 Concurrently with the consummation of the issue and sale of the Offered Securities (the “Offering”), the Company will obtain an amendment in the form attached hereto as Annex I (the

Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 issued by the Company in May 1998 (the “91⁄2% Notes”) and (B) $205,000,000 principal amount of 8.8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 issued by the Company in August 1998 (the “8.8%
Notes” and, together with the 91⁄2% Notes, the “Redeemed Securities”), in each of (A) and (B), at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture for such notes and otherwise in accordance in all respects
with such indentures. Prior to the consummation of the issue and sale of the Offered Securities, the Company will issue and sell (the “Convertible Notes Financing”) up to $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes
($143,750,000 aggregate principal amount of notes if the purchasers thereunder exercise their over-allotment option pursuant to the terms thereof) convertible into common stock of Holdings (the “Convertible Notes”) that will be

following effect: 
  
 “The Securities
covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their
distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the date of the commencement of the offering and the closing date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S (or Rule 144A if available) under the Securities

such resale a notice to the effect that the resale of such Offered Securities has been made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. 
  
 (d) Each Purchaser severally represents and agrees that (i)
it has not offered or sold, and prior to the expiry of a period six months from the Closing Date will not offer or sell, any Offered Securities to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring,
holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning
of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (ii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning
of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company or any of the
Guarantors; and (iii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Offered Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

any person or entity in any jurisdiction outside of the United States except, in each case, in compliance in all material 

  

 15 

 
respects with all applicable laws. For the purpose of this Agreement, “United States” means the United States of America, its territories, its
possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction. 
  
 5.
Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the several Purchasers that: 
  
 (a) The Company will advise the Co-Representatives promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Offering Document and will not
effect such amendment or supplementation without the Co-Representative’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, at any time prior to the completion of the resale of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers any event occurs as a
result of which the Offering Document as then amended or supplemented would include (as of its date or the last date of its amendment or supplementation, whichever is later) an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company promptly will notify the Co-Representatives of such event and promptly will prepare, at its own expense, an
amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission. Neither the Co-Representatives’ consent to, nor the Purchasers’ delivery to offerees or investors of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any
of the conditions set forth in Section 6. 
  
 (b)
The Company will furnish to the Co-Representatives copies of the Offering Document and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Co-Representatives may from time to time
request, and the Company will furnish to the Co-Representatives on the Closing Date three copies of the Final Offering Circular signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, one of which will include the independent accountants’ reports
therein manually signed by such independent accountants. At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, for so long as any Offered Securities are outstanding, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Co-Representatives (and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers) and, upon request of holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities, to such holders and purchasers, copies of the information required to be
delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with resales by such
holders of the Offered Securities. The 

  

 16 

 
Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Purchasers all such documents. 
  
 (c) The Company will promptly from time to time take such
action as any Purchaser may reasonably request to arrange for the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as any
Purchaser designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers provided that the Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such state or province. 
  
 (d) During the period of five years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Co-Representatives and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of
its annual report to stockholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Co-Representatives and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers (i) as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the
Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (ii) from time to time, such other public information concerning the Company as the Co-Representatives may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such
document filed with the Commission that is publicly available in electronic form on the Commission’s EDGAR System shall not be provided unless requested by the Co-Representatives or any Purchaser, as applicable. 
  
 (e) During the period of two years after the Closing Date,
the Company will, upon request, furnish to the Co-Representatives, each of the other Purchasers and any holder of Offered Securities a copy of the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Securities. 
  
 (f) During the period of two years after the Closing Date,
the Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Offered Securities that have been reacquired by any of them. 
  
 (g) During the period of two years after the Closing Date,
neither the Company nor Holdings will be or become an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act. 
  
