FORM OF RELEASE

GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS

1.            [          ] (“Recipient”), for [herself/himself] and [her/his] family, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and their respective successors and assigns, in exchange for the consideration received pursuant to Section 1 of the Transaction Bonus Agreement to which this release is attached as Exhibit A (the “Bonus Agreement”), does hereby release and forever discharge General Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), its respective subsidiaries, affiliated companies, successors and assigns, and its and their current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents in such capacities (collectively with the Company, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, controversies, claims and demands whatsoever, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, whether known or unknown including, but not limited to, all claims under any the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201, et seq.; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 1981; the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601, et seq.; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e, et seq.; the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq.; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq.; [Maryland Title 20 Article 49B, and any other Maryland County laws;] and any other applicable federal, state, or local statute, regulation, ordinance, or legal requirement in connection with Recipient’s employment or termination thereof, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, wrongful discharge, intentional infliction of emotional distress, or defamation or injuries incurred on the job or incurred as a result of loss of employment. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Recipient is unaware of any wrongdoing on the part of the Released Parties including, without limitation, fraud, billing practices, and patient care issues. Recipient acknowledges that the Company encouraged Recipient to consult with an attorney of Recipient’s choosing, and through this General Release of Claims encourages Recipient to consult with Recipient’s attorney with respect to possible claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and that Recipient understands that the ADEA is a Federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefits and benefit plans. Without limiting the generality of the release provided above, Recipient expressly waives any and all claims under ADEA that Recipient may have as of the date hereof. Recipient further understands that by signing this General Release of Claims Recipient is in fact waiving, releasing and forever giving up any claim under the ADEA as well as all other laws within the scope of this paragraph 1 that may have existed on or prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 1 to the contrary, this General Release of Claims shall not apply to (i) any actions to enforce rights arising under, or any claim for benefits which may be due Recipient pursuant to, the Bonus Agreement, and (ii) any rights or claims that may arise as a result of events occurring after the date this General Release of Claims is executed.

[Recipient expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and in so doing understands and acknowledges the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542 that reads as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

Recipient expressly waives, relinquishes and forfeits all rights and benefits accorded by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, and furthermore waives any rights that Recipient might have to invoke such provisions now or in the future with respect to the released matters set forth above. Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the claims released by this General Release of Claims, Recipient expressly acknowledges that this General Release of Claims is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which Recipient does not know or suspect to exist in Recipient’s favor at the time of execution hereof arising out of or relating in any way to the subject matter of the actions referred to herein above and that this General Release of Claims contemplates the extinguishment of any such claims.]¹

2.            Recipient represents that Recipient has not filed against the Released Parties any complaints, charges, or lawsuits arising out of Recipient’s employment, or any other matter arising on or prior to the date of this General Release of Claims, and covenants and agrees that Recipient will never individually or with any person file, or commence the filing of, any charges, lawsuits, complaints or proceedings with any governmental agency, or against the Released Parties with respect to any of the matters released by Recipient pursuant to paragraph 1 hereof (a “Proceeding”); provided, however, Recipient shall not have relinquished his right to commence a Proceeding to challenge whether Recipient knowingly and voluntarily waived Recipient’s rights under ADEA.

3.            Recipient hereby acknowledges that the Company has informed Recipient that Recipient has up to twenty-one (21) days to sign this General Release of Claims and Recipient may knowingly and voluntarily waive that twenty-one (21) day period by signing this General Release of Claims earlier. Recipient also understands that Recipient shall have seven (7) days following the date on which Recipient signs this General Release of Claims within which to revoke it by providing a written notice of Recipient’s revocation to the Company.

4.            Recipient acknowledges that this General Release of Claims will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of [California][Maryland][Delaware] applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

¹ Note to Draft: To be included for California employees.

5.            Recipient acknowledges that Recipient has read this General Release of Claims, that Recipient has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney, and that Recipient understands all of its terms and executes it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance and the consequences thereof. In entering into this General Release of Claims, Recipient has not relied upon any representations or statements made by the Company which are not specifically set forth in this General Release of Claims.

6.            Recipient acknowledges that Recipient understands the terms and knows the effect of this Agreement and that Recipient signs the same as Recipient’s own free act and deed, aware of the final and binding effect of this General Release of Claims. Recipient specifically acknowledges that Recipient’s waiver of claims against the Released Parties is knowing and voluntary. Recipient further acknowledges that Recipient has consulted with Recipient’s attorney prior to executing this Agreement.

7.            This General Release of Claims shall take effect on the eighth (8^th) day following Recipient’s execution of this General Release of Claims unless Recipient’s written revocation is delivered to the Company within seven (7) days after such execution.
