We will pay interest on the notes each April 15 and October 15. The first interest payment will be made on April 15, 2003. We may redeem the notes on or after April 15, 2005. Prior to April 15, 2004, we may redeem up to 35% of the notes from the proceeds of equity offerings. There is no sinking fund for the notes.

Our obligations under the notes, including full and prompt payment of principal and interest when due, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our parent company, United Rentals, Inc., and, subject to limited exceptions, our current and future domestic subsidiaries. Our foreign subsidiaries will not be guarantors.

INVESTING IN THE NOTES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 9 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EXCHANGE OFFER AND AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This prospectus incorporates important business and financial information about us that is not included in or delivered with this prospectus. This information is available without charge to you upon written or oral request. If you would like a copy of any of this information, please submit your request to United Rentals (North America), Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, Five Greenwich Office Park, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, telephone number: (203) 622-3131. Our website address is www.unitedrentals.com.

IN ORDER TO OBTAIN TIMELY DELIVERY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY REQUEST, YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST NO LATER THAN , 2003, WHICH IS FIVE BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE DATE THE EXCHANGE OFFER EXPIRES.

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and the financial statements and related notes that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated, (i) the term “URI” refers to United Rentals (North America), Inc., the issuer of the notes, (ii) the term “Holdings” refer to United Rentals, Inc., the parent of URI and a guarantor of the notes, and (iii) the terms “United Rentals,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” or “the company” refer to Holdings and its subsidiaries.

United Rentals is the largest equipment rental company in the world. We offer for rent over 600 types of equipment—everything from heavy machines to hand tools—through our network of more than 750 rental locations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Our customers include construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and others. In 2002, we added 300,000 new customers, increasing our total customer base to 1.7 million, completed over 8.6 million rental transactions and generated revenues of $2.8 billion.

Our fleet of rental equipment, the largest in the world, includes over 500,000 units having an original purchase price of approximately $3.7 billion. Our fleet includes:

In addition to renting equipment, we sell used rental equipment, act as a dealer for new equipment and sell related merchandise, parts and service.

In December 2002, URI sold $210 million aggregate principal amount of its
10³/4% Senior Notes due 2008. The notes were sold at a price of 97.045%. The gross proceeds to us from the sale of the notes were approximately $203.8 million and the net proceeds were approximately $199.4 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to (1) permanently repay $99.7 million under our existing term loan and (2) repay $99.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In connection with the offering of the notes, we amended the agreements governing our existing term loan and revolving credit facility to (1) provide us with greater flexibility in maintaining or satisfying certain financial ratios and tests required thereunder and (ii) reduce the maximum borrowings available under our revolving credit facility from $750 million to $650 million.

At December 31, 2002, the annual interest rate on our term loan was 4.8% and the annual interest rate on our revolving credit facility was 5.3%. Our term loan matures on September 30, 2007 and our revolving credit facility matures and terminates on October 20, 2006.

If you are a broker-dealer that purchased unregistered notes for your own account as part of market-making or trading activities, you must deliver a prospectus when you sell registered notes. We have agreed in the registration rights agreement to allow you to use this prospectus for such purpose during the 90-day period following consummation of the exchange offer (subject to limitations under certain circumstances). We may be required to extend this 90-day period under certain circumstances described herein.

If you are a broker-dealer, you will be required to confirm that you will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements described above.

The procedures mentioned above are described under the heading “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering.”

This exchange offer applies to $210 million aggregate principal amount of the original unregistered notes. The terms of the registered notes will be essentially the same as the original unregistered notes, except that (1) the registered notes will not be subject to the restrictions on transfer that apply to the unregistered original notes, and (2) the registration rights relating to the original unregistered notes are different than those relating to the registered notes. The registered notes issued in this exchange offer will evidence the same debt as the original unregistered notes and both series of notes will be entitled to the benefits of the same indenture and treated as a single class of debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in the summary below to the “notes” refer to both the original unregistered notes and the registered notes to be issued in this exchange offer.

In addition, on or before April 15, 2004, we may, at our option, use the net proceeds from one or more public equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued, at a redemption price of 110.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 for a discussion of certain factors you should carefully consider in connection with this exchange offer and an investment in the notes.

The tables below present selected consolidated financial information for our company. You should read this information together with the information set forth under “Selected Consolidated Financial Information” and the consolidated financial statements of our company and the related notes which are incorporated by reference herein.

We completed acquisitions in each of the periods referred to in the table below. See Note 3 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference herein. In view of the fact that our operating results for these years were affected by acquisitions, we believe that our results for these periods are not directly comparable.

You should carefully consider the following factors and the other information in this prospectus in connection with this exchange offer and an investment in the notes.

Our substantial indebtedness will require us to devote a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service and could, among other things, constrain our ability to obtain additional financing and make it more difficult for us to cope with a downturn in our business.

We had approximately $2,512.8 million of indebtedness as of December 31, 2002. Our substantial indebtedness has the potential to affect us adversely in a number of ways. For example, it will or could:

Furthermore, if we are unable to service our indebtedness and fund our business, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include:

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

The notes will not restrict our ability to borrow substantial additional indebtedness in the future. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks described above would increase.

An increase in market interest rates would increase our interest expense and our debt service obligations because some of our debt bears interest at variable rates.

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. On December 31, 2002, we had $844.9 million of variable rate indebtedness.

Although the notes are referred to as “senior notes,” they are effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness and all obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The notes are unsecured obligations of URI and are guaranteed by (1) URI’s parent and (2) subject to limited exceptions, URI’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. The notes are not guaranteed by URI’s foreign subsidiaries. As a result of this structure, the notes are effectively subordinated to (1) all secured indebtedness of URI and each guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral, and (2) all indebtedness and other obligations, including trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. The effect of this subordination is that, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding involving us or a subsidiary, the assets of the affected entity could not be used to pay you until after:

On December 31, 2002, (1) URI and the guarantors had outstanding an aggregate of $833.6 million of secured indebtedness that is effectively senior to the notes and (2) the non-guarantor subsidiaries had outstanding an aggregate of $58.0 million of indebtedness and other obligations that are effectively senior to the notes. We may incur additional secured indebtedness.

URI has a holding company structure and will depend on distributions from its subsidiaries in order to pay the notes and certain provisions of law or contractual restrictions could limit distributions from its subsidiaries.

URI derives substantially all its operating income from, and holds substantially all its assets through, its subsidiaries. The effect of this structure is that URI will depend on the earnings of its subsidiaries, and the payment or other distribution to URI of these earnings, in order to meet its obligations under the notes and other outstanding debt. Provisions of law, such as those requiring that dividends be only paid from surplus, could limit the ability of URI’s subsidiaries to make payments or other distributions to URI. Furthermore, these subsidiaries could agree to contractual restrictions on their ability to make distributions.

If we experience a change of control, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes. However, we may be unable to do so due to lack of funds or covenant restrictions. As a result, you may be required to continue to hold your notes even after a change of control.

If we experience a change of control, we will be required to make an offer to purchase all outstanding notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. However, we may be unable to do so because:

A guarantee could be voided if the guarantor fraudulently transferred the guarantee at the time it incurred the indebtedness, which could result in the noteholders being able to rely on only URI to satisfy claims.

A guarantee 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 making of complex factual determinations and estimates as to which there may be different opinions and views. Accordingly, while we believe that the guarantees of the notes are not fraudulent transfers, it is possible that a court could disagree.

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

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

Our business could be hurt if we are unable to satisfy the financial tests required by our credit facility and term loan. Furthermore, restrictive covenants could adversely affect our operating results by limiting our flexibility.

Under the agreements governing our credit facility and our term loan, we are required to, among other things, satisfy certain financial tests relating to: (a) minimum interest coverage ratio, (b) the ratio of funded debt to cash flow, (c) the ratio of senior debt to tangible assets and (d) the ratio of senior debt to cash flow. If we are unable to satisfy any of these covenants, the lenders could elect to terminate the credit facility and require us to repay the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and our term loan. In such event, unless we are able to refinance the indebtedness coming due and replace the revolving credit facility, we would likely not have sufficient liquidity for our business needs and be forced to adopt an alternative strategy as described above under the risk factor that begins “Our substantial indebtedness will require us . . . ” Even if we adopt an alternative strategy, the strategy may not be successful and we may not have sufficient liquidity for our business.

We are also subject to various other covenants under the agreements governing our credit facility, term loan and other indebtedness. These covenants limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to incur indebtedness, make prepayments of certain indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, create liens, make acquisitions, sell assets and engage in mergers and acquisitions. These covenants could adversely affect our operating results by significantly limiting our operating and financial flexibility.

If we are unable to obtain additional capital as required, we may be unable to fund the capital outlays required for the success of our business, including those relating to purchasing equipment, making acquisitions, opening new rental locations and refinancing existing indebtedness.

If the cash that we generate from our business, together with cash that we may borrow under our credit facility, is not sufficient to fund our capital requirements, we will require additional debt and/or equity financing. However, we may not succeed in obtaining the requisite additional financing on terms that are satisfactory to us or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional capital in the future, we may be unable to fund the capital outlays required for the success of our business, including those relating to purchasing equipment, making acquisitions, opening new rental locations and refinancing existing indebtedness.

Decreases in construction and industrial activities could adversely affect our revenues and operating results by decreasing the demand for our equipment or the prices that we can charge.

