PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Terex is a global manufacturer of a broad range of construction and mining related capital equipment. The Company strives to manufacture high quality machines which are low cost, simple to use and easy to maintain. The Company's principal products include telescopic mobile cranes, aerial work platforms, utility aerial devices, telescopic material handlers, truck mounted mobile cranes, rigid and articulated off-highway trucks and high capacity surface mining trucks, and related components and replacement parts. The Company's products are manufactured at 15 plants in the United States and Europe and are sold primarily through a worldwide network of dealers in over 750 locations to the global construction, infrastructure and surface mining markets.

The Company's operations began in 1983 with the purchase of Northwest Engineering Company, the Company's original business and name. Since 1983, management has expanded and changed the Company's business through a series of acquisitions and dispositions. In 1988, Northwest Engineering Company merged into a subsidiary acquired in 1986 named Terex Corporation, with Terex Corporation as the surviving entity. As a result of the completion of the PPM Acquisition (as defined below) in May 1995, the Company's operations were divided into three principal segments: Material Handling, Heavy Equipment and Mobile Cranes. On November 27, 1996, the Company completed the sale of its worldwide material handling segment, which was originally acquired in July 1992, and currently the Company operates in two business segments: Terex Lifting (formerly known as Terex Cranes) and Terex Earthmoving (formerly known as Terex Trucks).

Terex Lifting manufactures and sells telescopic mobile cranes (including rough terrain, truck and all terrain mobile cranes), aerial work platforms (including scissor, articulated boom and straight telescoping boom aerial work platforms), utility aerial devices (including digger derricks and articulated aerial devices), telescopic material handlers (including container stackers and rough terrain lift trucks), truck mounted cranes (boom trucks) and related components and replacement parts. These products are used by construction and industrial customers, as well as utility companies.

Terex Earthmoving manufactures and sells articulated and rigid off-highway trucks and high capacity surface mining trucks, and related components and replacement parts. These products are used primarily by construction, mining and government customers. As discussed more fully below under the heading "Recent Developments," the Company has agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of O & K Mining GmbH ("O & K Mining"), whose principal executive offices and primary manufacturing facility are located in Dortmund, Germany. O & K Mining's product line includes a full range of large hydraulic excavators and related parts and components to be sold primarily by O&K Mining's and Terex's combined sales organization.

Over the past several years, Terex has implemented a series of interrelated strategic initiatives designed to improve manufacturing efficiency and offer its products at a lower cost than competitors, thereby increasing sales, earnings and market share. These include: (i) focusing the Company's business on its core lifting and earthmoving businesses; (ii) focusing product lines on products which it can manufacture for low cost relative to its competitors by rationalizing product lines and simplifying its product designs; (iii) growth in the size and scope of operations through both acquisitions and new product development; and (iv) increasing profitability through cost reductions and improved manufacturing efficiency. The Company has also implemented a strategy to improve significantly its financial flexibility, strengthen its capital structure and enhance its liquidity to execute its growth initiatives. In addition, the Company has, and continues to, seek out acquisitions in the capital goods industry where aggressive management can achieve substantial improvements in profitability and cash flow.

For financial information about the Company's industry and geographic segments, see Note O --- "Business Segment Information" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Terex Lifting

Terex Lifting was established as a separate business segment as a result of an acquisition (the "PPM Acquisition") in May 1995 of substantially all of the shares of PPM S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries, including PPM SpA, Brimont Agraire S.A., a specialized trailer manufacturer in France, PPM Krane GmbH, a sales organization in Germany, and Baulift Baumaschinen Und Krane Handels GmbH, a parts distributor in Germany (collectively, "PPM Europe") from Potain S.A., and all of the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., which owned 92.4% of the capital of PPM Cranes, Inc., ("PPM North America" and PPM Europe and PPM North America are collectively referred to herein as "PPM") from Legris Industries, S.A. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the Company contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring Cranes and Excavators and Mark Industries division to Terex Cranes, Inc. The former division now operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc. ("Koehring"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Cranes, Inc. Koehring and PPM are part of the Terex Lifting segment.

During 1997, the Company completed two acquisitions to augment its Terex Lifting segment. On April 7, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the capital stock of certain of the former subsidiaries of Simon Engineering plc (collectively referred to herein as the "Simon Access Companies") for approximately $90 million. The Simon Access Companies consist principally of business units in the United States and Europe engaged in the manufacture, sale and worldwide distribution of access equipment designed to position people and materials to work at heights. The Simon Access Companies' products include utility aerial devices, aerial work platforms and truck-mounted cranes (boom trucks) which are sold to customers in the industrial and construction markets, as well as utility companies. Specifically, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of (i) Simon Telelect, Inc. (now named Terex Telelect Inc.), a Delaware corporation, (ii) Simon Aerials, Inc. (now named Terex Aerials, Inc.), a Wisconsin corporation and parent company of Terex RO, (iii) Sim-Tech Management Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, (iv) Simon Cella, S.r.l., a company incorporated under the laws of Italy, and (v) Simon Aerials Limited (now named Terex Aerials Limited), a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland; and 60% of the outstanding common stock of Simon-Tomen Engineering Company Limited, a limited liability stock company organized under the laws of Japan. On April 14, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Baraga Products, Inc. and M&M Enterprises of Baraga, Inc. Baraga Products, Inc. (now named Terex Baraga Products, Inc.) manufactures the Square Shooter, a rough terrain telescopic lift truck designed to lift materials to heights where they are used in construction.

