Cautionary Note for Forward-Looking Information

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “plan”, “seek”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe” or “continue” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology.

Forward-looking statements include the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding, among other things: management forecasts; efficiencies; cost savings and opportunities to increase productivity and profitability; income and margins; liquidity; anticipated growth; economies of scale; the economy; future economic performance; our ability to maintain liquidity during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events; our business strategy; future acquisitions and dispositions; litigation; potential and contingent liabilities; management’s plans; taxes; and refinancing of existing debt.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are set forth below and disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,. ~~including,~~Factors ~~without~~that ~~limitation,~~could incause ~~conjunction~~actual ~~with~~results ~~the~~to ~~forward-looking statements~~differ ~~included~~materially infrom ~~this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral~~those ~~forward-looking~~projected ~~statements attributable to us~~include, orbut ~~persons~~are ~~acting~~not onlimited ~~our behalf~~to, ~~are expressly qualified in their entirety by~~ the following ~~cautionary statements~~:

• the effect of an economic downturn or other factors resulting in a decline in non-residential construction, non-construction maintenance, capital improvements and capital investment; • intense rental rate price pressure from competitors, some of whom are heavily indebted and may significantly reduce their prices to generate cash to meet debt covenants; from contractor customers some of whom are bidding contracts at cost or below to secure work for their remaining best employees; from industrial customers who generally are experiencing profitability shortfalls in the current economic climate and in return are asking all of their most significant suppliers for price reductions and cost reduction ideas; • the rental industry’s ability to continue to sell used equipment through both the retail and auction markets at prices sufficient to enable us to maintain orderly liquidation values that support our borrowing base to meet our minimum availability and to avoid ~~testing~~covenant ~~springing~~compliance ~~covenants~~requirements offor leverage and fixed charge coverage contained in our Senior ABL Revolving Facility ~~credit agreement~~; • our ability to comply with our debt covenants; • risks related to the credit markets’ willingness to continue to lend to borrowers rated B- and C; • our ability to generate cash and/or incur additional indebtedness to finance equipment purchases; • exposure to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of equipment rented or sold by us;

• our ability to generate cash and/or incur additional indebtedness to finance equipment purchases; • exposure to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of equipment rented or sold by us; • the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including those relating to employment legislation, the environment and customer privacy, among others; • fluctuations in fuel and, or supply costs; • heavy reliance on centralized information technology systems; • claims that the software products and information systems on which we rely infringe on the intellectual property rights of others; and • the other factors described in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors.”

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q might not prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of full year results. Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted as permitted under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations governing the preparation of interim financial reporting on Form 10-Q; as such, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill, and inventories; the allowance for doubtful accounts; deferred income taxes; environmental liabilities; reserves for claims; assets and obligations related to employee benefits; the fair value of derivative instruments and determination of share-based compensation amounts. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amended guidance on subsequent events. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The guidance was effective immediately and the Company has adopted this new guidance.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, the guidance requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, and expands disclosures related to activity associated with level 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosures, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, had no impact on the Company’s disclosures at ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Specifically, the guidance amends the existing criteria for separating consideration received in multiple-deliverable arrangements, eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The FASB guidance also establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on vendor-specific objective evidence; third-party evidence; or management estimates. Expanded disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will also be required. The new guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on and after January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect the application of this new standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(2) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair values due to the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair values of the Company’s ~~2014~~Second ~~Senior~~Lien ~~Unsecured~~Term ~~Notes~~Facility, ~~(the “~~2014 Notes”), 2017 ~~Senior Secured~~ Notes ~~(the “2017 Notes”)~~ and 2019 ~~Senior Unsecured Notes ( the “2019 Notes”) (collectively,~~ ~~the “~~Notes”) are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company’s ~~Second Lien Term Facility is also based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company’s~~ Senior ABL ~~Revolving~~ Revolving Facility is estimated based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of capital lease obligations approximates ~~the~~ the carrying value due to the fact that the underlying instruments include provision to adjust ~~interest~~ interest rates to approximate fair market value.

See Note 5 for additional fair market information related to debt instruments and Note 7 for additional fair value information about other financial instruments.

(4) Closed Location Charges

The Company regularly reviews the financial performance of its locations to identify those with operating margins that consistently fall below the Company’s performance standards. ~~Once~~The Company also reviews the financial performance of groups of locations to identify those that are underperforming relative to the Company’s standards. Once identified, the Company continues to monitor these locations or groups of locations to determine if operating performance can be improved or if the performance is attributable to economic factors unique to the particular ~~market~~ market with long-term prospects that are not favorable. If necessary, locations with unfavorable long-term prospects are closed and the rental fleet is deployed to more profitable locations with higher demand.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company closed ~~three~~six locations. During the ~~year~~ year ended December 31, 2009, the Company closed or consolidated 24 locations. The closed location reserves at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, consist of unpaid obligations for employee termination costs, costs to terminate operating leases prior to the end of their contractual lease term, estimated costs that will continue to be incurred under operating leases that have no future economic benefit to the Company, freight costs to transport fleet from closed locations to other locations and the write-off of leasehold improvements. Except in instances where a lease settlement agreement has been negotiated with a landlord, costs recognized to terminate operating leases before the end of their contractual term represent the estimated fair value of the liability at the cease-use date. The fair value of the liability is determined based on the present value of remaining lease rentals, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property even if the Company does not intend to enter into a sublease. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company reduced its closed location reserves by $0.3 million ~~due~~ due primarily to the execution of subleases containing favorable contractual terms relative to ~~those~~ those used to estimate the reserves. Although the Company does not expect to incur ~~additional~~ additional material charges for location closures occurring prior to ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, additional charges are possible to the extent that actual future settlements differ from our estimates. The Company cannot predict the extent of future location closures or the financial impact of such closings, if any.