Our equipment is principally used in connection with construction and industrial activities. Consequently, decreases in construction or industrial activity due to a recession or other reasons may lead to a decrease in the demand for our equipment or the prices that we can charge. Any such decrease could adversely affect our operating results by decreasing our revenues and gross profit margins. For example, there was a significant decline in non-residential construction activity in 2002 which depressed demand for our equipment and put downward pressure on rental rates. This was the principal reason that in 2002 (1) our rental rates declined approximately 4.8% from 2001, (2) our rental revenues from locations open more than one year declined approximately 2.7% from 2001 and (3) our gross profit margin from rental revenues declined to 32.1% from 37.9% in 2001.

We have identified below certain factors that may cause a further downturn in construction and industrial activity, either temporarily or long-term:

In addition, demand for our equipment may not reach projected levels in the event that funding for highway and other construction projects under government programs is reduced.

If we lose any member of our senior management team and are unable to find a suitable replacement, we may not have the depth of senior management resources required to efficiently manage our business and execute our growth strategy.

Our success is highly dependent on the experience and skills of our senior management team. If we lose the services of any member of this team and are unable to find a suitable replacement, we may not have the depth of senior management resources required to efficiently manage our business and execute our strategy. We do not maintain “key man” life insurance on the lives of members of senior management.

Our industry is highly competitive, and competitive pressures could lead to a decrease in our market share or in the prices that we can charge.

The equipment rental industry is highly fragmented and competitive. Our competitors primarily include small, independent businesses with one or two rental locations, regional competitors which operate in one or more states, public companies or divisions of public companies, and equipment vendors and dealers who both sell and rent equipment directly to customers. We may in the future encounter increased competition from our existing competitors or from new companies. Competitive pressures could adversely affect our revenues and operating results by decreasing our market share or depressing the prices that we can charge.

Our operating results may fluctuate which could affect the trading value of the notes.

We expect that our revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter or over the longer term, which could adversely affect the trading value of the notes. Factors that might cause such fluctuations, include:

We have made acquisitions, which entails certain risks. It is possible that we will not realize the expected benefits from our acquisitions or that our existing operations will be harmed as a result of acquisitions.

We have grown in part through acquisitions and may continue to do so. The making of acquisitions entails certain risks, including:

Goodwill related to acquisitions represents a substantial portion of our total assets. If the fair value of the goodwill should drop below the recorded value, we would be required to write off the excess goodwill. Any write-off would reduce our total assets and stockholders’ equity and be a charge against income.

At December 31, 2002, we had on our balance sheet goodwill in the amount of $1,705.2 million, which represented approximately 36.4% of our total assets at such date. This goodwill is an intangible asset and represents the excess of the purchase price that we paid for acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the net assets of those businesses. We are required to test our goodwill for impairment at least annually. In general, this means that we must determine whether the fair value of the goodwill, calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, is at least equal to the recorded value shown on our balance sheet. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the recorded value, we are required to write off the excess goodwill as an expense. Any write-off would reduce our total assets and stockholders’ equity and be a charge against income.

We test for goodwill impairment on a branch-by-branch basis rather than on an aggregate basis. This means that a goodwill write-off is required even if only one or a limited number of our branches has impairment and even if there is no impairment for all our branches on an aggregate basis. Factors that may cause future impairment at a particular branch, in addition to macro economic factors that affect all our branches, include changes in local demand and local competitive conditions. The fact that we test for impairment on a branch-by- branch basis increases the likelihood that we will be required to take additional non-cash goodwill write-offs in the future, although we cannot quantify at this time the magnitude of any future write-off.

Disruptions in our information technology systems could adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations.

Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market conditions. Any disruptions in these systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market conditions.

We are exposed to various possible claims relating to our business, and our insurance may not fully protect us.

We are exposed to various possible claims relating to our business. These possible claims include those relating to (1) personal injury or death caused by equipment rented or sold by us, (2) motor vehicle accidents involving our delivery and service personnel and (3) employment related claims. We carry a broad range of insurance for the protection of our assets and operations. However, such insurance may not fully protect us for a number of reasons, including:

If we are found liable for any significant claims that are not covered by insurance, our operating results could be adversely affected because our expenses related to claims would increase. It is possible that some or all of the insurance that is currently available to us will not be available in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all.

We are subject to numerous environmental and safety regulations. If we are required to incur compliance or remediation costs that are not currently anticipated our operating results could be hurt.

Our operations are subject to numerous laws governing environmental protection and occupational health and safety matters. These laws regulate such issues as wastewater, stormwater, solid and hazardous wastes and materials, and air quality. Under these laws, we may be liable for, among other things, (1) the costs of investigating and remediating contamination at our sites as well as sites to which we sent hazardous wastes for disposal or treatment regardless of fault and (2) fines and penalties for non-compliance. Our operations generally do not raise significant environmental risks, but we use hazardous materials to clean and maintain equipment, and dispose of solid and hazardous waste and wastewater from equipment washing, and store and dispense petroleum products from underground and above-ground storage tanks located at certain of our locations.

Based on the conditions currently known to us, we do not believe that any pending or likely remediation and compliance costs will have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot be certain, however, as to the potential financial impact on our business if new adverse environmental conditions are discovered or environmental and safety requirements become more stringent. If we are required to incur environmental compliance or remediation costs that are not currently anticipated by us, our operating results could be adversely affected depending on the magnitude of the cost.

Labor disputes could disrupt our ability to serve our customers or lead to higher labor costs.

We have 1,063 employees that are represented by unions and covered by collective bargaining agreements. If we should experience a prolonged labor dispute involving a significant number of our employees, our ability to serve our customers could be adversely affected. Furthermore, our labor costs could increase as a result of the settlement of actual or threatened labor disputes.

We have estimated the incremental maintenance costs that will be required in connection with our plan to increase the weighted average age of our fleet. If our estimates are wrong, our operating results may be adversely affected because our maintenance expenses would be higher than anticipated.

The weighted average age of our fleet is approximately 37 months. We plan to increase the weighted average age to 42 months by the end of 2002 and may further increase the age to about 45 months over the longer term. In formulating this plan, we have made estimates concerning the relationship between the age of our fleet and required maintenance costs. If our estimates are wrong, our operating results may be adversely affected because our maintenance expenses would be higher than anticipated.

We have operations outside the United States. As a result, we may incur losses from currency conversions and have higher costs than we otherwise would have due to the need to comply with foreign laws.

Our operations in Canada and Mexico are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations. These include (1) the need to convert currencies, which could result in a gain or loss depending on fluctuations in exchange rates, (2) the need to comply with foreign laws and (3) the possibility of political or economic instability in foreign countries.

It is not certain that there will be an active trading market for the notes because there currently is no trading market for the notes, and we do not intend to list the notes on any exchange. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected.

The trading price for our notes may be volatile and, as a result, you may not be able to sell your notes for as much as you paid for them.

The trading price of the notes could be subject to significant fluctuation in response to, among other factors, changes in our operating results, interest rates, the market for noninvestment grade securities, general economic conditions, and securities analysts’ recommendations regarding our securities. As a result, you may not be able to sell your notes for as much as you paid for them.

If you fail to comply with the procedures described in this prospectus, you may lose your opportunity to participate in this exchange offer.

Set forth below is certain information concerning our revolving credit facility and term loan. The credit facility and the term loan are governed by the same credit agreement. This credit agreement is an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The revolving credit facility enables URI to borrow up to $650 million on a revolving basis and enables certain of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries to borrow up to $50 million (provided that the aggregate borrowings of URI and the Canadian subsidiaries may not exceed $650 million). Up to $175 million of the revolving credit facility is available in the form of letters of credit. The revolving credit facility will mature and terminate on October 20, 2006.

On April 20, 2001, URI obtained a $750 million term loan. Amounts repaid in respect of the term loan may not be reborrowed. URI must repay the principal of the term loan in installments. Remaining principal installments are: (i) on December 31, 2006, URI must repay approximately $107.5 million and (ii) on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to and including September 30, 2007, URI must repay approximately $177.2 million.

As of December 31, 2002, borrowings by URI under the revolving credit facility accrue interest, at URI’s option, at either (A) the ABR rate (which is equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (ii) the Chase Manhattan Bank’s prime rate) plus a margin of 1.50% or (B) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The above interest rate margins are adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s financial leverage ratio, up to maximum margins of 1.75% and 2.75%, for revolving loans based on the ABR rate and the adjusted LIBOR rate, respectively, and down to minimum margins of 0.75% and 1.75%, for revolving loans based on the ABR rate and the adjusted LIBOR rate, respectively.

As of December 31, 2002, borrowings by the Canadian subsidiaries under the revolving credit facility accrue interest, at such subsidiaries’ option, at either (X) the Canadian prime rate (which is equal to the Chase Manhattan Bank of Canada’s prime rate) plus a margin of 1.50% or (Y) the B/A rate (which is equal to the Chase Manhattan Bank of Canada’s B/A rate) plus a margin of 2.50%. The above interest rate margins are adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s financial leverage ratio, up to maximum margins of 1.75% and 2.75%, for revolving loans based on the Canadian prime rate and the B/A rate, respectively, and down to minimum margins of 0.75% and 1.75%, for revolving loans based on the Canadian prime rate and the B/A rate, respectively.

URI is also required to pay the lenders a commitment fee equal to 0.5% per annum in respect of undrawn commitments under the revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the term loan accrue interest, at URI’s option, at either (a) the ABR rate (which is equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (ii) the Chase Manhattan Bank’s prime rate) plus a margin of 2.0%, or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.0%.

If at any time an event of default under the credit agreement exists, the interest rate applicable to each revolving loan and the term loan will increase by 2% per annum.

