plan is only an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.14 to the contrary, only one eligible retirement plan may be designated with respect to any single eligible rollover distribution. (c) Distributee: A distributee includes a Member. In addition, the surviving spouse of a deceased Member and the former spouse of a Member who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the surviving spouse or former spouse. (d) Direct rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.14 to the contrary, only one direct rollover may be made with respect to any single eligible rollover distribution. 39 ARTICLE 7.

For purposes of Section 4.2(b)(2), the Actuarial Equivalent of an Annual Benefit equal to the dollar limitation set forth in Section 4.2(a)(1) beginning at age 62 shall be calculated by adjusting such limitation using the interest and mortality assumptions specified in (a) and (b), or (d) above, for the particular form of benefit payable, or 5% and the Applicable Mortality Table, whichever assumptions provide a lower limit. For purposes of Section 4.2(b)(2), the Actuarial Equivalent of an Annual Benefit equal to the dollar limitation set forth in Section 4.2(a)(1) beginning at the Member's social security retirement age shall be calculated by adjusting such limitation using the interest and mortality assumptions specified in (a) and (b), or (d) above, for the particular form of benefit payable, or 5% and the Applicable Mortality Table, whichever assumptions provide a lower limit. 79 f.

In addition, a minimum Pre-July, 1987 Benefit is provided under Section 3.2(e) for certain Pre-July, 1987 Members. The Pre-July, 1987 Retirement Benefit of a Pre-July, 1987 Member who does not satisfy the vesting requirements of Section 5.1 shall be determined under Section 3.2(f) contained in this Schedule D.

A Pre-July, 1987 Member's Final Average Earnings Benefit shall be offset by any benefit he is entitled to receive attributable to employer contributions made after December 31, 1966 under Part I and Part II of The Hertz Retirement Program for Salaried Employees or The Hertz Hourly-Rate Employees' Pension Plan. (2) A Pre-July, 1987 Member who was an Employee before March 1, 1980 shall have a Contributory Annuity Benefit equal to the sum of: (A) the aggregate amount accrued for each of his payroll periods, whether weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly, beginning after August 29, 1985 and ending before July 1, 1987 and during which he made required contributions to the Plan, where the amount accrued for each such period is equal to the sum of (i) 1.36% of his weekly Earnings up to $173.08, biweekly Earnings up to $346.15, semi-monthly earnings up to $375.00 or monthly 82 earnings up to $750.00 and (ii) 2 % of his weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly Earnings in excess of those amounts, and (B) the Contributory Annuity Benefit he accrued under the Prior Plan as of August 30, 1985.
