EXHIBIT 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of September 17, 2015 (the “Employment
Agreement”), by and between BakerCorp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and Les Fry (the “Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive as Senior Vice President,
Sales & Marketing of the Company and wishes to acquire and be assured of his
services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to be employed by the Company as Senior Vice
President, Sales & Marketing of the Company and to perform and to serve the
Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and
other valid consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
Section 1.Employment.

1.1Term. Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to employ the
Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, in each case
pursuant to this Employment Agreement, for a period commencing on October 12,
2015 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Effective
Date (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that the period of the Executive’s
employment pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall be automatically extended
for successive one-year periods thereafter (each, a “Renewal Term”), in each
case unless either party hereto provides the other party hereto with written
notice that such period shall not be so extended at least 30 days in advance of
the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as
applicable (the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, collectively, the “Term”).
Each additional one-year Renewal Term shall be added to the end of the next
scheduled expiration date of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, as
of the first day after the last date on which notice may be given pursuant to
the preceding sentence. The Executive’s period of employment pursuant to this
Employment Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Employment
Period.”

1.2Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the
Company’s Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing and such other positions as
an officer or director of the Company and such affiliates of the Company as the
Executive and the board of directors (the “Board”) of BakerCorp International
Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) shall mutually agree from time to time, and shall have
the customary duties associated with such positions. The Executive shall report
directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The principal place of
employment, and principal office, shall be the Executive’s home in Lexington,
Kentucky, although Executive acknowledges that a core function of his duties
will require him to spend the majority of his working time traveling on Company
business (e.g., visiting Company branch locations, corporate headquarters in
Plano, Texas and customer locations).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.3Exclusivity. During the Employment Period, the Executive will devote
substantially all of the Executive’s business time, attention and energies to
the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder. Consistent with the
foregoing obligation, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall not
without the prior written consent of the Board, which the Board may grant or
withhold in its sole discretion: (i) accept any other employment; (ii) serve on
the board of directors or similar body of any other business entity; or (iii)
engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not
pursued for pecuniary advantage) that, solely in the case of clause (iii), is or
may be competitive with, or that might place Executive in a competing position
to that of, the Company Group (as hereinafter defined). The term “Company Group”
means individually and collectively Parent and each of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from (x) serving on the
boards of directors of non-profit organizations, (y) participating in
charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs and
(z) managing the Executive’s passive personal investments so long as such
activities in the aggregate do not interfere or conflict with the Executive’s
duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict.

1.4Payment of Taxes. To the extent that any taxes become payable by the
Executive by virtue of any payments made to, or benefits conferred upon, the
Executive by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to pay or obligated to
reimburse the Executive for any such taxes or to make any adjustment under this
Employment Agreement except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, and any
payments otherwise due under this Employment Agreement to the Executive shall be
reduced by any required withholding for federal, state and/or local taxes and
other appropriate payroll deductions.

Section 2.Compensation.

2.1Salary. As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services
hereunder, during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive
a salary at an annual rate of $275,000.00, payable in accordance with the
Company’s standard payroll policies (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be
reviewed annually and may be adjusted upward (but not downward) by the Board (or
a committee thereof) in its sole discretion.

2.2Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year of the Company ending during the
Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible for a potential award of
additional compensation (the “Annual Bonus”) to be based upon such objectively
determinable Company performance criteria for each such fiscal year as
determined by the Board in the best interests of the Company (the “Performance
Goals”). The Executive’s target Annual Bonus opportunity for each fiscal year
that ends during the Employment Period shall equal 75% of the Base Salary (the
“Target Annual Bonus Opportunity”) (which shall be pro-rated for any fiscal year
not falling entirely within the Employment Period). The amount paid will depend
on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or exceeded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first fiscal year that the Executive is
employed (FY2016), the Executive’s minimum Annual Bonus shall be $50,000.00
regardless of whether the Performance Goals are attained. The Annual Bonus shall
be paid within two and one-half months after the end of the Company’s fiscal
year, subject to the Executive’s continued employment through the date of
payment (including with respect to any minimum bonus for FY2016), except to the
extent expressly provided herein. The Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash.

2.3Initial Stock Option Grant. As soon as reasonably practicable following the
Effective Date, Parent shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase shares
of common stock of Parent, pursuant to an option agreement between Parent and
the Executive, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The
foregoing grant shall be subject to the Board’s approval.

