UNITED RENTALS
 
United Rentals is the largest equipment rental company in the world. We offer for rent over 600 types of equipment—everything from heavy machines to hand tools—through our network of more than 750 rental locations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We currently serve more than 1.6 million customers, including construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and others.
 
Our fleet of rental equipment, the largest in the world, includes over 500,000 units having an original purchase price of approximately $3.7 billion. The fleet includes:
 
 
 
General construction and industrial equipment, such as backhoes, skid-steer loaders, forklifts, earth moving equipment, material handling equipment, compressors, pumps and generators;
 
 
 
Aerial work platforms, such as scissor lifts and boom lifts;
 
 
 
Tools and light equipment, such as power washers, water pumps, heaters and hand tools;
 
 
 
Traffic control equipment, such as barricades, cones, warning lights, message boards and pavement marking systems; and
 
 
 
Trench safety equipment for below ground work, such as trench shields, aluminum hydraulic shoring systems, slide rails, crossing plates, construction lasers and line testing equipment.
 
In addition to renting equipment, we sell used rental equipment, act as a dealer for new equipment and sell related merchandise, parts and service.
 
Industry Background
 
We estimate that the U.S. equipment rental industry has grown from approximately $6.5 billion in annual rental revenues in 1990 to about $25 billion in 2001, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 12.9%. We believe that long-term industry growth, in addition to reflecting general economic expansion, is being driven by the increasing recognition by equipment users of the many advantages that equipment rental may offer compared with ownership. They recognize that by renting they can:
 
 
 
avoid the large capital investment required for equipment purchases;
 
 
 
access a broad selection of equipment and select the equipment best suited for each particular job;
 
 
 
reduce storage and maintenance costs; and
 
 
 
access the latest technology without investing in new equipment.
 
While the construction industry has to date been the principal user of rental equipment, industrial companies, utilities and others are increasingly using rental equipment for plant maintenance, plant turnarounds and other functions requiring the periodic use of equipment.

Competitive Advantages
 
We believe that we benefit from the following competitive advantages:
 
Large and Diverse Rental Fleet.    Our rental fleet is the largest and most comprehensive in the industry, which allows us to:
 
 
 
attract customers by providing “one-stop” shopping;
 
 
 
serve a diverse customer base and reduce our dependence on any particular customer or group of customers; and
 
 
 
serve customers that require substantial quantities and/or wide varieties of equipment.
 
Significant Purchasing Power.    We purchase large amounts of equipment, merchandise and other items, which enables us to negotiate favorable pricing, warranty and other terms with our vendors.
 
Operating Efficiencies.    We benefit from the following operating efficiencies:
 
Equipment Sharing Among Branches.    We generally group our branches into clusters of 10 to 30 locations that are in the same geographic area. Each branch within a cluster can access all available equipment in the cluster area. This increases equipment utilization because equipment that is idle at one branch can be marketed and rented through other branches. In the third quarter of 2002, the sharing of equipment among branches accounted for approximately 11.8%, or $73 million, of our total rental revenue.
 
Ability to Transfer Equipment to Other Branches.    The size of our branch network gives us the ability to take advantage of strength at a particular branch or in a particular region by permanently transferring underutilized equipment from weaker to stronger areas.
 
Consolidation of Common Functions.    We reduce costs through the consolidation of functions that are common to our more than 750 branches, such as payroll, accounts payable and credit and collection, into 17 credit offices and three service centers.
 
State-of-the-Art Information Technology Systems.    We have state-of-the-art information technology systems that facilitate our ability to make rapid and informed decisions, respond quickly to changing market conditions, and share equipment among branches. We have an in-house team of approximately 100 information technology specialists that supports our systems.
 
National Account Program.    Our National Account sales force is dedicated to establishing and expanding relationships with large companies, particularly those with a national or multi-regional presence. We offer our National Account customers the benefits of a consistent level of service across North America, a wide selection of equipment and a single point of contact for all their equipment needs. Our National Account team serves approximately 1,700 National Account customers.
 
Geographic and Customer Diversity.    We have more than 750 branches in 47 states, seven Canadian provinces and Mexico and serve customers that range from Fortune 500 companies to small companies and homeowners. In 2001, we served more than 1.4 million customers and our top ten customers accounted for less than 3% of our revenues. We believe that our geographic and customer diversity provide us with many advantages including: (1) enabling us to better serve National Account customers with multiple locations, (2) helping us achieve favorable resale prices for used equipment by giving us access to resale markets across North America and by allowing us to market used equipment directly to end-user customers, (3) reducing our dependence on any particular customer and (4) reducing the impact that fluctuations in regional economic conditions have on our overall financial performance.

Risk Management and Safety Programs.    We believe that we have one of the most comprehensive risk management and safety programs in the industry. Our risk management department is staffed by 41 experienced professionals and is responsible for implementing our safety programs and procedures, developing our employee and customer training programs and managing any claims against us.
 
Strong and Motivated Branch Management.    Each of our branches has a full-time branch manager who is supervised by one of our 56 district managers and nine regional vice presidents. We believe that our managers are among the most knowledgeable and experienced in the industry, and we empower them—within budgetary guidelines—to make day-to-day decisions concerning branch matters. Senior management closely tracks branch, district and regional performance with extensive systems and controls, including performance benchmarks and detailed monthly operating reviews. The compensation of branch managers and other branch personnel is linked to their branch’s financial performance and return on assets. This incentivizes branch personnel to control costs, optimize pricing, share equipment with other branches and manage their fleet efficiently.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    Basis of Presentation
 
General
 
United Rentals, Inc., is principally a holding company (“Holdings” or the “Company”) and conducts its operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URI”) and subsidiaries of URI. Separate footnote information is not presented for the financial statements of URI and subsidiaries as that information is substantially equivalent to that presented below. Earnings per share data is not provided for the operating results of URI and its subsidiaries as they are wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdings.
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. Interim financial statements do not require all disclosures normally presented in year-end financial statements, and, accordingly, certain disclosures have been omitted. Results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” effective January 1, 2002. This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets”. Under this standard, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests on a reporting unit level. Other intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The reporting units for the Company are its reporting branches. Upon adoption, the Company performed a transitional impairment test on its reporting units. As a result of this transitional impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $288.3 million, net of tax benefit, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. See Note 3 for further information.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”. This Standard rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt”, and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements”. This Standard also rescinds SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers”. This Standard amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”, to eliminate an inconsistency related to the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease modifications. This Standard also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Upon the adoption of this Standard, effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, the Company will be required to reclassify a pre-tax extraordinary loss of approximately $18.1 million recognized during the second

quarter of 2001 to operating income. The adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. This Standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This Standard nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”. This Standard is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
 
2.    Acquisitions
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company completed two acquisitions, one of which is further described below, and three acquisitions, respectively, that were accounted for as purchases. The results of operations of the businesses acquired in these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective acquisition dates.
 
On June 30, 2002, the Company acquired 35 rental locations from National Equipment Services, Inc. for approximately $110.6 million in cash, which was determined based primarily on the number of locations acquired and their financial performance. The acquisition of these rental locations was made to complement the Company’s existing network of rental locations. The results of operations of the acquisition are included in the Company’s statement of operations as of the date of acquisition.
 
The purchase prices for such acquisitions have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at their respective acquisition dates. However, the Company has not completed its valuation of all of its purchases and, accordingly, the purchase price allocations are subject to change when additional information concerning asset and liability valuations are completed. The preliminary purchase price allocations that are subject to change primarily consist of rental and non-rental equipment valuations. These allocations are finalized within 12 months of the acquisition date and are not expected to result in significant differences between the preliminary and final allocations.

The Company’s reporting units are its reporting branches. The transitional impairment loss recorded during the first quarter of 2002 upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 related to certain branches that decreased in value. The factors that negatively affected the values of these branches included the following: (i) continued weakness in non-residential construction spending which negatively affects the Company’s earnings and (ii) to a lesser extent, operational weakness at some branches and increased competition for some branches. The fair values of the Company’s reporting units were based upon valuation techniques using multiples of earnings and revenues.
 
The Company is currently performing the annual impairment test as required under SFAS No. 142 and estimates that it will record a pre-tax impairment charge in the range of $220 million to $270 million during the fourth quarter of 2002. This non-cash impairment charge will be recorded on the income statement and will reduce operating income by a corresponding amount. We expect that this charge will be required principally due to the factors described above.

Effective September 30, 2002 the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement governing its revolving credit facility and term loan. This amendment, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate amount

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

of the credit facility that is available in the form of letters of credit, (ii) reduced the minimum interest coverage ratio that the Company is required to maintain for the period July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2003 and (iii) changed certain definitions for purposes of measuring the Company’s compliance with its financial covenants under the credit agreement.
 
