PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To prospectus dated March 12, 2015)

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.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The notes will be ready for delivery in book-entry form only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company for the accounts of its participants on or about September      , 2017.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe," "expect," "may," "will," "should," "seek," "on-track," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend" or "anticipate," or the negative thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy or outlook. You are cautioned that our business and

operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and, consequently, our actual results may differ materially from those projected.

        Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

the possibility that companies or assets that we have acquired or may acquire, in our specialty business or otherwise, including NES Rentals Holdings II, Inc. ("NES") and Neff, could have undiscovered liabilities or involve other unexpected costs that may strain our management capabilities or may be difficult to integrate;



•

the risk that the proposed Neff Acquisition may not be completed;



•

failure to realize growth prospects and other benefits anticipated as a result of the Neff Acquisition;



•

the cyclical nature of our business, which is highly sensitive to North American construction and industrial activities; if construction or industrial activity decline, our revenues and, because many of our costs are fixed, our profitability may be adversely affected;



•

our significant indebtedness (which, as of June 30, 2017, totaled $8.2 billion on an actual basis and $9.6 billion on the as adjusted basis described under "Capitalization") requires us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow for debt service and can constrain our flexibility in responding to unanticipated or adverse business conditions;



•

inability to refinance our indebtedness on terms that are favorable to us, or at all;



•

incurrence of additional debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our current level of indebtedness;



•

noncompliance with financial or other covenants in our debt agreements, which could result in our lenders terminating the agreements and requiring us to repay outstanding borrowings;



•

restrictive covenants and amount of borrowings permitted in our debt instruments, which can limit our financial and operational flexibility;



•

overcapacity of fleet in the equipment rental industry;



•

inability to benefit from government spending, including spending associated with infrastructure projects;



•

fluctuations in the price of our common stock and inability to complete stock repurchases in the time frame and/or on the terms anticipated;



•

rates we charge and time utilization we achieve being less than anticipated;



•

inability to manage credit risk adequately or to collect on contracts with a large number of customers;



•

inability to access the capital that our businesses or growth plans may require;



•

incurrence of impairment charges;



•

trends in oil and natural gas could adversely affect the demand for our services and products;



•

the fact that our holding company structure requires us to depend in part on distributions from subsidiaries and such distributions could be limited by contractual or legal restrictions;



•

increases in our loss reserves to address business operations or other claims and any claims that exceed our established levels of reserves;

S-iv

Table of Contents

•

incurrence of additional expenses (including indemnification obligations) and other costs in connection with litigation, regulatory and investigatory matters;



•

the outcome or other potential consequences of regulatory matters and commercial litigation;



•

shortfalls in our insurance coverage;



•

our charter provisions as well as provisions of certain debt agreements and our significant indebtedness may have the effect of making more difficult or otherwise discouraging, delaying or deterring a takeover or other change of control of us;



•

turnover in our management team and inability to attract and retain key personnel;



•

costs we incur being more than anticipated, and the inability to realize expected savings in the amounts or time frames planned;



•

dependence on key suppliers to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms;



•

inability to sell our new or used fleet in the amounts, or at the prices, we expect;



•

competition from existing and new competitors;



•

risks related to security breaches, cybersecurity attacks and other significant disruptions in our information technology systems;



•

the costs of complying with environmental, safety and foreign law and regulations, as well as other risks associated with non-U.S. operations, including currency exchange risk;



•

labor disputes, work stoppages or other labor difficulties, which may impact our productivity, and potential enactment of new legislation or other changes in law affecting our labor relations or operations generally;



•

increases in our maintenance and replacement costs and/or decreases in the residual value of our equipment; and



•

other factors discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" of this prospectus supplement and the section titled "Item 1A—Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our Annual Report.

        For a more complete description of these and other possible risks and uncertainties, please refer to our Annual Report, as well as to our subsequent filings with the SEC. Our forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof, and we make no commitment to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements in order to reflect new information or subsequent events, circumstances or changes in expectations.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

        We obtained the industry, market and competitive position data used throughout this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein from our own internal estimates and research, as well as from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Industry publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that each of these publications, studies and surveys is reliable, we have not independently verified industry, market and competitive position data from third-party sources. While we believe our internal business research is reliable and the market definitions are appropriate, neither such research nor these definitions have been verified by any independent source.

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:

•

increasing our vulnerability to, and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;



•

making it more difficult to pay or refinance our debts as they become due during periods of adverse economic, financial market or industry conditions;



•

requiring us to devote a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service, reducing the funds available for other purposes, including funding working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, execution of our growth strategy and other general corporate purposes, or otherwise constraining our financial flexibility;



•

restricting our ability to move operating cash flows to Holdings. URNA's payment capacity is restricted under the covenants in the indentures governing its outstanding indebtedness;



•

affecting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes, particularly since substantially all of our assets are subject to security interests relating to existing indebtedness;



•

decreasing our profitability or cash flow;



•

causing us to be less able to take advantage of significant business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities, and to react to changes in market or industry conditions;



•

causing us to be disadvantaged compared to competitors with less debt and lower debt service requirements;



•

resulting in a downgrade in our credit rating or the credit ratings of any of the indebtedness of our subsidiaries, which could increase the cost of further borrowings;

S-25

---

Table of Contents

•

requiring our debt to become due and payable upon a change in control; and



•

limiting our ability to borrow additional monies in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

        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:

•

reducing or delaying capital expenditures;



•

limiting our growth;



•

seeking additional capital;



•

selling assets; or



•

restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness.

        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.

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;

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:

•

the subsidiary guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor; or



•

the subsidiary guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee; and



•

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;



•

was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or



•

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

        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:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;



•

the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or



•

it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        We cannot predict:

•

what standard a court would apply in order to determine whether a subsidiary guarantor was insolvent as of the date it issued the guarantee or whether, regardless of the method of valuation, a court would determine that the subsidiary guarantor was insolvent on that date; or



•

whether a court would determine that the payments under the guarantee constituted fraudulent transfers or conveyances on other grounds.

        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:

•

URNA might not have enough available funds, particularly since a change of control could cause part or all of our other indebtedness to become due; and



•

the agreements governing the ABL Facility would, and other indebtedness may, prohibit URNA from repurchasing the notes, unless we were able to obtain a waiver or refinance such indebtedness.

        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:

•

the liquidity or sustainability of any market for the notes;



•

your ability to sell the notes; or

S-31

---

Table of Contents

•

the price at which you would be able to sell your notes.

        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:

•

our operating performance, financial condition and prospects, or the operating performance, financial condition and prospects of companies in the equipment rental industry generally;



•

the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the notes;



•

prevailing interest rates; and



•

the market for similar securities.