2.4Employee Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
eligible to participate in such health and other group insurance and other
employee benefit plans and programs of the Company as in effect from time to
time on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company.

2.5Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to
four weeks vacation per fiscal year in accordance with the Company’s policy on
accrual and use applicable to employees

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as in effect from time to time. The number of vacation days is prorated for the
first and last fiscal years of employment, and shall be determined by
multiplying 20 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the
Executive is employed by the Company during the applicable year and the
denominator of which is 365.

2.6Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive, upon
presentation of documentation, for all commercially reasonable business
out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs during the Employment Period in
performing his duties under this Employment Agreement provided that all such
expenses are in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company
as approved by the Board (or a committee thereof) and in effect from time to
time.

Section 3.Employment Termination.

3.1Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s
employment hereunder for any reason during the Term, and the Executive may
voluntarily terminate his employment hereunder for any reason during the Term,
in each case (other than upon a termination by the Company for Cause, as defined
below) at any time upon not less than 30 days’ notice to the other party (the
date on which the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason is herein
referred to as the “Termination Date”). Upon the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to
(i) payment of any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the Termination Date,
(ii) any vested benefits to the extent provided under the applicable terms of
applicable Company arrangements and (iii) any unreimbursed expenses in
accordance with Section 2.6 hereof (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). It is
specifically understood and agreed by the parties to this Employment Agreement
that the Company’s obligations under this Section 3 constitute good and valuable
consideration for the covenants made by the Executive in favor of the Company
under this Employment Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4
hereof.
3.2Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is
terminated due to the Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below), in
addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Company shall pay to the Executive or the
Executive’s estate, as applicable, a pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year of
termination, equal to the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus Opportunity,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the
Executive is employed by the Company during the applicable fiscal year prior to
and including the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365 (the
“Pro-Rata Bonus”). The Pro-Rata Bonus shall be paid within 30 days following the
Termination Date.

3.3Termination by the Company other than for Cause, Death or Disability;
Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is
terminated (i) by the Executive by Voluntary Resignation for Good Reason, each
as defined below (provided that the Executive has complied with the Notice of
Resignation requirement set forth in Section 5.7 hereof) or (ii) by the Company
without Cause (which shall include a Company non-renewal of this Employment
Agreement in accordance with Section 1 hereof, provided, that, the Executive has
continued employment to the end of the Term and resigns within ten days
following the end of the Term), in addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Company
shall pay to the Executive (A) a Pro-Rata Bonus and (B) an amount per month
equal to one-twelfth of the Executive’s Base Salary for the 12-month period
following the Termination Date (the “Severance Benefits Period”); provided,
that, if such termination occurs within the one-year period following a Change
in Control (as defined below), in lieu of the Base Salary continuation described
in this clause (B), the Executive shall be entitled to such amount in a lump sum
(the “Severance Amount”). The Executive and the Executive’s dependents shall
also be entitled to health benefits (including medical, dental and vision
benefits) under the Company’s benefit plans for the Severance Benefits Period,
subject to earlier termination of such benefits if the Executive ceases to be
eligible for continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”) on similar terms and conditions
applicable to the Executive immediately prior to the Termination Date; provided,
that, such continuation coverage shall be paid for by the Executive as to the
employee paid portion of the premium and by the Company as to the Company paid
portion of the premium, as in effect for similarly situated employees under the
Company’s benefit plans for active employees as of the Termination Date.
Executive shall only be entitled to reimbursement for the costs of such
continuation coverage as provided herein, if the Executive was participating in
the Company’s benefit plans for active employees immediately prior to the
Termination Date. The Executive shall be fully liable for the “employee paid”
portion of any applicable premium (as are similarly situated active employees)
under the benefit plans for which Executive has elected COBRA coverage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company paid portion of any applicable premium under the benefits plans for
which Executive has elected COBRA coverage shall be paid in a lump sum payment
by the Company to the Executive within the 30-day period following the
Termination Date, shall be taxable income to the Executive and shall equal the
Company paid portion of such applicable premiums for the entire Severance
Benefits Period, regardless of any subsequent early termination of the
Executive’s COBRA coverage. The Executive shall then be solely responsible for
enrolling in and paying for such COBRA coverage. The period of such continued
coverage shall be credited against the Company’s obligation to permit the
Executive to elect continuation coverage under Section 601 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and any similar state law,
under COBRA, and any similar state law (the “Continued Medical Benefits”). The
Company’s obligations under this Section 3.3 are collectively referred to as the
“Severance Benefits.” Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, and
without limitation of any remedies to which the Company may be entitled, (i) the
Severance Amount shall be paid, or commence to be paid, as applicable, within
the 30-day period following the Termination Date, provided, that, the Executive
signs and delivers to the Company the release attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Release”) and the period (if any) during which the Release can be revoked
expires within such 30-day period; provided, further, that, if such 30-day
period spans two calendar years, payment of the Severance Amount shall be paid,
or commence to be paid, as applicable, in the second calendar year. The
Executive specifically acknowledges that the Executive’s entering into this
Employment Agreement and payment by the Company of the Severance Benefits
constitutes good and valuable and otherwise sufficient consideration for the
Executive’s execution and delivery of the Release.

