(“Borrower”), and Ronald Valenta (“Lender”), with reference to the following facts.

     (a)  Borrower has been organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business (a “Business
Combination”).

     (b)  Borrower proposes to: (a) make a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of its
securities pursuant to a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed with
and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (b) deposit
the proceeds from the Public Offering into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the
benefit of the purchasers of securities in the Public Offering, net of offering costs, underwriting
discounts and a financial advisory fee, to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of
the Investment Management Trust Agreement to be entered into between Borrower and Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company as trustee (the “Trust Agreement”); and (c) utilize the funds in
the Trust Account in connection with a Business Combination.

     (c)  Borrower may need funds to pay costs and expenses prior to consummation of a Business
Combination.

     (d)  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender is willing
to make available to Borrower a revolving line of credit to pay certain costs and expenses that may
arise prior to a Business Combination (the “Loan”).

     1.1  Lender agrees to make advances to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to repay such advances,
from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the form of

that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at no time shall the aggregate of
all advances and readvances outstanding under the Loan at any time exceed $1,750,000. This

other Loan Documents to be executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto and to perform its
obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and such Loan Documents constitute the valid
and legally binding obligations of the Borrower and are enforceable against Borrower in accordance
with their terms.

          3.1.2  Neither the execution and the delivery of the Loan Documents by Borrower, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents,
nor

2

 

the borrowing by Borrower, will (a) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule,
injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government,
governmental agency, or court to which Borrower is subject or any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Borrower, or (b) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a
default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any entity or natural person (each, a
“Person”) the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, any agreement, contract,
lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Borrower is a party or by which it is
bound or to which any of its assets are subject (or result in the imposition of any security
interest upon any of its assets), in each case other than where such violation, conflict, breach,
default, acceleration or creation of right would not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the ability of Borrower to repay amounts due under the Note in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents. (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

          3.1.3  Borrower does not need to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any
authorization, permit, certificate, registration, consent, approval or order of any government or
governmental agency in order for the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, except whether the failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          3.1.4  The conditions to the obligation of Lender to make the advance, as set forth in Section
2, shall be satisfied.

     3.2  Each and every representation and warranty made by Borrower in this Agreement shall be
deemed renewed and remade upon the making of each and every advance or readvance under the Note
that Lender may make.

4.  Borrower
Covenants.  For as long as Lender shall have a commitment to make advances or there
shall be any outstanding balance on the Loan, without the prior consent of Lender, Borrower shall:

     4.1  use the proceeds only for: (a) prior to the closing of the Public Offering, costs and
expenses of the Offering, including legal, accounting, printing and “road show” expenses; and (b)
after the Closing of the Offering, ordinary and reasonable operating costs and expenses during the
period Borrower seeks to identify, investigate, negotiate and consummate a Business Combination,
including Borrower’s reporting obligations with the SEC, the audit and review of Borrower’s
financial statements, identifying and investigating potential targets for a Business Combination,
negotiating and closing the Business Combination, legal and other professional fees and expenses,
fees, salaries and compensation for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors, and
insurance premiums;

     4.2  within three business days following the closing of the Public Offering, pay all
outstanding principal and interest on the Loan and the Note outstanding as of the closing of the
Public Offering to the extent such amounts were borrowed in respect of offering costs for which
Borrower may utilize the funds held by it which were not deposited into the Trust Account;

     4.3  not declare or pay any dividend or distribution with respect to, or repurchase or redeem
any shares of, the capital stock of Borrower, provided that this shall not prohibit

3

 

payments from the Trust Account to stockholders of Borrower in accordance with the Trust
Agreement;

     4.4  not engage in any business other than identifying, investigating, negotiating and closing
a Business Combination;

     4.5  make any material capital expenditure or purchase any material property or asset (other
than office supplies and equipment); and

     4.6  upon request of Lender, provide to Lender copies of all filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

