AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment”), dated as of August 24, 2009, to the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement (the “Existing Stockholders Agreement”), dated as of May 29, 2007, among (i)
RSC Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (ii) each Stockholder party to the
Existing Stockholders Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings set forth in the Existing Stockholders Agreement. The Existing Stockholders Agreement, as

W I T N E S S E T H




WHEREAS, the Existing Stockholders Agreement provides that, pursuant to Section 6.8 thereof,
the Existing Stockholders Agreement may be amended only if any such amendment, action or omission
to act, has been approved by Stockholders holding in excess of 50% of the then-outstanding Voting
Securities of the Stockholders including Unanimous Investor Approval;



WHEREAS, the Stockholders who are signatories to this Amendment constitute (i) Stockholders
holding in excess of 50% of the then-outstanding Voting Securities of the Stockholders and (ii) all
of the Principal Investors who have the right to designate at least one Investor Nominee pursuant
to Section 1.1(a) of the Existing Stockholders Agreement as of the date hereof;



WHEREAS, in connection with Ripplewood’s desire to provide their limited partners with
liquidity in the Company’s Shares, Ripplewood has indicated it wishes to distribute approximately
26.6 million Shares to those limited partners and would immediately after such distribution cause
all of the Ripplewood Nominees to resign from the Board; and



WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Existing Stockholders Agreement pursuant to
Section 6.8 thereof to, among other things, allow the composition of the Board to better reflect
the shareholdings of the Stockholders;


 


 









 





NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:



1. Amendment and Restatement of Section 1.1(a) of the Existing Stockholders Agreement.
Section 1.1(a) of the Existing Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:




“(a) Board Nominees.



(i) Prior to a Controlled Company Event. Subject to Section 1.5 and any rights of the
holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the
Company to elect additional members to the board of directors of the Company (the
“Board”), and prior to a Controlled Company Event, the Stockholders and the Company shall
take all Necessary Action to cause the Board to be comprised of up to 10 directors:



(A) four of whom shall be designated by Oak Hill (such persons, the “Oak Hill
Nominees” or the “Investor Nominees”) (subject to reduction pursuant to Section
1.5(a)(i));



(B) four of whom shall be Independent Directors, each of which shall be designated by Majority
Approval (provided that the Board may opt not to fill one of these positions); and



(C) unless otherwise agreed by Majority Approval, one of whom shall be the Chief Executive
Officer (the “CEO Nominee”).



(ii) Following a Controlled Company Event. If, following a Controlled Company Event
and after giving effect to Section 1.5, the membership of the Board as designated in accordance
with Section 1.1(a)(i) would not comply with the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving
effect to applicable transition periods, if any), the Stockholders and the Company shall take all
Necessary Action to cause the Board to include the following:



(A) three Oak Hill Nominees (subject to reduction pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii));



(B) such number of Independent Directors as shall be required to comply with Applicable Law
(after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), each of which shall be designated
by Majority Approval; and



(C) unless otherwise agreed by Majority Approval, the CEO Nominee.



If, after giving effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1(a)(ii), the
composition of the Board would still not comply with the requirements of Applicable Law (after
giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), the Company and the Stockholders will take
all Necessary Action to cause the Company to comply with Applicable Law with respect to the
composition of the Board (which may include the election of additional Independent Directors as
members of the Board and Committees, either as a result of an increase in the membership of the
Board or the pro rata reduction in the number of Oak Hill Nominees and their resignation from the
Board or Committees, or both).”


 


 









 





2. Amendment of Section 1.1(b) of the Existing Stockholders Agreement. The last
sentence of Section 1.1(b) of the Existing Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read as follows: “One Oak Hill Nominee shall be allocated to each of Class I and
Class II, and two Oak Hill Nominees shall be allocated to Class III; provided that if the number of
Oak Hill Nominees is reduced pursuant to
Section 1.1(a)(ii) or Section 1.5, upon the resignation of an affected Oak Hill Nominee from a
class of the Board, the right set forth in Section 1.1(d) to designate successor Oak Hill Nominees
to such class shall expire.”



3. Amendment and Restatement of Section 1.5 of the Existing Stockholders Agreement.
Section 1.5 of the Existing Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:




“1.5 Termination of Oak Hill’s Rights.



(a) Prior to a Controlled Company Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article I, prior to the occurrence of a Controlled Company Event, the number of Oak Hill
Nominees that can be designated by Oak Hill pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(i) shall be reduced based on
the percentage then held by Oak Hill (together with members of its Principal Investor Group) of the
Shares held by Oak Hill (together with members of its Principal Investor Group) as of August 24,
2009 (its “August 2009 Holdings”), as indicated in the following table:



	 	 	 
	 	 	Reduction in Number of Oak Hill Nominees
	 	 	able to be designated by Oak Hill pursuant to
	Percentage of August 2009 Holdings then held	 	Section 1.1(a)(i)

	 	Three
	Less than l2.5%

	 	Four






Oak Hill shall cause the appropriate number of Oak Hill Nominees to resign as required to
comply with this Section 1.5(a), and the directors remaining in office shall decrease the size of
the Board to eliminate such vacancies.