3.4Voluntary Resignation other than for Good Reason; Termination by the Company
for Cause. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (i) by
the Executive by Voluntary Resignation other than for Good Reason or (ii) by the
Company for Cause, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Amounts.

3.5No Mitigation or Set-Off. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to
seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the
amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Employment
Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any
compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment or other service
by a subsequent employer or service recipient. The Company’s obligations to pay
the Executive amounts hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or
recoupment of amounts owed by the Executive to the Company or any of its
affiliates.

Section 4.Restrictive Covenants.

4.1Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.

(a)“Confidential Information” means proprietary and confidential information
regarding the Company Group that is not generally available to the public,
including (to the extent that it is not so generally available): (1) information
regarding the Company Group’s business, operations, financial condition,
customers, vendors, sales representatives and other employees; (2) projections,
budgets and business plans regarding the Company Group; (3) information
regarding the Company Group’s planned or pending acquisitions, divestitures or
other business combinations; (4) the Company Group’s trade secrets and
proprietary information; and (5) the Company Group’s technical information,
discoveries, inventions, improvements, techniques, processes, business methods,
equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents and
formulae. For purposes of the preceding sentence, information is not treated as
being generally available to the public if it is made public by the Executive in
violation of this Employment Agreement.

(b)During the Term and at all times thereafter, (i) the Executive must maintain
all Confidential Information in confidence and must not disclose any
Confidential Information to anyone outside of the Company Group; and (ii) the
Executive must not use any Confidential Information for the benefit of the
Executive or any third party. Nothing in this Employment Agreement, however,
prohibits the Executive from: (1) disclosing any information (or taking any
other action) in furtherance of the Executive’s duties to the Company Group
while employed by the Company Group; or (2) disclosing Confidential Information
to the extent required by law (after giving prompt notice to the Company in
order that the Company Group may attempt to obtain a protective order or other
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information). Upon
the Company’s request

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at any time, and upon the Termination Date, the Executive must immediately
deliver to the Company Group all tangible items in the Executive’s possession or
control that are or that contain Confidential Information, without keeping any
copies.

(c)The covenants of the Executive under this Section 4.1 are in addition to, and
are not intended to limit in any way, the Executive’s duties and obligations to
the Company Group under any applicable statutory, civil or common law not to
disclose or make personal use of Confidential Information or trade secrets.

4.2Non Solicitation, No-Hire and Non-Disparagement:

(a)For the period beginning on the date of this Employment Agreement and ending
two years after the Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive
covenants and agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as an
officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor,
consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity, (i) solicit any
Persons (as such term is defined below) who are, or within the one-year period
immediately preceding the Termination Date were, customers of the Company Group,
to purchase other than from the Company Group any goods or services sold or
provided by the Company Group in relation to the Business (as such term is
defined below) or (ii) take any action to discourage any Persons who are, or
within the one-year period immediately preceding the Termination Date were,
suppliers of the Company Group, from doing business with the Company Group.

