Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables. Each Purchaser Agent which has a related Purchaser shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of purchase) notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent whether thesuch respective Purchaser has determined to make a purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to such Purchaser and the yield with respect to such purchase and the amount of interest that will be due for the related Settlement Period. If (a) a Purchaser has determined not to make a proposed purchase, or (b) a Purchaser Agent does not have a related Purchaser, the respective Purchaser Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed purchase to all of the related Banks of such Purchaser Agent concurrently specifying the date of such purchase, each such Bank’s Percentage multiplied by the aggregate amount of Capital of the Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables being purchased, and, except with respect to any purchase being made by BOA, the Assignee Rate for the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, and the duration of the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchasers and the Banks against any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers and/or the Banks, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Seller to complete such transfer, including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers and/or the Banks by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by the Purchasers or the Banks (including, without limitation, funds obtained by issuing notes, obtaining deposits as loans from third parties and reemployment of funds) to fund such transfer.

(b) On the date of each such purchase of a Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, each Purchaser or the Banks, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, make available to the Seller by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds, to the account designated by the Seller, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) an amount equal to each such Purchaser’s or Bank’s ratable share (based on the applicable Bank’s Percentage) of the initial Capital of such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables.

(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 1.02 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Receivable Interests then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivable and Related Security.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section 1.02 at any time in an amount that would exceed the Bank Commitment with respect to such Bank less, in the event such Bank has any related Purchasers, such Bank’s ratable share of the outstanding and unpaid Capital of itssuch related PurchaserPurchasers. Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, and if any Bank shall fail to make funds available, each remaining Bank shall (subject to the limitation in the preceding sentence) make available its pro rata portion of the funds required to be funded for such purchase pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 1.02.

So long as the Seller shall hold any Collections or deemed Collections required to be paid to the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent, a Purchaser Agent, a Purchaser, a Bank, an Indemnified Party, or an Affected Person, it shall hold such Collections in trust (and, at the request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent, separate and apart from its own funds and shall clearly mark its records to reflect such trust).

(h) With respect to each Bank that is a Nonrenewing Bank that has not been replaced by another Bank pursuant to Section 1.13 (any such PurchaserBank, a “Non-Extending Bank”), the Collection Agent shall implement the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04(h) (a “Partial Liquidation”). On each Business Day prior to such Non-Extending Bank’s Bank Commitment being reduced to zero (provided that no Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing), the Collection Agent shall apply funds out of the Collections represented by the Receivable Interest received and not previously applied in the following manner:

(i) set aside and hold in trust in the Collection Account, for the benefit of the Non-Extending Banks and their related Purchasers, if any, an amount equal to all Yield and fee(s) and other payments owed under the Fee Agreements (based on the Receivable Interest at such time), in each case accrued through such day and not so previously set aside or paid. The Collection Agent shall thereafter pay to each applicable Purchaser Agent (ratably according to accrued Yield and fees and other payments owed under the Fee Agreements) on the last day of each Settlement Period for the Non-Extending Banks the amount of such accrued and unpaid fees and other payments owed under the Fee Agreements and Yield;

(ii) pay to each applicable Purchaser Agent for the account of each Non-Extending Bank, if any, related to such Purchaser Agent (ratably based on the Bank Commitment of the Non-Extending Bank at such time), and, in the event such Non-Extending Bank has any related Purchasers, for the account of anysuch related Purchasers solely to the extent necessary to reduce any such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Limit to an amount that is equal to or lesser than the amount of any available Bank Commitment of any remaining Banks related to any such Purchaser at such time, from such Collections remaining after application pursuant to clause (i) above, the amount of such Bank Commitment of the Non-Extending Bank; provided that, solely for purposes of determining such Non-Extending Bank’s ratable share of such Collections, such Bank Commitment shall be deemed to remain constant from the date such Bank becomes a Non-Extending Bank until the date such Bank Commitment of the Non-Extending Bank has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Date or a day on which an Event of Termination has occurred, the Bank Commitment of the Non-Extending Bank shall be recalculated at such time (taking into account amounts received by or on behalf of such Bank in respect of its Capital pursuant to this clause (ii)), and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for payment to all Investors (ratably according to the Bank Commitment of such Non-Extending Bank) pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and

(iii) reinvest the balance of such Collections in respect of Capital to the acquisition of additional undivided percentage interests pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof.

(i) Within one Business Day after the end of each Fixed Period, each Purchaser Agent shall furnish the Seller with an invoice setting forth the amount of the accrued and unpaid Yield and fees for such Fixed Period with respect to the Receivable Interests held by such Purchaser Agent’s related Investors.

SECTION 1.05. Fees.

(a) The Collection Agent shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Collection Agent Fee”) of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate Capital of each Receivable Interest owned by each Investor or Bank on the last day of each calendar month, payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month following each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents, the Collection Agent (if not United Rentals) may elect to be paid, as such fee, a different percentage per annum on the aggregate Capital of such Receivable Interest for such Settlement Period, but in no event in excess for all Receivable Interests relating to a single Receivables Pool of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables in such Receivables Pool. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 1.04.

(b) The Seller agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Fee Agreement with the Administrative Agent and each of the Purchaser Agents, as applicable.

