PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Founded in 1946, Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("Scotsman" or the "Company")
is the second largest lessor of mobile office and storage units in the United
States with over 88,000 units leased through 88 branch offices in 39 states and
Canada. The Company's fleet provides high quality, cost-effective relocatable
space solutions to over 25,000 customers in over 470 industries including
construction, education, healthcare and retail. In addition to its core leasing
operations, Scotsman sells new and previously leased mobile office units and
provides delivery, installation and other ancillary products and services.
The Company's mobile office fleet is generally comprised of
standardized, versatile products that can be configured to meet a wide variety
of customer needs. Most units are fitted with axles and hitches and are towed to
various locations. Most units are wood frame construction, contain materials
used in conventional buildings, and are equipped with air conditioning and
heating, electrical outlets and, where necessary, plumbing facilities. Mobile
office units are durable and have an estimated useful life of 20 years. Storage
products are windowless and are typically used for secure storage space. There
are generally two types: ground-level entry storage containers and storage
trailers with axles and wheels. The basic storage unit features a roll-up or
swing door at one end. Units are made of heavy exterior metals for security and
water tightness. The average age of the Company's fleet of mobile office units
is approximately 7 years while the average age of the total fleet is
approximately 8 years.
Based on its experience, management estimates that the U.S. mobile
office industry (excluding manufacturing operations) exceeds $2.5 billion and
has been growing in recent years. This growth has been primarily driven by
population shifts, demographic trends, economic expansion, and the increased
demand for outsourcing space needs (for example, school expansion programs,
construction starts, recreation and entertainment activities). By outsourcing
their space needs, the Company's customers are able to achieve flexibility,
preserve capital for core operations, and convert fixed costs into variable
costs.
The Company purchases its new mobile office units through third-party
suppliers and purchases storage units in the aftermarket directly from shipping
companies or through brokers. The Company believes there are numerous
manufacturers and suppliers of mobile office and storage units which supply
these products at competitive prices throughout the United States. The Company
anticipates being able to procure an adequate supply of product on acceptable
terms to meet projected customer requirements. The Company does not believe that
the loss of any one of its suppliers would have a material adverse effect on its
operations.

Acquisition of Evergreen Mobile Company
On February 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of Evergreen Mobile Company, a privately held Washington corporation
("Evergreen"), at a net purchase price of $36.2 million, in a transaction
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. At the time of the
acquisition, Evergreen was the largest mobile office dealer in the state of
Washington with a fleet of approximately 2,000 units. (See note 1 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.) The acquisition was financed with
borrowings under the Company's amended credit facility.
Acquisition of Space Master International, Inc.
On September 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of Space Master International, Inc., a privately held Georgia corporation
("SMI"), at a net purchase price of $272.7 million, in a transaction accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. At the time of the acquisition, SMI
was the third largest company in the U.S. mobile office industry ranked by fleet
size, with a lease fleet of approximately 12,800 units through a network of 26
branches in 13 states, concentrated in the Southeast. (See note 1 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.) The acquisition was financed in part with
borrowings under the Company's amended credit facility and in part with $64.6
million in equity contributed by the Company's parent, Scotsman Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings").
2
Recapitalization
Pursuant to a recapitalization agreement, on May 22, 1997, Holdings (i)
repurchased 3,210,679 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate of
approximately $293.8 million in cash and approximately $21.8 million in
promissory notes which were repaid in January 1998 and (ii) issued 1,475,410
shares of common stock for an aggregate of approximately $135.0 million in cash.
Such amounts have not been restated for the three-for-one stock split granted by
Holdings in December 1997. In related transactions, Holdings and the Company
purchased or repaid all of the outstanding indebtedness. In conjunction with the
debt extinguishment, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $13.7
million. The transactions described above are collectively referred to herein as
the "Recapitalization".
In connection with the Recapitalization, (i) the Company accelerated
the payment of deferred compensation under its long term incentive plan, (ii)
all outstanding stock options under Holdings' employee stock option plan vested
and became immediately exercisable and (iii) the Company canceled a portion of
the outstanding stock options. Accordingly, the Company recognized $5.1 million
of Recapitalization expenses including $2.5 million in connection with the
acceleration of deferred compensation and $2.6 million in connection with the
cancellation of the stock options.
In order to finance the Recapitalization, the Company issued $400
million in 9.875% senior notes due 2007 and entered into a $300 million
revolving bank facility. The Company paid a dividend of $178.7 million to
Holdings to pay Recapitalization expenses, to repurchase common stock and to
purchase certain notes.
Operating Strategy
Due to the local and regional nature of its business, the Company's
goals are to become the leader in each of the local markets in which it competes
and to expand its coverage to additional local markets. To achieve market
leadership, the Company has implemented a strategy which emphasizes (i) superior
service, (ii) a well-maintained, readily-available and versatile lease fleet,
(iii) effective fleet management using proprietary information systems, and (iv)
targeted marketing through an experienced and motivated sales force. The Company
believes that it is generally the first or second largest provider of
relocatable space in each of its regional markets as measured by lease fleet
size and revenues. The Company's branch offices are distributed throughout the
United States and Canada and are located in a majority of the major metropolitan
areas.
Management's business and growth strategy includes the following:
Fleet and Branch Expansion. The Company plans to continue to capitalize
on the industry's favorable growth trends by increasing customer penetration and
fleet size in existing markets. In addition, the Company plans to open branches
in new markets where positive business fundamentals exist. From January 1, 1998
to December 31, 2000, the Company increased its number of branches from 72 to 88
and the number of units from approximately 47,100 to 88,200 as a result of
acquisitions and general fleet expansion.