Terex Lifting has eight significant manufacturing operations: (i) PPM S.A. located in Montceau-les-Mines, France, at which mobile cranes and container stackers under the brand names TEREX and PPM are manufactured; (ii) PPM SpA, located in Crespellano, Italy, at which mobile cranes are manufactured under the TEREX, BENDINI and PPM brand names; (iii) Terex Lifting, located in Conway, South Carolina, at which mobile cranes are manufactured under the P&H (a licensed trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and TEREX brand names; (iv) Terex Lifting - Waverly Operations, located in Waverly, Iowa, at which rough terrain hydraulic telescoping mobile cranes, truck cranes and material handlers are manufactured under the brand names TEREX, KOEHRING and LORAIN, and aerial lift equipment is manufactured under the brand names TEREX AERIALS, TEREX AND MARK; (v) Terex Telelect, Inc., located in Watertown, South Dakota, at which utility aerial devices and digger derricks are manufactured under the TELELECT and HI-RANGER brand names, (vi) Terex Aerials, Inc., located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at which aerial platforms are manufactured under the TEREX, SIMON, MARK and TEREX AERIALS brand names; (vii) Terex RO, Inc., located in Olathe, Kansas, at which truck mounted cranes are manufactured under the RO-STINGER brand name; and (viii) Terex Baraga Products, Inc., located in Baraga, Michigan, at which rough terrain telescopic lift trucks are manufactured under the SQUARE SHOOTER brand name.

Throughout the world market, mobile cranes are principally sold to rental companies and dealers with rental fleets. Terex Lifting's mobile crane market share varies dramatically by geographical area; however, the Company believes it is the leading manufacturer of mobile cranes in France and Italy and is the second largest manufacturer in North America. Terex Lifting's principal worldwide mobile crane competitors are Grove Worldwide and Link Belt (Sumitomo); Terex Lifting competes with several smaller specialty companies in North America and with Grove Cranes Ltd., Liebherr Werk Ehingen and DeMag in Europe. Terex Lifting's major competitors in the container stacker market are Kalmar, Valmet Belloti and Taylor. The Company believes that it is the fifth largest manufacturer of aerial work platforms in North America. Currently, the leading competitors in the aerial lift industry are JLG Industries, Genie, Grove Manlift (including the recently acquired Krupp Mobil Krane), Skyjack, and Snorkel. Currently, the leading competitors in the telescopic rough terrain lift truck industry are OmniQuip and Gradall. The Company believes that it is the second largest manufacturer in the United States of utility aerial devices behind Altec.

Terex Earthmoving

Terex Earthmoving currently manufactures and sells articulated and rigid off-highway trucks and high capacity surface mining trucks, and related components and replacement parts. These products are used primarily by construction, mining and government customers. Terex Earthmoving currently has three manufacturing operations: (i) Terex Equipment Limited ("TEL"), located at Motherwell, Scotland, which manufactures off-highway rigid haulers and articulated haulers and scrapers, each sold under the TEREX brand name and to other truck manufacturers on a private label basis; (ii) the Unit Rig Division, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which manufactures electric rear and bottom dump haulers principally sold to the copper, gold and coal mining industry customers in North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australia; and (iii) Payhauler Corp. ("Payhauler"), located in Batavia, Illinois, which was acquired by Terex on January 5, 1998 and manufactures all-wheel drive rigid off highway trucks. In addition, Terex Earthmoving has an interest in North Hauler Limited Liability Company, a corporation incorporated under the laws of China. In 1987, TEL entered into a joint venture agreement with Second Inner Mongolia Machinery Company for the production of haulers in China. The joint venture company, North Hauler Limited Liability Company, manufactures heavy trucks, principally used in mining, at a facility in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China. As discussed more fully below under the heading "Recent Developments," the Company has agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of O & K Mining GmbH ("O & K Mining"), whose principal executive offices and primary manufacturing facility are located in Dortmund, Germany. O & K Mining's product line includes a full range of large hydraulic excavators and related parts and components to be sold primarily by O&K Mining's and Terex's combined sales organization.

A "hauler" is an off-road dump truck with a capacity in excess of 25 tons. Haulers produced by TEL and Payhauler have capacities ranging from 25 to 100 tons. The "scrapers" manufactured by TEL are off-road vehicles, commonly referred to as "earthmovers," that load, move and unload large quantities of soil for site preparations, including roadbeds. The Unit Rig hauler is powered by a diesel engine driving an electric generator that provides power to individual electric motors in each of the rear wheels. Unit Rig's current LECTRA HAUL product line consists of a series of rear dump hauler trucks with payload capacities ranging from 100 to 260 tons, and bottom dump haulers with capacities ranging from 180 to 270 tons. Unit Rig's products are sold under the Company's TEREX, UNIT RIG, and LECTRA HAUL trademarks. TEL's North, Central and South American sales and distribution are managed by Terex Americas, a division of the Company, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Payhauler manufactures 30- and 50-ton all-wheel drive rigid rear dump haulers under the PAYHAULER trade name.

Terex Earthmoving believes that it is a significant competitor in the market for large capacity off highway haulers and scrapers. However, the Company is not a dominant manufacturer in the heavy equipment industry, which is dominated in most segments by large, diversified firms, such as Caterpillar, Volvo Group and Komatsu with respect to the TEL products and Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr Werk Ehingen and Euclid with respect to Unit Rig products.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of O & K Mining GmbH

The Company has agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of O&K Mining from O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG ("Orenstein & Koppel") for net aggregate consideration of DM 309 million (approximately $172 million), subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The transaction is scheduled to close on March 31, 1998 and will be financed through the issuance by the Company of its New Senior Subordinated Notes (defined below) and borrowings under the New Bank Credit Facility (as defined below). O&K Mining, which will be part of the Terex Earthmoving segment, is headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, and has operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, South Africa and Singapore. O&K Mining markets a complete range of large hydraulic excavators serving the global surface mining industry and the global construction and infrastructure development markets. The Company believes that O&K Mining has the leading market share for large hydraulic excavator models having machine weights in excess of 200 tons. The use of O&K Mining's excavators in around the clock intensive, harsh condition mining operations requires significant higher margin after-market parts and service, which in the case of the larger hydraulic excavators can generate revenues of up to 200% of the original sale price over the expected life of the machines. In 1997, O&K Mining introduced the RH 400, the world's largest hydraulic excavator with an 800 ton machine weight and 80 ton bucket capacity.