(b)In addition, the Executive covenants and agrees that during the Restricted
Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer,
director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint
venturer, investor or in any other capacity, hire or solicit to perform services
(as an employee, consultant or otherwise) or take any actions which are intended
to persuade any termination of association with the Company Group (as
applicable) any Persons who are, or within the six-month period immediately
preceding the solicitation were, employed by the Company Group at the level of a
manager, director (e.g., sales and marketing, business development),
vice-president, president or any level more senior than any such level,
provided, however, that (A) solicitation or hiring by the Executive of an
immediate family member of such Executive shall not constitute a violation of
this Section 4.2, and (B) general solicitations of employment published in a
journal, newspaper or other publication of general circulation or listed on any
internet job site and not specifically directed towards such employees shall not
be deemed to constitute solicitation for purposes of this Section 4.2 and the
hiring of any person as a result of such permitted solicitations shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 4.2.

(c)The Executive also hereby covenants and agrees that the Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, make (or cause to be made) to any Person any knowingly
disparaging, derogatory or other negative statement about the Company Group or
any of their officers, directors or employees. The Company covenants and agrees
that the directors and senior officers of the Company shall not, directly or
indirectly, while employed by the Company Group or serving as a director of any
member of the Company Group, as the case may be, make (or cause to be made) to
any person or entity any knowingly disparaging, derogatory or other negative
statement about the Executive. The foregoing shall not be violated by (i)
truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental
testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including,
without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings), or (ii)
statements that the Executive or the senior officers or directors of the Company
in good faith believe are necessary or appropriate to make in connection with
their good faith performance of their duties to the Company Group.

4.3Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Executive specifically acknowledges and
agrees that the time, geographic and activity restrictions (as applicable) set
forth in Section 4 of this Employment Agreement are reasonable and properly
required for the protection of the Company Group. The Executive further agrees
that these restrictions shall be given the construction which renders their
provisions enforceable to the maximum extent (but not in excess of their express
terms) possible under applicable law. If, however, a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any of the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable or otherwise not enforceable, the parties agree to the reduction of
such unenforceable restriction to the maximum time, geographic and activity
restriction (as applicable) as such court deems reasonable and otherwise
enforceable under the circumstances then

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

existing. Also, if the Company Group seeks partial enforcement of those Sections
as to only time, geographic and activity restrictions which are deemed
reasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company Group shall be
entitled to such partial enforcement. If such agreement of reduction or right of
partial enforcement is not enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction, then
the unenforceable provisions shall be severed in accordance with Section 6.5.
The Executive recognizes that any breach of Section 4 will cause irreparable
injury to the Company Group and that the actual damages may be difficult to
ascertain, and the Executive agrees that money damages may not be an adequate
remedy for breach of any such Sections. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of any such Sections by the Executive, the Company Group, or
their respective successors and assigns may, in addition to other rights and
remedies existing in their favor, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or
prevent any breach of, the provisions hereof without the requirement to post
bond. In addition, in the event of a breach by the Executive of such Sections,
the covenant period with respect to the Executive and such breached restriction,
shall be tolled until such breach is stopped.

4.4Other Obligations. Without implication that the contrary would otherwise be
true, the Executive’s obligations under Section 4 of this Employment Agreement
are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other obligations that the
Executive may have under contract, applicable law or otherwise.

event that the Board believes that Cause may exist, it shall provide the
Executive with the opportunity to promptly (and in any event, not later than the

Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that

the fact that the Executive is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or any of its affiliates. In addition, a directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policy (or policies) shall be kept in place, during the
Employment Period and thereafter for the duration of any period in which a
civil, equitable, criminal or administrative proceeding may be brought against
the Executive, providing coverage to the Executive that is no less favorable to
the Executive in any respect (including with respect to scope, exclusions,
amounts, and deductibles) than the coverage then being provided with respect to
periods after the Effective Date to any other present senior executive or
director of the Company.

6.2Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Employment Agreement and the
rights and duties hereunder are personal to the parties hereto and shall not be
assigned, delegated, transferred, pledged or sold by either party hereto without
the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may assign this Employment Agreement to any successor to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, provided that
the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Employment Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place. As used in this Employment Agreement,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Company” shall mean the Company and any successor to its business and/or
assets, which assumes this Employment Agreement by operation of law or otherwise
assumes this Employment Agreement and agrees to perform the duties and
obligations of the Company hereunder. Nothing in this Employment Agreement shall
confer upon any Person not a party to this Employment Agreement, or the legal
representatives of such Person, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind
whatsoever under or by reason of this Employment Agreement, except that the
personal representative of the deceased Executive may enforce the provisions
hereof applicable in the event of the death of the Executive.

