United Rentals (North America), Inc.

$750,000,000          % Senior Notes due 2025
$750,000,000 4.875% Senior Notes due 2028



We are offering $750,000,000 of               % Senior Notes due 2025, which we refer to as the "2025 notes" and $750,000,000 of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2028, which we refer to as the "2028 notes" (and together with the 2025 notes, the "notes"). We will pay interest on the 2025 notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. We will pay interest on the 2028 notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The first such interest payment for the 2025 notes and the 2028 notes will be made on October 15, 2017 and January 15, 2018, respectively. The 2025 notes will mature on October 15, 2025 and the 2028 notes will mature on January 15, 2028.

The 2028 notes will have terms that are substantially identical to those of our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2028 issued on August 11, 2017 (the "existing 2028 notes"), other than the issue date, the issue price and the mandatory redemption provisions applicable to the 2028 notes described herein relating to our planned acquisition of Neff Corporation (the "Neff Acquisition"), but will be issued under a separate indenture. As a result, the 2028 notes offered hereby will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes and will not be treated as a single series with the existing 2028 notes at any point for any purpose. Promptly following the closing of the Neff Acquisition, we intend to use our commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a registered exchange offer for the 2028 notes offered hereby. In the exchange offer, we plan to offer to holders of the 2028 notes offered hereby the opportunity to exchange their 2028 notes for additional existing 2028 notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes. Any additional existing 2028 notes received in exchange for the 2028 notes offered hereby in such exchange offer are expected to be fungible with and treated as part of the same series as the existing 2028 notes for all purposes (including for U.S. federal income tax purposes), including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes. However, if for any reason we decide, in our sole discretion, that it is not practical or that it is inadvisable to issue additional existing 2028 notes under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes or to conduct the exchange offer, the 2028 notes issued hereby will remain outstanding and will not be fungible with or treated as part of the same series as the existing 2028 notes. In addition, if we complete such exchange offer but you do not exchange your 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes and the liquidity of any market for your 2028 notes may be limited. See "Description of the 2028 Notes—Exchange Offer" and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—If we do not complete the offer to exchange your 2028 notes for additional notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes or if we complete such exchange offer and you do not exchange your 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not vote as a single series with the existing 2028 notes and the liquidity of any market for your 2028 notes may be limited."

2025 notes. We may redeem some or all of the 2025 notes on or after October 15, 2020, at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We also may redeem some or all of the 2025 notes at any time prior to October 15, 2020, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, at any time on or prior to October 15, 2020, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to          % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

2028 notes. We may redeem some or all of the 2028 notes on or after January 15, 2023, at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We also may redeem some or all of the 2028 notes at any time prior to January 15, 2023, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, at any time on or prior to January 15, 2021, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

On August 16, 2017, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Neff Merger Agreement") with Neff Corporation ("Neff"), pursuant to which we have agreed to effect the Neff Acquisition. If (i) the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before August 16, 2018 (the "Acquisition Deadline"), (ii) the Company has determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline and gives the Trustee a written notice to that effect, or (iii) the Neff Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, we will be required to redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but not including, the redemption date. Once the Neff Acquisition closes, and the mandatory redemption provisions relating to the Neff Acquisition no longer apply, we intend to use our commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an exchange offer for the 2028 notes. See "Description of the 2025 Notes—Mandatory Redemption" and "Description of the 2028 Notes—Mandatory Redemption" and "—Exchange Offer."

The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, effectively junior to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. Our obligations under the notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our parent company, United Rentals, Inc. and, subject to limited exceptions, our current and future domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness, effectively junior to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantors.

Our foreign subsidiaries will not be guarantors. The notes will be issued only in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

For a more detailed description of the notes, see "Description of the 2025 Notes" and "Description of the 2028 Notes."

The notes offered by this prospectus supplement will not be listed on any securities exchange. Currently, there is no public market for the notes.

Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-25 of this prospectus supplement and "Item 1A—Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Table of Contents

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

        This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of notes and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. If the description of the offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement.

        Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, (1) the term "URNA" refers to United Rentals (North America), Inc., the issuer of the notes, and not to its parent or any of its subsidiaries, (2) the term "Holdings" refers to United Rentals, Inc., the parent of URNA and a guarantor of the notes, and not to any of its subsidiaries, and (3) the terms "United Rentals," "we," "us," our," "our company" or "the Company" refer to Holdings and its subsidiaries.

        We are responsible for the information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to give you any other information, and we take no responsibility for any other information that others may give you. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference herein is accurate or complete as of any date other than the date of the applicable document. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

        We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). You may read and copy any documents filed by us with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the operation of the Public Reference Room. Our filings with the SEC are also available to the public through the SEC's Internet website at http://www.sec.gov.

EXTENDED SETTLEMENT

        We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about September         , 2017, which will be the tenth business day following the date of pricing of the notes, or "T+10." Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next seven succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially settle in T+10, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

        The SEC's rules allow us to "incorporate by reference" the documents that we file with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. Any information referred to in this way is considered part of this prospectus supplement from the date we file that document. Any reports filed by us with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement will automatically update and, where applicable, supersede any information contained in this prospectus supplement.

        We incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement the following documents or information filed by us with the SEC (other than, in each case, documents (or portions thereof) or information deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with SEC rules and regulations):

        We will provide, free of charge, to each person, including any beneficial owner, to whom this prospectus supplement is delivered, upon his or her written or oral request, a copy of any or all documents referred to above which have been or may be incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, excluding exhibits to those documents, unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference into those documents. You can request those documents from United Rentals, Inc. at 100 First Stamford Place, Suite 700, Stamford, Connecticut, 06902, Attention: Corporate Secretary, telephone number (203) 618-7342.

SUMMARY

        This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the notes. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the financial data and related notes, before making an investment decision.


Our Company

        United Rentals is the largest equipment rental company in the world. Our customer service network consists of 960 rental locations in the United States and Canada as well as centralized call centers and online capabilities. We offer approximately 3,300 classes of equipment for rent to construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners, government entities and other customers. In 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017, we generated total revenue of $5.8 billion and $3.0 billion, including $4.9 billion and $2.5 billion of equipment rental revenue, respectively.

        As of June 30, 2017, our fleet of rental equipment included approximately 480,000 units. The total original equipment cost of our fleet ("OEC"), based on the initial consideration paid, was $10.3 billion at June 30, 2017. The fleet includes:

        In addition to renting equipment, we sell new and used equipment as well as related parts and service, and contractor supplies.

        Our principal executive offices are located at 100 First Stamford Place, Suite 700, Stamford, Connecticut, 06902, and our telephone number is (203) 622-3131.


Business Strategy

        For the past several years, we have executed a strategy focused on improving the profitability of our core equipment rental business through revenue growth, margin expansion and operational efficiencies. In particular, we have focused on customer segmentation, customer service differentiation, rate management, fleet management and operational efficiency.

S-1


Table of Contents

        In 2017, we expect to continue our disciplined focus on increasing our profitability and return on invested capital. In particular, our strategy calls for:


Competitive Advantages

        We believe that we benefit from the following competitive advantages:

        Large and Diverse Rental Fleet.    Our large and diverse fleet allows us to serve large customers that require substantial quantities and/or wide varieties of equipment. We believe our ability to serve such customers should allow us to improve our performance and enhance our market leadership position.

        We manage our rental fleet, which is the largest and most comprehensive in the industry, utilizing a life-cycle approach that focuses on satisfying customer demand and optimizing utilization levels. As part of this life-cycle approach, we closely monitor repair and maintenance expense and can anticipate, based on our extensive experience with a large and diverse fleet, the optimum time to dispose of an asset. Our fleet age, which is calculated on an OEC-weighted basis, was 46.7 months at June 30, 2017.

        Significant Purchasing Power.    We purchase large amounts of equipment, contractor supplies and other items, which enables us to negotiate favorable pricing, warranty and other terms with our vendors.

S-2


Table of Contents

        National Account Program.    Our national account sales force is dedicated to establishing and expanding relationships with large companies, particularly those with a national or multi-regional presence. National accounts are generally defined as customers with potential annual equipment rental spend of at least $500,000 or customers doing business in multiple states. We offer our national account customers the benefits of a consistent level of service across North America, a wide selection of equipment and a single point of contact for all their equipment needs. National accounts are a subset of key accounts, which are our accounts that are managed by a single point of contact. Establishing a single point of contact for our key accounts helps us provide customer service management that is more consistent and satisfactory. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 45 percent of our equipment rental revenue was derived from national accounts, and 70 percent of our equipment rental revenue was derived from accounts, including national accounts and other key accounts, that are managed by a single point of contact.

        Operating Efficiencies.    We benefit from the following operating efficiencies:

        Information Technology Systems.    We have a wide variety of information technology systems, some proprietary and some licensed, that supports our operations. Our information technology infrastructure facilitates our ability to make rapid and informed decisions, respond quickly to changing market conditions and share rental equipment among branches. We have an in-house team of information technology specialists that supports our systems.

        Our information technology systems are accessible to management, branch and call center personnel. Leveraging information technology to achieve greater efficiencies and improve customer service is a critical element of our strategy. Each branch is equipped with one or more workstations that are electronically linked to our other locations and to our data center. Rental transactions can be entered at these workstations and processed on a real-time basis.

        Our information technology systems:

        We have a fully functional back-up facility designed to enable business continuity for our core rental and financial systems in the event that our main computer facility becomes inoperative. This back-up

S-3


Table of Contents

facility also allows us to perform system upgrades and maintenance without interfering with the normal ongoing operation of our information technology systems.

        Strong Brand Recognition.    As the largest equipment rental company in the world, we have strong brand recognition, which helps us to attract new customers and build customer loyalty.

        Geographic and Customer Diversity.    We have 960 rental locations in 49 U.S. states and every Canadian province and serve customers that range from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and homeowners. We believe that our geographic and customer diversity provides us with many advantages including:

        Strong and Motivated Branch Management.    Each of our full-service branches has a manager who is supervised by a district manager. We believe that our managers are among the most knowledgeable and experienced in the industry, and we empower them, within budgetary guidelines, to make day-to-day decisions concerning branch matters. Each regional office has a management team that monitors branch, district and regional performance with extensive systems and controls, including performance benchmarks and detailed monthly operating reviews.

        Employee Training Programs.    We are dedicated to providing training and development opportunities to our employees. In 2016, our employees enhanced their skills through approximately 500,000 hours of training, including safety training, sales and leadership training, equipment-related training from our suppliers and online courses covering a variety of relevant subjects.

        Risk Management and Safety Programs.    Our risk management department is staffed by experienced professionals directing the procurement of insurance, managing claims made against the Company, and developing loss prevention programs to address workplace safety, driver safety and customer safety. The department's primary focus is on the protection of our employees and assets, as well as protecting the Company from liability for accidental loss.