The Company has identified and plans to initiate several programs to increase sales and reduce costs in connection with the integration of O&K Mining into the Terex Earthmoving segment. Since 1993, O&K Mining has successfully marketed the Company's off-highway trucks under private label, primarily in Europe. The Company believes that additional opportunities exist to offer packages of off-highway trucks with complementary small hydraulic excavators to the construction industry outside Europe and of high capacity trucks with complementary large hydraulic excavators to the global surface mining industry. The new machine product combinations and the related integrated parts and field


6

service business will allow the Company to expand on its and O&K Mining's established customer relationships and position itself as an integrated provider of surface mining and construction products.

Repurchase of 13-1/4% Senior Secured Notes and New Bank Credit Facility

On March 6, 1998, the Company completed the purchase or defeasance of all of the $166.7 million in principal amount of its then outstanding 13-1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). Concurrently therewith, the Company also amended or eliminated certain of the principal restrictive covenants contained in the Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes and refinanced substantially all of its then existing domestic and foreign revolving credit debt. The proceeds for the offer to purchase and the repayment of its then existing revolving credit facility were obtained from borrowings under the Company's new $500 million global bank credit facility (the "New Bank Credit Facility").

The New Bank Credit Facility consists of a new secured global revolving credit facility aggregating up to $125 million (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") and two term loan facilities (collectively, the "Term Loan Facilities") providing for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $375 million. The New Revolving Credit Facility, which is currently undrawn, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Facilities, the Company has borrowed, or may borrow in the future, (i) up to $175 million in aggregate principal amount pursuant to a Term Loan A due March 2004 (the "Term A Loan") and (ii) up to $200 million in aggregate principal amount pursuant to a Term Loan B due March 2005 (the "Term B Loan"). The outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loan initially bears interest, at Company's option, at an all-in drawn cost of 2% per annum in excess of the adjusted eurocurrency rate or, with respect to U.S. dollar denominated alternate base rate loans, at an all-in drawn cost of 1% per annum in excess of the prime rate. The outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan initially bears interest, at the Company's option, at a rate of 2.5% per annum in excess of the adjusted eurodollar rate or, with respect to U.S. dollar denominated alternate base rate loans, 1.5% in excess of the prime rate. The Term A Loan amortizes on a quarterly basis, in the annual percentages of 0%, 16%, 16%, 21%, 21% and 26%, respectively, during the six year term of the loan. The Term B Loan amortizes in an annual percentage of 1% during each of the first six years of the term of the loan and 94% in the seventh year of the term of the loan. The Term A Loan and Term B Loan are subject to mandatory prepayment under certain circumstances and is voluntarily prepayable without payment of a premium (subject to reimbursement of the lenders' costs in case of prepayment of eurodollar loans other than on the last day of an interest period). The outstanding principal amount of loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility initially bears interest, at the Company's option, at an all-in drawn cost of 2% per annum in excess of the adjusted eurocurrency rate or, with respect to U.S. dollar denominated alternate base rate loans, at an all-in drawn cost of 1% per annum in excess of the prime rate. The New Revolving Credit Facility terminates on March 5, 2004. The Company has entered into certain interest rate protection agreements with respect to a portion of the principal amount of the New Bank Credit Facility.

With limited exceptions, the obligations of the Company under the New Bank Credit Facility are secured by (i) a pledge of all of the capital stock of domestic subsidiaries of the Company, (ii) a pledge of 65% of the stock of certain of the foreign subsidiaries of the Company and (iii) a first priority security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all of the assets of Terex and its domestic subsidiaries. The New Bank Credit Facility contains covenants limiting the Company's activities, including, without limitation, limitations on dividends and other payments, liens, investments, incurrence of indebtedness, mergers and asset sales, related party transactions and capital expenditures. The New Bank Credit Facility also contains certain financial and operating covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. If for any reason the Company is unable to comply with the terms of the New Bank Credit Facility, including the covenants included therein, such noncompliance would result in an event of default under the New Bank Credit Facility and could result in acceleration of the payment of the indebtedness outstanding under the New Bank Credit Facility.

New Senior Subordinated Notes

On March 24, 1998, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to issue and sell $150 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2008 (the "New Senior Subordinated Notes"). The New Senior Subordinated Notes are being issued and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the closing is expected to occur on March 31, 1998. The New Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured and repayment is guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds of the issuance and sale of the New Senior Subordianted Notes will be used to fund a portion of the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of O&K Mining and for general corporate purposes.

Products

Telescopic Mobile Cranes

Telescopic mobile cranes are used primarily in new industrial, commercial construction and public works construction industries and in maintenance applications, to lift equipment or material to heights in excess of 50 feet. The Company's Terex Lifting segment manufactures the following types of telescopic mobile cranes:


7

Rough Terrain Cranes--are designed
to lift materials and equipment on rough or
uneven terrain and are most often located on
a single construction or work site such as a
building site, a highway or a utility
project for long periods of time. Rough
terrain cranes cannot be driven on highways
and accordingly must be transported by truck
to the work site. Rough terrain cranes
manufactured by Terex Lifting have maximum
lifting capacities of up to 90 tons and
maximum tip heights of up to 205 feet. Terex
Lifting manufactures its rough terrain
cranes at its facilities located at Waverly,
Iowa, Conway, South Carolina,
Montceau-les-Mines, France, and Crespellano,
Italy under the brand names TEREX, LORAIN,
P&H, PPM and BENDINI.

Truck Cranes--have two cabs and can
travel rapidly from job site to job site at
highway speeds. In contrast to rough terrain
cranes which are often located for extended
periods at a single work site, truck cranes
are often used for multiple local jobs,
primarily in urban or suburban areas. Truck
cranes manufactured by Terex Lifting have
maximum lifting capacities of up to 75 tons
and maximum tip heights of up to 193 feet.
Terex Lifting manufactures truck cranes at
its Waverly, Iowa and Conway, South Carolina
facilities under the brand names P&H and
LORAIN.

