CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) of EquipmentShare.com Inc (“EquipmentShare” or the
“Company”) and the documents incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our expected future financial or operating
performance. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe,”
“expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “on-track,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend” or “anticipate,” or the
negative thereof or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations,
strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical experience or our present expectations.
Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
•The construction equipment rental industry is highly competitive, and competitive pressures could lead to a
decrease in our market share or in the prices that we can charge;
•Our dependence on relationships with certain suppliers to obtain equipment for our business;
•Our innovative capital-light fleet growth model (the “OWN Program”) subjects us to a number of risks,
many of which are beyond our control;
•Our suppliers of new equipment may appoint additional distributors, sell directly to our customers or
unilaterally terminate our distribution agreements with them, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our equipment sales due to a loss of such sales;
•Our ability to effectively manage our workforce and operations, which have grown substantially since our
inception, and we expect will continue to do so in the future;
•We may not be able to facilitate our growth strategy by identifying and opening attractive new branch
locations, which could limit our revenues and profitability;
•We may encounter substantial competition or other difficulties in our efforts to expand our operations;
•A decline in construction and industrial activities, a downturn in the economy in general or other
macroeconomic or environmental factors could lead to decreased demand for our equipment, depressed
equipment rental rates and lower equipment sales prices;
•Disruptions in our supply chain could result in adverse effects on our results of operations and financial
performance;
•Our ability to collect on contracts with customers;
•Conditions that adversely affect related parties with which we have entered into equipment sale and rental
arrangements;
•Our reliance upon communications networks and centralized information technology systems and the
concentration of our systems which creates or increases risks for us, such as the risk of the misuse or theft
of information, including personal information;
•Our cloud-based platform (“T3”) is highly technical, and any prolonged undetected errors could adversely
affect our business;
•Our reliance on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute our T3 platform and to provide the
software we use in certain of our products and offerings;
•The dependence of our business upon the interoperability of our T3 platform across devices, operating
systems, and third-party applications that we do not control;
•Trends in oil and natural gas prices, which could adversely affect the level of exploration, development and
production activity of certain of our customers and the demand for our services, and products;
•Risks related to heightened inflation, recessionary conditions, and financial and capital market disruptions
that may adversely impact business conditions, the availability of credit and access to capital;
•Fluctuations in fuel costs or reduced supplies of fuel, which could harm our business; and
•Our exposure to a variety of claims and losses arising from our operations, which our insurance may not
cover all or any portion of such claims.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other
cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q. If one or more events related to these or other risks or
uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially
from what we anticipate. Many of the important factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to

unanticipated events, except as required by law.
You should note that we may announce material information to our investors using our investor relations
website (https://ir.equipmentshare.com/), filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), press
releases, public conference calls and webcasts. We use these channels, as well as social media, to communicate with

1.BUSINESS
EquipmentShare.com Inc and subsidiaries (“EquipmentShare” or the “Company”) was organized in 2014 and
commenced operations on January 1, 2015. Effective June 30, 2025, EquipmentShare.com Inc changed its
jurisdiction of incorporation from the state of Delaware to the state of Texas.
The Company is a vertically integrated platform that combines proprietary technology, a connected equipment
fleet, and a nationwide footprint to serve the construction industry. More than a rental company, EquipmentShare
delivers jobsite visibility and control through its cloud-based platform (“T3”), which integrates embedded telematics
hardware, software applications, and real-time data to support both customers and internal operations. The T3
platform is original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”)-agnostic and gives the Company and its rental customers the
ability to track mixed fleets, maximize utilization, reduce unplanned downtime, streamline maintenance, and
improve jobsite security and operator accountability.
The Company utilizes its proprietary T3 platform in its equipment rental and service operations to manage
construction equipment that is owned by the Company, as well as construction equipment that is leased from third
party participants in the Company’s “OWN Program.” Under the OWN Program, participants may purchase from
the Company new or used (typically less than four years old) equipment which is fully enabled with T3.
Concurrently, the participant and the Company enter into a lease agreement whereby this qualified equipment is
placed on the Company’s T3 platform, to be rented to third party users. Rental revenue generated from equipment
enrolled under the OWN Program is divided and shared between the Company and the owner of the equipment, and
for the duration of the arrangement the Company manages the owner’s equipment utilizing the T3 platform. At the
end of the sharing period under the OWN Program, the Company may assist the owner with remarketing services if
the equipment is to be sold in the market as used construction equipment. The Company also offers several add-on
services to the owner of the equipment.
In addition to equipment rentals, the Company also offers complementary products and services, such as
equipment parts, supplies, services, and select jobsite support offerings. These products and services are integrated
with the T3 platform to support broader jobsite needs as part of the Company’s equipment rental and services
operations. The Company offers new and used equipment for sale to customers. Separately, the Company offers
telematics software as a service (“SaaS”) subscriptions, supported by embedded telematics hardware to customers
who use the digital tools to monitor fleet performance, manage maintenance, and oversee jobsite activity through a
single platform. The Company develops and enhances these tools and services with input from customers. The
Company also retails building materials and hardware supplies to customers.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 371 full-service branches, 9 dealership sites, and 27 building materials
and hardware retail stores located across 45 states in the U.S. The Company’s full-service, technology-enabled
model supports multiple customer touchpoints and allows it to operate a high-quality, diversified rental fleet. The
Company’s branch network also serves as an effective distribution channel for fleet disposition and supports related
activities including new and used equipment sales, parts, supplies and services. The Company is an authorized
dealer for JLG, Takeuchi, Skyjack, Genie, and other major brands of construction and aerial equipment, and offers
equipment rentals, parts, and services.
Initial Public Offering
On January 26, 2026, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 30.5 million shares of the
Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $24.50, resulting in gross proceeds of $747 million and net proceeds
of $706 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with the IPO, the Company
capitalized $14 million of equity issuance costs. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for
general corporate purposes.
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company’s certificate of formation, bylaws, and investors’
rights agreement were amended and restated, resulting in, among other things, all shares of the Company’s common
stock, including shares of common stock issued upon the automatic conversion of the Company’s preferred stock
(other than shares of perpetual preferred stock which remain outstanding) being reclassified into shares of Class A
common stock, and immediately thereafter all shares of Class A common stock then held by the Company’s Chief
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unaudited
Executive Officer or President (the “Founders”) were exchanged into an equivalent number of shares of Class B
common stock. Additionally, shares of Class A common stock will be issuable upon exercise or vesting of all
outstanding options and restricted stock units, as applicable, except that Class B shares will be issuable upon
exercise or vesting of options and restricted stock units held by the Founders and upon vesting of performance stock
units (“PSUs”) granted to the Founders (see IPO Founders Awards below).
Concurrent with the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were
automatically converted into 142 million shares of Class A common stock. Following the completion of the IPO, the
Company had 3,500 million of authorized shares of Class A common stock and approximately 215 million shares of
Class A common stock issued and outstanding, along with 200 million of authorized shares of Class B common
stock and approximately 38 million shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
Following the completion of the IPO, the Class B common stock (which is held by the Founders who have
agreed to vote together as a group) represented more than 80% of the total voting power of the outstanding common
stock and, as a result, the Company is considered to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq
corporate governance standards.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial
information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete
financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2026, and its results of operations, changes in perpetual preferred
stock and equity, and cash flows, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Interim results of operations
are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). The Company’s
significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes to those accounting
policies in the Company’s preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and
for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Use of estimates: Management used estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. As future events and
their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets: In July 2025, the FASB issued
ASU 2025-05, which provides optional guidance relating to the estimation of expected credit losses on current
accounts receivable and current contract assets. This guidance permits entities to apply a practical expedient when
estimating credit losses that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the
remaining life of the asset. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company began applying the practical expedient when
estimating credit losses on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued, Not Yet Adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which is
intended to improve the disclosures about a public entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more
detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unaudited
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or
made available for issuance. ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU
2025-06, which amends the guidance in ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The
amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the
previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Interim Reporting - Narrow Scope Improvements: In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, which
clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of ASC 270, Interim Reporting. The objective of the
amendment is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. ASU 2025-11 is effective
for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early
adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2025-11 on its interim
reporting requirements in the future.
Codification Improvements: In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, which updates U.S. GAAP for
a broad range of topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the codification, clarifications,
and other minor improvements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and
interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related

ABL Credit Facility
During 2021, the Company entered into an asset-based lending facility (the “ABL Facility”). On November 26,
2025, the Company refinanced existing borrowings under the ABL Facility by entering into a new senior secured
asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The ABL Credit Facility has a maturity date of
November 26, 2030. The ABL Credit Facility provides available “borrowing capacity” (the maximum borrowing
permitted, assuming there is sufficient collateral as identified under the ABL Credit Facility) up to $2.75 billion.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate (at the Company’s election) equal to either (i) the
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread between 112.5 to 137.5 basis points or (ii) the greatest of
(a) 0%, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 50 basis points, (c) the SOFR for a one month tenor in
effect on such day (to the extent ascertainable), plus 100 basis points, and (d) the Prime Rate plus (y) a spread
between 12.5 basis points and 37.5 basis points. In connection with the refinancing, the Company expensed $8
million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs relating to certain lenders under the ABL Facility who exited
the syndicate, and included in loss on debt extinguishment on the consolidated statements of net income.
Additionally, in connection with the refinancing, the Company capitalized $9 million of debt issuance costs.
The ABL Credit Facility contains negative covenants that permit, subject to certain defined conditions, the
Company to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness or engage in certain other types of financing
transactions, (ii) allow certain liens to attach to assets, (iii) repurchase, or pay dividends, or make certain other
restricted payments on, capital stock and certain other securities, subject to applicable caps, (iv) prepay certain
indebtedness and (v) make certain acquisitions and investments. Under the ABL Credit Facility, there is one
financial covenant that will only apply in the future if excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls below
the greater of 10 percent of the maximum borrowing amount under the ABL Credit Facility or $175 million. As of
March 31, 2026, availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeded this threshold and, as a result, the financial
covenant was not applicable.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $999 million outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility bearing
interest at the SOFR of 4.80%, included in long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Unaudited
The ABL Credit Facility provides available “borrowing capacity” (the maximum borrowing permitted,
assuming there is sufficient collateral as identified under the ABL Facility) and “net excess availability” (the amount
of additional debt the Company could borrow based on the existing borrowing base). As of March 31, 2026, the
Company had a borrowing base, as defined in the ABL Credit Facility, of $2,280 million. After outstanding
borrowings and letters of credit, the net excess availability at March 31, 2026, as defined in the ABL Credit Facility,
was $1,276 million, of which the Company could borrow up to $1,048 million without any additional repayment
conditions.
Other
Certain note agreements between the Company and various institutions contain restrictions and financial
covenants, including maintaining an adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 and a net funded debt to
adjusted EBITDA ratio of 6.00 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with those
restrictions and financial covenants.
As of March 31, 2026 the Company had $6 million of letters of credit outstanding with financial institutions
secured by line of credit availability. The letters of credit automatically renew annually unless the Company gives
notice to the financial institution to terminate the letter of credit.

11.COMMON STOCK AND EQUITY PLANS
Initial Public Offering
Concurrent with the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were
automatically converted into 142 million shares of Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had
3,500 million authorized shares of Class A common stock and approximately 215 million shares of Class A common
stock issued and outstanding, along with 200 million authorized shares of Class B common stock and approximately
38 million shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted the EquipmentShare.com 2025 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the “ESPP”). The maximum number of shares initially available for issuance under the ESPP is 2,316,263
shares of common stock and will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year for a period of up to 10 years
following the effective date of the ESPP in an amount equal to the least of (i) 12,000,000 shares; (ii) 1% of the total
number of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock outstanding as of the last completed fiscal
year; and (iii) such number of shares as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its
discretion. The number of shares available at any time under the ESPP is subject to adjustment in the event of a
dividend or other distribution (other than an ordinary dividend or distribution), recapitalization, stock split, reverse
stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares
or other securities of the Company, or other change in the Company’s structure affecting the shares occurs. The
number of shares which a participant may purchase in an offering under the ESPP may be reduced if the offering is
over-subscribed. The Company did not grant any shares of common stock pursuant to the ESPP during the three
months ended March 31, 2026.
2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In connection with the IPO, the Company also adopted the EquipmentShare.com Inc 2025 Omnibus Incentive
Plan (the “2025 Plan”). Awards under the 2025 Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards
(collectively, the “Awards”). The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially authorized for
issuance under the 2025 Plan is 40,370,162 shares of common stock and this amount will be increased on January 1
of each year following the effective date of the 2025 Plan for a period of 10 years in an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) 1% of outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares
as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion. The Awards granted pursuant to
the 2025 Plan will be issued with respect to shares of Class A common stock of the Company, other than the IPO
Founders Awards. As of March 31, 2026, there were no options issued and outstanding under the 2025 Plan.
IPO Founders Awards
In connection with the IPO, the Board approved grants of PSUs to each of the Founders under the 2025 Plan
that could result in the issuance, to each of the Founders, of as few as zero shares of the Company’s Class B
common stock and up to 18,321,644 shares of Class B common stock. Each of the IPO Founders Awards was
granted on January 26, 2026 (the “Grant Date”) and is comprised of five tranches of PSUs as set forth in the table
below, the vesting of which are subject to service conditions and market conditions, including the Company
achieving specified stock price hurdles, as set forth in the table below and subject to anti-dilution adjustments,
during the performance period beginning on the first day following the expiration of the lock-up period set forth in
the Company’s agreement with its underwriters in connection with the IPO (or, with respect to tranche 1, beginning
on January 27, 2026) and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, (ii) a change
in control (as defined in the 2025 Plan) or (iii) the date on which the shares of the Company’s Class A common
stock are no longer traded on a securities exchange or market. Achievement of the applicable stock price hurdle for
any PSU tranche will occur on the date that the average closing price per share of the Company’s Class A common
stock during any 60 consecutive trading days during the performance period equaled or exceeded the applicable
stock price hurdle for such tranche, except that achievement of the stock price hurdle for tranche 1 occurred on
January 27, 2026, the date that the closing price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock during the
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

performance period equaled or exceeded the stock price hurdle for such tranche. Any PSUs for which the applicable
stock price hurdle is not achieved prior to the end of the performance period will be forfeited in their entirety.

The fair value of the IPO Founders Awards was estimated as of the Grant Date using Monte Carlo simulations
with the following assumptions:
| |
Expected dividend yield ............................................................................................. | |
Expected volatility ..................................................................................................... | |
Risk-free interest rate ................................................................................................. | |
Requisite Service Period (years) - Tranche 1 ............................................................ | |

Requisite Service Period (years) - Tranche 3 ............................................................ | |
Requisite Service Period (years) - Tranche 4 ............................................................ | |
Requisite Service Period (years) - Tranche 5 ............................................................ | |
The Company historically has not paid dividends on common stock and has no plans to issue dividends in the
foreseeable future. The expected volatility assumption used to estimate the Grant Date fair value of each tranche of
the award was based on the average historical volatility of comparable entities with publicly traded shares. The risk-
free rate for the requisite service period for each tranche was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the Grant
Date.
The Grant Date fair value of the IPO Founders Awards was $624 million. Stock-based compensation expense of
$17 million was recorded for the IPO Founders Awards during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and is
included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As
of March 31, 2026, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense yet to be recognized over the vesting period
was $73 million in 2026, $98 million in 2027, $98 million in 2028, $98 million in 2029, $52 million in 2030, and
$189 million thereafter. The weighted average remaining life was 7.5 years as of March 31, 2026.
2016 Equity Incentive Plan
During 2016, the Company created the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which allows for the issuance
of options to purchase shares of EquipmentShare common stock. The employees eligible to participate in the plan
are determined by the plan’s committee. Options are issued with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the
Company’s common stock and with vesting conditions as determined by the plan’s committee. Option awards with
time-based vesting conditions generally range from 12 to 48 months. Option awards with service, performance, and/
or market conditions, as defined, vest when those milestones are achieved (the “milestone-based awards”). Options
are generally forfeited upon termination or when performance or market conditions are not met, and forfeitures are
accounted for as they occur.
Stock Options
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has a total of 22,525,256 options authorized. There were 9,723,781 options
issued and outstanding 5,474,473 options were exercised or cancelled and not returned to the pool as of March 31,
2026, and 7,327,002 options available for issuance transferred to the 2025 Plan.
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unaudited
Stock-based compensation expense of $1 million and $1 million was recorded for vested time-based options
during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, the
unrecognized stock-based compensation expense yet to be recognized over the vesting period was $6 million. The
weighted average remaining life of the outstanding stock options was 1.6 years as of March 31, 2026.
No milestone-based awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. No stock
compensation expense for milestone-based option awards was recognized during 2025 or 2026. The Company had
320,000 unvested milestone-based option awards granted in 2022 outstanding as of March 31, 2026. If the 2022
award milestones, as defined, are not achieved by January 31, 2032, then these unvested options will be forfeited.
The Company has not recognized stock compensation expense for these unvested stock options granted during 2022
as of March 31, 2026 because, for accounting measurement purposes, it is not highly probable that the performance
conditions will be achieved. The estimated unrecognized stock-based compensation expense to be recognized if and
when the performance conditions are considered highly probable of being achieved could be up to $0.4 million for
the 2022 awards as of March 31, 2026. The average remaining life of the outstanding milestone-based stock option
awards was 5.8 years for the 2022 awards as of March 31, 2026.
RSUs
The Company issued performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2016 Plan with two-tiered
vesting conditions which include a service requirement and a liquidity event requirement. The service condition of
the RSUs will be met provided the participant is in continuous service over the defined period of time generally 12
to 48 months. The liquidity event requirement was satisfied on the effective date of the IPO. RSUs shall be settled
no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which each vesting event occurs. Upon
the consummation of the IPO, the performance-based vesting conditions for outstanding RSUs was satisfied. As a
result, the RSUs that had satisfied the service-based condition date had vested. For the three months ended March
31, 2026, the Company recognized $2 million of stock-based compensation expense attributable to RSUs. No stock-
based compensation expense attributable to RSUs was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as the
performance-based vesting condition had not been satisfied at that time. As of March 31, 2026, the unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense yet to be recognized over the vesting period was $3 million. The weighted
average remaining life of the outstanding RSUs was 1.2 years as of March 31, 2026.

