With products and services including uniforms, mats, mops, restroom supplies, first aid and safety products, fire extinguishers and testing, and safety training, Cintas helps customers get Ready for the Workday®.

In the early 1970’s, Cintas acquired the family industrial laundry business. Over the years, Cintas developed additional products and services that complemented its core uniform business and broadened the scope of products and services available to its customers.
Cintas’ reportable operating segments are the Uniform Rental and Facility Services operating segment and the First Aid and Safety Services operating segment. The Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment consists of the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments, including flame resistant clothing, mats, mops and shop towels and other ancillary items. In addition to these rental items, restroom cleaning services and supplies and the sale of items from our catalogs to our customers on route are included within this reportable operating segment. The First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment consists of first aid and safety products and services.

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES
The debt securities offered by this prospectus will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Cintas No. 2. The debt securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Cintas Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors. The debt securities will be issued under an indenture among us, Cintas Corporation, the subsidiary guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as trustee. A copy of the indenture has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indenture. The following does not restate the indenture in its entirety. You should read the provisions of the indenture, including the defined terms, for information that may be important to you as the indenture, and not this description, defines the rights of holders of debt securities. You should also read the particular terms of any series of debt securities, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and may be different from the disclosure in this prospectus. Copies of the indenture may be obtained from Cintas or the trustee under the indenture.
For purposes of this “Description of Senior Debt Securities” section, “Cintas” shall mean Cintas Corporation and shall not include Cintas No. 2 or the subsidiary guarantors.
Capitalized terms used in this “Description of Senior Debt Securities” section and not otherwise defined in this prospectus are defined under “—Certain Definitions” below.
General
The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under it and provides that debt securities may be issued in one or more series, in such form or forms, with such terms and up to the aggregate principal amount, that we may authorize from time to time. The indenture gives us broad authority to set the particular terms of each series of debt securities issued thereunder, including, without limitation, the right to modify certain of the terms contained in the indenture. Our board of directors, or an authorized committee thereof, shall establish, or authorize the establishment of, the terms of each series of debt securities, and such terms will be set forth or determined in the manner provided in one or more resolutions of our board of directors or by a supplemental indenture or officers’ certificate. All debt securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of any holder, for issuances of additional debt securities of that series.
The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities will describe the following terms, where applicable:
•the title of the debt securities;
•the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities will be sold and, if applicable, the method of determining the price;
•any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;
•the maturity date or dates;
•the date or dates on which principal is payable;
•the interest rate or the method of computing the interest rate;
•the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, or how such date or dates will be determined, and the interest payment date or dates and any related record dates;
•the location where payments on the debt securities will be made;
•the terms and conditions on which the debt securities may be redeemed at the option of the issuer;
5

•any obligation of the issuer to redeem or purchase the debt securities pursuant to sinking fund provisions;
•any obligation of the issuer to redeem or purchase the debt securities at the option of a holder upon the happening of any event and the terms and conditions of redemption or purchase;
•if other than denominations of $1,000, the denominations in which debt securities may be issued;
•whether the debt securities are to trade in book-entry form and the terms and any conditions for exchanging the global security in whole or in part for paper certificates, or vice versa;
•if other than the principal amount, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities payable if the maturity is accelerated;
•any events of default not described in or deleted or modified from “—Events of Default” below;
•any depositaries, interest rate calculation agents or other agents; and
•any material provisions of the indenture described in this prospectus that do not apply to the debt securities.
The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominees identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In such a case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the series to be represented by such global security or securities.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary and except in the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities.
If material, federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Payment and Paying Agents
Distributions on the debt securities other than those represented by global debt securities will be made in the designated currency against surrender of the debt securities at the principal office of the paying agent. Payment will be made to the registered holder at the close of business on the record date for such payment. Interest payments will be made at the principal corporate trust office of the trustee, or by a check mailed to the holder at his registered address. Payments in any other manner will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Optional Redemption
The debt securities may be redeemed, at the option of Cintas No. 2, only on terms set forth in the indenture and the debt securities being redeemed, which will be summarized in the applicable prospectus supplement. On or after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the debt securities or any portion thereof called for redemption (unless Cintas No. 2 defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). Holders of debt securities to be redeemed will receive notice thereof by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption, unless a shorter period is specified in the debt securities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the debt securities are to be redeemed, the trustee will select the particular debt securities or portions of the principal amounts thereof for redemption from the outstanding debt securities not previously called in such manner as the trustee deems fair and appropriate.
Except as set forth above and as described in any applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be redeemable by us prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
6