5.  No Recourse to Trust Account

Lender, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges and agrees that
under no circumstance shall Lender have any right, title or interest in or to any of the funds in
the Trust Account, notwithstanding the fact that such funds were received for the purchase and sale
of securities of Borrower, or any funds distributed from the Trust Account other than in a Business
Combination Distribution (as defined below), and that its sole recourse for repayment of any and
all amounts due under the Note shall be against the assets or properties of Borrower never
deposited into the Trust Account or distributed to Borrower from the Trust Account in a Business
Combination Distribution. Lender hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it might have to funds
in the Trust Account, and any funds distributed from the Trust Account other than in a Business
Combination Distribution, at law or in equity, agrees not to make any such claim, and agrees to
indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any such claim made by or on behalf of Lender. For
purposes of this Section 5, a “Business Combination Distribution” means a distribution from
the Trust Account in connection with the consummation of Business Combination pursuant to the Trust
Agreement.

of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default
(an “Event of Default”) hereunder and under each and every other Loan Document:

     6.1  The Borrower shall fail to pay any principal, interest or any other amount as and when due
and payable under any Loan Document;

     6.2  Any representation or warranty which is made or deemed made in any Loan Document by the
Borrower shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect on or as of the
date made or deemed made or remade;

     6.3  The Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any term, provision, covenant, or agreement
contained in any Loan Document to be performed or observed by the Borrower (other than any payment
obligation) and such failure shall continue more than 20 days after notice thereof from Lender;

     6.4  The Borrower shall (a) generally not, or be unable to, or admit in writing its inability
to, pay its debts as such debts become due; or (b) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, or trustee for
it or a substantial part of its assets; or (c) commence any proceeding under any

4

 

bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, or liquidation law
or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or (d) have any such petition
or application filed or any such proceeding commenced against it in which an order for relief is
entered or adjudication or appointment is made and which remains undismissed for a period of 30
days or more; or (e) by any act or omission to act indicate consent to, approval of, or
acquiescence in any such petition, application, or proceeding, or order for relief, or the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, or trustee for all or any such substantial part of its
properties; or (f) suffer any such custodianship, receivership, or trusteeship for all or any
substantial part of its properties; or (g) suffer any such custodianship, receivership, or
trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of 30 days or more; or

     6.5  At any time after execution and delivery of this Agreement, and for any reason at no fault
of Lender, any Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect and enforceable in
accordance with its terms, or shall be declared null and void.

7.  Consequences
of Default.  If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender:

     7.1  shall have no further obligation to make advances under the Loan Documents; and

     7.2  may declare the Note, all interest thereon, and all other amounts payable under this
Agreement and any other Loan Document to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Note, all such
interest, and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment,

Borrower.

Re: General Finance Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter will confirm the agreement of the undersigned to purchase warrants (“Warrants”) of
General Finance Corporation (“Company”) included in the units (“Units”) being sold in the Company’s
initial public offering (“IPO”) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Unit is
comprised of one share of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common

determine, in its sole discretion, during the forty-trading day period described above.

     As the date hereof, the undersigned represents and warrants that it is not aware of any
material nonpublic information concerning the Company or any securities of the Company and is

into or altering a corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Company’s
securities. The undersigned further agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate
any material nonpublic information relating to the Company or the Company’s securities to any
employee of the Representatives or the Broker. The undersigned does not have, and shall not attempt
to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases of Warrants pursuant to
this agreement or the plan or agreement with the Broker.

 

 

     The undersigned shall instruct the Broker to make, keep, and produce promptly upon request a
daily time-sequenced schedule of all Warrant purchases made pursuant to this agreement, on a
transaction-by-transaction basis, including (i) size, time of execution, price of purchase; and
(ii) the exchange, quotation system, or other facility through which the Warrant purchase occurred.

     Each
of the undersigned agrees: (i) not to sell or transfer any of
the Warrants purchased by him pursuant to this letter agreement until
after the consummation a Business Combination (as defined in the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company); and (ii) the
certificates for such Warrants shall contain a legend indicating such
restriction on transferability.

Kind regards,