All Terrain Cranes--were developed
in Europe as a cross between rough terrain
and truck cranes in that they are designed
to travel across both rough terrain and
highways. All terrain cranes have two cabs
and are versatile and highly maneuverable.
All terrain cranes manufactured by Terex
Lifting have lifting capacities of up to 130
tons and maximum tip heights of up to 223
feet. Terex Lifting manufactures its all
terrain cranes at its Montceau-les-Mines,
France facility under the brand names TEREX
and PPM.

Truck Mounted Cranes (Boom Trucks)

Terex Lifting manufactures telescopic boom cranes for mounting on commercial truck chassis. Terex also distributes truck mounted articulated cranes under the EFFER brand name which are manufactured by Effer SpA. Truck mounted cranes are used primarily in the construction industry to lift equipment or materials to various heights. Boom trucks are generally lighter and have a lower lifting capacity than truck cranes, and are used for many of the same applications when lower lifting capabilities are required. An advantage of a boom truck is that the equipment or material to be lifted by the crane can be transported by the truck which can travel at highway speeds. Applications include the installation of air conditioners and other roof equipment. The Company's Terex Lifting segment manufactures the following types of cranes for installation on truck chassis:

Telescopic Boom Truck Mounted Cranes--enable an operator to reach heights of up to 167 feet and have a maximum lifting capacity of up to 37.5 tons. Terex Lifting manufactures its telescopic boom truck mounted cranes at its Olathe, Kansas facility under the brand name RO-STINGER.

Articulated Boom Truck Mounted Cranes--are for users who prefer greater capacities over the greater vertical reach provided by a telescopic boom truck mounted crane. At its Olathe, Kansas facility, Terex Lifting acts as the master distributor for the EFFER brand line of articulated boom truck mounted cranes which have maximum capacities up to 87,305 pounds and horizontal reach to 66 feet.

Aerial Work Platforms

Aerial work platforms are self propelled devices which position workers and materials easily and quickly to elevated work areas. These products have developed over the past 20 years as alternatives to scaffolding and ladders. The work platform is mounted on either a telescoping and/or articulating boom or on a vertical lifting scissor mechanism.


8

Scissor Lifts--are used in open
areas in indoor or outdoor applications in a
variety of construction, industrial and
commercial settings. Scissor lifts
manufactured by Terex Lifting have maximum
working heights of up to 52 feet and maximum
load capacities of up to 2,000 pounds. Terex
Lifting manufactures scissor aerial work
platforms at its Waverly, Iowa and
Milwaukee, Wisconsin facilities under the
brand names TEREX, SIMON and MARK.

Straight Telescopic Boom Lifts--are
used primarily outdoors in residential,
commercial and industrial new construction
and maintenance projects. Straight
telescopic boom lifts manufactured by Terex
Lifting have maximum working heights of up
to 126 feet and maximum load capacities of
up to 650 pounds. Terex Lifting manufactures
its straight telescopic aerial work
platforms at its Waverly, Iowa and
Milwaukee, Wisconsin facilities under the
brand names TEREX, SIMON and MARK.

Articulating Telescopic Boom
Lifts--are generally used in industrial
environments where the articulation allows
the user to access elevated areas over
machines or structural obstacles which
prevent access with a scissor lift or
straight boom. Articulating lifts available
from Terex Lifting have maximum working
heights of up to 70 feet and maximum load
capacities of up to 500 pounds. Terex
Lifting manufactures its articulating
telescopic boom lifts at its Waverly, Iowa
and Milwaukee, Wisconsin facilities under
the brand name TEREX AERIALS.

Utility Aerial Devices

Utility aerial devices are used to set utility poles and move workers and materials to work areas at the top of utility poles and towers. Utility aerial devices are mounted on commercial truck chassis which include separately installed steel cabinets for tool and material storage. Most utility aerial devices are insulated to permit live wire work.

Articulated Aerial Devices--are used to elevate workers to work areas at the top of utility poles or in trees and include one or two man baskets. Articulated aerial devices available from Terex Lifting include telescopic, non-overcenter and overcenter models and range in working heights from 32 to 203 feet. Articulated aerial devices are manufactured by Terex Lifting at its Watertown, South Dakota facility under the brand names TELELECT and HI-RANGER.

Digger Derricks--are used to set telephone poles. The digger derricks include a telescopic boom with an auger mounted at the tip which digs a hole, and a device to grasp, manipulate and set the pole. Digger derricks available from Terex Lifting have sheave heights exceeding 70 feet and lifting capacities up to 48,000 pounds. Digger derricks are manufactured by Terex Lifting at its Watertown, South Dakota facility under the brand name TELELECT.

Telescopic Material Handlers

Telescopic material handlers are used to lift containers or other material from one location to another at the same job site.

Telescopic Container Stackers--are used to pick up and stack containers at dock and terminal facilities. At the end of a telescopic container stacker's boom is a spreader which enables it to attach to containers of varying lengths and weights and to rotate the container up to 360 degrees. Telescopic container stackers are particularly effective in storage areas where containers are continually added and removed, and where the efficient manipulation of, and access to, specific containers is required. Telescopic container stackers manufactured by Terex Lifting have lifting capacities up to 49.5 tons, can stack up to six full or nine empty containers and are able to maneuver through very narrow areas. Terex Lifting manufactures its telescopic container stackers under the brand names PPM and P&H SUPERSTACKERS at its Conway, South Carolina and Montceau-les-Mines, France facilities.


9

Rough Terrain Telescopic Boom
Forklifts--serve a similar function as
smaller size rough terrain telescopic mobile
cranes and are used exclusively to move and
place materials on new residential and
commercial job sites. Terex Lifting
manufactures rough terrain telescopic boom
forklifts with load capacities of up to
10,000 pounds and with a maximum extended
reach of up to 31 feet and lift capabilities
of up to 48 feet. Terex Lifting manufactures
rough terrain telescopic boom forklifts at
its facility in Baraga, Michigan under the
brand name SQUARE SHOOTER.