The credit agreement contains certain covenants that require Holdings to, among other things, satisfy the following financial tests (capitalized terms are used as defined in the credit agreement): (a) the Funded Debt to Cash Flow Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter must not exceed 4.25 to 1.0; (b) the Senior Debt to Cash Flow Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0; (c) the ratio of Senior Debt

(excluding Securitization Obligations) to Tangible Assets (excluding certain specified assets) must not exceed 1.0 to 1.0 at any time; and (d) the Interest Coverage Ratio for any four fiscal quarter period ending during any period set forth below must not be less than the ratio set forth opposite such period:

The credit agreement also contains various other covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) permit liens to attach to its assets, (iii) pay dividends or make other restricted payments on its common stock and certain other securities and (iv) make acquisitions unless certain financial conditions are satisfied. The credit agreement also provides for other covenants, representations, warranties, indemnities and events of default that are customary for agreements of this type, including events of default relating to a change of control of Holdings. In addition, URI is required to make prepayments, subject to limited exceptions, on loans under the credit agreement to the extent necessary to eliminate requirements to repurchase or redeem, or make an offer to repurchase or redeem, other indebtedness.

URI’s obligations under the credit agreement are, subject to limited exceptions, (i) guaranteed by Holdings and URI’s United States subsidiaries and (ii) secured by substantially all of URI’s assets, the stock of URI and the stock of Holdings’ other United States subsidiaries and a portion of the stock of Holdings’ Canadian subsidiaries. The obligations of the Canadian subsidiaries that may borrow under the revolving credit facility are, subject to limited exceptions, guaranteed by the Company’s other Canadian subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Canadian subsidiaries and pledges of stock of Canadian subsidiaries.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which addresses consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a parent company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either does not have equity investors with voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003. For older entities, these requirements will begin to apply in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

We lease a portion of our rental equipment under operating leases (as described in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated by reference herein), and based on our preliminary assessment a substantial portion of these leases may be with VIEs. In accordance with currently applicable accounting standards, neither the equipment subject to these leases nor the lease obligations are reflected on our balance sheet (rather the lease payments are reflected as an expense). FIN 46 will change this treatment for those operating leases that are with VIEs. If FIN 46 applies, the lease payment obligations would be reflected as debt on our balance sheet and the equipment, less applicable depreciation, would be reflected as an asset. To the extent that the amount of additional debt recorded on the balance sheet in connection with adoption of FIN 46 exceeds the amount of the additional assets so recorded, we would recognize a non-cash expense designated as “cumulative effect of change in accounting principle” which could be material. The adoption of FIN 46 will not change the amount of our contractual payment obligations and should not impact compliance with our existing debt covenants. Accordingly, the adoption of FIN 46 should not have a material impact on our liquidity or overall financial condition.

The following is a summary of the material terms of this exchange offer (“the Exchange Offer”). The full text of the documents underlying the Exchange Offer, including the Letter of Transmittal and the Registration Rights Agreement, are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Participation in the Exchange Offer is voluntary, and holders of unregistered original notes (the “Original Notes”) should carefully consider whether to participate. Holders of Original Notes are urged to consult their financial and tax advisors in making their decision on what action to take.

The Exchange Offer is being made in order to satisfy certain of URI’s obligations under a Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Original Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). See “Registration Rights Agreement.” Holders of the Original Notes who do not tender their Original Notes in the Exchange Offer will continue to hold such Original Notes and will be entitled to all the rights and will be subject to all the limitations applicable thereto under the indenture governing the notes (the “Indenture”). All Original Notes that remain outstanding upon consummation of the Exchange Offer will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided for in the Original Notes and the Indenture. In general, the Original Notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. To the extent that the Original Notes are tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer, the trading market for untendered Original Notes could be adversely affected.

In connection with any tender of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Book-Entry Holder (as defined below) of such Original Notes will be required to make certain representations in the Letter of Transmittal, including that (i) it is not affiliate of URI, (ii) it is not a broker-dealer that purchased such Original Notes directly from URI, (iii) any registered notes that it acquires in the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Notes”) will be acquired by it in the ordinary course of its business and (iv) it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; provided, however, that if the Book-Entry Holder is a broker-dealer that wishes to tender Original Notes that were acquired by it for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it may represent, in lieu of the representation set forth in clause (iv), that it has no arrangement or understanding with URI, or any affiliate of URI, to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes. In addition, a Book-Entry Holder that holds any Original Notes as nominee will be required to confirm that the beneficial owner for which it is holding such Original Notes has made the representations provided for in the preceding sentence.

The term “Book-Entry Holder” with respect to any notes means the participant in the system of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) that is listed as the holder of such notes in the records maintained by DTC.

Based on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, URI believes that (except as provided in the following two paragraphs) the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by any holder thereof (other than an affiliate of URI) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act (subject to the representations set forth under “—Required Representations” being made and being accurate).

Any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes in exchange for Original Notes that were acquired by it for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must deliver a prospectus

meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales by it of any such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may, if permitted by URI, be used by a broker-dealer in order to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirements. URI has agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement that, for a period of 90 days following consummation of the Exchange Offer (subject to extension under certain circumstances described under “Plan of Distribution”), it will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale (subject to limitations on the use of this prospectus under certain circumstances). Each broker-dealer that participates in the Exchange Offer will be required to confirm that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements described above. A broker-dealer that delivers a prospectus in connection with the resale of any Exchange Notes will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”

In the event that any of the required representations set forth under “—Required Representations” is not true with respect to a holder that receives Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes received by such holder may be deemed to be restricted securities and, if so, such Exchange Notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The conclusions set forth in the preceding three paragraphs are based on interpretations by the staff of the Commission set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties. URI does not intend to seek its own no-action letter with respect to the Exchange Offer and there is no assurance that the staff of the Commission would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as it has in such no-action letters to third parties.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, URI will accept for exchange all Original Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (as defined herein). URI will issue $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Original Notes accepted in the Exchange Offer. Holders may tender some or all of their Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Original Notes being tendered.

The terms of the Exchange Notes will be the same in all material respects as the Original Notes except that (i) the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof and (ii) certain of the registration rights, under the Registration Rights Agreement, relating to the Exchange Notes are different than those relating to the Original Notes and, therefore, the defaults under the Registration Rights Agreement that may require URI to pay additional interest will be different for the Exchange Notes and the Original Notes. See “Registration Rights Agreement.” The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Original Notes and both series of notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and treated as a single class of debt securities.

In connection with the issuance of the Original Notes, URI arranged for the Original Notes to be issued and transferable in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC, acting as depositary. The Exchange Notes will also be issuable and transferable in book-entry form through DTC. See “Description of the Notes—Book Entry; Delivery and Form.”

URI shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes when, as and if URI has given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent (as defined herein). The Exchange Agent will act as agent for URI for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes from URI and delivering Exchange Notes to tendering holders of Original Notes. URI’s obligation to accept Original Notes for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer is subject to certain customary conditions as set forth under “—Conditions.”

If any tendered Original Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender or the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein, such unaccepted Original Notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof promptly after the Expiration Date.

Holders of Original Notes who tender pursuant to the Exchange Offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. URI will pay all such charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See “—Solicitation of Tenders; Fees and Expenses.”

Holders of notes do not have appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law or under the Indenture in connection with the Exchange Offer. URI intends to conduct the Exchange Offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation 14E under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

NEITHER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF URI NOR URI MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO HOLDERS OF ORIGINAL NOTES AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THEIR ORIGINAL NOTES PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER. MOREOVER, NO ONE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY SUCH RECOMMENDATION. HOLDERS OF ORIGINAL NOTES MUST MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION WHETHER TO TENDER PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND, IF SO, THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL NOTES TO TENDER, AFTER READING THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSULTING WITH THEIR ADVISORS, IF ANY, BASED ON THEIR OWN FINANCIAL POSITION AND REQUIREMENTS.

The Exchange Offer will remain open for acceptance for a period of not less than 30 days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to holders of the Original Notes (or longer if required by applicable law). The Expiration Date will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2003, unless URI, in its sole discretion, extends the Exchange Offer for up to 60 days, in which case the Expiration Date will be the latest business day to which the Exchange Offer is extended. In order to extend the Expiration Date, URI will notify the Exchange Agent of any extension by oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice and will notify the record holders by means of a press release or other public announcement, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date. During any such extension, all Original Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn as herein provided will remain subject to the Exchange Offer and may be accepted for exchange by URI on the Expiration Date.

Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2003, at the rate of 10³/4% per annum. The Exchange Notes will bear interest from and including the last interest payment date on the Original Notes (or, if none has yet occurred, October 15, 2002).

Only a Book-Entry Holder of Original Notes may tender such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. To tender any Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Book-Entry Holder of such Original Notes must make book-entry delivery of such Original Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Original Notes to the account of the Exchange Agent at DTC in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. In addition, either (i) DTC must

deliver an Agent’s Message (as defined below) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, indicating that DTC has received from such Book-Entry Holder an express acknowledgment that such Book-Entry Holder has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) such Book-Entry Holder must complete, sign and date the Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile thereof, in accordance with the instructions contained herein and therein, and deliver such Letter of Transmittal, or such facsimile, and any other required documentation to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation relating to a book-entry transfer of Original Notes through ATOP, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the DTC participant that is tendering the Original Notes which are the subject of such book entry confirmation, that such DTC participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal.