        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:

•

URNA and the guarantors of the notes had outstanding an aggregate principal amount of $1.696 billion of indebtedness secured by a first-priority lien outstanding and $764 million of borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility (net of outstanding letters of credit of $40 million), subject to, among other things, their maintenance of a sufficient borrowing base under such facility;



•

URNA and the guarantors of the notes had outstanding an aggregate principal amount of $1.000 billion of indebtedness secured on a second-priority lien basis under URNA's senior secured notes (which are guaranteed by the guarantors); and



•

URNA and the guarantors of the notes had outstanding an aggregate of $62 million of indebtedness under capital leases secured by assets that do not constitute collateral under the ABL Facility and URNA's senior secured notes.

        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.

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:

•

general unsecured obligations of the Company;



•

pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Company;



•

effectively junior to all of the Company's existing and future secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness;



•

senior in right of payment to any existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company; and



•

guaranteed by Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

        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

Table of Contents

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.

Table of Contents

        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:

•

will be a general unsecured obligation of that Guarantor;



•

will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor;



•

will be effectively junior to all of that Guarantor's existing and future secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness; and



•

will be senior in right of payment to any existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor.

        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."

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:

(1)

upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided such sale or disposition is permitted by the 2025 Indenture;



(2)

upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided such sale or disposition is permitted by the 2025 Indenture;



(3)

upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result thereof or has occurred and is continuing;



(4)

upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the 2025 Indenture;



(5)

if the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor under the 2025 Indenture as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;



(6)

at the Company's request, during any Suspension Period; or



(7)

at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any other Indebtedness outstanding that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors," except as a result of a payment in respect of such other Indebtedness by such Subsidiary Guarantor.

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

on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 15 of each of the years indicated below:

        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"):

(1)

"—Limitation on Restricted Payments"; and



(2)

"—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors".

        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.

        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

S-50

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:

        (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:

        (a)   the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

        (b)   the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

        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:

(b)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

        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.

        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.

(a)

the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:



(i)

all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the 2025 Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;



(ii)

all overdue interest on all the 2025 Notes;



(iii)

the principal of and premium, if any, on any 2025 Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the 2025 Notes; and

(c)

all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2025 Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

        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:

(1)

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.

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:

(1)

upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the underwriters with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and



(2)

ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

        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:

(1)

any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or



(2)

any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

        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:

(1)

DTC (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor depositary;



(2)

the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all the 2025 Notes represented by Global Notes; or



(3)

a default entitling the holders of the 2025 Notes to accelerate the maturity thereof has occurred and is continuing.

        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 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.

all current maturities of long-term Indebtedness, all as determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

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:

(a)

the making of any Restricted Payment requiring calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio;



(b)

the incurrence, repayment, defeasance, retirement or discharge of any Indebtedness by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of the Four Quarter Period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid, defeased, retired or discharged at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the Four Quarter Period or such shorter for which such facility was outstanding (or, if such facility was created after the end of the Four Quarter Period, based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation or such shorter period)); and



(c)

any Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition occurring since the first day of the Four Quarter Period (including to the date of calculation) as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of such Four Quarter Period.

        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.

        If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third person, the above clause shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if such Person or such Subsidiary had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2028 NOTES

        We will issue the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") under an indenture (the "2028 Indenture"), dated as of September                     , 2017, among us, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

        The terms of the 2028 Notes will include those expressly set forth in the 2028 Indenture and those made part of the 2028 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 2028 Notes and the 2028 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 2028 Notes and the 2028 Indenture, including the definitions of certain terms used in the 2028 Indenture. We urge you to read these documents because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the 2028 Notes. Copies of the 2028 Indenture are available as set forth below under "—Additional Information."

        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 described herein relating to 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. See "—Exchange Offer."

        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 2028 Indenture. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "2028 Notes" include the 2028 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 2028 Notes

        The 2028 Notes will be:

•

general unsecured obligations of the Company;



•

pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Company;



•

effectively junior to all of the Company's existing and future secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness;



•

senior in right of payment to any existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company; and



•

guaranteed by Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

        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 2028 Indenture. The Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee 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 "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 2028 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        % Senior Notes due 2025 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 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,

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:

•

will be a general unsecured obligation of that Guarantor;



•

will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor;



•

will be effectively junior to all of that Guarantor's existing and future secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness; and



•

will be senior in right of payment to any existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor.

        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:

(1)

upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving

S-85

effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided such sale or disposition is permitted by the 2028 Indenture;

(2)

upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided such sale or disposition is permitted by the 2028 Indenture;



(3)

upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result thereof or has occurred and is continuing;



(4)

upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the 2028 Indenture;



(5)

if the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor under the 2028 Indenture as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;



(6)

at the Company's request, during any Suspension Period; or



(7)

at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any other Indebtedness outstanding that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors," except as a result of a payment in respect of such other Indebtedness by such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Optional Redemption

        Except as set forth below, we will not be entitled to redeem the 2028 Notes at our option prior to January 15, 2023.

        The 2028 Notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after January 15, 2023, 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 on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January 15 of each of the years indicated below:

        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.

        Prior to January 15, 2023, we will be entitled at our option to redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 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 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.

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"):

(1)

"—Limitation on Restricted Payments"; and



(2)

"—Additional Subsidiary Guarantors".

        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.

        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:

(a)

declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution or payment on or in respect of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or make any payment to the direct or indirect holders (in their capacities as such) of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than dividends or distributions payable solely in Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock)) (other than the declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions to the extent declared or paid to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary);

(c)

make any principal payment on, or purchase, defease, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment, scheduled sinking fund payment or other Stated Maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness (other than (A) any such Subordinated Indebtedness owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value (collectively, for purposes of this clause (c), a "purchase") of Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment, final maturity or exercise of a right to put on a set scheduled date (but not including any put right in connection with a change of control event), in each case due within one year of the date of such purchase; provided that, in the case of any such purchase in anticipation of the exercise of a put right, at the time of such purchase, it is more likely than not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, that such put right would be exercised if such put right were exercisable on the date of such purchase),

        (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):

(1)

50.0% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from January 1, 2012 to the end of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such

(2)

the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of property or assets received by the Company as capital contributions to the Company after March 9, 2012 or from the issuance or sale of Capital Stock (excluding Redeemable Capital Stock of the Company) of the Company to any Person (other than an issuance or sale to a Subsidiary of the Company and other than an issuance or sale to an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees) after March 9, 2012;



(3)

the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) upon the exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase shares of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) of the Company; and

        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:

(i)

the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of its declaration, if at the date of declaration such payment would be permitted by the first paragraph of this covenant;

(iii)

any redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness by exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent issue and sale of Indebtedness of the Company which:



(1)

has no scheduled principal payment prior to the 91st day after the Maturity Date; and



(2)

has an Average Life to Stated Maturity greater than the remaining Average Life to Stated Maturity of the 2028 Notes issued under the 2028 Indenture;

        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:

        (a)   the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

        (b)   the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

        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 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:

(a)

either:



(i)

if the transaction or transactions is a merger or consolidation, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be the surviving person of such merger or consolidation; or



(ii)

the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company, or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, substantially as an entirety, are transferred (any such surviving person or transferee person being the "Surviving Entity") shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume pursuant to a supplemental indenture and such other necessary agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee all the obligations of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, under the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Indenture; and



(b)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

        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.