Rigid and Articulated Off-Highway Trucks

Terex Earthmoving manufactures two distinct types of off-highway trucks with hauling capacities from 25 to 100 tons: articulated and rigid frame. Terex Earthmoving manufactures rigid and articulated trucks at its TEL facility in Motherwell, Scotland. TEL manufactures and markets articulated trucks and rigid frame trucks under the TEREX brand name and sells to O&K Mining on a private label basis. Upon consummation of the O&K Acquisition, the Company will continue to manufacture articulated trucks and rigid frame trucks under the O&K name.

Articulated Off-Highway Trucks--are three axle, six wheel drive machines with a capacity range of 25 to 40 tons. Their differentiating feature is an oscillating connection between the cab and body which allows the cab and body to move independently, thereby enabling all six tires to maintain ground contact for improved traction on rough terrain. This allows the truck to move effectively through extremely rough or muddy off-road conditions. Articulated off-highway trucks are typically used together with an excavator or wheel loader to move dirt in connection with road, tunnel or other infrastructure construction and commercial, industrial or major residential construction projects. Terex's articulated trucks are manufactured in Motherwell, Scotland, under the brand name TEREX.

Rigid Off-Highway Trucks--are two axle machines which generally have larger capacities than articulated trucks but can operate only on improved or graded surfaces.

The capacities of rigid off-highway trucks
range from 35 to 100 tons, and off-highway
trucks have applications in large
construction or infrastructure projects,
aggregates and smaller surface mines. Terex
Earthmoving's rigid trucks are manufactured
in Motherwell, Scotland, under the TEREX
brand name and in Batavia, Illinois, under
the PAYHAULER brand name.

High Capacity Surface Mining
Trucks--are off road dump trucks with
capacities in excess of 120 tons primarily
for surface mining. Terex Earthmoving's
haulers are powered by a diesel engine
driving an electric generator that provides
power to individual electric motors in each
of the rear wheels. Unit Rig's current
LECTRA HAUL product line consists of a
series of rear dump trucks with payload
capacities ranging from 120 to 260 tons, and
bottom dump trucks with capacities ranging
from 180 to 270 tons. Terex Earthmoving's
high capacity surface mining trucks are
manufactured at Unit Rig, located in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, under the UNIT RIG and LECTRA HAUL
brand names.

Backlog

The Company's backlog as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 was as follows:

                                           December 31,

                                    ============= =============

Substantially all of the Company's backlog orders are expected to be filled


10

within one year, although there can be no assurance that all such backlog orders will be filled within that time period. The Company's backlog orders represent primarily new equipment orders. Parts orders are generally filled on an as-ordered basis.

Terex Lifting backlog at December 31, 1997 increased $119.3 million to $186.5 million as compared to $67.2 at December 31, 1996. The increase in backlog was due to the effect of the Simon Access and Square Shooter businesses acquired in April 1997 (approximately $51 million in backlog) as well as increases in the businesses other than the 1997 acquisitions. The backlog at Terex Earthmoving decreased to $30.3 million at December 31, 1997 from $53.4 million at December 31, 1996, principally because of the decline in sales and backlog of Unit Rig machines during 1997.

Distribution

Terex Lifting distributes its products primarily through a global network of dealers in over 750 different locations. With respect to telescopic mobile cranes in North America, Terex Lifting maintains extensive dealer networks. The geographic strength of Terex Lifting's telescopic mobile cranes marketed under the LORAIN brand name centers in the midwest and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States and the geographic strength of telescopic mobile cranes marketed under the P&H brand name centers in the southern and western regions of the United States. Terex Lifting's European distribution is carried out primarily under three brand names, TEREX, PPM and BENDINI, through a single distribution network comprised of both distributors and a direct sales force. Terex Lifting sells its utility aerial devices under the SIMON, TEREX and TELELECT brand names principally through a network of North American distributors. Terex Lifting sells its aerial work platform products through a distribution network that includes many of the Aerials Limited and Aerials dealers throughout the world, but principally in North America and Europe. Terex Lifting's aerial work platform products are sold under the brand name TEREX AERIALS.

TEL markets machines and replacement parts primarily through worldwide dealership networks. TEL's truck dealers are independent businesses which generally serve the construction, mining, timber and/or scrap industries. Although these dealers carry products of a variety of manufacturers, and may or may not carry more than one of the Company's products, each dealer generally carries only one manufacturer's "brand" of each particular type of product. The Company employs sales representatives who service these dealers from offices located throughout the world. Payhauler distributes its products primarily through a dealership network. Unit Rig distributes its products and services directly to customers primarily through its own distribution system.

Research and Development

The Company maintains engineering staffs at several of its locations which design new products and improvements in existing product lines. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products of continuing operations amounted to $6.2, $6.1 and $5.0 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Materials

Principal materials used by the Company in its various manufacturing processes include steel, castings, engines, tires, hydraulic cylinders, electric controls and motors, and a variety of other fabricated or manufactured items. In the absence of labor strikes or other unusual circumstances, substantially all materials are normally available from multiple suppliers. Current and potential suppliers are evaluated on a regular basis on their ability to meet the Company's requirements and standards. Electric wheel motors and controls used in the Unit Rig product line are currently supplied exclusively by General Electric Company. The Company is endeavoring to develop alternative sources and has entered into a contract with General Atomics, a former defense contractor, to develop electric wheel motors for Unit Rig trucks. If the Company is unable to develop alternative sources, or if there is disruption or termination of its relationship with General Electric Company (which is not governed by a written contract), it could have a material adverse effect on Unit Rig's operations.

Working Capital Items

The Company, in the normal course of business, does not provide right of return on merchandise sold, nor does it provide extended payment terms to customers.