 (h) The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the
performance of its obligations under the Operative Documents 

  

 17 

 
including (i) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its professional advisers; (ii) all expenses in connection with the execution, issue, authentication,
packaging and initial delivery of the Offered Securities and, as applicable, the Exchange Securities, the preparation and printing of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Offered Securities, the Indenture, the Offering Document and
amendments and supplements thereto, and any other document relating to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities and, as applicable, the Exchange Securities; (iii) the cost of qualifying the Offered Securities for trading in
The PortalSM Market (“PORTAL”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and any expenses incidental
thereto; (iv) expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification of the Offered Securities or the Exchange Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as any
Purchaser designates and the printing of memoranda relating thereto; (v) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities or the Exchange Securities; and (vi) expenses incurred in distributing the Offering
Document (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Purchasers. The Purchasers will pay for all travel expenses of the Company’s officers and employees and any other expenses of the Company in connection with attending meetings
with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities, including the cost of an airplane for such travel. It is understood that, except as provided in this Section and in Sections 7 and 9 hereof, the Purchasers will pay for all travel expenses of
the Purchasers’ employees and any other out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchasers in connection with attending or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities, the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on the resale of
any of the Offered Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they make. 
  
 (i) In connection with the Offering, until the Co-Representatives shall have notified the Company and the other Purchasers of the
completion of the resale of the Offered Securities, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has or will, either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase for any account in which it or any of its affiliates has a beneficial
interest any Offered Securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any Offered Securities; and neither it nor any of its affiliates will make bids or purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or of
raising the price of, the Offered Securities. 
  
 (j) For a period of 90 days after the date of the initial offering of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers, the Company will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, directly or 

  

 18 

 
indirectly, any United States dollar-denominated debt securities that are substantially similar to the Offered Securities and are issued or guaranteed by the
Company or guaranteed by Holdings, and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue, without the prior written consent of the Co-Representatives. The Company will not at any time offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities under circumstances where such offer, sale, pledge, contract or disposition would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act to cease to be applicable to the offer and sale
of the Securities. 
  
 (k) The Company will use
its best efforts to effect the inclusion of the Offered Securities in PORTAL and to maintain the listing of the Offered Securities on PORTAL for so long as the Offered Securities (not including the Exchange Securities) are outstanding. 

 
 (l) The Company will obtain the approval of DTC for
“book-entry” transfer of the Offered Securities, and will comply with all of its agreements set forth in the representation letters of the Company and the Guarantors to DTC relating to the approval of the Offered Securities by DTC for
“book-entry” transfer. 
  
 (m) The
Company will not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the sale of the Offered Securities to the Purchasers or pursuant to
exempt resales of the Offered Securities in a manner that would require the registration of any such sale of the Offered Securities under the Securities Act. 
  

(n) The Company will not voluntarily claim, and will actively resist any attempts to claim, the benefit of any usury laws against the
holders of any Notes and the related Guaranties. 
  
 (o) The Company will cause, as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof, the Registered Exchange Offer to be made in the appropriate form to permit Exchange Securities and
guarantees thereof by the Guarantors registered pursuant to the Securities Act to be offered in exchange for the Offered Securities and to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer.

  
 (p) The Company will comply with all of its
agreements set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the sole monetary damages for breach of this obligation and the 

  

 19 

 
obligations set forth in the preceding paragraph shall be the liquidated damages provided for by the Registration Rights Agreement. 
  
 (q) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to do
and perform all things required or necessary to be done and performed under this Agreement by it prior to the Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent to the delivery of the Offered Securities. 
  
 (r) On the Closing Date, the Company will mail irrevocable
notices of redemption to the holders of the Redeemed Securities in compliance with Section 11.5 of each of the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture. 
  
 (s) On the Closing Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee sufficient funds to pay the Redemption Price (as defined in the each of
the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture) of the Redeemed Securities, including any accrued interest on such securities to the redemption date thereof, in compliance with Sections 4.1 and 11.6 of each of the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8%
Indenture. 
  
 (t) The Company and the Guarantors
shall take all such further actions by the Closing Date as may be necessary to effect the satisfaction and discharge of the 91⁄2% Indenture and of the 8.8% Indenture in compliance with the terms and conditions of Article IV of such indentures.