        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:

(a)

the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:



(i)

all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the 2028 Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

all overdue interest on all the 2028 Notes;

Table of Contents

(b)

the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and



(c)

all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2028 Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

        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:

(1)

the rights of holders of outstanding 2028 Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such 2028 Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;



(2)

the Company's obligations with respect to the 2028 Notes concerning issuing temporary 2028 Notes, registration of 2028 Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen 2028 Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;



(3)

the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and



(4)

the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of the 2028 Indenture.

        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:

(1)

the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the 2028 Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on, the outstanding 2028 Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the 2028 Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;



(2)

in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the 2028 Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding 2028 Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;



(3)

in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding 2028 Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

S-99

Table of Contents

(4)

no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;



(5)

such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the 2028 Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;



(6)

the Company must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of the 2028 Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and



(7)

the Company must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The 2028 Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the 2028 Notes as expressly provided for in the 2028 Indenture) as to all outstanding 2028 Notes when:

(i)

either:



(a)

all the 2028 Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed 2028 Notes which have been replaced or repaid and the 2028 Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or



(b)

all the 2028 Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (except lost, stolen or destroyed 2028 Notes which have been replaced or paid) have become due and payable, will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year, or will become due and payable within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the 2028 Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2028 Notes to the date of deposit (in the case of the 2028 Notes that have become due and payable) or to the maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;



(ii)

the Company has paid all other sums payable under the 2028 Indenture by the Company; and



(iii)

the Company has delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the 2028 Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of such 2028 Indenture have been complied with.

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:

(i)

reduce the principal amount of, extend the fixed maturity of or alter the redemption provisions of, the 2028 Notes;



(ii)

change the currency in which any 2028 Notes or any premium, or the interest thereon is payable;



(iii)

reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding 2028 Notes that must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver or consent to take any action under the 2028 Indenture or the 2028 Notes;



(iv)

impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the 2028 Notes;

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.

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:

(1)

upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the underwriters with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and



(2)

ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the

S-102

Table of Contents

Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

        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:

(1)

any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or



(2)

any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

        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:

(1)

DTC (a) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor depositary;



(2)

the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all the 2028 Notes represented by Global Notes; or



(3)

a default entitling the holders of the 2028 Notes to accelerate the maturity thereof has occurred and is continuing.

        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.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of owning the notes we are offering. This discussion applies to you only if you acquire the notes in the offering at their issue price and hold them as capital assets for tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

•

a dealer in securities,



•

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings,



•

a bank,



•

a life insurance company,



•

a tax-exempt organization,



•

a person that owns the notes that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate risks,



•

a person that owns the notes as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes,



•

a person that purchases or sells the notes as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or



•

a United States holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

        If you purchase the notes at a price other than the offering price, the amortizable bond premium or market discount rules may also apply to you. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding this possibility.

        This section is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Code ("Treasury regulations"), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

        If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership) holds the notes, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership) holding the notes should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the notes.

        Please consult your own tax advisor concerning the consequences of owning the notes in your particular circumstances under the Code and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

United States Holders

        This subsection describes the tax consequences to a United States holder. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of a note and you are:

•

a citizen or resident of the United States,



•

a domestic corporation,



•

an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or



•

a trust (i) if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

S-125

Table of Contents

        If you are not a United States holder, this subsection does not apply to you and you should refer to "—United States Alien Holders" below.

Payments of Interest

        Subject to the following sentence, you will be taxed on the stated interest on the notes as ordinary income at the time you receive such interest or when it accrues, depending on your method of accounting for tax purposes. However, a holder of 2028 notes will not include in income the portion of the first interest payment on the 2028 notes that is equal to the accrued interest amount that the holder paid upon its purchase of the 2028 notes.

Change of Control

        As described in the sections titled "Description of the 2025 Notes—Change of Control" and "Description of the 2028 Notes—Change of Control", upon the occurrence of a Change of Control we may be obligated to make additional payments on the notes in excess of stated interest and principal. We intend to take the position that there is no more than a remote chance that a Change of Control will occur and the notes should accordingly not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments because of the additional payments. Assuming such position is respected, you would be required to include in income the amount of any such additional payment at the time such payments are received or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. If the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") successfully challenged this position, and the notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, you could be required to accrue interest income at a rate higher than the stated interest rate on the notes and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, a portion of the gain recognized on a sale, retirement or redemption of the notes. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof.

Sale, Retirement or Redemption of the Notes

        You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, retirement or redemption of the notes equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the sale, retirement or redemption, excluding any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest (which will be treated as interest payments), and your adjusted tax basis in the notes. Your adjusted tax basis in a note will generally be its cost to you (excluding amounts paid in respect of accrued interest). Capital gain of a noncorporate United States holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the holder has a holding period greater than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Medicare Tax

        A United States holder that is an individual, estate or trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax (the "Medicare tax") on the lesser of (1) the United States holder's "net investment income" (or "undistributed net investment income" in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States holder's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual's circumstances). A holder's net investment income generally includes its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of its notes, unless such interest income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a United States holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the notes.

United States Alien Holders

        This subsection describes the tax consequences to a United States alien holder. You are a United States alien holder if you are the beneficial owner of a note and you are, for United States federal income tax purposes:

•

a nonresident alien individual,



•

a foreign corporation, or



•

an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from a note.

        If you are a United States holder, this subsection does not apply to you.

Withholding Taxes

        Subject to the discussions of FATCA withholding and backup withholding below, payments of principal and interest on the notes generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding taxes.

        However, for the exemption from withholding taxes to apply to you, you must meet one of the following requirements:

•

You provide a completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or substitute form to the bank, broker or other intermediary through which you hold your notes. The form you provide contains your name, address and a statement that you are the beneficial owner of the notes and that you are not a United States holder.



•

You hold your notes directly through a "qualified intermediary," and the qualified intermediary has sufficient information in its files indicating that you are not a United States holder. A qualified intermediary is a bank, broker or other intermediary that (1) is either a U.S. or non-U.S. entity, (2) is acting out of a non-U.S. branch or office and (3) has signed an agreement with the IRS providing that it will administer all or part of the U.S. tax withholding rules under specified procedures.



•

You are entitled to an exemption from withholding tax on interest under a tax treaty between the U.S. and your country of residence. To claim this exemption, you must generally provide a completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E and claim this exemption on the form. In some cases, you may instead be permitted to provide documentary evidence of your claim to the intermediary, or a qualified intermediary may already have some or all of the necessary evidence in its files.



•

The interest income on the notes is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. and is not exempt from U.S. federal income tax under a tax treaty. To claim this exemption, you must provide a completed IRS Form W-8ECI.