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, equipment sales to OWN Program participants were $102 million and $95 million,
respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, equipment sales to contractors and other end users were $77 million and
$50 million, respectively.
The Company's Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment revenue (see Note 18) is comprised of
equipment rental and related services and equipment parts, supplies, and services revenue presented in the table
above.
The disaggregation of the Company's revenue from contracts to customers as reflected above, coupled with the
reportable segment disclosures (see Note 18), depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the
Company's revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Equipment rental sublease income was $351 million and $245 million for the three months ended March 31,
2026 and 2025, respectively.
Revenue for lease arrangements with customers (Topic 842)
Equipment rental revenue: The Company is in the business of renting equipment that is owned by the Company
or rented from vendors, contractors, and others and then re-rented to the Company’s third-party customers. Such
arrangements are accounted for as operating leases with the Company as a lessor and governed by the standard
rental contract.
As a lessor of rental equipment to customers, revenue is recognized in the period earned on a straight-line basis
over the contract term, regardless of timing of billing to customers. A rental contract term can be daily, weekly, or
monthly (28 days), and is billed when the monthly rental charge is achieved, or at the completion of the rental
contract, whichever is sooner. From time to time, the Company provides an option for the lessee to purchase the
rented equipment at the end of the lease, however, the Company does not generate material revenue from sales of
equipment under such rental purchase option arrangements.
Equipment rental revenue includes revenue generated by the Company, as a sublessor, from equipment that is
owned by others who are participants in the Company’s OWN Program. Under the OWN Program, the owner’s
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unaudited
equipment is fully enabled with the Company’s T3 telematics and placed on the Company’s platform to be rented.
Rental revenue generated while the equipment is rented to the Company’s customers is shared between the
Company and the owner of the equipment. The Company may also provide other services under the OWN Program,
such as maintenance, insurance, and remarketing services. Rental revenue generated from the OWN Program is
divided between the Company and the owner of the equipment, and for the duration of the arrangement the
Company manages the owner’s equipment utilizing the T3 operating system.
Ancillary and other equipment rental revenues: Delivery fees charged are variable, based on the type of
equipment being delivered, the requested delivery time, the distance of the delivery and other relevant
considerations. Delivery occurs before the rental period begins and, therefore, delivery fees charged are recognized
over the monthly rental period.
Other equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of (i) revenue generated from customers who purchase
rental insurance coverage to protect against potential damages or loss to the equipment rented and (ii) environmental
fees assessed on the rental asset. Rental insurance coverage revenue is recognized as revenue in the period earned on
a straight-line basis over the contract term, regardless of timing of billing to customers. Environmental fee revenue
is recognized in the period earned on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
Revenues from contracts with customers (Topic 606)
Pick-up services: Pick-up services are at the customer’s option after the lease has terminated, and control of the
asset no longer resides with the lessee. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from pick-up services at the
point in time when the pick-up service has been provided, regardless of timing of billing to customers.
Fuel recovery fees: Similar to pick-up services, fuel recovery charges are at the customer’s option after the lease
has terminated, and control of the asset no longer resides with the lessee. Accordingly, fuel recovery fees, which are
included in other equipment rental, are recognized at the point in time when the customer elects the service and the
service has been provided by the Company.
Equipment sales (new and used) and equipment parts and supplies sales: The Company recognizes revenue on
sales of new equipment and used equipment, as well as revenue on sales of parts and supplies, at the point in time
when it has a contract in place and satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control of the product or
service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be
entitled to in exchange for such products or services. The Company recognizes revenue on sales of new equipment,
used equipment, and parts and supplies when control has transferred to the customer, which is typically when the
asset is picked up, delivered to the customer, or when significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the
customer. In certain cases, the Company acts as the agent for the sale of new equipment, resulting in the new
equipment sales revenue being presented net of new equipment cost of revenues in the equipment sales revenue on
the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Otherwise, the Company presents new and used
equipment sales on a gross basis within equipment sales revenue and the related equipment sales cost of revenues on
the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As described above, the Company sells
equipment assets to other parties and may allow the purchaser of the equipment to place the equipment asset in the
OWN Program to be rented to the Company’s customers. Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers and
remitted to government authorities are accounted for on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
Service revenue: Service revenue is primarily comprised of (i) warranty services and (ii) maintenance services
and other miscellaneous services. Warranty services revenue represents compensation for the service work the
Company has performed on behalf of the OEM in order to fulfill the warranty extended by the OEM to the
customer. Warranty revenue and the related receivable are short-term in nature and revenue is recognized at the
point in time when the repair service has been provided by the Company. The Company acts as the principal in these
transactions and, therefore, warranty revenue earned and warranty expense incurred are presented on a gross basis
within revenues and cost of revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Maintenance services and other miscellaneous services revenue represents compensation for maintenance work the
Company has performed for customers and is recognized at the point in time when the services are performed, or
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Unaudited
under certain OWN Program arrangements, the Company has a stand-ready performance obligation to provide
maintenance services and revenue is recognized over the contract service period.
Telematics revenue: Telematics revenue includes (i) the sale of subscriptions to the Company’s telematics
services, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period corresponding to the telematics subscriptions
that are sold separately to customers; (ii) as an allocation of the transaction consideration from equipment rentals for
the non-lease component of the rental arrangements, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over time based on
the monthly period for equipment rentals; or (iii) the sale of custom electronic components, including telematics
tracker devices and cloud-based access control keypads.
Other: Other platform revenue includes sales of building materials and hardware supplies, which are recognized
at a point in time when the products are purchased and picked up by the customer from one of the Company’s store
locations.
Contract assets and liabilities
The Company does not have material contract assets or material contract liabilities associated with contracts
with customers. The Company’s contracts with customers do not result in material amounts billed to customers in
excess of recognizable revenue. The Company did not recognize material revenues during the three months ended
March 31, 2026 or 2025 that were contract liabilities at the beginning of such periods.
13.INCOME TAXES
The benefit for income taxes was $32 million and $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025, respectively. Although the Company incurred a loss in the current interim period, it anticipates generating
taxable income for the full fiscal year. Accordingly, the estimated annual effective tax rate reflects the expected full-
year income and related expense. Differences between applicable federal and state statutory tax rates and the
effective income tax rates for the income tax benefit recorded by the Company are primarily due to nondeductible
expenses and the Texas franchise tax, offset by research and development tax credits.
14.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Investee
The Company has a 50.1% ownership interest in 10G, a joint venture arrangement accounted for under the
equity method. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized revenue from sales to 10G of
$8 million, which is included in telematics platform revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of
operations. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had amounts due from 10G of $4 million and
$2 million, respectively, which are included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets,
and amounts owed to 10G of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable on
the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company holds a 26.95% noncontrolling interest in Powers Group, Inc. (“Powers”), a third-party insurance
agency that provides customers with a range of personal and business insurance policies and related services. The
Company purchases insurance coverage through a wholly owned subsidiary of Powers, acting as an agent. For the
three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company purchased insurance policies through this equity
method investee and recognized $3 million and $2 million of insurance expense in selling, general and
administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. At March 31, 2026
and December 31, 2025, the Company had $3 million and $2 million of prepaid insurance related to these policies,
respectively, which are included in prepaid costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company purchased telematics tracker devices from an equity method investee totaling approximately $4
million for the three months ended and March 31, 2025. Design and development services paid to the same equity
method investee were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and included in selling, general and
administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

instruments.
The fair values of long-term debt, excluding the Company’s Notes, approximate their book values as of
March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s Notes which are categorized in
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, is estimated based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active
markets and approximated $2,212 million and $2,237 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,
respectively.
Investments in equity securities in which the Company does not have significant influence of $29 million and
$29 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are carried at cost under the measurement
alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. Investments in equity securities
in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, of $31 million and $30 million as of March 31,
2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are carried under the equity method. These amounts are reported as
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognized $1 million and $0.4 million of realized and unrealized gains on short-term
investments and investments in non-consolidated affiliates during the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
respectively, which are included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognized $2 million and $2 million of interest income from interest bearing cash and money
market accounts during the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are included in other income,
net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
16.ACQUISITIONS
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method as defined in FASB ASC
Topic 805, Business Combinations. Management uses its best estimates and assumptions to value the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Such estimates are inherently uncertain and may be subject to
refinement. As a result, during the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company
may record adjustments to the acquisition accounting, to the extent new information becomes available.
Building Materials and Hardware Retail Stores
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered
into two separate purchase agreements to acquire substantially all of the business operations of three building
supplies, lumber, and hardware retail stores for an aggregate purchase price of $1 million. No goodwill resulted from
these transactions. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the estimated fair value of net assets acquired
as of their respective acquisition dates of $1 million. Assuming the acquisition of these businesses were
consummated as of January 1, 2025, the pro forma effect on revenue and earnings are not material to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Carbide Tooling and Industrial Supply, Inc.
On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into purchase agreements to acquire substantially all of the assets
and business operations of an industrial supplier business known as Carbide Tooling and Industrial Supply, located
in Waller, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $6 million. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to
the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of $5 million and $1 million to goodwill, respectively. The goodwill
relating to these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a fifteen year period.
Assuming the acquisition of these businesses had occurred as of January 1, 2025, the pro forma effect on revenue
and earnings would not have been material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
17.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions. These matters include, but are
not limited to, claims arising from the operation of rented equipment, workers' compensation claims, and alleged
breaches of obligations of certain employees to former employers. Management believes that such claims and legal
actions taken against the Company are without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these
cases. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of any ongoing litigation and related matters,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
18.SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments: (1) Equipment Rental and Services Operations, and (2) Equipment
Sales. Equipment Rental and Services Operations are comprised of recurring activity performed at the Company's
full-service branch locations, such as equipment rentals and related services (including allocated telematics revenue
related to rental customer access to the T3 platform), and sales of parts, supplies and maintenance services to
construction contractors and others. Equipment Sales are comprised of sales by the Company of new or used
equipment made at any of the Company's branch locations and dealership sites, including equipment sales to
participants in the OWN Program. All other business activities, which include telematics SaaS subscriptions,
software applications, and related telematics devices purchased by customers for their owned fleet, as well as
building materials and hardware supplies, are included in “All Other.” The Company generates all of its revenue in
the U.S. and all long-lived assets are located in the U.S.
EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

These segments are based upon revenue streams and how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the
Company allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The
CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to make resource allocation decisions and to assess the performance of
these segments. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance without regard to
potential distortions and to assess period-over-period growth. Excluding OWN Program payouts and equipment
operating lease expense from Equipment Rental and Services Operations Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides the
CODM with a more meaningful metric to compare operating performance to industry peers who do not source their
equipment fleet through lease arrangements. The most significant decisions made by the CODM relate to site
expansion, capital deployment, and employee hiring, among other things.
Significant expenses regularly provided to the CODM and reported in Segment Adjusted EBITDA include
segment cost of revenues and segment selling, general, and administrative expenses. Segment cost of revenues for
the Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment includes direct operating costs, excluding equipment and
vehicle operating lease expense. Segment cost of revenues for the Equipment Sales segment includes the cost of
equipment sales. Segment cost of revenues for All Other business activities includes platform expenses. Segment
Adjusted EBITDA also excludes operating expenses related to OWN Program payouts, depreciation expense on
rental equipment, and amortization expense on capitalized software. Segment selling, general and administrative
expenses exclude depreciation expense related to the Company’s property and other fixed assets, and during the first
quarter of 2026, on a prospective basis, segment selling, general and administrative expenses exclude stock-based
compensation expense, following a change in the information regularly reviewed by the CODM. There are no other
significant segment expenses.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 2: Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2025. Certain corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, including corporate
employee compensation, technology costs, professional service fees, and insurance expenses are deemed to be of an
operating nature and are allocated to each segment based primarily on segment employee headcount. There were no
sales or transactions between segments for any of the periods presented. The Company retains various unattributed
assets at the general corporate level, which the Company refers to as “Shared Resources” in the table below. Assets
identified as Shared Resources primarily consist of cash, investments, property and other fixed assets and property
right of use assets. All other costs and assets are directly attributable to the segments. The Company does not
compile discrete financial information for segments other than the information presented below.

19.EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method as the Company’s convertible preferred stock
is considered a participating security because these shares participate in dividends on an as-converted basis with
common stock, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has two classes of common stock,
which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. On January 26, 2026, concurrent with
the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were converted into Class A common
stock and all shares of Class A common stock then held by the Founders were exchanged into an equivalent number
of shares of Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro-rata between the two classes of common
stock. The two-class method requires an allocation of earnings to all classes of common stock and participating
securities. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The participating securities are not
required to participate in the losses of the Company, and therefore during periods of loss there is no allocation
required under the two-class method between common and participating securities. The Company calculated diluted
earnings per share using the more dilutive of either the two-class, if-converted method or the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 the two-class, if-converted method and the treasury stock
method yielded the same result. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income
attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period.