Competition

Telescopic Mobile Cranes--The domestic telescopic mobile crane industry is comprised primarily of three manufacturers. The Company believes that Terex Lifting is the second largest domestic manufacturer, with approximately a 36% market share. The Company believes that the number one domestic manufacturer is Grove Worldwide, and the number three domestic manufacturer is Link-Belt, a


11

subsidiary of Sumitomo Corp. The Company's principal markets in Europe are in France and Italy, where the Company believes it has the largest market shares, with an estimated 50% market share in each of these countries. In Europe, Terex Lifting's primary competitors are Grove Cranes Ltd., Liebherr Werk Ehingen and DeMag. Outside the United States and Europe, the most active new mobile crane markets are the Middle East and South America. Terex Lifting sells approximately 10% of its newly manufactured telescopic mobile cranes to those markets.

The United States boom truck industry is dominated by four manufacturers, of which the Company believes Terex RO, with a 25% market share, is the second largest behind Grove National.

Aerial Work Platforms--The aerial work platform industry in North America is fragmented, with seven major competitors. The Company believes that its approximate 7% market share makes it the fifth largest manufacturer of aerial work platforms in North America, behind JLG, Grove Manlift, Skyjack and Snorkel. The Company believes that approximately 42,000 aerial platforms were sold in the United States during 1997, of which approximately 70% were scissor lifts, 19% were articulated boom lifts, and 11% were straight boom lifts. The Company believes that its market share in boom lifts is greater than its market share in scissor lifts.

Utility Aerial Devices--The utility aerial device industry is comprised primarily of three manufacturers. The Company believes that it has a 20% market share of that industry and that it is the second largest manufacturer in the United States of utility aerial devices behind Altec. Outside the United States, the Company is focusing primarily on the Mexican and Caribbean markets.

Telescopic Container Stackers--The Company believes that three manufacturers account for approximately 66% of the global market for telescopic container stackers. The Company believes that it has a global market share of 25% and that it is the second largest manufacturer behind Kalmar. Other manufacturers include Valmet Belloti and Taylor.

Telescopic Rough Terrain Lift Trucks--OmniQuip and Gradall are the largest manufacturers of telescopic rough terrain lift trucks. The Company believes that the Square Shooter Business has approximately a 4% market share.

Off-Highway Trucks--North America and Europe account for greater than 60% of the global market. Four manufacturers dominate the global market. The Company believes that it is the third largest of these manufacturers (behind Volvo and Caterpillar), with approximately a 10% global market share.

High Capacity Surface Mining Trucks--The high capacity surface mining truck industry includes three principal manufacturers: Caterpillar, Komatsu-Dresser and the Company. The Company believes that it is the third largest manufacturer with a global market share of approximately 13%.

Employees

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 2,950 employees. The Company considers its relations with its personnel to be good. Approximately 35% of the Company's employees are represented by labor unions which have entered into or are in the process of entering into various separate collective bargaining agreements with the Company. The Company experienced a labor strike at its parts distribution center in Southaven, Mississippi during the second quarter of 1995 which was settled in February 1997. The strike at Southaven had no appreciable effect on the conduct of business or financial results of that operation as a whole, although individual product line sales growth may have been hindered.

Patents, Licenses and Trademarks

Several of the trademarks and trade names of the Company, in particular the TEREX, LORAIN, UNIT RIG, MARK, P&H, PPM, SIMON, TELELECT, SQUARE SHOOTER and PAYHAULER trademarks, are important to the business of the Company. The Company owns and maintains trademark registrations and patents in countries where it conducts business, and monitors the status of its trademark registrations and patents to maintain them in force and renews them as required. The Company also protects its trademark, trade name and patent rights when circumstances warrant such action, including the initiation of legal proceedings, if necessary. P&H is a registered trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation which the Company has the right to use for certain products pursuant to a license agreement until 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements for the Simon Access Companies, the Company has the right to use the SIMON name (which is a registered trademark of Simon Engineering plc) for certain products until April 7, 2000. CELLA is a trademark of Sergio Cella. EFFER is a trademark of Effer SpA. All other trademarks and tradenames referred to in this Annual Report are registered trademarks of Terex Corporation or its subsidiaries.

Environmental Considerations

The Company generates hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in the normal course of its operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), that (i) govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices for hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a continuing basis.

Seasonal Factors

The Company markets a large portion of its products in North America and Europe, and its sales of heavy equipment and cranes during the fourth quarter of each year to the construction industry are usually lower than sales of such equipment during each of the first three quarters of the year because of the normal winter slowdown of construction activity. However, sales of heavy equipment to the mining industry are generally less affected by such seasonal factors.

No dividends were declared or paid in 1996 or in 1997. Certain of the Company's debt agreements contain restrictions as to the payment of cash dividends. In order for the Company to pay dividends, the New Bank Credit Facility requires that the ratio of the Company's total debt to pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters be less than 3.85 to 1.0, and that the amount of dividends paid by the Company during the entire term of New Bank Credit Facility not exceed an aggregate of $25 million. The Company intends generally to retain earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of its business. The Company does not plan on paying dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future payments of cash dividends will depend upon the financial condition, capital requirements and earnings of the Company, as well as other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company currently operates in two industry segments: Terex Lifting and Terex Earthmoving. The Company previously operated a third industry segment, the Material Handling segment, the results of which are now accounted for as Income from Discontinued Operations. The Terex Lifting segment results for periods prior to April 1997 consist of Terex Lifting - Waverly Operations, Terex Lifting
- Conway Operations and PPM Europe. Subsequent to that date, Terex Lifting' results also include the results of the Simon Access and Square Shooter businesses acquired in April of 1997. Terex Earthmoving consists of TEL and Unit Rig.

1997 Compared with 1996

The table below is a comparison of net sales, gross profit, engineering, selling and administrative expenses, income (loss) from operations, and income (loss) from discontinued operations, by segment, for 1997 and 1996. The 1996 amounts include $30.0 million in special charges comprised of $18.3 million at Terex Lifting ($16.8 gross profit; $1.6 million engineering, selling and administrative expenses), $10.4 million at Terex Earthmoving (gross profit), and $1.2 million General/Corporate (engineering, selling and administrative expenses).

