 Exhibit 10.8 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of September 9,
2011 (the “Employment Agreement”), by and between BakerCorp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Elizabeth Wood Ganem (the “Executive”). 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive as Vice President, Chief Human Resource Officer of the Company and wishes to acquire
and be assured of her services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive desires to be
employed by the Company as Vice President, Chief Human Resource Officer 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. 

1.1. Term. 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 10, 2011 (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.” 
 1.2. Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the
Company’s Vice President, Chief Human Resource Officer 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 Seal Beach, CA. 
 1.3.Exclusivity. 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. 

1.4. Payment 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. 
 2.1. Salary. 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
$300,000.00, 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. 
 2.2. Annual 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. 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, except to the extent expressly provided herein. The Annual Bonus shall be
paid in cash. 
 2.3. Initial Stock Option Grants. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, Parent
shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase 24,000 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 

 2.4. Employee 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. 

2.5. Vacation. 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. 
 2.6. Business 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 (a) in connection with her exiting her consulting business activities in order to assume employment with the Company up to $50,000.00 (gross) and (b) during the Employment Period in performing her 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. 
 3.1. Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason during the Term, and the Executive may voluntarily terminate her 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. 
 3.2. Termination 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 

 3.3. Termination 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 5.8 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 sum of (x) Base Salary plus (y) the Target Annual Bonus Opportunity 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 and Target Annual Bonus Opportunity continuation described in this clause (B), the Executive shall be entitled to such amounts
in a lump sum ((A) and (B) together, the “Severance Amounts”). The Executive and the Executive’s dependents shall also be entitled to health benefits (including medical and dental benefits) under the Company’s health
insurance plan 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 of the Executive’s employment; provided, that, such continued coverage shall be paid for by the Company to
the extent that the Company was paying for such medical benefits immediately prior to termination, and 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, and 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 Amounts 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 Amounts 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. 
 3.4. Voluntary 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. 

  
 4 

 3.5. No 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. 

4.1. Non-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. 

  
 5 

 4.2. Non 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. 
 4.3. Reasonableness 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 

  
 6 

 
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. 
 4.4. Other 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. 
 Section
5. Certain Definitions. 
 5.1. “Business” means the business (i) of leasing temporary
containment equipment, pumps, filtration equipment and related accessories, (ii) of selling pumps and related accessories and (iii) as conducted or contemplated to be conducted (in the case of contemplated conduct, as evidenced by tangible
business activities that have been undertaken by any member of the Company Group or actions, activities or plans approved by the Board) by the Company Group on the Termination Date. 

5.2. “Cause” means any of the following, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board: (i) commission by the

such failure; (vi) the unauthorized dissemination

such breach (which 30-day cure period shall be required only if such breach is capable of being cured). In the 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 date and time specified by the Board in writing for responding to its request for information, which date shall be reasonable given the circumstances that are being evaluated with regard to whether Cause may exist) provide the Board
with information relevant to the Board’s ultimate determination as to whether Cause exists. 
 5.3. “Change in
Control” means any transaction or series of related transactions (including the consummation of a merger, share purchase, recapitalization, redemption, issuance of capital stock, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) pursuant to which
(i) the stockholders of Parent immediately before such transaction own (together with their affiliates), immediately following such transaction, securities representing 50% or less of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction, or (ii) Parent sells all or substantially all of the assets of Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; provided, that, for purposes of this Employment
Agreement, an event shall not be considered to be a Change in Control unless such event is also a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 

5.4. “Disability” means that (1) the Executive is suffering from an illness, injury, impairment or other disability
that has caused (or the Board reasonably determines will cause) the Executive to be unable to perform the Executive’s duties with any member of the Company Group for 90 consecutive days or for 120 cumulative days during any 180-day period;
(2) the Executive, the Executive’s spouse or a minor child of the Executive has been diagnosed with a disease or illness that a medical doctor reasonably acceptable to the Executive and the Company has certified is terminal; or

the event that the Executive believes that the resignation is for Good Reason, the Notice of Resignation shall also set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the Executive’s belief that the Executive is resigning for Good Reason, including
the elements of the definition of Good Reason that the Executive believes are applicable. 
 Section 6.
Miscellaneous. 
 6.1. Indemnification; Liability Insurance. The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law in the event that the Executive is a party to a pending action, suit or proceeding, by reason of 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. 
 6.2. Assignment; 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.

 6.3. Complete 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. 

6.4. Notice. 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

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. 
 6.10. Executive’s
Acknowledgement. The Executive acknowledges (i) that the Executive has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of her 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.

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement dated [—],
2011 (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 herself and her 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

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

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 herself and her 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 her 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 herself and her heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, the undersigned Executive acknowledges that she may hereafter
discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which she 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 she 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 her accountant and/or financial advisor to the extent necessary
to prepare her tax returns; (c) to her attorney; and (d) to her 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.

MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 
 THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT
SHE MAY HAVE UNDER SECTION 1542, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT.

	 	11.	Breach of Agreement. Executive agrees that in the event the Company is required to commence an action in law or equity to enforce its rights under any
provision of this Release and prevails, Executive shall be liable for the reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such action (other than with respect to any claim under the ADEA).