addition, convertible preferred shares of 36,099,070 and 141,989,676, which are considered participating securities,
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025, respectively, as a result of their anti-dilutive effect. IPO Founders Awards of 4,836,914 were excluded from
the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as a result of their anti-
dilutive effect.
20.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 15, 2026, the ABL Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, add certain defined terms and
clarifications with respect to the required timing of repayment of outstanding borrowings, when certain conditions
are met, following the receipt by the Company of net cash proceeds from equipment sales to OWN Program
participants.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction
with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-
looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results and the timing of events could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to
these differences include those discussed below and under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K
particularly in the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections.
Overview
We are a leading tech-enabled construction solutions provider dedicated to enabling job sites to run more
productively and safely. Through our rental service and retail centers, we offer our customers a comprehensive
portfolio of equipment asset management solutions enabled through our T3 platform, which we believe is the
leading sensor-to-cloud fleet management tool in the commercial construction industry and which provides value-
added services to our customers by managing people, assets, and materials in real time.
We are one of the largest and fastest-growing equipment rental providers in the U.S. based on revenue. As of
March 31, 2026, we operated 371 full-service branch locations, 9 standalone dealership sites, and 27 building
materials and hardware retail stores across 45 states, with a diversified managed fleet portfolio of more than 262,000
pieces of equipment and approximately 357,000 trackers operating on our T3 platform. As of March 31, 2026, we
had 8,502 employees who support us in solving industry inefficiencies by providing smart jobsite technology, as
well as operating our equipment rental and retail and service centers.
Our rental fleet, including support vehicles and trailers, consists of equipment that we (i) own, (ii) lease as
lessee under operating lease arrangements with third-party lessors such as an Original Equipment Manufacturer
(“OEM”) and financial institutions, or (iii) lease as lessee under our OWN Program. As of March 31, 2026, 179,322
pieces of equipment were owned by us; 848 pieces of equipment were leased by us as a lessee under operating lease
arrangements with third parties such as OEMs and financial institutions; and 82,480 pieces of equipment were
leased by us as lessee, and rented by us to our customers, under our OWN Program. Leased equipment refers to
equipment subject to operating lease contracts with third parties such as OEMs and financial institutions in which
we have contracted use of the equipment for a defined period. OWN Program equipment refers to equipment sold to
OWN Program participants and subsequently leased back and operated by us under the OWN Program lease and
revenue-sharing structure. Both leased and OWN Program equipment are part of our equipment under management.
Our Business Activities and Operating Environment
We are engaged principally in the business of renting equipment that is managed by and fully enabled with our
T3 platform. This includes equipment that we own, lease, or is rented from third parties through our OWN Program.
Ancillary to our principal business of equipment rental and related services, we also sell used rental equipment, sell
new equipment and consumables, and offer certain services and support to our customers.
We operate our business through the following reportable segments: (i) Equipment Rental and Services
Operations, comprised of recurring activity performed at our full-service branch locations, such as equipment rentals
and related services (including allocated telematics revenue related to rental customer access to the T3 platform),
and sales of parts, supplies and maintenance services to construction contractors and others, and (ii) Equipment
Sales, comprised of sales by us of new or used equipment made at any of our branch locations and dealership sites,
including equipment sales to participants in the OWN Program. All other business activities include telematics SaaS
subscriptions, software applications, and related telematics devices purchased by customers for their owned fleet, as
well as building materials and hardware supplies.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Demand for Construction Equipment. Our business is primarily impacted by the demand in the U.S. for
construction equipment for use in non-residential, infrastructure, governmental, industrial, and residential
construction, demolition, maintenance, energy operations, and other construction activities. Demand levels for heavy
construction equipment are particularly dependent on the expected level of major infrastructure construction and
repair projects, which is a function of expected economic growth and government spending.
We expect to benefit if tariffs lead to onshoring of manufacturing and result in construction of new facilities, but
our results will be negatively affected if construction of energy transition infrastructure is reduced due to lower
subsidies or other factors.
Seasonality and Weather Conditions. The rental of construction equipment is seasonal, which causes our
quarterly results and our available cash flow to fluctuate during the year. Our customers generally purchase and rent
equipment in preparation for, or in conjunction with, their busy season, which is typically late spring to November.
However, weather conditions impact the timing of our customers’ busy season, which may cause greater than
expected fluctuations in our quarterly financial results year over year. Seasonal weather trends, particularly severe
wet or dry conditions, can have a significant impact on regional construction market performance by affecting the
ability to undertake construction projects. In addition, numerous external factors such as credit markets, government
subsidies and tariffs, commodity prices, and other circumstances may disrupt normal rental and/or purchasing
practices and sentiment, further contributing to the fluctuations.
Moreover, because equipment sale transactions with OWN Program participants occur unevenly throughout the
year, depending on demand, period-over-period comparisons may not reflect underlying trends. These transactions
may also result in a higher percentage of our revenue being attributable to an OWN Program participant for the
period during which one or more equipment sale transactions with such party occurred. The OWN Program has
consistently attracted strong demand across multiple, sources of capital, including institutional investors who
purchase as a buying group through a collective vehicle and finance their equipment purchases through asset-backed
securities (“ABS”). To satisfy this demand, the Company has organized for these investors sales of large packages
of equipment and has conducted these sales on an episodic basis. Accordingly, period-over-period comparisons may
not reflect underlying trends and fluctuations in our operating results and makes it difficult for us to predict our
future operating results.
Costs of Equipment and Inflation. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of equipment or
interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these
changes. Inflationary pressures and other factors have led to increases in the prices of some equipment and products
that we purchase, and in the costs of our operations, which may be partially offset by increases in the prices we
charge our customers. A sizeable portion of the equipment we lease as lessee through our OWN Program is owned
by third parties who have financed equipment purchases through the issuance of ABS, and a reduction in residual
values could trigger liquidation events for these OWN Program participants and may require them to sell their
construction equipment, which may cause a disruption in our ability to lease and re-rent the construction equipment
to our customers.
Our profitability is dependent upon a number of other factors, including the volume, mix, and pricing of rental
transactions, and the utilization of equipment.
Our business requires significant expenditures for equipment, and we require substantial liquidity and/or access
to capital to finance such expenditures. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Geographic and Fleet Expansion
Our geographic expansion of full-service equipment rental branch locations, and the corresponding increase in
total equipment rental fleet size as we supply new branch locations, is one of the primary factors affecting our
results. The additional branch locations and rental fleet, combined with equipment sales, were the primary drivers
for total revenue increasing from $716 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $989 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2026, or at an annual growth rate of 38%.
In line with customer demand and our growth strategy, we have increased the number of full-service equipment
rental branch locations from 292 as of March 31, 2025 to 371 as of March 31, 2026, an increase of 79 new full-
service equipment rental branch locations. In conjunction with the opening of these new full-service equipment
rental branch locations, we incurred $50 million and $55 million of new market startup costs during the three
months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We correspondingly increased our fleet size from 207,366 units of equipment under management as of
March 31, 2025 to 262,650 as of March 31, 2026, reflecting the growth in original equipment cost (“OEC”) under
management, which includes equipment we own and rent to customers, as well as equipment owned by third parties
and leased by us, as lessee through our OWN Program, and re-rented to customers, from $7,013 million as of
March 31, 2025 to $9,065 million as of March 31, 2026, or an increase of 29%.
Expansion of OWN Program
The growth in our business through geographic and fleet expansion has been partially achieved through the
execution of our strategy to expand our OWN Program. Under the OWN Program, participants may purchase from
us new or used (typically less than four years old) equipment which is fully enabled with T3. Concurrently, we enter
into a lease arrangement with the participant whereby we are the lessee and this qualified equipment is placed on our
T3 platform, to be rented to third party users. Rental revenue generated from equipment enrolled under the OWN
Program is divided and shared between us and the owner of the equipment, and for the duration of the arrangement
we manage the owner’s equipment utilizing the T3 platform.
Amounts we pay to OWN Program participants to lease their equipment are presented as OWN Program
payouts within cost of revenues. At the end of the sharing period under the OWN Program, we may assist the owner
with remarketing services if the equipment is to be sold in the market as used construction equipment. We also offer
several add-on services to the owner of the equipment. Participants in the OWN Program include institutional
investors and ABS entities, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and other third parties.
Revenue earned from equipment that is in the OWN Program has no depreciation expense or interest expense
for us because we do not own, and therefore do not finance, such equipment. Thus, we have been able to implement
this portion of our managed fleet growth without taking on additional debt and increasing our debt costs. When
rental equipment is enrolled in the OWN Program, rather than purchased and owned by us, we incur lease expense
in the form of OWN Program payouts, which are recorded as cost of revenues, instead of depreciation expense and
interest expense associated with rental equipment that is purchased. OWN Program payouts were $217 million and
$154 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This expansion increases cost of
revenues (before depreciation expense) and decreases depreciation expense and interest expense, which affects gross
profit (before depreciation expense), EBITDA (which we define and calculate as net income before interest expense,
income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization expense, and non-cash stock compensation expense), and
EBITDA margins. We expect to further increase our usage of the OWN Program, which will increase OWN
Program payouts in cost of revenues and reduce gross profit (before depreciation) and EBITDA margins, as
compared to rental equipment that is purchased and placed in our rental fleet. In addition, OWN Program payouts
plus depreciation have grown at a faster rate than the growth of revenue. Total equipment rental fleet OEC under the
Company’s management increased $2,052 million, or 29%, from $7,013 million as of March 31, 2025 to $9,065
million as of March 31, 2026. The total equipment rental fleet OEC enrolled in the OWN Program grew by $1,414
million, or 39%, Company-owned equipment rental fleet OEC grew by $717 million, or 22%, and the equipment
rental fleet OEC under operating leases decreased by $79 million during the same period. During the three months
ended March 31, 2026, OWN Program payouts increased 41% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025;
of that increase, 41% was attributed to the growth of the average equipment rental fleet OEC enrolled in the OWN
Program. Because the OWN Program payouts are variable and primarily based on the amount of rental revenue
generated by the applicable equipment during the period, changes in demand from our customers for specific types
of rental equipment affects the amount of equipment rental and related services revenue generated.
Components of Revenues and Expenses
Our revenues are primarily derived from the rental or sale of construction equipment, as well as related parts,
supplies and services, and consist of:
•Equipment rental and related services (includes revenue associated with the rental of equipment including
ancillary revenue from equipment delivery and pickup, rental protection plans, and fueling charges);
•Sales of new or used rental equipment and sales of new equipment, including revenue from equipment sales
subsequently listed on our marketplace under the OWN Program;
•Sales of equipment parts, supplies, and services (primarily relating to warranty services and maintenance
and repair services provided to customers); and
•Sales that we call “platform revenue,” which includes telematics software-as-a-service and related hardware
revenues, as well as the sale of building materials, small tools and construction supplies at our retail
locations.
Our expenses primarily consist of:
•Direct operating costs (primarily costs incurred at our rental branch locations that collectively support our
Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment, including, but not limited to, wages and related
benefits, service costs in connection with our rental equipment, site operating costs, pickup and delivery
expenses in connection with rental equipment, maintenance, fuel, parts, and supplies);
•OWN Program payouts;
•Equipment sales cost of revenues;
•Platform expense;
•Depreciation and amortization expense relating to equipment used in operations and capitalized software;
•Selling, general and administrative expenses; and
•Interest expense.
Our revenues and expenses are described in more detail below.
Revenues
Equipment Rental and Related Services
Our core service is the rental of equipment to customers on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, enabled by our
T3 platform. The equipment we rent includes company-owned equipment, equipment we lease as a lessee, and
equipment that is leased from other parties in the OWN Program and re-rented to customers. We generate rental
revenue from equipment that is in our OWN Program by leasing equipment from owners on a month-to-month or
longer basis and then renting that equipment to our customers. Under nearly all of our OWN Program contracts, we
have control over the equipment and the equipment owner is not able to redeploy or retrieve the equipment while
under rent. Depending on the terms and conditions, we present rental revenue that we generate and OWN Program
payouts that we incur on OWN Program contracts either on a gross basis or a net basis.
In addition to equipment rental revenue, including from our OWN Program, we also generate revenue from
rental customers from the sale of rental protection plan (“RPP”) services designed to protect them from potential
damage or loss to the equipment they rent, environmental fees assessed on the rental asset and fuel recovery fees that
we charge to our customers.
Equipment Sales
We have established a retail process to sell new and used equipment as a recurring part of our business. In
addition, we sell equipment assets to third parties, including third parties who have financed equipment purchases
through the issuance of ABS, and allow the customer to place the equipment in our OWN Program to be rented to
our customers. We sell new and used equipment through a variety of channels, including retail sales to customers
and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales, and auctions. We generate revenue from the sale of new
and used equipment, which we present net of sales and other tax amounts collected from customers and remitted to
government authorities. When we act as agent in connection with the sale of new equipment to, for example, a
contractor or an OWN Program participant, among other reasons, we present revenue from the sale of such
equipment net in our consolidated statements of net income. When we are the principal in the transaction, we present
revenue from the sale of equipment on a gross basis, with sales revenue included in equipment sales revenue and the
related cost of revenues included in equipment sales cost of revenues in our consolidated statements of net income.
Equipment Parts, Supplies, and Services
As an integral part of our Equipment Rental and Services Operations, we sell equipment parts and supplies and
provide maintenance, and repair services to customers, as well as the owners of equipment who are participants in
our OWN Program. Revenue generated from the sale of equipment parts and supplies is presented net of sales and
other tax amounts collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. We also generate revenue from
the provision of ad hoc and preventative maintenance, and repair services to our customers, as well as warranty
repairs. We provide warranty repair services on behalf of OEMs in order to fulfill the warranty extended by OEMs
to their customers. Revenue that we generate from warranty repair services represents compensation for the service
performed by us and is presented on a gross basis.
Platform Revenue
Platform revenue is comprised of revenue from telematics services and the sale of custom electronic
components, including telematics tracker devices and cloud-based access control keypads, and revenue from
building materials and hardware supplies. Revenue from telematics is generated through monthly subscriptions to
our T3 platform and its full suite of capabilities, which we provide to our customers as a SaaS subscription. In
addition, our equipment rental arrangements also provide customers with access to our T3 platform and we allocate
a portion of the transaction consideration from equipment rentals to telematics revenue. Our T3 platform provides
customers with access to proprietary digital tools to help manage their jobsites more productively and safely and
enables customers to streamline maintenance and prevent theft, and equipment misuse. Our T3 platform also enables
equipment owners with subscriptions to place their equipment on our OWN Program to be rented to our customers.
Revenue from building materials and hardware supplies is derived from the sale of such materials and supplies at
our retail stores.
Cost of Revenues
Direct Operating Costs
Direct operating costs include the costs that we incur at our rental branch locations that collectively support our
Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment, including, but not limited to, wages and related benefits,
service costs in connection with our rental equipment, site operating costs, pickup and delivery expenses in
connection with rental equipment, maintenance, fuel, parts, and supplies.
OWN Program Payouts
Amounts we pay to OWN Program participants, as a variable lease expense for their share of rental revenue
generated by us from equipment enrolled under the OWN Program, are presented as OWN Program payouts within
cost of revenues.
Equipment Sales
Equipment sales cost of revenues includes our OEC, less accumulated depreciation, related to equipment that
we sell when we act as the principal in the transaction.
Platform Expense
Platform expense primarily represents (1) costs relating to the telematics services provided to customers,
including the cost of tracker devices and cloud-based access control keypads installed on equipment owned by our
customers, and other custom electronic components; (2) the cost of building supplies, materials and hardware sold to
customers; and (3) other operating costs for our retail stores.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization includes non-cash expenses relating to the depreciation of our rental equipment
in the fleet and the amortization of capitalized costs relating to the development of our T3 platform.
Depreciation of rental equipment includes depreciation of various classes of our construction equipment,
delivery vehicles, trailers, and installed telematics tracker devices. We estimate that we may hold the asset in its
rental fleet for a period of five to ten years to generate rental revenue, after which it will be sold or otherwise
disposed of to another party. We also estimate the residual value of the equipment at the time of expected disposal.
Depreciation expense is calculated using a straight-line method and recorded over the estimated holding period.
The total capitalized cost of our T3 platform includes direct costs that result in additional functionality of our
software, including payroll and related costs for employees directly associated with the development project.
Capitalized software is amortized over an estimated useful life of five years.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include costs associated with operating leases, costs
incurred by us in connection with marketing of manufacturers’ equipment, net of reimbursements we receive from
such manufacturers for such costs, payroll costs, insurance costs, legal costs, marketing and travel costs, technology
costs, and certification and training costs. In addition, depreciation of our buildings and improvements, including
leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, office equipment, and capitalized startup costs are classified within
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Gain on Sale of Properties and Other Assets
Gain on the sale of properties and other assets primarily relate to properties in sale leaseback transactions with
other parties.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily represents interest on our outstanding debt. Any interest or penalties incurred relating
to income tax filings, if any, are also reported within interest expense.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net includes gains and losses on investments in equity securities, realized gains on available-for-
sale debt securities, fees relating to properties assigned to other parties, construction development fees earned for
managing construction activities at properties owned by other parties, and other miscellaneous income.