6.3Complete Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. When signed by the Executive,
this Employment Agreement sets forth the terms of the Executive’s employment by
the Company, certain severance benefits to the Executive and the restrictive
covenants made by the Executive in consideration thereof and the other terms
hereof, and supersedes any and all prior representations and agreements, whether
written or oral regarding the subject matter hereof (unless otherwise explicitly
provided in this Employment Agreement). This Employment Agreement can be amended
only in a writing signed by the parties hereto; provided, that, the observance
of any provision of the Employment Agreement may be waived in writing by the
party that will lose the benefit as a result of the waiver. The waiver by any
party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Employment Agreement shall not
operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach, except as otherwise explicitly
provided for in such waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at
law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

6.4Notice. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands,
claims and other communications provided for under the terms of this Employment
Agreement shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim or other
communication hereunder shall be sent by (i) personal delivery (including
receipted courier service) or overnight delivery service, with confirmation of
receipt (ii) facsimile during normal business hours, with confirmation of
receipt, to the number indicated, (iii) reputable commercial overnight delivery

of this Employment Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law but the invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision or portion of any provision of this Employment Agreement in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of
this Employment Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability
of this Employment Agreement, including that provision or portion of any
provision, in any other jurisdiction. In addition, should a court or arbitrator
determine that any provision or portion of any provision of this Employment
Agreement, including those contained in Section 4 hereof, is not reasonable or
valid, either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties
hereto agree that such provision should be interpreted and enforced to the
maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable or valid.

6.6Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Employment Agreement is governed by
the internal laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice
of law rules that would require the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of any state or federal court within the state of Delaware with respect to any
cause or claim arising under or relating to this Employment Agreement. Each
party irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail or
personal service. Nothing in this Section 6.6 however, affects any person’s
right (1) to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law or
(2) to enforce or collect any judgment, order or injunction in any court or
jurisdiction.

6.7Binding Effect. This Employment Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding on, the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including,
without limitation, the Executive’s heirs and the personal representatives of
the Executive’s estate and any successor to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company.

6.8No Strict Construction; Convenience of Headings. The language used in this
Employment Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties
hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of construction shall be
applied to this Employment Agreement to the effect that it should be construed
strictly against any party hereto. The headings contained in this Employment
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning
or interpretation of this Employment Agreement.

6.9Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, this Employment Agreement
shall be interpreted, construed and operated in accordance with Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations and other
guidance issued thereunder. If on the date of the Executive’s separation from
service (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the
Company, the Executive is a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A of
the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i)), no payment constituting the
“deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(b) and after application of the exemptions provided in Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) shall be made to the
Executive at any time during the six-month period following the Executive’s
separation from service, and any such amounts deferred such six months shall
instead be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll payment date following
expiration of such six-month period. For purposes of conforming this Employment
Agreement to Section 409A, the parties agree that any reference to termination
of employment, severance from employment, resignation from employment or similar
terms shall mean and be interpreted as a “separation from service” as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Each payment of severance under this
Employment Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of
Section 409A. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any
expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this
Employment Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of
any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind
benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any lifetime or other
aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any
expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the
calendar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

year in which the Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any
right to reimbursement or the or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

6.10Executive’s Acknowledgement. The Executive acknowledges (i) that the
Executive has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with
independent counsel of his own choice concerning this Employment Agreement and
has been advised to do so by the Company, and (ii) that the Executive has read
and understands this Employment Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect,
and has entered into it freely, based on the Executive’s own judgment.

6.11Counterparts. A facsimile copy of this Employment Agreement (or a
counterpart thereof) shall be treated as an original. This Employment Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, a complete set of which shall be treated as a

This General Release (this “Release”) is made and entered into by and between
Les Fry (“Executive”) and BakerCorp (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, Executive has terminated employment with the Company on _________;
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement dated
September 17, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”) (capitalized terms not otherwise
defined in this Release shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the
Employment Agreement);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements set forth below,
Executive and the Company agree as follows:
1.
Consideration. As partial consideration for entering into this Release,
Executive is to receive the Severance Benefits in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement. Executive also
acknowledges that Executive’s entry into the Employment Agreement constitutes
good and valuable and otherwise sufficient consideration for Executive’s
execution and delivery to the Company of this Release. Executive is advised to
consult with an attorney before signing this Release.