  
 6. Conditions of the Obligations of the Purchasers. The
obligations of the several Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Offered Securities will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and each Guarantor herein, to the accuracy of the statements of
officers of the Company and each Guarantor made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and each Guarantor of their respective obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent: 
  
 (a) The Purchasers shall have received on the Closing Date a
letter, dated the date of this Agreement, of Ernst & Young LLP confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder (“Rules and
Regulations”) and to the effect that: 
  
 (i) in their opinion the financial statements examined by them and included in the Offering Document comply as to form in all material respects with the accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related 

  

 20 

 
published Rules and Regulations that would be applicable if the Offering were registered under the Securities Act; 
  
 (ii) they have performed the procedures specified by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited financial statements included in the Offering
Document and in the Exchange Act Reports; 
  
 (iii) on the basis of the review referred to in clause (ii) above, a reading of the latest available interim financial statements of the Company, inquiries of officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting
matters and other specified procedures, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that: 
  
 (A) the unaudited financial statements included in the Offering Document or in the Exchange Act Reports do not comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related published Rules and Regulations or any material modifications should be made to such unaudited financial statements for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles; 
  
 (B)
at the date of the latest available balance sheet read by such accountants, or at a subsequent specified date not more than three business days prior to the date of this Agreement, there was any change in the consolidated capital stock or any
increase in short-term indebtedness or long-term indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or, at the date of the latest available balance sheet read by such accountants, there was any decrease in consolidated net current assets,
as compared with amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included in the Offering Document; or 
  
 (C) for the period from the closing date of the latest income statement included in the Offering Document to the closing date of the
latest available income statement read by such accountants there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, in total consolidated revenues, gross profit, net operating income, consolidated income before
extraordinary items or net income; 
  
 except in all cases set
forth in clauses (A) and (B) above for changes, increases or decreases which are described in such letter; and 
  
 (iv) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial information
contained in the Offering Document (in each case to the extent that such dollar 

  

 21 

 
amounts, percentages and other financial information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to the
internal controls of the Company’s accounting system or are derived directly from such records by analysis or computation) with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting records and other procedures specified in
such letter and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information to be in agreement with such results, except as otherwise specified in such letter. 
  
 (b) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any
change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise which, in the judgment of a majority
in interest of the Purchasers, including the Co-Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the Offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading
in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has
under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any suspension or
limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange, or any suspension of trading of any securities of Holdings or the Company on any exchange or in the
over-the-counter market; (iv) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; or (v) any outbreak or
escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Purchasers,
including the Co-Representatives, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the Offering or sale of and payment for the Offered Securities being
issued. 
  
 (c) Concurrently with or prior to the
issuance and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company, the Amendment shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Holdings, United Rentals of Canada, Inc. and the Company and the Amendment shall conform in all material respects to
the description thereof in the Offering 

  

 22 

 
Document. The Amendment shall be in full force and effect and the Purchasers shall have received true and correct copies of all documents pertaining thereto
and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers of the effectiveness thereof. There shall exist at and as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transactions) no condition that
would constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under the Credit Agreement or any other document relating to the Transactions. 
  
 (d) The Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the
Closing Date, of (i) Ehrenreich Eilenberg & Krause LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, to the effect set forth in Annex II hereto, and (ii) Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, to the effect
set forth in Annex III hereto. 
  
 (e) The
Purchasers shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the validity of the Offered Securities, the Offering
Document, the exemption from registration for the offer and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company to the several Purchasers and the resales by the several Purchasers as contemplated hereby and other related matters as the Co-Representatives
may require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. 
  
 (f) The Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the President or any Vice President and a principal
financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and the Guarantors in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that the representations and warranties of the Company or the applicable
Guarantor (as the case may be) in this Agreement are true and correct, that the Company or the applicable Guarantor (as the case may be) has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder
at or prior to the Closing Date, and that, subsequent to the dates of the most recent consolidated financial statements of Holdings in the Offering Document there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a
prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of Holdings, the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in or contemplated by the Offering Document
or as described in such certificate. 
  

 23 

 (g) The Purchasers shall have received a letter, dated the Closing Date, of Ernst &
Young LLP which meets the requirements of subsection (a) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to in such subsection will be a date not more than three days prior to the Closing Date for the purposes of this subsection.

Trustee shall have entered into the Indenture, and the Purchasers shall have received an executed counterpart thereof. 
  
 (i) The Purchasers shall have received a counterpart of the Registration Rights Agreement that shall have been executed by a duly

91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture. 
  