The tender by a holder of Original Notes and the acceptance thereof by URI will constitute an agreement between such holder and URI in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT HOLDERS USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. NO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL SHOULD BE SENT TO URI OR DTC.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance of tendered Original Notes and withdrawal of tendered Original Notes will be determined by URI in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. URI reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Original Notes not properly tendered or any Original Notes URI’s acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for URI, be unlawful. URI also reserves the right to waive prior to the Expiration Date any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Original Notes. URI’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived prior to the Expiration Date, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within such time prior to the Expiration Date as URI shall determine. Neither URI, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Original Notes, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Original Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Original Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered or the tender of which is otherwise rejected by URI and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived prior to the Expiration Date will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the Book-Entry Holder that tendered such Original Notes (by crediting an account maintained at DTC designated by such Book-Entry Holder) promptly following the Expiration Date.

Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of Original Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

To withdraw a tender of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Book-Entry Holder that tendered such Original Notes must, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, either (i) withdraw such tender in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the ATOP system or (ii) deliver to the Exchange Agent a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal at the address set forth herein. Any such notice of withdrawal must contain the name and number of the Book-Entry Holder, the amount of Original Notes to which such withdrawal relates, the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes

and the signature of the Book-Entry Holder. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such withdrawal notices will be determined by URI in its sole discretion, whose determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any Original Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer, and no Exchange Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Original Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any Original Notes which have been tendered but which are withdrawn will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the Book-Entry Holder that tendered such Original Notes (by crediting an account maintained at DTC designated by such Book-Entry Holder) promptly after withdrawal. Properly withdrawn Original Notes may be retendered at any time prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering.”

Set forth below is information concerning the conditions to the Exchange Offer. All conditions, other than conditions subject to regulatory approvals, must be satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding any other term of the Exchange Offer, URI shall not be required to accept for exchange, or to exchange Exchange Notes for, any Original Notes, and may terminate or amend the Exchange Offer as provided herein before the acceptance of such Original Notes, if:

If URI determines in its reasonable judgment that any of the conditions set forth above are not satisfied, URI may (i) terminate the Exchange Offer and refuse to accept any Original Notes and return all tendered Original Notes to the tendering holders, (ii) extend the Exchange Offer and retain all Original Notes tendered prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer subject, however, to the rights of holders to withdraw such Original Notes (see “—Withdrawals of Tenders”) or (iii) waive such unsatisfied conditions with respect to the Exchange Offer and accept all properly tendered Original Notes which have not been withdrawn. Moreover, regardless of whether any of such conditions has occurred, URI may amend the Exchange Offer in any manner which, in its good faith judgment, is advantageous to holders of the Original Notes.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of URI and may be asserted by URI prior to the Expiration Date regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by URI in whole or in part at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date in its sole discretion. The failure by URI at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. If a waiver constitutes a material change in the Exchange Offer, URI will disclose such change by means of a supplement to this prospectus that will be distributed to each Book-Entry Holder, and URI will extend the Exchange Offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the Book-Entry Holders, if the Exchange Offer would otherwise expire during such period. Any determination by URI concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon all parties.

In addition, URI will not accept for exchange any Original Notes tendered, and no Exchange Notes will be issued in exchange for any such Original Notes, if at such time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or if the Indenture is not qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. URI is required to use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any such stop order at the earliest possible time.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Original Notes being tendered for exchange.

The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, has been appointed as Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer. In such capacity, the Exchange Agent has no fiduciary duties to the holders of the notes and will be acting solely on the basis of directions of URI. All executed Letters of Transmittal must be delivered to the Exchange Agent at the applicable address set forth below. Questions and requests for assistance and requests for additional copies of this prospectus or the Letter of Transmittal should be directed to the Exchange Agent addressed as follows:

DELIVERY OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OR FACSIMILE NUMBER OTHER THAN SET FORTH ABOVE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY.

The expenses of soliciting tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be borne by URI. The principal solicitation for tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offer is being made by mail; however, additional solicitations may be made by telegraph, facsimile, telephone or in person by officers and regular employees of URI and its affiliates.

URI has not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the Exchange Offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. URI will, however, pay the Exchange Agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the Exchange Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith and pay other expenses of the Exchange Offer, including fees and expenses of the Trustee, filing fees, and URI’s accounting and legal fees and printing and distribution expenses. URI may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus, Letters of Transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the Original Notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange.

URI will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, Exchange Notes or Original Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any person other than the Book-Entry Holder of the Original Notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether

imposed on the Book-Entry Holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Original Notes for which they are exchanged, as reflected in URI’s accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be recognized in connection with the Exchange Offer. The cost of the Exchange Offer will be deferred and amortized over the term of the Exchange Notes.

URI may in the future seek to acquire untendered Original Notes, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. URI has no present plans to acquire any Original Notes that are not tendered in the Exchange Offer.

The following is a general discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, exchange and disposition of notes. This discussion is a summary for general information purposes only and does not consider all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal circumstances. This discussion is generally limited to the tax consequences to initial holders of the notes that are beneficial owners of the notes, that hold the notes as capital assets (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) and that purchase the notes at the “issue price.” For this purpose, the “issue price” of a note is the first price at which a substantial part of the notes are sold to the public for money (excluding sales to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers).

This discussion is based upon the United States federal tax laws now in effect, which are subject to change, possibly retroactively. We have not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on the tax consequences of owning the notes. As a result, the IRS could disagree with portions of this discussion. This discussion generally does not describe the treatment of investors in pass-through entities that hold the notes. In addition, certain other holders (including insurance companies, tax exempt organizations, financial institutions and broker-dealers, persons who hold the notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” or “conversion transaction” or other integrated transaction, or persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or foreign law or the estate tax or gift tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of notes (except with respect to estate tax consequences to the extent described below under “Non-U.S. Holders.”)

Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding, exchanging and disposing of notes, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any foreign, state, local or other taxing jurisdiction.

The following discussion is limited to the U.S. federal tax consequences to a “U.S. Holder” of a note. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is (i) an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof; (iii) an estate whose income is includable in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source or (iv) a trust, if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

The notes were issued with original issue discount (“OID”) in an amount equal to the excess of the “stated redemption price at maturity” over the “issue price” of the notes. The “issue price” of a note will be the first price at which a substantial portion of the notes is sold for money (excluding sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The “stated redemption price at maturity” is the sum of all payments to be made on the notes, other than “qualified stated interest.” The term “qualified stated interest” means, generally, stated interest that is unconditionally payable at least annually at a qualifying rate, including a single fixed rate, during the entire term of the debt instrument. All stated interest on the notes (other than any “Pre-Issue interest” as described below) should be qualified stated interest which will be taxed to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income either at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with such holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A U.S. Holder of a note, in general, must include in ordinary income OID calculated on a constant-yield to maturity method as prescribed by Treasury Regulations in advance of the receipt of some or all of the related

cash payments. The amount of OID included in gross income as interest by an initial U. S.Holder of a note is the sum of the “daily portions” of OID with respect to that note for each day during the taxable year or portion thereof in which the U.S. Holder holds the note. This amount is referred to as “accrued OID.” The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period is equal to the difference between:

OID allocable to the final accrual period is the difference between the amount payable at maturity of the note and the note’s “adjusted issue price” at the beginning of the final accrual period. The “adjusted issue price” of a note at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period.

In acquiring a note, a U.S. Holder becomes entitled to receive a payment in respect of interest accrued for the period of October 15, 2002, through the issue date (“Pre-issue Interest”). Under applicable Treasury Regulations, the portion of a U.S. Holder’s initial amount paid for a note that is allocable to such Pre-issue Interest can be considered subtracted from the U.S. Holder’s purchase price for a note. Accordingly, any portion of a payment on a note with respect to Pre-issue Interest will not be included in income or accrued. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder can receive the entire first interest payment as interest income; such U.S. Holder’s purchase price in a note will not be adjusted to account for Pre-issue Interest.

In the event of a Change of Control, the U.S. Holders of notes will have the right to require us to purchase their notes. The Treasury Regulations provide that the right of U.S. Holders of the notes to require redemption of the notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control will not affect the yield or maturity of the notes if the likelihood of the occurrence, as of the date the notes are issued, is remote. We intend to take the position that the likelihood of a repurchase, if there is a Change of Control, is remote under applicable Treasury Regulations and thus do not intend to treat this possibility as affecting the yield to maturity of the notes.

We may redeem the notes at any time on or after a certain date, and, in certain circumstances, may redeem or repurchase all or a portion of the notes at any time prior to the maturity date. Under the Treasury Regulations, we will be deemed to exercise any option to redeem the notes if the exercise of such option would lower the yield of the debt instrument. We believe, and intend to take the position for all income tax purposes, that we will not be treated as having exercised the option to redeem the notes under these rules.

Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange (other than pursuant to the Exchange Offer), redemption or repayment, the U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued interest not yet taken into income) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note generally will equal the cost of the note (net of accrued interest) plus any OID you have taken into income.

Because the note is held as a capital asset, such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain if the note is held for longer than one year. Non-corporate taxpayers are generally subject to a maximum regular federal income tax rate of 20% on net long-term capital gain. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

The exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer should not constitute a material modification of the terms of the notes and therefore should not constitute a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that event, the exchange would have no U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder, so that the U.S. Holder’s holding period and adjusted tax basis for an Exchange Note would not be affected, and the U.S. Holder would continue to take into account income in respect of an Exchange Note in the same manner as before the exchange.

A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a rate of up to 30% with respect to interest, OID, principal payments on the notes, and proceeds from the disposition of notes unless the U.S. Holder (i) is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories of recipients and, when required, demonstrates that status, or (ii) provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount paid as backup withholding would be refunded or credited against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is provided to the IRS.