Closed location charges (to be cash settled) by type and a reconciliation of the associated accrued liability were as follows (in 000s):

	Lease Exit and			Employee
	Other Related Costs			Termination Costs
	Other Related			Termination			Other Exit
	(a)			(b)			Other Exit Costs (c)			Total

(a) Lease exit and other related costs are included within cost of equipment rentals in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The lease exit portion of the closed location reserves at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 are expected to be paid over the remaining contractual term of the leases, which range from ~~three~~seven to 9390 months. (b) Employee termination costs primarily consist of severance payments and related benefits. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the adjustments to the reserve are included within cost of equipment rentals in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. (c) Other exit costs include costs incurred primarily to transport fleet from closed locations to other locations. These costs are included within cost of equipment rentals in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company also recognized $2.46 million of of other severance costs not directly associated with location closures. Of the additional ~~severance~~ severance expense recognized, $0.34 million is included within cost of equipment rentals and $2.1 2 million is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In September 2007, the Company entered into four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements covering a combined notional amount of debt totaling $700.0 million. In January 2008, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $250.0 million. The objective of the swaps is to effectively hedge the cash flow risk associated with portions of the Second Lien Term Facility and Senior ABL Revolving Facility, which have variable interest rates. See Note 6 for additional information.

(6) Derivative Instruments

RSC HOLDINGS III, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ (~~continued~~6) Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates under existing floating-rate debt. At the Company’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the debt under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility and the Second Lien Term Facility is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to an adjusted London interbank offered rate, or (~~Unaudited~~“LIBOR”), plus a borrowing margin; or an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin. In order to hedge exposure to market conditions, reduce the volatility of financing costs and achieve a desired balance between fixed-rate and floating-rate debt, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps under which it exchanges floating-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest payments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

~~borrowing~~ In ~~margin~~September 2007, the Company entered into four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements under which it exchanged benchmark floating-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest payments. InThe ~~order~~agreements were intended to hedge only the benchmark portion of interest ~~exposure~~associated with a portion of the Second Lien Term Facility. Interest on this debt is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to ~~market~~a ~~conditions~~benchmark interest rate, ~~reduce~~plus a borrowing margin, which was 3.5% for the ~~volatility~~LIBOR ofoption ~~financing~~at ~~costs~~September 30, ~~and~~2010. ~~achieve~~The agreements were designed to cover a ~~desired~~combined notional amount of debt totaling $700.0 million, of which $500.0 million was for a ~~balance~~five-year ~~between~~period with a weighted average fixed- interest rate of 4.66%, and ~~floating~~$200.0 million was for a three-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate ~~debt~~of 4.57%. The swaps were effective on October 5, 2007 and are settled on a quarterly basis. In October 2009, the Company ~~utilizes~~reduced the notional amount of one interest rate ~~swaps~~swap ~~under~~from $100.0 million to approximately $71.5 million thereby reducing the combined notional amount from $700.0 million to $671.5 million. In November 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate swap agreements under which it exchanged ~~exchanges~~fixed-rate interest payments for floating-rate interest payments (the “reverse swaps”). The reverse swaps cover a combined notional amount of debt totaling $192.1 million, of which $20.6 million is for ~~fixed~~a three-year period with a fixed interest rate of 1.51%, and $171.5 million is for a one-year period with a fixed interest ~~payments~~rate of 0.32%. The reverse swaps are intended to offset a portion of the fixed-rate payments the Company is making under swap agreements that were ~~does~~de-designated ~~not~~as ~~use~~cash ~~derivative~~flow ~~financial~~hedges ~~instruments~~in ~~for~~November 2009 ~~trading~~upon orthe ~~speculative~~Company ~~purposes~~prepaying $192.1 million of principal on the Second Lien Term Facility using proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes. The reverse swap with a notional amount of $171.5 million expired on October 5, 2010. Two of the original swaps with a combined notional amount of $171.5 million also expired on October 5, 2010. At September 30, 2010, the combined notional amount of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was $479.4 million, which was equal to the outstanding balance on the Second Lien Term Facility.

In September 2007, the Company entered into four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements under which it exchanged benchmark floating-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest payments. The agreements were intended to hedge only the benchmark portion of interest associated with a portion of the Second Lien Term Facility. Interest on this debt is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to a benchmark interest rate, plus a borrowing margin, which was 3.5% for the LIBOR option at June 30, 2010. The agreements were designed to cover a combined notional amount of debt totaling $700.0 million, of which $500.0 million is for a five-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.66%, and $200.0 million is for a three-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.57%. The swaps were effective on October 5, 2007 and are settled on a quarterly basis. In October 2009, the Company reduced the notional amount of one interest rate swap from $100.0 million to approximately $71.5 million thereby reducing the combined notional amount from $700.0 million to $671.5 million. In November 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate swap agreements under which it exchanged fixed-rate interest payments for floating-rate interest payments (the “reverse swaps”). The reverse swaps cover a combined notional amount of debt totaling $192.1 million, of which $20.6 million is for a three-year period with a fixed interest rate of 1.51%, and $171.5 million is for a one-year period with a fixed interest rate of 0.32%. The reverse swaps are intended to offset a portion of the fixed-rate payments the Company is making under swap agreements that were de-designated as cash flow hedges in November 2009 upon the Company prepaying $192.1 million of principal on the Second Lien Term Facility using proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes. At June 30, 2010, the combined notional amount of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was $479.4 million, which was equal to the outstanding balance on the Second Lien Term Facility.