        Even if you meet one of the above requirements, interest paid to you may be subject to withholding tax under any of the following circumstances:

•

The withholding agent or an intermediary knows or has reason to know that you are not entitled to an exemption from withholding tax. Specific rules apply for this test.



•

The IRS notifies the withholding agent that information that you or an intermediary provided concerning your status is false.



•

An intermediary through which you hold the notes fails to comply with the procedures necessary to avoid withholding taxes on the notes. In particular, an intermediary is generally required to forward a copy of your IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or other documentary information concerning your status to the withholding agent for the notes. However, if you hold your notes through a qualified

S-127

---

Table of Contents

intermediary—or if there is a qualified intermediary in the chain of title between yourself and the withholding agent for the notes—the qualified intermediary will not generally forward this information to the withholding agent.

•

You own 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company or the guarantors, are a "controlled foreign corporation" with respect to the Company or the guarantors, or are a bank making a loan in the ordinary course of its business. In these cases, you generally will be exempt from withholding taxes only if you are eligible for a treaty exemption or if the interest income is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S., as discussed above.

        Interest payments made to you will generally be reported to the IRS and to you on IRS Form 1042-S. However, this reporting does not apply to you if you hold your notes directly through a qualified intermediary and the applicable procedures are complied with.

        The rules regarding withholding are complex and vary depending on your individual situation. They are also subject to change. We suggest that you consult with your tax advisor regarding the specific methods for satisfying these requirements.

Sale, Retirement or Redemption of the Notes

        If you sell a note or it is retired or redeemed, you will not be subject to federal income tax on any gain unless one of the following applies:

•

The gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S.



•

You are an individual, you are present in the U.S. for at least 183 days during the year in which you dispose of the note, and certain other conditions are satisfied.



•

A portion of the amount you receive upon a sale, retirement or redemption represents accrued but unpaid interest, in which case the rules for interest (discussed under "—Withholding Taxes" above) would apply to such portion.

U.S. Trade or Business

        If you hold your note in connection with a trade or business that you are conducting in the U.S.:

•

Any interest on the note, and any gain from disposing of the note, generally will be subject to income tax as if you were a United States Holder.



•

If you are a corporation, you may be subject to a 30% "branch profits tax" on your earnings that are connected with your U.S. trade or business, including earnings from the note. The branch profits tax may be reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty.

Estate Taxes

        A note held by an individual who at death is not a citizen or resident of the United States will not be includible in the individual's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes if:

•

the decedent did not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote at the time of death; and



•

the income on the note would not have been effectively connected with a United States trade or business of the decedent at the same time.

FATCA Withholding

        Pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), a 30% withholding tax ("FATCA withholding") may be imposed on certain

S-128

---

Table of Contents

payments to you or to certain foreign financial institutions, investment funds and other non-U.S. persons receiving payments on your behalf if you or such persons fail to comply with certain information reporting requirements. Such payments will include U.S. source interest and the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the debt instruments that can produce U.S. source interest. Payments of interest that you receive in respect of the notes could be affected by this withholding if you are subject to the FATCA information reporting requirements and fail to comply with them or if you hold the notes through a non-U.S. person (e.g., a foreign bank or broker) that fails to comply with these requirements (even if payments to you would not otherwise have been subject to FATCA withholding). Payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the notes could also be subject to FATCA withholding unless such disposition occurs before January 1, 2019. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the relevant U.S. law and other official guidance on FATCA withholding.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

        In general, if you are a noncorporate United States holder, we and other payors are required to report to the IRS all payments of principal, any premium and interest on your note. In addition, we and other payors are required to report to the IRS any payment of proceeds of a sale or redemption of your notes before maturity within the United States. Additionally, backup withholding would apply to any payments if you fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number, or (in the case of interest payments) you are notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest and dividends required to be shown on your federal income tax returns.

        In general, if you are a United States alien holder, we and other payors are required to report payments of interest on your notes on IRS Form 1042-S. Payments of principal, premium or interest made by us and other payors to you will otherwise not be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, provided that the certification requirements described above under "—United States Alien Holders—Withholding Taxes" are satisfied or you otherwise establish an exemption. In addition, payment of the proceeds from a sale of notes effected at a United States office of a broker will not be subject to backup withholding and information reporting if (i) the payor or broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and (ii) you have furnished to the payor or broker an appropriate IRS Form W-8, an acceptable substitute form or other documentation upon which it may rely to treat the payment as made to a non-United States person.

        In general, payment of the proceeds from a sale of notes effected at a foreign office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, a sale effected at a foreign office of a broker could be subject to information reporting in the same manner as a sale within the United States (and in certain cases may be subject to backup withholding as well) if (i) the broker has certain connections to the United States, (ii) the proceeds or confirmation are sent to the United States or (iii) the sale has certain other specified connections with the United States. In addition, certain foreign brokers may be required to report the amount of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of notes under FATCA if you are, or are presumed to be, a United States person.

        You generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules that exceed your income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

        Subject to the terms and conditions in the underwriting agreement dated the date hereof among us and the underwriters named below, for whom Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as representative, we have agreed to sell to each of the underwriters, and each of the underwriters has severally agreed to purchase from us, the principal amount of the notes indicated in the following table.

        Under the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, if the underwriters purchase any of the notes, then they are obligated to purchase all of the notes.

        The underwriters propose to offer the notes initially at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the initial offering of the notes to the public, the underwriters may change the public offering price.

        We estimate that the total expenses of this offering to be paid by us, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $3 million.

        We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefore on or about                        , 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 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.

        In connection with this offering and in compliance with applicable law, the underwriters may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing and syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

•

Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position.



•

The underwriters may also effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the notes at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market.

S-130

---

Table of Contents

•

Such transactions may include placing bids for the notes or effecting purchases of the notes for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the notes.



•

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.



•

Penalty bids permit the representatives of the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the notes sold by that syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

        These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the price of the notes to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities and such activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        The notes are offered for sale only in those jurisdictions where it is legal to offer them.

        There is no public market for the notes. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that, following completion of the offering of the notes, they intend to continue to make a market in the notes, as permitted by applicable law. They are not obligated, however, to make a market in the notes, and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice, in their sole discretion. If any of the underwriters ceases to act as a market-maker for the notes for any reason, there can be no assurance that another firm or person will make a market in the notes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any market for these notes.

        Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

        We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities.

Conflicts of Interest

        In the ordinary course of their business, the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and/or investment banking transactions and financial advisory transactions with us and our affiliates for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates has a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby.

        In particular, 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.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES WE MAY ISSUE

        We may use this prospectus to offer from time to time:

•

Debt securities.  The debt securities may be senior debt securities or, in the case of URNA, senior secured, senior unsecured or senior subordinated debt securities. The debt securities may be convertible into, or exchangeable for, Holdings' common stock, preferred stock or other securities. In the case of debt securities issued by URNA, Holdings will, and certain of URNA's subsidiaries may, fully and unconditionally guarantee the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, such debt securities. The senior unsecured debt securities of URNA will rank equally in right of payment with any of URNA's other senior debt. The subordinated debt securities of URNA will be unsecured and will rank junior in right of payment and priority to any senior debt of URNA. URNA's secured debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with, but will be effectively senior to, the senior unsecured debt securities of URNA to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.



