Upon the request of the Buyer or its designee (no more than every six months unless an Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred), the Originator will, at its expense, appoint independent public accountants (which may, with the consent of the Buyer or its designee, be United Rental’s regular independent public accountants), or utilize the representatives or auditors of the Buyer or its designee, to prepare and deliver to the Buyer or its designee a written report with respect to the Transferred Receivables and the Credit and Collection Policy (including, in each case, the systems, procedures and records relating thereto) on a scope and in a form reasonably requested by the Buyer or its designee.

(m) Payment of Sales Taxes. Each Originator will pay all sales, excise or other taxes with respect to the Receivables to the applicable taxing authority when due, and will, upon the request of the Buyer, provide the Buyer with evidence of such payment.

SECTION 5.02.00 Covenant of the Originators and the Buyer.

The Originators and the Buyer have structured this Agreement with the intention that each purchase of Receivables hereunder be treated as a sale of such Receivables by the Originators to the Buyer for all purposes. The Originators and the Buyer shall record each purchase as a sale or purchase, as the case may be, on its books and records, and reflect each purchase in its financial statements and tax returns as a sale or purchase, as the case may be. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Originators and the Buyer, any purchase of Receivables hereunder is not characterized as a sale, the Originators shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have granted (and each Originator hereby does grant) to the Buyer a first priority security interest in and to any and all Receivables, all Related Security with respect to such Receivables and all Collections with respect thereto (the “Collateral”) to secure the repayment of all amounts advanced to the Originators hereunder with accrued interest thereon, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 6.01.00 Designation and Responsibilities of Collection Agent.

(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Collection Agent”) so designated hereunder from time to time. Until the Buyer or its designee gives notice to the Originator of the designation of a new Collection Agent, United Rentals is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as an interest in the Transferred Receivables is sold pursuant to the Receivables Agreement, the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables will be arranged for and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Receivables Agreement and related documents. Upon the termination of the Receivables Agreement, at a time when this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect, the Buyer and the Originators shall incorporate, in all substantial respects, the provisions of Article IV of the Receivables Agreement or shall provide for other arrangements for the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables.

(b) Each Originator shall deliver to the Collection Agent to hold in trust for the Originator and the Buyer in accordance with their respective interests, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Transferred Receivables.

SECTION 6.02.00 Rights and Remedies.

(a) Each Originator will perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Transferred Receivables to the same extent as if the Originators had not sold or contributed Receivables to the Buyer and the exercise by the Buyer of its rights hereunder shall not release the Originators from any of their duties and obligations with respect to the Transferred Receivables. The Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall the Buyer be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Originators thereunder.

(b) The Originators shall cooperate with the Collection Agent in collecting amounts due from Obligors in respect of the Transferred Receivables.

(c) Each Originator hereby grants to the Collection Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Originator or transmitted or received by Buyer (whether or not from the Originator) in connection with any Transferred Receivable.

SECTION 6.03.00 Transfer of Records to Buyer.

(a) Each purchase and contribution of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Buyer of all of the Originator’s right and title to and interest in the records relating to such Receivables and shall include a license to the use of the Originator’s computer software system to access and create such records. Such license shall be without royalty or payment of any kind, is coupled with an interest, and shall be irrevocable until all of the Transferred Receivables are either collected in full or have been written off the books as uncollectible.

(b) Each Originator shall take such action requested by the Buyer, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest in the records relating to the Transferred Receivables and rights (whether by ownership, license or sublicense) to the use of the Originator’s computer software system to access and create such records.

(c) In recognition of an Originator’s need to have access to the records transferred to the Buyer hereunder, the Buyer hereby grants to United Rentals a license to access such records in connection with any activity arising in the ordinary course of the Originator’s business or in performance of United Rentals’ duties as Collection Agent, provided that (i) United Rentals shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the Buyer’s use of and access to such records during such license period and (ii) each Originator consents to the assignment and delivery of the records (including any information contained therein relating to the Originator or its operations) to any assignees or transferees of the Buyer provided they agree to hold such records confidential. Such license shall be without royalty or payment of any kind, is coupled with an interest, and shall be irrevocable until all of the Transferred Receivables are either collected in full or have been written off the books as uncollectible.

ARTICLE VII

EVENTS OF TERMINATION

SECTION 7.01.00 Events of Termination.

If any of the following events (“Events of Termination”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) The Collection Agent (if United Rentals or any of its Affiliates) (i) shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under this Agreement (other than as referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (a)) and such failure shall remain unremedied for three Business Days or (ii) shall fail to make when due any payment or deposit to be made by it under this Agreement; or

(e) United Rentals or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to pay any principal of or premium or interest on any of its Debt which is outstanding in a principal amount of at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Debt; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Debt; or any such Debt shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required

prepayment), redeemed, purchased or defeased, or an offer to repay, redeem, purchase or defease such Debt shall be required to be made, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof; or

(f) Any purchase or contribution of Receivables hereunder, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto shall for any reason cease to constitute valid ownership of such Receivables, Related Security and Collections free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than the security interest created pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof; or

(g) An Originator shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against an Originator seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 30 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or an Originator shall take any corporate or limited partnership action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subsection (g); or

(h) There shall have occurred any material adverse change in the business, operations, property or financial condition of an Originator since the end of its most recent fiscal quarter; or there shall have occurred any event which may materially adversely affect the collectibility of the Transferred Receivables or the ability of an Originator to collect Transferred Receivables or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement;

then, and in any such event, the Buyer may, by notice to the Originators, declare the Facility Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred) provided, that, automatically upon the occurrence of any event (without any requirement for the passage of time or the giving of notice) described in paragraph (g) of this Section 7.01, the Facility Termination Date shall occur. Upon any such declaration or designation or upon

such automatic termination, the Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables provided after default under the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE VIII