3
Selective Fleet Acquisitions. To complement its fleet and branch
expansion, the Company plans to capitalize on the industry's fragmentation and
expand its geographic coverage by making selective acquisitions of mobile
offices and storage product lease fleets. From January 1, 1998 to December 31,
2000, Scotsman made six acquisitions of approximately 19,200 units for a total
purchase price of $327.8 million including the purchase of SMI in 1998, which
added approximately 12,800 mobile office units at a total purchase price of
$272.7 million. Units added through acquisitions have accounted for
approximately 55% of the value of the Company's total fleet purchases during
this period (approximately 17% excluding SMI).
Ancillary Products and Services. The Company continues to identify new
applications for its existing products, diversify into new product offerings and
deliver ancillary products and services to leverage the Company's existing
branch network. For example, in 1996, the Company began focusing on the
expanding market for storage product units, which are used for secured storage
space. Since January 1, 1996, the Company has grown its storage product fleet by
nearly 15,000 units, through direct purchases as well as eight acquisitions
which totaled approximately 5,900 storage units. Ancillary products and services
include: the rental of steps, furniture, ramps and security systems; sales of
parts and supplies; and charges for granting insurance waivers and for damage
billings.
Competition
Although the Company's competition varies significantly by market, in
general the mobile office industry is highly competitive. The Company competes
primarily in terms of product availability, customer service and price. The
Company believes that its reputation for customer service and its ability to
offer a wide selection of units suitable for many uses at competitive prices
allow it to compete effectively. However, certain of the Company's competitors
are less leveraged, have greater market share or product availability in a given
market and have greater financial resources than the Company.
Employees
At December 31, 2000, the Company employed approximately 1,200 persons.
None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.
Regulatory Matters
The Company must comply with various federal, state and local
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in connection with its
operations. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with these
laws and regulations. In addition to compliance costs, the Company may incur
costs related to alleged environmental damage associated with past or current
properties owned or leased by the Company. The Company believes that its
liability, if any, for any environmental remediation will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition.
A portion of the Company's units is subject to regulation in certain
states under motor vehicle
4
and similar registration and certificate of title statutes. The Company believes
that it has complied in all material respects with all motor vehicle
registration and similar certificate of title statutes in states where such
statutes clearly apply to mobile office units. If laws in other states are
changed to require registration, the Company could be subject to additional
costs, fees and taxes. The Company does not believe that these costs would be
material to its financial condition.
5
Item 2. Properties
The Company's headquarters is a three-story modular office structure
located on 3.1 acres in suburban Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, the Company
leases approximately 60% of its 88 branch locations and owns the balance.
Management believes that none of the Company's leased facilities, individually,
is material to the operations of the Company.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. The Company believes that none of these actions, either
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.
6
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scotsman Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation. There is no established public trading market for
Holdings' Common Stock.
During 2000, the Company paid dividends to Holdings totaling $55,000 for
normal operating expenses. The Company does not intend to pay any other
dividends except for the normal operating expenses of Holdings, but reserves the
right to do so. The Company's ability to pay dividends to Holdings is limited to
amounts for corporate and administrative expenses. (See Note 4 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Pursuant to the Scotsman Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Employee
Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"), options for the purchase of 46,100 shares
of Holdings' common stock were granted during 2000. No options were exercised
during 2000 and no shares of Holdings' common stock were issued during 2000 upon
the exercise of previously granted options.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion regarding the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the three years ended December 31, 2000 should be
read in conjunction with the more detailed information and Financial Statements
included elsewhere herein. Certain statements in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking
statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements".
General
On February 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Evergreen Mobile Company. See "Acquisition of Evergreen Mobile Company."
On September 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Space Master International, Inc. See "Acquisition of Space Master International,
Inc."
The Company derives its revenues and earnings from the leasing and sale of
mobile office and storage units, delivery and installation of those units and
the provision of other ancillary products and services. Leasing operations
account for a majority of the Company's revenues and gross profits. Used mobile
office units are sold by the Company from its lease fleet in the ordinary course
of its business at either fair market value or, to a lesser extent, pursuant to
pre-established lease purchase options. The sale of used units results in the
availability of the total cash proceeds and generally results in the reporting
of gross profit on such sales.
New unit sales revenues are derived from the sale of new mobile offices,
similar to those units leased by the Company. Revenues from delivery and
installation result from activities related to the transportation and
installation of and site preparation for both leased and sold products. Other
revenues are derived from other products and services including: rental of
steps, furniture, ramps and security systems; sales of parts and supplies; and
charges for granting insurance waivers and for damage billings.
Although a portion of the Company's business is with customers in
industries that are cyclical in nature and subject to changes in general
economic conditions, management believes that certain characteristics of the
mobile office leasing industry and its operating strategies should help to
mitigate the effects of economic downturns. These characteristics include (i)
the Company's typical lease terms which include contractual provisions requiring
customers to retain units on lease for, on average, 12 months, (ii) the
flexibility and low cost offered to the Company's customers by leasing which may
be an attractive alternative to capital purchases, (iii) the Company's ability
to redeploy units during regional recessions and (iv) the diversity of the
Company's industry segments and the geographic balance of the Company's
operations (historically during economic slowdowns, the construction industry
which represented approximately 31% of its 2000 revenues, experiences declines
in utilization rates, while other customer segments, including education which
represented approximately 20% of revenues in 2000, are more stable).