8.    Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries
 
Certain indebtedness of URI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Parent”), is guaranteed by URI’s United States subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”) and, in certain cases, also by Parent. However, this indebtedness is not guaranteed by URI’s foreign subsidiaries (the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”). The guarantor subsidiaries are all wholly-owned and the guarantees are made on a joint and several basis and are full and unconditional (subject to subordination provisions and subject to a standard limitation which provides that the maximum amount guaranteed by each guarantor will not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws). Separate consolidated financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented because management believes that such information would not be material to investors. However, condensed consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, are presented. The condensed consolidating financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries are as follows:

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion reviews our operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included herein and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
General
 
We are the largest equipment rental company in the world. Our revenues are divided into three categories:
 
 
 
Equipment rentals—This category includes our revenues from renting equipment. This category also includes related revenues such as the fees we charge for equipment delivery, fuel, repair of rental equipment and damage waivers.
 
 
 
Sales of rental equipment—This category includes our revenues from the sale of used rental equipment.
 
 
 
Sales of equipment and merchandise and other revenues—This category principally includes our revenues from the following sources: (i) the sale of new equipment, (ii) the sale of supplies and merchandise, (iii) repair services and the sale of parts for equipment owned by customers and (iv) the operations of our subsidiary that develops and markets software for use by equipment rental companies in managing and operating multiple branch locations.
 
Our cost of operations consists primarily of: (i) depreciation costs relating to the rental equipment that we own and lease payments for the rental equipment that we hold under operating leases, (ii) the cost of repairing and maintaining rental equipment, (iii) the cost of the items that we sell including new and used equipment and related parts, merchandise and supplies and (iv) personnel costs, occupancy costs and supply costs.
 
We record rental equipment expenditures at cost and depreciate equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life (which ranges from two to ten years), after giving effect to an estimated salvage value of zero to ten percent of cost.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include sales commissions, advertising and marketing expenses, management salaries, and clerical and administrative overhead.
 
Non-rental depreciation and amortization includes (i) depreciation expense associated with equipment that is not offered for rent (such as vehicles, computers and office equipment) and amortization expense associated with leasehold improvements, (ii) the amortization of deferred financing costs and (iii) the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. As described below, effective January 1, 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill. Our other intangible assets are non-compete agreements.
 
Change in Accounting Treatment for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” issued by the Financial Accountants Standards Board (“FASB”). Under this Standard, our goodwill, which we previously amortized over 40 years, is no longer being amortized. Our approximately $17.3 million of other intangible assets, which consist of non-compete agreements, continue to be amortized over their remaining useful lives. Under the new accounting standard, we are required to periodically review our goodwill for impairment. In general, this means that we must determine whether the fair value of the goodwill, determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards, is at least equal to the recorded value shown on our balance sheet. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the recorded value, we are required to write off the excess goodwill and to treat this write-off as an expense. We completed our initial impairment

Table of Contents
analysis in the first quarter of 2002 and recorded a non-cash impairment charge, net of tax benefit, of $288.3 million. This charge is reflected on our consolidated statements of operations as “cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.”
 
We are currently performing the annual impairment test as required under SFAS No. 142 and estimate that we will record a pre-tax impairment charge in the range of $220 million to $270 million during the fourth quarter of 2002. This non-cash impairment charge will be recorded on the income statement and will reduce our operating income by a corresponding amount. We expect that this charge will be required because some of our branches have decreased in value principally due to (i) continued weakness in non-residential construction spending which, as described below, has negatively affected our earnings and (ii) to a lesser extent, operational weakness at some branches and increased competition for some branches.
 
Restructuring Plan for 2002
 
We adopted a restructuring plan during the fourth quarter of 2002. We expect the plan to involve the following principal elements: (i) approximately 35 to 40 underperforming branches will be closed or consolidated with other locations; (ii) approximately three to five administrative offices will be closed or consolidated with other locations; (iii) our workforce will be reduced by approximately 450 to 475 through the termination of branch and administrative personnel; and (iv) other restructuring related items.
 
We expect to record, in the fourth quarter of 2002, a restructuring charge in the range of $25 million to $28 million for the restructuring plan described above. This charge is comprised primarily of cash outlays most of which will be made in periods subsequent to 2002. The restructuring charge will be recorded on our income statement and will reduce our operating income by a corresponding amount.
 
Results of Operations
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001
 
Revenues.    We had total revenues of $2,126.8 million in the first nine months of 2002, representing a decrease of 2.6% from total revenues of $2,182.6 million in the first nine months of 2001. The different components of our revenues are discussed below:
 
1.    Equipment Rentals.    Our revenues from equipment rentals were $1,613.4 million in the first nine months of 2002, representing a decrease of 3.4% from $1,670.0 million in the first nine months of 2001. These revenues accounted for 75.9% and 76.5% of our total revenues in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in rental revenues principally reflected the following:
 
 
 
Our rental revenues from locations open more than one year, or same store rental revenues, decreased by approximately 3.4%. This decrease reflected a 4.7% decrease in rental rates, which was partially offset by an increase in the volume of rental transactions. The decrease in rental rates principally reflected continued weakness in non-residential construction spending.
 
 
 
We also lost revenues because we closed or consolidated a number of underperforming branches during 2001. These lost revenues were offset by additional revenues from start-ups and acquisitions.
 
2.    Sales of Rental Equipment.    Our revenues from the sale of rental equipment were $133.2 million in the first nine months of 2002, representing a 23.7% increase from $107.7 million in the first nine months of 2001. These revenues accounted for 6.3% of our total revenues in the first nine months of 2002 compared with 4.9% in the first nine months of 2001. The increase in these revenues in 2002 primarily reflected our decision to dispose of certain assets that were being underutilized principally due to the continued weakness in non-residential construction spending.
 
3.    Sales of Equipment and Merchandise and Other Revenues.    Our revenues from “sales of equipment and merchandise and other revenues” were $380.3 million in the first nine months of 2002, representing a decrease of 6.1% from $404.9 million in the first nine months of 2001. These revenues

29


Table of Contents
accounted for 17.9% of our total revenues in the first nine months of 2002 compared with 18.6% of our total revenues in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in these revenues in the first nine months of 2002 principally reflected a decrease in the volume of transactions.
 
Gross Profit.    Our gross profit decreased to $678.2 million in the first nine months of 2002 from $793.9 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease reflected the decrease in total revenues discussed above, as well as the decrease in gross profit margin described below from equipment rentals and the sales of rental equipment. Information concerning our gross profit margin by source of revenue is set forth below:
 
1.    Equipment Rentals.    Our gross profit margin from equipment rental revenues was 32.7% in the first nine months of 2002 and 38.3% in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in 2002 principally reflected the decrease in rental rates described above and, to a lesser extent, higher costs related to wages, employee benefits and insurance.
 
2.    Sales of Rental Equipment.    Our gross profit margin from the sales of rental equipment was 34.5% in the first nine months of 2002 and 40.8% in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in 2002 primarily reflected continued price weakness in the used equipment market.
 
3.    Sales of Equipment and Merchandise and Other Revenues.    Our gross profit margin from “sales of equipment and merchandise and other revenues” was 27.6% in the first nine months of 2002 and 27.2% in the first nine months of 2001.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $315.9 million, or 14.9% of total revenues, during the first nine months of 2002 and $332.7 million, or 15.2% of total revenues, during the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in SG&A in 2002 primarily reflected our ongoing efforts at cutting costs, including reducing the number of administrative personnel, reducing discretionary expenditures and consolidating certain credit and collection facilities.
 
Restructuring Charge.    We recorded a restructuring charge of $28.9 million in the second quarter of 2001 related to the adoption of a restructuring plan. For additional information, see Note 4 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
 
Non-rental Depreciation and Amortization.    Non-rental depreciation and amortization decreased to $42.7 million, or 2.0% of total revenues, in the first nine months of 2002 from $80.3 million, or 3.7% of total revenues, in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to a new accounting standard (discussed above under “—Change in Accounting Treatment For Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”) which eliminated the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002.
 
Operating Income.    Operating income was $319.6 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $352.0 million in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in the first nine months of 2002 was attributable to the declines in revenues and gross profit described above. The adverse effects of these factors were somewhat offset by the following: (i) the new accounting standard which eliminated the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002 as discussed above and (ii) our results in 2001 were depressed by the $28.9 million restructuring charge discussed above.
 
Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased to $146.2 million in the first nine months of 2002 from $171.3 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease primarily reflected lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and lower debt outstanding due to the repayment of debt during 2001.
 
Preferred Dividends of a Subsidiary Trust.    Preferred dividends of a subsidiary trust were $13.9 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared to $14.6 million during the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in 2002 reflects a decrease in the amount of our outstanding trust preferred securities.
 
Other (Income) Expense.    Other income was $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared with other expense of $6.5 million in the first nine months of 2001. The other income in 2002 was primarily attributable to the favorable settlement of a lawsuit for net proceeds of $4.0 million. The other expense in 2001 was primarily attributable to a $7.8 million charge related to the refinancing costs of a synthetic lease.