The Company entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement in January 2008, under which it exchanged benchmark floating-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest payments. This swap was intended to hedge the benchmark portion of interest associated with a portion of the Senior ABL Revolving Facility. Interest on this debt was based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to a benchmark interest rate, plus a borrowing margin. This agreement covered a notional amount of debt totaling $250.0 million, for a two-year term at a fixed interest rate of 2.66%. The swap, which was settled on a quarterly basis, was effective on April 5, 2008 and expired on April 5, 2010.

The Company presents derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities depending on the rights or obligations under the contract. Derivatives are measured and reported in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. At ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps in a liability position totaled $39.21 million and $42.8 million, respectively, and are classified within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the fair value of ~~the~~ the Company’s interest rate swap in an asset position totaled $0.24 million, and is classified ~~within~~ within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company formally documents its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking each swap at the contract’s inception and assesses whether the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in achieving cash flows that offset changes in interest payments resulting from fluctuations in the benchmark rate. For each of the Company’s four interest rate swaps that were executed in September 2007 as well as the interest rate swap that was executed in January 2008, the Company determined at inception that the hedging relationships were expected to ~~be highly effective in mitigating the~~ exposure to variability in expected cash flows arising from the Company’s floating-rate debt. As a result, the Company initially concluded that the interest rate swaps were hedges of specified cash flows. An assessment of the effectiveness of derivative instruments designated as cash flows hedges is performed at inception and on an ongoing basis. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its remaining interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis using the perfectly effective hypothetical derivative method. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for the portion of the derivative instrument determined to be effective.

be highly effective in mitigating the exposure to variability in expected cash flows arising from the Company’s floating-rate debt. As a result, the Company initially concluded that the interest rate swaps were hedges of specified cash flows. An assessment of the effectiveness of derivative instruments designated as cash flows hedges is performed at inception and on an ongoing basis. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its remaining interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis using the perfectly effective hypothetical derivative method. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for the portion of the derivative instrument determined to be effective. Gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income are reclassified into earnings as interest income or expense in the periods during which the ~~hedged~~ hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as interest expense for the portion of the derivative instrument determined to be ineffective. The ineffective portion of the derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges totaled $95157,000 and $62,000 at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

When the Company’s derivative instruments are in a net liability position, the Company is exposed to its own credit risk. When the Company’s derivative instruments are in a net asset position, the Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its hedging derivatives. To manage credit risks, the Company carefully selects counterparties, conducts transactions with multiple counterparties which limits its exposure to any single counterparty and monitors the market position of the program and its relative market position with each counterparty.

The fair value of liabilities associated with the Company’s interest rate swaps and cumulative losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the effective portion of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments and recognized within accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) were as follows (in 000s):

(7) Fair Value

Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1 –— Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; • Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

• Assets ~~Level~~and 2liabilities –measured ~~Inputs,~~at ~~other~~fair ~~than~~value ~~the~~on ~~quoted~~a ~~prices~~recurring inbasis ~~active~~as ~~markets~~of September 30, ~~that~~ 2010 are ~~observable~~as ~~either~~follows ~~directly~~(in ~~or indirectly; and~~000s):

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets from interest rate derivatives (a)		203	—		203	—


(a)		The Company’s interest rate derivative instruments are not traded on a market exchange and therefore the fair values are determined using valuation models which include assumptions about interest rates and the Company’s and the counterparty’s credit risk based on those observed in the underlying markets (LIBOR swap rate).

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

(8) Income Tax

The benefit for income taxes was $133.25 million and $57.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The benefit for income taxes was due to a pre-tax net ~~loss~~ loss for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was 35.5% and 54.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate normally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to certain non-deductible permanent items, state income taxes and certain state minimum and gross receipts taxes, which are incurred regardless of whether the Company earns income. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 also includes a $2.7 million discrete income tax benefit relating to the true-up of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities from filing the Company’s 2008 federal, state and foreign tax returns.

The ~~effective~~benefit ~~tax~~for ~~rate~~income taxes was 37$39.3%8 million and 30$19.4%7 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The benefit for income taxes was $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The benefit for income taxes was due to a pre-tax net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The effective tax rate was 37.7% and 33.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to certain permanent items and state income taxes offset by the imposition of certain state minimum and gross receipts taxes, which are incurred regardless of whether the Company earns income. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the expiration of share

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company released $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits to reflect the inclusion of uncertain tax positions in the 2009 Federal tax return. The release of these unrecognized tax benefits had no impact on the benefit for income taxes recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Statements in this management’s discussion and analysis regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note for Forward-Looking Information” on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

