A valid driver’s license and a confirmed reservation entitles the cardholder to rent any authorized vehicle in the fleet at most Corporate locations worldwide for a period of up to 21 consecutive days subject to fleet availability (refer to Section F).
3.
Any rental paid using any other type of credit card will not be reimbursed under this policy.
B.    Eligibility
1.
To be eligible for a GHR card, an employee must meet either of the following criteria at time of retirement:
a.
Region or Senior Vice President/Country General Manager or above - any combination of age and service above age 55, which equals 77 or more total years satisfies eligibility requirement for this category of employee.
OR
b.
Any exempt classification (U.S. Salary Grade 10 or above) and foreign classifications equivalent to the U.S. exempt/salaried employees - any combination of age and service above age 55 which equals 87 or more total years satisfies eligibility requirements for this category of employee.

c.
A link to the Gold enrollment form will be included in the confirmation letter.

19




3.
Retiree must sign a Hertz Retiree Gold Acknowledgment Form acknowledging that the retiree has received a copy of this procedure and understands and agrees to all conditions, limitations and exclusions. A copy of this form, which will specify the car class/group the retiree is entitled to rent under this procedure, will be included with the confirmation letter, along with instructions on returning the completed form to the appropriate area for processing. The completed form will be retained on file with the appropriate processing area (refer to Section E.1) until the retiree is deceased, and must be properly stored in a secure location (e.g., locked room or file cabinet) with access limited to authorized personnel. Rentals of vehicles in higher classes/groups will be ineligible under this policy unless renting location substitutes a higher class/group vehicle due to fleet mix/availability.
4.
Vehicles rented under the GHR program may only be used for personal reasons. Under no circumstances may vehicles be used for subsequent employment or other business purposes.
C.    Reservation Process
1.
Cardholders must place a reservation at least 24 hours in advance of pickup by either calling any Hertz Reservations Center or accessing the Hertz Internet website and providing their #1 Club number. Reservations cannot be placed through a travel agent, airline reservations center or other commissionable booking source.
2.
If confirmed, the reservations will be processed as a Hertz #1 Club Gold reservation and will appear on the Gold manifest.
3.
The Rate Engine will apply the Best Rate (Hertz Employee Rate or other rate as determined by the Rate Engine) to the reservation/rental.
D.    Rental & Return Process
1.
The renting location will follow all normal Gold procedures in preparing and executing the rental.
2.
Retiree’s spouse/domestic partner and children (who are a minimum of 20 years of age in North America, 21 years in Europe and 25 years in Australia/New Zealand), with a valid driver’s license, qualify as additional operators of the vehicle.
3.
At return, the cardholder may use any of the available return functions (i.e., Counter Return, Express Return, Instant Return or Self Service Return).
4.
Charges will be computed and the cardholder given a receipt showing HCC as the form of payment.

21




2.
Rentals and returns at Hertz Corporate locations within 150 miles/241 kilometers of the cardholder’s permanent residence are not covered by this Procedure.

Violation of these payment terms may result in termination of the Retiree benefit, as well as the GHR card provided to the Retiree.

Notes:
1.
The accrued pensions in (1) reflect the deferred pension at the Member's date of exit from the Plans (30 June 2011), when the Hertz UK Pension Plan (the "Main Plan") closed to further accrual. We have assumed, as instructed by Hertz, that future accrual under the Hertz Supplementary Plan (the "Supplementary Plan") also ceased with effect from 30 June 2011.
2.
Mr Taride was over age 60 (his Normal Retirement Age under both the Main Plan and the Supplementary Plan) at 31 December 2018 but has not retired from either plan.
3.
For the purpose of the illustrations, the benefits in the Main Plan are assumed to be in line with the rules of the plan. As previously instructed, the Supplementary Plan benefits have been assumed to be a non-increasing single life pension payable from retirement (Normal Retirement Age of 60) with no attaching spouse's benefit on death and no revaluation in the period from 30 June 2011 to the date the benefit commences payment. However, for the purposes of this illustration, it has been assumed that a late retirement increase is applied from age 60 (with the late retirement increase being in line with the factor applying for the Main Plan).
4.
The present values are calculated as at 31 December using the US GAAP accounting basis as used for the end of year disclosures provided for the Company accounts as summarised out below (further detail is provided in Adrian Gibbons' assumptions paper dated 29 November 2018).