Income Taxes.    Income taxes were $63.5 million, or an effective rate of 39.0%, in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $69.2 million, or an effective rate of 43.3%, in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in the effective rate in the first nine months of 2002 primarily reflected (i) the elimination for book purposes of non-tax deductible goodwill amortization upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as discussed above and (ii) that in 2001 certain costs in the restructuring charge were non-deductible for income tax purposes.
 
Income Before Extraordinary Item and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.    Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $99.5 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $90.4 million in the first nine months of 2001. The increase in the first nine months of 2002 principally reflected the following factors discussed above: (i) amortization of goodwill was eliminated in 2002, (ii) 2001 results were depressed by a $28.9 million restructuring charge, (iii) interest expense was lower and other income higher in 2002 and (iv) the effective tax rate was lower in 2002. The positive impact of the foregoing factors was substantially, but not entirely, offset by the decline in gross profit described above.
 
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.    As described under “—Change in Accounting Treatment for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we recorded an amount of $288.3 million, net of tax, for impairment of goodwill as part of our transitional impairment test upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142.
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001
 
Revenues.    We had total revenues of $783.1 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing a decrease of 1.6% from total revenues of $795.5 million in the third quarter of 2001. The different components of our revenues are discussed below:
 
1.    Equipment Rentals.    Our revenues from equipment rentals were $615.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing a decrease of 1.7% from $626.3 million in the third quarter of 2001. These revenues accounted for 78.6% and 78.7% of our total revenues in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in rental revenues principally reflected the net effect of the following factors:
 
 
 
Our rental revenues from locations open more than one year, or same store rental revenues, decreased by approximately 2.8%. This decrease reflected a 6.1% decrease in rental rates partially offset by an increase in the volume of rental transactions. The decrease in rental rates principally reflected continued weakness in non-residential construction spending.
 
 
 
The decrease in same store rental revenues was partially offset by additional revenues from start-ups and acquisitions, which exceeded revenues lost from branches closed or consolidated.
 
2.    Sales of Rental Equipment.    Our revenues from the sale of rental equipment were $39.4 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing a 11.2% increase from $35.4 million in the third quarter of 2001. These revenues accounted for 5.0% of our total revenues in the third quarter of 2002 compared with 4.5% in the third quarter of 2001. The increase in these revenues in 2002 primarily reflected our decision to dispose of certain assets that were being underutilized principally due to the continued weakness in non-residential construction spending.
 
3.    Sales of Equipment and Merchandise and Other Revenues.    Our revenues from “sales of equipment and merchandise and other revenues” were $128.2 million in the third quarter of 2002, representing a decrease of 4.1% from $133.8 million in the third quarter of 2001. These revenues accounted for 16.4% of our total revenues in the third quarter of 2002 compared with 16.8% of our total revenues in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in these revenues in the third quarter of 2002 principally reflected a decrease in the volume of transactions.
 
Gross Profit.    Our gross profit decreased to $245.7 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $305.2 million in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease reflected the decrease in total revenues discussed above, as well as the

31


Table of Contents
decrease in gross profit margin described below. Information concerning our gross profit margin by source of revenue is set forth below:
 
1.    Equipment Rentals.    Our gross profit margin from equipment rental revenues was 32.3% in the third quarter of 2002 and 40.7% in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in 2002 principally reflected the decrease in rental rates described above and, to a lesser extent, higher costs related to wages, employee benefits and insurance.
 
2.    Sales of Rental Equipment.    Our gross profit margin from the sales of rental equipment was 33.3% in the third quarter of 2002 and 39.7% in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in 2002 primarily reflected continued price weakness in the used equipment market.
 
3.    Sales of Equipment and Merchandise and Other Revenues.    Our gross profit margin from “sales of equipment and merchandise and other revenues” was 26.6% in the third quarter of 2002 and 27.3% in the third quarter of 2001.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    SG&A was $110.9 million, or 14.2% of total revenues, during the third quarter of 2002 and $111.0 million, or 13.9% of total revenues, during the third quarter of 2001.
 
Non-rental Depreciation and Amortization.    Non-rental depreciation and amortization decreased to $15.0 million, or 1.9% of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2002 from $27.1 million, or 3.4% of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to a new accounting standard (discussed above under “—Change in Accounting Treatment For Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”) which eliminated the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002.
 
Operating Income.    Operating income was $119.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $167.2 million in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in the third quarter of 2002 primarily reflected the decline in revenues and gross profit described above. The negative impact of these declines was partially offset by the elimination of the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002 as discussed above.
 
Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased to $48.7 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $56.7 million in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease primarily reflected lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and lower debt outstanding due to our repayments of debt.
 
Preferred Dividends of a Subsidiary Trust.    Preferred dividends of a subsidiary trust were $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, compared to $4.9 million during the third quarter of 2001. The decrease is due to the decrease in the amount of our outstanding trust preferred securities.
 
Other (Income) Expense.    Other income was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2001.
 
Income Taxes.    Income taxes were $26.0 million, or an effective rate of 39.0%, in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $44.0 million, or an effective rate of 41.5%, in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in the effective rate in the third quarter of 2002 primarily reflected the elimination for book purposes of non-tax deductible goodwill amortization upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as discussed above.
 
Income Before Extraordinary Item and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.    Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was $40.8 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $62.1 million in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in the third quarter of 2002 principally reflected the decline in gross profit described above. The negative impact of this decline was partially offset by the elimination of the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002 as discussed above and lower interest expense in 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Certain Balance Sheet Changes
 
The decreases in goodwill and retained earnings at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001 were attributable to the write-off of goodwill as a result of the transitional impairment test required upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as described under “—Change in Accounting Treatment for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The increase in debt at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001 was primarily attributable to borrowings to fund an acquisition in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in deferred taxes at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001 was attributable primarily to the tax effects of the goodwill write-off and the exercise of stock options during the first nine months of 2002. The increase in additional paid-in capital at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001 was attributable primarily to: (i) the issuance of additional shares upon the exercise of stock options and the award of restricted stock, partially offset by common stock repurchased and retired, and (ii) the repurchase of 335,000 shares of our trust preferred securities at a price less than the liquidation preference of such shares.
 
Sources and Uses of Cash
 
During the first nine months of 2002, we (i) generated cash from operations of approximately $357.0 million, (ii) generated cash from the sale of rental equipment of approximately $133.2 million, (iii) obtained cash from the exercise of stock options, net of common stock repurchased and retired, of approximately $37.0 million and (iv) obtained cash from borrowings, net of repayments, of approximately $143.6 million. We used cash during this period principally to (i) pay consideration for acquisitions (approximately $163.3 million), (ii) purchase and pay deposits on rental equipment (approximately $469.7 million), (iii) purchase other property and equipment (approximately $32.6 million), (iv) repurchase and retire trust preferred securities (approximately $11.5 million) and (v) pay financing costs (approximately $3.1 million).
 
Cash Requirements Related to Operations
 
Our principal existing sources of cash are cash generated from operations and from the sale of used equipment and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. As of November 7, 2002, we had $408.9 million of borrowing capacity available under our $750 million revolving credit facility (reflecting outstanding loans of approximately $250.1 million and outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $91.0 million). We believe that our existing sources of cash will be sufficient to support our existing operations over the next 12 months.
 
We expect that our principal needs for cash relating to our existing operations over the next 12 months will be to fund (i) operating activities and working capital, (ii) the purchase of rental equipment and inventory items offered for sale, (iii) payments due under operating leases and (iv) debt service. We plan to fund such cash requirements relating to our existing operations from our existing sources of cash described above.
 
The amount of our future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors, including general economic conditions and growth prospects. Based on current conditions, we estimate that capital expenditures for our existing operations will be approximately $25 million for the fourth quarter of 2002 and in the range of $330 million to $360 million for all of 2003. These projected expenditures for 2003 are comprised of approximately (i) $290 million to $310 million of expenditures to replace rental equipment sold and (ii) $40 million to $50 million of expenditures for the purchase of non-rental equipment. We expect that we will fund such expenditures from proceeds from the sale of used equipment, cash generated from operations and, if required, borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.
 
We intend to increase the weighted average age of our rental fleet, which is currently 33 months, to about 42 months in 2003, and eventually to 45 months. This plan reflects our belief that the optimum age of our fleet is

33


Table of Contents
higher than where it is today. In determining the optimum age of our fleet, we have taken into account a number of factors, including the relationship between age and reliability and maintenance costs and the capital expenditures required to maintain the fleet at a particular age.
 
While emphasizing internal growth, we may also continue to expand through a disciplined acquisition program. We will consider potential transactions of varying size and may, on a selective basis, pursue acquisition or consolidation opportunities involving other public companies or large privately-held companies. We expect to pay for future acquisitions using cash, capital stock, notes and/or assumption of indebtedness. To the extent that our existing sources of cash described above are not sufficient to fund such future acquisitions, we will require additional debt or equity financing and, consequently, our indebtedness may increase or the ownership of existing stockholders may be diluted as we implement our growth strategy.
 
