GREENWICH, Conn. — October 14, 2011 — United Rentals, Inc., United Rentals (North America), Inc. (together, the “Company”) and certain of their subsidiaries announced today that they entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provides for a senior secured asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Facility”) of $1,800 million, a portion of which is available for borrowing in Canadian Dollars. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for an uncommitted incremental increase in the ABL Facility of up to $500 million. The ABL Facility replaces the Company’s existing senior secured asset-based loan facility.

“This new larger five year facility provides our Company with increased financial flexibility to respond to market opportunities, and does so at attractive rates.” said William Plummer, chief financial officer. “The ABL Facility will help support our strategy of profitable growth and investment in people, fleet and technology.”

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have provided guarantees under the ABL Facility. In addition, obligations under the facility are secured by certain first-priority security interests in the assets of the borrowers and the guarantors. Amounts drawn bear annual interest at either the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25% or at a base rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.25%.

The ABL Facility matures on October 13, 2016. At closing, approximately $800 million was drawn and the borrowers had approximately $1,000 million available for additional borrowings, subject to borrowing base limitations.