Pending Neff Acquisition

        On August 16, 2017, we entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Neff Merger Agreement") with Neff Corporation ("Neff"), pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire Neff (the "Neff Acquisition"). Under the Neff Merger Agreement, holders of Neff Class A common stock have the right to receive $25.00 in cash, without interest, less any deduction for withholding taxes required by applicable law, for each share of Neff Class A common stock, representing a total purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion. Immediately prior to entering into the Neff Merger Agreement, Neff terminated its previously announced merger agreement with H&E Equipment Services, Inc. ("H&E"). In connection with this termination, we paid H&E a termination fee of approximately $13 million on behalf of Neff.

        Neff is one of the ten largest equipment rental companies in the United States, with a presence in 14 states and a concentration in southern geographies. Based in Miami, Florida, Neff offers earthmoving, material handling, aerial and other equipment rental solutions to its more than 15,500 construction and industrial customers. Approximately 1,200 Neff employees and 69 branches serve end markets in the infrastructure, non-residential, energy, municipal and residential construction sectors. For the full year 2016, Neff generated approximately $39 million of net income and approximately $194 million of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, on approximately $397 million of total revenue. As of June 30, 2017, Neff had approximately $867 million of fleet based on OEC.

S-4


Table of Contents

        We expect that the addition of Neff's branch footprint and complementary fleet mix will add efficiencies of scale in key market areas, particularly fast-growing southern geographies. Neff's established presence in the infrastructure sector dovetails with our vertical growth initiatives, and is expected to lead to attractive revenue synergies through the cross-selling of our broader fleet, including its specialty offerings. The combined operations are expected to benefit from the expansion of earthmoving equipment as a component of our fleet mix, as well as Neff's best-in-class expertise in managing large earthmoving categories of equipment.

        The proposed merger is subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust clearance and other customary closing conditions. We expect the merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

        There are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to the Neff Acquisition. For example, the Neff Acquisition may not be completed, or may not be completed in the timeframe, on the terms or in the manner currently anticipated, as a result of a number of factors, including, among other things, the failure of one or more of the conditions to closing. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the Neff Acquisition will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to close the Neff Acquisition. For additional information, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Proposed Neff Acquisition".

        Neff defines "EBITDA" as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation of rental equipment and other depreciation and amortization. Neff defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to other items that Neff does not consider to be indicative of its ongoing operations, including, for the periods presented, rental split expense, equity-based compensation expense, adjustment to tax receivable agreement and loss (gain) on interest rate swap. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for Neff are not measures of performance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Neff's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of cash flow for Neff management's discretionary use, as they exclude certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA for Neff as presented in this prospectus supplement is defined differently from Adjusted EBITDA for the Company, and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by the Company or other companies. The Neff financial information has not been compiled or examined by our independent registered public accounting firm, nor has our independent registered public accounting firm performed any procedures with respect to this financial information or expressed any opinion or any form of assurance on such financial information. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on the Neff

Use of Proceeds   We anticipate that we will receive approximately $739 million in net proceeds from the sale of the 2025 notes, after underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of estimated fees and expenses.

Exchange Offer   The 2028 notes will have terms that are substantially identical to those of the existing 2028 notes, other than the issue date, the issue price and the mandatory redemption provisions applicable to the 2028 notes described herein relating to the Neff Acquisition, but will be issued under a separate indenture. We are not able to offer existing 2028 notes in this offering because the existing 2028 notes do not include the mandatory redemption provisions relating the Neff Acquisition described herein. As a result, the 2028 notes offered hereby will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes and will not be treated as a single series with the existing 2028 notes at any point for any purpose. Promptly following the completion of the Neff Acquisition, we intend to use our commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a registered exchange offer for the 2028 notes offered hereby. In the exchange offer, we plan to offer to holders of the 2028 notes offered hereby the opportunity to exchange their 2028 notes for additional existing 2028 notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes. Any additional existing 2028 notes received in exchange for the 2028 notes offered hereby in such exchange offer are expected to be fungible with and treated as part of the same series as the existing 2028 notes for all purposes, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes. However, if for any reason we decide, in our sole discretion, that it is not practical or that it is inadvisable to issue additional existing 2028 notes under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes or to conduct the exchange offer, the 2028 notes issued hereby will remain outstanding and will not be fungible with or treated as part of the same series as the existing 2028 notes. In addition, if we complete such exchange offer but you do not exchange your 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes and the liquidity of any market for your 2028 notes may be limited.

Pending the payment of the purchase price for the Neff Acquisition, the net proceeds from this offering will be applied to reduce borrowings under the ABL Facility. We expect to then borrow under the ABL Facility to fund the Neff Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.

 

 

If a mandatory redemption is required, borrowings under the ABL Facility and cash on hand will be used for such redemption. See "Description of the 2028 Notes—Mandatory Redemption."

Risk Factors

 

Investing in the 2028 notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the information under the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-24 and all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement prior to investing in the 2028 notes. In particular, we urge you to carefully consider the information set forth in the section titled "Risk Factors" and in "Item 1A—Risk Factors" of our Annual Report for a description of certain risks you should consider before investing in the 2028 notes.


Conflicts of Interest

        Because, pending the payment of the purchase price for the Neff Acquisition, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily repay indebtedness owed to the underwriters and certain affiliates of the underwriters who are lenders under the ABL Facility as described under "Use of Proceeds," there is a "conflict of interest" as that term is defined in the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). Accordingly, this offering is being made in compliance with FINRA Rule 5121. Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. is assuming the responsibility of acting as the qualified independent underwriter in preparing this prospectus supplement, in pricing the offering and conducting due diligence. No underwriter having a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121 will sell to a discretionary account any security with respect to which the conflict exists, unless the member has received specific written approval of the transaction from the account holder and retains documentation of the approval in its records.

Summary Historical Financial Information of United Rentals

        The following table sets forth our summary historical financial data for the periods, and as of the dates, indicated. The summary consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements and other information included in our Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference herein. The summary consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements and other information included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is not incorporated by reference herein. Our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, which is incorporated by reference herein.

        The historical data as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 has been derived from our unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements, which are included in our June 30, 2017 Quarterly Report and incorporated by reference herein and which have been prepared on a basis consistent with our annual consolidated financial statements. The historical data as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 has been derived from our unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements, which have been prepared on a basis consistent with our annual consolidated financial statements and are included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which is not incorporated by reference herein. In the opinion of management, such unaudited financial data reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period. Our revenues, operating results and financial condition fluctuate from quarter to quarter, reflecting the seasonal rental patterns of our customers, with rental activity tending to be lower in the winter.

        In April 2014, we acquired certain assets of the following four entities: National Pump & Compressor, Ltd., Canadian Pump and Compressor Ltd., GulfCo Industrial Equipment, LP and LD Services, LLC (collectively "National Pump"). In April 2017, we acquired NES Rentals Holdings II, Inc. ("NES"). The results of operations of National Pump and NES have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. The financial data below does not reflect or give pro forma effect to the Neff Acquisition.

        Our historical financial data is not necessarily indicative of our future performance. Because the data in this table is only a summary and does not provide all of the data contained in our financial statements, the information should be read in conjunction with the sections titled "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization" in this prospectus supplement, "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and related notes thereto in our Annual Report and "Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and related notes thereto in our June 30, 2017 Quarterly

EBITDA represents the sum of net income, provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of the merger related costs, restructuring charge, stock compensation expense, net, and the impact of the fair value mark-up of the acquired fleet of RSC Holdings Inc. ("RSC") and NES. These items are excluded from adjusted EBITDA internally when evaluating our operating performance and for strategic planning and forecasting purposes, and allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between our core business operating results over different periods of time, as well as with those of other similar companies. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period growth, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions. Additionally, management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA help investors gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of operating performance or liquidity.

Reflects transaction costs associated with the NES and National Pump acquisitions. We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and may continue to make acquisitions in the future. Merger related costs only include costs associated with major acquisitions that significantly impact our operations. The historic acquisitions that have included merger related costs are RSC, which had annual revenues of approximately $1.5 billion prior to the acquisition, and National Pump, which had annual revenues of over $200 million prior to the acquisition. NES had annual revenues of approximately $369 million. The income for the year ended December 31, 2015 reflects a decline in the fair value of the contingent cash consideration component of the National Pump purchase price.

Primarily reflects severance and branch closure charges associated with our closed restructuring programs and our current restructuring program. We only include such costs that are part of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. Since the first such restructuring program was initiated in 2008, we have completed three restructuring programs. We have cumulatively incurred total restructuring charges of $253 million under our restructuring programs.

RISK FACTORS

        Investing in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the risk factors incorporated by reference herein, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before you invest in the notes. Certain risks related to us and our business are contained in the section titled "Item 1A—Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (and in any of our annual or quarterly reports for a subsequent year or quarter that we file with the SEC and that are so incorporated). See "Where You Can Find More Information" on page S-ii of this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus for information about how to obtain a copy of these documents. The risks and uncertainties described below and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected. In that case, the value of the notes could decline substantially.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness

Our significant indebtedness exposes us to various risks.

        At June 30, 2017, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the ABL Facility to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the notes and guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," our total indebtedness was $9.6 billion. Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition in a number of ways by, among other things:

S-25


Table of Contents

        A portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable rates that are linked to changing market interest rates. As a result, an increase in market interest rates would increase our interest expense and our debt service obligations. At June 30, 2017, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the ABL Facility to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the notes and guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom, we had $2.3 billion of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, representing 24 percent of our total indebtedness.

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash and our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

        We depend on cash on hand and cash flows from operations to make scheduled debt payments. To a significant extent, our ability to do so is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay our indebtedness when it becomes due and to meet our other cash needs. If we are unable to service our indebtedness and fund our operations, we will have to adopt an alternative strategy that may include:

        Even if we adopt an alternative strategy, the strategy may not be successful and we may continue to be unable to service our indebtedness and fund our operations.

We may not be able to refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms, if at all. Our inability to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ongoing results of operations.

        Our ability to refinance indebtedness will depend in part on our operating and financial performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. In addition, prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase our interest expense. A refinancing of our indebtedness could also require us to comply with more onerous covenants and further restrict our business operations. Our inability to refinance our indebtedness or to do so upon attractive terms could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and make us vulnerable to adverse industry and general economic conditions.

S-26


Table of Contents

We may be able to incur substantially more debt and take other actions that could diminish our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, when due, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our current level of indebtedness.

        Despite our indebtedness level, we may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness in the future and such indebtedness may be secured indebtedness. The terms of the indenture governing the notes will not prohibit us from incurring unsecured debt and the limitation on incurring secured debt is subject to important limitations, qualifications and exceptions. The indentures or agreements governing our current indebtedness permit us to recapitalize our debt or take a number of other actions, any of which could diminish our ability to make payments on our indebtedness when due and further exacerbate the risks associated with our current level of indebtedness. If new debt is added to our or any of our existing and future subsidiaries' current debt, the related risks that we now face could intensify and we may not be able to meet all our debt obligations, including repayment of the notes in whole or in part. If we incur any secured debt it will be effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and if we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of our business.