Total revenue. Our revenue was $989 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $716
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $273 million, or 38%. Our four sources of
revenues over the period are further discussed below:
Equipment rental revenue and related services. Equipment rental revenue and related services accounted for
69% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 69% of our revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2025. Our equipment rental revenue and related services was $683 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $495 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of
$188 million, or 38%. Approximately $144 million of the increase in equipment rental revenue and related services
is driven by an increase in construction demand in the U.S., our strategy to increase our geographical presence, and
value afforded our customers from our T3 technology platform. Accordingly, we increased the number of our full-
service equipment rental branch locations from 292 as of March 31, 2025 to 371 as of March 31, 2026. In addition,
we grew our fleet OEC under management from $7,013 million as of March 31, 2025 to $9,065 million as of
March 31, 2026, and increased the size of our fleet from 207,366 units to 262,650 units of equipment under
management as of March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Changes in the mix of equipment rented and price
changes increased in equipment rental and related services revenue by $44 million.
Equipment sales revenue. Equipment sales revenue accounted for 18% of our revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, compared to 20% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Equipment
sales revenue was $179 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $145 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $34 million, or 23%. The change was primarily due to our disciplined
and selective equipment sales into the OWN Program, resulting in an increase of $7 million in sales of construction
equipment to existing and new participants in our OWN Program, and an increase of $27 million in the sale of new
and used equipment to contractors and other end users. As we increase the size of our OWN Program, transactions
with OWN Program participants may result in a higher percentage of our revenue being attributable to an OWN
Program participant for the period during which one or more equipment sale transactions with such party occurred.
We have experienced strong interest from participants in the OWN Program for construction equipment enabled by
T3, as owners get real-time data on usage, health, and performance of the machines rented exclusively by
EquipmentShare and re-rented to our customers. The OWN Program has allowed us to scale the fleet OEC under
our management in order to meet customer demand for construction equipment enabled by T3.
Equipment parts, supplies, and services. Equipment parts, supplies, and services revenue accounted for 8% of
our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 8% for the three months ended March 31,
2025. Equipment parts, supplies, and services revenue was $77 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $19 million, or 33%. This
increase was primarily due to our expansion into new markets, resulting in additional full-service branch locations
added to our nationwide network, which increased from 292 locations as of March 31, 2025 to 371 locations as of
March 31, 2026. Equipment parts, supplies, and services revenue increased $4 million from mature branch locations
primarily attributed to the expansion of our product and service offering in mature branch locations, and $15 million
from new branch locations open less than 24 months as a result of the addition of 79 full-service branch locations.
Platform revenue. Platform revenue accounted for 5% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2026, compared to 3% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Platform revenue from telematics
was $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $10 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2025, an increase of $21 million, or 210%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in monthly
subscriptions sold for the T3 telematics services, an increase in equipment rented that is fully enabled with T3
telematics services, and an increase in revenues related to the sale of custom electronic components following our
September 2025 acquisition of the controlling interests in The Morey Corporation (“Morey”), a business that
designs, manufactures, and sells custom electronic components, including telematics tracker devices and cloud-
based access control keypads. Platform revenue from the sale of construction materials, building supplies, and
hardware across our building materials and hardware retail stores was $19 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $11 million
primarily attributable to the addition of 11 building materials and hardware retail stores.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was $702 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to
$516 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $186 million, or 36%.
Direct operating costs. Direct operating costs were $222 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $171 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $51 million, or 30%. The
increase in direct operating costs is primarily due to the organic expansion of our footprint through the addition of
79 full-service branch locations, which increased from 292 locations as of March 31, 2025 to 371 locations as of
March 31, 2026, partially offset by a decrease in equipment operating lease expense of $1 million due to the
termination of certain equipment operating lease agreements. The additional operating locations drove increases in
wages and related benefits of $23 million, and logistics, maintenance, and other site operating costs of $29 million.
OWN Program payouts. OWN Program payouts were $217 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026
compared to $154 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $63 million, or 41%.
Approximately $63 million of the increase is attributed to the growth of the average fleet OEC under management
enrolled in the OWN Program, which grew from $3,529 million in 2025 to $4,980 million in 2026, or 41%, driven
by demand from customers and participants in the OWN Program for construction equipment, as well as an increase
in 19 new full-service branch locations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Equipment sales cost of revenues. Equipment sales cost of revenues was $146 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, compared to $113 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $33
million, or 29%. This increase was primarily due to higher equipment sales to existing and new participants in the
OWN Program resulting in a increase in equipment sales cost of revenues of $10 million, and an increase of $23
million in equipment sales to contractors and other end users primarily due to our ability to reach a greater customer
base through our expansion of full-service branch locations, which increased from 292 as of March 31, 2025 to 371
as of March 31, 2026, also contributed to the increase in equipment sales cost of revenues.
Platform expense. Platform expense was $28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to
$8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $20 million primarily attributed to the addition
of 11 hardware retail stores and the acquisition of Morey in September 2025.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization accounted for 13% of our cost of revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 14% of our cost of revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2025. Depreciation and amortization was $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $19 million, or 27%. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciable equipment expense on rental equipment due to an increase
in average cost of owned equipment in our rental equipment, and a $3 million increase in amortization expense on
capitalized software due to an increase in average capitalized costs related to the continued development of our T3
platform.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $286 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $210 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025,
an increase of $76 million, or 36%. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily
attributed to our expansion of full-service branch locations and growth strategy. To support our expansion, we hired
570 additional staff resulting in an increase of $28 million in selling, general and administrative expense associated
with higher payroll, benefits and travel costs. Our expansion of full-service locations also resulted in higher facilities
and non-rental vehicles lease expense and associated costs of $11 million. The growth of our business and expansion
of our full-service branch locations also increased administrative costs such as insurance, legal, professional
expenses and non-income based taxes by $7 million and other miscellaneous administrative expenses by $13
million. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense of $17 million was recorded for the IPO Founders Awards
for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $63 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $7 million, or 11%. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in average outstanding debt balances to fund our expansion strategy
including purchases of construction equipment for our fleet, partially offset by lower average interest rates under our
asset-based revolving credit facilities.
Total other expense, net. Total other expense, net, was $62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $5 million, or 9%. This increase
was primarily due to higher interest expense of $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulting from our higher average outstanding borrowing for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by higher miscellaneous income of $2 million due to interest and
dividend income and unrealized net gains, on various investments held in equity securities.
Benefit from income taxes. The benefit for income taxes was $32 million for the three months ended March 31,
2026, compared to $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $13 million, or 68%.
Although the Company incurred a loss in the current interim period, it anticipates generating taxable income for the
full fiscal year. Accordingly, the estimated annual effective tax rate reflects the expected full-year income and
related expense. Differences between applicable federal and state statutory tax rates and the effective income tax
rates for the income tax benefit recorded by the Company are primarily due to nondeductible expenses and the Texas
franchise tax, offset by research and development tax credits.
Net loss. Net loss decreased by $19 million to $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as
compared to net loss of $48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to $11 million of higher
operating income, partially offset by $5 million of higher total other expense, net and $13 million of higher income
tax benefit.
Key Performance Metrics
We regularly review a number of financial measurements and operating metrics to evaluate our operating
performance, measure our growth and make strategic investment decisions. In addition to traditional U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) performance measures, such as total revenue and net income, we use
supplemental performance operating metrics such as OEC Under Management, and the non-GAAP financial
measure EBITDA.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
We refer in this Form 10-Q to EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered supplemental to and is not a substitute for
financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our use of the term EBITDA may vary from the use
of similar terms by other companies in our industry and accordingly may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.
EBITDA. EBITDA is a key metric used by management and our Board to assess our financial performance. We
define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash
stock compensation expense, which we believe, when excluded, provide investors with a useful representation of our
ongoing operations and performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in
understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax
structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in EBITDA. Our
presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items
excluded from EBITDA.

Other Key Financial Metrics
Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key
performance metrics used by management and our Board to assess the financial performance of our Equipment
Rental and Services Operations segment. Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability measure
used by management to evaluate our Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment, disclosed in accordance
with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, (“Topic 280”).
Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by
Equipment Rental and Services Operations Segment total revenues.
The below table presents our Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Equipment Rental Segment
Adjusted EBITDA Margin for each of the periods indicated.

(1)Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA includes direct operating costs (excluding equipment and vehicle operating lease expense)
and selling, general, and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation expense related to our property and other fixed assets). Equipment
and vehicle operating lease expense was $6 million and $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Depreciation expense related to our property and other fixed assets was $14 million and $9 million, and for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Equipment Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA also excludes operating expenses related to OWN
Program payouts, depreciation expense on rental equipment, and amortization expense on capitalized software and intangible assets. These
excluded expenses are significant: OWN Program payouts, depreciation expense on rental equipment, and amortization expense on
capitalized software and intangible assets was $217 million, $82 million, and $8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31,
2026, $154 million, $67 million, and $4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For additional information, see
Note 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
OEC Under Management. A substantial portion of our overall value is in our rental fleet equipment, including
support vehicles and trailers. The OEC of our owned rental equipment at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was
$3,930 million and $3,213 million, respectively, or approximately 43% and 46%, respectively, of total equipment
rental OEC under our management. At March 31, 2026, the appraised value of the rental equipment owned by OWN
Program participants was $4,039 million. Our broader managed equipment rental fleet from which we support and
generate our equipment rental revenue as of March 31, 2026 consisted of 262,650 units having an OEC of $9,065
million and an average age of 31 months, and as of March 31, 2025 consisted of 207,366 units having an OEC of
$7,013 million and an average age of 29 months.
Fleet Composition. Our equipment rental fleet from which we support and generate our equipment rental
revenue is summarized in the tables below:

The diversity of equipment in our rental fleet is monitored and carefully balanced to give us the ability to
relocate equipment across regions to support increased regional industrial or construction activity and enhance our
overall utilization. For example, certain categories of our equipment supporting industrial construction can
efficiently be re-located to infrastructure projects. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 84% and 85% of
our rental fleet consists of general rental construction equipment, which includes our core rental equipment of boom
lifts, telehandlers, earth moving, scissor lifts, and excavators, respectively, and 16% and 15% of our rental fleet
consists of specialty equipment, which includes advanced solutions, industrial tooling, and other non-core rental
equipment, respectively.
The rental equipment mix among our general rental and specialty equipment categories was largely consistent in
each year as a percentage of total units available for rent and as a percentage of OEC.
For the net book value of our rental equipment, see Note 5 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Business Segments
We operate our business through the following reportable segments: (i) Equipment Rental and Services
Operations, comprised of recurring activity performed at our full-service branch locations, such as equipment rentals
and related services (including allocated telematics revenue related to rental customer access to the T3 platform),
and sales of parts, supplies and maintenance services to construction contractors and others, and (ii) Equipment
Sales, comprised of sales by us of new or used equipment made at any of our branch locations and dealership sites,
including equipment sales to participants in the OWN Program. All other business activities include telematics SaaS
subscriptions, software applications, and related telematics devices purchased by customers for their owned fleet, as
well as building materials and hardware supplies. These segments are based upon how we allocate resources and
assess performance. For additional information about our business segments, see Note 18 to our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Equipment Rental and Services Operations
Our core service is the rental of equipment to customers on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, enabled by our
T3 platform. The equipment we rent includes (i) company-owned equipment, (ii) equipment that is leased to us
under month-to-month or longer-term arrangements from participants in our OWN Program, and (iii) equipment
owned by other third parties and leased to us under operating leases. We generate rental revenue by renting
equipment owned by us or owned by others and re-renting the equipment to our customers.
In addition to equipment rental revenue, we also generate revenue from the sale of RPP services designed to
protect our customers from potential damage or loss to the equipment during the rental period, environmental fees
assessed on the rental asset, and fuel recovery fees that we charge to our rental customers.
As an integral part of our Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment, we sell equipment parts and
supplies and provide maintenance and repair services to customers, as well as the owners of equipment who are
participants in our OWN Program. We generate revenue from the provision of ad hoc and preventative maintenance
and repair services to our customers. We also provide warranty repair services on behalf of OEMs in order to fulfill
the warranty extended by the OEMs to customers. Revenue that we generate from warranty repair services
represents compensation for the service performed by us.
Our principal costs and expenses associated with the Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment
include (i) segment direct operating costs incurred across our 371 full-service branch locations and 9 dealership sites
as of March 31, 2026, excluding operating expenses related to OWN Program payouts and equipment and vehicle
operating lease expense; and (ii) segment selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding depreciation
expense related to the property and other fixed assets. Direct operating costs include the costs incurred at our rental
branch locations that collectively support our Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment, including, but not
limited to, wages and related benefits, service costs in connection with our rental equipment, site operating costs,
pickup and delivery expenses in connection with rental equipment, maintenance, fuel, parts, and supplies.
Equipment Sales
Through our Equipment Sales segment, we manage retail processes to sell new and used equipment. We sell
used equipment assets to participants in our OWN Program, including third parties who have financed equipment
purchases through the issuance of ABS. We also sell new and used equipment to others through a variety of
channels, including retail sales, wholesalers, brokered sales, and auctions. Our principal costs and expenses
associated with the Equipment Sales segment include the OEC, or purchase cost, of the equipment that we sell when
we act as the principal in the transaction. When we act as the agent in the transaction, the purchase cost of the
equipment that we sell is presented net of the equipment sales revenue.
All Other
All other business activities, which include telematics SaaS subscriptions, software applications, and the design,
manufacture, and sale of custom electronic components, including telematics devices and cloud-based access control
keypads purchased by customers for their owned fleet, as well as building materials and hardware supplies, are
included in “All Other.”

__________________
(1)Segment Adjusted EBITDA includes cost of revenues and selling, general, and administrative expenses for each segment. Cost of revenues
for the Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment includes direct operating costs, excluding equipment and vehicle operating lease
expense. Equipment and vehicle operating lease expense was $6 million and $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025 respectively. Cost of revenues for the Equipment Sales segment includes the cost of equipment sales. Cost of revenues for all other
activities includes platform expenses. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also excludes operating expenses related to OWN Program payouts,
depreciation expense on rental equipment, and amortization expense on capitalized software and intangible assets. These excluded expenses
are significant: OWN Program payouts, depreciation expense on rental equipment, and amortization expense on capitalized software and
intangible assets was $217 million, $82 million, and $8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, $154 million, $67
million, and $4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses for each
segment exclude depreciation expense related to our property and other fixed assets. Depreciation expense related to our property and other
fixed assets was $14 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For additional information,
see Note 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Equipment Rental and Services Operations. Revenue for our Equipment Rental and Services Operations
segment was $764 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $556 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $208 million, or 37%. Approximately $144 million of the increase is
attributed to the growth in fleet OEC under our management from $7,013 million as of March 31, 2025 to $9,065
million as of March 31, 2026, and the corresponding increase in our fleet size from 207,366 units to 262,650 units of
equipment under our management as of March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The increase in fleet OEC under our
management, connected to our T3 platform, drove an increase in equipment rental revenue, primarily from national
and regional customers. Fleet OEC under our management includes equipment we own and lease, as well as
equipment owned by third parties and leased through our OWN Program that we rent to customers from our full-
service branch locations, which also increased from 292 as of March 31, 2025, to 371 as of March 31, 2026.
Revenue from sales of equipment parts, supplies, and services from mature branch locations and new branch
locations open less than 24 months contributed $4 million and $15 million, respectively, to the increase in
equipment rental and related services revenue and changes in the mix of equipment rented and price changes
increased equipment rental and related services revenue by $44 million.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment was $323 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $209 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an
increase of $114 million, or 55%. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due an increase in
segment total revenues of $208 million from equipment rentals and the sale of parts, supplies and services, attributed
to our organic growth initiatives, including the maturation of our existing sites and incremental growth sites, and an
increase in equipment rental fleet OEC under our management, from $7,013 million as of March 31, 2025 to $9,065
million as of March 31, 2026, and the corresponding increase in our fleet size from 207,366 units to 262,650 units of
equipment under our management as of March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, driven by OWN Program demand.
The increase in segment total revenues was offset by increases of $51 million in segment cost of revenues and $43
million in segment selling, general and administrative expenses.
Equipment Sales. Revenue for our Equipment Sales segment was $179 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to $145 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $34 million,
or 23%. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of construction equipment, primarily to contractors and
other end users, as presented in the following table (in millions):

__________________
(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, equipment sales to OWN Program participants included net revenue of $6 million
and $13 million, respectively, recognized on an agent basis, with overall transaction values of $41 million and $97 million, respectively.
The increase in equipment sales of $34 million is primarily attributed to higher sales of $7 million in
construction equipment to existing and new participants in our OWN Program. Sales of new and used equipment
from our full service branch locations to contractors and other end users increased $27 million, primarily attributed
to our site expansions.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Equipment Sales segment was $26 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to $25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1 million, or
4%. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributed to higher gross margins on equipment
sales.
All Other. Revenue for all other activities was $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $31 million, or 207%. This
increase was primarily due to an increase of $20 million in telematics SaaS subscriptions, applications, and related
telematics devices, as well as an increase of $11 million in sales of building materials, small tools, and hardware
supplies due to our expansion of 11 hardware stores during the trailing twelve months. Segment loss for our all other
activities was $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $2 million, or 50%, primarily due to the higher revenue as previously
discussed, partially offset by an increase of $9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, including
employee compensation, technology costs, professional service fees, and insurance expenses which were allocated
to all other activities based on employee headcount.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary liquidity needs include funding our growth, payment of operating expenses, purchases of rental
equipment to be used in our operations, servicing of debt, and funding acquisitions.
Our future contractual obligations are further discussed in “—Contractual Obligations and Commitments”
below. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from our operations and
our ability to borrow under our existing ABL Credit Facility, other financing arrangements, including lines of credit,
and the issuances of perpetual preferred, common stock, and convertible preferred stock.
As of March 31, 2026, our liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $329 million and net excess
availability of $1,276 million under our ABL Credit Facility. See “—ABL Credit Facility—Borrowing Capacity”
below.
Our strategy is to maintain enough liquidity from both cash from operations and our availability under our debt
facilities to maintain sufficient headroom to finance our growth, as well as mitigate the impact that any adverse
financial market conditions might have on our operations in the future. We believe that cash generated from
operations, together with amounts available under the ABL Credit Facility or other financing arrangements, will be
sufficient to meet working capital requirements, debt payments, and anticipated capital expenditures, as well as meet
other strategic uses of cash, if any, over the next twelve months and beyond. We aim to maintain at least
$500 million in liquidity at all times.
To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business
activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional
equity would result in additional dilution to shareholders. In addition, we continuously monitor the capital markets
and our capital structure, and, from time to time, we seek to refinance, amend or otherwise restructure our
outstanding debt on an opportunistic basis and can also choose to raise incremental liquidity as part of such
transactions. Such repurchases, refinancings, amendments, exchanges or other transactions, if any, will be upon such
terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity
requirements, the availability of authorized share capital, contractual restrictions and other factors. The incurrence of
debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for
operating and financing covenants that may restrict our operations. There can be no assurances that we will be able
to raise additional capital on terms that are attractive to us or at all. The inability to raise capital would adversely
affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.
We sell equipment to third party OWN Program participants who have financed equipment purchases through
the issuance of ABS. Under the terms of the ABS, if the appraised value of the equipment declines below specified
amounts, these vehicles may require the third-party owner to liquidate some or all of their equipment, which would
make it unavailable to us and may require us to expend cash to obtain replacement equipment in order to supply our
customers with rental equipment.
Cash Flows
Significant factors driving our liquidity position include cash flows generated from operating and financing
activities, as well as investing activities. We have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow
from our operations. Our ability to fund our capital needs will be affected by our ongoing ability to generate cash
from operations and access to capital markets.
The following table summarizes the change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown:
| | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | | |
| |
Net cash used in operating activities .............................................. | | | |
Net cash used in investing activities ............................................... | | | |
Net cash provided by financing activities ...................................... | | | |
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents .............. | | | |
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in our operating activities was $200 million
and $51 million, respectively, and was in each period primarily due to the expansion of our business, increased
working capital corresponding to the growth in our revenues, and the timing of certain payments. For the three
months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities reflects a decrease in accrued equipment
purchases from $281 million at December 31, 2025 to $70 million at March 31, 2026, primarily due to the timing of
payments for equipment purchased in transactions when we act as the agent. Net cash used in operating activities
also reflects an increase in cost of revenues of $186 million, selling, general and administrative expenses of $76
million, and interest expense of $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, associated with the growth of our revenues and other changes in working capital.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in our investing activities was $280 million
and $283 million, respectively, a decrease of 1%, and was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for the purchases
of properties and other fixed assets which was $48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $50
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and an increase in proceeds received from the sale of rental
equipment of $115 million and $75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, partially offset by
an increase in by cash used for the purchases of rental equipment, which was $328 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, and $293 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $503 million,
compared to $273 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 84%. Net cash provided by
financing activities was positively impacted by net proceeds of $706 million from the issuance of class A common
stock upon the initial public offering, net of underwriting discount and commissions, net proceeds of $381 million
from the issuance of long-term debt for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and net proceeds of $300 million
from the issuance of long-term debt for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was offset partially by using
$582 million in cash to repay long-term debt and finance leases for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $15
million in cash to repay long-term debt and finance leases for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures relate largely to purchases of rental equipment, with the remaining portion representing
purchases of and deposits on property and other fixed assets and investments in internally developed software
primarily associated with the development of our proprietary T3 platform and related software applications. We
offset capital expenditures related to our rental equipment fleet through our sales of rental equipment to contractors
and to OWN Program participants, including high net worth individuals, family offices, and other third parties who
have financed equipment purchases through the issuance of ABS.
The table below sets forth the capital expenditures related to our rental equipment fleet, net of proceeds from the
sale of rental equipment, and investments we are making to the T3 platform and other internally developed software
for each of the years presented.