 Exhibit 10.9 
 BakerCorp 
 VP and Named Officer Incentive Plan 

For Fiscal Year 2012, Effective 2/1/11 
 Purpose: 
 The BakerCorp (“Company”) VP and Named Officer incentive plan
(“Incentive Plan”) is intended to reward employees who strive to achieve Company objectives for profitability. The Incentive Plan is also designed to retain key employees in the employ of the Company by providing additional pay
commensurate with results and effort. 
 Eligible Participants: Active employees of the Company who, during Fiscal Year 2012, hold the title of
Vice President or other Officer title and otherwise satisfy the requirements identified under “Guidelines” below (“Participants”). 
 Incentive Plan Overview: 
 The Incentive Plan for Fiscal Year 2012 provides for the payment
of incentives to Participants based upon (i) the Company’s achievement of financial targets based on key performance indicators and (ii) the successful completion of individual performance objectives (MBOs). 

The key financial indicator of the Company’s performance is EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization). This indicator
measures the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from Operations necessary for continued investment or to pay down debt and lower overall interest. 
 The other indicator for Participants is based upon the Participant’s successful achievement of performance objectives (MBOs) as submitted by the Participant and approved by his/her supervisor. This
indicator evaluates how well a Participant achieves pre-determined goals in the advancement of the Company’s financial targets. There will be a subjective scale to reward a Participant’s partial achievement of objectives. 

Participants will be eligible to earn an “incentive payment” as described in the attached Fiscal Year 2012 Schedule for Calculating Incentives,
based upon the extent to which the key performance indicators and MBOs are determined to have been achieved. The incentive payments will be paid subject to the requirements identified under “Guidelines” below. The incentive payment may be
made in the form of cash and/or stock as determined in the sole discretion of the President. 
 The Incentive Plan will be administered by the
Vice-President, Human Resources and all determinations regarding the achievement of relevant performance indicators and MBOs shall be made by the President. All interpretations of the Incentive Plan and determinations regarding achievement of such
indicators and MBOs made by the President shall be final and binding on the Participants. The Incentive Plan (and any financial performance indicators and MBOs) can be amended, modified and/or terminated at any time by the President. 

 Incentive Plan Guidelines: 

 

	•	 	 Participants must be actively employed with the Company during Fiscal Year 2012 for a minimum of 6 months in order to be eligible to receive any
incentive payment. 

  

	•	 	 Participants must hold the title of Vice President or other Officer title for a minimum of 6 months during Fiscal Year 2012 in order to be eligible to
receive any incentive payment. 

  

	•	 	 Participation is retro-active to the first full month following hire date or transfer date after the 6-month waiting period.

  

	•	 	 Participants must be actively employed with the Company on the date incentive payments are made to be eligible for incentive payments.

  

	•	 	 Payments will be made typically within 60 days of the end of Fiscal Year 2012 but will be paid no later than 2 and  1/2 months after the end of Fiscal Year 2012.

  

	•	 	 The Incentive Plan pays a maximum at 105% of the business plan for Fiscal Year 2012. 

 

	•	 	 If a Participant has been with the Company for less than one year, but over 6 months, the incentive payment will be prorated to reflect length of
service during Fiscal Year 2012. 

  

	•	 	 In his sole discretion, the President may make adjustments to the incentive payment calculations or any incentive payments made that do not meet the
above criteria. 

 Definitions: 
 Fiscal Year 2012 – The period beginning February 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012. 
 Plan – The Business Plan as approved by the Board of Directors for Fiscal Year 2012. 

EBITDA – Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is measured against the Plan and the difference in dollars is then
compared to the Planned EBITDA to result in the favorability. For example, if the Branch Planned EBITDA for the month equaled $200,000 and the actual result was $300,000, the Branch would be 50% ahead of Plan ($300,000 – $200,000) / $200,000.
EBITDA performance will be based upon cumulative performance over the Fiscal Year 2012 versus Plan. 
 Return on Net Assets (RONA) =
EBITDA / NET ASSETS (as of the month-ending balances). 
 For purposes of benchmarking versus Plan, the Branch, Region or Division, will receive
reporting that compares the actual EBITDA / net assets as a percentage versus the relative difference to the Plan percentage. For example, if a Branch has a Planned RONA of 15% and the actual percentage is 20% then they are 33% ( 20% - 15% ) / 15%
ahead of Plan. Each month the return will be calculated and the average of the monthly actual RONA % will be compared to the YTD average of the Planned RONA % to determine favorability. 

 Net Assets – The Incentive Plan definition of net assets is equal to gross fixed assets
(including non-rental inventory, such as trucks, office equipment, etc.) minus accumulated depreciation. 
 Revenue – The Incentive
Plan definition of revenue includes all rental revenue recorded by the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 
 MBOs – Management by
Objective: MBOs are predetermined objectives for Participants that identify Company goals and indicate how Participants can contribute to the successful achievement of these goals. 
 Officer – An employee who has been named by the Board of Directors as an officer of the Company.
