Such instrument or instruments (and the Action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
220;Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 11.1) conclusive in favour of the Indenture Trustee and Rental ULC if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

If Rental ULC does not so fix a record date, such record date shall be the later of thirty (30) days before the first solicitation of such Action or the date of the most recent list of Noteholders furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 12.1 before such solicitation. Such Action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Notes Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such Action, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding shall be computed as of the record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.
|
(d)
|
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or Rental ULC in reliance thereon whether or not notation of such Action is made upon such Note.

Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Note provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein, in such Indenture Supplement or in such Note expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or personally delivered to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery neither the failure to mail, send by facsimile, electronic transmission or deliver such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, sent by fac
simile, electronic transmission or delivery to any particular Noteholders shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, electronic transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively have been presumed to have been duly given.

(a)
|
If Rental ULC establishes pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.1 that the Notes of a particular Series or Class are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then Rental ULC shall execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.3 and the Rental ULC Certificate delivered to the Indenture Tr
ustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Note or Notes, which, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Amount (or in the case of Discount Notes, the aggregate Stated Principal Amount at the Scheduled Final Payment Date of such Notes) of the Outstanding Notes of such Series or Class to be represented by such Global Note or Notes, or such portion thereof as Rental ULC shall specify in a Rental ULC Certificate; (ii) shall be registered in the Note Register in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Notes or its nominee; (iii) shall be delivered by the Indenture Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction; (iv) if applicable, shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “UNLESS THIS CERTIFIC

(“CDS”) TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS, OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CDS, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”; and (v) may bear such other legend as Rental ULC, upon advice of counsel, deems to be applicable.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.4 or of Section 3.5, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Note or the applicable Indenture Supplement expressly permit such Global Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Notes, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.5, only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global Note, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Note selected or approved by Rental ULC, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies Rental ULC that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes for such Series or Class ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Act (Ontario), or other applicable statute or regulation, Rental ULC shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Note. If a successor Depository for such Global Note is not appointed by Rental ULC within ninety (90) days after Rental ULC receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, Rental ULC shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Rental ULC Certificate requesting the authentication and delivery of individ
ual Notes of such Series or Class in exchange for such Global Note, shall authenticate and deliver, individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.
|
(ii)
|
Rental ULC may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Notes of any Series or Class or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Notes shall no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event Rental ULC shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of a Rental ULC Certificate for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series or Class in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Note, shall authenticate and deliver individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of such Global Note or Notes representing such Series or Class or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

(iii)
|
If specified by Rental ULC pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.1 with respect to Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note, the Depository for such Global Note may surrender such Global Note in exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to Rental ULC and such Depository. Thereupon Rental ULC shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without service
charge (A) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Note or Notes of the same Series or Class of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Note; and (B) to such Depository a new Global Note of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the Stated Principal Amount of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate Stated Principal Amount of Notes delivered to the Holders thereof.
|
(iv)
|
If any Event of Default has occurred with respect to such Global Notes, and Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the unpaid Outstanding Principal Amount of the Global Notes of that Class advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository that a Global Note is no longer in the best interest of the Noteholders, the Holders of Global Notes of that Class may exchange such Notes for individual Notes.
|
(v)
|
In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding paragraphs, Rental ULC shall execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver individual Notes in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire Stated Principal Amount of a Global Note for individual Notes, such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Indenture Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraphs, Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Note, pursuant to ins
tructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar in writing. The Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall deliver such Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.