Based on the scheduled maturities of our current indebtedness, we are required to make principal payments of approximately $243.6 million over the next 12 months. These principal payments are comprised primarily of amounts outstanding under the receivables securitization facility. As described below, the annual renewal of the facility requires the lender’s consent. If we do not obtain this consent, then the facility will terminate in June 2003 and we will repay the borrowings thereunder. We may also, at our option, make additional principal payments.
 
Information Concerning Operating Leases
 
From time to time we have entered into operating leases pursuant to which we lease, as lessee, equipment. Certain of these leases were entered into as part of sale and lease-back transactions. In the first nine months of 2002, we were the seller-lessee in sale-leaseback transactions with unrelated third parties in which we sold equipment for aggregate proceeds of $3.4 million and agreed to lease back the equipment for a minor period of up to eight months. The related gains recognized from these transactions were approximately $1.5 million.
 
Information Concerning Receivables Securitization
 
We have an accounts receivable securitization facility under which one of our subsidiaries can borrow up to $250 million against a collateral pool of accounts receivable. The borrowings under the facility and the receivables in the collateral pool are included in the liabilities and assets, respectively, reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. Key terms of this facility include:
 
 
 
borrowings may be made only to the extent that the face amount of the receivables in the collateral pool exceeds the outstanding loans by a specified amount;
 
 
 
the facility is structured so that the receivables in the collateral pool are the lender’s only source of repayment;
 
 
 
prior to expiration or early termination of the facility, amounts collected on the receivables may, subject to certain conditions, be retained by the borrower, provided that the remaining receivables in the collateral pool are sufficient to secure the then outstanding borrowings; and
 
 
 
after expiration or early termination of the facility, we will repay the borrowings.
 
As of September 30, 2002, (i) the outstanding borrowings under the facility were approximately $230.0 million and (ii) the aggregate face amount of the receivables in the collateral pool was approximately $375.9 million. The agreement governing this facility, which was amended in June 2001, contemplates that the term of the facility may extend for up to three years from the date of the amended facility. However, on each anniversary of such date, the consent of the lenders is required for the facility to renew for the next year. The next anniversary date is in June 2003. The lenders may, at their option, terminate the facility in the event that our long-term senior secured debt securities are at any time rated “B+” or below by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or “B1” or below by Moody’s Investor Service.

Information Concerning Trust Preferred Securities
 
In August 1998, a subsidiary trust of United Rentals, Inc. sold six million shares of 6 1/2% Convertible Quarterly Income Preferred Securities for aggregate consideration of $300 million. During 2002, we repurchased 335,000 of these shares (having an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $16.8 million) for aggregate consideration of approximately $11.5 million. The liquidation preference amounts in excess of the amounts paid for the repurchase of these shares were recognized as increases in additional paid-in capital. Our results of operations do not reflect any gain or loss from these transactions.
 
Information Concerning Certain Restricted Stock Awards
 
We have granted to employees other than executive officers and directors approximately 800,000 shares of restricted stock that contain the following provisions. The shares vest in 2004 or 2005 or earlier upon a change in control of the Company, death, disability, retirement or certain terminations of employment, and are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting on certain other terminations of employment, the violation of non-compete provisions and certain other events. The grants provide that we will pay to employees who vest in their restricted stock, and who sell their restricted stock within five trading days after vesting, a maximum aggregate amount for all these employees of approximately $300,000 for each dollar by which the per share proceeds of these sales are less than $27.26 but more than $15.17, and a maximum aggregate amount for all these employees of approximately $800,000 for each dollar by which the per share proceeds of these sales are less than $15.17.
 
Relationship Between Holdings and URI
 
United Rentals, Inc. (“Holdings”) is principally a holding company and primarily conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URI”) and subsidiaries of URI. Holdings provides certain services to URI in connection with its operations. These services principally include: (i) senior management services, (ii) finance related services and support, (iii) information technology systems and support and (iv) acquisition related services. In addition, Holdings leases certain equipment and real property that are made available for use by URI and its subsidiaries. URI has made, and expects to continue to make, certain payments to Holdings in respect of the services provided by Holdings to URI. The expenses relating to URI’s payments to Holdings are reflected on URI’s financial statements as selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, although not legally obligated to do so, URI has in the past, and expects that it will in the future, make distributions to Holdings to, among other things, enable Holdings to pay dividends on certain trust preferred securities that were issued by a subsidiary trust of Holdings in August 1998.
 
The trust preferred securities are the obligation of a subsidiary trust of Holdings and are not the obligation of URI. As a result, the dividends payable on these securities are reflected as an expense on the consolidated financial statements of Holdings, but are not reflected as an expense on the consolidated financial statements of URI. This is the principal reason why the net income reported on the consolidated financial statements of URI is higher than the net income reported on the consolidated financial statements of Holdings.
 
Seasonality
 
Our business is seasonal with demand for our rental equipment tending to be lower in the winter months. The seasonality of our business has been heightened by our acquisition of businesses that specialize in renting traffic control equipment. These businesses tend to generate most of their revenues and profits in the second and third quarters of the year, slow down during the fourth quarter and operate at a loss during the first quarter.
 
Inflation
 
Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our operations, we believe that inflation has not had, and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a material impact on our results of operations.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
We adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective January 1, 2002. This Standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” Under this Standard, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests on a reporting unit level. Other intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. For additional information, see “—Change in Accounting Treatment For Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This Standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of Long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”. This Standard rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt”, and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements”. This Standard also rescinds SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers”. This Standard amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”, to eliminate an inconsistency related to the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease modifications. This Standard also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Upon the adoption of this Standard, effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, we will be required to reclassify a pre-tax extraordinary loss of approximately $18.1 million recognized during the second quarter of 2001 to operating income. The adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. This Standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This Standard nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”. This Standard is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
 
Factors that May Influence Future Results and Results Anticipated by Forward-Looking Statements
 
Sensitivity to Changes in Construction and Industrial Activities
 
Our equipment is principally used in connection with construction and industrial activities. Consequently, decreases in construction or industrial activity due to a recession or other reasons may lead to a decrease in the demand for our equipment or the prices that we can charge. Any such decrease could adversely affect our revenues and operating results. For example, the slow-down in the economy has caused construction activity to significantly decrease in 2002 compared to 2001 and, as a result, our revenues, pricing and operating income were all down in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.
 
We have identified below certain factors that may cause a further downturn in construction and industrial activity, either temporarily or long-term:
 
 
 
a continuation or a worsening of the current recessionary environment;
 
 
 
an increase in interest rates; or
 
 
 
adverse weather conditions which may temporarily affect a particular region.

36


Table of Contents
 
In addition, demand for our equipment may not reach projected levels in the event that funding for highway and other construction projects under government programs, such as the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (“TEA-21”), does not reach expected levels. This could occur for, among other reasons, reductions in government spending due to fiscal or other constraints. Additionally, due to shortfalls in tax revenues, many states have delayed or reduced the amount of funding for infrastructure projects.
 
Fluctuations of Operating Results
 
We expect that our revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter or over the longer term due to a number of factors. These factors include:
 
 
 
seasonal rental patterns of our customers, with rental activity tending to be lower in the winter;
 
 
 
completion of acquisitions;
 
 
 
changes in the amount of revenue relating to renting traffic control equipment, since revenues from this equipment category tend to be more seasonal than the rest of our business;
 
 
 
changes in the size of our rental fleet or in the rate at which we sell our used equipment;
 
 
 
changes in demand for our equipment or the prices thereof due to changes in economic conditions, competition or other factors;
 
 
 
changes in the interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt;
 
 
 
if we determine that a potential acquisition will not be consummated, the need to charge against earnings any expenditures relating to such transaction (such as financing commitment fees, merger and acquisition advisory fees and professional fees) previously capitalized; and
 
 
 
the possible need, from time to time, to take other write-offs or special charges due to a variety of occurrences, such as the adoption of new accounting standards, impairment of goodwill, store consolidations or closings or the refinancing of existing indebtedness.
 
Substantial Indebtedness
 
At September 30, 2002, our total indebtedness was approximately $2,607.3 million. Our substantial indebtedness has the potential to affect us adversely in a number of ways. For example, it will or could:
 
 
 
require us to devote a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service, reducing the funds available for other purposes;
 
 
 
constrain our ability to obtain additional financing, particularly since substantially all of our assets are subject to security interests relating to existing indebtedness; or
 
 
 
make it difficult for us to cope with a downturn in our business or a decrease in our cash flow.
 
Furthermore, if we are unable to service our indebtedness and fund our business, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include:
 
 
 
reducing or delaying capital expenditures;
 
 
 
limiting our growth;
 
 
 
seeking additional capital;
 
 
 
selling assets; or
 
 
 
restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness.
 
We cannot be sure that any of these strategies could be effected on favorable terms or at all.