(b) Following a Controlled Company Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article I, following the occurrence of a Controlled Company Event, the number of Oak Hill
Nominees that can be designated by Oak Hill pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(ii) shall be reduced based
on the percentage then held by Oak Hill (together with members of its Principal Investor Group) of
its August 2009 Holdings, as indicated in the following table:



	 	 	 
	 	 	Reduction in Number of Oak Hill Nominees
	 	 	able to be designated by Oak Hill pursuant to
	Percentage of August 2009 Holdings then held	 	Section 1.1(a)(ii)
	50% or greater

	 	None

Oak Hill shall cause the appropriate number of Oak Hill Nominees to resign as required to
comply with this Section 1.5(b), and the directors remaining in office shall decrease the size of
the Board to eliminate such vacancies. After giving
effect to this Section 1.5(b), if the number of Independent Directors exceeds the number of
Independent Directors required to comply with Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable
transition periods, if any), the Company shall cause such number of Independent Directors to resign
so that the number of Independent Directors remaining equals the minimum number required to comply
with Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any).”




4. Amendments to Section 6.8 of the Existing Stockholders Agreement.



4.1. The first sentence of Section 6.8 of the Existing Stockholders Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “This Agreement may be amended, and the
Company and any Stockholder may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act
herein required to be performed by it, by a writing signed by the Company and Stockholders holding
in excess of 50% of the then-outstanding Voting Securities of the Stockholders, which writing has
received Unanimous Investor Approval; provided that this Agreement may not be amended in a manner
adversely affecting the rights or obligations of any Stockholder which does not adversely affect
the rights or obligations of all similarly situated Stockholders in the same manner without the
consent of such Stockholder.”



4.2. The following sentence shall be added to Section 6.8 of the Existing Stockholders
Agreement: “Any Shares distributed to limited partners of Ripplewood shall be disregarded for
purposes of the calculation of 50% of the then-outstanding Voting Securities of the Stockholders
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.8.”



5. Treatment of Shares Transferred to Limited Partners of Ripplewood and Continued
Holdings by Ripplewood.



5.1. On the date hereof, and immediately after the effectiveness of this Amendment, Ripplewood
shall distribute all of its Shares other than the Remaining Shares (as defined below) to certain of
its limited partners (the “Distribution”). Notwithstanding Section 2.1(c) of the Amended
Stockholders Agreement, such partners will not be required to join the Amended Stockholders
Agreement, and pursuant to the written opinion of Jones Day, dated the date hereof, the legend on
the Shares distributed will be removed. The remaining Shares held by Ripplewood
(8,174,816 Shares)
will remain subject to the Amended Stockholders Agreement (the “Remaining Shares”).



5.2. The Remaining Shares, for a period of not less than 90 days after the Distribution, shall
not be subject to any securities transaction, including sales, puts, calls, collars or otherwise.
Ripplewood agrees that, after such 90-day period, (i) any transactions in the Remaining Shares
shall comply with applicable securities laws and shall be subject to the volume limitation of Rule
144(e)(1) under the Securities Act applicable to sales of Shares by affiliates of the Company (the
“Aggregate Volume Limitation”), and (ii) the Remaining Shares may be distributed to the partners of
Ripplewood, so long as (1) such partners agree in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Company
to be subject to the Aggregate Volume Limitation and (2) a method of tracking
the Aggregate Volume Limitation is put in place in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.


 


 









 





5.3. When the aggregate number of Remaining Shares is less than 4,000,000, (i) from such time,
Ripplewood and any of its partners who have received Remaining Shares pursuant to Section 5.2 shall
no longer be parties to the Amended Stockholders Agreement, and (ii) from such time, each party
that agreed to be subject to the Aggregate Volume Limitation pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be
released from such obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with
a transfer of any Remaining Shares, Ripplewood or any such partners shall
provide the Company with such certifications and opinions as it shall
reasonably require in order to remove any restrictive legends from Remaining
Shares being transferred.



5.4. Notwithstanding Section 6.8 of the Amended Stockholders Agreement, this Section 5 may be
amended only by the written consent of the Company, Ripplewood and Oak Hill.



6. Resignations of Ripplewood Nominees. Ripplewood shall promptly cause all of the
Ripplewood Nominees to resign from the Board upon the effectiveness of this Amendment. The Company
shall cause a corresponding reduction in the size of the Board.




7. Miscellaneous.



7.1. The headings contained in this Amendment are for purposes of convenience only and shall
not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment.



7.2. The Existing Stockholders Agreement, together with this Amendment, constitutes the entire
agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.



7.3. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereunder that would indicate
the applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction).



7.4. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Amendment may be executed
by facsimile signature(s).



7.5. Except as expressly amended hereby, all provisions of the Existing Stockholders Agreement
are hereby ratified, readopted, approved, and confirmed and remain in full force and effect.