The following discussion is intended to enhance the reader’s understanding of our business operations and present business environment. It should be read in conjunction with our 2009 Form 10-K, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A herein and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are one of the largest equipment rental providers in North America. We operate through a network of ~~459~~457 rental locations across ten regions in 40 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. We rent a broad selection of equipment ranging from large equipment such as backhoes, forklifts, air compressors, scissor lifts, aerial work platform booms and skid-steer loaders to smaller items such as pumps, generators, welders and electric hand tools. We also sell used equipment, parts, merchandise and supplies for customers’ maintenance, repair and operations.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and ~~June~~September 30, 2009, we generated approximately 8687.34% and 8286.81% of our revenues from equipment rentals, respectively, and we derived the remaining 1312.76% and 1713.29% of our revenues from sales of used equipment, merchandise and other related items, respectively. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and ~~June~~September 30, 2009, we generated approximately 85 86.84% and 8283.35% of our revenues from equipment rentals, respectively, and we derived the remaining 14 13.26% and 1716.75% of our revenues from sales of used equipment, merchandise and other related items, respectively.

The following table summarizes our total revenues, loss before benefit for income taxes and net loss for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and 2009 (in ~~millions~~000s):

We manage our operations through the application of a disciplined, yet highly flexible business model, in which we utilize various financial and operating metrics to measure our operating performance and make decisions on the acquisition and disposal of rental fleet and the allocation of resources to and among our locations. Key metrics that we regularly review on a consolidated basis include Adjusted EBITDA, fleet utilization, average fleet age and original equipment fleet cost. The following is a summary of these key operating metrics:

	Three Months Ended (or at)						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended (or at)
	June 30,						June 30,
	September 30,						September 30,

Original equipment fleet cost (in millions) (d)	$	2,~~337~~375		$	2,~~455~~394		$	2,~~337~~375		$	2,~~455~~394

(a) Defined as consolidated net loss before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including gain on extinguishment of debt, net, share-based compensation and other ~~expense~~ (income) expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP. See reconciliation between net loss and Adjusted EBITDA under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Adjusted EBITDA”. (b) Defined as the average aggregate dollar value of equipment rented by customers (based on original equipment fleet cost “OEC”) during the relevant period, divided by the average aggregate dollar value of all equipment owned (based on OEC) during the relevant period. (c) Defined as the number of months since an equipment unit was first placed in service, weighted by multiplying individual equipment ages by their respective original costs and dividing the sum of those individual calculations by the total original cost. Equipment refurbished by the original equipment manufacturer is considered new. (d) Defined as the original dollar value of rental equipment purchased from the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”). Fleet purchased from non-OEM sources is assigned a comparable OEC dollar value at the time of purchase.

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, ~~our~~ Adjusted EBITDA ~~decreased~~increased $1611.~~1 million~~5 million and decreased $5746.60 million, respectively, from $~~108~~107.03 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009 to $92118.08 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2010 and from $~~215~~322.68 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2009 to $~~158~~276.08 million infor the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

Business Environment and Outlook

Our revenues and operating results are driven in large part by activities in the industrial or non-construction markets and the non-residential construction market. On a combined basis we currently derive approximately 97% of our rental revenues from these two markets.

Non-residential construction markets generated approximately 3738% of our rental revenues during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. Industrial or non-construction markets generated ~~approximately~~ 60approximately 59% of our rental revenues during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. During 2009, we saw a continued weakening of demand in the non-residential construction market which resulted in a decrease in the demand for our rental equipment and downward pressure on our rental rates. These trends continued into the first quarter of 2010. Demand in the industrial or non-construction markets also weakened through 2009, however, not to the same extent as the non-residential construction market. Generally, industrial or non-construction markets are less exposed to cyclicality than the non-residential construction market. We responded to the economic slowdown by employing a number of financial and operational measures, which enabled us to right-size our business, generate positive cash flow and utilize any excess cash flow to repay outstanding amounts on our Senior ABL Revolving Facility.

During the second quarter of 2010 and continuing throughout the third quarter of 2010, market conditions began to show signs of improvement, which translated into strengthening demand for our rental equipment as fleet on rent increased approximately 3548% at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009. This compares to a decrease of approximately 6% at ~~June~~September 30, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008. In addition, fleet utilization for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010 was 6368.57%, an increase of ~~600~~980 basis points from 5758.59% for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2009. WeAlthough ~~expect~~rental ~~fleet~~rates ondeclined ~~rent~~7.7% ~~and~~in ~~utilization~~the tonine months ended September 30, 2010, the ~~continue~~year toover ~~build~~year rental rate decline in the third quarter of 2010 ~~resulting~~was in4.4%, ~~positive~~which represents a sequential improvement of 400 bps and 550 bps from the year- over- year ~~volume~~rental ~~growth~~rate declines of 8.4% and 9.9% in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. We expect year over year rental rates to be negative in the fourth quarter of 2010 but favorable compared to the 4.4% decline in the third quarter of 2010. We also expect fleet on rent and utilization to continue to compare favorably to the prior year during the fourth quarter of 2010 and while pricing remains challenging, year-over-year comparisons for rental revenues for the ~~third~~ fourth quarter of 2010 are expected to be favorable.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our revenues and operating results are driven in large part by activities in the industrial or non-construction markets and the non-residential construction market. These markets are cyclical with activity levels that tend to increase in line with growth in gross domestic product and decline during times of economic weakness; however, industrial or non-construction markets are historically less exposed to cyclicality than non-residential construction markets. In addition, activity in the construction market tends to be susceptible to seasonal fluctuations in certain parts of the country. This results in changes in demand for our rental equipment. The cyclicality and seasonality of the equipment rental industry result in variable demand and, therefore, our revenues and operating results may fluctuate from period to period.