SECTION 1.06. Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) No later than the first Business Day of each month, each Purchaser Agent on behalf of thewhich has a related Purchaser shall calculate, on behalf of such related Purchaser, the aggregate amount of Yield applicable to the portion of all Receivable Interests funded with Pooled Commercial Paper for the Settlement Period then most recently ended and shall notify Seller of such aggregate amount.

(b) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent, including all Broken Funding Costs, hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents, a Purchaser or any other Investor or Bank shall be paid or deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account or the applicable Purchaser Agent’s Account, as applicable.

(c) The Seller and Collection Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or Collection Agent, as applicable (whether as Collection Agent or otherwise), when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable upon the demand of the related Purchaser Agent.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any change in national or international generally accepted principles of accounting (whether foreign or domestic) that would require the consolidation of some or all of the assets and liabilities of any Purchaser or Bank, including the assets and liabilities that are the subject of this Agreement and/or other Transaction Documents, but excluding any assets and liabilities that are currently consolidated with those of any Affected Person (other than such Purchaser or Bank), shall constitute a change in the interpretation, administration or application of a law, regulation, guideline or request subject to Section 1.08(a), (b) and (c).

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Seller if any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle an Affected Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 1.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such notice is not given to the Seller by the Administrative Agent, such Affected Person shall not be entitled to compensation from the Administrative Agent for any additional costs incurred as a result of such failure to notify.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Affected Person shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 1.08 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Affected Person to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other similar agreements, including, but not limited to, credit agreements and receivables purchase agreements, if any (and such Affected Person so certifies to the Seller).

SECTION 1.09. Intended Characterization; Security Interest.

The Seller, the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent, the Investors, the Banks and the Purchaser Agents intend that the sale, assignment and transfer of the Receivable Interests to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be treated as a true sale for all purposes, other than federal and state income tax purposes and accounting purposes. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the sale, assignment and transfer of the Receivable Interests is not treated as a sale for all purposes, other than federal and state income tax purposes, (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 sale, assignment and transfer of the Receivable Interests shall be treated as a grant of, and the Seller does hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, and as collateral security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller (whether as the Seller or otherwise) to be performed under this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this Agreement, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Seller hereunder or thereunder, whether for indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise, a security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the Seller’s obligations under) all of the following, whether now or hereafter existing or arising:

SECTION 1.12. Repurchase Option.

So long as no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination would occur or be continuing after giving effect thereto, the Seller shall have the right to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Purchaser Agents. Such notice shall specify the date that the Seller desires that such repurchase occur (such date, the “Repurchase Date”). On the Repurchase Date, the Seller shall transfer to each Purchaser Agent’s Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to (i) the Capital of the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks, (ii) all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon to the Repurchase Date, (iii) all accrued and unpaid fees owing to the Investors and the Banks under the Fee Agreements, (iv) the Liquidation Fee owing to the Investors and the Banks in respect of such repurchase and (v) all expenses and other amounts payable hereunder to any of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors and the Banks (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements for a single firm of primary counsel). Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 1.12 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors or the Banks (except for a warranty that all Receivable Interests repurchased are transferred free of any lien, security interest or Adverse Claim created solely by the actions of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors or the Banks). Further, on the Repurchase Date the Bank Commitments for all the Banks shall terminate, each of the Commitment Termination Date and Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, and no further purchases or reinvestments of Collections shall be made hereunder.

SECTION 1.13. Extension; Additional Purchasers; Increased Commitments.

(a) Extension of Term. The Seller may, at any time during the period which is no more than forty-five (45) days or less than thirty (30) days immediately preceding the Commitment Termination Date (as such date may have previously been extended pursuant to this Section 1.13), request that the then applicable Commitment Termination Date be extended for an additional 364 days. Any such request shall be in writing and delivered to the Purchaser Agents, and shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) no Bank shall have an obligation to extend the Commitment Termination Date at any time, and (ii) any such extension with respect to any Bank shall be effective only upon the written agreement of such Bank and the related Purchaser Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Collection Agent. Each Bank will respond to any such request no later than the fifteenth day prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Response Deadline”), provided that a failure by any Bank to respond by the Response Deadline shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitment Termination Date shall not occur as a result of any Bank’s failure to agree to any such extension (each such Bank being a “Nonrenewing Bank”) if, on or prior to such date, such Nonrenewing Bank is replaced by another Bank which has a Bank Commitment equal to such Nonrenewing Bank.

(b) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion, add additional persons as Banks, Purchasers and Purchaser Agents or cause an existing Bank to increase its Bank Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, that the Bank Commitment of any Bank may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Bank and, its related Purchaser and Purchaser Agent and, if such Bank has any related Purchasers, such related Purchasers. Each new Bank, Purchaser and Purchaser Agent shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Seller, an assumption agreement pursuant to which such Bank, Purchaser and/or Purchaser Agent shall agree to become bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Bank, Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 5.05. Bank’s Purchase Decision.

Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as they have deemed appropriate, made their own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 5.06. [Reserved]

SECTION 5.07. Notice of Event of Termination.

Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Termination unless such Person has received notice from another Purchaser Agent, a Purchaser, the Seller or the Collection Agent referring to this Agreement, stating that an Event of Termination has occurred hereunder and describing such Event of Termination. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its related Purchasers, if any, and its related Banks. In the event that any Purchaser Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Agents whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its related Purchasers, if any, and its related Banks. Subject to the waiver provisions set forth in Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall take such action concerning an Event of Termination as may be directed by the Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers or Banks), but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers, Banks and Purchaser Agents.