Net Sales

Sales increased $163.8 million, or approximately 24.1%, to $842.3 million in 1997 from $678.5 million in 1996, primarily reflecting the Simon Access and Square Shooter Acquisitions in the second quarter of 1997.

Terex Lifting's sales were $548.0 million for 1997, an increase of $184.1 million, or 50.6%, from $363.9 million in 1996 which did not include the results of Simon Access and Square Shooter. Machine sales increased $168.7 million to $460.5 million in 1997. This increase in sales was due primarily to the inclusion of Simon Access and Square Shooter since their acquisition in April 1997. The increase in Terex Lifting's sales in 1997 as compared to 1996 was also attributable to an increase of $22.7 million in sales at Terex--Waverly Operations as compared to 1996. Parts sales increased $8.6 million to $72.9 million in 1997. Terex Lifting's bookings were $613.3 million for 1997, compared to $356.1 million for 1996, an increase of $257.2 million.

Terex Earthmoving's sales decreased $26.5 million in 1997 to $288.4 million. This decline in sales resulted from a decrease in sales of Unit Rig machines which was partially offset by sales increases in the other Terex Earthmoving businesses. Machine sales at Terex Earthmoving in 1997 decreased $22.2 million to $189.0 million from $211.2 million in 1996 of which approximately $33 million was attributable to a decrease in Unit Rig's machine sales partially offset by increased sales in Terex products primarily in North America. Sales of parts at Terex Earthmoving in 1997 increased $2.2 million to $96.2 million as compared to $94.0 million in 1996. The sales mix was approximately 33% parts in 1997 compared to approximately 29% parts in 1996. Terex Earthmoving's bookings for 1997 were $268.0 million, a decrease of $9.9 million, or 3.6%, from 1996. Backlog decreased to $30.3 million at December 31, 1997 from $53.4 million in 1996 primarily as a result of the decrease in machine sales at Unit Rig.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 1997 increased $70.4 million to $139.6 million. The increase in the gross profit was due to the addition of the Simon Access and Square Shooter businesses, general improvements at most operations and the effect of $27.1 million of non-recurring charges in 1996. The 1996 charges included a $16.8 million write down of goodwill and other long lived assets at Terex Lifting and $10.4 million of non-recurring charges recorded at Terex Earthmoving, primarily Unit Rig, in the fourth quarter of 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 1997 increased to 16.6% as compared to 10.2% for 1996 as a result of the effect of the non-recurring charges in 1996. Excluding these $27.1 million charges in 1996, gross profit as a percentage of sales in 1997 increased to 16.6% from 14.2% in 1996.

Terex Lifting's gross profit increased $49.1 million to $87.2 million for 1997, compared to $38.1 million for 1996, reflecting the Simon Access and Square Shooter acquisitions. The gross profit percentage increased to 15.9% in 1997 as compared to 10.5% in 1996. Excluding the effect of the Simon Access and Square Shooter acquisitions and the 1996 impairment charge, Terex Lifting's gross profit in 1997 increased $3.6 million as compared to 1996.

Terex Earthmoving's gross profit increased $19.4 million to $50.7 million in 1997 compared to $31.3 million for 1996. Excluding the $10.4 million non-recurring charges in 1996 noted above, Terex Earthmoving's gross profit increased $9.0 million in 1997 as compared to 1996. Excluding the 1996 non-recurring charges, the gross profit percentage in 1997 increased to 17.6% from 13.2% in 1996 due to an increase in the proportion of higher margin parts sales as compared to machine sales, an increase in the gross margin for the Terex product line, primarily due to cost reduction initiatives, and a decrease in the percentage of Terex Earthmoving's sales in 1997 comprised of the lower margin Unit Rig machines.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses (which include the Company's research and development expenses) increased to $68.5 million in 1997 from $64.1 million for 1996, reflecting the effects of the acquisition of the Simon Access Companies and Square Shooter. However, engineering, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.1% for 1997 from 9.4% for 1996. Terex Earthmoving's engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million to $26.0 million for 1997 due to increased selling efforts. Terex Lifting's engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $40.0 million for 1997 from $33.3 million for 1996, reflecting the acquisition of the Simon Access Companies and Square Shooter. Excluding the effect of the acquired companies, Terex Lifting engineering, selling and administrative expenses fell by almost 22% year over year. Unallocated corporate engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased to $2.5 million in 1997 as compared to $5.1 million in 1996. See "Business--Research and Development" for a discussion of the Company's engineering expenses.


19

Income (Loss) from Operations

Terex Lifting's income from operations of $47.2 million for 1997 increased by $42.4 million over 1996, primarily due to the inclusion of the Simon Access and Square Shooter businesses ($14.3 million), the 1996 impairment charges, improved results at the European operations and continued strong performance by Terex Lifting--Waverly Operations.

Terex Earthmoving's income from operations increased by $19.1 million to $24.7 million for 1997 from $5.6 million in 1996, primarily due to improved profits at Unit Rig, higher gross margin percentages and the 1996 non-recurring charges mentioned above under "Gross Profit."

On a consolidated basis, the Company had operating income of $71.1 million for 1997, compared to operating income of $5.1 million for 1996, for the reasons mentioned above.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense decreased to $38.5 million for 1997 from $43.6 million in 1996 as a result of lower average debt levels and interest rates in 1997. A portion of the decrease was due to the $139.5 million of cash provided from the sale of the Company's Materials Handling Segment in November 1996, which allowed the Company to eliminate borrowings under its revolving credit facility prior to the acquisition of the Simon Access Companies on April 7, 1997. Furthermore, the proceeds from the issuance of the Common Stock in July 1997 were used to reduce the average balance borrowed under the then existing revolving credit facility, and then on September 4, 1997, the Company redeemed $83.3 million of the Senior Secured Notes.