Results of Operations

During the third quarter of 2010 we also purchased $118.7 million of new rental fleet. Our sales of used rental equipment in the third quarter of 2010 represent a normal part of the rental fleet life cycle.

Cost of equipment rentals, excluding depreciation, increased $810.67 million, or 67.47%, from $~~135~~138.47 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to $~~144~~149.04 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, due primarily to athe 411.48% increase in rental volume. ~~Cost~~Despite the increase in rental volume, cost of equipment rentals excluding depreciation, as a percentage of equipment rental revenues increased ~~from~~slightly 50to 51.02% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, ~~2009~~up ~~to 55~~0.41% ~~for~~from the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2010~~2009. ~~The~~This increase iswas ~~due~~ primarily attributable to ana 84.4% decrease in ~~equipment~~ rental rates ~~as well as increases in freight and fuel expenses of $2~~.~~4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.~~

Depreciation of rental equipment decreased $41.73 million, or 61.58%, from $7270.12 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to $6768.49 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The decrease in depreciation of rental equipment resulted from our actions throughout 2009 to reduce rental fleet in response to weakened demand. As a percent of equipment rental revenues, depreciation of rental equipment decreased from 2625.68% in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to 25to 23.96% in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This decrease was due primarily to an increase in fleet utilization during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Cost of merchandise sales increased $0.5 million, or 46.91%, from $98.48 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to $9.93 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, due in part to an a 2.1% increase in ~~the~~sales ~~average~~volume ~~cost~~and ~~per replacement part sold, which was driven by~~ a change in sales mix. Gross margin for merchandise sales decreased from 30.75% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to 2527.68% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 due primarily to margin declines on ~~nonstock~~ non-stock and parts sales.

Cost of used rental equipment sales decreased $155.65 million, or 3918.4%, from $3930.51 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to $2324.96 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The decrease is due to ~~the~~a ~~34.1%~~decline ~~decrease~~in the volume in sales of used rental equipment for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010. Gross margin for the sale of used rental equipment increased from 74.0% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to 1415.59% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The increase in ~~gross margin~~ was due to improvements in margins on used equipment sold through both retail and auction channels.

Depreciation and amortization of non-rental equipment and intangibles decreased $10.37 million, or 116.54%, from $1110.27 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to $910.90 million for the ~~three~~ three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a smaller fleet of capitalized leased vehicles during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009. To a lesser extent, the decrease was also due to a decrease in the net book value of leasehold improvements, which resulted from leasehold improvements that had reached the end of their useful lives ~~after June 30, 2009~~.

~~Interest~~Other ~~expense~~operating gains, net ~~increased $8.2 million, or 20.5%, from $40.0 million~~ for the three ~~months~~ ~~ended June 30, 2009 to $48.2 million for the three~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, ~~due~~includes ~~to higher interest rates under our 2017 Notes and 2019 Notes, which were issued in~~ the ~~second half of 2009,~~receipt ~~as compared to interest rates on our Second Lien Term Facility, which was partially repaid in 2009.

Gain on extinguishment of debt, net was $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and consists of a $16.2 million net gain from the pay-down of our Second Lien Term Facility offset by a $3.7 million loss from the extinguishment of our Senior ABL Term Loan. The $16.2 million net gain associated with the Second Lien Term Facility includes a $20.6 million gain, which represents the difference between carrying value of the Second Lien Term Facility and the repurchase price offset by $1.9 million of creditor and third party fees incurred to amend and pay-down the Second Lien Term Facility as well as $2.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs that were expensed. The $3.7 million loss from the extinguishment of our Senior ABL Term Loan includes $1.4 million of creditor fees to amend our ABL Facilities credit agreement and $2.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs that were expensed.

The benefit for income taxes was $3.5 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The benefit for income taxes was due to a pre-tax net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 was 35.5% and 54.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate normally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to certain non-deductible permanent items, state income taxes and certain state minimum and gross receipts taxes, which are incurred regardless of whether we earn income. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 also includes a $2.7 million discrete income tax benefit relating to the true-up of our deferred tax liabilities from filing our 2008 federal, state and foreign tax returns.

Throughout 2009, we continued our initiative to aggressively sell used equipment in response to a drop in rental demand that was greater than the normal seasonal decline. During ~~the first half of~~ 2010, we intentionally slowed our sales of certain types of used rental equipment to preserve fleet inwhile ~~anticipation~~experiencing of rising demand ~~in the second half of 2010~~. Increased demand for our rental equipment beginning in the second quarter of 2010 was evident by our fleet utilization, which increased ~~600~~ 980 basis points to 6368.57% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 from 5758.59% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 and increased ~~160~~440 basis points to 5962.24% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 from 5758.60% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we also purchased $265.7 million of new rental fleet. Our sales of used rental equipment in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were driven in part by our decision to divest and replace aging rental fleet.

The increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to a 97.37% decrease in equipment rental rates.

Depreciation and amortization of non-rental equipment and intangibles decreased $3.07 million, or 1311.10%, from $2333.07 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009 to $2030.0 million for the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a smaller fleet of capitalized leased vehicles during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 as compared to the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009. The decrease was also driven by a decrease in the net book value of leasehold improvements, which resulted from leasehold improvements that had reached the end of their useful lives ~~after June 30, 2009~~.