Guarantees
Cintas and the subsidiary guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, to each holder and the trustee, the full and prompt performance of our obligations under the indenture and the debt securities, including the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities. The subsidiary guarantors consist of all of the direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Cintas that are guarantors of our revolving credit facility organized in any jurisdiction in the United States, which we refer to as domestic subsidiaries, subject to release as described below.
Each subsidiary guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that may be guaranteed by the applicable subsidiary guarantor without rendering that guarantee, as it relates to that subsidiary guarantor, voidable under applicable laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
We and Cintas have agreed in the indenture to cause (i) any future domestic Significant Subsidiary, at the time it becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cintas, and (ii) any present or future subsidiary of Cintas, that is not otherwise a subsidiary guarantor of the debt securities, that becomes a guarantor under any credit facility or lending arrangement for indebtedness of Cintas or Cintas No. 2, in each case, to become a subsidiary guarantor under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of each series.
Upon the sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any subsidiary guarantor by Cintas or by any subsidiary of Cintas to any person that is not an affiliate of Cintas, such subsidiary guarantor will automatically be released from all obligations under its guarantee; provided, that such release shall occur if and only to the extent that all obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under all of its guarantees of, and under all of its pledges of assets or other security interests which secure, indebtedness of us, Cintas or any subsidiary of Cintas also terminate upon such sale or disposition. In addition, at any time, upon our request and without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, any subsidiary guarantor (other than a Significant Subsidiary) may be released from all obligations under its guarantee; provided, that such release shall occur if and only to the extent that all obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under all of its guarantees of the indebtedness of us, Cintas or any other subsidiary of Cintas also terminate at the time of such release. If, upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary guarantor, or otherwise, such subsidiary guarantor is no longer a Significant Subsidiary, the guarantee of such subsidiary guarantor may be released subject to the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
Certain Covenants
Except as set forth herein, neither we, Cintas nor any other subsidiary of Cintas are restricted by the indenture from incurring any type of indebtedness or other obligation, from selling all or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary, from paying dividends or making distributions on our or their capital stock or purchasing or redeeming our or their capital stock. In addition, the indenture does not contain any provisions that would require us, Cintas or any other subsidiary of Cintas to repurchase or redeem or otherwise modify the terms of any of the debt securities upon a change in control or other events involving us, Cintas, or any other subsidiary of Cintas, which may adversely affect the creditworthiness of the debt securities.
Limitations on Liens
The indenture provides that we and the guarantors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien other than Permitted Liens, the exempted Liens and sale-leaseback transactions described below upon any Principal Property or upon any shares of Capital Stock or Debt of any Subsidiary owning or leasing any Principal Property, whether owned or leased on the date of the indenture or thereafter acquired, to secure any Debt incurred or guaranteed by us, the guarantors or any Subsidiary (other than the debt securities), without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the debt securities outstanding (together with, if we so determine, any other Debt or guarantee thereof by us or the guarantors ranking equally with the debt securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Debt so long as such Debt shall be so secured.
7

