Dated as of May 31, 2005
 
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. (“Atlantic”), a Delaware corporation, and LIBERTY STREET FUNDING CORP. (“Liberty”) (each of Atlantic and Liberty, a “Purchaser”, and together the “Purchasers”), CALYON NEW YORK BRANCH (“CALYON”), a branch of a French banking corporation, as a Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Investors and the Banks (as defined herein), as purchaser agent for Atlantic (the “Atlantic Purchaser Agent”), and THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA (“SCOTIA CAPITAL”), as a Bank and as purchaser agent for Liberty (the “Liberty Purchaser Agent” and together with the Atlantic Purchaser Agent, the “Purchaser Agents”), 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. All interest rate and yield determinations referenced herein shall be expressed as a decimal and rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage point.
 
The Seller has acquired, and may continue to acquire, Receivables and Related Security from the Originators, either by purchase or by contribution to the capital of the Seller, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller is prepared to sell undivided fractional ownership interests (referred to herein as “Receivable Interests”) in the Pool Receivables. The Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, purchase such Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables, and the Banks are prepared to purchase such Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables, in each case on the terms set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I  
 
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
 
SECTION 1.01.  Purchase Facility.
 
(a)  On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, and the Banks shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Bank Commitments, purchase Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables from the Seller from time to time during the period from the date hereof through the date immediately preceding the Facility Termination Date, in the case of the Purchasers, and through the date immediately preceding the Commitment Termination Date, in the case of the Banks. Under no circumstances shall the Purchasers 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 in the Pool Receivables would exceed the Purchase Limit or would exceed its ratable share of the Bank Commitment.
 

 
(b)  The Seller may, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, terminate this purchase facility in whole or, from time to time, reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase Limit ratably in accordance with each Bank’s Percentage; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000, and provided further that the Seller shall pay any related Broken Funding Cost, and provided further that no partial reduction shall reduce the Purchase Limit below $50,000,000.
 
(c)  Subject to the conditions described in Section 2(b) of Exhibit II to this Agreement, Collections attributable to Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables shall be automatically reinvested pursuant to Section 1.04(b)(ii) in additional undivided percentage interests in the Pool Receivables by making an appropriate readjustment of the applicable Receivable Interest percentages.
 
SECTION 1.02.  Making Purchases.
 
(a)  Each notice of purchase of a Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables shall be delivered by the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time), on the proposed date the purchase is to be made. Each such notice of a purchase shall be in the form of an irrevocable Purchase Request and shall specify (i) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller by each Purchaser (such amount, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate (inclusive of any amount being rolled over from a previous purchase), being referred to herein as the initial “Capital” of each Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables then being purchased), (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 in the Pool Receivables. Each Purchaser Agent shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of purchase) notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent whether the respective Purchaser has determined to make a purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to such Purchaser and the yield with respect to such purchase and the amount of interest that will be due for the related Settlement Period. If a Purchaser has determined not to make a proposed purchase, the respective Purchaser Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed purchase to all of the related Banks concurrently specifying the date of such purchase, each Bank’s Percentage multiplied by the aggregate amount of Capital of the Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables being purchased, the Assignee Rate for the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, and the duration of the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables (which shall be one day if the Seller has not selected another period). The Seller shall indemnify the Purchasers and the Banks against any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers and/or the Banks, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Seller to complete such transfer, including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers and/or the Banks by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by the Purchasers or the Banks (including, without limitation, funds obtained by issuing notes, obtaining deposits as loans from third parties and reemployment of funds) to fund such transfer.
 
(b)  On the date of each such purchase of a Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, the Purchaser or the Banks, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, make available to the Seller by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds, to the account designated by the Seller, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) an amount equal to such Purchaser’s or Bank’s ratable share (based on the applicable Bank’s Percentage) of the initial Capital of such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables.
 
2

 
(c)  Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 1.02 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Receivable Interests then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivable and Related Security.
 
(d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section 1.02 at any time in an amount that would exceed the Bank Commitment with respect to such Bank less such Bank’s Percentage of the outstanding and unpaid Capital of the Purchaser. Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, and if any Bank shall fail to make funds available, each remaining Bank shall (subject to the limitation in the preceding sentence) make available its pro rata portion of the funds required for such purchase.
 
SECTION 1.03.  Receivable Interest Computation.
 
Each Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed based upon the information provided in the most recently submitted Monthly Report) on each day other than a Liquidation Day; provided that if a more recently submitted Weekly Report or Daily Report reflects a smaller Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, the lowest number shall be used. Such Receivable Interest shall be 100% from and after the occurrence of a Termination Date until the event causing such Termination Date has been waived or cured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 and the Collection Agent hereunder to the Investors, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents and each Indemnified Party and each Affected Person are paid in full and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon.
 