If we are unable to satisfy the financial and other covenants in certain of our debt agreements, our lenders could elect to terminate the agreements and require us to repay the outstanding borrowings, or we could face other substantial costs.

        The only financial covenant that currently exists under the ABL Facility is the fixed charge coverage ratio. Subject to certain limited exceptions specified in the ABL Facility, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the ABL Facility will only apply in the future if specified availability under the ABL Facility falls below 10 percent of the maximum revolver amount under the ABL Facility. When certain conditions are met, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing base collateral in excess of the ABL Facility size may be included when calculating specified availability under the ABL Facility. As of December 31, 2016, specified availability under the ABL Facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, the maintenance covenant was inapplicable. Under our accounts receivable securitization facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain certain financial tests relating to: (i) the default ratio, (ii) the delinquency ratio, (iii) the dilution ratio and (iv) days sales outstanding. The accounts receivable securitization facility also requires us to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio under the ABL Facility, to the extent the ratio is applicable under the ABL Facility. If we are unable to satisfy these or any of the other relevant covenants, the lenders could elect to terminate the ABL Facility and/or the accounts receivable securitization facility and require us to repay outstanding borrowings. In such event, unless we are able to refinance the indebtedness coming due and replace the ABL Facility, accounts receivable securitization facility and/or the other agreements governing our debt, we would likely not have sufficient liquidity for our business needs and would be forced to adopt an alternative strategy as described above. Even if we adopt an alternative strategy, the strategy may not be successful and we may not have sufficient liquidity to service our debt and fund our operations. Future debt arrangements we enter into may contain similar provisions.

Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial and operational flexibility.

        In addition to financial covenants, various other covenants in the ABL Facility, accounts receivable securitization facility and the other agreements governing our debt impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our restricted subsidiaries. Such covenants include, among other things, limitations on: (i) liens; (ii) sale-leaseback transactions; (iii) indebtedness; (iv) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (v) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (vi) loans and other investments; (vii) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments;

S-27


Table of Contents

(viii) dividends, other payments and other matters affecting subsidiaries; (ix) transactions with affiliates; and (x) issuances of preferred stock of certain subsidiaries. Future debt agreements we enter into may include similar provisions.

        These restrictions may also make more difficult or discourage a takeover of us, whether favored or opposed by our management and/or our Board of Directors.

        Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and any material deviations from our forecasts could require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants or alternative sources of financing, or to reduce expenditures. We cannot guarantee that such waivers, amendments or alternative financing could be obtained or, if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us.

        A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in these agreements could result in an event of default. Such a default could allow our debt holders to accelerate repayment of the related debt, as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, and/or to declare all borrowings outstanding under these agreements to be due and payable. If our debt is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt, including the notes.

The indenture governing the notes will contain negative covenants that provide limited protection.

        The indenture governing the notes will contain limited covenants that restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur liens on our assets and enter into certain mergers with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person. The covenants for the notes do not include limitations on indebtedness, asset sales and the use of proceeds therefrom, affiliate transactions and certain other covenants that are included in our existing debt. As a result, the notes will not prevent us from taking a number of actions that may increase risk from the perspective of noteholders. In addition, breaches of covenants under our existing debt will only result in a default under the notes if the holders or lenders of that debt accelerate repayment of such debt. The limited covenants in the notes also contain exceptions that will allow us and our subsidiaries to incur significant amounts of additional secured indebtedness. See "Description of the 2025 Notes—Certain Covenants" and "Description of the 2028 Notes—Certain Covenants." In light of these exceptions, holders of the notes may be effectively subordinated to new lenders to the extent of the value of collateral pledged to secured obligations owed to such lenders.

The amount of borrowings permitted under our ABL Facility may fluctuate significantly, which may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

        The amount of borrowings permitted at any time under our ABL Facility is limited to a periodic borrowing base valuation of the collateral thereunder. As a result, our access to credit under our ABL Facility is potentially subject to significant fluctuations depending on the value of the borrowing base of eligible assets as of any measurement date, as well as certain discretionary rights of the agent in respect of the calculation of such borrowing base value. The inability to borrow under our ABL Facility may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

We rely on available borrowings under the ABL Facility and the accounts receivable securitization facility for cash to operate our business, which subjects us to market and counterparty risk, some of which is beyond our control.

        In addition to cash we generate from our business, our principal existing sources of cash are borrowings available under the ABL Facility and the accounts receivable securitization facility. If our access to such financing was unavailable or reduced, or if such financing were to become significantly more expensive for any reason, we may not be able to fund daily operations, which would cause material harm to our business or could affect our ability to operate our business as a going concern. In addition, if certain of our lenders experience difficulties that render them unable to fund future draws on the facilities, we may not be able to access all or a portion of these funds, which could have similar adverse consequences.

Risks Relating to the Notes

None of URNA's foreign subsidiaries, unrestricted subsidiaries, subsidiaries that are foreign subsidiary holding companies or subsidiaries of foreign subsidiaries will be guarantors with respect to the notes, unless URNA determines otherwise, therefore, any claims you may have in respect of the notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of those subsidiaries.

        None of URNA's foreign subsidiaries, unrestricted subsidiaries or subsidiaries that are foreign subsidiary holding companies or subsidiaries of foreign subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, unless URNA determines otherwise. If any of such non-guarantor subsidiaries becomes insolvent, liquidates, reorganizes, dissolves or otherwise winds up, holders of its indebtedness and its trade creditors generally will be entitled to payment on their claims from the assets of such subsidiary before any of those assets would be made available to us. Consequently, your claims in respect of the notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of URNA's non-guarantor subsidiaries. The indenture governing the notes will not prohibit URNA from having subsidiaries that are not guarantors in the future.

        The non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately 9% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and approximately 8% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately 7% of our rental equipment.

        The indenture will not limit the incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock of or by our subsidiaries. In addition, the indenture will not impose any limitation on the incurrence by such subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered indebtedness under the indenture.

A portion of our operations is currently conducted through URNA's subsidiaries and URNA will depend in part on distributions from these subsidiaries in order to pay amounts due on the notes. Certain provisions of law or contractual restrictions could limit distributions from URNA's subsidiaries.

        A portion of our operations is conducted through URNA's subsidiaries. The effect of this structure is that URNA will depend in part on the earnings of its subsidiaries, and the payment or other distribution to it of these earnings, in order to meet its obligations under the notes and its other debt. Provisions of law, such as those requiring that dividends be paid only from surplus, could limit the ability of URNA's subsidiaries to make payments or other distributions to it. Furthermore, these subsidiaries could in certain circumstances agree to contractual restrictions on their ability to make distributions. These restrictions could also render the subsidiary guarantors financially or contractually unable to make payments under their guarantees of the notes.

Holdings' primary asset is its equity interest in URNA.

        The notes will be guaranteed by Holdings. However, substantially all of Holdings' net worth is attributable to the stock of URNA owned by Holdings and all of its operations are conducted through URNA. Consequently, the Holdings guarantee will not give holders of the notes a claim to significant assets other than those to which they already have a claim as URNA's direct creditors. Furthermore, substantially all of Holdings' assets are subject to a security interest in favor of the lenders under the ABL Facility, which gives these lenders a first-priority claim to such assets.

A guarantee by a subsidiary guarantor could be voided if the subsidiary guarantor fraudulently transferred the guarantee at the time it incurred the indebtedness, which could result in the holders of the notes being able to rely only on URNA and Holdings to satisfy claims.

        A guarantee by one of our subsidiary guarantors that is found to be a fraudulent transfer may be voided under the fraudulent transfer laws described below. The application of these laws requires the

S-29


Table of Contents

making of complex factual determinations and estimates as to which there may be different opinions and views.

        In general, federal and state fraudulent transfer laws provide that a guarantee by a subsidiary guarantor can be voided, or claims under a guarantee by a subsidiary guarantor may be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

        In addition, any payment by that subsidiary guarantor under a guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the subsidiary guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the subsidiary guarantor.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

        We cannot predict:

        In the event that the guarantee of the notes by a subsidiary guarantor is voided as a fraudulent conveyance, holders of the notes would effectively be subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of that subsidiary guarantor.

If we experience a change of control, URNA will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes. However, URNA may be unable to do so due to lack of funds or covenant restrictions.

        If we experience a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), URNA will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at the applicable percentage of their

S-30


Table of Contents

principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. However, URNA may be unable to do so because:

        A failure to make an offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control would give rise to an event of default under the indenture governing the notes and could result in an acceleration of amounts due thereunder. Any such default and acceleration under one indenture could trigger a cross-default under our and URNA's other indebtedness. In addition, any such default under one indenture would trigger a default under the ABL Facility (which could result in the acceleration of all indebtedness thereunder) and a termination event under our accounts receivable securitization facility. A change of control (as defined in the agreement governing the ABL Facility), in and of itself, is also an event of default under the ABL Facility, which would entitle our lenders to accelerate all amounts owing thereunder. In the event of any such acceleration, there can be no assurance that we will have enough cash to repay our outstanding indebtedness, including the notes. In addition, such acceleration could cause a default under the notes.

A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to our debt securities could cause the liquidity or market value of the notes to decline significantly and increase our cost of borrowing.

        Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. In general, rating agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix and quality of earnings, and, as a result, we may not be able to maintain our current credit ratings.

        Credit rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies that they follow, including us. Borrowing under the ABL Facility, as well as the future incurrence of additional secured or additional unsecured indebtedness, may cause the rating agencies to reassess the ratings assigned to our debt securities. Any such action may lead to a downgrade of any rating assigned to the notes or in the assignment of a rating for the notes that is lower than might otherwise be the case. Real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings could cause the liquidity or market value of the notes to decline significantly.

        There can be no assurance that the ratings assigned by S&P and Moody's to the notes will remain for any given period of time or that these ratings will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency's judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes in our company, so warrant. Credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing organization in its sole discretion. Neither we nor any underwriter undertakes any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of the notes of any changes in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.

There may be no public market for the notes.

        We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that they presently intend to continue to make a market in the notes. The underwriters are not obligated, however, to make a market in the notes, and may discontinue any such market-making at any time at their sole discretion. In addition, any market-making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by securities laws. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to:

S-31


Table of Contents

        If a market for the notes does exist, it is possible that you will not be able to sell your notes at a particular time or that the price that you receive when you sell will be favorable. It is also possible that any trading market that does exist for the notes will not be liquid. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including:

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in prices. If a market for the notes exists, it is possible that the market for the notes will be subject to disruptions and price volatility. Any disruptions may have a negative effect on holders of the notes, regardless of our operating performance, financial condition and prospects.

