Note 1: The GE revolving credit facility was entered into to fund a portion of the purchase price paid to acquire Coast Crane.

Note 2: PNC revolving credit facility was paid off in full in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.  The total amount paid off on the Acquisition date was $79,402,551.

Note 3:  The Canadian revolver was assumed as part of the transaction.

Note 4: Consideration of $5.3 million was provided to the holders of the historical unsecured debt obligation for which Coast Crane was the obligor.  In conjunction with the  Acquisition, the Company exchanged the obligation with a new promissory note with a principal amount of $5.3 million and issued 90,000 detachable warrants that provide the holder the right to purchase Essex Rental Corp. common shares for an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  In the event that the promissory note is paid off in full prior to the six month anniversary date of the date of issuance, the number of detachable warrants is reduced to 30,000 warrants.  The principal amount disclosed in the table above is reflective of a discount of approximately $299,400, which is the estimated fair value of the detachable warrants at the time of issuance.  In accordance with accounting guidance applicable to debt with conversion or other options, the fair value of the detachable warrants is treated as a debt discount with an offset to paid in capital.  The discount is accreted to interest expense over the life of the promissory note using the effective interest method, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis.

Note 5: A portion of the total purchase money security interest obligations that were assumed by the Company as part of the Acquisition is classified as a short-term debt obligation in Coast Crane's historical balance sheet and in the Company's pro forma balance sheet.
