Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Shares acquired upon vesting of performance based RSUs. Each vested RSU converts into 200% of one share of McGrath RentCorp common stock.
(2)	20% vests on first anniversary of grant date; 5% vests each anniversary quarter thereafter.
(3)	The RSUs vest 60% at the end of the three-year performance period if the performance goal is satisfied; then 20% vests each anniversary thereafter. The conversion price of the RSUs was based on the closing price of McGrath RentCorp common stock on February 29, 2016 and therefore such date is determined to be the date exercisable.
(4)	Of the 5,723 shares reported, Mr. Buckland has voting and dispositive powers over 2,803 shares. He has voting powers over the remaining shares with the dispositive powers for such shares being held by his former spouse pursuant to the terms of a domestic order.
(5)	Forfeiture of performance based RSUs awarded on 2/25/2013.
(6)	The RSUs are subject to a performance based vesting component at the end of a three-year performance period.