37


Table of Contents
 
A portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable rates that are linked to changing market interest rates. As a result, an increase in market interest rates would increase our interest expense and our debt service obligations. At September 30, 2002, we had $1,171.2 million of variable rate indebtedness.
 
Need to Satisfy Financial and Other Covenants in Debt Agreements
 
Under the agreements governing our credit facility and our term loan, we are required to, among other things, satisfy certain financial tests relating to: (a) minimum interest coverage ratio, (b) the ratio of funded debt to cash flow, (c) the ratio of senior debt to tangible assets and (d) the ratio of senior debt to cash flow. If we are unable to satisfy any of these covenants, the lenders could elect to terminate the credit facility and require us to repay the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and our term loan. In such event, unless we are able to refinance the indebtedness coming due and replace the revolving credit facility, we would likely not have sufficient liquidity for our business needs and be forced to adopt an alternative strategy as described above. We cannot be sure that any alternative strategy could be effected on favorable terms or at all.
 
We are also subject to various other covenants under the agreements governing our credit facility, term loan and other indebtedness. These covenants limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to incur indebtedness, make prepayments of certain indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, create liens, make acquisitions, sell assets and engage in mergers and acquisitions. These covenants could adversely affect our business by significantly limiting our operating and financial flexibility.
 
Dependence on Additional Capital
 
If the cash that we generate from our business, together with cash that we may borrow under our credit facility, is not sufficient to fund our capital requirements, we will require additional debt and/or equity financing. We cannot, however, be certain that any additional financing will be available or, if available, will be available on terms that are satisfactory to us. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional capital in the future, we may be unable to fund the capital outlays required for the success of our business, including those relating to purchasing equipment, making acquisitions, opening new rental locations and repaying or refinancing existing indebtedness.
 
Certain Risks Relating to Acquisitions
 
We have grown in part through acquisitions and may continue to do so. The making of acquisitions entails certain risks, including:
 
 
 
unrecorded liabilities of acquired companies that we fail to discover during our due diligence investigations;
 
 
 
difficulty in assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company with our existing operations;
 
 
 
loss of key employees of the acquired company; and
 
 
 
difficulty in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies.
 
We cannot guarantee that we will realize the expected benefits from our acquisitions or that our existing operations will not be harmed as a result of acquisitions.
 
Substantial Goodwill
 
At September 30, 2002, we had on our balance sheet net goodwill in the amount of $1,956.4 million, which represented approximately 38.3% of our total assets at such date. This goodwill is an intangible asset and represents the excess of the purchase price that we paid for acquired businesses over the estimated fair market

38


Table of Contents
value of the net assets of those businesses. We are required to periodically review our goodwill for impairment. In general, this means that we must determine whether the fair value of the goodwill, determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards, is at least equal to the recorded value shown on our balance sheet. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the recorded value, we are required to write off the excess goodwill and to treat this write-off as an expense. We are currently in the process of reviewing our goodwill for impairment and estimate that we will be required to write off $220 million to $270 million of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2002. For additional information, see “—Change in Accounting Treatment for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
 
Dependence on Management
 
Our success is highly dependent on the experience and skills of our senior management team. If we lose the services of any member of this team and are unable to find a suitable replacement, we may not have the depth of senior management resources required to efficiently manage our business and execute our strategy. We do not maintain “key man” life insurance on the lives of members of senior management.
 
Competition
 
The equipment rental industry is highly fragmented and competitive. Our competitors primarily include small, independent businesses with one or two rental locations, regional competitors which operate in one or more states, public companies or divisions of public companies, and equipment vendors and dealers who both sell and rent equipment directly to customers. We may in the future encounter increased competition from our existing competitors or from new companies. In addition, equipment manufacturers may commence or increase their existing efforts relating to renting and selling equipment directly to our customers or potential customers. Competitive pressures could adversely affect our revenues and operating results by decreasing our market share or depressing the prices that we can charge.
 
Dependence on Information Technology Systems
 
Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market conditions. Any disruptions in these systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market conditions.
 
Liability and Insurance
 
We are exposed to various possible claims relating to our business. These possible claims include those relating to (1) personal injury or death caused by equipment rented or sold by us, (2) motor vehicle accidents involving our delivery and service personnel and (3) employment related claims. We carry a broad range of insurance for the protection of our assets and operations. However, such insurance may not fully protect us for a number of reasons, including:
 
 
 
our coverage is subject to a deductible of $1.0 million and limited to a maximum of $98.0 million per occurrence;
 
 
 
we do not maintain coverage for environmental liability (other than legally required fuel storage tank coverage); and
 
 
 
certain types of claims, such as claims for punitive damages or for damages arising from intentional misconduct, which are often alleged in third party lawsuits, might not be covered by our insurance.
 
If we are found liable for any significant claims that are not covered by insurance, our operating results could be adversely affected. We cannot be certain that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, if at all.

Environmental and Safety Regulations
 
Our operations are subject to numerous laws governing environmental protection and occupational health and safety matters. These laws regulate such issues as wastewater, stormwater, solid and hazardous wastes and materials, and air quality. Under these laws, we may be liable for, among other things, (1) the costs of investigating and remediating contamination at our sites as well as sites to which we sent hazardous wastes for disposal or treatment regardless of fault and (2) fines and penalties for non-compliance. Our operations generally do not raise significant environmental risks, but we use hazardous materials to clean and maintain equipment, dispose of solid and hazardous waste and wastewater from equipment washing, and store and dispense petroleum products from underground and above-ground storage tanks located at certain of our locations.
 
Based on the conditions currently known to us, we do not believe that any pending or likely remediation and compliance costs will have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot be certain, however, as to the potential financial impact on our business if new adverse environmental conditions are discovered or environmental and safety requirements become more stringent. If we are required to incur environmental compliance or remediation costs that are not currently anticipated by us, our business could be adversely affected depending on the magnitude of the cost.
 
Labor Matters
 
We have approximately 1,100 employees that are represented by unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. If we should experience a prolonged labor dispute involving a significant number of our employees, our ability to serve our customers could be adversely affected. Furthermore, our labor costs could increase as a result of the settlement of actual or threatened labor disputes.
 
Operations Outside the United States
 
Our operations outside the United States are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations. These include (1) the need to convert currencies, which could result in a gain or loss depending on fluctuations in exchange rates, (2) the need to comply with foreign laws and (3) the possibility of political or economic instability in foreign countries.
 
Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risks relating to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates were reported in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. There has been no material change in these market risks since the end of the fiscal year 2001.
 
Item 4.     Controls and Procedures
 
(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
An evaluation has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). This evaluation took place as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report (“Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed and effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b)  Changes in Internal Controls.
 
Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
 
We and our subsidiaries are parties to various litigation matters involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to our business. Our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such pending litigation cannot be estimated with certainty but we believe, based on our examination of such matters, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

CERTIFICATIONS
 
I, Bradley S. Jacobs, certify that:
 
1.    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of United Rentals, Inc. and United Rentals (North America), Inc.;
 
2.    Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;
 
3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrants as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

UNITED RENTALS RECEIVABLES LLC II, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), UNITED RENTALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Collection Agent”), ATLANTIC ASSET SECURITIZATION CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Atlantic”), GRAMERCY CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Gramercy”), CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, NEW YORK BRANCH (“CSFB”), a branch of a banking corporation organized and existing under the laws of Switzerland, and CREDIT LYONNAIS NEW YORK BRANCH (“Credit Lyonnais”), a branch of a French banking corporation, as a Bank and as agent (the “Agent”) for the Investors and the Banks, agree as follows:
 
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
 
Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to this Agreement. References in the Exhibits to “the Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
 
The Seller, the Collection Agent, Atlantic and Credit Lyonnais are parties to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2000 (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of which, the Seller from time to time sold to Atlantic an undivided fractional ownership interest (referred to herein in as a “Receivable Interest”) in the Receivables which it acquired from United Receivables-I.
 
The parties hereto desire to amend the Original Agreement in order to, among other things, provide for the addition of Gramercy as an Issuer and CSFB as a Bank on the terms set forth herein.


 
ARTICLE I
 
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
 
SECTION 1.01.    Purchase Facility.
 
(a)  On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Issuers may, in their sole discretion, subject to Section 1.02(a), ratably in accordance with their respective Issuer Purchase Limits, and if and to the extent an Issuer does not make a purchase, the Related Banks for such Issuer shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Related Bank Commitments, purchase Receivable Interests from the Seller from time to time until the Facility Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall the Issuers make any such purchase, or the Banks be obligated to make any such purchase, if after giving effect to such purchase the aggregate outstanding Capital of Receivable Interests would exceed the Purchase Limit or if the aggregate outstanding Capital of Receivable Interests owned by an Issuer and its Related Banks would exceed the applicable Issuer Purchase Limit . The Agent shall act on behalf of each of the Issuers and each of the Banks in this regard by acquiring all of the Receivable Interests in the name of the Agent, as agent for the Investors and the Banks.
 