•

Shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holdings.



•

Shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holdings. The preferred stock may be convertible into, or exchangeable for, other series of Holdings' preferred stock or common stock. We may offer different series of preferred stock with different dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights.



•

Warrants.  These warrants may be issued by Holdings for the purchase of our debt securities, common stock or preferred stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with debt securities, common stock or preferred stock, and may be attached to or separate from those securities.

        The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific types, amounts, prices and detailed terms of any of these securities to the extent they are not described in this prospectus.

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

        The following description of the debt securities outlines some of the provisions of the debt securities. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable indenture and its associated documents, including the form of note. We have filed forms of the indentures with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information" for information on how to obtain copies of them. The specific terms of any series of debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a prospectus supplement, the terms of that series of debt securities may differ from the general description of terms presented below.

        Please note that, in this section titled "Description of Debt Securities," references to "we," "our" and "us" refer either to Holdings or to URNA, as the case may be, as the issuer of the applicable series of debt securities and not to any subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. Also, in this section, references to "holders" mean those who own debt securities registered in their own names on the books that we or the trustee maintain for this purpose and not those who own beneficial interests in debt securities registered in street name or in debt securities issued in book-entry form through one or more depositaries. Owners of beneficial interests in the debt securities should read the section titled "—Book-Entry, Delivery and Form."

Debt Securities May Be Senior or Senior Subordinated and May Be Secured or Unsecured

        Holdings and URNA may issue debt securities which, in the case of Holdings, will be senior unsecured debt securities and, in the case of URNA, may be senior secured, senior unsecured or senior subordinated debt securities. Neither the senior unsecured debt securities nor the senior subordinated debt securities will be secured by any property or assets of Holdings, URNA or any of their respective subsidiaries. Thus, by owning such debt security, you are an unsecured creditor of Holdings or URNA, as the case may be. As a result, such senior unsecured debt securities and senior subordinated debt securities will be structurally subordinate to the secured indebtedness of Holdings or URNA, as the case may be, including any senior secured debt securities, to the extent of the value of the applicable collateral. In addition, the debt securities may be convertible into, or exchangeable for, Holdings' common stock, preferred stock or other securities.

        The senior unsecured debt securities will be issued under the applicable senior debt indenture, as described below, and will rank equally with all the other senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Holdings or URNA, as the case may be.

        The senior subordinated debt securities of URNA will be issued under the senior subordinated debt indenture, as described below, and payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the senior subordinated debt securities will be junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of URNA's "senior indebtedness," as defined in the senior subordinated debt indenture. The prospectus supplement for any series of senior subordinated debt securities will set forth the subordination terms of such debt securities, as well as the aggregate amount of senior indebtedness outstanding as of the end of URNA's most recent fiscal quarter. The prospectus supplement will also set forth limitations, if any, on issuance of additional senior indebtedness. Holdings' senior indebtedness will be structurally subordinate to the indebtedness of URNA and will be structurally subordinate to the indebtedness of the subsidiaries of URNA. URNA's indebtedness is, and any additional indebtedness of URNA will be, structurally subordinate to the indebtedness of URNA's subsidiaries (except to the extent such subsidiary guarantees and/or secures such indebtedness and solely to the extent of such guarantee and/or such collateral) and will be structurally senior to any indebtedness of Holdings (except to the extent URNA guarantees such indebtedness and solely to the extent of such guarantee).

        When we refer to "senior debt securities," we mean both the senior debt securities of Holdings and the senior debt securities (both secured and unsecured) of URNA, unless the context requires

otherwise. When we refer to "senior subordinated debt securities," we mean the senior subordinated debt securities of URNA, unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to "debt securities," we mean both the senior debt securities and the senior subordinated debt securities, unless the context requires otherwise.

Limitation of Pledges of Stock of Subsidiaries

        The collateral for any secured debt securities shall include securities of a subsidiary of URNA only to the extent that URNA determines that the inclusion of such securities in the collateral will not result in the Company being required to file or furnish separate financial statements of the person issuing such securities under Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor thereto.

The Senior Debt Indenture of Holdings

        The senior debt securities of Holdings are governed by a document called an indenture. Each indenture is a contract between Holdings, as the issuer of the debt securities, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which will initially act as trustee.

        The trustee has two main roles:

•

First, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, which we describe under "—Events of Default."



•

Second, the trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending interest payments and notices.

        When we refer to the indenture or the trustee with respect to any debt securities of Holdings, we mean the indenture under which those debt securities are issued and the trustee acting pursuant to that indenture.

The Senior Debt Indenture, the Senior Secured Debt Indenture and the Senior Subordinated Debt Indenture of URNA

        The senior secured debt securities, senior unsecured debt securities and the senior subordinated debt securities of URNA are each governed by a document called an indenture—the senior secured debt indenture, in the case of the senior secured debt securities, the senior debt indenture, in the case of the senior unsecured debt securities, and the senior subordinated debt indenture, in the case of the senior subordinated debt securities. Each indenture is a contract between (i) URNA, as issuer of the debt securities, (ii) Holdings and certain subsidiaries of URNA, if applicable, as guarantors, and (iii) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which will initially act as trustee and, in the case of the senior secured debt securities, as the notes collateral agent. The indentures governing the debt securities of URNA are substantially identical, with certain exceptions such as the provisions relating to subordination, which are included only in the senior subordinated debt indenture, and certain provisions related to security, which are included only in the senior secured debt indenture.

        Under each indenture, Holdings will, and certain subsidiaries of URNA may, fully and unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, to each holder and the trustee, the full and prompt performance of URNA's obligations under the indenture and the debt securities, including the payment of principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the debt securities. The guarantee of any senior subordinated debt securities by Holdings and those subsidiaries of URNA will be subordinated to the senior indebtedness of Holdings or such subsidiary guarantor, as applicable, on the same basis as such senior subordinated debt securities are subordinated to the senior indebtedness of URNA.

        When we refer to the indenture, the guarantors or the trustee with respect to any debt securities of URNA, we mean the indenture under which those debt securities are issued, Holdings and any subsidiary guarantors of those debt securities and the trustee acting pursuant to that indenture.

We May Issue Many Series of Debt Securities

        We may issue as many distinct series of debt securities as we wish. Additionally, the provisions of each indenture allow us to "reopen" a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. This section of the prospectus summarizes terms of the securities that apply generally to all series. We will describe most of the financial and other specific terms of a series, including any additional terms of any guarantee, whether it be a series of the senior debt securities or senior subordinated debt securities, in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus. Those terms may vary from the terms described here.