related software applications that generate platform revenue.
Net rental equipment capital expenditures were $213 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $218 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 2%, as we continued to grow
our fleet and site locations in connection with our geographical expansion.
ABL Credit Facility
Borrowing Capacity
On November 26, 2025, the Company refinanced existing borrowings under an asset-based lending facility (the
“ABL Facility”) by entering into a new asset-based lending facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The ABL Credit
Facility has a stated maturity date of November 26, 2030. The ABL Credit Facility provides available “borrowing
capacity” (the maximum borrowing permitted, assuming there is sufficient collateral as identified under the ABL
Credit Facility) up to $2.75 billion. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate (at the
Company’s election) equal to either (i) the SOFR plus a spread between 112.5 to 137.5 basis points or (ii) the
greatest of (a) 0%, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 50 basis points, (c) the SOFR for a one
month tenor in effect on such day (to the extent ascertainable), plus 100 basis points, and (d) the Prime Rate plus (y)
a spread between 12.5 basis points and 37.5 basis points.
The ABL Credit Facility provides for the majority of our borrowing capacity and availability. Creditors under
the ABL Credit Facility have a first-priority security interest in specific pools of assets identified as collateral
therein. Our ability to borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is a function of, among other things, the value of the
assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as
the “Borrowing Base,” which includes our accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, eligible rental
equipment, eligible rolling stock and eligible inventory.
Under the ABL Credit Facility, we are required to maintain control agreements on deposit accounts where,
(x) proceeds of collateral from customers and other obligors or (y) proceeds of sales of the collateral, are deposited.
During a Cash Dominion Period (as defined below), all amounts in such deposit accounts are swept into a collection
account maintained with the ABL Credit Facility Agent and used to repay borrowings under the ABL Credit
Facility. A cash dominion period (“Cash Dominion Period”) begins from the occurrence of (a) any specified event of
default or (b) specified availability being less than the greater of (i) 10% of the maximum borrowing amount and
(ii) $175 million, for five consecutive business days and ends when (a) no specified event of default exists and (b)
specified availability has been greater than the greater of (i) 10% of the maximum borrowing amount and (ii) $175
million, for twenty consecutive days.
As of March 31, 2026, we calculated a Borrowing Base, as defined under the ABL Credit Facility, of $2,280
million. We determine “Net Excess Availability” as the amount of additional debt we could borrow based on the
existing borrowing base. As of March 31, 2026, we had Net Excess Availability of $1,276 million under the ABL
Facility. We determine “Remaining Capacity” as defined under the ABL Credit Facility as the maximum principal
amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we
possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under the facility. We
calculate “Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation” as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the Borrowing
Base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, or the amount of debt we
could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time, up to payment conditions. As of March 31, 2026, we
calculated Remaining Capacity of $1,746 million and our “Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation” was
$1,048 million. Under the ABL Credit Facility, “Remaining Capacity” and “Availability Under Borrowing Base
Limitation” are calculated and defined in the same way as under the ABL Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, $6 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding with a third-party
financial institution.
Covenants
Our ABL Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make
certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions), create liens,
make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of our business, or
engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates. Under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, we are not subject
to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the ABL Credit Facility, failure to maintain certain
levels of liquidity will subject us to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the
four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2026, the appropriate levels of liquidity have been maintained;
therefore this financial maintenance covenant is not applicable. Additional information on the terms of our ABL
Credit Facility is included in Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this
Form 10-Q.
The ABL Credit Facility is secured on a first-priority basis by liens on substantially all of our and any
guarantor’s assets, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the ABL
Credit Facility is not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries.
Certain of the restrictive covenants under the ABL Credit Facility utilize adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the
related credit agreement, as a primary component of the compliance metric governing our ability to undertake
certain actions otherwise proscribed by such covenants. The adjusted EBITDA metric is calculated under the ABL
Credit Facility as net income before the income tax provision, net financing charges, restructuring and impairment
costs, allocation for support functions and other costs, and intangible asset amortization and depreciation, and new
market start-up costs attributable to new locations less than twelve months old subject to a specified cap calculated
as a percentage of the adjusted EBITDA metric. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, new market
start-up costs attributed to our Equipment Rental and Services Operations segment were $50 million and $55
million, respectively.
Notes
Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028
On May 9, 2023, we issued $640,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 9.000% Senior Secured Second Lien
Notes due 2028 (the “Initial 2028 Notes”). On September 21, 2023, we issued an additional $400,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of 9.000% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028 (the “Additional 2028 Notes”
and together with the Initial 2028 Notes, the “2028 Notes”). The 2028 Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture,
dated as of May 9, 2023, between us and Citibank, N.A., as trustee and notes collateral agent (the “2028 Notes
Indenture”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.00% per year and interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-
annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2028 Notes will mature on May 15, 2028. The
2028 Notes rank pari passu in right of payment to all of our and any guarantor’s existing and future senior
indebtedness, including indebtedness under the ABL Credit Facility, our 2032 Notes (as defined below) and our
2033 Notes (as defined below).
The 2028 Notes and any related guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of
our and any guarantor’s assets that secure any first-priority lien obligations (including the ABL Credit Facility),
subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. There are certain situations where all or a portion of such collateral
may be automatically released.
The 2028 Notes are not currently guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and, in the future, will be jointly and
severally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by each of our current and future subsidiaries to the extent
such subsidiary guarantees our ABL Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. We may redeem
some or all of the 2028 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the 2028 Notes Indenture.
The 2028 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants applicable to us and our restricted subsidiaries, including
limitations on: (1) liens; (2) indebtedness; (3) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (4) sales, transfers and other
dispositions of assets; (5) loans and other investments; (6) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and
redemptions and other restricted payments; (7) restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (8) transactions with affiliates; and
(9) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries. Each of these covenants is subject to a number of important exceptions
and qualifications. In addition, many of the restrictive covenants do not apply to us during any period when the 2028
Notes are rated investment grade by any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s
Investors Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency
selected by us, provided at such time no default under the 2028 Notes Indenture has occurred and is continuing. In
the case of an event of default, the principal amount of the 2028 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest would be
accelerated.
Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2032
On April 16, 2024, we issued $600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Secured Second
Lien Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). The 2032 Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of
April 16, 2024, between us and Citibank, N.A., as trustee and notes collateral agent (the “2032 Notes Indenture”).
The 2032 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per year and interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually in
arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2032 Notes will mature on May 15, 2032. The 2032 Notes
rank pari passu in right of payment to all of our and any guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness,
including indebtedness under the ABL Credit Facility, our 2028 Notes and our 2033 Notes.
The 2032 Notes and any related guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of
our and any guarantor’s assets that secure any first-priority lien obligations (including the ABL Credit Facility),
subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. There are certain situations where all or a portion of such collateral
may be automatically released.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the 2032 Notes are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. Going forward,
the 2032 Notes will be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by each of our current
and future subsidiaries to the extent such subsidiary guarantees our ABL Credit Facility, subject to certain
limitations and exceptions. We may redeem some or all of the 2032 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the
2032 Notes Indenture.
The 2032 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants applicable to us and our restricted subsidiaries, including
limitations on: (1) liens; (2) indebtedness; (3) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (4) sales, transfers and other
dispositions of assets; (5) loans and other investments; (6) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and
redemptions and other restricted payments; (7) restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (8) transactions with affiliates; and
(9) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries. Each of these covenants is subject to a number of important exceptions
and qualifications. In addition, many of the restrictive covenants do not apply to us during any period when the 2032
Notes are rated investment grade by any two of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch or, in certain circumstances, another rating
agency selected by us, provided at such time no default under the 2032 Notes Indenture has occurred and is
continuing. In the case of an event of default, the principal amount of the 2032 Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest would be accelerated.
Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2033
On September 13, 2024, we issued $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8.000% Senior Secured
Second Lien Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”). The 2033 Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of
September 13, 2024, between us and Citibank, N.A., as trustee and notes collateral agent (the “2033 Notes
Indenture”). The 2033 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.000% per year and interest on the 2033 Notes is payable
semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2033 Notes will mature on March 15,
2033. The 2033 Notes rank pari passu in right of payment to all of our and any guarantor’s existing and future
senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the ABL Credit Facility, our 2028 Notes and our 2032 Notes.
The 2033 Notes and any related guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of
our and any guarantor’s assets that secure any first-priority lien obligations (including the ABL Credit Facility),
subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. There are certain situations where all or a portion of such collateral
may be automatically released.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the 2033 Notes are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. Going forward,
the 2033 Notes will be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by each of our current
and future subsidiaries to the extent such subsidiary guarantees our ABL Credit Facility, subject to certain
limitations and exceptions. We may redeem some or all of the 2033 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the
2033 Notes Indenture.
The 2033 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants applicable to us and our restricted subsidiaries, including
limitations on: (1) liens; (2) indebtedness; (3) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (4) sales, transfers and other
dispositions of assets; (5) loans and other investments; (6) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and
redemptions and other restricted payments; (7) restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (8) transactions with affiliates; and
(9) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries. Each of these covenants is subject to a number of important exceptions
and qualifications. In addition, many of the restrictive covenants do not apply to us during any period when the 2033
Notes are rated investment grade by any two of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch or, in certain circumstances, another rating
agency selected by us, provided at such time no default under the 2033 Notes Indenture has occurred and is
continuing. In the case of an event of default, the principal amount of the 2033 Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest would be accelerated.
Certain of the restrictive covenants under the indentures governing our outstanding notes utilize consolidated
total assets as a primary component of the compliance metric governing our ability to undertake certain actions
otherwise proscribed by such covenants.
In addition, certain liens and restricted payments are permitted subject to leverage ratios which are calculated
based on an adjusted EBITDA metric. Such adjusted EBITDA metric is calculated under the indentures governing
our outstanding notes as net income before income tax provision, net financing charges, restructuring and
impairment costs, allocation for support functions and other costs, and intangible asset amortization and
depreciation, and new market start-up costs attributable to new locations less than twelve months old subject to a
specified cap calculated as a percentage of the adjusted EBITDA metric.
Amendments to the Indentures Governing the 2028 Notes and the 2032 Notes
On July 17, 2025, the indentures governing the 2028 Notes and the 2032 Notes were amended to conform
certain covenants and related definitions for these notes to the indenture governing the 2033 Notes. Among other
things, the amendments increased certain limits on debt incurrence to align with the 2033 Notes and aligned certain
aspects of the lien covenant to the same terms in the 2033 Notes Indenture. In connection with these amendments to
the indentures, we paid $5 million in fees and expenses.
Dividends
Dividends on our perpetual preferred accrue and accumulate daily in arrears on the then current accreted
liquidation preference of the outstanding perpetual preferred, whether or not declared, and, if not declared and paid,
will accrue at the applicable dividend rate and be compounded quarterly in arrears. Dividends on the perpetual
preferred will be payable, at our election, in cash at any time when, as and if declared by our Board or any duly
authorized committee of our Board, but only out of assets legally available. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum
potential dividend accumulated in arrears on our perpetual preferred was approximately $136 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The following table summarizes our long-term contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2026.
| | | | | | | | | |
| |
| | | | | | | | | |
| |
Debt ............................................................... | | | | | | | | | |
Operating leases ............................................ | | | | | | | | | |
Finance leases ............................................... | | | | | | | | | |
Financing obligations (equipment) ............... | | | | | | | | | |
Total contractual obligations .................... | | | | | | | | | |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or are reasonably likely to have a
material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity or capital
resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2025. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter
ended March 31, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, primarily related to the effects of changes in interest rates
(including credit spreads) and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our
regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial
instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for
speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a major financial
institution in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
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 one percentage point in interest rates
on our ABL Facility as of March 31, 2026, our pre-tax earnings would decrease by an estimated $10 million over a
12-month period. We terminated certain interest rate swap agreements in connection with the entry into the ABL
Credit Facility.
Commodity Price Risk
The cost of logistics and transportation fluctuates in large part due to the price of oil and demand trends. Any
fluctuations in our transportation costs in excess of amounts we charge to customers, including the cost of delivery
and pick up of construction equipment, could harm our gross profits and margins. If we are unable to successfully
mitigate a significant portion of commodity price increases or fluctuations, our results of operations could be
harmed. A 10% increase in our transportation costs, if not recovered through higher charges to our customers, would
have resulted in a change to cost of revenues of approximately $4 million and $3 million, and for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Foreign Currency Risk
We employ a limited number of software engineers domiciled in the United Kingdom (the “UK”). As a result,
we have foreign currency risk exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily with respect to payroll, employee
benefits, lease expense, and other costs incurred and paid in British Pounds. During the three months ended
March 31, 2026, the total costs incurred by our subsidiary in the UK was not material to our operating results. Based
on the size of our subsidiary in the UK, we do not believe that a 10% change in the British Pound exchange rate
would have a material impact on our earnings. We do not engage in purchasing forward exchange contracts for
speculative purposes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
We, under the supervision of and with participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial
reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period
established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

8.Counterpart Execution.

MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
*Certain portions of this agreement (including the exhibits) have been redacted in accordance with Item 6.01 (b)(10) of Regulations S-K. This information is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed.
“[***]” indicates that information has been redacted.
THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is made as of [***], 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between [***] (“Lessor”), whose address is [***], and EQUIPMENTSHARE.COM INC, a Texas corporation, its successors and/or assigns (“Lessee”), whose address is 5710 Bull Run Dr. Columbia, MO 65201. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Lessor and Lessee hereby covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
BASIC LEASE TERMS
Section 1.01. Properties. This Lease shall dictate the terms and conditions of occupancy of certain real property owned by Lessor and leased to Lessee (individually, a “Property” and collectively, “Properties”) identified on commencement date memoranda in substantially the same form as attached hereto at Exhibit B (each a “Commencement Date Memorandum”). From time to time the Parties may add additional Properties to this Lease by executing a Commencement Date Memorandum for each such additional Property. The street addresses, legal descriptions, tenancy lengths, and economic terms relating to each Property are set forth on the applicable Real Property Schedule attached to the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum. For the avoidance of doubt, each Commencement Date Memorandum shall constitute a separate lease of the Property, subject to the terms of this Lease.
Section 1.02. Master Lease Expiration Date. As described in Section 3.01, below.
Section 1.03. Extension Options for Scheduled Property. As described in Section 3.02, below.
Section 1.04. Term Expiration Date (if fully extended). See, applicable Real Property Schedule.
Section 1.05. Equipment Storage Rent; Initial Base Annual Rent. During the Construction Period (defined in Section 3.01(a), below), Rent shall be paid to Lessor in the manner described in Article IV and in the amount set forth in the applicable Real Property Schedule (the “Equipment Storage Rent”) for use of any portions of the Property upon which Improvements are not being constructed for purposes of storing equipment and uses incidental thereto. Beginning as of the Base Rent Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Section 2.01(d)), initial Base Annual Rent shall be paid to Lessor in the manner described in Article IV and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Real Property Schedule (“Base Rent Commencement Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, if no site improvements are contemplated on the Property and Lessee intends to assume all obligations hereunder as of the Access Date (as stipulated on the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum), then the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be of even date therewith.
Section 1.06. Rent Adjustment. See, applicable Real Property Schedule.
Section 1.07. Adjustment Date. See, applicable Real Property Schedule.
ARTICLE II
LEASE OF PROPERTIES
Section 2.01. Lease.
(a) In consideration of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, and subject to Section 2.01(c) below, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby accepts, the Properties, “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” without representation or warranty by Lessor, except as otherwise set forth herein, and subject to the existing state of title, the parties in possession, any statement of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection might reveal, and all Legal Requirements now or hereafter in effect.
(b) During the Lease Term, only the Properties for which Commencement Date Memoranda have been executed are subject to this Lease.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease, the Parties acknowledge that except for those provisions that are clearly intended by their terms to begin as of the Access Date, the enforceability of this Lease with respect to any Property, including Lessee’s occupancy and acceptance of the Property and the Lessor’s leasing obligations, shall only occur on the Base Rent Commencement Date and is expressly conditioned upon the Substantial Completion of the Improvements, and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (temporary or permanent, as applicable) by the relevant governmental authorities with respect to such Property.
(d) The Base Rent Commencement Date for each Property shall be the date on which Lessee delivers to Lessor a Completion Notice for such Property certifying that Substantial Completion has been achieved and a Certificate of Occupancy (temporary or permanent, as applicable) has been issued, with a copy of such Certificate of Occupancy attached. If Lessor disputes that Substantial Completion has been achieved or that a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written objection specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis therefor within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Completion Notice; failing which, Lessor shall be deemed to have accepted the Completion Notice and the Base Rent Commencement Date established thereby. If a timely objection is delivered, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent architect mutually selected by the Parties, which determination shall be rendered within twenty (20) Business Days after engagement. The non-prevailing Party shall bear the costs of such determination. If the determination confirms that Substantial Completion was achieved and a Certificate of Occupancy was issued as of or prior to the date of Lessee's delivery of the Completion Notice, the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be the date of such delivery and all obligations triggered thereby shall apply retroactively. In the event of any conflict between this Section 2.01(d) and any other provision of this Lease or any Commencement Date Memorandum, this Section 2.01(d) shall control.
Section 2.02. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and continues beyond all applicable opportunities for notice and cure, and subject to the rights of Lessor under Section 12.02, Lessee, its sublessees, co-occupants, and/or assigns shall have the right to the peaceful and quiet enjoyment, occupancy, and use of the Properties.
Section 2.03. Phased Application of Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, and in furtherance of the condition set forth in Section 2.01(c), the Parties acknowledge that the obligations of Lessee under this Lease with respect to each Property are intended to apply in phases corresponding to the development status of such Property (the Construction Period, the Transition Period (if any), and the Operating Period) as set forth in this Section 2.03. In the event of any conflict between this Section 2.03 and any other provision of this Lease, this Section 2.03 shall control.
(a) Construction Period Obligations. During the Construction Period, Lessee's obligations with respect to each Property shall be limited to: (i) payment of Equipment Storage Rent pursuant to Section 1.05 and the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum; (ii) performance of all construction obligations set forth in Article XVIII; (iii) maintenance of insurance required by Section 18.07; (iv) compliance with Environmental Laws as set forth in Section 8.03(a)(i)(A)–(G) and notification requirements under Section 8.03(b); (v) compliance with all representations and
warranties set forth in Article V; (vi) compliance with all assignment restrictions and structural provisions set forth in Articles XIII, XIV, XV, and XVII; (vii) waiver of Lessor's lien as set forth in Article XVI; and (viii) payment of real property taxes levied on the Property in its then-current state pursuant to Section 6.01(a), which amounts shall be treated as Construction Costs reimbursable by Lessor pursuant to Article XVIII.
(b) Transition Period Obligations. During the Transition Period for each Property, the following framework shall apply:
(i) Commencement of Operating Obligations. All provisions listed in Section 2.03(c) shall become effective as of the Base Rent Commencement Date, subject to the modifications set forth in this Section 2.03(b).
(ii) Continuation of Construction Obligations. Article XVIII shall continue in full force and effect during the Transition Period with respect to all punch-list items, Closing Deliverables, close-out activities, and any other construction work remaining after Substantial Completion (collectively, "Remaining Construction Work"). Lessee shall diligently prosecute all Remaining Construction Work to achieve Final Completion in accordance with Section 18.06 and this Section 2.03(b). The Parties' target for Final Completion for each Property shall be the date set forth in the applicable Completion Notice (the "Target Final Completion Date"), which date shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the Base Rent Commencement Date unless extended by mutual written agreement or by reason of Force Majeure.
(iii) Indemnification. During the Transition Period:
(A) Section 18.08 shall govern all claims arising from or relating to Remaining Construction Work.
(B) Section 10.01 shall govern all claims arising from Lessee's use and occupancy of the Property as a Permitted Facility during the Transition Period.
(iv) Insurance. During the Transition Period, Lessee shall maintain:
(A) The full operating-period insurance program required by Section 6.03 with respect to the Property, commencing on the Base Rent Commencement Date; and
(B) Such construction-period coverages as are reasonably necessary to cover Remaining Construction Work, including without limitation (1) builder's risk tail coverage or an endorsement extending the builder's risk policy through the Final Completion Date, insuring the completed and uncompleted portions of the Improvements for their full replacement cost; (2) commercial general liability coverage for ongoing construction operations in the amounts required by Section 18.07; and (3) contractor's pollution liability coverage if Remaining Construction Work includes activities that could result in a pollution event.
(v) Default Regime. During the Transition Period:
(A) Article XII shall govern all Events of Default relating to Operating Period obligations (including without limitation Base Rent payment, net lease obligations, operational maintenance, and insurance compliance under Section 6.03).
(B) Section 18.10 shall continue to govern all Construction Events of Default relating to Remaining Construction Work, including without limitation failure to complete punch-list items, failure to deliver Closing Deliverables, failure to achieve Final Completion by the Target Final Completion Date, and misapplication of Construction Funding received during the Transition Period.
(C) A Construction Event of Default during the Transition Period shall not constitute an Event of Default under Article XII, and an Event of Default under Article XII during the Transition Period shall not constitute a Construction Event of Default under Section 18.10, unless such default independently satisfies the criteria for both.
(vi) Construction Funding. Lessor shall continue to fund Construction Costs for Remaining Construction Work pursuant to Section 18.09 during the Transition Period, subject to the same draw request procedures and disbursing conditions applicable during the Construction Period. Equipment Storage Rent netting pursuant to the Commencement Date Memorandum shall not apply during the Transition Period (as Equipment Storage Rent is no longer payable).
(c) Operating Period Obligations. From and after the commencement of the Operating Period (which, for Properties with a Transition Period, occurs upon the Final Completion Date) for each Property, all obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall apply with respect to such Property without the modifications set forth in Section 2.03(b), including without limitation the full provisions of Articles IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(d) Default Regime. During the Construction Period, the events of default and remedies applicable to each Property shall be those set forth in Section 18.10. During the Transition Period, the dual default regime set forth in Section 2.03(b)(v) shall apply. From and after the commencement of the Operating Period, the events of default and remedies set forth in Article XII shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, entity-level Events of Default under Sections 12.01(a), 12.01(f), 12.01(i), 12.01(j), and 12.01(k) shall apply at all times regardless of the development status of any Property.
ARTICLE III
LEASE TERM; EXTENSION
Section 3.01. Lease Term; Property Term; Phasing. The initial term of this Lease ("Initial Term") shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall expire at midnight on the 15th anniversary thereof (the "Master Lease Expiration Date"), unless terminated sooner as provided in this Lease and as may be extended as provided herein. The time period during which this Lease shall actually be in effect, including any extension pursuant to Section 3.02, is referred to as the "Lease Term."
The term applicable to each individual Property, commencing on the Access Date for such Property and expiring on the date set forth in the applicable Real Property Schedule (as may be extended by any Extension Term exercised or deemed exercised with respect to such Property pursuant to Section 3.02), is referred to as the "Property Term." For each Property, the Property Term shall consist of the following sequential phases:
(a) "Construction Period" means the period commencing on the Access Date for such Property and ending on the Base Rent Commencement Date for such Property.
(b) "Transition Period" means the period, if any, commencing on the Base Rent Commencement Date for such Property and ending on the Final Completion Date for such Property, as evidenced by the Close-out Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 18.09(d). If the Base Rent Commencement Date and the Final Completion Date for a Property are the same date, there shall be no Transition Period for such Property.
(c) "Operating Period" means the period commencing on the Final Completion Date for such Property (or, if there is no Transition Period, on the Base Rent Commencement Date) and ending on the expiration of the Property Term for such Property.
Notwithstanding the Master Lease Expiration Date, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect through and until the expiration of the last-expiring Property Term, and during such period the Lease Term and such remaining Property Term(s) shall be coextensive. References in this Lease to the
"Lease Term" shall mean the Lease Term as defined herein, and references to the "Property Term" shall mean the Property Term for the applicable Property, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
Section 3.02. Extensions for Scheduled Property. Unless this Lease has expired or has been sooner terminated, or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods at the time any extension option is exercised, Lessee shall have the right and option (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the term of the Properties as set forth in the Real Property Schedule of the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum (each, an “Extension Term”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease then in effect.
Section 3.03. Notice of Exercise. Lessee may elect to exercise an Extension Option by delivering written notice to Lessor of its intention to do so no later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Property Term. If written election of any Extension Option is not received by Lessor by the applicable dates described above, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect until the end of such Property Term. Upon the request of Lessor or Lessee, the parties hereto will, at the expense of the requesting party, execute and exchange an instrument in recordable form setting forth the extension of the Lease Term in accordance with this Section 3.03.
Section 3.04. Removal of Personalty. At all times including upon the expiration of the applicable Property Term, Lessee may remove from the Properties all Personalty. Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal and shall leave all of the Properties clean and in good and working condition and repair inside and out, subject to normal wear and tear, casualty and condemnation.
Section 3.05 Right of First Refusal. During the Lease Term, if (a) Lessor receives and intends to accept a bona fide written offer to purchase one or more of the Properties or any portion of a Property, or (b) extends a bona fide written offer to sell one or more of the Properties or any portion of a Property (in each case, an “Offered Property”), Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of its intention prior to entering into any binding agreement with respect to the Offered Property (the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice shall specify the price, terms and conditions of Lessor's intended sale. The ROFR Notice shall constitute an offer by Lessor to sell its interest in the Offered Property to Lessee on the price and terms set forth in such notice. Lessee may accept such offer by written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) delivered to Lessor within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Acceptance Period”). If Lessee fails to deliver to Lessor the Acceptance Notice by the expiration of the Acceptance Period, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Property provided in this Section 3.05, and Lessor may thereafter sell the Offered Property upon substantially similar terms and conditions as those set forth in the ROFR Notice, at any time within one (1) year after the expiration of the Acceptance Period. If such sale does not close within such one (1) year period, Lessee’s rights of first refusal hereunder shall be revived, and all of the foregoing terms and conditions shall apply with respect to any applicable pending or subsequent offer to purchase the Offered Property.
Lessee’s rights under this Section 3.05 shall be recurring, shall apply to each and every offer throughout the Term and shall not be extinguished by any sale of the Offered Property. If Lessee delivers to Lessor an Acceptance Notice during the Acceptance Period, then the closing on the sale of the Offered Property from Lessor to Lessee shall occur (a) not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of the Acceptance Notice, and (b) for the purchase price and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in the ROFR Notice (excluding any terms and conditions relating to the buyer’s right to undertake any physical inspections of the Offered Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, Lessee’s right of first refusal shall not apply to the following transfers of Lessor (a) any non-arms-length transfer to an Affiliate, (b) any transfer to or for the benefit of a Lender or its designee, or (c) any transfer by virtue of a foreclosure or a Condemnation.
ARTICLE IV
RENT AND OTHER MONETARY OBLIGATIONS
Section 4.01. Monthly Rent. Subject to Section 2.03, during the Property Term for each Property, on or before the first Business Day of each calendar month, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in advance the Equipment Storage Rent or Base Monthly Rent then in effect for such Property (as applicable). During the Construction Period, Lessee shall pay Equipment Storage Rent in accordance with Section 1.05 and the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum. During the Transition Period and the Operating Period, Lessee shall pay Base Monthly Rent in accordance with this Article IV. If the Access Date or Base Rent Commencement Date (as applicable) is a date other than the first day of the month, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the applicable Rent, prorated by multiplying the applicable Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the month (including the Access Date or Base Rent Commencement Date) for which Rent is being paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such month. Prorated Rent shall be paid to Lessor within three (3) business days of the Access Date or Base Rent Commencement Date, as applicable.
Section 4.02. Adjustments. During the Operating Period for each Property, on the first Adjustment Date for such Property and on each Adjustment Date thereafter, the Base Annual Rent for such Property shall be increased by an amount equal to a percentage, as stipulated in the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum, multiplied by the Base Annual Rent in effect immediately prior to the Adjustment Date.
Section 4.03. Additional Rent. Lessee shall pay and discharge, as additional rent (“Additional Rent”), all sums of money required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease which are not specifically referred to as Rent. Subject to Lessee’s right to contest any Additional Rent, including as set forth at Section 6.01(b), Lessee shall pay and discharge any Additional Rent when the same shall become due, provided that amounts which are billed to Lessor or any third party, but not to Lessee, shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after Lessor’s demand for payment thereof or, if earlier, when the same are due. In no event shall Lessee be required to pay to Lessor any item of Additional Rent that Lessee is obligated to pay and has paid to any third party pursuant to any provision of this Lease.
Section 4.04. Rents to be Net to Lessor. Subject to Section 2.03, The Base Annual Rent payable hereunder shall be net to Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the Rent specified during the Property Term for each Property (commencing on the Base Rent Commencement Date), and all Costs and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Properties shall be performed and paid by Lessee from and after the Base Rent Commencement Date for the applicable Property. During the Construction Period, Lessee’s monetary obligations with respect to each Property shall be limited to those set forth in Section 2.03(a). Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Lessee shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease at its sole cost and expense. All Rent and other Monetary Obligations which Lessee is required to pay hereunder shall be the unconditional obligation of Lessee and shall be payable in full when due and payable, without notice or demand, and without any setoff, abatement, deferment, deduction or counterclaim whatsoever.
Section 4.05. ACH Authorization. Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a complete Authorization Agreement – Pre-Arranged Payments in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, together with a voided check for account verification, establishing arrangements whereby payments of the Base Monthly Rent are transferred by Automated Clearing House Debit initiated by Lessor from an account established by Lessee at a United States bank or other financial institution to such account as Lessor may designate. Lessee shall continue to pay all Base Monthly Rent by Automated Clearing House Debit unless otherwise directed by Lessor.
Section 4.06. Late Charges; Default Interest. Any delinquent payment made over five (5) Business Days after such payment was due shall, in addition to any other remedy of Lessor, incur a late charge of five percent (5%) (which late charge is intended to compensate Lessor for the cost of handling and processing such delinquent payment and should not be considered interest) and bear simple interest at the Default Rate, such interest to be computed from and including the date that is
thirty (30) days after such payment was due through and including the date of the payment; provided, however, in no event shall Lessee be obligated to pay a sum of late charge and interest higher than the maximum legal rate then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, any late charged assessed pursuant to this section shall not accrue interest or be capitalized into the principal for Default Rate purposes.
Section 4.07. Holdover. If Lessee remains in possession of any Property after the expiration of both the Lease Term and the Property Term for such Property, then at Lessor’s sole discretion, Lessee may be deemed a tenant on a month-to-month basis and shall continue to pay Rents and other Monetary Obligations in the amounts herein provided, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be automatically increased to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the last Base Monthly Rent payable under this Lease, and Lessee shall comply with all the terms of this Lease; provided that nothing herein nor the acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall be deemed a consent to such holding over. LESSEE SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, PROTECT AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES RESULTING FROM LESSEE’S FAILURE TO SURRENDER POSSESSION UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE TERM.
ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE
The representations and warranties of Lessee contained in this Article V are being made as of the Effective Date (and as of the date any Property is added to this Lease), except to the extent set forth in Section 5.05 below, to induce Lessor to enter into this Lease, and Lessor has relied, and will continue to rely, upon such representations and warranties. Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor as of the Effective Date as follows:
Section 5.01. Organization, Authority and Status of Lessee. Lessee has been duly organized or formed, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation and is qualified to do business in any jurisdiction where such qualification is required. All necessary action has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of this Lease and of the other documents, instruments and agreements provided for herein. Lessee is not, and if Lessee is a “disregarded entity,” the owner of such disregarded entity is not, a “nonresident alien,” “foreign corporation,” “foreign partnership,” “foreign trust,” “foreign estate,” or any other “person” that is not a “United States Person” as those terms are defined in the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Person who has executed this Lease on behalf of Lessee is duly authorized to do so. Except for any sublease permitted under Section 14.03, there is no lease or sublease affecting any Property other than this Lease.
Section 5.02. Enforceability. This Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms.
Section 5.03. Litigation. There are no suits, actions, proceedings or investigations pending, or to the best of its knowledge, threatened against or involving any Lessee Entity or the Properties before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority which might reasonably result in any Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.04. Absence of Breaches or Defaults. The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Lease and the documents, instruments and agreements provided for herein will not result in any breach of or default under any document, instrument or agreement to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee, the Properties or any of Lessee’s property is subject or bound, which has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.05. Compliance with OFAC Laws. None of the Lessee Entities, and to Lessee’s knowledge, no individual or entity owning directly or indirectly any interest in any of the Lessee Entities, is an individual or entity whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the OFAC Laws or is otherwise in violation of any of the OFAC Laws; provided, however, that the
representation contained in this sentence shall not apply to any Person to the extent such Person’s interest is in or through a U.S. Publicly Traded Entity. The representations in this Section 5.05 shall be true and correct at all times during the Lease Term.
Section 5.06. Solvency. There is no contemplated, pending or threatened Insolvency Event or similar proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, affecting Lessee or any Lessee Entity. Lessee does not have unreasonably small capital to conduct its business.
ARTICLE VI
TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; UTILITIES; INSURANCE
Section 6.01. Taxes.
(a) Payment. Subject to Section 2.03(a)(viii) and the provisions of Section 6.01(b) below, Lessee shall pay, prior to the earlier of delinquency or the accrual of interest on the unpaid balance, all taxes and assessments, including any that have accrued prior to the Effective Date hereof, of every type or nature assessed against or imposed upon the Properties, Lessee or Lessor related to or arising out of this Lease and the activities of the parties hereunder, including without limitation, (i) all taxes or assessments upon the Properties, or any part thereof and upon any personal property, trade fixtures and improvements located on the Properties, whether belonging to Lessor or Lessee, or any tax or charge levied in lieu of such taxes and assessments, including any fees or costs under any payment in lieu of payment or PILOT programs; (ii) all taxes, charges, license fees and or similar fees imposed by reason of the use of the Properties by Lessee; (iii) all excise, franchise, transaction, privilege, license, sales, use and other taxes upon the Rent or other Monetary Obligations hereunder, the leasehold estate of either party or the activities of either party pursuant to this Lease; and (iv) all franchise, privilege or similar taxes of Lessor calculated on the value of the Properties or on the amount of capital apportioned to the Properties. Notwithstanding anything in clauses (i) through (iv) to the contrary, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Lessor for any taxes based on the net income of Lessor.
(b) Right to Contest. Within thirty (30) days after each tax and assessment payment is required by this Section 6.01 to be paid, Lessee shall provide Lessor with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that taxes and assessments have been timely paid by Lessee. In the event Lessor receives a tax bill, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to forward said bill to Lessee within fifteen (15) days of Lessor’s receipt thereof. Lessee may, at its own expense, contest or cause to be contested (in the case of any item involving more than $10,000, after prior written notice to Lessor, which shall be given within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s determination to contest any matter as permitted herein), by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any above-described item or lien with respect thereto, provided that (i) neither the Properties nor any interest therein would be in any material danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iii) if and to the extent required by the applicable taxing authority and/or reasonably required by Lessor, Lessee posts a bond or takes other steps acceptable to such taxing authority and/or reasonably acceptable to Lessor that removes such lien or stays enforcement thereof; (iv) Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with copies of all notices received or delivered by Lessee and filings made by Lessee in connection with such proceeding; and (v) upon termination of such proceedings, it shall be the obligation of Lessee to pay the amount of any such tax and assessment or part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), interest, penalties or other liabilities in connection therewith. Lessor shall at the request of Lessee, execute or join in the execution of any instruments or documents necessary in connection with such contest or proceedings, but Lessor shall incur no cost or obligation thereby.
Section 6.02. Utilities. Subject to Section 2.03, Lessee shall contract, in its own name, for and pay when due all charges for the connection and use of water, gas, electricity, telephone, garbage collection, sewer use and other utility services supplied to each Property during the respective Property Term. During the Construction Period, temporary construction utility costs shall
be treated as Construction Costs eligible for reimbursement by Lessor pursuant to Article XVIII. During the Transition Period and the Operating Period, utility costs shall be operating expenses of Lessee. Under no circumstances shall Lessor be responsible for any interruption of any utility service unless such interruption is due to Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 6.03. Insurance.
(a) Coverage. From and after the Base Rent Commencement Date for each Property and throughout the remainder of the applicable Property Term, Lessee shall maintain, with respect to each such Property, at its sole expense, the types and amounts of insurance noted in subsections (i-vi), below. During the Construction Period for each Property, insurance obligations shall be governed exclusively by Section 18.07. During the Transition Period, Lessee shall maintain both the insurance required by this Section 6.03 and the Transition Period construction coverages required by Section 2.03(b)(iv).
(i) Insurance against loss or damage to real property and personal property under a “special form” insurance policy, which shall include coverage against all risks of direct physical loss, including but not limited to loss by fire, lightning, wind, terrorism, and other risks normally included in the standard ISO special form (and shall also include National Flood and Excess Flood insurance for any Property located in Flood Zone A or Flood Zone V, as designated by FEMA, or otherwise located in a flood zone area identified by FEMA as a 100-year flood zone or special hazard area, and earthquake insurance if any Property is located within a moderate to high earthquake hazard zone as determined by an approved insurance company set forth in Section 6.03(b)(x) below). Such policy shall also include soft costs, a joint loss agreement, coverage for ordinance or law covering the loss of value of the undamaged portion of the Properties, costs to demolish and the increased costs of construction if any of the improvements located on, or the use of, the Properties shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. Ordinance or law limits shall be in an amount equal to the full replacement cost for the loss of value of the undamaged portion of the Properties and no less than 25% of the replacement cost for costs to demolish and the increased cost of construction, or in an amount otherwise specified by Lessor.