Other operating gains, net were $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and consisted primarily of proceeds received from our insurance carrier for rental equipment and property claims attributable to hurricane damage. This gain represents proceeds in excess of previously indemnified losses. Recoveries in excess of losses incurred are considered gain contingencies and are not recognized until they are received.

Interest expense, net increased $17.8 million, or 22.2%, from $80.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $98.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, due to higher interest rates under our 2017 Notes and 2019 Notes, which were issued in the second half of 2009, as compared to interest rates on our Second Lien Term

Gain on extinguishment of debt, net was $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and consists of a $16.2 million gain from the pay-down of our Second Lien Term Facility offset by a $3.7 million loss from the extinguishment of our Senior ABL Term Loan. The $16.2 million net gain associated with the Second Lien Term Facility includes a $20.6 million gain, which represents the difference between carrying value of the Second Lien Term Facility and the repurchase price offset by $1.9 million of creditor and third party fees incurred to amend and pay-down the Second Lien Term Facility as well as $2.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs that were expensed. The $3.7 million loss from the extinguishment of our Senior ABL Term Loan includes $1.4 million of creditor fees to amend our ABL Facilities credit agreement and $2.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs that were expensed.

The benefit for income taxes was $39.8 million and $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The benefit for income taxes was due to a pre-tax net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 37.5% and 39.0%, respectively. Our effective tax rate normally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to certain non-deductible permanent items, state income taxes and certain state minimum and gross receipts taxes, which are incurred regardless of whether we earn income. The effective tax rate for the 2009 nine month period also includes a $2.7 million discrete income tax benefit relating to the true-up of our deferred tax liabilities from filing our 2008 federal, state and foreign tax returns and an offsetting expense recognized during the second quarter of 2009 relating to the expiration of share appreciation rights granted by ACAB to certain employees of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Our primary source of capital is from cash generated by our rental operations including cash received from the sale of used rental equipment, and secondarily from borrowings available under our Senior ABL Revolving Facility. Our business is highly capital intensive, requiring significant investments in order to expand our rental fleet during periods of growth and smaller investments required to maintain and replace our rental fleet during times of weakening rental demand.

Cash flows from operating activities as well as the sale of used rental equipment enable us to fund our operations and service our debt obligations including the continued repayment of our Senior ABL Revolving Facility. We continuously monitor utilization of our rental fleet and if warranted we divest excess fleet, which generates additional cash flow. In addition, due to the condition and age of our fleet we have the ability to significantly reduce capital expenditures during difficult economic times, therefore allowing us to redirect this cash towards further debt reduction during these periods. The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Effect of foreign exchange rates on cash		485			238
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	6,494		$	(4,943	)

As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.0 million, an increase of $6.5 million from December 31, 2009. Generally, we manage our cash flow by using any excess cash, after considering our working capital and capital expenditure needs, to pay down the outstanding balance of our Senior ABL Revolving Facility.

Operating activities – Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of the add-back of non-cash items and other adjustments of $118.7 million and an increase in operating liabilities (net of operating assets) of $111.1 million offset by a net loss of $59.9 million. The most significant change in operating assets and liabilities was an increase in accounts payable of $122.9 million, which was primarily attributable to capital purchases made in the first half of 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted of the add-back of non-cash items and other adjustments of $155.4 million offset by a decrease in operating liabilities (net of operating assets) of $7.2 million and a net loss of $25.0 million. The most significant change in operating assets and liabilities

was a reduction in accounts receivable resulting in cash inflow of $73.2 million offset by the settlement of accounts payable resulting in a cash outflow of $67.3 million.

~~The~~Net ~~Senior~~cash ~~ABL~~used Revolving Facility and the Second Lien Term Facility contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict RSC’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; provide guarantees; engage in ~~mergers,~~financing ~~acquisitions~~activities orduring ~~dispositions; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; make dividends and other restricted payments; prepay other indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments; change~~ the ~~nature of~~nine ~~its~~months ~~business;~~ended ~~incur liens; with respect to RSC Holdings II~~September 30, ~~LLC,~~2009 ~~take actions other than those~~consists ~~enumerated;~~primarily ~~and~~of ~~amend specified debt agreements~~$277.2 million ~~The~~net ~~indentures~~payments ~~governing the Notes also contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit RSC’s ability to incur additional debt; pay dividends or distributions~~ on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock; make certain investments; create liens to secure debt; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; create limitations on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to their parents; merge or consolidate with another company; and transfer and sell assets.

~~Excess availability did not fall below $140.0 million and we were therefore not required to~~Indebtedness comply with the specified financial ratios and tests as of June 30, 2010. We do not expect excess availability to fall below $140.0 million during the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2010, our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.60 to 1.00 and the leverage ratio was 5.78 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the credit agreement.

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service requirements and from funding our costs of operations and capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2010, we had $2.1 billion of indebtedness outstanding, consisting primarily of $295.2 million under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility, $479.4 million under the Second Lien Term Facility, $620.0 million of 2014 Notes, $400.0 million of 2017 Notes and $200.0 million of 2019 Notes. The 2017 Notes and the 2019 Notes are presented net of unamortized original issue discounts of $9.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, we had an outstanding balance of $295.2 million on our Senior ABL Revolving Facility leaving $674.0 million available for future borrowings. The available borrowings of $674.0 million are net of outstanding letters of credit and the net fair value liability for our interest rate swap agreements before the adjustment for credit-risk. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we borrowed $104.0 million under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility and repaid $210.0 million.