        As you read this section of the prospectus, please remember that the specific terms of the debt securities will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and that such description may modify or replace the general terms described in this section. If there are any differences between the prospectus supplement and this prospectus, the prospectus supplement will control. Thus, the statements we make in this section may not apply to your debt security.

        When we refer to a series of debt securities, we mean a series issued under the applicable indenture. When we refer to the prospectus supplement, we mean the prospectus supplement describing the specific terms of the debt security you purchase. The terms used in the prospectus supplement have the meanings described in this prospectus, unless otherwise specified.

Principal Amount, Stated Maturity and Maturity

        The "principal amount" of a debt security means the principal amount, plus the premium, if any, payable at its stated maturity, unless that amount is not determinable, in which case the principal amount of a debt security is its face amount. Any debt securities owned by us or any of our affiliates are not deemed to be outstanding for certain determinations under the indenture.

        The term "stated maturity" with respect to any debt security means the day on which the principal amount of the debt security is scheduled to become due. The principal may become due sooner by reason of redemption or acceleration after a default or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the debt security. The day on which the principal actually becomes due, whether at the stated maturity or earlier, is called the "maturity" of the principal.

        We also use the terms "stated maturity" and "maturity" to refer to the days when other payments become due. For example, we refer to a regular interest payment date when an installment of interest is scheduled to become due as the "stated maturity" of that installment.

        When we refer to the "stated maturity" or the "maturity" of a debt security without specifying a particular payment, we mean the stated maturity or maturity, as the case may be, of the principal.

Events of Default

        The following will be "Events of Default" under the indenture:

        (i)    default in the payment of the principal of, or premium (if any) on, any of the debt securities, when due and payable (at stated maturity, upon optional redemption, or otherwise), whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the indenture, if any;

        (ii)   default in the payment of an installment of interest on any debt security, when due and payable, for 30 days, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the indenture, if any;

        (v)   if the debt securities are senior secured debt securities, any of the "notes collateral documents" (as defined in the senior secured debt indenture) shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms or the terms of such indenture), or URNA or a guarantor, in each case that is a party to any of the notes collateral documents shall so assert in writing, or (b) the lien created by any of the notes collateral documents shall cease to be perfected and enforceable in accordance with its terms or of the same effect as to perfection and priority purported to be created thereby with respect to any significant portion of the collateral (other than in connection with any termination of such lien in respect of any collateral as permitted by the indenture or by any of the notes collateral documents), and such failure of such lien to be perfected and enforceable with such priority shall have continued unremedied for a period of 20 days.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (iii) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, and premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on, all the outstanding debt securities will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of debt securities.

Table of Contents

        After a declaration of acceleration under the 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 debt securities, by written notice to us and the trustee, may rescind such declaration if:

(i)

we have paid or deposited with the trustee a sum sufficient to pay:



(a)

all sums paid or advanced by the trustee under the indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the trustee, its agents and counsel;



(b)

all overdue interest on all debt securities;



(c)

the principal of, and premium (if any) on, any debt securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the debt securities; and



(d)

to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate set forth in the debt securities which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration;



(ii)

the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and



(iii)

all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the debt securities that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

        The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities waive any past defaults under the indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, any debt security, or in respect of a covenant or provision which under the indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each debt security outstanding.

        No holder of any of the debt securities has any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless (i) such holder has previously given written notice to the trustee of a continuing Event of Default, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have made written request to the trustee to institute such proceeding as the trustee under the debt securities and the indenture, (iii) such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iv) the trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 45 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and (v) 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 debt securities. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, such debt security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such debt security.

        During the existence of an Event of Default, the trustee is required to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the 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 indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, whether or not an Event of Default will occur and be continuing, the trustee is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders will have offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it.

15

Table of Contents

Subject to certain provisions concerning the rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee under the indenture.

        If a default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the trustee, the trustee will mail to each holder of the debt securities 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 the principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, any debt securities, the trustee may withhold the notice to the holders of such debt securities if and so long as a committee of its responsible officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the holders of the debt securities.

        We are required to furnish to the trustee annual statements as to our performance of our obligations under the indenture and as to any default in such performance. We are also required to notify the trustee within five days of any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

No Liability for Certain Persons

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

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities, as expressly provided for in the indenture) as to all outstanding debt securities when:

(i)

either:



(a)

all the debt securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed debt securities which have been replaced or repaid and debt securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by us and thereafter repaid to us or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or



(b)

all debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (except lost, stolen or destroyed debt securities which have been replaced or paid) have become due and payable, will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or will become due and payable within one year under arrangements acceptable to the trustee, and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation, for the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the debt securities to the date of deposit (in the case of debt securities that have become due and payable) or to the maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from us directing the trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;



(ii)

we have paid all other sums payable under the indenture by us; and

Table of Contents

(iii)

we have delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture have been complied with.

Amendments and Waivers

        From time to time, we, when authorized by a resolution of our or URNA's Board of Directors, as applicable (the "Board"), the trustee and the notes collateral agent, if applicable, may, without the consent of the holders of any outstanding debt securities, enter into any additional or supplemental notes collateral documents, amend, waive or supplement the indenture, the notes collateral documents, the intercreditor agreement or the debt securities, as applicable, for certain specified purposes described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, among other things, adding to our covenants or surrendering any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture, securing any of the debt securities, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, qualifying (or maintaining the qualification of) the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; provided, however, that such amendments, waivers or supplements do not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities or release collateral from the lien of the indenture or the notes collateral documents. Other amendments and modifications of the indenture, the notes collateral documents, the intercreditor agreement or the debt securities may be made by us, the trustee and the notes collateral agent, if applicable, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities; provided, however, that, in regard to senior secured debt securities, without the consent of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of secured notes then outstanding, an amendment, modification or waiver may not (a) effect a release of all or substantially all of the collateral from the liens securing the indenture obligations or (b) release any guarantor from any of its obligations under its guarantee or the indenture, and provided further that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby:

(i)

reduce the principal amount of, extend the stated maturity of or alter the redemption provisions of, any debt security;



(ii)

change the currency in which any debt security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable;



(iii)

reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities that must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver or consent to take any action under the indenture or the debt security or any guarantee;



(iv)

impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the debt securities or any guarantee;



(v)

waive a default in payment with respect to the debt securities or any guarantee;

reduce or change the rate or time for payment of interest on the debt securities;



(vii)

modify the terms upon which those debt securities are convertible into, or exchangeable for, Holding's other securities in a manner adverse to the holders; or



(viii)

modify or change any provision in the indenture affecting the ranking of the debt securities or, in the case of debt securities entitled to the benefit of any guarantee, any guarantee in a manner adverse to the holders.

The Trustee

        The indenture provides 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 indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the 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 indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee thereunder, should it become a creditor of ours, 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.