Certain of the covenants contained in the indenture and, if requested by us, the subsidiary guarantees, will not be applicable during any period when the notes are rated investment grade by S&P and Moody's or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency selected by us.

        The covenant in the indenture governing the notes limiting dividends and other distributions, share repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments will not apply to us during any period when the notes are rated investment grade by both S&P and Moody's or, in certain circumstances, another nationally recognized statistical rating agency selected by us, provided that at such time no default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade, or that if they are rated investment grade, the notes will maintain such ratings. However, suspension of this covenant would allow us to pay distributions, buy back shares or engage in other transactions that would not be permitted while this covenant was in force, and the effects of any such actions will be permitted to remain in place even if the notes are subsequently downgraded below investment grade and the covenants are reinstated. Please see "Description of the 2025 Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Suspension" and "Description of the 2028 Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Suspension."

        During any period when the notes are rated investment grade by both S&P and Moody's or, in certain circumstances, another nationally recognized statistical rating agency selected by us, provided that at such time no default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing, we may request to release the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor. In the event that the guarantee of the notes by a subsidiary guarantor is released, holders of the notes would effectively be subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of that subsidiary guarantor. Please see "Description of the 2025 Notes—Guarantees" and "Description of the 2028 Notes—Guarantees."

The notes will be effectively subordinated to URNA's and each guarantor's secured indebtedness, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

        The notes will be URNA's senior unsecured obligations and will be effectively subordinated to all of URNA's and each guarantor's secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral. Our U.S. dollar borrowings under the ABL Facility and our senior secured notes are secured by substantially all of our and the guarantors' assets. Most of our U.S. receivable assets have been sold to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity in connection with our accounts receivable securitization facility (the accounts receivable in the collateral pool being the lenders' only source of payment under that facility). The lenders

under the ABL Facility, the holders of the secured notes or the holders of other secured indebtedness will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law (in addition to any remedies that may be available under documents pertaining to the ABL Facility, the senior secured notes or our other secured indebtedness). The exercise of such remedies may adversely affect our ability to meet our financial obligations under the notes.

        As of June 30, 2017, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the ABL Facility to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the notes and guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," our total indebtedness was $9.6 billion, and:

        Under the terms of the agreements governing our debt, we may incur significant amounts of additional secured indebtedness.

If you participate in any offer to exchange the 2028 notes offered hereby for additional existing 2028 notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes, upon consummation of the exchange offer, your percentage of series ownership as a holder of the additional existing 2028 notes issued in such exchange offer will be diluted by and to the extent of the then outstanding existing 2028 notes.

        Once the Neff Acquisition closes (and subject to the Neff Acquisition actually closing), we intend to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement to exchange additional existing 2028 notes for the 2028 notes offered hereby. We plan to register the offer to exchange the 2028 notes offered hereby on an exchange offer registration statement and to issue additional existing 2028 notes, in exchange for tendered 2028 notes offered hereby, under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes. Upon consummation of any such exchange offer, the additional existing 2028 notes issued in exchange for the 2028 notes offered hereby and the existing 2028 notes will be treated as a single series for purposes of the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes. If you participate in any such exchange offer, your percentage of series ownership as a holder of the additional existing 2028 notes issued in such exchange offer will be diluted by and to the extent of the existing 2028 notes then outstanding.

If we do not complete the offer to exchange additional notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes for your 2028 notes or if we complete such exchange offer and you do not exchange your 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not be voting as a single series with the existing 2028 notes and the liquidity of any market for your 2028 notes may be limited.

        We may not complete the offer to exchange additional existing 2028 notes issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes for your 2028 notes offered hereby if for any reason we decide, in our sole discretion, that it is not practical or that it is inadvisable to issue additional existing 2028 notes under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes in the registered exchange offer. Circumstances that could

S-33


Table of Contents

lead us not to conduct the exchange offer include, but are not limited to, regulatory issues that would impose burdens on us or holders of the existing 2028 notes, covenant or other limitations that restrict our ability to issue additional existing 2028 notes, adverse tax effects associated with an exchange offer, adverse accounting treatment of the exchange offer, disclosure matters affecting our ability to conduct a registered exchange offer, changes in securities laws or requirements, or excessive or undue costs associated with the exchange offer. If we do not complete the offer to exchange your 2028 notes for additional existing 2028 notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the existing 2028 notes or if we complete such exchange offer but you do not exchange your 2028 notes, your 2028 notes will not be fungible with the existing 2028 notes and will not be treated as a single series with the existing 2028 notes at any point for any purpose, including voting, and the liquidity of any market for your 2028 notes may be limited.

Risks Related to the Proposed Neff Acquisition

We cannot assure you that the proposed Neff Acquisition will be completed.

        There are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to the Neff Acquisition. For example, the Neff Acquisition may not be completed, or may not be completed in the timeframe, on the terms or in the manner currently anticipated, as a result of a number of factors, including, among other things, the failure of one or more of the conditions to closing. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the Neff Acquisition will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to close the Neff Acquisition. The Neff Merger Agreement may be terminated by the parties thereto under certain circumstances, including, without limitation, if the Neff Acquisition has not been completed by May 16, 2018, which date is subject to extension by written notice of either of the parties if all of the conditions to closing set forth in the Neff Merger Agreement other than the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (and other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the closing, but are capable of being satisfied at such time) are satisfied on, or have been waived prior to, May 15, 2018. Any delay in closing or a failure to close could have a negative impact on our business and the trading price of our securities, including the notes.

        In addition, to complete the Neff Acquisition, we need to obtain approvals or consents from, and make filings with, certain applicable governmental authorities. While we believe that we will receive all required approvals for the Neff Acquisition, there can be no assurance as to the receipt or timing of receipt of these approvals. The receipt of such approvals may be conditional upon actions that we are not obligated to take under the Neff Merger Agreement, which could result in the termination of the Neff Merger Agreement by us, or, if such approvals are received, their terms could have a detrimental impact on us following the completion of the Neff Acquisition. A substantial delay in obtaining any required authorizations, approvals or consents, or the imposition of unfavorable terms, conditions or restrictions contained in such authorizations, approvals or consents, could prevent the completion of the Neff Acquisition or have an adverse effect on the anticipated benefits of the Neff Acquisition, thereby adversely impacting our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In the event the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before August 16, 2018 or the Neff Merger Agreement is terminated at any point prior thereto, the notes will be subject to a mandatory redemption, and, as a result, you may not obtain the return you expect on the notes.

        Our ability to consummate the Neff Acquisition is subject to various closing conditions, many of which are beyond our control. In the event that (i) the Neff Acquisition is not consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Neff Merger Agreement by August 16, 2018, (ii) we have determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before August 16, 2018 and give the Trustee for the notes written notice to that effect or (iii) the Neff Merger Agreement is terminated at any time prior thereto, then we will be obligated to redeem all the of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the issue price of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

S-34


Table of Contents

Upon such redemption, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from the redemption in an investment that yields comparable returns. You may suffer a loss on your investment if you purchase the notes at a price greater than the issue price of the notes. In addition, as a result of the mandatory redemption provisions of the notes, the trading prices of the notes may not reflect the financial results of our business or macroeconomic factors. Your decision to invest in the notes is made at the time of the offering of the notes. We will rely on borrowings under our ABL Facility to fund the redemption. In the event that sufficient amounts are not available under the ABL Facility or a condition to borrowing is not met, we may not be able to fund the mandatory redemption. You will have no rights under the mandatory redemption provisions as long as the Neff Acquisition closes by August 16, 2018, nor will you have any right to require us to repurchase your notes if, between the closing of the notes offering and the closing of the Neff Acquisition, Neff experiences any changes (including material changes) in its business or financial condition, or if the terms of the Neff Acquisition or the related transactions change, including in material respects.

We may fail to realize the growth prospects and other benefits anticipated as a result of the Neff Acquisition.

        The success of the Neff Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects from the Neff Acquisition. We may never realize these business opportunities and growth prospects. The Neff Acquisition and related integration will require significant efforts and expenditures. Our management might have its attention diverted while trying to integrate operations and corporate and administrative infrastructures and the cost of integration may exceed our expectations. We may also be required to make unanticipated capital expenditures or investments in order to maintain, improve or sustain the acquired operations or take writeoffs or impairment charges and may be subject to unanticipated or unknown liabilities relating to the Neff Acquisition. If any of these factors limit our ability to complete the Neff Acquisition and integration of operations successfully or on a timely basis, our expectations of future results of operations following the Neff Acquisition might not be met.

        In addition, it is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing businesses, tax costs or inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Neff Acquisition and could harm our financial performance.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We anticipate that we will receive approximately $1.48 billion in net proceeds from the sale of the notes, after underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of estimated fees and expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to finance the Neff Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. Pending the payment of the purchase price for the Neff Acquisition, the net proceeds from this offering will be applied to reduce borrowings under the ABL Facility. We expect to then borrow under the ABL Facility to fund the Neff Acquisition.

        If (i) the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline, (ii) we have determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline and have given the Trustee a written notice to that effect, or (iii) the Neff Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, we will be required to redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. See "Description of the 2025 Notes—Mandatory Redemption" and "Description of the 2028 Notes—Mandatory Redemption."

        As of June 30, 2017, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the ABL Facility to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the notes and the guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom, we had $1.696 billion outstanding under the ABL Facility (with a carrying value of $1.688 billion). The ABL Facility currently bears interest at a rate of 2.7% and matures on June 8, 2021. The borrowings under the ABL Facility, which will be reduced with the net proceeds from the sale of the notes until reborrowed in connection with the consummation of the Neff Acquisition, were used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and the financing of share repurchases. For more information regarding our outstanding senior indebtedness, including maturities and applicable interest rates, see "Capitalization" and note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 in our Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.

        Affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated are the agent, U.S. swingline lender, U.S. letter of credit issuer, Canadian swingline lender and Canadian letter of credit issuer under the ABL Facility, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and affiliates of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are joint lead arrangers and joint book runners under the ABL Facility, each of which is acting as an underwriter for this offering. Affiliates of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, each of which is acting as an underwriter for this offering, are Co-Documentation Agents under the ABL Facility. In addition, certain affiliates of each of the underwriters are lenders under the ABL Facility and/or under our accounts receivable securitization facility. As described above, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily repay indebtedness owed to the underwriters and certain affiliates of the underwriters who are lenders under the ABL Facility, and such underwriters (or their affiliates) therefore may receive more than 5 percent of the net proceeds from this offering through the repayment of such debt, which creates a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121. This offering is therefore being made in compliance with Rule 5121 and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. is assuming the responsibilities of acting as a qualified independent underwriter in preparing this prospectus supplement, in pricing the offering and conducting due diligence. Aside from its relative portion of the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. will not receive any fees for serving as a qualified independent underwriter in connection with this offering. We have agreed to indemnify Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. against liabilities incurred in connection with acting as the qualified independent underwriter, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. No underwriter having a conflicting interest under Rule 5121 will sell to a discretionary account any security with respect to which the conflict exists, unless the member has received specific written approval of the transaction from the account holder and retains documentation of the approval in its records.

Borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization facility are permitted only to the extent that the face amount of the receivables in the collateral pool, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, exceeds the outstanding loans. As of June 30, 2017, there were $694 million of receivables, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, in the collateral pool. In August 2017, the accounts receivable securitization facility was amended, primarily to increase the facility size and to extend the maturity date which may be further extended on a 364-day basis by mutual agreement with the purchasers under the accounts receivable securitization facility.

We expect to incur approximately $33 million in financial and legal advisory fees in connection with the Neff Acquisition and recognized a loss of $30 million in interest expense upon redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023. The loss represented the difference between the net carrying amount and the total purchase price of the redeemed notes. The after-tax impact of these amounts is reflected as a reduction of adjusted stockholders' equity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2025 NOTES

        We will issue the        % Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") under an indenture (the "2025 Indenture"), dated as of September , 2017, among us, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

        The terms of the 2025 Notes will include those expressly set forth in the 2025 Indenture and those made part of the 2025 Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Indenture and does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to and is qualified by reference to all of the provisions of the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Indenture, including the definitions of certain terms used in the 2025 Indenture. We urge you to read these documents because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the 2025 Notes. Copies of the 2025 Indenture are available as set forth below under "—Additional Information." The 2025 Notes will not be issued as additional notes under the indenture for the Company's existing 51/2% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Existing 2025 Notes"), and the terms of the 2025 Notes offered hereby will differ materially from those of the Existing 2025 Notes.

        Certain terms used in this description are defined under the caption "—Certain Definitions." Defined terms used in this description but not defined under "—Certain Definitions" will have the meanings assigned to them in the 2025 Indenture. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "2025 Notes" include the 2025 Notes offered hereby and any Additional Notes (as defined below). In this description, the words "Company," "we" and "our" refer only to United Rentals (North America), Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

Brief Description of the 2025 Notes

        The 2025 Notes will be:

        The Company's Subsidiaries, with limited exceptions, are "Restricted Subsidiaries." As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Unrestricted Subsidiaries represented 6% of Holdings' total assets and had no revenue. Under the circumstances described below in the definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary," the Company will be permitted to designate certain of its other Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." The Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the 2025 Indenture. The Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the 2025 Notes.

        As of June 30, 2017, on an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the Credit Agreement to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the 2025 Notes and the guarantees (the "Guarantees"), the issuance of the Concurrent Notes and the related guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," the 2025 Notes would have ranked (1) equally in right of payment with approximately $5.6 billion principal amount of our other senior unsecured obligations, comprised of $225 million principal amount of 75/8% Senior Notes due 2022, $850 million principal amount of 53/4% Senior Notes due

2024, $800 million principal amount of 51/2% Senior Notes due 2025, $1.0 billion principal amount of 57/8% Senior Notes due 2026, $1.0 billion principal amount of 51/2% Senior Notes due 2027, $750 million principal amount of the Concurrent Notes and $925 million principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028; (2) effectively junior to approximately $2.8 billion of our secured obligations, comprised of (i) $1.6 billion of our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement (excluding $764 million of additional borrowing capacity, net of outstanding letters of credit of $40 million), (ii) $1.0 billion principal amount of the Secured Notes, (iii) our guarantee obligations in respect of $106 million of the outstanding borrowings of our Subsidiary Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, (iv) $51 million in capital leases and (v) our guarantee obligations in respect of $8 million of capital leases of our Subsidiary Guarantors; and (3) effectively junior to (i) $615 million of indebtedness of our special purpose vehicle in connection with the Existing Securitization Facility, (ii) $5 million of capital leases of our Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors and (iii) $3 million of capital leases of Holdings. Most of our U.S. receivable assets have been sold to our special purpose vehicle in connection with our Existing Securitization Facility (the accounts receivable in the collateral pool being the lenders' only source of payment under that facility). See "Capitalization."

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Company will issue the 2025 Notes in this offering in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The 2025 Notes will mature on October 15, 2025. The Company will be permitted to issue additional Notes under the 2025 Indenture (the "Additional Notes"). The 2025 Notes offered hereby and any Additional Notes will rank equally and be treated as a single class for all purposes of the 2025 Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Interest on the 2025 Notes will accrue at the rate of      % per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on                April 15 and October 15 of each year, to the holders of record of 2025 Notes at the close of business on April 1 and October 1, respectively, immediately preceding such interest payment date, except that the last payment of interest will be made on October 15, 2025, to the holders of record of 2025 Notes at the close of business on October 1, 2025. The first interest payment with respect to the 2025 Notes will be made on October 15, 2017.

        Interest on the 2025 Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of the 2025 Indenture. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

        The 2025 Notes will be issued only in registered form without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2025 Notes will be payable, and the 2025 Notes will be transferable, at the designated corporate trust office or agency of the Trustee in the City of New York maintained for such purposes. In addition, interest may be paid at the option of the Company by check mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the security register. No service charge will be made for any transfer, exchange or redemption of 2025 Notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

        Initial settlement for the 2025 Notes will be made in same-day funds. The 2025 Notes are expected to trade in the Same-Day Funds Settlement System of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") until maturity, and secondary market trading activity for the 2025 Notes will therefore settle in same-day funds.

Guarantees

        Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, to each holder of the 2025 Notes and the Trustee under the 2025 Indenture, the full and prompt performance of the Company's obligations under the 2025 Indenture and such 2025 Notes, including the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2025 Notes. Subject to limited exceptions, the Subsidiary Guarantors are the current and future Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, other than (unless otherwise determined by the Company) any Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary.

        The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the 2025 Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—A guarantee by a subsidiary guarantor could be voided if the subsidiary guarantor fraudulently transferred the guarantee at the time it incurred the indebtedness, which could result in the holders of the notes being able to rely only on URNA and Holdings to satisfy claims."

        Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its guarantee of the 2025 Notes will be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor of the 2025 Notes in an amount equal to such other Guarantor's pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP (for purposes hereof, Holdings' net assets shall be those of all its consolidated Subsidiaries other than the Subsidiary Guarantors); provided, however, that during a Default, the right to receive payment in respect of such right of contribution shall be suspended until the payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the 2025 Indenture.

        Each guarantee of the 2025 Notes:

        As of June 30, 2017, on an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the Credit Agreement to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the 2025 Notes and the Guarantees, the issuance of the Concurrent Notes and the related guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," the Guarantees would have ranked (1) equally in right of payment with approximately $5.6 billion of the Guarantors' other senior unsecured obligations, comprised of the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of (a) $225 million principal amount of 75/8% Senior Notes due 2022, (b) $850 million principal amount of 53/4% Senior Notes due 2024, (c) $800 million principal amount of 51/2% Senior Notes due 2025, (d) $1.0 billion principal amount of 57/8% Senior Notes due 2026, (e) $1.0 billion principal amount of 51/2% Senior Notes due 2027, (f) $750 million principal amount of the Concurrent Notes and (g) $925 million principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028; (2) effectively junior to approximately $2.8 billion of the Guarantors' secured obligations, comprised of (i) the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of $1.6 billion of our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, (ii) $106 million of the outstanding borrowings of our Subsidiary Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, (iii) the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of $1.0 billion principal amount of the Secured Notes, (iv) the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of $51 million in our capital leases, (v) $8 million of capital leases of our Subsidiary Guarantors and (vi) $3 million of capital leases of Holdings; and (3) effectively junior to (i) $615 million of indebtedness of our special purpose vehicle in connection with the Existing Securitization Facility and (ii) $5 million of capital leases of our Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors. See "Capitalization."

S-42


Table of Contents

        The Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors accounted for $223 million, or 8%, and $84 million, or 6%, of our adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company accounted for $510 million, or 9%, and $245 million, or 8%, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company accounted for $2,036 million, or 15%, of our total assets, and $781 million, or 7%, of our total liabilities at June 30, 2017.

        The 2025 Indenture will not contain limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness or preferred stock that the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur or issue. The amount of any such Indebtedness or preferred stock could be substantial and, subject to the limitations set forth in the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens," any such Indebtedness may be secured Indebtedness.

        The guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:

Optional Redemption

        Except as set forth below, we will not be entitled to redeem the 2025 Notes at our option prior to October 15, 2020.

        The 2025 Notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 15, 2020, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record

        In addition, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to October 15, 2020, we may, at our option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to an aggregate of 40.0% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to        % of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided, however, that (1) at least 50.0% of the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding 2025 Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (2) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

        Prior to October 15, 2020, we will be entitled at our option to redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Mandatory Redemption

        Except as set forth in the following paragraph, the Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2025 Notes.

        If (i) the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before August 16, 2018 (the "Acquisition Deadline"), (ii) the Company has determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline and gives the Trustee a written notice to that effect, or (iii) the Neff Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, and the Neff Acquisition has not been consummated, we will be required to redeem the 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The "Special Mandatory Redemption Date" means the earliest to occur of (i) the Acquisition Deadline, if the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before such date, (ii) the 10th business day following written notification by the Company to the Trustee that the Company has determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline, and (iii) the 10th business day following the termination of the Neff Merger Agreement, if the Neff Acquisition has not been consummated.

        If we are required to redeem the 2025 Notes pursuant to this special mandatory redemption because the Neff Acquisition is not completed on or before the Acquisition Deadline, we will cause a conditional notice of redemption to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of the 2025 Notes at its registered address at least five business days prior to the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Date. Such redemption notice will be conditioned upon failure to complete the Neff Acquisition on or before the Acquisition Deadline and any other conditions the Company may determine.

        In all other cases, if we are required to redeem the 2025 Notes pursuant to this special mandatory redemption, we will cause the notice of redemption to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of the 2025 Notes at its registered address within five business days after the occurrence of the event that requires us to redeem such 2025 Notes.

S-44


Table of Contents

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2025 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance with the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Indenture. If funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a paying agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the 2025 Notes will cease to bear interest.

Selection and Notice of Redemption

        In the event that less than all of the 2025 Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such 2025 Notes for redemption will be made on a pro rata basis (subject to the rules of DTC) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided, however, that such 2025 Notes shall only be redeemable in principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of redemption shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to each holder of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance or a satisfaction and discharge of the 2025 Notes.

        Notices of redemption may be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent established by us in our sole discretion. In addition, we may provide in any notice of redemption for the 2025 Notes that payment of the redemption price and the performance of our obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

        If any 2025 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such 2025 Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new 2025 Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original 2025 Note. 2025 Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on 2025 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the redemption price.

