GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION

WARRANT

Warrant No.                      Date of Original Issuance:                     , 2010

     General Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that,
for value received,                      or its registered assigns (the
“Holder” ), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of                      shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each
such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price
equal to $4.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price” ),
at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof and to and including                      , 2013 (the “Expiration Date” ), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. This warrant and any warrants issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, are
referred to herein as the “Warrant.”

     1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record
Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this
Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to
the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

     2. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion
of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of
Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified
herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant
evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the
transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed
the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

     3. Exercise and Duration of Warrants. This Warrant shall be exercisable by the
registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the Expiration Date. At 11:59 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

     4. Delivery of Warrant Shares; Disposition of Warrants and Warrant Shares.

          (a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant. Execution and delivery via facsimile of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than
all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and
issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
Execution and delivery via facsimile of the Exercise Notice for all of the Warrant Shares shall
have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares.
Upon such delivery of the attached Exercise Notice to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares
Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the then-applicable
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase
hereunder, the Company shall on or before the third (3rd ) Trading Day after
receipt thereof issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon
such exercise. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which
the registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-163851) relating to the rights offering (the “
Registration Statement ”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the
Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions (“DTC”), if available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not, be required to
change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares
electronically through the DTC. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Holder shall have
delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it)
via facsimile, appropriately completed and duly

 

 

signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the
Holder to be purchased as provided above. On the Date of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to
the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares
(as the case may be).

          (b) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance
with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the
Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the
recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder
or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law
by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise
limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant
Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or to credit such shares to the
Holder’s DTC account (as the case may be) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

          (c) The Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) may only be disposed of
in compliance with state and federal securities laws and in accordance with the prospectus included
in the Registration Statement.

          (d) The Warrants shall contain the legend set forth above and the stock certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as the
Registration Statement becomes effective or it is otherwise not required under state and federal
securities laws:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE
SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B)
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY OR (II) RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

     5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue
or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other similar incidental tax or expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or
Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any of its affiliates. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

     6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and a
customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New
Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver
such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue
the New Warrant.

     7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments
and restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Warrants
remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the
Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants
then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”), then the Company shall as promptly as practicable
thereafter take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to
an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Warrants
then outstanding.

     8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
8.

          (a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its

 

 

Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then
in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event
requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is
calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately
to reflect such event.

          (b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1)
the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (2) the
Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is
completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of
the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
“Fundamental Transaction” ), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have
been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been,
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration” ). For purposes of
any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are
given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The terms of any
agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any
such surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the
Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

          (c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, unless waived in writing by the Holder with respect to a
particular adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the
same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

          (d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale
of Common Stock.

          (e) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant and promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a
statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions
giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based. Upon written request of a Holder, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such
certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

          (f) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including,
without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital
stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes
the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such
transaction, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a
Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to
deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be described in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information, the Company shall simultaneously file
such notice pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

     9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by delivery to
the Company of immediately available funds.

     10. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not
have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase
any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

     11. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in
connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In

 

 

lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal
to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the shares of Common Stock for
the Trading Day period immediately preceding the Date of Exercise.

     12. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this
Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any
Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the
party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be:
(i) if to the Company, to General Finance Corporation, 39 East Union Street, Pasadena, California
91103, Facsimile: (626) 795-8090, Attention: General Counsel, or such other address as the Company
shall so notify the Holder, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing
on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the
Company in accordance with this Section.

     13. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into
which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or
shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any
further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as
warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s
last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

     14. Additional Definitions. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

     (a) “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture,