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 Collection Agent shall direct each Obligor to direct all payments of Collections (other than ROA Collections) into a Lock-Box Account, and the Collection Agent shall deposit all ROA Collections (other than Special Branch Collections) into a Blocked Account within two Business Days of its receipt thereof. 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 in the Pool Receivables.
 
3

 
The Seller may request the extension of the Facility Termination Date for an additional three hundred and sixty four (364) days from time to time by providing the Purchaser Agents with a written request for such extension no fewer than forty-five (45) days, but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the Facility Termination Date then in effect. The related Purchaser Agent shall provide written notice to each other Purchaser Agent and the Seller on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day (the “Consent Date”) following the applicable Purchaser Agent’s actual receipt of such written request for extension of its desire to extend (any such Purchaser an “Extending Committed Purchaser”) or not to so extend (any such Purchaser a “Non-Extending Committed Purchaser”) such date.
 
If Purchasers holding less than 100% of the aggregate Commitment of all Commitments consent to such extension, then the Seller may elect by written notice to the Purchaser Agents either to:
 
(i)  continue this receivables financing facility for such additional period with an aggregate Commitment equal to the then effective aggregate Commitment less the Commitment of the Non-Extending Purchaser(s); or
 
(ii)  require any such Non-Extending Purchaser(s) to execute an assignment (a “Purchaser Assignment”) with respect to all of such Non-Extending Purchaser(s)’ Commitment and their other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Purchaser who consents thereto (in its sole discretion at such time) and shall assume such obligations upon its consent to assume such obligations; provided that (x) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, (y) such assignment shall be at the Seller’s cost and expense, and (z) the purchase price to be paid to such Non-Extending Purchaser shall be an amount equal to the Capital and accrued and unpaid Yield and fees and payments pursuant to the applicable Fee Agreement attributable to such Non-Extending Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such a transfer of a Non-Extending Purchaser’s interest pursuant to a Purchaser Assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Purchaser Agents (not to be unreasonably withheld).
 
(b)  The Collection Agent shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received or deemed received by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables:
 
(i)  set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, segregate such amount into a separate account into which no other funds are deposited) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, out of the percentage of such Collections attributable to such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, an amount equal to the Yield, all fees and payments due pursuant to each of the Fee Agreements, and the Collection Agent Fee accrued through such day for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables and not previously set aside;
 
4

 
(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 in the Pool Receivables, the remainder of such percentage of Collections, to the extent representing a return of Capital, by recomputation of such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables pursuant to Section 1.03;
 
(iii)  if such day is a Liquidation Day, set aside and hold in trust the entire remainder of such percentage of Collections for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables (and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, segregate such amount into a separate account into which no other funds are deposited); provided, however, that if the Liquidation Day resulted solely by reason of the non-satisfaction of the initial purchase conditions (as set forth in paragraph 1 of Exhibit II) and such conditions are subsequently satisfied or are waived by the Purchaser Agents and written notice is provided to the rating agencies rating the Commercial Paper, any amounts that have been set aside and held in trust pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be reinvested in accordance with the preceding clause (ii), provided that, the Events of Termination identified as paragraphs (g) and (i) of Exhibit V cannot be waived by the Purchaser Agents; 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.
 
(c)  The Collection Agent shall deposit ratably according to the amount then owed to each Investor or Bank into each Purchaser Agents’ Account (i) on the first Business Date of each month, commencing in July 2005, Collections held for the Investors or Banks pursuant to Sections 1.04(b)(i) and (iii) in respect of fees and payments under the Fee Agreements and (ii) on the last day of each Settlement Period for a Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, Collections held for the Investors or the Banks that relate to such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables pursuant to Section 1.04(b)(i) and (iii) (other than in respect of fees and payments owed under the Fee Agreements).
 
(d)  Upon receipt of funds deposited into its Purchaser Agent’s Account, the related Purchaser Agent shall distribute them 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 the Pool Receivables, pro rata, in payment in full of all accrued Yield, all fees and payments due pursuant to each of the Fee Agreements, and second to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued Collection Agent Fees; and
 
(ii)  if such distribution occurs on a Liquidation Day, first to the Collection Agent if the Collection Agent is not United Rentals or an Affiliate of United Rentals, second to the Investors or the Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, pro rata, in payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Yield and all fees and payments due pursuant to each of the Fee Agreements, third to such Investors or Banks, pro rata, in reduction to zero of all Capital, fourth to such Investors or Banks or the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents or any Indemnified Party or Affected Person, pro rata, in payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder, and fifth to the Collection Agent, if United Rentals or an Affiliate of United Rentals is the Collection Agent, in payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fees.
 
5

 
After the Capital and Yield and Collection Agent Fees with respect to a Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, and any other amounts payable by the Seller to the Investors, the Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser Agents hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables and any excess cash Collateral shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.
 
