(c) Ownership of Receivables and Related Security. On each Purchase Date, after giving effect to each purchase or contribution of Receivables, the Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables. The acquisition of any Receivable shall include all rights to, but not the obligations under, all Related Security with respect to such Receivable and all Collections with respect thereto and other proceeds of such Receivable and Related Security.

(d) Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the transfers of the Receivables and related rights by the Originator to the Buyer, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, true sales of the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security for all purposes, providing the Buyer with full risks and benefits of ownership and not as loans secured by the Receivables and related rights. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties or any other provision hereof, any Receivable and the Related Security purported to be conveyed hereunder is construed to constitute property of the Originator or such conveyance is not treated as a sale to Buyer for all purposes, then (i) this Agreement also is intended by the parties to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) the conveyance by the Originator provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as the grant of, and the Originator hereby grants to Buyer, a first priority security interest in, to and under all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Transferred Receivables, all Related Security and all Collections and proceeds relating thereto conveyed by the Originator to Buyer, to secure the payment and performance of the Originator’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable law.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed, the Collection Agent shall, on each Settlement Date, deposit into an account of the Buyer or the Buyer’s assignee all Collections of Transferred Receivables then held by the Collection Agent.

(b) In the event that the Originator believes that amounts that are not Collections of Transferred Receivables have been deposited into an account of the Buyer or the Buyer’s assignee, the Originator shall so advise the Buyer and, on the Business Day following such identification, the Buyer shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, to the Originator all amounts so deposited that are identified, to the Buyer’s satisfaction, to be amounts that are not Collections of Transferred Receivables.

SECTION 2.05 Settlement Procedures.

(a) If on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Transferred Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any Dilution, or any setoff or dispute between the Originator and an Obligor due to a claim arising out of the same or any other transaction or if on any day any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator in Section 4.01(i) with respect to any Transferred Receivable is no longer true, the Originator shall repurchase such Transferred Receivable on the next succeeding Settlement Date for a repurchase price equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Transferred Receivable. Each repurchase of a Transferred Receivable shall include the Related Security with respect to such Transferred Receivable. The proceeds of any such repurchase shall be deemed to be a Collection in respect of such Transferred Receivable.

(b) Except as stated in subsection (a) of this Section or as otherwise required by law or the underlying Contract, all Collections from an Obligor of any Transferred Receivable shall be applied to the Transferred Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Transferred Receivables, starting with the oldest such Transferred Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Transferred Receivables.

(c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Originator of this Agreement or any other document to be delivered hereunder, except for the filing of UCC financing statements which are referred to herein other than those which have been obtained; provided that the right of any assignee of a Receivable the obligor of which is a Government Obligor to enforce such Receivable directly against such obligor may be restricted by the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar applicable law to the extent the Originator or the Buyer shall not have complied with the applicable provisions of any such law in connection with the assignment or subsequent reassignment of any such Receivable.

(d) Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator enforceable against the Originator in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(e) Sales and contributions made pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Buyer, enforceable against creditors of, and purchasers from, the Originator. The Originator shall have no remaining property interest in any Transferred Receivable.

(f) The consolidated balance sheets of United Rentals and its Subsidiaries as at the end of its most recent fiscal year, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings of United Rentals and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, copies of which have been or will be furnished to the Buyer in accordance with Section 5.01(j) below, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of United Rentals and its Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated results of the operations of United Rentals and its Subsidiaries for the period ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and since the end of its most recent fiscal year there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, property or financial condition of United Rentals and its Subsidiaries, except as may have previously been disclosed to the Buyer.

(e) Extension or Amendment of Transferred Receivables. The Originator will not (i) extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms or any Transferred Receivable in a manner inconsistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, that would result in the Dilution of such Transferred Receivable or that would otherwise prevent such Transferred Receivable from being an Eligible Receivable under the Receivables Agreement unless, in each case, the Originator shall have repurchased such Transferred Receivable, or (ii) amend, modify or waive in any material respect any term or condition relating to payments under or enforcement of any Contract related thereto.

SECTION 5.02 Covenant of the Originator and the Buyer.

The Originator and the Buyer have structured this Agreement with the intention that each purchase or contribution of Receivables hereunder be treated as a sale or absolute conveyance of such Transferred Receivables by the Originator to the Buyer for all purposes. The Originator and the Buyer shall (i) either (x) record each purchase as a sale or purchase, as the case may be, on its books and records or (y) record each contribution as a capital contribution on its books and records, and (ii) reflect each purchase or contribution in its financial statements and tax returns as a sale, contribution or purchase, as the case may be. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Originator and the Buyer, any purchase, transfer, or contribution of Receivables hereunder is not characterized as a sale or absolute conveyance, the Originator shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have granted (and the Originator hereby does grant) to the Buyer a first priority security interest in and to any and all Transferred Receivables, all Related Security and all Collections and proceeds relating thereto (the “Collateral”) to secure the repayment of all amounts advanced to the Originator hereunder with accrued interest thereon and performance of the Originator’s obligations to Buyer hereunder or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable law, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement.