(b)  The Seller may, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Agent, terminate this purchase facility in whole or, from time to time, reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and each partial reduction shall if the Issuer Purchase Limit of one Issuer is greater than the Issuer Purchase Limit of another Issuer, reduce the greater Issuer Purchase Limit and Related Bank Commitments until the Issuer Purchase Limits are equal and then reduce ratably each Issuer Purchase Limit and each Related Bank Commitment. The Seller may, at any time, request an increase in the then current Issuer Purchase Limits and Related Bank Commitments by written notice to the Agent. Upon written approval of such increase by any Issuer, and receipt by such Issuer of any necessary ratings confirmation for the commercial paper of such Issuer, the Purchase Limit and the Issuer Purchase Limit of such Issuer shall be increased and the Related Bank Commitments of such Issuer’s Related Banks shall be increased.
 
(c)  Subject to the conditions described in Section 2(b) of Exhibit II to this Agreement, Collections attributable to Receivable Interests shall be automatically reinvested pursuant to Section 1.04(b)(ii) in additional Receivable

2


 
Interests or by making an appropriate readjustment of the Receivable Interest percentage.
 
SECTION 1.02.    Making Purchases.
 
(a)  Allocation among Parties.    Atlantic has purchased Receivable Interests under the Original Agreement with an aggregate outstanding Capital of $100,000,000. Gramercy or its Related Banks, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall make a purchase of Receivable Interests with an aggregate outstanding Capital of $100,000,000 on the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, if additional purchases are to be made, they shall be allocated among the parties ratably until each Issuer together with its Related Banks collectively have Capital outstanding of $100,000,000 and then shall be allocated to Gramercy and its Related Banks.
 
(b)  Purchase Request.    Each additional purchase of a Receivable Interest hereunder shall be made on at least one Business Day’s notice given no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) from the Seller to the Agent, the Issuers and the Related Banks. Each such notice of a purchase shall specify (i) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (which shall not be less than $2,000,000), (ii) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the desired duration of the initial Fixed Period for each such Receivable Interest. Each Issuer shall promptly thereafter notify the Seller, the Agent and its Related Banks whether such Issuer has determined to make a purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to such Issuer. If an Issuer has determined not to make a proposed purchase, the Seller shall promptly send notice to all of such Issuer’s Related Banks concurrently specifying the duration of the Fixed Period for the Receivable Interests being purchased. Each request for a purchase hereunder made by the Seller shall be irrevocable and binding on the Seller, and the Seller shall indemnify the Issuers and the Banks against any breakage expenses incurred by them as a result of any failure by the Seller to complete such purchase, including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired or requested to fund such purchase.
 
(c)  Payment for Purchases.    On the date of each such purchase of a Receivable Interest, the Issuers 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 the initial Capital of such Receivable Interest.

3


 
(d)  Sale of Interests.    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 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.
 
(e)  Limitations on Banks.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section at any time in an amount which would exceed such Bank’s unused Related Bank Commitment less such Bank’s Percentage of the outstanding and unpaid Capital of the Issuer to which it is related. 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 which is part of the same group of Related Banks shall (subject to the limitation in the preceding sentence) make available its pro rata portion of the funds required for such purchase.
 
(f)  Reinvestment Terminations and Purchases.    If an Issuer terminates its reinvestment of Collections in Receivable Interests prior to the Facility Termination Date, such Issuer’s Related Banks shall either, in its sole discretion, (i) purchase from such Issuer all Receivables Interests owned by such Issuer or (ii) on each date on which Collections are distributed to such Issuer pursuant to Section 1.04(b)(iii) hereof, purchase additional Receivable Interests from the Seller under this Section 1.02.
 
SECTION 1.03.    Receivable Interest Computation.
 
Each Receivable Interest shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day other than a Liquidation Day. Any Receivable Interest, as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, shall thereafter remain constant. Such Receivable Interest shall become zero when Capital thereof and Yield thereon shall have been paid in full, all other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent are paid in full and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon.

4


 
SECTION 1.04.    Settlement Procedures.
 
(a) Collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by a Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms of Article IV of this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Collection Agent (if other than United Rentals) on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Liquidation Day and current computations of each Receivable Interest.
 
(b) The Collection Agent shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received by it with respect to any Receivable Interest:
 
(i) set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest, out of the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, an amount equal to the Yield and Collection Agent Fee accrued through such day for such Receivable Interest and not previously set aside;
 
(ii) if such day is not a Liquidation Day, reinvest with the Seller, on behalf of the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest, the remainder of such percentage of Collections, to the extent representing a return of Capital, by recomputation of such Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 1.03;
 
(iii) if such day is a Liquidation Day, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate into a separate account into which no other funds are deposited) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest the entire remainder of such percentage of Collections; provided that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Liquidation Day and thereafter during such Settlement Period, the conditions set forth in paragraph 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or are waived by the Agent, such previously set aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return of Capital, be reinvested in accordance with the preceding clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions; and
 
(iv) during such times as amounts are required to be reinvested in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii), release to the Seller for its own account any Collections in excess of such amounts and the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i) above.

5


 
(c) The Collection Agent shall deposit into the Agent’s Account or such accounts as the Agent may designate, on the last day of each Settlement Period for a Receivable Interest, Collections held for the Investors or the Banks that relate to such Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 1.04(b).
 
(d) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Agent’s Account or such accounts as the Agent may designate, the Agent shall distribute them or direct the distribution as follows:
 
(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or the Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest in payment in full of all accrued Yield and then to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fees.
 
(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or the Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest in payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Yield, second to such Investors or Banks in reduction to zero of all Capital, third to such Investors or Banks or the Agent in payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder, and fourth to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fees.
 
After the Capital and Yield and Collection Agent Fee with respect to a Receivable Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to such Receivable Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.
 
(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.04:
 
(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any Dilution, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment;
 
(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in paragraph (h) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;

6


 
(iii) if and to the extent the Agent, the Investors or the Banks shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or to any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any proceeding of the type contemplated by paragraph (g) of Exhibit V) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller, and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof directly or indirectly to the Seller or one of its Affiliates, the Seller shall pay over such amount to the Agent, the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be.
 
(f) Except as provided in Section 1.04(e) (i) or (ii), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivables shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Receivables.
 
(g) The Seller shall forthwith deliver to the Collection Agent an amount equal to all Collections deemed received by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.04(e)(i) or (ii) above and the Collection Agent shall hold or distribute such Collections in accordance with Section 1.04(b). So long as the Seller shall hold any Collections or deemed Collections required to be paid to the Collection Agent or the Agent, it shall hold such Collections in trust and separate and apart from its own funds and shall clearly mark its records to reflect such trust.
 
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 average daily Capital of each Receivable Interest owned by each Investor or Bank, for the period from the date of purchase of such Receivable Interest until the later of the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest or the date on which such Capital is reduced to zero, payable on the last day of each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, the Collection Agent (if not the Seller or its designee or an Affiliate of the Seller) may elect to be paid, as such fee, a different percentage per annum on the average daily Capital of such Receivable Interest for such Settlement Period, but in no event in excess for all Receivable Interests of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables in the Receivables Pool. The

7


 
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 Agent and CSFB certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in each of their respective Fee Agreements.
 
SECTION 1.06.    Payments and Computations, Etc.
 
(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent hereunder to or for the account of the Agent, the Issuers or any other Investor or the Banks 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 Agent’s Account.
 
(b) Each of the Seller and the Collection Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable on demand.
 
(c) All computations of interest under clause (b) above and all computations of Yield, fees, and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
 
SECTION 1.07.    Dividing or Combining Receivable Interests.
 
The Agent or CSFB, on notice to the Seller on or prior to the last day of any Fixed Period, may either (i) divide any Receivable Interest with respect to a particular Issuer into two or more Receivable Interests having aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such divided Receivable Interest, or (ii) combine any two or more Receivable Interests with respect to a particular Issuer originating on such last day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day into a single Receivable Interest having Capital equal to the aggregate of the Capital of such Receivable Interests.
 
SECTION 1.08.    Increased Costs and Requirements of Law.
 
(a) If Credit Lyonnais, the Agent, any Investor, any Bank, any entity which enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests or interests

8


 
therein or any entity which provides liquidity or credit enhancement (each an “Affected Person”) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
 
(x) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or to lend against or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool Receivables or interests therein, hereunder or under any commitments to an Investor related to this Agreement or to the funding thereof or any related liquidity facility or credit enhancement facility (or any participation therein) and other commitments of the same type or
 
(y) increases the cost to an Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, Receivable Interests in respect of which the Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted),
 
then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall pay to the Agent within 30 days of the delivery of such demand, for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital or increased costs to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. Without limiting the Seller’s liability with respect to such increases in capital or costs, such Affected Person shall, if possible, use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate such increases in capital or costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(b) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application to an Affected Person of a requirement of law or change thereto by the relevant governmental authority after the date hereof or compliance by an Affected Person with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority after the date of this Agreement:

9


 
(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Yield, Collection Agent Fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the Fee Agreements (excluding franchise taxes imposed on such Affected Person by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or a political subdivision thereof and income taxes of any kind); or
 
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Alternate Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) hereunder;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Person of owning the Receivable Interests or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under the Fee Agreements then, upon demand by the Agent, the Seller shall pay to the Agent within 30 days of the delivery of such demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. Without limiting the Seller’s liability with respect to such increases in capital or costs, such Affected Person shall, if possible, use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate such increases in capital or costs.
 