 (k) Concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall satisfy and discharge the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture in accordance with Article IV thereof and shall deliver to the Trustee the officer’s certificate and opinion of
counsel required to be delivered in accordance with such Article and the Purchasers shall have received copies of such documents. 
  
 The Company will furnish the Purchasers with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Purchasers reasonably request. The
Co-Representatives may in their sole discretion waive on behalf of the Purchasers compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Purchasers hereunder. 
  

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser,
its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may
become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement, and,
subject to Section 7(c) of this Agreement, will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with 

  

 24 

 
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through the Co-Representatives specifically for use therein. 
  
 (b) Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or a Guarantor (as the case may be) may become subject, under the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company or a Guarantor (as the case may be) by such Purchaser through the Co-Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or a
Guarantor (as the case may be) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided however, that the Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense 

  

 25 

 
thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the
named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm or any Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such
Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representative and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their directors and officers and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify an indemnified party hereunder with respect to any settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of any
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder if (i) such settlement, compromise or consent is entered into or made or given by the indemnified party
without the consent of the indemnifying party and (ii) the indemnifying party has not unreasonably withheld or delayed any such consent. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b)
above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative 

  

 26 

 
fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any
Guarantor or the Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim
which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions such Purchaser received in
connection with the purchase of the Offered Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The
Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. 
  
 (e) The obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or any Guarantor may
otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section shall be
in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act. 
  
 8. Default of Purchasers. If any
Purchaser or Purchasers default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of
the total principal amount of Offered Securities, the Co-Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are
made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Purchasers shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase. If any
Purchaser or Purchasers so default and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities and arrangements satisfactory to the Co-

  

 27 

 
Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except as provided in Section 9. As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” includes any person substituted for a Purchaser under this
Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default. 
  
 9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Guarantors or their officers and of the
several Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company, the Guarantors or
any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of
the Offered Securities by the Purchasers is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5(h) and the respective obligations of the Company, the Guarantors and the
Purchasers pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the
occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii) (excluding suspension of trading of any securities of Holdings or the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market), (iv) or (v) of Section 6(b), the Company will reimburse the
Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities. 
  
 10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Purchasers will be mailed, delivered
or telegraphed and confirmed to the Purchasers, c/o J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017, Attention: Ken Lang, Managing Director, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at
Five Greenwich Office Park, Greenwich, CT 06830, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 7 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Purchaser.

  
 11. Representation of the Purchasers. The
Co-Representatives will act for the several Purchasers in connection with this Purchase Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Co-Representatives will be binding upon all the Purchasers. 
  
 12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and affiliates, and the controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of Offered Securities shall be
entitled to enforce the agreements for their benefit contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the Company as if such holders were parties thereto. 
  

 28 

 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. 
  
 14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 
  
 The
Company and the Guarantors hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.

 If the foregoing is in accordance with the Purchasers’ understanding of our agreement, kindly sign
and return to us one of the counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement among the Company, Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the several Purchasers in accordance with its terms.

 A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 20, 2001 (as previously amended, and as further amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Holdings, the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agents. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 B. Holdings and the
Borrowers have requested that (i) the Required Lenders amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Required Lenders and the Canadian Collateral Agent amend certain provisions of two of the Canadian Security Documents. In addition,
the Canadian Administrative Agent has requested that (i) the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Required Lenders waive certain requirements relating to the resignation of the Canadian Administrative Agent and (ii) the Canadian Borrowers and the
Lenders holding a majority of the C $ Revolving Loans (the “C Lenders”) consent to the appointment of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Toronto Branch, as its successor. The Borrowers, the Required Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the C Lenders and
the Canadian Collateral Agent are willing to agree to such amendments, waiver and consent, as applicable, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Amendment. 
  

 Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  
 SECTION 1. Amendment to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement.

payable owed to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (h) (A) debt discount, call premiums and other fees and expenses (including termination fees in respect of Hedging Obligations) to the extent written-off or incurred as a result of the prepayment,

connection with any permitted repayment or prepayment of Synthetic Lease Obligations, transaction costs, fees and expenses to the extent incurred and any gain or loss attributable to the difference between the amount of such Synthetic Lease

 (b) The definition of the term “Net Worth” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
  
 ““Net Worth” means, at any time, the
sum of (a) Holdings’s consolidated stockholders’ equity (including preferred stock accounts but determined by excluding the effects of (i) the non-cash charges attributable to the impairment of goodwill (net of any tax benefits relating to
such 

  

 2 

 
charges) referred to in clause (b) of the definition of Consolidated Net Income, (ii) the non-cash charges attributable to the write-off of certain notes
payable owed to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (net of any tax benefits relating to such charges) referred to in clause (g) of the definition of Consolidated Net Income, (iii) the write-offs and costs referred to in clause (h) of the
definition of “Consolidated Net Income” and (iv) the costs and gains or losses referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Consolidated Net Income”) at such time plus (b) to the extent, if any, not included in such

 (c) The following new definition shall be inserted in proper alphabetical order: 
  
 ““Replacement Senior Notes” has the meaning set forth in Section 6.02(o).”

Agreement. Section 2.11(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “or Senior Notes” with “, Senior Notes or Replacement Senior Notes”. 
  
 SECTION 3. Amendments to Article VI of the Credit Agreement. (a) Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by adding a new clause (e) immediately after clause (d) thereof as follows: 
  
 “(e) For purposes of Article VI, pro forma effect may be given to a prepayment, defeasance or redemption pursuant to clause (viii) of
the proviso to Section 6.04, but only to the extent of any funds that have been irrevocably deposited or (for purposes of determining whether Debt described in clause (viii)(A), (B) or (C) of such proviso may be incurred) will be irrevocably
deposited upon the incurrence of Debt described in clause (viii)(A), (B) or (C) of such proviso with the trustee (or other Person performing such function) in respect of, and in accordance with the terms of, the Debt being prepaid, defeased or
redeemed.” 
  
 (b) Section 6.02(b) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by inserting the following immediately before the semi-colon at the end thereof: 
  
 “(for the avoidance of doubt, any Debt permitted solely by this clause (b) that is being prepaid, defeased or redeemed in compliance
with clause (viii) of the proviso to Section 6.04 shall not be counted towards the $500,000,000 limitation to the extent that pro forma effect may be given to such prepayment, defeasance or redemption pursuant to clause (e) of Section 6.01)”

  

 3 

 (c) Section 6.02(m) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting “, Replacement Senior
Notes” after the words “Senior Notes” in clause (B)(2) of the second proviso thereto. 
  
 (d) Section 6.02(o) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
  
 “(o) the Senior Notes and, in the event of any
prepayment, purchase, defeasance or redemption of the Senior Notes in compliance with clause (viii) of the proviso to Section 6.04, so long as no Default exists or would result therefrom, the U.S. Borrower may incur unsecured Senior Debt (and
Holdings and Subsidiaries may guarantee such Senior Debt) pursuant to this clause (o) (“Replacement Senior Notes”), provided that (i) Holdings shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in this Article VI, including
compliance with Section 6.01, determined on a pro forma basis as if any such incurrence had occurred at the beginning of the most recent period for testing compliance therewith, (ii) any such Replacement Senior Notes shall have no amortization prior
to the date that is six months after the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any such Replacement Senior Notes outstanding at any time shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes so prepaid,
purchased, defeased or redeemed; provided further that no Subsidiary will guarantee the U.S. Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Senior Notes or any Replacement Senior Notes if such Subsidiary is not a guarantor under the U.S.
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement;” 
  
 (e) Section 6.04 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing the phrase “or Senior Notes” in clause (d) thereof with the phrase “, Senior Notes or Replacement Senior Notes”, (ii) deleting the word “and” immediately after clause

Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests), provided that such prepayment, purchase, defeasance or redemption, as the case may be, is consummated within 45 days of such incurrence or issuance. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in
this Section 6.04 shall prohibit Holdings from paying cash in lieu of issuing fractional Equity Interests of Holdings in connection with the 

  

 4 

 
conversion of Debt into such Equity Interests in accordance with the terms of such Debt.”