Lessee shall obtain, maintain and comply with all required licenses and permits, both governmental and private, to use and operate the Properties as Permitted Facilities, the failure with which to obtain, maintain or comply would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(D) Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Properties or cause the Properties to be kept free and clear of all Environmental Liens, whether due to any act or omission of Lessee or any other Person.
(E) With respect to the Properties, Lessee shall not act or fail to act and take commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any other tenant, occupant, guest, customer or other user of the Properties from acting or failing to act, in each case with respect to any Release of Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances, in any way that (1) materially increases a risk to human health or the environment, (2) poses an unreasonable risk of harm to any Person or the environment (whether on or off any of the Properties), (3) has a Material Adverse Effect, (4) is contrary to any material reasonable requirement set forth in the insurance policies maintained by Lessee or Lessor and known to Lessee, (5) constitutes a public or private nuisance or constitutes waste, or (6) violates any Environmental Law or covenant, condition, agreement or easement applicable to the Properties.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.03 SHALL AFFECT LESSEE’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THIS LEASE.
(b) Notification Requirements. Except with respect to any Existing Environmental Conditions, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing upon Lessee obtaining actual knowledge of any of the following occurring or arising during the Lease Term (i) any Releases or Threatened Releases in, on, under or from any of the Properties other than in Permitted Amounts, or migrating towards any of the Properties; (ii) any material non-compliance with any Environmental Laws related to any of the Properties; (iii) any actual or potential Environmental Lien or material activity use limitation relating to the Properties; (iv) any required or proposed Remediation of environmental conditions relating to any of the Properties required by applicable Governmental Authorities; and (v) any written or oral notice or other communication of which Lessee becomes aware from any source whatsoever (including but not limited to a Governmental Authority) relating in any way to a Release of Hazardous Materials, Regulated Substances or from above or below ground storage tanks, or Remediation thereof at or on any of the Properties, other than in Permitted Amounts, possible material liability of any Person relating to any of the Properties pursuant to any Environmental Law, other material environmental conditions in connection with any of the Properties, or any actual or potential administrative or judicial proceedings in connection with anything referred to in this Section.

Any Cost so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be due from Lessee to Lessor.
(d) Indemnification. LESSEE SHALL, AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE, PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL COSTS OF REMEDIATION (WHETHER OR NOT PERFORMED VOLUNTARILY), ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, REGULATED SUBSTANCES, ABOVE OR BELOW GROUND STORAGE TANKS, OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS CONCERNING THE PROPERTIES, IN EACH CASE TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY OR FIRST RESULTING FROM ANY CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES ARISING DURING THE PROPERTY TERM FOR THE APPLICABLE PROPERTY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, LESSEE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH MATTER CAUSED BY LESSOR, ANY AFFILIATE OF LESSOR OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR RELATING TO AN EVENT ARISING OR FIRST OCCURRING AFTER THE LATER OF THE EXPIRATION OF THE PROPERTY TERM FOR SUCH PROPERTY OR THE DATE ON WHICH LESSEE OR ANY SUBLESSEE CEASES TO OCCUPY SUCH PROPERTY. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE FOR ANY REASON.
(e) Right of Entry. In the event that Lessor has a reasonable basis to believe that a material Release or a material violation of any Environmental Law has occurred at the Properties, Lessor and any other Person designated by Lessor, including but not limited to any receiver, any representative of a Governmental Authority, and any environmental consultant, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Properties at all reasonable times and upon prior reasonable advance written notice to Lessee to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of any Property and its use, including but not limited to conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lessor’s reasonable discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing, but in each case shall be reasonably related to the suspected Release. Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with and provide reasonable access to Lessor and any other Person designated by Lessor; provided, however, Lessor or any other Person designated by Lessor shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that such entry shall not unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s operation of use of the Properties. Any such assessment or investigation shall be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense if such assessment or investigation reveals that a Release or violation of any Environmental Law occurred in breach of this Lease.
(f) Survival. The obligations of Lessee and the rights and remedies of Lessor or Lessee under this Section 8.03 shall survive the expiration of the Property Term for each applicable Property and the termination, expiration and/or release of this Lease.