The following discussion is limited to the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to a beneficial owner of a note that is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder (a “Non-United States Holder”).

For purposes of the discussion below, stated interest, OID and gain on the sale, exchange or other disposition of notes will be considered to be “U.S. trade or business income” if such income or gain is (i) effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business or (ii) in the case of a treaty resident, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment (or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base) in the United States.

Generally, interest (including OID) paid by us to a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax if such interest (including OID) is not U.S. trade or business income and is “portfolio interest.” Generally, interest (including OID) on the notes will qualify as portfolio interest if the Non-United States Holder (i) does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote, (ii) is not a controlled foreign corporation with respect to which we are a “related person” within the meaning of the Code, (iii) certifies, under penalties of perjury on a Form W-8BEN, that such holder is not a United States person and provides such holder’s name and address and (iv) is not a bank that is receiving the interest on a loan made in the ordinary course of its trade or business.

The gross amount of payments of interest (including OID) that do not qualify for the portfolio interest exception and that are not U.S. trade or business income will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless a treaty applies to reduce or eliminate withholding. Payments of OID that do not qualify for the portfolio interest exception and that are not U.S. trade or business income generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% on the redemption of the notes or upon certain sales or exchanges of the notes unless a treaty applies to reduce or eliminate withholding. U.S. trade or business income will be taxed at regular, graduated U.S. rates rather than the 30% gross rate. In the case of a Non-United States Holder that is a corporation, such U.S. trade or business income may also be subject to the branch profits tax. To claim exemption from withholding or to claim the benefits of a treaty, a Non-United States Holder must provide a properly executed Form W-8BEN

(claiming treaty benefits) or W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because income is U.S. trade or business income) (or such successor forms as the IRS designates), as applicable prior to the payment of interest (including OID). These forms must be periodically updated. A Non-United States Holder who is claiming the benefits of a treaty may be required in certain instances to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number and to provide certain documentary evidence issued by foreign governmental authorities to prove residence in the foreign country. Also, under applicable Treasury Regulations, special procedures are provided for payments through qualified intermediaries.

Except as described below and subject to the discussion concerning backup withholding, a Non-United States Holder will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain recognized on a sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of a note unless (i) the gain is U.S. trade or business income in which case the branch profits tax may also apply to a corporate Non-United States Holder; (ii) the Non-United States Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; (iii) the gain represents accrued interest in which case the rules for interest would apply or (iv) the Non-United States Holder is subject to the special rules applicable to certain U.S. expatriates (including certain former citizens and residents of the United States).

Upon a sale, exchange or redemption of a note, no U.S. tax withholding will apply to accrued and unpaid OID to the extent that such OID qualifies for an exemption as described above under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders—Interest.” If the accrued and unpaid OID does not so qualify, United States withholding tax will apply in the manner described above under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders—Interest” upon redemption of a note, and in certain circumstances, upon a sale or exchange of a note.

Notes held (or treated as held) by an individual who is a Non-United States Holder at the time of his or her death will not be subject to United States federal estate tax, provided that the interest on such notes would be exempt as portfolio interest when received by the Non-United States Holder at the time of his or her death without regard to whether the Non-United States Holder has completed Form W-8BEN and further provided that income on the notes was not U.S. trade or business income.

We must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-United States Holder any interest (including OID) that is paid to the Non-United States Holder. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or other agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-United States Holder resides.

Treasury Regulations provide that the up to 30% backup withholding tax and certain information reporting will not apply to such payments of interest (including OID) with respect to which either the requisite certification, as described above, has been received or an exemption has otherwise been established; provided that neither we nor our payment agent has actual knowledge that the holder is a United States person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not in fact satisfied. Backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to payments of principal on the notes to a Non-United States Holder, if such Holder certifies as to its non-United States status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that we nor our paying agent has actual knowledge that such Holder is a United States person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of notes to or through the United States office of any broker, U.S. or foreign, will be subject to information reporting and possible backup withholding unless the owner certifies as to its non-U.S. status under penalty of perjury or

otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that the broker does not have actual knowledge that the Holder is a United States person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of notes to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding unless the non-U.S. broker has certain types of relationships with the United States (a “United States Related Person”).

In the case of the payment of proceeds from the disposition of notes to or through a non-United States office of a broker that is either a United States person or a United States Related Person, the Treasury Regulations require information reporting (but not backup withholding) on the payment unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is a Non-United States Holder and the broker has no knowledge to the contrary.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-United States Holder may be refunded or credited against the Non-United States Holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

In connection with the issuance of the Original Notes on December 24, 2002, URI entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the initial purchasers of the Original Notes. The initial purchasers were Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Fleet Securities, Inc. and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. Set forth below is a summary of certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We agreed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement that we would, subject to certain exceptions:

(1) within 90 days after the issue date of the Original Notes, file a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) with the SEC with respect to a registered offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange the Original Notes for new notes of URI (the “Exchange Notes”) having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Original Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and will have different registration rights);

(2) use our best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 150 days after the issue date of the Original Notes;

(3) as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the “Effectiveness Date”), offer the Exchange Notes in exchange for surrender of the Original Notes; and

(4) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the holders of the notes.

The Exchange Offer being made hereby is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement described in the preceding paragraph.

(1) applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect the Exchange Offer; or

(2) for any other reason we do not consummate the Exchange Offer within 180 days of the issue date of the Original Notes; or

(3) an initial purchaser of the Original Notes shall notify us following consummation of the Exchange Offer that notes held by it are not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer; or

(4) certain holders are prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by them in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus;

(1) use our best efforts to file a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering resales of the notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, on or prior to the 90th day after such filing obligation arises;

(2) use our best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the 150th calendar day after such filing obligation arises; provided, however, that if the obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement arises because the Exchange Offer has not been consummated within 180 days after the issue date of the Original Notes, then we will use our best efforts to file the Shelf Registration Statement on or prior to the 30th day after such filing obligation arises; and

(A) the time when the notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitations under clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144;

We will, in the event that a Shelf Registration Statement is filed, among other things, provide to each holder for whom such Shelf Registration Statement was filed copies of the prospectus which is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, notify each holder when the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be. A holder selling such Original Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement generally would be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification obligations).

If any of the following events occur (each such event a “Registration Default”), we will pay additional cash interest on the applicable Original Notes or Exchange Notes, subject to certain exceptions, from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured:

(1) we fail to file any of the registration statements required by the Registration Rights Agreement on or prior to the date specified for such filing;

(2) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness;

(3) the Exchange Offer is required to be consummated under the Registration Rights Agreement and is not consummated within 180 days after the issue date of the Original Notes;

(4) the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter, during the period for which we are required to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, it ceases to be effective or usable in connection with the resale of the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, covered by such registration statement for a period of 60 days, whether or not consecutive; or

(5) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter, during the period in which we are required to make this prospectus available for use by broker-dealers (as described under “Plan of Distribution”), it ceases to be effective (or we restrict the use of the prospectus included therein) for a period of 60 days, whether or not consecutive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Registration Default specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) of the preceding sentence that relates to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer shall be deemed cured at such time as the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

If a Registration Default exists, the interest rate on the Specified Notes (as defined below) will increase by 0.25% per annum, with respect to the first 90 day period (or portion thereof) while a Registration Default is continuing immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default. Such interest rate will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) while a Registration Default is continuing until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum rate of additional interest of 1.00% per annum. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest on the Specified Notes will terminate and the interest rate will revert to the original rate. The Indenture provides that additional interest as aforesaid will constitute liquidated damages and will be the exclusive monetary remedy available to holders of the notes in respect of any Registration Default.

“Specified Notes” means the Original Notes (and not the Exchange Notes); provided, however, that, if the Registration Default relates solely to a Shelf Registration Statement, then (i) if such Shelf Registration Statement is required to cover both Original Notes and Exchange Notes, “Specified Notes” shall mean both the Original

Notes and Exchange Notes and (ii) if such Shelf Registration Statement is required to cover only Exchange Notes, “Specified Notes” shall mean only the Exchange Notes; provided further, however, that, if the Registration Default relates to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that is unavailable for use during the period in which we are required to make this prospectus available for use by broker-dealers (as described under “Plan of Distribution”), “Specified Notes” shall mean the Exchange Notes.

All references in the Indenture, in any context, to any interest or other amount payable on or with respect to the notes shall be deemed to include any additional interest pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

URI will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, URI will receive in exchange Original Notes in like principal amount, which will be cancelled. As such, this Exchange Offer will not result in any increase or decrease in indebtedness of URI.

The tables below present selected financial information for our company (columns may not add due to rounding). You should read this information together with the information set forth in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes which are included in the financial statements of our company incorporated by reference herein.

The balance sheet data presented below as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the income statement data presented below for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, are derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of our company which are incorporated by reference herein. The other balance sheet and income statement data presented below are derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements of our company which are not incorporated by reference herein.

Certain of our acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and certain of them were accounted for as poolings-of-interests, including our September 1998 merger with U.S. Rentals, Inc. For further details on the accounting for these acquisitions, see Note 3 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of our company which are incorporated by reference herein.

The Exchange Notes offered hereby will be issued, and the Original Notes were issued, under an Indenture dated as of December 24, 2002 (the “Indenture”), among URI, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. References to the notes include both the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the Indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

The following summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and the notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the provisions of the Indenture and the notes, including the definitions of certain terms contained therein and those terms made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The definition of certain capitalized terms used in the following summary are set forth below under “—Certain Definitions.” All references to “we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company” in the following summary refer exclusively to URI, and not to any of its subsidiaries or Holdings.

