(1) The restricted stock unit shall vest as follows: 33% on the first annual anniversary of the grant; 33% on the second annual anniversary of the grant; and 34% on the third annual anniversary of the grant.

(2) Unless earlier forfeited under the terms of the performance based RSU, each RSU vests and converts into no less than 50% and no more than 200% of one share of McGrath RentCorp common stock. The RSUs vest 100% at the end of the three-year performance period if the performance goal is satisfied.
(3) The restricted stock unit vests 20% on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested. Each unit represents a right to receive one share of common stock or an amount equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock underlying the unit on the vesting date.
