THIRD FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

AND

AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS THIRD FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 14, 2003 by and among NATIONAL EQUIPMENT SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each of the parties identified as a Subsidiary Guarantor on the signature pages hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), each of the financial institutions identified as a Lender on the signature pages hereto (the “Lenders”), and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (formerly First Union National Bank), as agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined).

RECITALS

A. The Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent are party to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 6, 1999, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to date (the “Credit Agreement”).

B. The Borrower defaulted under Section 7.1(d) of the Credit Agreement by failing to timely deliver the Borrowing Base report for the periods ending December 31, 2002 and January 31, 2003, within five Business Days after it was due on January 15, 2003 and on February 15, 2003, respectively (collectively, the “7.1(d) Default”) (provided, however, the Borrower subsequently delivered such reports).

C. The Borrower previously defaulted by representing that the annual financial statements delivered for fiscal years 1999 and 2000 and various quarterly financial statements delivered for fiscal quarters for years 1999, 2000 and portions of 2001 complied with Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement (provided, however, that the Borrower subsequently has delivered restated annual financial statements for fiscal years 1999 and 2000 that it represents do comply with said Section 6.1) (the “6.1 Default”).

D. The Borrower defaulted under Section 6.21 of the Credit Agreement by delivering Borrowing Base Certificates for the periods ending October 31, 2002, and November 30, 2002, which erroneously included as Rental Equipment in the Borrowing Base items that were not Rental Equipment (the “6.21 Default”).

E. The Borrower defaulted under Section 7.10(b) of the Credit Agreement by delivering an Equipment Appraisal of the Orderly Liquidation Value of Rental Equipment which erroneously included items other than Rental Equipment (the “7.10(b) Default”).

F. Based upon the Borrower’s internal financial statements, the Borrower’s Notice to the Agent under Section 7.1(i) of the Credit Agreement dated February 3, 2003, and the Borrower’s Notice to the Agent under Section 7.1(i) of the Credit Agreement dated May 14,

2003, the following Events of Default also occurred under Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Financial Covenant Defaults”):

(i) failing to maintain the required Interest Coverage Ratio required by Section 7.11(a) for the quarter ending December 31, 2002 and the quarter ending March 31, 2003;

(ii) exceeding the maximum Total Debt Leverage Ratio in violation of Section 7.11(b) for the quarter ending December 31, 2002 and the quarter ending March 31, 2003;

(iii) exceeding the maximum Senior Debt Leverage Ratio in violation of Section 7.11(c) for the quarter ending December 31, 2002 and the quarter ending March 31, 2003;

(iv) failing to maintain the required Consolidated Net Worth required by Section 7.11(d) for the quarter ending December 31, 2002 and the quarter ending March 31, 2003;

(v) failing to maintain the required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio required by Section 7.11(e) for the quarter ending December 31, 2002 and the quarter ending March 31, 2003; and

(vi) failing to maintain the required Interest-Expense Coverage Ratio required by Section 7.11(f) for the quarter ending December 31, 2002 and the quarter ending March 31, 2003.

G. The Borrower defaulted under Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement by failing to execute and deliver a Blocked Account Agreement or other similar agreement satisfactory to the Agent as required therein for all deposit and other accounts of the Consolidated Parties, which default has not been fully remedied as of the date of this Agreement (the “8.15 Default”) (provided, however, the Borrower subsequently delivered or caused to be delivered all but three (3) of such required agreements).

H. The above-referenced 7.1(d) Default, 6.1 Default, 6.21 Default, 7.10(b) Default, 8.15 Default and Financial Covenant Defaults resulted in corresponding defaults by the Borrower under Section 5.2(b), Section 5.2(d), Section 5.2(f), Section 6.6, Section 7.3, Section 7.8 and the last sentence of Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Resulting Defaults”).

I. The Borrower defaulted under Sections 9, 10, 14, 19 and 20 of the Post Closing Agreement dated December 31, 2001 (the “Post Closing Agreement”) and subsequently remedied these defaults, and the Borrower also defaulted under Sections 3 and 16 of the Post Closing Agreement, which defaults have not been fully remedied as of the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “PCA Defaults”).