Results of Operations
10
2000 Compared With 1999. Revenues in 2000 were $432.1 million, a $26.3
million or 6.5% increase from revenues of $405.8 million in 1999. The increase
resulted from a $18.7 million or 9.3% increase in leasing revenue and a $7.9
million or 11.0% increase in delivery and installation revenue. The increase in
leasing revenue is attributable to a 10.4% increase in the average lease fleet
to approximately 83,300 units for 2000, combined with a slight increase of $1 in
the average monthly rental rate, offset by a slight decrease in the average
fleet utilization of one percent to 84%. The increase in delivery and
installation revenue is attributable to the increase in leasing revenue as
described above.
Gross profit in 2000 was $217.2 million, a $14.0 million or 6.9% increase
from 1999 gross profit of $203.2 million. The increase primarily resulted from a
$11.9 million or 8.7% increase in leasing gross profit and to a minor extent
from a $1.1 million or 3.7% increase in gross profit from other revenue. The
increase in leasing gross profit is a result of the increase in leasing revenue
described above combined with stable leasing margins. Excluding depreciation and
amortization, leasing margins decreased slightly from 84.8% in 1999 to 84.0% in
2000. Although other revenue was essentially flat, the increase in related gross
profit was attributed to a favorable mix of higher margin ancillary products, as
1999 results included revenue associated with a large (lower margin) project to
relocate customer-owned units.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $5.4
million or 7.5% from 1999. The increase is the result of the growth experienced
by the Company, both in terms of number of branches and fleet size as compared
to 1999. The Company's branch network has expanded from 83 branches at December
31, 1999 to 88 branches at December 31, 2000, while the fleet has grown by
approximately 8,700 units from December 31, 1999. The increase in SG&A expenses
is due to an increase in field related expenses, primarily payroll and
occupancy, incurred in connection with this branch expansion and fleet growth.
Interest expense increased by 9.5% to $91.9 million in 2000 from $83.9
million in 1999. This increase is a result of increased average borrowings of
approximately $38.9 million to finance fleet and branch growth in addition to
increases in interest rates on our variable bank debt. The effect of market rate
increases in 2000 was partially offset by a 25 basis point reduction in February
2000 on bank credit facility borrowings as the Company achieved a specified
leverage ratio threshold.
The difference between the Company's reported tax provision for the year
ended December 31, 2000 and the tax provision computed based on statutory rates
is primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill amortization expense of
$5.1 million.
1999 Compared With 1998. Revenues in 1999 were $405.8 million, a $118.7
million or 41.3% increase from revenues of $287.1 million in 1998. The increase
resulted from a $49.6 million or 32.6% increase in leasing revenue, a $26.6
million or 57.2% increase in new sales revenue, a $24.2 million or 51.6%
increase in delivery and installation revenue, a $6.8 million or 44% increase in
used sales revenue and a $11.5 million or 44.3% increase in other revenue. The
increase in leasing revenue is attributable to a 32% increase in the average
lease fleet to approximately 75,500
11
units and an increase of $2 in the average monthly rental rate, offset by a
decrease in the average fleet utilization of one percent to 85%. The increase in
new and used sales revenue is primarily due to the overall branch expansion that
the Company has experienced over the last several years. The increase in
delivery and installation revenue is attributable to the increases in the
leasing and new unit sales revenue as described above. Other revenue increased
as a result of increases in the rental of steps, ramps and furniture as well as
miscellaneous revenue related to services provided for customer owned units.
Gross profit in 1999 was $203.2 million, a $57.8 million or 39.8% increase
from 1998 gross profit of $145.3 million. The increase resulted from a $35.5
million or 35.1% increase in leasing gross profit, a $4.6 million or 56.5%
increase in new sales gross profit, a $6.8 million or 56.3% increase in delivery
and installation gross profit and a $9.6 million or 46.9% increase in gross
profit from other revenues. The increase in leasing gross profit is a result in
the increase in leasing revenue described above combined with an increase in
leasing margins from 66.4 % in 1998 to 67.7% in 1999. Excluding depreciation and
amortization, leasing margins increased slightly from 84.5% in 1998 to 84.8% in
1999. The increase in gross profit from new sales and delivery and installation
are primarily due to the increases in revenue as discussed above. The increase
in gross profit from other revenue is primarily related to the overall revenue
increases noted above.
SG&A expenses increased by $13.3 million or 22.9% from 1998. The increase
is the result of the growth experienced by the Company, both in terms of fleet
size and number of branches as compared to 1998. The Company's branch network
has expanded from 80 branches at December 31, 1998 to 83 branches at December
31, 1999, while the fleet has grown by approximately 9,400 units from December
31, 1998. The overall increases in SG&A expenses are due to increases in field
related expenses, primarily payroll and occupancy, incurred in connection with
this branch expansion and fleet growth and a full year impact of field related
costs associated with the SMI acquisition.
Other depreciation and amortization increased from $9.6 million in 1998 to
$15.9 million in 1999, $5.2 million of which relates to the amortization of
goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with both the
Evergreen and SMI acquisitions (see note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). The remaining increase relates to depreciation on
increased balances of property and equipment and inventories of steps and ramps
associated with the overall growth of the Company's branch network and leased
fleet as discussed above.