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 We have acted as counsel to United Rentals (North America), Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated October 28, 2003, pursuant to which there are being sold to you on the date hereof an aggregate of $525,000,000 principal
amount of the Company’s 73⁄4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013. This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Purchase Agreement. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. 
  
 As to various questions of fact material to our
opinion, we have relied upon the certificates of officers and upon certificates of public officials. We have also examined such corporate documents and records and other certificates, and have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed
necessary in order to render the opinion hereinafter set forth. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed that all documents examined by us have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto other than the Company or any Significant
Entity (as defined below). 
  
 In this opinion, (i)
“Holdings” means United Rentals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (ii) “Significant Entity” means Holdings, United Rentals Northwest, Inc., an Oregon corporation, United Rentals Gulf, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and United
Equipment Rentals Gulf, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and (iii) “Corporate Significant Entity” means each Significant Entity other than United Equipment Rentals Gulf, L.P., and (iv) “Corporate Significant Subsidiary” means
each Corporate Significant Entity other than Holdings. 
  

 Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we render the following opinion: 
  
 (1) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  
 (2) The Company has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Offering Document and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

  
 (3) The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to
transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good
standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company, counsel to the Purchasers, representatives of the
independent accountants for the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the preparation of the Offering Document and in conferences at which the contents of the Offering Document and related matters were discussed. Although we have not
undertaken, except as otherwise indicated in this opinion, to investigate or verify independently, and do not assume responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Document, except for those
referred to in paragraph 14 above, we confirm to you that nothing that came to our attention that leads us to believe that (i) the Offering Document (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by
reference therein, as to which we make no statement), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Offering
Document (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we make no statement), at the time the Offering Document was issued or at the Closing Date, included or
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) that there are any
franchise agreements, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other contracts or instruments required to be described or referred to in the Offering Document that are not described or referred to in the Offering Document or that any
descriptions of or references to any of the foregoing are not correct in all material respects (except that we express no view with respect to the descriptions of the Offered Securities, the information under “Certain United States federal
income tax considerations,” the Indenture or the Excluded Agreements). 
  
 The opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State 

  

 6 

 
of Delaware, and the federal laws of the United States (except that the opinions in paragraph 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 cover with respect to each Significant Entity
the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of such Significant Entity). We have, with your permission, relied without independent investigation on the opinions of local counsel identified on Exhibit A hereto (copies of which have been delivered
to you) in rendering: (a) the opinions in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 above insofar as such opinions relate to any Significant Entity that is not incorporated under the laws of the State of New York or the State of Delaware, (b) the opinions in the first
sentence of paragraph 9 above insofar as such opinions relate to any Significant Entity that is not incorporated under the laws of the State of New York or the State of Delaware and (c) the opinions in the second sentence of paragraph 9 above
insofar as it expresses any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the State of Delaware. The opinion in paragraph 10 hereof requires that the Registration Rights Agreement shall have been duly
authorized            , executed and delivered by each Guarantor under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. Accordingly, such opinion, insofar as it relates to any Significant
Entity, is based in part on the opinion in paragraph 9 and so relies in part on the opinions of local counsel identified on Exhibit A hereto, as aforesaid. In rendering the opinion in paragraph 10 hereof, we have assumed with your permission that
the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Guarantor that is not a Significant Entity. 
  
 We have reviewed the opinions of local counsel identified on Exhibit A hereto and, based upon such review, we believe that you and we are justified in
relying upon them.

 ANNEX III 
  
 FORM OF OPINION OF WEIL GOTSHAL & MANGES LLP 
 TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 6(d) 
  
 November 12,
2003 
  
 J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. 
 Credit Suisse First Boston LLC 
 As Co-Representatives of the
Several Purchasers, 
 c/o J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. 
 270 Park Avenue 
 New York, NY 10017 
  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 We have acted as special counsel to United Rentals (North America), Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the
authorization, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2003 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse
First Boston LLC, as co-representatives of the several purchasers listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”), the Company, United Rentals, Inc., a Delaware corporation and parent of the Company
(“Holdings”), and each of the Company’s subsidiaries listed on Schedule B hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Holdings, the “Guarantors”). The Purchase Agreement relates to
the issuance and sale by the Company to the Purchasers of $525,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 73⁄4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”). The Notes and the Guarantees are together referred to
as the “Offered Securities.” This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and used but not otherwise defined herein are used herein
as so defined. 
  