Restriction on Sale—Leasebacks
The indenture provides that, except as described below under “Exempted Liens and Sale-Leaseback Transactions,” we and the guarantors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in the sale or transfer by us, the guarantors or any Subsidiary of any Principal Property to a person (other than Cintas or a Subsidiary) and the taking back by Cintas or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, of a lease of such Principal Property, unless:
(1) such sale-leaseback transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than three years; or
(2) we, the guarantors or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such sale-leaseback transaction, apply or cause to be applied an amount not less than the net proceeds from such sale-leaseback transaction to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement (other than pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund, redemption or prepayment provision) of Funded Debt.
Exempted Liens and Sale-Leaseback Transactions
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on Liens and sale-leaseback transactions, the indenture provides that we and the guarantors may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur, or suffer to exist any Lien other than a Permitted Lien upon any Principal Property or upon any shares of Capital Stock or Debt of any Subsidiary owning or leasing any Principal Property to secure Debt incurred or guaranteed by Cintas or any Subsidiary (other than the debt securities) or effect any sale-leaseback transaction of a Principal Property that is not excepted by clauses (1) or (2) of the paragraph under “Restriction On Sale-Leasebacks” above without equally and ratably securing the debt securities; provided, that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debt (other than the debt securities) secured by Liens other than Permitted Liens upon Principal Property and/or upon such shares of Capital Stock or Debt plus the Attributable Debt from sale-leaseback transactions of Principal Property not so excepted, do not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Worth.
Certain Definitions
Certain terms used in this section are defined in the indenture as follows:
“Attributable Debt” means, as to any particular lease at any date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined, the total net amount of rent (discounted from the respective due dates thereof at the rate per annum set forth or implicit in the terms of such lease, compounded semiannually) required to be paid by the lessee under such lease during the remaining term thereof. The net amount of rent required to be paid under any such lease for any such period shall be the total scheduled amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period, but may exclude amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty or other termination payment, such amount shall be the amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the amount shall also include the amount of the penalty or termination payment, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated).
“Capital Stock” means, with respect to any Person, any and all shares, interests, participations or other equivalents (however designated) in the equity interests of such Person, including without limitation, (i) with respect to a corporation, common stock, preferred stock and any other capital stock, (ii) with respect to a partnership, partnership interests (whether general or limited), and (iii) with respect to a limited liability company, limited liability company interests.
“Consolidated Net Worth” means at any time the consolidated stockholders’ equity of Cintas and its Subsidiaries calculated on a consolidated basis as of such time.
“Funded Debt” means Debt having a maturity of more than 12 months from the date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined or having a maturity of less than 12 months but by its terms being renewable or extendible beyond 12 months from such date at the option of the obligor.
8

“GAAP” with respect to any computation required or permitted under the indenture means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America at the date or time of such computation.
“Lien” means and includes any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other similar encumbrance.
“Permitted Liens” means:

(4) utility easements, building restrictions and such other encumbrances or charges against real property as are of a nature generally existing with respect to properties of a similar character and that do not in any material way affect the marketability of the same or interfere with the use thereof in the business of Cintas or its Subsidiaries;
(5) Liens existing on the date of the original issuance of the applicable series of debt securities, provided that no increase in the principal amount secured thereby is permitted;

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
The indenture provides that Cintas may not, and will not permit any Subsidiary, including us, to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another Person unless:
(1) in the case of Cintas or Cintas No. 2, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is either Cintas, or, as the case may be, Cintas No. 2, or is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia and assumes by supplemental indenture all of Cintas’ or our obligations, as the case may be, under the indenture and the guarantee or the debt securities, as the case may be;

The successor will be substituted, if applicable, for the applicable party to the indenture with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture. Thereafter, the successor may exercise the rights and powers of such party under the indenture.
10

Events of Default
Each of the following will be an “Event of Default” under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of each series:
(1) default in any payment of interest or additional interest on any debt security of such series when due, continued for 30 days;
(2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any debt security of such series when due at its stated maturity, upon optional redemption, upon declaration or otherwise;
(3) failure by us or any guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice with the other agreements contained in the indenture or the debt securities;
(4) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Debt of Cintas or any of its Subsidiaries, including us (including an Event of Default under any other series of securities), having an outstanding principal amount of $25,000,000 or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Debt exists on the date of the indenture or is thereafter created, (i) an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare such Debt to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity and such Debt has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration and/or (ii) the failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default;
(5) any guarantee in respect of the debt securities by Cintas or a Significant Subsidiary Guarantor shall for any reason cease to be, or be asserted in writing by any guarantor thereof or us not to be, in full force and effect, and enforceable in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of the termination of the indenture or the release of any such guarantee in accordance with the terms of the indenture), provided, however, that if we or any guarantor asserts in writing that any such guarantee is not in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, such assertion shall not constitute an Event of Default for purposes of this paragraph if (i) such written assertion is accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that, as a matter of law, the defect or defects rendering such guarantee unenforceable can be remedied within 10 days of the date of such assertion, (ii) we or such guarantor delivers an officers’ certificate to the effect that we or such guarantor represents that such defect or defects shall be so remedied within such 10-day period, and (iii) such defect or defects are in fact so remedied within such 10-day period; provided, that any reduction in the maximum amount of any such guarantee as a result of fraudulent conveyance or similar law shall not be deemed an Event of Default; and
(6) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us, Cintas or any Significant Subsidiary Guarantor.
However, a default under clause (3) of this paragraph will not constitute an Event of Default until the trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series notify us and the guarantors, by registered or certified mail, of the default and such default is not cured within the time specified in clause (3) of this paragraph after receipt of such notice.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (6) above) occurs and is continuing, the trustee by written notice to us or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series by written notice to us and the trustee, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (6) above occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the debt securities of such series will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest and certain other defaults which require the consent of each noteholder affected) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the debt
11