Substantially all of our rental equipment and all our other assets are subject to liens under our Senior ABL Revolving Facility, our Second Lien Term Facility and our 2017 Notes and none of such assets are available to satisfy the general claims of our creditors.

The Senior ABL Revolving Facility and the Second Lien Term Facility contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict RSC’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; provide guarantees; engage in mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; make dividends and other restricted payments; prepay other indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments; change the nature of its business; incur liens; with respect to RSC Holdings II, LLC, take actions other than those enumerated; and amend specified debt agreements. The indentures governing the Notes also contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit RSC’s ability to incur additional debt; pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock; make certain investments; create liens to secure debt; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; create limitations on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to their parents; merge or consolidate with another company; and transfer and sell assets. In addition, under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility, upon excess availability falling below $100.0 million, we will become subject to more frequent borrowing base reporting requirements and upon the excess availability falling below (a) before the maturity date of the Non-Extending portion of the Senior ABL Revolving Facility (the “Non-Extending Maturity Date”) and the date of any increase in commitments under the Extending portion of the Senior ABL Revolving Facility (the “Commitment Increase Date”), $140.0 million, (b) after the Commitment Increase Date but before the Non-Extending Maturity Date, the greater of $140.0 million and 12.5% of the sum of the total commitments under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility on the Commitment Increase Date and (c) on or after the Non-Extending Maturity Date, 12.5% of the sum of the total commitments under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility on the Non-Extending Maturity Date, the borrowers will be required to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 and a maximum leverage ratio as of the last day of each quarter of 4.25 to 1.00.

As of September 30, 2010, our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.37 to 1.00 and the leverage ratio was 5.51 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the Senior ABL Revolving Facility. However, because excess availability was $674.0 million as of September 30, 2010 the covenant test did not apply. Had excess availability fallen below $140.0 million as of September 30, 2010 compliance with these financial ratios would have been required and we would have violated the maximum leverage ratio requirement, which would be an event of default. We do not expect excess availability to fall below $140.0 million at any time during the next twelve months and therefore do not expect that we will be required to comply with the specified ratios and tests during that time. If an event of default occurred, the Company would seek a waiver of the covenants and could incur upfront fees and increased interest costs. However, there can be no assurances that such a waiver could be obtained.

Outlook

We believe that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility, as amended, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations, net of capital expenditures, for the year ending December 31, 2010. From time to time, we evaluate various alternatives for the use of excess cash generated from our operations including paying down debt, funding acquisitions and repurchasing common stock or debt securities. Assuming certain payment conditions under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility ~~credit agreement~~ are satisfied, our Second Lien Term Facility limits our capacity to repurchase common stock or make optional payments on unsecured debt securities. This limitation at ~~June~~ September 30, 2010 was $116.8 million, when considering a total basket of $150.0 million, net of $33.2 million of usage. We are also limited to $50.0 million in cash dividends in 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA

As a supplement to the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we also present Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is generally consolidated net loss before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including gain on extinguishment of debt, net, share-based compensation and other ~~expense~~ (income) expense, net. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe the calculation is useful to investors in evaluating our ability to service debt and our financial performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, and when analyzing our performance, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net (loss) income or net cash provided by operating activities as defined under GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner and therefore our presentation may not be comparable to those presented by other companies.

The table below provides a reconciliation between net loss, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA:

Free Cash Flow

We also present free cash flow as a supplement to the financial statements. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities plus net capital inflows (expenditures). All companies do not calculate free cash flow in the same manner, and our presentation may not be comparable to those presented by other companies. We believe free cash flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital needs. However, free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net (loss) income or net cash provided by operating activities as defined under GAAP. Moreover, free cash flow does not represent remaining cash flows available for discretionary expenditures because the measure does not deduct payment required for debt maturities.

The table below reconciles free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results, however, may materially differ from our calculated estimates and this difference would be reported in our current operations. We have made no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Specifically, the guidance amends the existing criteria for separating consideration received in multiple-deliverable arrangements, eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on vendor-specific objective evidence; third-party evidence; or management estimates. Expanded disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will also be required. The new guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on and after January 1, 2011. We do not expect the application of this new standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Excluding the effect of our hedge agreements, we have a significant amount of debt under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility and the Second Lien Term Facility with variable rates of interest based generally on adjusted London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”), or an alternate interest rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin (or, in the case of Canadian dollar borrowings under the Senior ABL Revolving Facility, variable borrowing costs based generally on bankers’ acceptance discount rates, plus a stamping fee equal to an applicable margin, or on the Canadian prime rate, plus an applicable margin). Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt. We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of 1% in interest rates on our debt portfolio, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, our net interest expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010 would have increased by an estimated $12.43 million. Excluding the effect of our ~~hedge~~ hedge agreements, for the same period interest expense would have increased $4.6.8 million assuming a hypothetical increase of 1%.

