The applicant identified above ("Applicant") hereby enters into this Credit Application and Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with United Rentals (North America), Inc. ("UR"). Applicant hereby applies to UR for credit, specifically consents to UR investigating Applicant's credit history and obtaining credit reports, and authorizes the release of Applicant's bank account information. If credit is extended, Applicant acknowledges that UR requires payment upon receipt of the invoice. Invoices are considered past due after the date of such invoice. If Applicant fails to timely pay an invoice, Applicant agrees to pay a service charge to UR on such delinquent invoice(s) until fully paid, at the maximum rate allowed by the laws and jurisdiction of the originating location stated on the invoice, and also agrees to pay UR collection costs and/or attorney's fees in an amount that is not less than 25% of the outstanding balance owed. At the discretion of UR, any account with a delinquent balance may be placed on a cash basis at any time, and UR may pick up the equipment without notice to Applicant. Additionally, UR reserves the right to pursue remedies available to it at law or in equity. By signing below, Applicant agrees to be bound by the Online Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions https://www.unitedrentals.com/legal/, as amended from time to time (collectively the "Rental Agreement"). A copy of the Rental Agreement is available upon request. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, indemnification and limitation of liability provisions that may affect Applicant's liability. Applicant acknowledges that the Rental Agreement terms and conditions may change over time and agrees to be bound by such terms and conditions in use at the time of each rental or sales transaction in the jurisdiction where the purchase or rental occurs. Effective February 2, 2024 where permitted by law, United Rentals may impose a surcharge of 2.0% for credit card payments on charge accounts. This surcharge is not greater than our merchant discount rate for credit card transactions and is subject to sales tax in some jurisdictions.
The parties hereby agree that for so long as this Credit Agreement is in place, Applicant is not required to sign the Rental Agreement provided that Applicant signs a form provided by UR for the sole purpose of acknowledging receipt of the equipment, safety notices and operations manuals. The parties further agree that any purchase order, scope of work, work order, agreement, or similar document issued by Applicant shall be signed by UR for Applicant's record keeping purposes only. Any terms contained therein, other than amount and types of equipment ordered, time and place for delivery, price, and estimated Rental Period, shall be superseded and replaced by the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement.
UR reserves the right to file preliminary lien notices and/or mechanics liens for work done in states where these notices are required by state law in order to protect our lien rights.
The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has, in good faith, exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with the law concerning this creditor is the Federal Trade Commission, Division of Credit Practices, 6TH and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20580.
In consideration of the extension of credit to above listed applicant, the undersigned, jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay all amounts now owing or which may hereinafter become owing by the Applicant to United Rentals ("UR"). It is understood and agreed that this is a continuing guaranty and UR shall not be obligated to notify the undersigned of the dates or amounts of any such credit, that the undersigned waives demand and notice of default and agrees that any extension of time or other forbearance, which may be granted by UR shall not affect or alter UR's rights under this guaranty.

This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the undersigned further waives any right to require that any action be brought against the Applicant or other person or to require that resort be had to any security.