J. Collectively, the 7.1(d) Default, the 6.1 Default, the 6.21 Default, the 7.10(b) Default, the 8.15 Default, the Financial Covenant Defaults, the Resulting Defaults and the PCA Defaults are referred to herein as the “Acknowledged Events of Default.”

K. As a result of the Borrower’s failure to maintain Availability equal to or greater than $10,000,000 under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent is required to issue certain instructions for the daily sweep of funds into the Wachovia Account, and such instructions constitute a Cash Management Event under Section 3.16 of the Credit Agreement.

L. The Agent, the Lenders and the Credit Parties entered into (i) that certain Forbearance Agreement (the “Original Forbearance Agreement”) dated as of January 23, 2003 with respect to certain of the Acknowledged Event of Defaults effective through March 14, 2003 and that certain Amendment No. 8 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 31, 2003 (“Amendment No. 8”) effective through March 14, 2003 and (ii) that certain Second Forbearance Agreement and Amendment No. 9 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”) dated as of March 14, 2003 with respect to certain of the Acknowledged Event of Defaults effective through May 14, 2003.

M. The Credit Parties have requested that the Agent and the Lenders (1) continue to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies arising from the Acknowledged Events of Default until June 15, 2003 (the “Forbearance Termination Date”) and (2) extend the effectiveness of the amendments provided pursuant to the Second Forbearance Agreement until the Forbearance Termination Date. The Credit Parties also have requested that the Agent continue to forbear from issuing instructions under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement until the Forbearance Termination Date.

N. The Agent and the Lenders have agreed to such forbearance, but only on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

O. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Lenders are willing to amend such provisions, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Estoppel and Acknowledgments. As of May 12, 2003, the outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans was no less than $416,855,889.32, the outstanding amount of LOC Obligations was no less than $9,216,000, and the outstanding principal balance of Term Loans was no less than $70,000,000, which amounts constitute valid and subsisting obligations of the Credit Parties to the Lenders that are not subject to any credits, offsets, defenses, claims, counterclaims or adjustments of any kind. The Credit Parties acknowledge and affirm their obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Parties also acknowledge that: (a) as a result of the Acknowledged Events of Default and pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement, the

Lenders have no further obligation to extend credit under the Credit Agreement; (b) as a result of the Acknowledged Events of Default and pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement, interest is accruing on the Loans at the Default Rate from and after January 23, 2003; and (c) the Agent has communicated to the Credit Parties its present intention to issue instructions under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement promptly upon the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event.

2. Agent’s Acknowledgement of Notice Under Section 7.1(i). The Agent acknowledges that the Credit Parties have provided the Agent written notice of the Acknowledged Events of Default sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Section 7.1(i) of the Credit Agreement.

3. Forbearance and Forbearance Termination Event. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and until the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event, the Lenders will forbear from (x) exercising their rights and remedies arising as a result of the Acknowledged Events of Default, except for the right to send a blockage notice to the trustee for the Senior Subordinated Notes and to block payments on or with respect to such Senior Subordinated Notes, and (y) issuing instructions under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement. The term “Forbearance Termination Event” means the date of the earliest to occur of: (a) any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document other than the Acknowledged Events of Default, (b) a breach by any Credit Party of any term of this Agreement, and (c) the Forbearance Termination Date. Nothing set forth herein or contemplated hereby is intended to constitute an agreement by the Agent or the Lenders to forbear from the exercise of any of the rights and remedies available to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (all of which rights and remedies are hereby expressly reserved by the Agent and the Lenders) upon and after the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent will continue to proceed with preparations to implement a Cash Management Event, and the Credit Parties will cooperate fully with the Agent in making those preparations.