Change of Control

        Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Issue Date, we shall be obligated to make an offer to purchase all of the then outstanding 2025 Notes (a "Change of Control Offer"), on a business day (the "Change of Control Purchase Date") not more than 60 nor less than 30 days following the delivery to each holder of the 2025 Notes of a notice of the Change of Control (a "Change of Control Notice"). The Change of Control Offer shall be at a purchase price in cash (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Change of Control Purchase Date, subject to the rights of holders of the 2025 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. We shall be required to purchase all 2025 Notes tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn. The Change of Control Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 business days.

        In order to effect such Change of Control Offer, we shall, not later than the 30th day after the Change of Control, deliver the Change of Control Notice to each holder of the 2025 Notes, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall state, among other things, (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such holder's 2025 Notes at the Change of Control Purchase Price, (ii) the date which shall be the Change of Control Purchase Date and (iii) the procedures that holders of the 2025 Notes must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer. The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities

S-45


Table of Contents

laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable to a Change of Control Offer and the repurchase of 2025 Notes pursuant thereto. The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the 2025 Indenture are applicable.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

        The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the 2025 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all 2025 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption for all outstanding 2025 Notes has been given pursuant to the 2025 Indenture as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

        The use of the term "all or substantially all" in provisions of the 2025 Indenture such as clause (b) of the definition of "Change of Control" and under "—Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc." has no clearly established meaning under New York law (which governs the 2025 Indenture) and has been the subject of limited judicial interpretation in only a few jurisdictions. Accordingly, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether any particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of a person, which uncertainty should be considered by prospective purchasers of 2025 Notes.

        The provisions under the 2025 Indenture set forth above relating to the Company's obligations to make a Change of Control Offer may, prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, be waived or modified with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2025 Notes issued under the 2025 Indenture. Following the occurrence of a Change of Control, any change, amendment or modification in any material respect of the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer may only be effected with the consent of each holder of the 2025 Notes affected thereby. See "—Amendments and Waivers."

Certain Covenants

        Effectiveness of Covenants.    The 2025 Indenture contains covenants including, among others, the covenants described below.

        During any period of time that: (a) the 2025 Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the 2025 Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) being collectively referred to as a "Covenant Suspension Event"), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to either of the following provisions of the 2025 Indenture (collectively, the "Suspended Covenants"):

        In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under the 2025 Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the "Reversion Date") one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the 2025 Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the 2025 Indenture with respect to future events.

S-46


Table of Contents

        The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the "Suspension Period." With respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made since the Issue Date will be calculated as though the covenant described under the heading "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" had been in effect during the Suspension Period. Any Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period.

        During the Suspension Period, the obligation to grant further guarantees will be suspended. Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant guarantees pursuant to the covenant described under the heading "—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors" will be reinstated (and the Reversion Date will be deemed to be the date on which any guaranteed Indebtedness was incurred for purposes of the covenant described under the heading "—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors"). In addition, any guarantees that were terminated as described under "—Guarantees" will be required to be reinstated promptly and in no event later than 30 days after the Reversion Date to the extent such guarantees would otherwise be required to be provided under the 2025 Indenture.

        Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period and the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted, following a Reversion Date, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of the Suspended Covenants (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof) under the 2025 Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

        There can be no assurance that the 2025 Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

        Limitation on Restricted Payments.    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

S-47


Table of Contents

        (such payments described in the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) are collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, immediately after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (the amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall be the Fair Market Value of the asset(s) proposed to be transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment):

        None of the foregoing provisions will prohibit the following; provided that with respect to payments pursuant to clauses (i), (iv), (v), (vii), (ix), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi) below, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

S-49


Table of Contents

        Any payments made pursuant to clauses (i), (xiv), (xv) or (xvi) of this paragraph shall be taken into account, and any payments made pursuant to other clauses of this paragraph shall be excluded, in calculating the amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (C) of the first paragraph of this covenant.

        The Company, in its sole discretion, may classify any Restricted Payment as being made in part under one of the provisions of this covenant and in part under one or more other such provisions (or, as applicable, clauses), or reclassify any Restricted Payment made under one or more of the provisions of this covenant as being made under one or more other provisions (or, as applicable, clauses) of this covenant.

        Limitation on Liens.    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (the "Initial Lien") of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) securing any Indebtedness, unless the 2025 Notes are equally and ratably secured (except that Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness shall be expressly subordinate to Liens securing the 2025 Notes to the same extent such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinate to the 2025 Notes). Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the 2025 Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

        For the purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness secured by a Lien for purposes of, this covenant, (i) in the event that such Lien meets the criteria of more than one type of Permitted Lien, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may from time to time reclassify, such Lien and only be required to include the amount and type of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one or a combination of Permitted Liens; provided that (i) Liens

Table of Contents

securing Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement shall be treated as incurred pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of "Permitted Liens", and (ii) the Lien of any obligor securing such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have incurred such Lien under this covenant) shall be disregarded to the extent that such Lien secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness.

        Except as provided in the following paragraph with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the amount of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien outstanding as of any date will be:

        For purposes of determining compliance with any dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Liens securing Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness secured by Liens pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness secured by Liens, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness secured by Liens; provided that (x) the dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness secured by Liens outstanding on the Issue Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Issue Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable dollar-denominated restriction on Liens to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness secured by Liens, calculated as described in the following sentence, does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (z) the dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens denominated in a foreign currency and incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company's option, (i) the Issue Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder or (iii) the date of such incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness secured by Liens incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

        Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.    The Company will cause each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, other than (unless otherwise determined by the Company) any Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary, that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or of any other Restricted Subsidiary incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement to, within a reasonable time thereafter, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the 2025 Notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the 2025 Indenture, subject to any limitations that apply to the guarantee of Indebtedness giving rise to the

requirement to guarantee the 2025 Notes. This covenant shall not apply to any of the Company's Subsidiaries that have been properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

        Reporting Requirements.    For so long as the 2025 Notes are outstanding, whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto, the Company shall file with the SEC (if permitted by SEC practice and applicable law and regulations) the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor provision thereto if the Company were so subject, such documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, filing such documents by the Company with the SEC is not permitted by SEC practice or applicable law or regulations, the Company shall transmit (or cause to be transmitted) electronically or by mail to all holders of the 2025 Notes, as their names and addresses appear in the 2025 Note register, copies of such documents within 30 days after the Required Filing Date (or make such documents available on a website maintained by the Company or Holdings).

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.

        The Company will not, directly or indirectly, in any transaction or series of transactions, merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to, any Person or Persons, and the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other person or persons, unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

        In connection with any consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposition contemplated hereby, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposition and the supplemental indenture in respect thereof comply with the requirements under the 2025 Indenture.

S-52


Table of Contents

        Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraphs, the successor person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is merged or the successor person to which such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company in the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Indenture and, except in the case of a lease, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be released and discharged from its obligations thereunder.

        The 2025 Indenture will provide that for all purposes of the 2025 Indenture and the 2025 Notes (including the provision of this covenant and the covenants described in "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens"), Subsidiaries of any surviving person shall, upon such transaction or series of related transactions, become Restricted Subsidiaries unless and until designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and all Liens on property or assets, of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in existence immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions will be deemed to have been incurred upon such transaction or series of related transactions.

Events of Default

        The following will be "Events of Default" under the 2025 Indenture:

S-53


Table of Contents

        If an Event of Default (other than those covered by clause (viii) or (ix) above with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee and the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding 2025 Notes due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (viii) or (ix) above with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted

S-54

Subsidiaries of the Company, that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the outstanding 2025 Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the 2025 Notes.

        After a declaration of acceleration under the 2025 Indenture, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration if:

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes may on behalf of the holders of all the 2025 Notes waive any past defaults under the 2025 Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any 2025 Note, or in respect of a covenant or provision which under the 2025 Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each 2025 Note outstanding.

        No holder of any of the 2025 Notes has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the 2025 Indenture or any remedy thereunder, unless the holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes have made written request to the Trustee, and offered indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Indenture, the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 45 days after receipt of such notice and the Trustee, within such 45-day period, has not received directions inconsistent with such written request by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a 2025 Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such 2025 Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such 2025 Note.

        During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee is required to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the 2025 Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Subject to the provisions of the 2025 Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, whether or not an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee under the 2025 Indenture is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the 2025 Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the 2025 Notes unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or

indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain provisions concerning the rights of the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under the 2025 Indenture.

        If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each holder of the 2025 Notes notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after obtaining knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any 2025 Notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the holders of such 2025 Notes if the Trustee, in good faith, determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the noteholders.

        The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annual statements as to the performance by the Company of its and its Restricted Subsidiaries' obligations under the 2025 Indenture and as to any default in such performance.

No Liability for Certain Persons

        No director, officer, employee or stockholder of Holdings or the Company, nor any director, officer or employee of any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the 2025 Notes, the guarantees thereof or the 2025 Indenture based on or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder by accepting a 2025 Note waives and releases all such liability. The foregoing waiver and release are an integral part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2025 Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers' certificate, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding 2025 Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their guarantees of such 2025 Notes ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

        In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers) that are described in the 2025 Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the 2025 Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "—Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the 2025 Notes.

Amendments and Waivers

        From time to time, the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of the holders of any of the outstanding 2025 Notes, amend, waive or supplement the 2025 Indenture, the 2025 Notes or the guarantees for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, mistakes, defects or inconsistencies, conforming any provision to any provision under the heading "Description of the 2025 Notes," qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, the 2025 Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the 2025 Notes, adding Guarantees or releasing or discharging Guarantees in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Indenture, providing for uncertificated 2025 Notes in addition to or in place of certificated 2025 Notes, making such provisions as necessary (as determined in good faith by the Company) for the issuance of Additional Notes or evidencing and providing for the acceptance and appointment under the 2025 Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof. Other amendments and modifications of the 2025 Indenture, the 2025 Notes or the guarantees may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2025 Notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding 2025 Note affected thereby:

The Trustee

        The 2025 Indenture will provide that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee thereunder will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the 2025 Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the 2025 Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

        The 2025 Indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the Trustee thereunder, should it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in such Act) it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

        We maintain banking and lending relationships in the ordinary course of business with the Trustee and its affiliates.

Governing Law

        The 2025 Indenture and the 2025 Notes will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

Additional Information

        Anyone who receives this prospectus supplement may obtain a copy of the 2025 Indenture without charge by writing to United Rentals, Inc., 100 First Stamford Place, Suite 700, Stamford, CT 06902, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The 2025 Notes will be issued in the form of one or more registered global notes (the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

        Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for definitive notes in certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes." Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.

S-59


Table of Contents

        Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants, which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Company takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants.