SECTION 1.09.    Security Interest.
 
As collateral security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller (whether as Seller or otherwise) to be performed under this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Seller hereunder or thereunder, whether for indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise, the Seller hereby assigns to the Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, and hereby grants to the Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, 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:

10


 
(a) the SPV Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all rights of the Seller to receive moneys due or to become due under or pursuant to the SPV Purchase Agreement, (ii) all security interests and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of monies due or to become due under or pursuant to the SPV Purchase Agreement, (iii) all rights of the Seller to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to the SPV Purchase Agreement, (iv) claims of the Seller for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the SPV Purchase Agreement, and (v) the right of the Seller to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder,
 
(b) all Receivables, the Related Security with respect thereto and the Collections and all other assets, including, without limitation, accounts, chattel paper, instruments and general intangibles (as those terms are defined in the UCC) owned by the Seller and not otherwise purchased or scheduled to be purchased under this Agreement,
 
(c) the Lock-Box Accounts and Blocked Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing any of the foregoing and
 
(d) to the extent not included in the foregoing, all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
 
 
ARTICLE II
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS; EVENTS OF TERMINATION
 
SECTION 2.01.    Representations and Warranties; Covenants.
 
The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties, and hereby agrees to perform and observe the covenants, set forth in Exhibits III and IV, respectively, hereto.
 
SECTION 2.02.    Events of Termination.
 
If any of the Events of Termination set forth in Exhibit V hereto shall occur and be continuing, the Agent may, by notice to the Seller, take either or both of the following actions: (x) declare the Facility Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred) and (y) without limiting any right under this Agreement to replace the

11


 
Collection Agent, designate another Person to succeed United Rentals as the Collection Agent; 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 Exhibit V, the Facility Termination Date shall occur. Upon any such declaration or designation or upon any such automatic termination, the Investors, the Banks and the Agent shall have (a) the rights of the Seller as “Purchaser” under the SPV Purchase Agreement and (b) in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC of the appropriate jurisdiction or jurisdictions and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
 
SECTION 2.03.    Renewal of Agreement.
 
If the Seller wishes to request an extension of the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Facility Termination Date, the Seller shall deliver, to each Issuer and Bank at least 120 days prior to such date a notice requesting that they extend such date to the date specified in such notice. Each Issuer and its Related Banks, shall notify the Seller in writing, no later than 90 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date, whether, in its sole discretion, each Issuer and each Bank agrees to such an extension. If accepted by all Issuers and Banks, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the terms of the Fee Agreements through December 2003) shall be unchanged except that the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Facility Termination Date shall thereafter mean the date so specified in the Seller’s notice. If less than all Issuers and their Related Banks accept, then
 
(a) the extending Issuers and Related Banks may agree to increase their Issuer Purchase Limits and Related Bank Commitments, respectively, in the aggregate up to the then current Purchase Limit, and to purchase the outstanding Receivable Interests from the non-extending Issuers and their Related Banks prior to the then current Facility Termination Date or
 
(b) to the extent the extending Issuers and their Related Banks do not increase their Issuer Purchase Limits and Related Bank Commitments to an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Capital of all Receivable Interests, the Seller, with the approval of the the Agent, shall designate a Liquidation Day for all Receivable Interests; thereafter, when the outstanding Capital of all Receivable Interests has been reduced to the amount of the Issuer Purchase Limits for the

12


 
extending Issuers and their Related Banks and all conditions required for a purchase under Section 1.02 of this Agreement have been met,
 
(i) the extending Issuers or their Related Banks shall purchase additional Receivable Interests in an amount equal to the outstanding Capital of the non-extending Issuers and their Related Banks,
 
(ii) the Seller shall use the proceeds of such purchases simultaneously to pay down the outstanding Capital of the non-extending Issuers and their Related Banks and
 
(iii) the Purchase Limit shall be decreased to the amount of the Issuer Purchase Limits of the extending Issuers.
 
Upon payment in full of all amounts owing to such non-extending Issuers and their Related Banks, they shall no longer be parties to this Agreement except that the provisions noted in Section 6.12 shall continue to apply. It is anticipated that the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.03(b) will be completed prior to the then current Facility Termination Date. If they are not, and the non-extending Issuers and their Related Banks still have Capital of Receivable Interests outstanding, the Facility Termination Date shall occur as scheduled. If the transactions are completed prior to the current Facility Termination Date, the Facility Termination Date shall be extended to a date not more than 360 days from the date all such transactions are completed.
 
 
ARTICLE III
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
SECTION 3.01.    Indemnities by the Seller.
 
Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, the Investors, the Banks or any entity which provides liquidity or credit enhancement or any of their respective Affiliates or agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such

ARTICLE IV
 
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION OF POOL RECEIVABLES
 
SECTION 4.01.    Designation of Collection Agent.
 
The servicing, administration and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Collection Agent so designated hereunder from time to time. Until the Agent gives notice to the Seller of the designation of a new Collection Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, United Rentals is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. The Agent at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Termination may designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed United Rentals or any successor Collection Agent, if such Person shall consent and agree to the terms hereof. The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent of the Agent, subcontract with any other Person for the servicing, administration or collection of the Pool Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection Agent’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
SECTION 4.02.    Duties of Collection Agent.
 
(a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Seller and the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks hereby appoint the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 4.01, as agent to enforce their respective rights and interests in the Pool Receivables and the Related Security. In performing its duties as Collection Agent, the Collection Agent shall exercise the same care and apply the same policies as it would exercise and apply if it owned such Receivables and shall act in the best interests of the Seller, the Investors and the Banks.
 
(b) The Collection Agent shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described in Section 1.04 and shall perform the other obligations of the “Collection Agent” set forth in this Agreement.
 
(c) If no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, United Rentals, while it is the Collection Agent, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or

16


 
adjust the Outstanding Balance or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable as it deems appropriate to maximize Collections thereof.
 
(d) The Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Seller and each Investor and Bank, in accordance with their respective interests, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Pool Receivables.
 
(e) The Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables.
 
(f) The Collection Agent shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent, furnish to the Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Investors and the Banks pursuant to Section 1.04.
 
(g) On or before the tenth Business Day of each month, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent and CSFB a Monthly Report relating to the Receivable Interests outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding month. On or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day of each week, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent and CSFB an Interim Report as of the last Business Day of the previous week; provided, however that if and so long as the long-term senior secured debt securities of United Rentals are rated “BB” or below by Standard & Poor’s (or such rating is suspended or withdrawn), the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent and CSFB on a daily basis no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) an Interim Report as of the close of business on the previous Business Day.
 
SECTION 4.03.    Certain Rights of the Agent.
 
(a) The Agent is authorized at any time, (i) after and during the continuation of a downgrade of the long-term senior secured debt securities of United Rentals to “BB-” or below by Standard & Poor’s (or any such rating is suspended or withdrawn) or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Termination, to deliver to the Lock-Box Banks and Blocked Account Banks the Notice of Effectiveness provided for in the Lock-Box Agreements and Blocked Account Agreements. The Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, effective when the Agent delivers such Notice of Effectiveness, the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts and Blocked Accounts to which the Obligors of Pool Receivables shall make

17


 
payments. The Seller shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Agent to effect such transfer. All amounts in the Lock-Box Accounts and Blocked Accounts which represent Collections of Receivables may, in accordance with this Agreement, be deposited into the Agent’s Account, pro rata in accordance with outstanding Capital, as the Agent may determine.
 
(b) At any time following an Event of Termination or an Incipient Event of Termination:
 
(i) The Agent may direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables that all payments thereunder be made directly to the Agent or its designee.
 
(ii) At the Seller’s expense the Agent may, and at the request of the Agent the Seller shall, notify each Obligor of Pool Receivables of the ownership of Receivable Interests under this Agreement and direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee.
 
(iii) At the Agent’s request and at the Seller’s expense, the Seller and the Collection Agent shall (x) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) that evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables and the related Contracts and Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Agent at a place selected by the Agent or its designee, and (y) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or its designee.
 
SECTION 4.04.    Rights and Remedies.
 
(a) If the Collection Agent fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller (if the Collection Agent that fails to so perform is the Seller or its designee).
 
(b) The Seller shall and shall require the Originators to perform their respective obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if Receivable Interests had not been sold and the exercise by the Agent on behalf of the Investors and the Banks of their rights under this

18


 
Agreement shall not release the Collection Agent, the Originators or the Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts. Neither the Agent, the Investors nor the Banks shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller or the Originators thereunder.
 