4. Borrower’s Deliveries to Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent each of the following by each of the specified deadlines:

(a) The Borrower has delivered to the Agent on May 1, 2003 the projections of the Borrower’s weekly cash flow from operations for the period from and including April 26 2003 to and including July 26, 2003, attached as Exhibit 4(a) hereto. Commencing on Thursday, May 15, 2003, and continuing on each successive Thursday thereafter, through and including June 15, 2003, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent (i) a reconciliation report for the Borrower’s weekly operations concluding on the previous Friday, setting forth a comparison of the Borrower’s projected cash flow from operations for that week against the actual cash flow from operations for that week and (ii) the daily balances on deposit in the Wachovia Concentration Account for that week.

(b) As soon as possible and in any event no later than Friday, May 16, 2003, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the Borrowing Base Certificate for the period ending April 30, 2003, together with supporting detail as required by the Credit Agreement.

(c) On or prior to Monday, May 26, 2003, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the final term sheets for the proposed restructuring of the Indebtedness of the Consolidated Parties, including the exchange of Senior Subordinated Notes for equity of the Borrower, and the investment of new cash equity in the Borrower, if any, and if available, any written response from the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and/or prospective equity investors to such term sheets.

(d) The Borrower shall cause FTI to deliver to the Agent and the Lenders the “FTI Performance Update” for April 2003 by not later than Friday, June 6, 2003. Delivery of the “FTI Performance Update” for such month shall satisfy the Borrower’s delivery requirements pursuant to Sections 7.1(n) and (o) of the Credit Agreement for such month.

(e) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such additional documents, financial information, reports and/or budgets as the Agent shall request.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any breach of the requirements of this Section 4 shall not constitute a Forbearance Termination Event unless and until the Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall have notified the Borrower that such breach has resulted in a Forbearance Termination Event.

5. Compliance with Borrowing Base, Etc. After giving effect to this Agreement, the sum of the Revolving Obligations and outstanding Term Loan shall not exceed the Borrowing Base at any time following the date hereof.

6. Payment of Interest. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender on May 14, 2003 all interest on outstanding Eurodollar Loans accrued through such date. All other interest on the Loans shall be paid as the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

7. Excess Cash.

(a) Pursuant to Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement, no cash of the Credit Parties shall be held in any account which is not subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, except as approved by the Agent. In the ordinary course, all cash in any such account shall be promptly transferred to and maintained in the National Cash Concentration Account with Wachovia Bank, National Association, Account Number: (005) 2000014799101 (the “Wachovia Concentration Account”) or such other account as may be approved by the Agent.

(b) At any time that cash on deposit in the Wachovia Concentration Account exceeds the Excess Cash Limit (as defined below) for a period of five consecutive Business Days, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on the first Business Day immediately following such five consecutive Business Day an amount equal to the

average amount by which such cash exceeded the Excess Cash Limit over the course of such five Business Day period (the “Excess Cash Funds”). For purposes hereof, the Excess Cash Limit shall mean $8,000,000. The Agent shall apply such Excess Cash Funds to the pro rata payment of (i) the Revolving Loans which shall cause a corresponding, permanent reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) the Term Loans.

8. Bi-weekly Expenditures. The aggregate bi-weekly expenditures of the Consolidated Parties (the “Bi-weekly Expenditures”) shall not exceed for any applicable bi-weekly period occurring during the term of this Forbearance Agreement, commencing with the two-week period beginning on May 11, 2003 and ending on Saturday, May 24, 2003 (each, a “Bi-weekly Period”), the sum of (a) the aggregate budgeted amount (the “Bi-weekly Budgeted Amount”) set forth in the corresponding Bi-weekly Expenditure Budget (as defined below) plus (b) 15% of such Bi-weekly Budgeted Amount; provided, however, that any amount permitted to be expended up to the Bi-weekly Expenditure Budget in any Bi-weekly Period (excluding any amount carried forward from a previous Bi-weekly Period as permitted by this proviso), if not expended in such Bi-weekly Period for which it is permitted may be carried over for expenditure in the next following Bi-weekly Period. For purposes hereof, the Bi-weekly Expenditures of the Consolidated Parties shall be measured based on the amount of checks of, and debits authorized by, the Consolidated Parties which have been cleared for payment in the applicable Bi-weekly Period and “Bi-weekly Expenditure Budget” shall mean the Cash Disbursement Budget for such Bi-weekly Period set forth in Exhibit 8 hereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any breach of the requirements of this Section 8 shall not constitute a Forbearance Termination Event unless and until the Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall have notified the Borrower that such breach has resulted in a Forbearance Termination Event.

9. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Credit Agreement is amended as follows as of December 31, 2002 with such amendments terminating on the Amendment Termination Date in accordance with this Section 9. Any Event of Default under Section 3.3(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement arising from the failure to make the mandatory prepayment on the Loans required immediately upon delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificates for the respective periods ending December 31, 2002, January 31, 2003, February 28, 2003 and March 31, 2003 after giving effect to this Agreement, shall be deemed not to have occurred, but only for the term of this Agreement. Except as so amended, the Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents shall continue in full force and effect. On the Amendment Termination Date, the amendments in this Section 9 shall be of no further force and effect.

(a) The definition of “Amendment Termination Date” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Amendment Termination Date” means the earlier to occur of June 15, 2003 and the date of occurrence of any Event of Default under this Credit Agreement other than an Acknowledged Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Forbearance and Amendment Agreement).

(b) The definition of “Forbearance and Amendment Agreement” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Forbearance and Amendment Agreement” means the Third Forbearance Agreement and Amendment No. 10 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 14, 2003 by and among the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.

(c) The definition of “Borrowing Base” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Borrowing Base” means, as of any day, an amount equal to the sum of (1) eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate face amount of Eligible Accounts Receivable, plus (2) fifty percent (50%) of the net book value (determined at the lower of cost or market) of Eligible Parts and Supplies Inventory, plus (3) eighty percent (80%) of the Orderly Liquidation Value of the Serialized Eligible Rental Equipment, plus (4) fifty-six percent (56%) of the net book value of the Non-Serialized Eligible Rental Equipment, plus (5) eighty percent (80%) of the Delivered Cost of Eligible Equipment Held For Resale, in each case as set forth in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(d), plus (6) an amount equal to $99,700,000 through and including the Amendment Termination Date, and thereafter, $-0- (provided, that the foregoing amounts shall be reduced by an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount by which the Net Cash Proceeds received for any Material Asset Disposition exceed the value included in the calculation of the most recently delivered Borrowing Base associated with the assets being disposed of), minus (7) an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes, minus (8) reserves established by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the advance rate on the Non-Serialized Eligible Rental Equipment shall be readjusted periodically based on each new Equipment Appraisal thereof to equal the product (calculated as a percentage) of (x) the ratio of (1) the Orderly Liquidation Value of the Non-Serialized Eligible Rental Equipment to (2) the net book value of the Non-Serialized Eligible Rental Equipment multiplied by (y) eighty percent (80%). For the purposes of this definition, “Material Asset Disposition” means an Asset Disposition the Net Cash Proceeds of which are in excess of $5,000,000.

(d) The definition of “Asset Disposition” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clauses (iii) and (v) thereof.

10. Agent’s Counsel’s Employment of Consultant. The Agent’s counsel has engaged Alvarez & Marsal, Inc. (“A&M”), to serve as a consultant and financial advisor with regard to analyzing and examining various aspects of the Credit Parties’ business. The Credit Parties will

provide A&M reasonable access to all business records and appropriate personnel (including the Credit Parties’ accountants, auditors, consultants and financial advisors, and including FTI Consulting, Inc.

From time to time, as reasonably requested by the Agent, the Borrower will make available to the Agent, the Lenders and/or A&M appropriate representatives of FTI to review and discuss with the Agent, the Lenders and/or A&M the analyses, findings, recommendations and reports of FTI.

In furtherance of the Agent’s implementation of Cash Management Services, the Borrower agrees to complete promptly its analysis of the number and location of lockboxes and collection accounts required to implement effective cash management for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