        The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

        DTC has also advised the Company that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

        Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC's system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations which are Participants in such system. All interests in a Global Note may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the Participants, which in turn act on behalf of the Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

        Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have 2025 Notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of 2025 Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the 2025 Indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any on, a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the 2025 Indenture. Under the terms of the 2025 Indenture, the Company and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the 2025 Notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the 2025 Notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the

S-60


Table of Contents

Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

        DTC has advised the Company that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the 2025 Notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of 2025 Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the Company. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the 2025 Notes, and the Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds.

        DTC has advised the Company that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of the 2025 Notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the 2025 Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended 2025 Notes in certificated form, and to distribute such 2025 Notes to its Participants.

        None of the Company, the Trustee and any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

        Any Global Note that is exchangeable as above is exchangeable for certificated notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC shall direct.

S-61


Table of Contents

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The Company will make payments in respect of the 2025 Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The Company will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The 2025 Notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such 2025 Notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Company expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Table of Contents

immediately preceding the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (such four full fiscal quarter period being referred to herein as the "Four Quarter Period") to the aggregate amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges of such person for the Four Quarter Period.

        The Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect to:

        For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Investment, acquisition, disposition or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including without limitation in respect of anticipated cost savings or synergies relating to any such Investment, acquisition, disposition or other transaction that have been or are expected to be realized) shall be as determined in good faith by the chief financial officer or an authorized officer of the Company. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Protection Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any interest bears, at the option of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP, subject to the definition of Capitalized Lease Obligation hereunder.

See "Capitalization."

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Company will issue the 2028 Notes in this offering in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The 2028 Notes will mature on January 15, 2028. The Company will be permitted to issue additional Notes under the 2028 Indenture (the "Additional Notes"). The 2028 Notes offered hereby and any Additional Notes will rank equally and be treated as a single class for all purposes of the 2028 Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Interest on the 2028 Notes will accrue at the rate of 4.875% per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, to the holders of record of 2028 Notes at the close of business on January 1 and July 1, respectively, immediately preceding such interest payment date, except that the last payment of interest will be made on January 15, 2028, to the holders of record of 2028 Notes at the close of business on January 1, 2028. The first interest payment with respect to the 2028 Notes will be made on January 15, 2018.

        Interest on the 2028 Notes will accrue from August 11, 2017. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

        The 2028 Notes will be issued only in registered form without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2028 Notes will be payable, and the 2028 Notes will be transferable, at the designated corporate trust office or agency of the Trustee in the City of New York maintained for such purposes. In addition, interest may be paid at the option of the Company by check mailed to the person entitled thereto as shown on the security register. No service charge will be made for any transfer, exchange or redemption of 2028 Notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

        Initial settlement for the 2028 Notes will be made in same-day funds. The 2028 Notes are expected to trade in the Same-Day Funds Settlement System of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") until maturity, and secondary market trading activity for the 2028 Notes will therefore settle in same-day funds.

Exchange Offer

        The 2028 Notes will have terms that are substantially identical to those of the Existing 2028 Notes, other than the issue date, the issue price and the mandatory redemption described herein relating to the Neff Acquisition, but will be issued under a separate indenture. We are not able to offer Existing 2028 Notes in this offering because the Existing 2028 Notes do not include the mandatory redemption provisions relating to the Neff Acquisition described herein. As a result, the 2028 Notes offered hereby will not be fungible with the Existing 2028 Notes and will not be treated as a single series with the Existing 2028 Notes at any point for any purpose. Promptly following the completion of the Neff Acquisition, we intend to use our commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a registered exchange offer for the 2028 Notes offered hereby. In the exchange offer, we plan to offer to holders of the 2028 Notes offered hereby the opportunity to exchange their 2028 Notes for additional Existing 2028 Notes that will be issued under the indenture governing the Existing 2028 Notes. Any additional Existing 2028 Notes received in exchange for the 2028 Notes offered hereby in such exchange offer are expected to be fungible with and treated as part of the same series as the Existing 2028 Notes for all purposes (including for U.S. federal income tax purposes), including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, under the indenture governing the Existing 2028 Notes. However, if for any reason we decide, in our sole discretion, that it is not practical or that it is inadvisable to issue additional Existing 2028 Notes under the indenture governing the Existing 2028 Notes or to conduct the exchange offer, the 2028 Notes issued hereby will remain outstanding and will not be fungible with or treated as part of the same series as the Existing 2028 Notes. In addition, if we complete such exchange offer but you do not exchange your 2028 Notes, your 2028 Notes will not be fungible with the Existing 2028 Notes and the liquidity of any market for your 2028 Notes may be limited.

        The indenture governing the Existing 2028 Notes was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us with the SEC on August 11, 2017.

Guarantees

        Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, to each holder of the 2028 Notes and the Trustee under the 2028 Indenture, the full and prompt performance of the Company's obligations under the 2028 Indenture and such 2028 Notes, including the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2028 Notes. Subject to limited exceptions, the Subsidiary Guarantors are the current and future Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, other than (unless otherwise determined by the Company) any Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary.

        The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the 2028 Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—A guarantee by a subsidiary guarantor could be voided if the subsidiary guarantor fraudulently transferred the guarantee at the time it incurred the indebtedness, which could result in the holders of the notes being able to rely only on URNA and Holdings to satisfy claims."

        Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its guarantee of the 2028 Notes will be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor of the 2028 Notes in an amount equal to such other Guarantor's pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP (for purposes hereof, Holdings' net assets shall be those of all its consolidated Subsidiaries other than the Subsidiary Guarantors); provided, however,

S-84

that during a Default, the right to receive payment in respect of such right of contribution shall be suspended until the payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the 2028 Indenture.

        Each guarantee of the 2028 Notes:

        As of June 30, 2017, on an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to (i) the issuance of $925 million in aggregate principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028 on August 11, 2017, the full redemption of our 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 on August 27, 2017 and $53 million of additional borrowings under the Credit Agreement to partially fund the redemption of the 61/8% Senior Notes due 2023 and (ii) the issuance of the 2028 Notes and the Guarantees, the issuance of the         % Senior Notes due 2025 and the related guarantees and the assumed application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," the Guarantees would have ranked (1) equally in right of payment with approximately $5.6 billion of the Guarantors' other senior unsecured obligations, comprised of the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of (a) $225 million principal amount of 75/8% Senior Notes due 2022, (b) $850 million principal amount of 53/4% Senior Notes due 2024, (c) $800 million principal amount of 51/2% Senior Notes due 2025, (d) $1.0 billion principal amount of 57/8% Senior Notes due 2026, (e) $1.0 billion principal amount of 51/2% Senior Notes due 2027, (f) $750 million principal amount of the         % Senior Notes due 2025 and (g) $925 million principal amount of 47/8% Senior Notes due 2028; (2) effectively junior to approximately $2.8 billion of the Guarantors' secured obligations, comprised of (i) the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of $1.6 billion of our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, (ii) $106 million of the outstanding borrowings of our Subsidiary Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, (iii) the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of $1.0 billion principal amount of the Secured Notes, (iv) the Guarantors' guarantee obligations in respect of $51 million in our capital leases, (v) $8 million of capital leases of our Subsidiary Guarantors and (vi) $3 million of capital leases of Holdings; and (3) effectively junior to (i) $615 million of indebtedness of our special purpose vehicle in connection with the Existing Securitization Facility and (ii) $5 million of capital leases of our Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors. See "Capitalization."

        The Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors accounted for $223 million, or 8%, and $84 million, or 6%, of our adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company accounted for $510 million, or 9%, and $245 million, or 8%, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company accounted for $2,036 million, or 15%, of our total assets, and $781 million, or 7%, of our total liabilities at June 30, 2017.

        The 2028 Indenture will not contain limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness or preferred stock that the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur or issue. The amount of any such Indebtedness or preferred stock could be substantial and, subject to the limitations set forth in the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens," any such Indebtedness may be secured Indebtedness.

        The guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:

        In addition, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to January 15, 2021, we may, at our option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to an aggregate of 40.0% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided, however, that (1) at least 50.0% of the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding 2028 Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (2) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

Mandatory Redemption

        Except as set forth in the following paragraph, the Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2028 Notes.

        If (i) the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before August 16, 2018 (the "Acquisition Deadline"), (ii) the Company has determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline and gives the Trustee a written notice to that effect, or (iii) the Neff Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, and the Neff Acquisition has not been consummated, we will be required to redeem the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The "Special Mandatory Redemption Date" means the earliest to occur of (i) the Acquisition Deadline, if the Neff Acquisition is not consummated on or before such date, (ii) the 10th business day following written notification by the Company to the Trustee that the Company has determined that the Neff Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Acquisition Deadline, and (iii) the 10th business day following the termination of the Neff Merger Agreement, if the Neff Acquisition has not been consummated.

        If we are required to redeem the 2028 Notes pursuant to this special mandatory redemption because the Neff Acquisition is not completed on or before the Acquisition Deadline, we will cause a conditional notice of redemption to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of the 2028 Notes at its registered address at least five business days prior to the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Date. Such redemption notice will be conditioned upon failure to complete the Neff Acquisition on or before the Acquisition Deadline and any other conditions the Company may determine.

        In all other cases, if we are required to redeem the 2028 Notes pursuant to this special mandatory redemption, we will cause the notice of redemption to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of the 2028 Notes at its registered address within five business days after the occurrence of the event that requires us to redeem such 2028 Notes.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2028 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance with the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Indenture. If funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a paying agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the 2028 Notes will cease to bear interest.

Selection and Notice of Redemption

        In the event that less than all of the 2028 Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such 2028 Notes for redemption will be made on a pro rata basis (subject to the rules of DTC) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided, however, that such 2028 Notes shall only be redeemable in principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of redemption shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to each holder of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance or a satisfaction and discharge of the 2028 Notes.

        Notices of redemption may be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent established by us in our sole discretion. In addition, we may provide in any notice of redemption for the

S-87


Table of Contents

2028 Notes that payment of the redemption price and the performance of our obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

        If any 2028 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such 2028 Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new 2028 Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original 2028 Note. 2028 Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on 2028 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the redemption price.

Change of Control

        Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Issue Date, we shall be obligated to make an offer to purchase all of the then outstanding 2028 Notes (a "Change of Control Offer"), on a business day (the "Change of Control Purchase Date") not more than 60 nor less than 30 days following the delivery to each holder of the 2028 Notes of a notice of the Change of Control (a "Change of Control Notice"). The Change of Control Offer shall be at a purchase price in cash (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Change of Control Purchase Date, subject to the rights of holders of the 2028 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. We shall be required to purchase all 2028 Notes tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn. The Change of Control Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 business days.