securities and its consequences so long as a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has not been obtained by the trustee and all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of such series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.
Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of debt securities, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the debt securities unless:
•such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
•holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series have requested the trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;
•such holders have offered the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any cost, liability or expense;
•the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
•the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series have not given the trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period.
Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indenture, the trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
The holders of any debt security, however, will have an absolute right to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such debt security as expressed therein and to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment.
The indenture provides that if a default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of debt securities and is known to the trustee, the trustee must mail to each holder of debt securities of such series notice of the default within 90 days after it occurs; provided that in the case of any default of the character described in clause (3) above, no such notice to holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any debt security, the trustee may withhold notice if the trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders. In addition, we, as well as each guarantor, are required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a statement indicating whether the signers thereof know of any default that occurred during the previous year.
12

Modification, Amendments and Waivers
Modifications and amendments of the indenture may be made by us and the trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of a series then outstanding under the indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the debt securities). However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding debt security affected, no amendment may, among other things:
•reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment;
•reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on the debt securities;
•reduce the principal of or change the stated maturity of the debt securities;
•reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any debt security or change the time at which any debt security may be redeemed;
•make any debt security payable in money other than that stated therein;
•modify or affect in any manner adverse to holders the terms and conditions of the obligations of the guarantors in respect of the due and punctual payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities;
•impair the right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s debt securities; or
•make any change in the amendment provisions that require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series, on behalf of all holders of debt securities of such series, may waive compliance by the guarantors or us with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of each series, on behalf of all holders of such series, may waive any past default under the indenture (including any such waiver obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the debt securities), except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest or a default in respect of a provision that under the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each debt security that is affected.
Without the consent of any holder, the trustee and we may amend the indenture to, among other things:
•cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture that will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of any debt securities in any material respect;
•provide for the assumption by a successor of our or a guarantor’s obligations under the indenture;
•provide for a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of each series;
•add additional guarantees with respect to the debt securities;
•add any additional Events of Default;
•secure the debt securities;
•add to the covenants of the guarantors or us for the benefit of the holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the guarantors or us;
•make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder; or
•comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.
13

The consent of the holders is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment under the indenture becomes effective, we are required to transmit promptly to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
Concerning the Trustee
U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association, is the trustee under the indenture, and we have also appointed U.S. Bank Trust Company as registrar and paying agent with regard to the debt securities. U.S. Bank Trust Company also serves as trustee with respect to our 3.450% senior notes due 2025, 3.700% senior notes due 2027, 4.000% senior notes due 2032 and 6.15% senior notes due 2036.
Governing Law
The indenture provides that it and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
14