In the event of a Condemnation of all or substantially all of any of the Properties, and if as a result of such Condemnation: (i) access to the Property to and from the public right-of-way adjacent to the Property as of the Effective Date is permanently and materially impaired such that Lessee no longer has access to such right-of-way; (ii) there is insufficient parking to operate the Property as a Permitted Facility under applicable Laws; or (iii) the Condemnation includes a portion of the improvements such that the remaining portion is unsuitable for use as a Permitted Facility, as determined by Lessee in the exercise of good faith business judgment (each such event, a “Total Condemnation”), then, in such event:
(a) Partial Termination of Lease. On the date of the Total Condemnation, all obligations of either party hereunder with respect to the applicable Property shall cease and the Base Annual Rent shall be reduced as set forth in Section 11.03(c) below; provided, however, that Lessee’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property and Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and all other Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to such Property, and any other obligation of Lessee with respect to such Property arising or accruing due to an act or omission occurring prior to the date of termination, shall survive such termination. If the date of such Total Condemnation is other than the first day of a month, the Base Monthly Rent for the month in which such Total Condemnation occurs shall be apportioned based on the date of the Total Condemnation.
(b) Net Award. Subject to Section 11.07 below, Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire Net Award in connection with a Total Condemnation without deduction for any estate vested in Lessee by this Lease, and Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor all of its right, title and interest in and to every such Net Award and agrees that Lessee shall not be entitled to any Net Award or other payment for the value of Lessee’s leasehold interest in this Lease.
Section 11.03. Partial Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of a Condemnation which is not a Total Condemnation (each such event, a “Partial Condemnation”), or in the event of a Casualty:
(a) Net Awards. All Net Awards shall be paid to Lessor; provided, however, that a Net Award payable in the case of a Partial Condemnation shall be paid to Lessee.
(b) Continuance of Lease. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect upon the following terms:
(i) With respect to a Condemnation or Casualty event, there shall be no abatement of Rent or any other Monetary Obligations due under this Lease, except as provided for by Section 11.03(c), below.
(ii) Lessee shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute restoration of such Property to the same condition, as nearly as practicable, as prior to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty as approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgages and upon the written request of Lessee (accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such amount has been paid or is due and payable and is properly part of such costs, and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 7.02 in connection with the restoration), Lessor shall promptly make available in installments, subject to reasonable conditions for disbursement imposed by Lessor, an amount up to but not exceeding the amount of any Net Award received by Lessor with respect to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty. Prior to the disbursement of any portion of the Net Award with respect to a Casualty, Lessee shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of the payment of restoration expenses by Lessee up to the amount of the insurance deductible applicable to such Casualty. Lessor shall be entitled to keep any portion of the Net Award which may be in excess of
the cost of restoration, and Lessee shall bear all additional Costs of such restoration in excess of the Net Award.
(c) Rent. Upon removal of a Property pursuant to Section 11.02, Section 11.03, or Section 11.04 the Base Annual Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of Base Annual Rent attributable to such Property based on the purchase price paid by Lessor for each Property.
Section 11.04. Temporary Taking. In the event of a Condemnation of all or any part of any Property for a temporary use (a “Temporary Taking”) there shall be no abatement of any Rent or other Monetary Obligation and Lessee shall be entitled to the entire Net Award for a Temporary Taking. At the termination of any such Temporary Taking, Lessee will promptly commence and complete restoration of such Property at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.
Section 11.05. Adjustment of Losses. Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by Lessor and Lessee. Any Net Award relating to a Total Condemnation or a Partial Condemnation shall be adjusted by Lessor or, at Lessor’s election, Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section 11.05 to the contrary, if at the time of any Condemnation or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute Lessee’s claim, if any, for a Net Award on account of such Condemnation or such Casualty and to collect such Net Award and apply the same to the curing of such Event of Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper.
Section 11.06. Lessee Obligation in Event of Casualty. During all periods of time following a Casualty, Lessee shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the affected Property is secure and does not pose any risk of harm to any adjoining property and Persons (including owners or occupants of such adjoining property).
Section 11.07. Lessee Awards and Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Article XI, Lessee shall be entitled to claim and receive any award or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for the taking of any personal property owned by Lessee, any insurance proceeds with respect to any personal property owned by Lessee, the interruption of its business and moving expenses (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.03(a)(iv) above).
Section 11.08. Late Term Termination Right. If during the last year of the Property Term for any Property (assuming that Lessee has not exercised an Extension Option which will extend the Property Term for such Property upon the expiration of the then current Property Term), with respect to such Property, as the same may be extended, the Buildings with respect to any Property shall be damaged to the extent of twenty five percent (25%) or more of their insurable value (“Late Term Damaged Property”), then provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such casualty is covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee under Section 6.03, and such insurance is for the full replacement cost of the Property, Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease as to the Late Term Damaged Property only by notice given to Lessor within sixty (60) days of the damage or destruction. The termination shall become effective on the twentieth (20th) day after the giving of the notice of termination, but in no event earlier than the date Lessor receives from Lessee a payment in an amount equal to the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention pursuant to Lessee’s insurance, in which event (a) Base Annual Rent and other amounts paid or payable by Lessee hereunder shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the time of termination for the Late Term Damaged Property only, and (b) Lessee shall not be obligated to repair or restore any damage or destruction to the Late Term Damaged Property caused by the casualty except to the extent proceeds are expended in order to satisfy temporary safety measures to vacate the Property. All insurance proceeds and the amount of any insurance deductible or self-insurance retention (or an equivalent sum in the case of self-insurance) shall be paid to, and be the property of Lessor, provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to recover from the insurance proceeds the cost of any temporary safety measures undertaken by Lessee in order to vacate the Late Term Damaged
Property. Notwithstanding any termination of this Lease with respect to the Late Term Damaged Property, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the remaining Properties; provided, however, Base Annual Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 11.03(c). ALL INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE LATE TERM DAMAGED PROPERTY, AND ALL OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE LATE TERM DAMAGED PROPERTY ARISING DUE TO ANY ACT OR OMISSION OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO THE LATE TERM DAMAGED PROPERTY, SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO THE LATE TERM DAMAGED PROPERTY.
ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT, CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS,
REMEDIES AND MEASURE OF DAMAGES
Section 12.01. Event of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default by Lessee under this Lease (each, an “Event of Default”):
(a) if any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in this Lease is false in any material respect when made, or if Lessee renders any materially false statement or account when made;
(b) if any Base Monthly Rent due under this Lease is not paid when due and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Lessor of such failure; provided, however, that after the first (1st) notice of non-payment of Base Monthly Rent has been sent to Lessee in any twelve (12) month period, no further notice to Lessee shall be required within such 12-month period, with the result that an Event of Default shall occur immediately upon the failure of Lessee to pay any Base Monthly Rent within five (5) Business Days after such installment is due for the remainder of such 12- month period;
(c) if any Monetary Obligation other than Base Monthly Rent and other than as set forth in Section 12.01(d) is not paid when due and such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days or more after written notice from Lessor;
(d) subject to Lessee’s right to contest under Section 6.01(b), if Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any taxes, assessments or other charges the failure of which to pay will result in the imposition of a lien against any of the Properties and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice from Lessor of such failure;
(e) if Lessee abandons any Property;
(f) if there is an Insolvency Event affecting Lessee;
(g) if Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or obligations of Lessee in this Lease; provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any Monetary Obligation, does not place any Property or any rights or property of Lessor in immediate jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Lessee to promptly cure, all as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed, during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such thirty (30)-day period, which shall in no event exceed ninety (90) days after receiving notice of such failure from Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such failure within such ninety (90)-day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required;
(h) if a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by a court against Lessee which has a Material Adverse Effect, and in either case is not discharged or provision made for such discharge within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof;
(i) if Lessee shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;
(j) if the estate or interest of Lessee in any of the Properties shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within ninety (90) days after it is made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, any above-referenced Event of Default that occurs with respect to a particular Property or Properties shall apply solely to that Property or Properties scheduled under this Lease and shall in no event serve as a mechanism for cross-default of the Lease as a whole.
Section 12.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any Transaction Documents or such other notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessee, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively, or in any combination, all remedies available at Law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following:
(a) to terminate this Lease with respect to the Property or Properties to which the default pertains, whereupon Lessee’s right to possession of such Properties shall cease and this Lease, except as to Lessee’s liability, shall be terminated with respect to such Properties;
(b) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to (i) re-enter and take possession of the applicable Properties (or any part thereof), and, to the extent permissible, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the use and operation of the Properties, and (ii) expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Law shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. If Lessee shall, after default, voluntarily give up possession of the Properties to Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Properties, or both, such actions shall be deemed to be in compliance with Lessor’s rights and the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of the Lease. Lessor reserves the right following any re-entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate;
(c) to bring an action against Lessee for any damages sustained by Lessor or any equitable relief available to Lessor.
(d) to relet the applicable Properties or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease Term), at such rents and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting being applied to the Rent and other Monetary Obligations due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in its sole discretion, determine, which other Monetary Obligations include, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses, alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event it takes possession of the Properties including, but not limited to, by reletting the Properties. Lessor reserves the right following any re-entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice;
(e) after the termination of this Lease and except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law to accelerate and recover from Lessee all Rent and other Monetary Obligations due and owing and scheduled to become due and owing under this Lease both before and after the date of such breach
for the entire original scheduled Lease Term; provided, however, that the “accelerated rent” amount shall be reduced by the fair market rent amount Lessor reasonably expects to receive if the Properties were relet for the time period to which the “accelerated rent” applies, which “accelerated rent” amount (as so reduced by the fair market rent amount as aforesaid) shall be discounted to present value at a rate per annum equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of such “accelerated rent” determination (the “FMRV Offset”);
(f) to recover from Lessee all Costs paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced;
(g) to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, at Lessor’s sole option but without any obligation to do so, correct such breach or default and charge Lessee all reasonable Costs incurred by Lessor therein. Any sum or sums so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor. Any such acts by Lessor in correcting Lessee’s breaches or defaults hereunder shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of Lessor’s right to exercise any or all remedies set forth herein; and/or
(h) to seek any equitable relief available to Lessor, including, without limitation, the right of specific performance.
Section 12.03. Cumulative Remedies. All powers and remedies given by Section 12.02 to Lessor, subject to applicable Law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto. Every power and remedy given by this Section or by Law to Lessor may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor’s right in its sole judgment to discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of action undertaken by Lessor.
ARTICLE XIII
MORTGAGE, SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
Section 13.01. No Liens. Lessor’s interest in this Lease and/or the Properties shall not be subordinate to any liens or encumbrances placed upon the Properties by or resulting from any act of Lessee, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to require such subordination by Lessor.
Section 13.02. Subordination. This Lease at all times shall (but only if requested by Lessor) automatically be subordinate to the lien of any and all ground leases and Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon any of the Properties by Lessor, and Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any or all such ground leases and Mortgages as shall be desired by Lessor, or any present or proposed mortgagees under trust deeds, upon the condition that Lessee shall have the right to remain in possession of the Properties under the terms of this Lease, notwithstanding any default in any or all such ground leases or Mortgages, or after the foreclosure of any such Mortgages, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with a SNDA executed by each Lender holding a Mortgage (if Lessor requests Lessee to subordinate its interest in this Lease to such Mortgage), and Lessee agrees to promptly execute and return such SNDA to Lessor.
Section 13.03. Attornment. In the event any purchaser or assignee of any Lender at a foreclosure sale acquires title to any of the Properties, or in the event that any Lender or any purchaser or assignee otherwise succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be (a “Successor
Lessor”), and recognize the Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and, subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Lessor and Lessee, provided that the Successor Lessor shall only be liable for any obligations of Lessor under this Lease which accrue after the date that such Successor Lessor acquires title. The foregoing provision shall be self-operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments.
Section 13.04. Execution of Additional Documents. Although the provisions in this Article XIII shall be self-operative and no future instrument of subordination shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee, at no material cost to Lessee, shall execute and deliver such additional reasonable instruments as may be reasonably required for such purposes.
Section 13.05. Notice to Lender. Lessee shall give written notice to any Lender having a recorded lien upon any of the Properties or any part thereof of which Lessee has been notified of any breach or default by Lessor of any of its obligations under this Lease and give such Lender at least sixty (60) days beyond any notice period to which Lessor might be entitled to cure such default before Lessee may exercise any remedy with respect thereto.
ARTICLE XIV
ASSIGNMENT
Section 14.01. Assignment by Lessor. Lessor may, without prior consent of Lessee, enter into agreements in connection with the following: (a) the sale, assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, financing, re-financing, purchase or re-acquisition of all or a portion of the Properties, this Lease (and Lessor’s interest herein); or (b) a Securitization and related transactions. In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee (so long as Lessor and such purchaser or assignee notify Lessee in writing of such transfer and such purchaser or assignee expressly assumes in writing the obligations of Lessor hereunder from and after the date of such assignment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, both Lessor and any Successor Lessor shall be prohibited from entering into any agreements referenced in the first clause of this Section with any party that is a competitor to Lessee’s operations without first receiving written consent of Lessee, to be granted or withheld in Lessee’s sole discretion. At the request of Lessor, Lessee will execute such documents confirming the sale, assignment or other transfer and such other agreements as Lessor may reasonably request, provided that the same do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Lessee hereunder. Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale.
Section 14.02. Assignment by Lessee.
(a) Lessee shall not assign, transfer, convey, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest herein, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Lessor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Factors which Lessor shall take into account in determining whether to consent to a proposed assignment of this Lease shall include, but not be limited to, the proposed creditworthiness of the proposed assignee and the experience of the proposed assignee in operating the business proposed to be conducted at the Properties. At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Upon such assignment of this Lease pursuant to this Section 14.02 Lessee shall be relieved of its obligations respecting this Lease unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge or mortgage in violation of this Section 14.02 shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. Any consent to an assignment given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 14.02(a), Lessee shall have the right, without Lessor’s consent but upon prior written notice to Lessor as set forth in Section 14.02(c) at any one time or multiple times during the Term to:
(i) assign this Lease to an Affiliate of Lessee;
(ii) encumber, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise mortgage Lessee’s interest in the leasehold estate created by this Lease, subject to the terms of Section 14.04 below;
(iii) merge or consolidate Lessee with or into any other entity; or
(iv) assign this Lease in whole but not in part to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee.
(c) As a condition to any assignment or transfer of this Lease by Lessee (including but not limited to a merger or consolidation of Lessee), (A) all representations and warranties set forth in Article V of this Lease shall be true and correct and shall be deemed to be made by the proposed assignee or transferee as of the date of the proposed assignment, (B) Lessee shall give Lessor at least 10 days prior written notice of the proposed assignee or transferee, together with a structure chart showing the proposed owner of all direct and indirect interests in the proposed transferee or assignee, financial information about the proposed assignee (such as balance sheets and statements of revenues and expenses and the business conducted by such proposed assignee or transferee, and information concerning the proposed management of the proposed assignee, (C) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and after giving effect to the proposed assignment or transfer, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no event or omission shall have occurred which would (with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both) constitute an Event of Default, and (D) all Rent then due and payable shall have been previously paid by Lessee.
(d) No assignment or transfer of this Lease by Lessee, except where Lessor has consented to such assignment in accordance with Section 14.02(a), shall release Lessee from any obligations pursuant to this Lease unless agreed to by Lessor in its sole discretion, except that Lessee shall also be released from its obligations pursuant to this Lease arising due to acts and omissions arising after the date of the assignment or transfer of this Lease if there is an assignment of this Lease in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee.
Section 14.03. Assignment and Subletting. Lessee may assign, sublet or enter into co-occupancy agreements with respect to the Properties, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that no assignment, sublease, or co-occupancy arrangement shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Lessee or impose additional obligations onto Lessor under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, any assignee, sublessee, co-occupant, or transferee of Lessee shall be entitled to the same quiet enjoyment and non-disturbance rights as Lessee, subject to occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.
Section 14.04. Leasehold Mortgage. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee, its successors, sublessees, and/or assigns shall have the right to grant a leasehold mortgage on Lessee’s leasehold interest in the Properties. Any leasehold mortgagee shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any SNDA granted to Lessee hereunder, but (i) any such leasehold mortgage otherwise shall be in all respects subject and subordinate to Lessor’s interest in this Lease and to any Mortgage granted by Lessor, and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such Mortgage, whether such Mortgage or any renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement or extension thereof, is granted by Lessor prior or subsequent to any leasehold mortgage granted by Lessee; and (ii) the leasehold mortgage shall attach to and be a lien on Lessee’s leasehold interest in the Property only, shall convey no interest or rights in and to Lessor’s interest in the Lease or the Property which are greater than Lessee’s interest or rights in the Lease or the Property, and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee. Lessor agrees that, at the request of Lessee and the mortgagee under the leasehold mortgages, Lessor will enter into an agreement with the mortgagee pursuant to which Lessor (x) will afford such mortgagee the opportunity to cure any Event of Default by Lessee
during the applicable cure period provided to Lessee under this Lease, and (y) will agree that, in the event this Lease is terminated or rejected, Lessor will enter into a replacement lease with such mortgagee (or the party acquiring Lessee’s interest under this Lease by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar conveyance) in the form of this Lease.

ARTICLE XVI
WAIVER OF LESSOR’S LIEN
Section 16.01. Waiver of Lessor’s Lien. It is understood and agreed that all personal property, trade fixtures, inventory, and equipment now or hereafter installed by Lessee at the Property, but excluding any replacement equipment installed by Lessee pursuant to its obligations under the Lease or any property owned by Lessor (collectively, the “Lessee’s Personal Property”) is or may be leased by Lessee or purchased by Lessee from a lessor or seller, or otherwise pledged to a third party (collectively, “Third Party”). Lessor agrees that all of Lessee’s Personal Property, now or hereafter located upon a Property and owned by Lessee or any Third Party, and regardless of the method in which such Lessee’s Personal Property is attached or affixed to the Property, shall not be deemed a fixture of the Property and shall be and shall remain the property of Lessee or such Third Party. Lessee or any Third Party shall have the right to remove Lessee’s Personal Property from the Property at any time; provided however, that if such removal shall injure or damage the Property, Lessee or any Third Party shall repair the damage and place the Property in the same condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) as it would have been if such Lessee’s Personal Property had not been installed. Lessor agrees that in the event a Third Party or other party having a security interest in Lessee’s Personal Property declares a default with respect to the underlying contract, the Third Party shall have 30 days (or such longer time period as is agreed upon between Lessor and such Third Party) to remove Lessee’s Personal Property from the Property, and without liability to Lessor.
Lessor hereby waives its rights, statutory or otherwise, to any lien on or rights in Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessor shall, upon written request of Lessee, execute, or cause to be executed, and delivered to the Lessee, within ten (10) Business Days after said request from Lessee, a commercially reasonable waiver of Lessor’s lien or mortgage lien on all of Lessee’s Personal Property, in substantially the form attached hereto at Exhibit D (“Landlord’s Waiver”).
ARTICLE XVII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 17.01. Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty beyond the control of the party obligated to perform (each, a “Force Majeure Event”) shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, expressly excluding, however, the obligations imposed upon Lessee with respect to Rent and other Monetary Obligations to be paid hereunder.
Section 17.02. No Merger. There shall be no merger of this Lease nor of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in or ownership of any of the Properties by reason of the fact that the same person, corporation, firm or other entity may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created by this Lease or any interest in this Lease or in such leasehold estate, and (b) the fee estate or ownership of any of the Properties or any interest in such fee estate or ownership. No such merger shall occur unless and until all persons, corporations, firms and other entities having any interest in (i) this Lease or the leasehold estate created by this Lease, and (ii) the fee estate in or ownership of the Properties or any part thereof sought to be merged shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.
Section 17.03. Interpretation. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and warrant to each other that each has been represented by independent counsel and has executed this Lease after being fully advised by said counsel as to its effect and significance. This Lease shall be interpreted and construed in a fair and impartial manner without regard to such factors as the party which prepared the instrument, the relative bargaining powers of the parties or the domicile of any party. Whenever in this Lease any words of obligation or duty are used, such words or expressions shall have the same force and effect as though made in the form of a covenant.

(e) If Substantial Completion is not achieved by the scheduled Substantial Completion date, unless such failure is due to a failure by Lessor to provide or pay Construction Funding when due or other act or omission of Lessor, then from and after such scheduled Substantial Completion Date, all interest (including any default interest), lender-required fees, extension fees, unused commitment fees, lender legal and administrative costs, real estate taxes, and insurance premiums, and any other costs or expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the scheduled Substantial Completion Date shall be for the sole account of Lessee and shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after written demand and as such amounts accrue.

(d)Lessee materially breaches any representation, warranty, or obligation relating to the design, construction, or installation of the Improvements, and fails to cure such breach for more than thirty (30) days after Lessee has received written notice thereof from Lessor, or if such breach or failure is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) days, such period shall be extended for such longer time as is reasonably necessary (not to exceed ninety (90) days), provided that Lessee has commenced to cure such breach or failure within such period of thirty (30) days and is actively, diligently and in good faith proceeding with continuity to remedy such breach or failure. Then, in any such event, Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease, (i) continue this Lease with respect to the applicable Property or Properties and pursue one or more claims for the damages incurred by Lessor as a result of such Construction Event of Default; and/or (ii) require Lessee to exercise its rights and remedies under any relevant Construction Contract, including its rights to terminate such Construction Contract and replace the Contractor.
Lessee and Lessor knowingly waive any right to recover punitive, consequential, special, or indirect damages from the other party and any such party’s direct and indirect members, shareholders, partners, officers, directors, employees agents, and its successors or assigns with respect to any matter arising out of or in connection with any Construction Event of Default or any document contemplated herein or related hereto. The waiver by Lessee and Lessor of any right they may have to seek punitive, consequential, special and indirect damages has been negotiated by the parties hereto and is an essential aspect of their bargain.
Section 18.11. Construction Period Casualty
(a) This Section 18.11 shall govern exclusively with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation occurring during the Construction Period. Article XI shall not apply during the Construction Period.
From and after the Operating Period, Article XI shall govern and this Section 18.11 shall have no further application.
(b) Upon a Casualty or Condemnation during the Construction Period, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor pursuant to Section 11.01 and, unless a termination right is exercised under Section 18.11(e) or (f), shall promptly reconstruct the damaged Improvements in substantial accordance with the Plans and Specifications (as reasonably modified to account for the event), using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize schedule delay.
(c) All proceeds from any builder's risk policy shall be paid to Lessor and disbursed to Lessee for reconstruction subject to the draw request procedures of Section 18.09(b). Lessee shall bear any applicable deductible or self-insured retention. Within forty-five (45) days after the Casualty, Lessee shall deliver a revised Construction Budget and schedule. If reconstruction costs exceed builder's risk proceeds: (i) cost increases attributable to labor or material escalation shall be treated as a Construction Budget modification subject to Lessor's consent under Section 18.08 and, if approved, funded as additional Construction Costs under Section 18.09; (ii) costs attributable to underinsurance shall be borne by Lessee; and (iii) all other excess costs shall be allocated by good-faith negotiation.
(d) The construction schedule (including the scheduled Substantial Completion date and Anticipated Base Rent Commencement Date noted in the applicable Commencement Date Memorandum) shall be extended by the period reasonably necessary for reconstruction. Equipment Storage Rent shall continue during such extension, and the Escalation Formula shall apply based on the revised Construction Budget.
(e) Lessee's Termination Right. If (i) the Casualty destroys fifty percent (50%) or more of the Improvements under construction (measured by the percentage of the Construction Budget expended as of the Casualty date), and (ii) Lessee determines in good faith that reconstruction is not feasible within a commercially reasonable timeframe or cost, Lessee may terminate this Lease with respect to the affected Property by notice delivered within sixty (60) days after the Casualty. Upon such termination: (A) Equipment Storage Rent shall cease as of the Casualty date; (B) all Proceeds and the deductible amount shall be paid to Lessor; (C) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor all Assigned Rights for such Property; (D) Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for all unreimbursed Construction Costs and the proportional Developer Fee within thirty (30) days after Lessee's final draw request; and (E) this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property and shall continue for all remaining Properties.
(f) Lessor's Termination Right. If the conditions in Section 18.11(e)(i) are satisfied and Lessee does not elect to terminate within the sixty (60)-day period, Lessor may terminate with respect to the affected Property by notice delivered within thirty (30) days thereafter, with the consequences of Section 18.11(e)(A) through (E) applying; provided that Lessor shall also reimburse Lessee for documented, reasonable demobilization costs.
(g) Partial Casualty. If a Construction Period Casualty damages less than fifty percent (50%) of the Improvements (measured as in Section 18.11(e)(i)), neither Party shall have a termination right, and Lessee shall reconstruct pursuant to Sections 18.11(b) through (d).
(h) Condemnation. This Section 18.11 applies to Construction Period Condemnations, with the Net Award substituted for builder's risk proceeds. The 50% threshold shall be measured by the portion of the Property (by area) taken or rendered unusable relative to the total area in the Plans and Specifications.
(i) Survival. Lessee's indemnification obligations under Section 18.08 with respect to a Property terminated under this Section 18.11, and all obligations arising from acts or omissions prior to the termination date, shall survive.