Interest expense increased by 28.9% to $83.9 million in 1999 from $65.1
million in 1998. This increase is the result of the first full year effect of
borrowings to finance the purchase of SMI in September 1998 and the result of
financing the other fleet and branch growth, including the acquisition of
Evergreen.
The difference between the Company's reported tax provision for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and the tax provision computed based on statutory rates
is primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill amortization expense of
$5.2 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
12
During 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company's principal sources of funds
consisted of cash flow from operating and financing sources. Cash flow from
operating activities of $43.6 million in 1998, $72.3 million in 1999 and $87.0
million in 2000 was largely generated by the rental of units from the Company's
lease fleet and sales of new mobile office units.
The Company has increased its EBITDA and believes that EBITDA provides the
best indication of its financial performance and provides the best measure of
its ability to meet historical debt service requirements. The Company defines
EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
deferred compensation, and non-cash compensation expense. EBITDA as defined by
the Company does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to
cash flow as a measure of liquidity, nor should it be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance. The Company's EBITDA increased by $9.4 million or 5.6% to $177.6
million in 2000 compared to $168.2 million in 1999. This increase in EBITDA is a
result of increased leasing activity resulting from the overall growth in the
number of units in the fleet and a slight increase in average monthly rental
rates, partially offset by a slight decline in utilization and increased SG&A
expenses required to support the expanded activities during 2000. In 1999, the
Company's EBITDA increased by $50.6 million or 43.1% to $168.2 million compared
to $117.6 million in 1998. This increase in EBITDA is a result of increased
leasing activity resulting from the overall increase in the number of units in
the fleet and an increase in average monthly rental rates, partially offset by a
slight decline in utilization, and increased SG&A expenses to support the
increased activities during 1999.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $390.4 million in 1998, $142.7
million in 1999 and $128.3 million in 2000. The Company's primary capital
expenditures are for the discretionary purchase of new units for the lease fleet
and units purchased through acquisitions. The Company seeks to maintain its
lease fleet in good condition at all times and generally increases the size of
its lease fleet only in those local or regional markets experiencing economic
growth and established unit demand. These expenditures increased the size of the
rental fleet by approximately 23,100 units during 1998, 9,400 units during 1999
and 8,700 during 2000. This activity was in response to increased customer
demand and a continuation of the Company's fleet acquisition strategy and branch
expansion. The following table sets forth the Company's investment in its lease
fleet for the periods indicated.

The Company believes it can manage the capital requirements of its lease
fleet, and thus its cash flow, through the careful monitoring of its lease fleet
additions. During 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company was able to sell used units
in the ordinary course of business (excluding units sold pursuant to purchase
options) at an average of more than 95% of their total capitalized cost and at a
premium to net book value. Such capitalized costs include the cost of the unit
as well as costs of significant improvements made to the unit. See further
explanation below and note (2) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Historically, the Company has recognized net gains on the sale of used units.
The Company's maintenance and refurbishment program is designed to maintain
the value of lease fleet units and realize rental rates and operating cash flows
from older units comparable to those from newer units. The sale of used units
helps preserve the overall quality of the Company's lease fleet and enhances
cash flow. Generally, costs of improvements and betterments aggregating less
than $1,000 per unit are expensed as incurred. Expenditures greater than $1,000
that significantly extend the economic useful life of a unit or that materially
alter a unit's configuration are capitalized. The Company estimates that the
current annual capital expenditures (net of proceeds from sales of used units)
necessary to maintain its lease fleet and facilities at their current size and
condition is approximately $25 million.
Other capital expenditures of $13.9 million, $13.9 million and $18.6
million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, consist of items not directly
related to the lease fleet, such as branch or headquarter's buildings, land,
equipment, leasehold improvements and management information systems.
Cash provided by financing activities of $43.2 million in 2000 and $70.2
million in 1999 is comprised primarily of long-term borrowings. Cash provided by
financing activities of $347.3 million in 1998 is comprised primarily of long
term borrowings and a capital contribution received from Holdings to finance the
Company's acquisition of SMI in September 1998. In 1998, the Company paid
dividends to Holdings in the amount of $22.8 million primarily to effect the
repayment of a promissory note of Holdings.
In connection with the acquisition of SMI, the Company entered into an
amended credit facility providing for revolver borrowings up to $540 million
(subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements including a borrowing base
test) and a $60 million term loan. Availability under the revolver is based on a
borrowing base calculation, which was amended effective September 15, 1999, and
was $37.7 million at December 31, 2000. Borrowings under the line may be used
for working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. At the
Company's option, the revolving credit loans may be maintained as (a) Base Rate
Loans which bear interest at the prime
14
rate plus 1% or (b) Eurodollar Loans which bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate
plus 2.25%. In February 2000, the applicable margin used to calculate such
interest rates was reduced to 0.75% for prime rate loans and 2.0% for Eurodollar
Rate loans as the Company met a specified leverage ratio threshold. Terms of the
revolver, which matures May 21, 2002, are unchanged from the original credit
agreement dated May 1997. The term loan, which matures May 21, 2005, bears
interest at a rate of either prime plus 2.0% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.25%.
Principal payments due on the term loan are equal to 1% per year for the first
four years, with equal quarterly installments thereafter. The amended credit
facility is guaranteed by Holdings and a subsidiary of the Company and is
secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all the assets of
the Company, Holdings and such subsidiary. The amended credit facility contains
certain covenants including restrictions against mergers, acquisitions, and
disposition of assets, voluntary prepayments of debt, financial covenants and
certain other covenants, including restrictions on the amount of dividends that
Scotsman can pay to Holdings.
Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the amended credit facility was further
amended to provide for revolver borrowings up to $600 million.
The Company believes it will have sufficient liquidity under its revolving
line of credit and from cash generated from operations to meet its expected
obligations for the next 12 months.
Seasonality
Although demand from certain of the Company's customers is somewhat
seasonal, the Company's operations as a whole are not seasonal to any
significant extent.
Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
results of operations. However, an inflationary environment could materially
increase interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt. The price of used
units sold by the Company and the replacement cost of such units could also
increase in such an environment. The Company's standard lease generally provides
for annual rental rate escalation at the inflation rate as determined by the
Consumer Price Index after the end of the initial lease term. In addition, the
Company may seek to limit its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by
utilizing certain hedging mechanisms, although it is under no obligation to do
so.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Williams Scotsman, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Williams
Scotsman, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 14(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Williams Scotsman,
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Williams Scotsman, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Scotsman
Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), a corporation which was organized in November 1993
for the purpose of acquiring the Company. The Company's operations include two
wholly owned subsidiaries, Willscot Equipment, LLC (Willscot) and Williams
Scotsman of Canada, Inc., whose operations have not been significant to date.
Willscot, a special purpose subsidiary, was formed in May 1997 and is a
guarantor of the Company's credit facility and acts as a full and unconditional,
and joint and several subordinated guarantor of the 9.875% senior notes. The
operations of Willscot are limited to the leasing of its mobile office units to
the Company under a master lease.
The operations of the Company consist primarily of the leasing and sale of
mobile offices and storage products (equipment) and their delivery and
installation.
Acquisition of Evergreen Mobile Company
On February 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Evergreen Mobile Company, a privately held Washington corporation (Evergreen),
in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Total
consideration for the acquisition of Evergreen was $36,208, including the
repayment of existing indebtedness of Evergreen. The purchase price paid was
allocated to the net identifiable assets acquired of $19,686 with the excess of
$16,522 representing goodwill and other intangible assets. The purchase price
allocation was based upon the estimates of the fair value of the net assets
acquired. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Company's
amended credit facility.
Acquisition of Space Master International, Inc.
On September 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Space
Master International, Inc., a privately held Georgia corporation (SMI), in a
transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Total
consideration for the acquisition of SMI was $272,721, including the repayment
of existing indebtedness of SMI. The purchase price paid was allocated to the
net identifiable assets acquired of $111,568 with the excess of $161,153
representing goodwill and other intangible assets. The purchase price allocation
was based upon estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired. The
acquisition was financed in part with additional borrowings under the Company's
amended credit facility and in part with equity contributed by Scotsman
Holdings, Inc.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation (continued)
Acquisition of Space Master International, Inc. (continued)
The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the year ended December 31,
1998, assuming consummation of the acquisition as of January 1, 1998 is as
follows:
Total revenue $ 345,609
Net income $ 3,204
Net income per basic share $ .96
Recapitalization
Pursuant to a recapitalization agreement, on May 22, 1997, Holdings (i)
repurchased 3,210,679 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate of
approximately $293,777 in cash and approximately $21,834 in promissory notes
which were repaid in January 1998 and (ii) issued 1,475,410 shares of common
stock for an aggregate of approximately $135,000 in cash. Such amounts have not
been restated for the three-for-one stock split granted by Holdings in December
1997. In related transactions, Holdings and the Company purchased or repaid all
of the outstanding indebtedness. In conjunction with the debt extinguishment,
the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $13,719.
In connection with the Recapitalization, (i) the Company accelerated the payment
of deferred compensation under its long term incentive plan, (ii) all
outstanding stock options under Holdings' employee stock option plan vested and
became immediately exercisable and (iii) the Company canceled a portion of the
outstanding stock options.
In order to finance the Recapitalization, the Company issued $400,000 in 9.875%
senior notes due 2007 and entered into a $300,000 revolving bank facility. The
Company paid a dividend of $178,749 to Holdings to pay Recapitalization
expenses, to repurchase common stock and to purchase certain notes.

Williams Scotsman, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(b) Leasing Operations
Equipment is leased generally under operating leases and, occasionally,
under sales-type lease arrangements. Operating lease terms generally range
from 3 months to 60 months, and contractually averaged approximately 12
months at December 31, 2000. Rents billed in advance are initially deferred
and recognized as revenue over the term of the operating leases. Rental
equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method using an estimated
economic useful life of 10 to 20 years and an estimated residual value of
50%.
Costs of improvements and betterments are capitalized, whereas costs of
replacement items, repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs
incurred for equipment to meet particular lease specifications are
capitalized and depreciated over the lease term. However, costs aggregating
less than $1 per unit are generally expensed as incurred.
(c) Deferred Financing Costs
Costs of obtaining long-term debt are amortized using the straight-line
method over the term of the debt.
(d) Property and Equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives ranging from 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to
10 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred.
25
Williams Scotsman, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(e) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The excess of cost over fair values of net assets acquired in purchase
transactions has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 20 to 40 years. Other identifiable intangibles
acquired of $4,433 include assembled workforce, covenant not to compete and
customer base which are being amortized on a straight line basis over
periods of 21 to 228 months. As of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
accumulated amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets was
$11,932, $6,817, and $1,600, respectively.
