(b)                                  In consideration of the cancelation and termination of each Company Stock Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time, Parent shall issue an option to purchase United Rentals Common Shares (each, a “ Substitute Stock Option ”).  Each Substitute Stock Option generally shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Stock Option in respect of which such Substitute Stock Option was granted immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any vesting provisions), provided that (i) each Substitute Stock Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole United Rentals Common Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (w) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock that were issuable upon the exercise of the Company Stock Option (or portion thereof) in respect of which such Substitute Stock Option was granted immediately prior to the Effective Time and (x) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the per share exercise price for the United Rentals Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Substitute Stock Option shall equal the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of (y) the exercise price per share of Company Class A Common

(c)                                   In consideration of the cancelation and termination of each Company Stock Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and vested (based solely on the terms of the applicable Company Stock Option and without the exercise of any discretion by Company or any other person) as of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to pay the holder thereof an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration, minus the per share exercise price for the Company Class A Common Stock issuable under such Company Stock Option (or portion thereof), multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (or portion thereof) as of the Effective Time.

(d)                                  At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award in respect of shares of Company Class A Common Stock granted by Company, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (a “ Company Restricted Stock Unit Award ” and, together with the Company Stock Options, the “ Company Equity Awards ”) shall be canceled and shall cease to be outstanding and shall not be assumed.

(e)                                   In consideration of the cancelation and termination of each Company Restricted Stock Unit Award that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time, Parent shall issue an award of time-vesting restricted stock units (each a “ Substitute RSU Award ”) relating to the number of United Rentals Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock with respect to which such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award was unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.  Each Substitute RSU Award issued pursuant to this Section 1.7(e)  generally shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any time-based vesting schedule) as applied to the related Company Restricted Stock Unit Award in respect of which such Substitute RSU Award was granted, provided that any performance vesting condition shall be waived.

(g)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Substitute Stock Options and the Substitute RSU Awards will be revised to reflect that such awards are in respect of United Rentals Common Shares, and may contain such modifications to the Company Equity Awards as Parent deems appropriate to reflect the

5

consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Company becoming a Subsidiary of Parent.

(h)                                  Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the Company Equity Awards to be treated as set forth in this Section 1.7 , including, without limitation, the Company Board and its compensation committee, as applicable, adopting any resolutions and taking all other actions (including providing any required notices and obtaining any required consents) that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.7 .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each holder of vested Company Stock Options shall be entitled to exercise his or her vested Company Stock Options prior to the Effective Time by tendering to Company a check in the full amount of their respective exercise price, in which case such holder shall be treated as a holder of Company Class A Common Stock under Section 1.5 .  Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable to the holders of the Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries is required to withhold from such holders in connection with such payments under the Code or any other provision of Tax Laws.  To the extent withheld and deducted, such amounts shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the applicable Governmental Entity on behalf of the applicable holders of the Company Equity Awards and treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable holders of the Company Equity Awards.

1.9                                Directors of the Surviving Corporation .  Each of the parties hereto shall take all necessary action to cause the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.  The officers of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a)                                  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into a paying agent agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Company with a paying agent designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “ Paying Agent ”).  At or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited by Merger Sub, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II , cash in an amount sufficient to allow the Paying Agent to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the shares of Company Class A Common Stock represented by the Old Certificates, other than Dissenting Shares and shares to be cancelled and retired pursuant to Sections 1.5(b)  and (d)  (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “ Payment Fund ”).  The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by Parent, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Old Certificates.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or as otherwise directed by Parent.  As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) calendar days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Class A Common Stock at the Effective Time (other than any shares to be cancelled and retired pursuant to Sections 1.5(b)  and (d) ), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery or transfer, as applicable, of the Old Certificates to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration (the “ Letter of Transmittal ”).  For the avoidance of doubt, no amount payable in respect of the Company Equity Awards shall be included in the Payment Fund.

(b)                                  Each holder of shares of Company Class A Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (other than the Dissenting Shares and any shares cancelled and retired pursuant to Sections 1.5(b) and (d) ) shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Class A Common Stock represented by an Old Certificate as promptly as reasonably practicable following (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of an Old Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.1(f) ), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Paying Agent (or receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of book-entry shares, together with such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Paying Agent).  No interest will be paid or accrued with respect to any property to be delivered upon surrender of Old Certificates.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.1(b) , each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration.

(c)                                   If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered or transferred Old Certificate, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Old Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer (in the case of a book-entry share, such Old Certificate shall be properly transferred), and (ii) the person requesting such exchange shall

7

pay to the Paying Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of such payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Old Certificate, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d)                                  After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e)                                   Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation.  Any former stockholders of Company who have not theretofore exchanged their Old Certificates pursuant to this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration, in each case, without any interest thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(f)                                    In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, and following the Paying Agent’s receipt of Letter of Transmittal required by this Section 2.1 with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration.

2.2                                Appraisal Rights .  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock the holder of which has not voted in favor of, or otherwise consented to, the adoption of this Agreement and that is entitled to and has properly perfected his, her or its right to dissent under Section 262 of the DGCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time with respect to such shares (the “ Dissenting Shares ”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to receive payment of the appraised value of Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except as provided in this Section 2.2 .  Company shall give Parent prompt written notice upon receipt by Company of any such demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable Law with respect to appraisal rights (any stockholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “ Dissenting Stockholder ”).  Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make, or commit or agree to make, any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal or payment, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Stockholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the DGCL.  Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in

8

and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands.  Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation.