The Exchange Notes will be issued solely in exchange for an equal principal amount of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Original Notes and both series of notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and treated as a single class of debt securities. The terms of the Exchange Notes will be the same in all material respects as the Original Notes except that (i) the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and therefore, will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof and (ii) certain of the registration rights, under the Registration Rights Agreement, relating to the Exchange Notes are different than those relating to the Original Notes. See “Registration Rights Agreement.”

If the Exchange Offer is consummated, holders of Original Notes who do not exchange their Original Notes for Exchange Notes will vote together with holders of the Exchange Notes for all relevant purposes under the Indenture. Accordingly, all references herein to specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes shall be deemed to mean, at any time after the Exchange Offer is consummated, such percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes then outstanding.

The Company issued the notes initially in an aggregate principal amount of $210 million. The notes were issued with original issue discount and generated gross proceeds of approximately $203.8 million. The notes will mature on April 15, 2008. Subject to our compliance with the covenant described under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness”, we are permitted to issue more notes under the Indenture (the “Additional Notes”). The notes and the Additional Notes, if any, will be treated as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 10.75% per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, to the holders of record of notes at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1, respectively, immediately preceding such interest payment date. The first interest payment with respect to the notes will be April 15, 2003. Interest on the notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from October 15, 2002. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year constituted of twelve 30-day months.

The notes are issued only in registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes will be payable, and the notes will be transferable, at the principal 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 notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

Initial settlement for the notes will be made in same day funds. The 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 notes will therefore settle in same day funds.

Optional Redemption. The notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2005, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning April 15 of the years indicated below:

In addition, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to April 15, 2004, we may, at our option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings (as defined below) to redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the principal amount of the notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any), at a redemption price equal to 110.75% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided, however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Public Equity Offering we shall send a redemption notice to the Trustee not later than 90 days after the consummation of any such Public Equity Offering.

As used in the preceding paragraph, “Public Equity Offering” means an underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Commission in accordance with the Securities Act, the net cash proceeds of which are contributed to the Company as common equity capital.

Selection and Notice. In the event that less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the notes are listed or, if the notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (subject to the rules of DTC); provided, however, that notes shall only be redeemable in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new 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 note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the redemption price.

The indebtedness evidenced by the notes and the guarantees thereof is unsecured and ranks pari passu in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may be.

As of December 31, 2002, the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and each Guarantor was approximately $1,545.3 million, including $891.5 million of secured indebtedness.

Virtually all of the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors consists of their respective guarantees of Senior Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement and with respect to the notes and the 10³/4% Notes. Secured debt and other secured obligations of the Company (including obligations with respect to the Credit Agreement) are effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt or other obligations.

The indebtedness evidenced by the notes and the guarantees thereof ranks senior in right of payment to the Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may be.

As of December 31, 2002, the Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor was approximately $967.5 million.

All of the Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantors consists of their respective guarantees of Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company with respect to the 9½% Notes, 8.80% Notes, 9¼% Notes and 9% Notes.

A substantial portion of our operations is conducted through our subsidiaries. Claims of creditors of such subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, including trade creditors and creditors holding indebtedness or guarantees issued by such subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders of such subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes. Accordingly, the notes are effectively subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders, if any, of our subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors.

At December 31, 2002, the total liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors were approximately $74.2 million, including trade payables. Although the Indenture limits the incurrence of Indebtedness and preferred stock of certain of our subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant qualifications. Moreover, the Indenture does not impose any limitation on the incurrence by such subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness under the Indenture. See “—Certain Covenants —Limitation on Indebtedness.”

Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, to each holder and the Trustee, the full and prompt performance of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the notes, including the payment of principal of and interest on the notes. Subject to limited exceptions, the Subsidiary Guarantors are the current and future United States subsidiaries of the Company.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor are 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 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—A guarantee could be voided if the guarantor fraudulently transferred the guarantee at the time it incurred the indebtedness, which could result in the noteholders being able to rely on only URI to satisfy claims.”

Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor 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, such right of contribution shall be suspended until the payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture.

(1) upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and as permitted by the Indenture;

(2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and as permitted by the Indenture;

(4) if the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, we shall be obligated to make an offer to purchase (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 occurrence of the Change of Control, all of the then outstanding notes tendered 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. We shall be required to purchase all 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, mail to each holder of notes notice of the Change of Control Offer, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall state, among other things, the procedures that holders of notes must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.

If a Change of Control Offer is made, there can be no assurance that we will have available funds sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price for all of the notes that might be delivered by holders of notes seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer. In addition, there can be no assurance that our debt instruments will permit such offer to be made. The Credit Agreement will prohibit us, subject to certain exceptions, from purchasing any notes prior to the repayment of all principal (including letter of credit disbursements), interest and fees, and the expiration or termination of all letters of credit and commitments, under the Credit Agreement. In order to make a Change of Control Offer at a time when we are prohibited from purchasing notes, we would be required to refinance the Credit Agreement or seek a waiver from the lenders thereunder, and the occurrence of a Change of Control is also an event of default under the Credit Agreement and would entitle the lenders to

accelerate all amounts owing thereunder. Failure to make a Change of Control Offer, even if prohibited by our debt instruments, also would constitute a default under the Indenture. Pursuant to the indentures governing the 10³/4% Notes, the 9½% Notes, the 8.80% Notes, the 9¼% Notes and the 9% Notes, we are also required to make an offer to repurchase the 10³/4% Notes, the 9½% Notes, the 8.80% Notes, the 9¼% Notes and the 9% Notes upon a Change of Control, and our failure to make such an offer is an event of default under those indentures. See “Risk Factors—We may be unable to repurchase the notes as required upon a change of control.” We shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

The Change of Control purchase feature of the notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of our company and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between us and the Initial Purchasers. We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. The Indenture will contain restrictions on our ability to incur additional Indebtedness, as described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness”, “—Limitation on Liens” and “—Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions.” Such restrictions can only be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture will not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. The definition of “Change of Control” excludes certain transactions by Permitted Holders, including a direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to Permitted Holders.

The use of the term “all or substantially all” in provisions of the 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 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 notes.

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, in the event that a Change of Control occurs and the Company is required to purchase notes as described above.

Future indebtedness that we may incur may contain prohibitions on the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require the repurchase of such indebtedness upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of their right to require us to repurchase the notes could cause a default under such indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on us.

Limitation on Indebtedness. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (in each case, to “incur”), for the payment of any Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted Indebtedness; provided, however, that (i) the Company and any

Subsidiary Guarantor will be permitted to incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and (ii) a Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to incur Acquired Indebtedness, if in each case the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company is at least 2:1, after giving pro forma effect to:

(1) the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, as if such Indebtedness were incurred at the beginning of the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such incurrence, taken as one period;

(2) the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid or retired at the beginning of such 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 such four-quarter period); and

(3) any Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition occurring since the first day of such four-quarter period (including to the date of calculation) as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 of its Restricted Subsidiaries or make any payment to the direct or indirect holders (in their capacities as such) of Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (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);

(b) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any options, warrants, or other rights to purchase any such Capital Stock (other than any such securities owned by the Company or a 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 any such Subordinated Indebtedness owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); or

(such payments or Investments described in the preceding clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) are collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, 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):

(B) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company would be able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness, (other than Permitted Indebtedness) (assuming a market rate of interest with respect to such additional Indebtedness); and

(C) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments declared or made from and after May 22, 1998 would not exceed the sum of:

(1) 50% of the aggregate Consolidated Net Income of the Company accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (treated as one accounting period) beginning on May 22, 1998 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company immediately preceding the date of such proposed

Restricted Payment (or, if such aggregate cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit);

(2) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company as capital contributions to the Company after May 22, 1998 and which constitute shareholders’ equity of the Company in accordance with GAAP;

(3) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company 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 May 22, 1998;

(4) 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 after May 22, 1998;

(5) the aggregate net cash proceeds received after May 22, 1998 by the Company from any person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) for debt securities that have been converted or exchanged into or for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) (to the extent such debt securities were originally sold for cash) plus the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company (other than from a Subsidiary of the Company) in connection with such conversion or exchange;

(6) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment after May 22, 1998, an amount equal to the lesser of the return of capital with respect to such Investment and the initial amount of such Investment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such Investment; and

(7) so long as the Designation thereof was treated as a Restricted Payment made after May 22, 1998, with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with “—Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries” below, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary, provided, however, that such amount shall not in any case exceed the Designation Amount with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary upon its Designation, minus the Designation Amount (measured as of the date of Designation) with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company which has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after May 22, 1998 in accordance with “—Limitations on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries” below.

For purposes of the preceding clause (C)(4), the value of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company upon the issuance of Capital Stock upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights will be the net cash proceeds received upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the incremental amount received by the Company upon the exercise thereof.