On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its
intangible assets to determine if the facts and circumstances suggest that
intangible assets may be impaired. If this review indicates that intangible
assets may not be recoverable, as determined by the undiscounted cash flow
of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the
Company's carrying value of intangible assets is reduced by the estimated
shortfall of cash flows, on a discounted basis.
(f) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
(g) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed based on weighted average number of common
shares outstanding of 3,320,000 shares for 2000, 1999 and 1998.
26
Williams Scotsman, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Revenue Recognition
The Company's current revenue recognition policy is to recognize rental
income ratably over the month on a daily basis. Billings for periods
extending beyond the month end are recorded as deferred income. Sales
revenue is recognized at the time the units are delivered, with the
exception of long-term construction-type sales contracts for which revenue
is recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under this method,
income is recognized based on the incurred costs to date compared to
estimated total costs. All other revenue is recognized when related
services have been performed.

4. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following:
December 31
2000 1999
-------------------------
Borrowings under revolving credit facility $ 500,460 $ 456,573
Term loan 58,650 59,250
9.875% senior notes 400,000 400,000
-------------------------
$ 959,110 $ 915,823
=========================
In connection with the acquisition of SMI, the loan agreement for the credit
facility was amended to provide for a $540,000 revolving credit facility
maturing May 21, 2002 and a $60,000 term loan maturing May 21, 2005.
Availability under the revolver is based upon a borrowing base calculation,
which was amended effective September 15, 1999, and was $37,712 at December 31,
2000. Interest is payable at a rate of either prime plus 1.0% or the Eurodollar
rate plus 2.25%. In February 2000, these rates were decreased to prime plus
0.75% and the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0% as a result of the Company meeting a
specified leverage ratio threshold. The weighted average interest rates of the
revolver under the credit agreement were 8.85% and 8.33% at December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Principal payments due on the term loan are equal to 1%
per year for the first four years, with equal quarterly installments thereafter.
Interest on the term loan is payable at a rate of either prime plus 2.0% or the
Eurodollar rate plus 3.25%. The weighted average interest rates of the term loan
under the credit agreement were 10.06% and 9.38% at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, this credit facility was further
amended to provide for revolver borrowings up to $600,000.
Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on and
security interest in the Company's rental equipment, accounts receivable and
property and equipment. In addition to the restrictions and limitations
described under the note agreement, including restrictions on the amount of
dividends that Scotsman can pay to Holdings, the credit facility loan agreement
requires compliance with certain financial covenants including capital
expenditures, interest coverage and fleet utilization levels.
The 9.875% senior notes are due June 1, 2007 with interest payable semi-annually
on June 1 and December 1 of each year. On or after June 1, 2002, the notes are
redeemable at the option of the Company, at redemption prices of 104.938% and
102.469% during the 12-month periods beginning June 1, 2002 and 2003,
respectively, and 100% thereafter. Upon the occurrence of a change of control,
the notes may be redeemed as a whole at the option of the Company at a
redemption price of 100% plus the applicable premium as defined in the
agreement.

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)
The notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated
in right of payment to all secured indebtedness. Additionally, the notes are
guaranteed by Willscot, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. Such guaranty is
full and unconditional, and joint and several. The note agreement limits or
restricts the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness; make
distributions of capital in an amount not to exceed 50% of accumulated earnings,
excluding the recapitalization-related distribution; dispose of property; incur
liens on property; pay dividends to Holdings; and merge with or acquire other
companies.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of long-term debt was
approximately $883,110 and $895,823, respectively, based on the quoted market
price of the senior notes and the book value of the credit facility, which are
adjustable rate notes.
Letter of credit obligations at December 31, 2000 were $1,828.
5. Income Taxes

5. Income Taxes (continued)
At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryovers available
for federal income tax purposes of $184,951 (net of related valuation
allowance), of which $80,186 (net of related valuation allowance) relates to
pre-recapitalization loss carryovers that are subject to certain limitations
under the Internal Revenue Code. These net operating loss carryovers expire at
various dates from 2003 to 2020. Also, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers
of approximately $1,759 are available without expiration limitations. An
investment credit carryover of approximately $860 expired on December 31, 2000.
During 1998, the Company recorded a charge to income tax expense of $3,400,
relating to the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a
result of a change in management's tax planning strategies associated with the
recoverability of certain net operating loss carryovers.
Income tax expense consists of the following:

7. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has adopted a defined contribution plan (the 401(k) Plan) which is
intended to satisfy the tax qualification requirements of Sections 401(a),
401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code). The 401(k)
Plan covers substantially all employees and permits participants to contribute
the lesser of (i) 15% of their annual compensation from the Company or (ii) the
dollar limit described in Section 402(g) of the Code ($10,500 in 2000). All
amounts deferred under this salary reduction feature are fully vested.
The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which the Company
may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant. Such
percentage, if any, is determined by the Board of Directors at their discretion.
The Plan also has a "profit sharing" feature, under which the Company may
contribute, at its discretion, an additional amount allocable to the accounts of
active participants meeting the aforementioned eligibility requirements.
Contributions made by the Company on behalf of a 401(k) Plan participant vest
ratably during the first five years of employment and 100% thereafter. Matching
contributions by the Company to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $477 in 2000,
$395 in 1999, and $329 in 1998. No contributions have been made by the Company
under the profit-sharing feature.

7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
The Company has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives which is
meant to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for a select group
of management within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This plan allows key
employees to defer a specified amount of their compensation until termination or
upon the occurrence of other specified events. Such amounts are placed in the
investment vehicles of the employee's choice. As of December 31, 2000, the total
amount deferred under this plan, including earnings, was $1,715.