 In so acting, we have examined originals or
copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture (including the Guarantees provided therein), the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes, the Exchange Securities (which consist of notes
identical in all material respects to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) and guarantees identical in all material respects to the Guarantees (the “Exchange Guarantees”), except that such Exchange Securities will not
contain terms with respect to registration rights or transfer restrictions) and such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and
representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. 
  

 In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter
documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and upon the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in the Purchase Agreement. For all purposes of our opinions below we have also assumed as to each of the Subsidiary Guarantors that (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor is validly
existing and in good standing under all applicable laws, and has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Guarantor Documents”) and (ii)
the Guarantor Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
  
 Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that: 
  
 1. Each of the Company and Holdings is a corporation validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as described in the Offering Document and to execute and deliver the
Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. 
  
 2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and the Guarantors have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Guarantors. The Purchase Agreement has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors. 
  
 3. The Notes are in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and Holdings, and when executed by the Company and Holdings,
authenticated by the Trustee, and issued and delivered in the manner provided in the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture against payment of the consideration therefor, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and Holdings,
enforceable against each of the Company and Holdings, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in
equity), and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. 
  
 4. The Guarantees are in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The Guarantees have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of 

  

 2 

 
Holdings, and when duly authorized, executed and delivered on the part of each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding
obligations of each Guarantor, enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and
remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity),
and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. 
  
 5. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture by each of the Company and Holdings have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and Holdings. The Indenture has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by each of the Company and Holdings. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by each Subsidiary Guarantor and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee, the
Indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except to the extent that the provision relating to the waiver of any usury, stay or extension law may be deemed unenforceable. 
  
 6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Registration Rights
Agreement by each of the Company and Holdings have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and Holdings. The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of the
Company and Holdings. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by each Subsidiary Guarantor and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Purchasers, the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium
and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. 
  
 7. The notice of redemption mailed by or on behalf of the Company to the
holders of the Redeemed Securities complies with the requirements of Section 11.5 of each of the Indenture, dated as of May 22, 1998, as amended, among the Company, 

  

 3 

 
formerly known as United Rentals, Inc., the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company
relating to the Company’s 91⁄2% senior subordinated notes due 2008 (the “91⁄2% Indenture”) and the Indenture, dated as of August 12, 1998, among the Company, its United States subsidiaries party thereto, and U.S. Bank
National Association, as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company relating to the Company’s 8.8% senior subordinated notes due 2008 (the “8.8% Indenture”). Other than the irrevocable deposit of trust funds in an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness thereunder in accordance with the redemption provisions of the Redeemed Securities set forth in the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture, respectively, the Company has taken all actions
required under Article IV of the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture, respectively, to satisfy and discharge such indentures. 
  
 8. The Exchange Notes, when duly executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee, and issued and delivered in accordance with and in the manner
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and Holdings, enforceable against each of the Company and Holdings, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including
principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. 
  
 9. The Exchange Guarantees have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of Holdings, and when duly executed by each Subsidiary Guarantor, authenticated by the Trustee, and issued and delivered in accordance with and in the manner provided in the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Indenture, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against each Guarantor, in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. 
  
 10. The statements contained in the Offering Document under the captions “Summary - The offering,” “Description of the notes,” and
“Information concerning certain indebtedness, other obligations and preferred securities,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of (a) the Indenture, (b) the Offered Securities, (c) the Guarantees, (d) the Registration Rights
Agreement, (e) the Credit Agreement, (f) the Amendment, (g) the Indenture, dated as of December 15, 1998, among the Company, its United States subsidiaries party thereto, and State Street relating to the Company’s 91⁄4% senior subordinated
notes due 2009 (the “91⁄4% Indenture”), (h) the Indenture, dated as of March 23, 1999, among the Company, its United States subsidiaries party thereto, and 

  

