EXECUTION COPY

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Severance Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the Effective Date (as such term is defined below) by and between United Rentals, Inc. (“URI”) (URI and its subsidiaries, parents and other affiliates are referred to collectively as the “Company”), and Kenneth Dewitt (“Employee”).  The purpose of this Agreement is to memorialize URI's offer to provide Employee with the severance pay and benefits described in Section 2 below in consideration for the promises and undertakings by Employee as set forth herein.  This Agreement shall become effective as described in Section 10 below, provided that it is executed and delivered no later than the time and date set forth in Section 9 below.

1.    Separation of Employment.  Employee agrees that Employee's last day of employment with the Company was November 16, 2011 (the “Separation Date”). 

2.    Consideration.  Although, in the absence of this Agreement, URI is not required to make any severance payments to Employee, URI, in exchange for Employee's execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall provide Employee with the following: (a) 52 weeks (the “Severance Period”) of pay at a rate of $6,057.70 per week, paid in two-week increments in accordance with URI's regular payroll schedule and procedures, subject to applicable withholdings; (b) a payment of $191,730.00 (paid at a rate of $3,687.12 per week for 52 weeks), paid in two-week increments in accordance with URI's regular payroll schedule and procedures, subject to applicable withholdings; and (c) URI-paid medical and dental coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) for the duration of 18 months, provided that Employee is actively enrolled in the Company's medical and dental plans as of the Separation Date, provided that Employee makes a timely COBRA election to continue such medical and dental coverage, and provided further that URI may require Employee to pay any or all of the cost of such COBRA coverage from and after the date, if any, that Employee obtains alternate coverage from a new employer.  Employee understands that this URI-paid COBRA coverage is subject to applicable withholdings.  Employee agrees to promptly inform URI if Employee becomes eligible for medical and/or dental coverage from a new employer prior to the end of the Severance Period.  The payments described above shall commence as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, but no earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Separation Date, and regarding the payments described in Section 2(a) and 2(b) above, the first of such payments shall be equal to the amounts that would have been paid had payments begun immediately after the Separation Date.

3.    No Admission of Liability.  The fact that URI is offering this Agreement to Employee should not be understood as an admission of liability or fault by URI or any of the other “Released Parties” (as defined below) or that any of the Released Parties has violated Employee's rights (or the rights of anyone else), any statute or law, or breached any duty or obligation in any manner whatsoever.

4.    Release and other Promises. The intent of this Section is to secure Employee's promise not to sue the Company, or any individual or entity connected with the Company or any of the other Released Parties, for any harm Employee may claim to have suffered in connection with Employee's employment or the termination of Employee's employment.  Accordingly, in exchange for the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Employee (on his/her own behalf and on behalf of his/her dependents, heirs, executors, trustees and administrators (and his/her and their legal representatives of every kind)) hereby agrees as follows:

		
	(a)

Employee hereby releases and forever discharges URI, its respective direct and indirect parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and benefit plans, and each such entities' present and former and/or future “Representatives” (as defined below), as well as any predecessors, future successors or assigns or estates of any of the foregoing (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Released Parties”), from any and all liabilities, causes of action, suits, proceedings, agreements, promises, damages, disputes, controversies, contentions, grievances, differences, judgments, debts, claims and demands of any kind whatsoever, both in law and in equity, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, that are capable of being released by private agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Claims”), and which (i) Employee may have or claim to have based upon or in any way related to Employee's employment or termination of 

employment with the Company, or (ii) otherwise involve facts that occurred on or prior to the date that Employee signed this Agreement.

	(f)
	Nondisparagement.  Employee hereby covenants and promises not to make any disparaging remarks or statements, orally or in writing, and regardless of whether or not such remarks or statements are truthful, nor take any actions, which (i) in any way could disparage the Company or any of the other Released Parties, or which could harm the reputation and/or goodwill of the Company or any of the other Released Parties, or (ii) in any way, directly or indirectly, could cause or encourage or condone the making of such statements or the taking of such actions by anyone else.

Nothing contained herein shall adversely affect or impair the Company's right to enforce any of the restrictive covenants or other post-employment obligations contained in the employment agreement between the Company and Employee, dated April 1, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”).  Employee agrees that Employee's post-employment obligations under the Employment Agreement shall remain in effect and enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement and Employee hereby reaffirms those obligations.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, the consideration described in Section 2 above discharges any obligation of the Company to provide Employee with any payments that may be described within the Employment Agreement, and Employee has no right to any such payments now or in the future.

	(a)
	Sufficiency of Consideration.  The payments and benefits received by Employee pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement in exchange for the release contained in Section 4 and the other promises contained in this Agreement, are greater in value than anything else which Employee may have otherwise been entitled under any other agreement or Company separation, benefit or compensation policy if Employee did not execute this Agreement;

Employee furthermore affirms that Employee has been provided and/or has not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act and/or any applicable federal or state law, that Employee has not filed or caused to be filed any Claim related to such leave and that no basis for a Claim related thereto exists;