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the offered debt securities in and outside the United States:
•through underwriters or dealers;
•directly to purchasers;
•through agents; or
•through a combination of any of these methods.
The prospectus supplement will include the following information:
•the terms of the offering;
•the names of any underwriters or agents;
•the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;
•the purchase price or initial public offering price of the debt securities;
•the net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities;
•any delayed delivery arrangements;
•any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;
•any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
•any commissions paid to agents; and
•any securities exchanges on which the debt securities may be listed.
Sale through Underwriters or Dealers
If underwriters are used in the sale, we will execute an underwriting agreement with them regarding the debt securities. The underwriters will acquire the debt securities for their own account, subject to the conditions in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters may resell the debt securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer the debt securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the debt securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered debt securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the debt securities in the open market. To the extent expressly set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, these transactions may include over-allotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered debt securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered debt securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered debt securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.
Some or all of the debt securities that we offer though this prospectus may be new issues of debt securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom we sell our debt securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market
15

making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any debt securities that we offer.
If dealers are used in the sale of the debt securities, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell the debt securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. We will include in the prospectus supplement the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the debt securities directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We may also sell the debt securities through agents designated from time to time. In the prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered debt securities, and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may sell the debt securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to any sale of those securities. We will describe the terms of any sales of these debt securities in the prospectus supplement.
Remarketing Arrangements
Offered debt securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If we so indicate in the prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase debt securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
General Information
We may have agreements with the agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the agents, dealers, underwriters or remarketing firms may be required to make. Agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Cintas Corporation
The Washington Business Corporation Act (the “WBCA”), Section 23B.08.510, et seq., allows indemnification by Cintas Corporation to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any proceedings by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Cintas Corporation, against expenses, including judgments and fines, if he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cintas Corporation and, with respect to criminal actions, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The WBCA provides that Cintas Corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding in which a director was adjudged to be liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the director. Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. Indemnifications are to be made by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors; if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained, by a committee of at least two disinterested directors designated by the board of directors; by the written opinion of independent counsel; or by the shareholders, except that shares owned by or voted under the control of the directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted.
Article V of Cintas Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that indemnification shall be extended to any of the persons described above to the full extent permitted by the WBCA.
Cintas Corporation also maintains, at its expense, directors and officers liability insurance which covers all of Cintas Corporation’s directors and officers and directors and officers of subsidiaries of Cintas Corporation, including Cintas Corporation No. 2, Cintas Corporation No. 3 and Cintas Corporate Services, Inc. Cintas Corporation also has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors providing for indemnification against certain liabilities to the fullest extent permitted under Washington law.
II-1

Cintas Corporation No. 2 and Cintas Corporation No. 3 (the “Nevada Registrants”)
Each of the Nevada Registrants is organized under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Nevada General Corporation Law (the “NGCL”) authorizes Nevada corporations to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity, against liability reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or on behalf of a corporation, indemnification may not be made if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable, unless the court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Any discretionary indemnification, unless ordered by a court, may be made by the corporation only as authorized by the stockholders, or by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so orders or cannot be obtained, indemnification is to be authorized by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
The indemnification provisions of the NGCL require indemnification if a director, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding to which he was a party by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. The indemnification authorized under the NGCL is not exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to officers and directors under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a corporation or any agreement between officers and directors and the corporation. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any liability asserted against the officer, director, employee or agent and liability and expenses incurred by the officer, director, employee or agent in such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the NGCL.
Each of Article VI of Cintas Corporation No. 2’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and Article 5 of Cintas Corporation No. 3’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides, respectively, that indemnification shall be extended to any of the persons described above to the full extent permitted by the NGCL.
Cintas Corporate Services, Inc.
Cintas Corporate Services, Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Ohio Revised Code (the “ORC”) authorizes Ohio corporations to indemnify officers and directors from liability if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by the officer or director to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal actions, if the officer or director had no reason to believe his or her action was unlawful. In the case of an action by or on behalf of a corporation, indemnification may not be made (1) if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct, unless the court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, or (2) if liability asserted against such person concerns certain unlawful distributions. The indemnification provisions of the ORC require indemnification if a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding that he or she was a party to by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The indemnification authorized under Ohio law is not exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to officers and directors under the articles of incorporation or code of regulations of the corporation or any agreement between officers and directors and the corporation. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection on behalf of any officer or director against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in his or her capacity, or arising out of his or her status, as an officer or director, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the ORC.
Article 5 of Cintas Corporate Services, Inc.’s Code of Regulations provides that indemnification shall be extended to any of the persons described above to the full extent permitted by the ORC.

Item 17. Undertakings.
Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by a registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement
II-4

that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will be sellers to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.
Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