None of the foregoing provisions will prohibit, so long, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xi) below, as there is no Default or Event of Default 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;

(ii) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of any shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent issue and sale of other shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock of the Company) to any person (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company); provided, however, that such net cash proceeds are excluded from clause (C) of the first paragraph of this covenant;

(iii) any redemption, repurchase 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:

(1) Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock of the Company) of the Company to any person (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company); provided, however, that any such net cash proceeds are excluded from clause (C) of the first paragraph of this covenant; or

(2) Indebtedness of the Company so long as such Indebtedness is Subordinated Indebtedness which:

(x) has no scheduled principal payment prior to the 91st day after the Maturity Date;

(y) has an Average Life to Stated Maturity greater than the remaining Average Life to Stated Maturity of the notes; and

(z) is subordinated to the notes in the same manner and to the same extent as the Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, acquired or retired;

(ix) upon the occurrence of an Asset Sale and within 60 days after the completion of an Asset Sale Offer to repurchase the Notes pursuant to the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Disposition of Proceeds of Asset Sales” below (including the purchase of the notes tendered), any purchase or redemption of Subordinated Indebtedness or any Capital Stock of Holdings, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries required pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of such Asset Sale at a purchase or redemption price not to exceed 100% of the outstanding principal amount or liquidation amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest or dividends (if any); provided, however, that at the time of such purchase or redemption no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(3) the purchase price for Investments in other persons, provided, however, that promptly following such Investment either:

(x) such other person either becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged or consolidated with, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; or

(y) such Investment would otherwise be permitted under the Indenture if made by the Company and such Investment is contributed or transferred by Holdings to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; and

(4) reasonable and customary incidental expenses as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holdings;

(xi) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of any warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock of Holdings, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(xiii) the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its Capital Stock on a pro rata basis; and

(xiv) any Investment made in a Special Purpose Vehicle in connection with a Securitization Transaction, which Investment consists of the assets described in the definition of “Equipment Securitization Transaction” or “Receivables Securitization Transaction.”

Any payments made pursuant to clauses (i), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) of this paragraph shall be taken into account in calculating the amount of Restricted Payments made in accordance with this covenant.

Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any kind against or upon any of its property or assets, or any proceeds therefrom, unless the notes are equally and ratably secured (except that Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness shall be expressly subordinate to Liens securing the notes to the same extent such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinate to the notes), except for Permitted Liens. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the 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.

Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless:

(A) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on Indebtedness;” and

(B) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on Liens;”

(2) the net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such property; and

(3) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with the covenant described under “—Dispositions of Proceeds of Asset Sales.”

Notwithstanding clauses 1(B), 2 and 3 above, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into Sale/Leaseback Transactions with respect to rental fleet equipment.

Disposition of Proceeds of Asset Sales. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale unless:

(a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(b) at least 75% of such consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets (as defined below); provided, however, that the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the most recent balance sheet of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that are assumed by the transferee of such assets and any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 30 days into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) shall be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this provision; provided further, that the 75% limitation referred to in clause (b) will not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalent portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.

To the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not required to be applied to repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or are not so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, within 360 days of such Asset Sale, to an investment in properties and assets that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that are used or useful in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries conducted at such time or in businesses reasonably related thereto or in Capital Stock of a person, the principal portion of whose assets consist of such property or assets (collectively, “Replacement Assets”). Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are neither used to repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, Senior Indebtedness nor invested in Replacement Assets within such 360-day period constitute “Excess Proceeds” subject to disposition as provided below.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10 million, the Company shall make an offer to purchase (an “Asset Sale Offer”), from all holders of the notes, an aggregate principal amount of notes equal to such Excess Proceeds, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (the “Asset Sale Offer Price”). To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. The notes shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice is given to holders, or such later date as may be necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act. If the aggregate principal amount of notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer at any time when securities of the Company ranking pari passu in right of payment with the notes are outstanding and the terms of such securities provide that a similar offer must be made with respect to such other securities, then the Asset Sale Offer for the notes shall be made concurrently with such other offers and securities of each issue will be accepted on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of securities of each issue which

the holders thereof elect to have purchased. Any Asset Sale Offer will be made only to the extent permitted under, and subject to prior compliance with, the terms of agreements governing Senior Indebtedness. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

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 and regulations are applicable, in the event that an Asset Sale occurs and the Company is required to purchase notes as described above.

Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Preferred Stock other than Preferred Stock issued to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary. The Company will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Preferred Stock issued by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or permit a Restricted Subsidiary to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Preferred Stock issued by a Restricted Subsidiary, other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in such covenant will prohibit Preferred Stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) issued by a person prior to the time:

provided, however, that such Preferred Stock was not issued or incurred by such person in anticipation of a transaction contemplated by subclause (A), (B), or (C) above.

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, transfer, disposition, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (other than Restricted Subsidiaries), except:

(a) on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those which could have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time from persons who are not Affiliates of the Company;

(b) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or value equal to or greater than $2 million, the Company shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying that such transaction or transactions comply with the preceding clause (a); and

(c) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or value equal to or greater than $5 million, such transaction or transactions shall have been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this covenant shall not apply to:

(ii) customary directors’ fees, indemnification and similar arrangements, consulting fees, employee salaries, bonuses or employment agreements, compensation or employee benefit arrangements and incentive arrangements with any officer, director or employee of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(iii) any dividends, payments or investments made in compliance with “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” above;

(iv) loans and advances to officers, directors and employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for travel, entertainment, moving and other relocation expenses, in each case made in the ordinary course of business;

(v) the incurrence of intercompany Indebtedness which constitutes Permitted Indebtedness;

(vi) transactions pursuant to agreements in effect on the date of the Indenture;

(vii) the purchase of equipment for its Fair Market Value from Terex Corporation or its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business of each of Terex Corporation and the Company;

(viii) any sale, conveyance or other transfer of assets customarily transferred in a Securitization Transaction to a Special Purpose Vehicle;

(ix) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners, joint ventures, including their members or partners, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business, including pursuant to joint venture agreements, and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), materially no less favorable to the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated person or entity, in the good faith determination of the Company’s board of directors or our senior management, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; and

(x) transactions described in or permitted by clauses (vii) and (x) of the last paragraph under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments.”

Limitation on Dividends and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to:

(a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock or any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits;

(b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(d) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

(e) guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

(ii) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(iii) customary restrictions on transfers of property subject to a Lien permitted under the Indenture;

(v) any agreement or other instrument of a person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any person, or the properties or assets of any person, other than the person, or the property or assets of the person, so acquired;

(vi) an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of Capital Stock or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary or an agreement entered into for the sale of specified assets (in either case, so long as such encumbrance or restriction, by its terms, terminates on the earlier of the termination of such agreement or the consummation of such agreement and so long as such restriction applies only to the Capital Stock or assets to be sold);

(ix) the indentures governing the 10³/4% Notes, the 9½% Notes, the 8.80% Notes, the 9¼% Notes and the 9% Notes;

(x) joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that prohibit actions of the type described in clauses (a), (c), (d) and (e) above;

(xi) any agreement entered into with respect to a Special Purpose Vehicle in connection with a Securitization Transaction, containing customary restrictions required by the institutional sponsor or arranger of such Securitization Transaction in similar types of documents relating to the purchase of similar assets in connection with the financing thereof;

(xii) restrictions relating to Foreign Subsidiaries contained in Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (k) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness;” and

(xiii) any agreement that amends, extends, refinances, renews or replaces any agreement described in the foregoing clauses, provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such agreement are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the holders of the notes with respect to such dividend and payment restrictions than those under or pursuant to the agreement amended, extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced.

Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;

(ii) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment (other than a Permitted Investment, except a Permitted Investment covered by clause (xii) of the definition thereof) at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) pursuant to the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” above in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary on such date calculated in accordance with GAAP; and

(iii) the Company would be permitted under the Indenture to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on Indebtedness” at the time of such Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation).

In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to the covenant “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” for all purposes of the Indenture in the Designation Amount.

The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:

(x) provide credit support for or subject any of its property or assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to the satisfaction of, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(y) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(z) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary), except any non-recourse guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

All Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall automatically be deemed to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) if:

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation; and

(ii) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of the Indenture.

All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by Board Resolutions of the Company delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company will cause each United States Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to at the same time execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Indenture. This covenant shall not apply to any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that have been properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or as a Special Purpose Vehicle.

Reporting Requirements. For so long as the 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) by mail to all holders of notes, as their names and addresses appear in the note register, copies of such documents within 15 days after the Required Filing Date. In addition, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, the Company will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, and, to any beneficial holder of notes, if not obtainable from the SEC, information of the type that would be filed with the SEC pursuant to the foregoing provisions upon the request of any such holder.

The Company will not, 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 of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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:

(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 by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, under the notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, and in each case, the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect;

(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; and

(c) except in the case of any merger of the Company with any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or any merger of Subsidiary Guarantors (and, in each case, no other persons), the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, 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), could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) (assuming a market rate of interest with respect to such additional Indebtedness).

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 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 notes, the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company in the notes, the Indenture and/or in the Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may be and, except in the case of a lease, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be released and discharged from its obligations thereunder.

The Indenture provides that for all purposes of the Indenture and the notes (including the provision of this covenant and the covenants described in “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness,” “—Limitation on Restricted Payments,” and “—Limitation on Liens”), Subsidiaries of any surviving person shall, upon such transaction or series of related transactions, become Restricted Subsidiaries unless and until designated Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to and in accordance with “—Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries” and all Indebtedness, 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.