Holdings adopted a stock option plan for certain key employees of the Company.
The plan was subsequently amended and restated in 1998 (the "Amended and
Restated 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan"). Under the plan, up to 479,500
options to purchase Holdings' outstanding common stock may be granted. The
options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares
as of the date of grant. Fifty percent of the options granted vest ratably over
five years, and fifty percent vest based on the Company meeting certain
financial goals over the same five periods. All options expire 10 years from the
date of grant. The Company is accounting for the options using the variable plan
accounting. Under this plan, 46,100 and 29,800 options were granted in 2000 and
1999, respectively. For those options in which both the grant date and the
measurement date were known, the Company recognized compensation expense in the
amount of $479, $1,899 and $2,725 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
Prior to the Recapitalization, the Company had adopted a stock option plan for
certain key employees ("1994 Employee Stock Option Plan"). The options were
granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares as of the
date of grant. All options outstanding under this plan became fully vested in
conjunction with the recapitalization.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the minimum value method of that Statement. The
minimum value for these options was estimated at the date of grant by
calculating the excess of the fair value of the stock at the date of grant over
the present value of both the exercise price and the expected dividend payments,
each discounted at the risk free rate, over the expected exercise life of the
option. The following weighted average assumptions were used for 2000, 1999 and
1998: risk-free interest rate of 6.3%, 5.6%, and 5.5%, respectively; weighted
average expected life of the options of 5 years; and no dividends.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated minimum value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Note that the
effects of applying SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosure in the current year are
not necessarily representative of the effects on pro forma net income for future
years. The Company's pro forma information follows:

Scotsman Holdings, Inc. 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan
In March 1995, a stock option plan was adopted for certain key
employees. All options outstanding under this plan became fully vested in
conjunction with the Recapitalization. The options are exercisable for a period
of 10 years from date of grant.
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan
In December 1997, a stock option plan was adopted for certain key
employees, which was amended and restated in December 1998. Under the plan, up
to 479,500 options to purchase Holdings' common stock may be granted. In 2000,
46,100 options were granted under this plan at an offer price of $50.67 per
share. Fifty percent of the options granted vest ratably over five years and
fifty percent vest ratably based on the Company meeting certain financial
targets over the same five periods. All options expire 10 years from the date of
grant.
401(k)/Defined Contribution Plan
On May 1, 1993, the Company adopted a defined contribution plan (the
"401(k) Plan") which is intended to satisfy the tax qualification requirements
of Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Each employee of the Company who completes 90 days of
service with the Company is eligible to participate in the salary reduction
feature of the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan permits participants to contribute
the lesser of (i) 15% of their annual compensation from the Company or (ii) the
dollar limit described in Section 402(g) of the Code ($10,500 in 2000). All
amounts deferred by a participant under the 401(k) Plan's salary reduction
feature by a participant are fully vested.
The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which the
Company may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant
who makes salary reduction deferrals to the 401(k) Plan, has been employed for
12 consecutive months by the Company, completes 1,000 hours of service with the
Company during the Plan year and is employed by the Company on the last day of
the year. This percentage, if any, is determined by the Board of Directors at
their discretion and is communicated to 401(k) Plan participants during the year
for which the matching contribution will be made. Matching contributions made on
behalf of a 401(k) Plan participant are subject to a deferred vesting schedule
based on the number of years a participant has been employed by the Company. A
participant becomes 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% vested in the matching
contributions made to the 401(k) Plan on his or her behalf after completion of
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years of service with the Company, respectively.
The 401(k) Plan also has a "profit sharing" feature, under which the
Company may contribute, in its discretion, an additional amount which is
allocated to the accounts of active participants who have been employed for 12
consecutive months by the Company, who have completed 1,000 hours of service
during the Plan Year and who are employed on the last day of the year, based on
such participants' compensation for the year. The vesting schedule for these
45
contributions is identical to that for matching contributions.
A participant's 401(k) Plan benefits generally are payable upon the
participant's death, disability, retirement, or other termination of employment.
Payments under the 401(k) Plan are made in a lump sum.
In 2000, the Company made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan
participants in an aggregate amount of $477,283.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives
During 1997, the Company adopted a deferred compensation plan for
executives (the "Plan") which is meant to be an unfunded deferred compensation
plan maintained for a select group of management within the meaning of Sections
201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401 (a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974. The Plan allows key employees to defer a specified amount of their
compensation until termination or upon the occurrence of other specified events.