(e)  For the purposes of this Agreement:
 
(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) or (e) 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; and
 
(iii)  if and to the extent the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Investors or any Bank or any Indemnified Party or Affected Person 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, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Investors or the Banks, or the Indemnified Parties or the Affected Persons, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
 
(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 in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables.
 
(g)  The Seller shall forthwith deliver (i) 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 reinvest such Collections in accordance with Section 1.04(b), or (ii) if Collections are then being paid to the Administrative Agent or a Controlled Account directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Administrative Agent, the Seller shall forthwith cause such deemed Collections to be paid to the Administrative Agent or such Controlled Account. So long as the Seller shall hold any Collections or deemed Collections required to be paid to the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent, a Purchaser Agent, a Purchaser, a Bank, an Indemnified Party, or an Affected Person, it shall hold such Collections in trust and separate and apart from its own funds and shall clearly mark its records to reflect such trust.
 
6

 
(h)  Subject to Section 1.04(a) with respect to each Non-Extending Purchaser that has not agreed to transfer and assign its Commitment pursuant to Section 1.04(a) of this Agreement, the Collection Agent shall implement the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04(h) (a “Partial Liquidation”). On each Business Day prior to such Non-Extending Purchaser's Commitment being reduced to zero (provided that no Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing), the Collection Agent shall apply funds, out of the Collections represented by the Receivable Interest received and not previously applied, in the following manner:
 
(i)  set aside and hold in trust in the Collection Account, for the benefit of the Purchasers an amount equal to all Yield and fees and other payments owed under the Fee Agreements (based on the Receivable Interest at such time), in each case accrued through such day and not so previously set aside or paid. The Collection Agent shall thereafter pay to each Purchaser Agent on the last day of each Settlement Period for the Purchasers (ratably according to accrued Yield and fees other payments owed under the Fee Agreements ) the amount of such accrued and unpaid fees other payments owed under the Fee Agreements and Yield;
 
(ii)  pay to each applicable Purchaser Agent for the account of each Non-Extending Purchaser, if any, related to such Purchaser Agent (ratably based on the Bank Commitment of the Bank related to such Purchasers at such time), and, for the account of any related Purchasers solely to the extent necessary to reduce such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Limit to an amount that is equal to or lesser than the amount of any available Bank Commitment of any remaining Banks related to such Purchaser at such time, from such Collections remaining after application pursuant to clause (i) above, the amount of such Non-Extending Purchaser's Commitment; provided that solely for purposes of determining such Non-Extending Purchaser's ratable share of such Collections, such Bank Commitment shall be deemed to remain constant from the date such Purchaser becomes a Non-Extending Purchaser until the date such Non-Extending Purchaser's Commitment has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day or a day on which an Event of Termination has occurred, the Bank Commitment of the Bank related to such Purchaser shall be recalculated at such time (taking into account amounts received by or on behalf of such Purchaser in respect of its Capital pursuant to this clause (ii)), and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for payment to all Purchasers (ratably according to the Bank Commitment of the Bank related to such Purchaser) pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and
 
(iii)  reinvest the balance of such Collections in respect of Capital to the acquisition of additional undivided percentage interests pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof.
 
7

 
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 Outstanding Balance 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 in arrears on the first day of each calendar month following each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents, the Collection Agent (if not United Rentals) may elect to be paid, as such fee, a different percentage per annum on the average daily Outstanding Balance of such Receivable Interest for such Settlement Period, but in no event in excess for all Receivable Interests relating to a single Receivables Pool of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables in such Receivables Pool. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 1.04.
 
(b)  The Seller agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Fee Agreement with each of the Purchaser Agents, as applicable.
 
SECTION 1.06.  Payments and Computations, Etc.
 
(a)  All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent, including all Broken Funding Costs, hereunder to or for the account of the Purchaser Agents, a Purchaser or any other Investor or Bank shall be paid or deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable Purchaser Agent’s Account.
 
(b)  The Seller and Collection Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or Collection Agent, as applicable (whether as Collection Agent or otherwise), when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable upon the demand of the related Purchaser Agent.
 
(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 (or 365 or 366 days, as applicable, if computed with reference to the Alternate Base Rate) 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.
 
A Purchaser Agent, on written notice to the Seller on or prior to the last day of any Fixed Period, may either (i) divide any Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables 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 in the Pool Receivables originating on such last day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day into a single Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables having Capital equal to the aggregate of the Capital of such Receivable Interests.
 
8

 
SECTION 1.08.  Increased Costs and Requirements of Law.
 
(a)  If the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, any Investor, any Bank, any entity that enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables or interests therein or any entity that provides liquidity or credit enhancement or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably 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):
 
(i)  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
 
(ii)  increases the cost to an Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables in respect of which the Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted);
 
(b)  then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the related Purchaser Agent), the Seller shall pay to the related Purchaser 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 related Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(c)  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:
 
(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 Agreement (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