(i) default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, when due and payable, on any of the notes (at Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, required purchase or otherwise); or

(ii) default in the payment of an installment of interest on any of the notes, when due and payable, for 30 days; or

(iii) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company under the Indenture (other than a default in the performance or breach of a covenant or agreement which is specifically dealt with in clauses (i), (ii) or (iv)) and such default or breach shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice has been given, by certified mail:

(y) to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; or

(iv) (a) there shall be a default in the performance or breach of the provisions of “—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets, Etc.;”

(b) the Company shall have failed to make or consummate an Asset Sale Offer in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture described under “—Certain Covenants—Dispositions of Proceeds of Asset Sales;” or

(c) the Company shall have failed to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture described under “—Change of Control;”

(v) default or defaults under one or more agreements, instruments, mortgages, bonds, debentures or other evidences of Indebtedness under which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company then has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $15 million, individually or in the aggregate, and either:

(b) such default or defaults have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness; or

(vi) one or more judgments, orders or decrees of any court or regulatory or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction for the payment of money in excess of $15 million, either individually or in the aggregate, shall be entered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective properties and shall not be discharged and there shall have been a period of 60 days after the date on which any period for appeal has expired and during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, order or decree, shall not be in effect; or

(vii) the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises:

(A) for relief in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law;

(B) adjudging the Company or any Significant Subsidiary bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal, state or foreign law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of any of their properties, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of any of their affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(viii) the institution by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal, state or foreign law or any other case or proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in any involuntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal, state or foreign law or to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or the filing by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal, state or foreign law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the

appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of any of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action; or

(ix) any of the guarantees of the notes ceases to be in full force and effect or any of such guarantees is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any of such guarantees is found to be invalid or any of the Guarantors denies its liability under its guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture).

If an Event of Default (other than those covered by clause (vii) or (viii) above with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 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 notes due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (vii) or (viii) above with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the outstanding notes shall 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 notes.

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 notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration if:

(i) 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;

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

(iv) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by the notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration;

(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, premium, if any, and interest on the notes 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 notes may on behalf of the holders of all the notes waive any past defaults under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any note, 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 note outstanding.

No holder of any of the notes has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or any remedy thereunder, unless the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the notes and the 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 notes. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a note for the enforcement of the payment of

the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such note.

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 shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee under the Indenture 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 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 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 Indenture.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each holder of the 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, premium, if any, or interest on any notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the holders of such notes if its board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of its directors or trust officers 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 obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in such performance. The Company is 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 director, officer, employee or stockholder of Holdings or the Company, nor any director, officer or employee of any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the notes, the guarantees thereof or the Indenture based on or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The foregoing waiver and release are an integral part of the consideration for the issuance of the notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

The Company may, at its option and at any time, terminate the obligations of the Company with respect to the outstanding notes (“defeasance”) to the extent set forth below. Such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding notes, except for:

(i) the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payment in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such notes when such payments are due;

(ii) the Company’s obligations to issue temporary notes, register the transfer or exchange of any notes, replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and maintain an office or agency for payments in respect of the notes;

In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to terminate the obligations of the Company with respect to certain covenants that are set forth in the Indenture, some of which are described under

“—Change of Control” and “—Certain Covenants” above, and any subsequent failure to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the notes (“covenant defeasance”).

(i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in United States dollars, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the Indenture), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding notes to redemption or maturity (except lost, stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or paid);

(ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or 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 defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred (in the case of defeasance, such opinion must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax laws);

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a default under the Indenture caused by the incurrence of Indebtedness to make such deposit);

(iv) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest with respect to any securities of the Company;

(v) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound (other than a default under the Indenture caused by the incurrence of Indebtedness to make such deposit);

(vi) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(vii) the Company shall have delivered 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 notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others;

(viii) no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes on the date of such deposit or at any time ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit; and

(ix) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under the Indenture to either defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

The 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 notes, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all outstanding notes when:

(a) all the notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or repaid and 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 notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (except lost, stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or paid) have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year under arrangements acceptable to the Trustee, 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 notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes to the date of deposit 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 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 Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with.

From time to time, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, without the consent of the holders of any outstanding notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of notes. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected thereby:

(i) reduce the principal amount of, extend the fixed maturity of or alter the redemption provisions of, the notes;

(ii) change the currency in which any notes or any premium or the interest thereon is payable;

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

(iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the notes;

(vi) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or make and consummate the offer with respect to any Asset Sale or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(vii) reduce or change the rate or time for payment of interest on the notes; or

(viii) modify or change any provision of the Indenture affecting the ranking of the notes in a manner adverse to the holders of the notes.

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 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.

The Indenture and the notes are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

The Original Notes were issued, and the Exchange Notes will be intially issued, in the form of one or more global notes (the “Global Note”). The Global Note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. Except as set forth below, the Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to DTC or another nominee of DTC. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Global Note directly through DTC if you have an account with DTC or indirectly through organizations which have accounts with DTC.

DTC has advised the Company as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and “a clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of institutions that have accounts with DTC (“participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers (which may include the Initial Purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the “indirect participants”) that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, whether directly or indirectly.

The Company expects that pursuant to procedures established by DTC, upon the deposit of the Global Note with DTC, DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the principal amount of notes represented by such Global Note to the accounts of participants. The accounts to be credited shall be designated by the Initial Purchasers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Note will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants’ interests), the participants and the indirect participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note other than participants). The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the Global Note.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered holder and owner of the Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner and holder of any related notes evidenced by the Global Note for all purposes of such notes and the Indenture. Except as set forth below, as an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Note, you will not be entitled to have the notes represented by the Global Note registered in your name, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes and will not be considered to be the owner or holder of any notes under the Global Note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of the Global Note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

We will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on notes represented by the Global Note registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the Global Note.

We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Global Note will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants or indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note held through such participants or indirect participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants or indirect participants. We will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Global Note for any note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or indirect participants or the relationship between such participants or indirect participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note owning through such participants.

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Note among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Trustee nor the Company will have any responsibility or liability for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Subject to certain conditions, the notes represented by the Global Note are exchangeable for certificated notes in definitive form of like tenor in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof if:

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

(2) we in our discretion at any time determine not to have all the notes represented by the Global Note; or

(3) a default entitling the holders of the notes to accelerate the maturity thereof has occurred and is continuing.

Any note that is exchangeable as above is exchangeable for certificated notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, the Global Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Note of the same aggregate denomination to be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. In addition, such certificates will bear the legend referred to under “Transfer Restrictions” (unless we determine otherwise in accordance with applicable law), subject, with respect to such certificated notes, to the provisions of such legend.

Any broker-dealer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) that, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, receives Exchange Notes in exchange for Original Notes that were acquired by it for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, will be required to deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales by it of any such Exchange Notes. Each Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to acknowledge in the Letter of Transmittal that it will comply with such prospectus delivery requirement in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes. The Letter of Transmittal states that by making such acknowledgment a Participating Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Based on interpretations by the Staff of the Commission set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, the Company believes that this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may, if permitted by the Company, be used by Participating Broker-Dealers in order to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements applicable to Participating Broker-Dealers in connection with the resale of Exchange Notes as described above. The Company has agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement that it will use its best efforts to make this prospectus available to each Participating Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any resales of such Exchange Notes (subject to the limitations on the use of this prospectus under certain circumstances specified in the Registration Rights Agreement). The obligation of the Company to make this prospectus available as aforesaid will commence on the day that the Exchange Offer is consummated and continue in effect for a 90-day period (the “Broker Prospectus Period”); provided, however, that, if for any day during such period the Company restricts the use of such prospectus, the Broker Prospectus Period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis.

Any sale of Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers will be for their own account, and the Company will not receive any proceeds of such sales.

Participating Broker-Dealers may from time to time sell Exchange Notes that were received by them in the Exchange Offer in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or otherwise, and such sales may be made at the market price prevailing at the time of sale, a price related to such prevailing market price or a negotiated price. Such sales of Exchange Notes may be made directly to purchasers or, alternatively, may be offered from time to time through agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters, who may receive compensation in the form of concessions or commissions from the Participating Broker-Dealers or purchasers of the Exchange Notes (which compensation may be in excess of customary commissions). Any agents, brokers or dealers that participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes may be deemed to be underwriters and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of such Exchange Notes sold by them might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

During the Broker Prospectus Period, the Company will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any Participating Broker-Dealer that requests such documents (subject to the limitations on the use of this prospectus under certain circumstances specified in the Registration Rights Agreement). Any such requests should be directed to United Rentals (North America), Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, Five Greenwich Office Park, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, telephone: (203) 622-3131.

The Company has agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement to indemnify each Participating Broker-Dealer that resells Exchange Notes pursuant to this prospectus, and their officers, directors and controlling persons, against certain liabilities in connection with the offer and sale of the Exchange Notes, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The validity of the notes and the guarantees will be passed upon for us by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153, and Ehrenreich Eilenberg & Krause LLP, 11 East 44th Street, New York, New York 10017.

Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, have audited our consolidated financial statements and schedules included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as set forth in their report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement. Our financial statements and schedules are incorporated by reference in reliance on Ernst & Young LLP’s report, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

The Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) of the company provides that a director will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”), which concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware Law is subsequently amended to permit further limitation of the personal liability of directors, the liability of a director of the Company will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law as amended.

The Registrant, as a Delaware corporation, is empowered by Section 145 of the Delaware Law, subject to the procedures and limitation stated therein, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors and officers. In general, these agreements require the Company to indemnify each of such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other liabilities incurred in connection with any proceeding (including a derivative action) to which such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or guaranteed any obligations of the Company, provided that the right of an indemnitee to receive indemnification is subject to the following limitations: (i) an indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification unless he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful and (ii) in the case of a derivative action, an indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in the event that he is judged in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company due to willful misconduct in the performance of his duties to the Company (unless and only to the extent that the court determines that the indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification).

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Law, the Registrant has purchased insurance on behalf of its present and former directors and officers against any liability asserted against or incurred by them in such capacity or arising out of their status as such. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain members of its management in the form filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any

person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145, the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

D. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 20 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expense incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

E. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

F. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on May 7, 2003.