 4 

 
The Bank of New York, as trustee, relating to the Company’s 9% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the “9% Indenture”), (i) the
Indenture, dated as of April 20, 2001, among the Company, United Rentals, Inc., its United States subsidiaries party thereto, and The Bank of New York, as trustee, relating to the Company’s 103⁄4% senior notes due 2008 (the
“103⁄4% Indenture”), (j) the Indenture, dated as of December 24, 2002, among Holdings, the Company, its United States subsidiaries party thereto, and The Bank of New York, as trustee, relating to the Company’s 103⁄4%
senior notes due 2008 (the “2002 103⁄4% Indenture”) or (k) matters of federal or New York law or Delaware corporate law, fairly represent the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings
and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects. We draw your attention to the fact that (i) the interpretations of the Commission described in the first sentence of the third paragraph under the caption
“Description of the notes—Exchange offer; registration rights” in the Offering Document are contained solely in no-action letters issued by the Commission to various third parties, (ii) the Company has not requested a no-action letter
from the Commission relating to the transactions contemplated by the Offering Document and (iii) the Commission is not precluded from changing the interpretations set forth in such no-action letters or from not following such interpretations with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Offering Document. 
  
 11. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any New York, Delaware corporate or federal governmental authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the
Purchase Agreement or the consummation by the Company or any Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for filings and other actions required under or pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act and
other federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, as to which we express no opinion. 
  
 12. Assuming (a) the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement are true, correct and complete and
(b) compliance by the Purchasers with their covenants and agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement or the initial resales of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers in the manner contemplated by and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and described in the Offering Document to register the Offered Securities under the Securities
Act, it being understood that we express no opinion as to any subsequent resale of the Offered Securities. The Indenture conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
applicable to an indenture which is qualified thereunder. 
  
 13.
Neither the Company nor Holdings is an “investment company” nor an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act.

satisfaction and discharge of the 91⁄2% Indenture and the 8.8% Indenture do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or a default or prepayment event under,
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary thereof pursuant to the Financing Documents (as defined below) or any agreement or instrument of which we are
aware which was entered into or executed by the Company or any such subsidiary as required under or contemplated by any of the Financing Documents, except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults, prepayment events, liens, charges or encumbrances that
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used above, the term “Financing Documents” means, collectively: (a) the Credit Agreement and the Amendment, (b) the 91⁄4% Indenture, (c) the 9% Indenture, (d)

 Reference is made to the Confidential Offering Memorandum, dated October 28,

(“Holdings”), the Subsidiary Guarantors and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, as co-representatives of the several purchasers (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms defined in the
Agreement and used (but not otherwise defined) herein are used herein as so defined. 
  
 The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information, and many determinations involved in the preparation of the Offering Document
are of a non-legal character. In addition, we have not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Offering Document or in the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated
Documents”). Consequently, in this letter we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Document, except to the extent provided in paragraph 8 of our separate
letter to you dated the date hereof. Also, we do not make any statement herein with respect to any of the financial statements and related notes thereto, the financial statement schedules or the financial or accounting data contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Document.

 We have reviewed the Offering Document and we have participated in conferences with representatives of
each of the Company and Holdings, their independent public accountants, you and your counsel, at which conferences the contents of the Offering Document, the Incorporated Documents and related matters were discussed. 
  
 In the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts have
come to our attention which cause us to believe that the Offering Document (including the Incorporated Documents), as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 The statements made herein are set forth solely for your benefit and are addressed to you solely in your capacity as the initial purchasers of the
Securities. Neither this letter nor any of such statements may be used or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other person (including any subsequent purchaser or transferee of the Securities), and neither this letter nor any copies hereof may be
furnished to any other person, filed with a governmental agency, quoted, cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent. 
  
 Very truly yours,

forma effect may be given to a prepayment, defeasance or redemption pursuant to clause (viii) of the proviso to Section 6.04, but only to the extent of any funds that have been irrevocably deposited or (for purposes of determining whether Debt

function) in respect of, and in accordance with the terms of, the Debt being prepaid, defeased or redeemed.” 
  
 (b)    Section 6.02(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following immediately before the

 (c)    Section 6.02(m) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting “, Replacement Senior Notes”
after the words “Senior Notes” in clause (B)(2) of the second proviso thereto.