We entered into four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements in September 2007 under which we exchanged our benchmark floating-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest payments. The agreements are intended to hedge only the benchmark portion of interest associated with a portion of the Second Lien Term Facility. Interest on this debt is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to a benchmark interest rate, plus a borrowing margin, which was 3.5% for the LIBOR option at September 30, 2010. The agreements cover a combined notional amount of debt totaling $700.0 million, of which $500.0 million is for a five-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.66% and $200.0 million is for a three-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.57%. The swaps became effective on October 5, 2007 and are settled on a quarterly basis. In connection with an October 2009 partial prepayment of outstanding principal on the Second Lien Term Facility, we reduced the notional amount of one of these interest rate swaps from $100.0 million to $71.5 million. In November 2009, we prepaid an additional $192.1 million of principal on the Second Lien Term Facility thereby reducing the outstanding balance to $479.4 million. As a result of this prepayment, $192.1 million of the notional amounts on our interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges as they no longer hedge the variability in expected future cash flows associated with the variable interest on the Second Lien Term Facility. In order to offset our

a borrowing margin, which was 3.5% for the LIBOR option at June 30, 2010. The agreements cover a combined notional amount of debt totaling $700.0 million, of which $500.0 million is for a five-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.66% and $200.0 million is for a three-year period with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.57%. The swaps became effective on October 5, 2007 and are settled on a quarterly basis. In connection with an October 2009 partial prepayment of outstanding principal on the Second Lien Term Facility, we reduced the notional amount of one of these interest rate swaps from $100.0 million to $71.5 million. In November 2009, we prepaid an additional $192.1 million of principal on the Second Lien Term Facility thereby reducing the outstanding balance to $479.4 million. As a result of this prepayment, $192.1 million of the notional amounts on our interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges as they no longer hedge the variability in expected future cash flows associated with the variable interest on the Second Lien Term Facility. In order to offset our exposure to the de-designated interest rate swaps, we ~~entered~~ entered into two ~~additional~~reverse interest rate swap agreements in November 2009 under which we exchanged a portion of our fixed-rate interest payments for floating-rate interest payments. These agreements cover a combined notional amount of debt totaling $192.1 million, of which $171.5 million is for a one-year period and $20.6 million is for a three-year period. The reverse swaps became effective October 5, 2009 and are settled on a quarterly basis. The reverse swap with a notional amount of $171.5 million expired on October 5, 2010. Two of the original swaps with a combined notional amount of $171.5 million also expired on October 5, 2010.

We entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement in January 2008, under which we exchanged our benchmark floating-rate interest payment for a fixed-rate interest payment. This agreement was intended to hedge the benchmark portion of interest associated with a portion of the Senior ABL Revolving Facility. Interest on this debt was based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to a benchmark interest rate, plus a borrowing margin. This agreement covered a notional amount of debt totaling $250.0 million, for a two-year term at a fixed interest rate of 2.66%. The swap, which was settled on a quarterly basis, was effective on April 5, 2008, and expired on April 5, 2010.

Considering the $479.4 million of the Second Lien Term Facility that was hedged as of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, 8081.19% of our $2,~~107~~060.78 million of debt at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 had fixed rate interest.

Currency Exchange Risk

The functional currency for our Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. In the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and ~~June~~September 30, 2009, 6.2% and 4.79%, respectively, of our revenues were ~~generated~~ generated by our Canadian operations. As a result, our future earnings could be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. Based upon the level of our Canadian operations during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, relative to our operations as a whole, a 10% increase in the value of the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar would have reduced net loss by approximately $0.15 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

An evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to determine whether any changes have occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2010~~ 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal ~~control~~ control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to legal proceedings and potential claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims related to employment matters, contractual disputes, personal injuries and property damage. In addition, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries.

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2009 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2009 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Oak Hill, Ripplewood, ACF and RSC Holdings are parties to an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated May 29, 2007, as amended further by Amendment No. 1 dated August 24, 2009 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), pursuant to which Oak Hill currently has the right to nominate four members of RSC Holdings’ Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2010, Oak Hill, Ripplewood and ACF collectively owned just over 50% of the outstanding shares of RSC Holdings’ common stock and together may exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval and its policies and affairs. Due to the Stockholders Agreement, Oak Hill has significant influence with respect to: (1) the election of RSC Holdings’ Board of Directors; (2) the approval or disapproval of any other matters requiring stockholder approval; and (3) the affairs, policies and direction of RSC Holdings’ business. The interests of RSC Holdings’ existing stockholders may conflict with the interests of other security holders. In addition, actual or possible sales, transfers or distributions of substantial amounts of the common stock of RSC Holdings by Oak Hill, Ripplewood or ACF, or the perception of the forgoing by investors, may cause the trading price of RSC Holdings’ common stock to decline and could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing in the future.

RSC Holdings has elected to be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements since RSC Holdings is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE Rules and, as a result, RSC Holdings’ stockholders do not have the protections afforded by these corporate governance requirements for so long as RSC Holdings’ election continues.

As a result of the ownership of RSC Holdings’ common stock by Oak Hill, Ripplewood and ACF, RSC Holdings is a “controlled company” for the purposes of the NYSE listing requirements, and therefore, RSC Holdings is eligible for, and has elected to take advantage of, exemptions from certain NYSE listing requirements that would otherwise require RSC Holdings’ board of directors to have a majority of independent directors and its compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees to be comprised entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, for so long as RSC Holdings remains a “controlled company” and elects to opt out of these provisions, RSC Holdings’ stockholders do not and will not have the same protection afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE governance requirements, and the ability of its independent directors to influence our business policies and affairs may be reduced.