Governing Law

        The indentures, the debt securities and any guarantees of those debt securities will be governed by New York law.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The debt securities will be issued in the form of one or more registered global debt securities (the "Global Debt Securities"). The Global Debt Securities will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("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 Debt Securities 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 Debt Securities may not be exchanged for debt securities in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Debt Securities for Certificated Debt Securities." Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Debt Securities will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities in certificated form.

        Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Debt Securities 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. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised us 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 Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, 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

18

---

Table of Contents

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 us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

(i)

upon deposit of the Global Debt Securities, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the underwriters with portions of the principal amount of the Global Debt Securities; and



(ii)

ownership interests in the Global Debt Securities will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Debt Securities).

        Investors in the Global Debt Securities who are Participants in DTC's system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Debt Securities who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations which are Participants in such system. All interests in a Global Debt Security 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 Debt Security to such persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a Global Debt Security 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 an interest in the Global Debt Securities will not have debt securities registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of debt securities in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or holders thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the Global Debt Securities will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, we and the trustee will treat the persons in whose names the debt securities, including the Global Debt Securities, are registered as the owners of the debt securities for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, the trustee nor any agent of ours or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

(i)

any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Debt Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Debt Securities; or



(ii)

any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

        DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the debt securities (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 it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership 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 the debt securities will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the

19

---

Table of Contents

responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or us. Neither we nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the debt securities, and we 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 us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of debt securities only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Debt Securities and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the debt securities, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Debt Securities for debt securities in certificated form and to distribute such debt securities to its Participants.

        Neither we, the trustee nor any agent of ours of the trustee 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 Debt Securities for Certificated Debt Securities

        Subject to certain conditions, a Global Debt Security is exchangeable for certificated debt securities in definitive form of like tenor in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof if:

(i)

DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Debt Securities or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, in either case, we are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days;



(ii)

we, in our discretion, at any time determine not to have all the debt securities represented by the Global Debt Securities; or



(iii)

an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

        Any Global Debt Security that is exchangeable as described above is exchangeable for certificated debt securities issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC will direct.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        We will make payments in respect of the debt securities represented by the Global Debt Securities (including principal, premium (if any) and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holder of the Global Debt Security. We will make all payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest, with respect to certificated debt securities by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the certificated debt securities or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address.

DESCRIPTION OF HOLDINGS' COMMON STOCK

        The following description of Holdings' common stock is a summary of the material terms of our common stock. This summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and applicable Delaware law.

No Restrictions on Transfer

        Neither our certificate of incorporation nor our by-laws contains any restrictions on the transfer of our common stock. In the case of any transfer of shares, there may be restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws.

Issuance of Common Stock

        In certain instances, the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may have an anti-takeover effect. The Board's authority to issue additional shares of common stock may help deter or delay a change of control by increasing the number of shares needed to gain control.

Certain Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws

        Holdings' certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain a number of provisions that may be deemed to have the effect of discouraging or delaying attempts to gain control of us, including provisions: (i) providing the Board with the exclusive power to determine the exact number of directors comprising the entire Board, subject to the certificate of incorporation and the right of the holders of preferred stock to elect directors (if any); (ii) authorizing the Board or a majority of the directors then in office or the sole remaining director (and not stockholders unless there are no directors then in office) to fill vacancies in the Board; (iii) providing that a director may be removed prior to the expiration of his or her term only by the affirmative vote of holders of 66²/3% of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote thereon; (iv) requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals; (v) providing that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders be taken only at an annual or special meeting and prohibiting stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting; (vi) providing the Board with flexibility in scheduling the annual meeting (subject to state law requirements); (vii) providing that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chief executive officer or a majority of the Board; (viii) providing that the by-laws may be amended by the Board; (ix) providing that the by-laws and certain of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation may be amended by our stockholders only by the affirmative vote of at least 66²/3% of the outstanding voting power of all shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; and (x) authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock with rights and privileges, including voting rights, as it may deem appropriate. The foregoing provisions could impede a change of control.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

        Holdings is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes a merger, asset sale or a transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, in certain cases, within the preceding three years, did own) 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock. Under Section 203, a business combination between Holdings and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

•

prior to the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the Board must have previously approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;



•

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of Holdings

22

outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and officers; or

•

the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66²/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

DESCRIPTION OF HOLDINGS' PREFERRED STOCK

        The following description of Holdings' preferred stock outlines some of the provisions of our preferred stock. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, and the certificate of designation relating to your series of preferred stock. The specific terms of any series of preferred stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a prospectus supplement, the terms of that series of preferred stock may differ from the general description of terms presented below.

General

        Holdings is authorized by its certificate of incorporation to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more series. Currently, there are no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.

        Subject to the restrictions prescribed by law, our Board is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of unissued preferred stock, to determine the designations and the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and limitations granted to or imposed upon any series of unissued preferred stock (including dividend rights (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative), voting rights, conversion rights, redemption rights and terms, sinking fund provisions, liquidation preferences and any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series) and, within any applicable limits and restrictions established, to increase or decrease the number of shares of such series subsequent to its issue. Before we issue any series of preferred stock, our Board will adopt resolutions creating and designating such series as a series of preferred stock. Stockholders will not need to approve these resolutions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders of our common stock and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Holdings.

Terms Contained in the Prospectus Supplement

        The applicable prospectus supplement will contain the dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, sinking fund, liquidation and other rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions or limitations of any series of preferred stock. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of a series of preferred stock:

•

the designation and stated value per share of preferred stock and the number of shares of preferred stock offered;



•

the initial public offering price at which we will issue the preferred stock;



•

whether the shares will be listed on any securities exchange;



•

the dividend rate or method of calculation, the payment dates for dividends and the dates from which dividends will start to cumulate;



•

any voting rights;



•

any conversion rights;



•

any redemption or sinking fund provisions;



•

the amount of liquidation preference per share; and



•

any additional dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, sinking fund, liquidation and other rights or restrictions.

        The applicable prospectus supplement may also describe some of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase and ownership of the series of preferred stock.

No Preemptive Rights

        The holders of our preferred stock will have no preemptive rights to buy any additional shares of preferred stock.

Fully Paid and Nonassessable

        When we issue shares of our preferred stock, the shares will be fully paid and nonassessable, which means the full purchase price of the shares will have been paid and holders of the shares will not be assessed any additional monies for the shares.

No Restrictions on Transfer

        Neither our certificate of incorporation nor our by-laws contains any restrictions on the transfer of our preferred stock. In the case of any transfer of shares, there may be restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws.

Issuance of Preferred Stock

        In certain instances, the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may have an anti-takeover effect. The authority of the Board to issue preferred stock with rights and privileges, including voting rights, as it may deem appropriate, may enable the Board to prevent a change of control despite a shift in ownership of our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

        The following description outlines some of the provisions of each warrant agreement, the warrants and the warrant certificates. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant warrant agreement with respect to the warrants of any particular series. The specific terms of any series of warrants will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a prospectus supplement, the terms of that series of warrants may differ from the general description of terms presented below.