(c) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article and Article VI of the SPV Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
 
SECTION 4.05.    Further Actions Evidencing Purchases.
 
(a) The Seller will, and will require that each of the Originators will, from time to time, at its own expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further actions that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivable Interests purchased hereunder, or to enable the Investors, the Banks or the Agent to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller or the Originators will, upon the request of the Agent
 
(i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such Receivable Interests; and
 
(ii) mark conspicuously (which marking may be done electronically) each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold.
 
(b) The Seller authorizes the Agent to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
 
(c) The Seller authorizes the Agent to take any and all steps in the Seller’s name and on behalf of the Seller that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect amounts due under the Pool Receivables,

19


 
including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Pool Receivables and enforcing the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
 
SECTION 4.06.    Covenants of the Collection Agent and the Seller.
 
(a) Audits. The Collection Agent and the Seller will, and will require that each of the Originators will, from time to time during regular business hours as requested by the Agent, permit the Agent,
 
(i) to conduct periodic audits of the Receivables, the Related Security and the related books and records and collections systems of the Collection Agent, the Seller and the Originators,
 
(ii) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in the possession or under the control of the Collection Agent, the Seller or the Originators relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security, including, without limitation, the Contracts, and
 
(iii) to visit the offices and properties of the Collection Agent, the Seller or the Originators for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (ii) above, and to discuss matters relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security or the Collection Agent’s performance hereunder with any of the officers or employees of the Collection Agent, the Seller or the Originators having knowledge of such matters.
 
Upon the Agent’s request (no more frequently than once every six months unless an Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred), the Seller will, at its expense, appoint independent public accountants (which may, with the consent of the Agent, be United Rentals’ regular independent public accountants), or utilize the Agent’s representatives or auditors, to prepare and deliver to the Agent a written report with respect to the 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 Agent.
 
(b) Change in Credit and Collection Policy. The Collection Agent will not make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy that would impair the collectibility of any Pool Receivable or the ability of United Rentals (if it is acting as Collection Agent) to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In the event that the Collection Agent makes any material change to the Credit and Collection

20


 
Policy, it shall, no later than three Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such change, provide the Agent with an updated Credit and Collection Policy and a summary of all material changes.
 
(c) Payment of Sales Taxes. The Collection Agent will, and will require in its agreement with the Originators that 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 Agent, provide the Agent with evidence of such payment.
 
SECTION 4.07.    Indemnities by the Collection Agent.
 
Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, any Investor, any Bank or any of their respective Affiliates or agents (each, a “Special Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, and in consideration of its appointment as Collection Agent, the Collection Agent hereby agrees to indemnify each Special Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Special Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following (excluding, however, (a) Special Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Special Indemnified Party, (b) recourse for uncollectible Receivables or (c) any income taxes or any other tax or fee measured by income incurred by such Special Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract):
 
(i) any representation or warranty or statement made by the Collection Agent under or in connection with this Agreement which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;
 
(ii) the failure by the Collection Agent to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or Contract, including payment of all unpaid sales, excise or other taxes when due;
 
(iii) any failure of the Collection Agent to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
 
(iv) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time by the Collection Agent with other funds;

(v) any action or omission by the Collection Agent not in compliance with its Credit and Collection Policy which has the effect of reducing or impairing the rights of the Investors or the Banks with respect to any Pool Receivable or the value of any Pool Receivable;
 
(vi) any claim brought by any Person other than a Special Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Collection Agent or its Affiliates in servicing, administering or collecting any Receivable; or
 
(vii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool as a result of the collection activities with respect to such Receivable by the Collection Agent.
 
SECTION 4.08.    Representations and Warranties of the Collection Agent.
 
The Collection Agent represents and warrants as follows:
 
(a) The Collection Agent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to so qualify would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Collection Agent’s ability to perform its duties or obligations with respect to the Receivables Pool.
 
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Collection Agent of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) are within the Collection Agent’s corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and (iii) do not contravene (1) the Collection Agent’s charter or by-laws, (2) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Collection Agent, (3) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Collection Agent or its property or (4) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting the Collection Agent or its property.

(e) If the Collection Agent is United Rentals or one of its Affiliates, each Monthly Report, Interim Report, information, exhibit, financial statement, document, book, record or report furnished or to be furnished at any time by or on behalf of United Rentals to the Agent, the Investors or the Banks in connection with this Agreement is correct in all material respects as of its date or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Agent, the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished, and no such document contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ii) Each Originator authorizes the Buyer or its assignee to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to the Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto without the signature of the Originator where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
 
(iii) Each Originator authorizes the Buyer or its assignee to take any and all steps in the Originator’s name and on behalf of the Originator that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Buyer, to collect amounts due under the Transferred Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Originator’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Transferred Receivables and enforcing the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security.
 
(l) Audits. Each Originator will, from time to time during regular business hours as requested by the Buyer or its assigns, permit the Buyer, or its agents, representatives or assigns
 
(i) to conduct periodic audits of the Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and the related books and records and collections systems of the Collection Agent (including any subcontractor) and the Originator;
 
(ii) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in the possession or under the control of the Collection Agent (including any subcontractor) or the Originator relating to Transferred Receivables and the Related Security, including, without limitation, the related Contracts and
 
(iii) to visit the offices and properties of the Collection Agent (including any subcontractor) or the Originator for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (ii) above, and to discuss matters relating to Transferred Receivables and the Related Security or the Originator’s performance hereunder or under the Contracts with any of the officers or

employees of the Collection Agent or Originator having knowledge of such matters.

(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.

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.

20

(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.

SECTION 6.02.00    Rights and Remedies.
 
(a) The Seller shall require that the Originators perform all of their 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 Seller and the exercise by the Purchaser of its rights hereunder shall not release the Seller or the Originators from any of their duties and obligations with respect to the Transferred Receivables. The Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall the Purchaser be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller or the Originators thereunder.

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) The Seller shall take such action requested by the Purchaser, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Purchaser 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 Seller’s computer software system to access and create such records.
 
(c) In recognition of the Seller’s need to have access to the records transferred to the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser hereby grants to United

then, and in any such event, the Purchaser may, by notice to the Seller, 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 Purchaser 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.

PARENT UNDERTAKING AGREEMENT
 
AGREEMENT, dated as of December 21, 2000, made by UNITED RENTALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), in favor of CREDIT LYONNAIS NEW YORK BRANCH (“Credit Lyonnais”), as agent (the “Agent”) for the Investors and the Banks.
 
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
 
(1)    Credit Lyonnais, individually and as the Agent, has entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2000 (such agreement, as it may hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Receivables Agreement,” the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) with UNITED RENTALS RECEIVABLES LLC II, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), ATLANTIC ASSET SECURITIZATION CORP., as Issuer, and the Parent as Collection Agent.
 
(2)    It is a condition precedent to the making of purchases of Receivable Interests by Atlantic and the Banks under the Receivables Agreement that the Parent, as indirect beneficial owner of one hundred percent of the outstanding shares of stock of the Seller, shall have executed and delivered this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce Atlantic and the Banks to make purchases under the Receivables Agreement, the Parent hereby agrees as follows:
 
SECTION    1.    Unconditional Undertaking.
 
(a)    The Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with and for the benefit of the Agent (and the parties for whom it acts as agent) to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by the Seller of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of the Seller to be performed or observed under the Receivables Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing under the Receivables Agreement, whether for deemed collections, indemnification payments, fees,


 
expenses or similar obligations (all of the foregoing being the “Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent (and the parties for whom it acts as agent) in enforcing any rights under this Agreement.
 
(b)    In the event that the Seller shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of the Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed under the Receivables Agreement, then the Parent will duly and punctually perform or observe, or cause to be duly and punctually performed or observed, such Obligations, and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of the Parent hereunder to perform or observe any Obligation (or to cause the same to be performed or observed) that the Agent shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to the Parent or to the Seller or their respective successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against the Parent or the Seller or their respective successors or assigns in respect thereof.
 
SECTION 2.    Obligation Absolute.
 
The Parent undertakes that the Obligations will be performed or paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Investors or Banks with respect thereto. The obligations of the Parent under this Agreement are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Parent to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Seller or whether the Seller is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Parent under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
 
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Receivables Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
 
(ii)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Receivables Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from additional purchases of Receivable Interests or otherwise;

2


 
(iii)    any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;
 
(iv)    any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Seller;
 
(v)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Seller; or
 
(vi)    any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Seller or a guarantor.
 
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent or any Investor or Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Seller or otherwise, all as though payment had not been made.
 
SECTION 3.     Waiver.
 
The Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that the Agent or any Investor or Bank protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Seller or any other person or entity or any collateral.
 
SECTION 4.    Subrogation.
 
The Parent hereby waives and releases all rights of subrogation against the Seller and its property and all rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from the Seller and its property, in each case in connection with this Agreement and any payments made hereunder, and regardless of whether such rights arise by operation of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise.
