ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS

           SECTION 2.01    Facility .

          On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and without recourse (except to the extent as is specifically provided herein), the Originators agree to sell and the Buyer agrees to purchase Receivables of the Originators from time to time during the period from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date.

           SECTION 2.02    Making Purchases .

                    (a) Purchases . On the date of the initial purchase hereunder, the Originators shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer all Receivables owned by the Originators as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Purchase Date (other than Receivables constituting Contributed Receivables pursuant to Section 2.03). Each Originator shall, on each Business Day occurring thereafter prior to the Facility Termination Date, sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer all Receivables owned by such Originator as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day. On each Purchase Date, the Buyer shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, pay the purchase price for such purchase by the deposit of such amount in same day funds to such account(s) as may be designated by the Originators. To the extent that funds are not paid at the time a Receivable is transferred, such Transferred Receivable will be deemed a Contributed Receivable.

                    (b) Determination of Purchase Price . The purchase price for the Receivables that are the subject of any purchase hereunder shall be determined on an arms length basis on or prior to the date of such purchase, and shall be equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivables, minus the Discount for such purchase.

                    (c) Ownership of Receivables and Related Security . On each Purchase Date, after giving effect to each purchase or contribution, 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.

8


                    (d) Intention of the Parties . It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the transfers of the Receivables and related rights by each 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 Transferred Receivable and the Related Security conveyed hereunder is construed to constitute property of any 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 Originators provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as the grant of, and each Originator hereby grants to Buyer, a first priority security interest in, to and under all of the Originators’ right, title and interest in, to and under all Transferred Receivables and the Related Security other than any Permitted Liens, and proceeds relating thereto conveyed by the Originators to Buyer, to secure the payment and performance of the Originators’ obligations to Buyer under this Agreement or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable law. Each Originator and Buyer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in, and not to constitute a sale of, Transferred Receivables and the Related Security, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of Buyer under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

           SECTION 2.03    Contributions .

          United (NA) may from time to time at its option, by notice to the Buyer, identify Receivables which it proposes to contribute to the Buyer as a capital contribution.

On the date of each such contribution and after giving effect thereto, the Buyer shall own the Receivables so identified and contributed (collectively, the “ Contributed Receivables ”) and all Related Security with respect thereto.

           SECTION 2.04    Collections .

                    (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 an 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, such 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 such Originator all amounts so deposited that are identified, to the Buyer’s satisfaction, to be amounts that are not Collections of Transferred Receivables.

9


           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 an 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 an Originator in Section 4.01(i) with respect to any Transferred Receivable is no longer true, such 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. If United Rentals is not the Collection Agent, each Originator shall pay to the Collection Agent on or prior to the next Settlement Date the repurchase price required to be paid pursuant to this subsection.

                    (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.

           SECTION 2.06    Payments and Computations, Etc .

                    (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Originators or the Collection Agent hereunder 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 account designated by the Buyer.

                    (c) All computations of interest and all computations of fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (365 days if computed with reference to the Alternate Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed.