General

        We may issue warrants for the purchase of debt securities, common stock or preferred stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with such debt securities, common stock or preferred stock, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. Currently, there are no warrants issued and outstanding.

        Each series of warrants will be evidenced by certificates issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank, as warrant agent, selected by us with respect to such series, having its principal office in the United States and having combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

        The applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of warrants will mention the name and address of the warrant agent. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the warrant agreement and the series of warrants in respect of which this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement are being delivered, including:

•

the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;



•

the offering price;



•

the aggregate number of warrants;



•

whether the warrants or related securities will be listed on any securities exchange;



•

the currency for which such warrants may be purchased;



•

the date on which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;



•

in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise of one warrant, and the price and currency for purchasing those debt securities upon exercise and, in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, that can be purchased upon the exercise of one warrant, and the price for purchasing such shares upon this exercise;



•

the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire and, if the warrants are not continuously exercisable, any dates on which the warrants are not exercisable;



•

the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of those warrants;



•

provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price;



•

whether the warrants will be issued in global or certificated form; and

26

Table of Contents

or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the warrants are not separately transferable from the securities with which they were issued, this exchange may take place only if the certificates representing such related securities are also exchanged. Prior to warrant exercise, warrantholders will not have any rights as holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including, in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive the principal of, and premium (if any) or interest payments on, the debt securities purchasable upon such exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture or, in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive any dividends, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise any voting rights.

        Where appropriate, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the warrants.

Exercise of Warrants

        Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities specified in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price mentioned or calculated as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, warrants may be exercised at any time up to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the expiration date mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

        Warrants may be exercised by delivery of the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised or, in the case of global securities, by delivery of an exercise notice for those warrants, together with certain information and payment to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, of the required purchase amount. The information required to be delivered will be on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of such payment and the warrant certificate or exercise notice properly executed at the warrant agent's corporate trust office or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, within the time period provided by the relevant warrant agreement, issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining amount of warrants.

        If mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement, securities may be surrendered as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

Antidilution Provisions

        In the case of warrants to purchase common stock, the exercise price payable and the number of shares of common stock to be purchased upon warrant exercise may be adjusted in certain events, including:

•

the issuance of share dividends to stockholders or a combination, subdivision or reclassification of our common stock;



•

the issuance of rights, warrants or options to all stockholders entitling them to purchase shares of common stock for aggregate consideration per share less than the current market price per share;



•

any distribution by us to our stockholders or evidences of our indebtedness or of assets, excluding cash dividends or distributions referred to above; and



•

any other events mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement.

27

---

Table of Contents

        No adjustment in the number of shares purchasable upon warrant exercise will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% of such number. No fractional shares will be issued upon warrant exercise, but we will pay the cash value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable.

Modification

        We and the relevant warrant agent may amend any warrant agreement and the terms of the related warrants by executing a supplemental warrant agreement, without any such warrantholder's consent, for the purpose of:

•

curing any ambiguity, any defective or inconsistent provision contained in the warrant agreement, or making any other corrections to the warrant agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrant certificates;



•

evidencing the succession of another corporation to us and their assumption of our covenants contained in the warrant agreement and the warrants;



•

appointing a successor depositary, if the warrants are issued in the form of global securities;



•

evidencing a successor warrant agent's acceptance of appointment with respect to the warrants;



•

adding to our covenants for the warrantholders' benefit or surrendering any right or power conferred upon us under the warrant agreement;



•

issuing warrants in definitive form, if such warrants are initially issued in the form of global securities; or



•

amending the warrant agreement and the warrants as we deem necessary or desirable and that will not adversely affect the warrantholders' interests in any material respect.

        We and the warrant agent may also amend any warrant agreement and the related warrants by a supplemental agreement with the consent of the holders of a majority of the unexercised warrants such amendment affects, for the purpose of adding, modifying or eliminating any of the warrant agreement's provisions or of modifying the holders' rights. However, no such amendment that:

•

changes the number or amount of securities purchasable upon warrant exercise so as to reduce the number of securities receivable upon this exercise;



•

shortens the time period during which the warrants may be exercised;



•

otherwise adversely affects the exercise rights of such warrantholders in any material respect; or



•

reduces the number of unexercised warrants



•

may be made without the consent of each holder affected by that amendment.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

        Each warrant agreement will provide that we may consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation or sell, lease, transfer or convey all or substantially all of our assets to any other corporation; provided, however, that:

•

either we must be the continuing corporation, or the corporation other than us formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or that receives the assets must be organized and existing under the laws of any U.S. jurisdiction (or any subdivision thereof) and must assume our obligations for the unexercised warrants and the performance of all covenants and conditions of the relevant warrant agreement; and

28

---

Table of Contents

•

we or that successor corporation must not immediately be in default under that warrant agreement.

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

        Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the relevant warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for any warrantholder. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case we default in performing its obligations under the relevant warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any legal proceedings or to make any demand upon us. Any warrantholder may, without the consent of the warrant agent or of any other warrantholder, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, that warrant.

Replacement of Warrant Certificates

        We will replace any destroyed, lost, stolen or mutilated warrant certificate upon delivery to us and the relevant warrant agent of evidence satisfactory to them of the ownership of that warrant certificate and of the destruction, loss, theft or mutilation of that warrant certificate, and (in the case of mutilation) surrender of that warrant certificate to the relevant warrant agent, unless we or the warrant agent has received notice that the warrant certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. That warrantholder will also be required to provide indemnity satisfactory to the relevant warrant agent and us before a replacement warrant certificate will be issued.

Title

        We, the warrant agents and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any warrant certificate as the absolute owner of the warrants evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the warrants so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplements:

•

through underwriters or dealers;



•

through agents;



•

directly to purchasers; or



•

through a combination of any such methods of sale.

        The securities we distribute by any of these methods may be sold to the public, in one or more transactions, either:

•

at a fixed price or prices that may be changed;



•

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;



•

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or



•

at negotiated prices.

        If underwriters are used to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or similar agreement with them at the time of the sale to them. In that connection, underwriters may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. Any such underwriter, dealer or agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions.

        The applicable prospectus supplement relating to the securities will set forth:

•

the offering terms, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;



•

the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if any, from such sale;



•

any underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents;



•

any initial public offering price;



•

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers; and



•

any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.

        The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

        Securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus and a prospectus supplement is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Table of Contents

        If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain specified institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commissions payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts.

        Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to be indemnified by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribution by us to payments which they may be required to make. The terms and conditions of such indemnification will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

        Any underwriters to whom securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any securities.

        Certain persons participating in any offering of securities may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities offered. In connection with any such offering, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities and syndicate short positions involve the sale by the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase from us in the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if such securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. These activities will be described in more detail in the sections titled "Plan of Distribution" or "Underwriting" in the applicable prospectus supplement.