        In order to effect such Change of Control Offer, we shall, not later than the 30th day after the Change of Control, deliver the Change of Control Notice to each holder of the 2028 Notes, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall state, among other things, (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such holder's 2028 Notes at the Change of Control Purchase Price, (ii) the date which shall be the Change of Control Purchase Date and (iii) the procedures that holders of the 2028 Notes must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer. The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable to a Change of Control Offer and the repurchase of 2028 Notes pursuant thereto. The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the 2028 Indenture are applicable.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

        The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the 2028 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all 2028 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption for all outstanding 2028 Notes has been given pursuant to the 2028 Indenture as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

        The use of the term "all or substantially all" in provisions of the 2028 Indenture such as clause (b) of the definition of "Change of Control" and under "—Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc." has no clearly established meaning under New York law (which governs the 2028 Indenture) and has been the subject of limited judicial interpretation in only a few jurisdictions. Accordingly, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether any particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of a person, which uncertainty should be considered by prospective purchasers of 2028 Notes.

S-88


Table of Contents

        The provisions under the 2028 Indenture set forth above relating to the Company's obligations to make a Change of Control Offer may, prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, be waived or modified with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2028 Notes issued under the 2028 Indenture. Following the occurrence of a Change of Control, any change, amendment or modification in any material respect of the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer may only be effected with the consent of each holder of the 2028 Notes affected thereby. See "—Amendments and Waivers."

Certain Covenants

        Effectiveness of Covenants.    The 2028 Indenture contains covenants including, among others, the covenants described below.

        During any period of time that: (a) the 2028 Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the 2028 Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) being collectively referred to as a "Covenant Suspension Event"), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to either of the following provisions of the 2028 Indenture (collectively, the "Suspended Covenants"):

        In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under the 2028 Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the "Reversion Date") one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the 2028 Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the 2028 Indenture with respect to future events.

        The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the "Suspension Period." With respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made since the Issue Date will be calculated as though the covenant described under the heading "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" had been in effect during the Suspension Period. Any Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period.

        During the Suspension Period, the obligation to grant further guarantees will be suspended. Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant guarantees pursuant to the covenant described under the heading "—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors" will be reinstated (and the Reversion Date will be deemed to be the date on which any guaranteed Indebtedness was incurred for purposes of the covenant described under the heading "—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors"). In addition, any guarantees that were terminated as described under "—Guarantees" will be required to be reinstated promptly and in no event later than 30 days after the Reversion Date to the extent such guarantees would otherwise be required to be provided under the 2028 Indenture.

        Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period and the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted, following a Reversion Date, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of the Suspended Covenants (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof) under the 2028 Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

S-89


Table of Contents

        There can be no assurance that the 2028 Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

        Limitation on Restricted Payments.    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

        (such payments described in the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) are collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, immediately after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (the amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall be the Fair Market Value of the asset(s) proposed to be transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment):

S-90


Table of Contents

        None of the foregoing provisions will prohibit the following; provided that with respect to payments pursuant to clauses (i), (iv), (v), (vii), (ix), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi) below, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

S-91


Table of Contents

S-92


Table of Contents

        Any payments made pursuant to clauses (i), (xiv), (xv) or (xvi) of this paragraph shall be taken into account, and any payments made pursuant to other clauses of this paragraph shall be excluded, in calculating the amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (C) of the first paragraph of this covenant.

        The Company, in its sole discretion, may classify any Restricted Payment as being made in part under one of the provisions of this covenant and in part under one or more other such provisions (or, as applicable, clauses), or reclassify any Restricted Payment made under one or more of the provisions of this covenant as being made under one or more other provisions (or, as applicable, clauses) of this covenant.

        Limitation on Liens.    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (the "Initial Lien") of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) securing any Indebtedness, unless the 2028 Notes are equally and ratably secured (except that Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness shall be expressly subordinate to Liens securing the 2028 Notes to the same extent such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinate to the 2028 Notes). Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the 2028 Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

        For the purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness secured by a Lien for purposes of, this covenant, (i) in the event that such Lien meets the criteria of more than one type of Permitted Lien, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may from time to time reclassify, such Lien and only be required to include the amount and type of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one or a combination of Permitted Liens; provided that (i) Liens securing Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement shall be treated as incurred pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of "Permitted Liens", and (ii) the Lien of any obligor securing such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have incurred such Lien under this covenant) shall be disregarded to the extent that such Lien secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness.

        Except as provided in the following paragraph with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the amount of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien outstanding as of any date will be:

        (1)   the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

        (2)   the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

        (3)   in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

        For purposes of determining compliance with any dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Liens securing Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness secured by Liens pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness secured by Liens, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness secured by Liens; provided that (x) the dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness secured by Liens

S-93


Table of Contents

outstanding on the Issue Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Issue Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable dollar-denominated restriction on Liens to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness secured by Liens, calculated as described in the following sentence, does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (z) the dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens denominated in a foreign currency and incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company's option, (i) the Issue Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder or (iii) the date of such incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness secured by Liens incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

        Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.    The Company will cause each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, other than (unless otherwise determined by the Company) any Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary, that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or of any other Restricted Subsidiary incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement to, within a reasonable time thereafter, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the 2028 Notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the 2028 Indenture, subject to any limitations that apply to the guarantee of Indebtedness giving rise to the requirement to guarantee the 2028 Notes. This covenant shall not apply to any of the Company's Subsidiaries that have been properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

        Reporting Requirements.    For so long as the 2028 Notes are outstanding, whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto, the Company shall file with the SEC (if permitted by SEC practice and applicable law and regulations) the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor provision thereto if the Company were so subject, such documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, filing such documents by the Company with the SEC is not permitted by SEC practice or applicable law or regulations, the Company shall transmit (or cause to be transmitted) electronically or by mail to all holders of the 2028 Notes, as their names and addresses appear in the 2028 Note register, copies of such documents within 30 days after the Required Filing Date (or make such documents available on a website maintained by the Company or Holdings).

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, etc.

        The Company will not, directly or indirectly, in any transaction or series of transactions, merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to, any Person or Persons, and the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or the Company

and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other person or persons, unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

        In connection with any consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposition contemplated hereby, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposition and the supplemental indenture in respect thereof comply with the requirements under the 2028 Indenture.

        Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraphs, the successor person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is merged or the successor person to which such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company in the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Indenture and, except in the case of a lease, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be released and discharged from its obligations thereunder.

        The 2028 Indenture will provide that for all purposes of the 2028 Indenture and the 2028 Notes (including the provision of this covenant and the covenants described in "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens"), Subsidiaries of any surviving person shall, upon such transaction or series of related transactions, become Restricted Subsidiaries unless and until designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and all Liens on property or assets, of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in existence immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions will be deemed to have been incurred upon such transaction or series of related transactions.

Events of Default

        The following will be "Events of Default" under the 2028 Indenture:

S-96


Table of Contents

        If an Event of Default (other than those covered by clause (viii) or (ix) above with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee and the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding 2028 Notes due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (viii) or (ix) above with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the outstanding 2028 Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the 2028 Notes.

        After a declaration of acceleration under the 2028 Indenture, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration if:

S-97


Table of Contents

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes may on behalf of the holders of all the 2028 Notes waive any past defaults under the 2028 Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any 2028 Note, or in respect of a covenant or provision which under the 2028 Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each 2028 Note outstanding.

        No holder of any of the 2028 Notes has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the 2028 Indenture or any remedy thereunder, unless the holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes have made written request to the Trustee, and offered indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Indenture, the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 45 days after receipt of such notice and the Trustee, within such 45-day period, has not received directions inconsistent with such written request by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a 2028 Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such 2028 Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such 2028 Note.

        During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee is required to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the 2028 Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Subject to the provisions of the 2028 Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, whether or not an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee under the 2028 Indenture is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the 2028 Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the 2028 Notes unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain provisions concerning the rights of the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under the 2028 Indenture.

        If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each holder of the 2028 Notes notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after obtaining knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any 2028 Notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the holders of such 2028 Notes if the Trustee, in good faith, determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the noteholders.

        The Company is required to furnish to the Trustee annual statements as to the performance by the Company of its and its Restricted Subsidiaries' obligations under the 2028 Indenture and as to any default in such performance.

No Liability for Certain Persons

        No director, officer, employee or stockholder of Holdings or the Company, nor any director, officer or employee of any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the 2028 Notes, the guarantees thereof or the 2028 Indenture based on or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder by accepting a 2028 Note waives and releases all

S-98


Table of Contents

such liability. The foregoing waiver and release are an integral part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2028 Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers' certificate, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding 2028 Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their guarantees of such 2028 Notes ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

        In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers) that are described in the 2028 Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the 2028 Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "—Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the 2028 Notes.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

Satisfaction and Discharge

Amendments and Waivers

        From time to time, the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of the holders of any of the outstanding 2028 Notes, amend, waive or supplement the 2028 Indenture, the 2028 Notes or the guarantees for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, mistakes, defects or inconsistencies, conforming any provision to any provision under the heading "Description of the 2028 Notes," qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, the 2028 Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the 2028 Notes, adding Guarantees or releasing or discharging Guarantees in accordance with the terms of the 2028 Indenture, providing for uncertificated 2028 Notes in addition to or in place of certificated 2028 Notes, making such provisions as necessary (as determined in good faith by the Company) for the issuance of Additional Notes or evidencing and providing for the acceptance and appointment under the 2028 Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof. Other amendments and modifications of the 2028 Indenture, the 2028 Notes or the guarantees may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding 2028 Note affected thereby:

The Trustee

        The 2028 Indenture will provide that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee thereunder will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the 2028 Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the 2028 Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

        The 2028 Indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the Trustee thereunder, should it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in such Act) it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

        We maintain banking and lending relationships in the ordinary course of business with the Trustee and its affiliates.

Governing Law

        The 2028 Indenture and the 2028 Notes will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

Additional Information

        Anyone who receives this prospectus supplement may obtain a copy of the 2028 Indenture without charge by writing to United Rentals, Inc., 100 First Stamford Place, Suite 700, Stamford, CT 06902, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The 2028 Notes will be issued in the form of one or more registered global notes (the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

        Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for definitive notes in certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes." Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.

        Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants, which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. The Company takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants.

        The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

        DTC has also advised the Company that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

S-102


Table of Contents

        Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC's system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations which are Participants in such system. All interests in a Global Note may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the Participants, which in turn act on behalf of the Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

        Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have 2028 Notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of 2028 Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the 2028 Indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any on, a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the 2028 Indenture. Under the terms of the 2028 Indenture, the Company and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the 2028 Notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the 2028 Notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

        DTC has advised the Company that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the 2028 Notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of 2028 Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the Company. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the 2028 Notes, and the Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds.

        DTC has advised the Company that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of the 2028 Notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there

S-103


Table of Contents

is an Event of Default under the 2028 Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended 2028 Notes in certificated form, and to distribute such 2028 Notes to its Participants.

        None of the Company, the Trustee and any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

        Any Global Note that is exchangeable as above is exchangeable for certificated notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC shall direct.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The Company will make payments in respect of the 2028 Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. The Company will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The 2028 Notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such 2028 Notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Company expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.