Such amounts are placed in the investment vehicles of the employee's choice. As
of December 31, 2000, the total amount deferred under this Plan, including
earnings, was $1,714,740.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2000, the Compensation Committee was comprised of two outside
directors: Daniel L. Doctoroff and David P. Spalding. No member of the Committee
has any interlocking or insider relationship with the Company which is required
to be reported under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Stockholders' Agreement
Cypress Merchant Banking Partners, L.P., Cypress Offshore Partners, L.P.,
Scotsman Partners, L.P. (collectively the "Investor Group"), the Management
Stockholders and Holdings are parties to a Management Stockholders' and
Optionholders' Agreement dated as of September 14, 1998 (the "Stockholders'
Agreement"), which contains certain rights and restrictions with respect to the
transfer of each Management Stockholder's shares of Common Stock. The
Stockholders' Agreement prohibits the transfer of any shares of Common Stock by
Management Stockholders (other than sales required in connection with the
disposition of all shares of Common Stock owned by the Investor Group and its
affiliates) until the earlier of twelve months after an initial public offering
of the equity of Holdings for designated officers (and sixty days after an
initial public offering for non-designated officers) or the day after the
Investor Group and its affiliates have disposed of more than 33-1/3% of the
shares of Common Stock originally acquired by the Investor Group, and
thereafter, the aggregate number of shares which may be transferred by each
Management Stockholder in any calendar year (other than certain required sales)
may not exceed 25% of the number of shares acquired pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement between Holdings and such Management Stockholder plus the number of
any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of stock purchase options. In
addition, the Stockholders' Agreement restricts the transfer of shares of Common
Stock by each Management Stockholder for a period of five years from the date of
purchase of such shares, except certain permitted transfers and transfers
pursuant to an effective registration statement or in accordance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act. Upon the expiration of such five-year period, subject

shares after giving to the Investor Group and Holdings, respectively, a right of
first refusal to purchase such shares.
Each Management Stockholder has the right (and in limited circumstances
the obligation) to sell his shares in connection with certain dispositions of
shares by the Investor Group and the right to cause his shares to be included in
certain registrations of Common Stock on behalf of the Investor Group. In
addition, upon termination of any Management Stockholder's employment, Holdings

Investor Stockholders Agreement
50
On May 22, 1997, Holdings, certain partnerships affiliated with The
Cypress Group, L.L.C. (the "Cypress Stockholders") and Scotsman Partners, L.P.
(collectively, including their permitted transferees, the "Investor
Stockholders") and the Odyssey Investor Group, Barry P. Gossett, BT Investment
Partners, Inc. and certain other stockholders (together with their permitted
transferees and the Investor Stockholders, the "Stockholders") entered into an
investor stockholders agreement, which was subsequently amended on September 1,
1998 (the "Investor Stockholders Agreement").
Under the terms of the Investor Stockholders Agreement, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Investor Stockholders, the board of directors of
Holdings (the "Board of Directors") will consist of nine directors: three
persons nominated by the Cypress Stockholders, three persons nominated by
Scotsman Partners, one person nominated by Odyssey Investment Group, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors and the President of Holdings. Each of
Cypress Stockholders, Scotsman Partners and Odyssey Investment Group is entitled
to remove and replace any or all of their respective designees on the Board of
Directors and each is entitled to remove the director or directors who are the
Chairman of the Board and the President of Holdings in accordance with the
provisions of the Investor Stockholders Agreement. If the Holdings Common Stock
held by either the Cypress Stockholders or Scotsman Partners is reduced to an
amount less than 20% of the outstanding Holdings Common Stock, but 5% or more of
the outstanding Holdings Common Stock, the Cypress Stockholders or Scotsman
Partners, as the case may be, will be entitled to designate one director. Each
of the Cypress Stockholders or Scotsman Partners will lose the right to
designate one director when the Cypress Stockholders or Scotsman Partners, as
the case may be, no longer holds at least 5% of the outstanding Holdings Common
Stock. From and after the date that Odyssey Investment Group owns less than 5%
of the outstanding Holdings Common Stock, it will no longer be entitled to
designate any director for election or removal. If any of Cypress Stockholders,
Scotsman Partners and Odyssey Investment Group is entitled to designate a lesser
number of directors pursuant to the Investor Stockholders Agreement, then they
will vote their shares to cause the number of the entire Board of Directors to
be reduced by the number of directors they are no longer entitled to designate.
Under the Investor Stockholders Agreement, until such time as either
the Cypress Stockholders or the Scotsman Partners is no longer entitled to
designate three directors, without the approval of a majority of the directors
designated by each of the Cypress Stockholders and Scotsman Partners,
respectively, Holdings will not take certain actions (including mergers,
consolidations, sales of all or substantially all assets, electing or removing
the Chairman or President of Holdings, issuing securities, incurring certain
indebtedness, making certain acquisitions, approving operating and capital
budgets and other major transactions).
Under the Investor Stockholders Agreement, prior to the consummation of
an initial public offering of Holdings Common Stock (an "IPO"), each Stockholder
will have the right to acquire shares of Holdings Common Stock in connection
with certain new issuances of Holdings Common Stock, on the same terms and
conditions, for the amount necessary to allow the participating Stockholder to
maintain its percentage holding of the outstanding Holdings Common Stock.
The Investor Stockholders Agreement contains provisions limiting the
ability of Stockholders to transfer their shares in certain circumstances. Among
other provisions, the Investor Stockholders Agreement includes (i) rights of
first offer in favor of the Investor Stockholders with respect to proposed
transfers of shares to a third party and (ii) tag-along rights in favor of each
51
Stockholder pursuant to which a selling Stockholder would be required to permit
the other Stockholders to participate on a proportional basis in a transfer of
shares to a third party. Also, if one or more Stockholders holding at least 60%
of the outstanding Holdings Common Stock determine to sell shares to a third
party, in certain circumstances such Stockholders have the right to require the
other Stockholders to sell their shares to such third party.
Under the Investor Stockholders Agreement, the Stockholders have the
right to require the Company to register their shares of Holdings Common Stock
under the Securities Act in certain circumstances, including upon a demand of
certain of the Stockholders.
The Investor Stockholders Agreement (other than the registration rights
provisions) will terminate (unless earlier terminated as specified in the
Investor Stockholders Agreement) upon the earlier of (i) May 22, 2007 and (ii)
completion of an IPO.