2.
Released Parties. The term “Released Parties,” as used in this Release, shall
mean the Company Group and any of its past or present employees, administrators,
agents, officials, officers, directors, shareholders, divisions, parents,
subsidiaries, successors, affiliates, general partners, limited partners,
consultants, employee benefit plans (and their sponsors, fiduciaries, or
administrators), insurers, accountants and attorneys.

3.
General Release. In consideration for the benefits described in Paragraph 1,
Executive, on behalf of himself and his agents, representatives, attorneys,
assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators, fully releases each of the
Released Parties from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, causes of
action, suits, grievances, debts, sums of money, agreements, promises, damages,
back and front pay, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and remedies of any type,
regarding any act or failure to act that occurred up to and including the date
on which Executive signs this Release, including, without limitation, any claims
arising or that arose or may have arisen out of or in connection with
Executive’s employment or separation of employment from the Company, and
including but not limited to:

all claims, actions or liability under (1) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C.
§1981), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Americans with

compensation, unpaid wages, employee benefits, termination of employment, or
discrimination in employment; and (3) the common law of any state relating to
employment contracts, wrongful discharge, defamation, or any other matter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Release shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any claim Executive may have to the extent (and only to the extent) such
claim arises from (1) a breach by the Company of its obligations under the
Employment Agreement to pay or provide (as applicable) the Accrued Amounts and
the Severance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Benefits; (2) any rights to indemnification by the Company or its affiliates
under applicable law, by-laws, or as an insured under any director’s and
officer’s liability insurance policy now or previously in force, in any event to
the extent so provided, (3) with respect to Executive’s rights as a shareholder
or holder of options of Parent, or (4) rights applicable to Executive under
ERISA and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act under any “employee
benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA) of the Company applicable to Executive.
4.
Waiver of Statutory or Common Law Limitations on Release. On behalf of himself
and his heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, the
undersigned Executive specifically waives the benefits of any statutory or
common law of any state, which in effect provides that a general release does
not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor. It is expressly understood and agreed that the releases contained herein
are intended to cover and do cover all known facts and/or claims, as well as any
further facts and/or claims within the scope of such released claims not known
or anticipated, but which may later develop or be discovered, including all the
effects and consequences thereof. On behalf of himself and his heirs, executors,
legal representatives, successors and assigns, the undersigned Executive
acknowledges that he may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different
from, those which he now believes to be true with respect to the subject matter
of the Claims released herein, but agrees that the undersigned has taken that
possibility into account prior to executing this Release and entering into the
Employment Agreement, and that the releases given herein shall be and remain in
effect notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or
different facts, as to which the undersigned Executive expressly assumes the
risk.

5.
Non-Admission. This Release does not constitute an admission by any of the
Released Parties that any action that any of them took with respect to Executive
was wrongful, unlawful or in violation of any local, state, or federal act,
statute, or constitution, or susceptible of inflicting any damages or injury on
Executive and the Company specifically denies any such wrongdoing or violation.

6.
Release Inadmissible as Evidence. This Release, its execution, and its
implementation may not be used as evidence, and shall not be admissible, in a
subsequent proceeding of any kind, except one which either party institutes
alleging a breach of this Release.

7.
Confidentiality. Except as may be specifically required by law, Executive agrees
that he will not (without the prior written consent of the Company) disclose,
publish, indicate, or in any manner communicate, the terms and provisions of
this Release to any other person or entity except: (a) as may be required by
law; (b) to his accountant and/or financial advisor to the extent necessary to
prepare his tax returns; (c) to his attorney; and (d) to his immediate family
members. Executive further agrees that prior to any such authorized disclosure,
Executive will inform each such person to whom disclosure is to be made that the
terms of this Release are confidential.

8.
Waiver of Monetary Damages. Nothing in this Release shall be construed to
prohibit Executive from filing a charge with, providing information to, or
participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or a
comparable state or local government agency, though Executive acknowledges and
agrees that Executive has waived the right to recover monetary damages in any
charge, complaint, or lawsuit filed by Executive or by anyone else on
Executive’s behalf or otherwise. Further, nothing in this Release shall preclude
Executive from responding truthfully to a valid subpoena or a request by a
governmental agency in connection with any investigation it is conducting.

9.

CONTAINED HEREIN, IF THE UNDERSIGNED IS A RESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA, THE
UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