Other Income (Expense)

The Company realized gains in 1996 of $3.3 million from the sale of excess property principally in Scotland and Italy. During 1996, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $12.1 million; in 1997, the Company recorded $0.7 million provision for income taxes. The 1996 provision for income taxes primarily relates to $11.3 million of tax expense recognized at PPM Europe in connection with its recapitalization which required the Company to utilize a net operating loss carryforward. The additional $0.8 million provision relates to taxes due on the sale of property in Europe.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations in the Company's Material Handling Segment ("Clark") was $102.0 million for 1996. The income was primarily due to the gain realized on the Clark Sale of $84.5 million. Gross profit for 1996 (through the date of the Clark Sale) was $46.0 million.

Extraordinary Items

The Company recorded a charge of $2.6 million in 1997 to recognize a loss on the early extinguishment of debt in connection with its debt refinancing in April 1997. Additionally, the Company recorded a charge of $12.2 million to recognize a loss on the early extinguishment of debt in connection with the September 1997 redemption of $83.3 million of the Senior Secured Notes.

1996 Compared with 1995

The table below is a comparison of net sales, gross profit, engineering, selling and administrative expenses, income (loss) from operations, and income (loss) from discontinued operations, by segment, for 1996 and 1995. The 1996 amounts include $30.0 million in special charges comprised of $18.3 million at Terex Lifting ($16.8 gross profit; $1.6 million engineering, selling and administrative expenses), $10.4 million at Terex Earthmoving (gross profit), and $1.2 million General/Corporate (engineering, selling and administrative expenses).

Net Sales

Sales increased $177.1 million, or approximately 35.3%, to $678.5 million in 1996 from $501.4 million in 1995, reflecting the PPM Acquisition in the second quarter of 1995.

Terex Lifting's sales were $363.9 million for 1996, an increase of $111.6 million, or 44.2%, from $252.3 million in 1995 which did not include PPM prior to the PPM Acquisition. Machine sales increased $94.9 million to $291.8 million in 1996. This increase in sales was due primarily to the inclusion of PPM Europe and Terex Lifting--Conway Operations for all of 1996, as compared to 1995 when the results of these operations were not included prior to May 9, 1995. The increase in Terex Lifting's sales in 1996 as compared to 1995 was also attributable to an increase of $34.3 million in sales at Terex--Waverly Operations as compared to 1995 and, to a lesser extent, to growth in sales at PPM Europe and Terex Lifting--Conway Operations during such period. Parts sales increased $11.4 million to $64.3 million in 1996. Terex Lifting's bookings were $356.1 million for 1996, compared to $236.7 million for 1995, an increase of $119.4 million.

Terex Earthmoving's sales increased $64.6 million in 1996 to $314.9 million. Machines sales increased 36.2% primarily due to increased presence in the Asian market and the United States rental market, and parts sales increased 8.5% in 1996. The sales mix was approximately 29% parts in 1996 compared to 34.6% parts in 1995. Terex Earthmoving's bookings for 1996 were $277.9 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 1.1%, from 1995. Backlog decreased to $53.4 million at December 31, 1996 from $88.8 million in 1995 as a result of a large order which was placed late in 1995. However, the average backlog increased slightly to $68.1 million for 1996 as compared to $57.0 million for 1995.


21

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 1996 decreased $1.2 million to $69.2 million. The decline in the gross profit was primarily due to the $16.8 million write down of goodwill and other long lived assets at Terex Lifting and $10.4 million of non-recurring charges recorded at Terex Earthmoving in the fourth quarter of 1996. These charges substantially offset the increased gross profit from increased net sales during 1996 as compared to 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 1996 decreased to 10.2% as compared to 14.0% for 1995 as a result of the non-recurring charges. However, excluding these $27.1 million charges in 1996, gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 14.2% and increased from $70.4 million to $96.3 million.

Terex Lifting's gross profit increased $2.9 million to $38.1 million for 1996, compared to $35.2 million for 1995, reflecting the PPM Acquisition, the effect of cost reduction actions put in place at PPM Europe and Terex Lifting--Conway Operations, and improved performance at Terex Lifting--Waverly Operations. These improvements were substantially offset by an impairment charge which resulted from a detailed analysis of future cash flows from operations primarily at Terex Lifting--Conway Operations facility. Excluding the impairment charge, Terex Lifting's gross profit in 1996 increased $19.7 million as compared to 1995 and the gross profit percentage increased to 15.1% as compared to 14.0% in 1995.

Terex Earthmoving's gross profit decreased $4.6 million to $31.3 million in 1996 compared to $35.9 million for 1995. Excluding the $10.4 million non-recurring charges noted above, Terex Earthmoving's gross profit increased $5.8 million in 1996 as compared to 1995. The $10.4 million non-recurring charges are comprised mainly of $8.6 million at Unit Rig for the reduction in value of the Unit Rig Tulsa facility due to changes in production methods, and $1.9 million of goodwill associated with TEL's acquisition of its UK distributor, Terex (UK) Limited, which was written off and recorded as an impairment charge in 1996. Exclusive of these non-recurring charges, the gross profit percentage in 1996 decreased to 13.2% from 14.3% in 1995 due to an increase in the proportion of machine sales as compared to parts sales. Parts sales have higher margins than machine sales.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses (which include the Company's research and development expenses) increased to $64.1 million in 1996 from $57.6 million for 1995, reflecting the effects of the PPM Acquisition. However, engineering, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 9.4% for 1996 from 11.5% for 1995. Terex Earthmoving's engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $25.7 million for 1996 from $22.9 million for 1995 primarily due to costs associated with a new parts sales office and a new U.K. dealership. Terex Lifting's engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $33.3 million for 1996 from $28.0 million for 1995, reflecting the PPM Acquisition and non-recurring charges of $1.6 million. See "Business--Research and Development" for a discussion of the Company's engineering expenses.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Terex Lifting's income from operations of $4.8 million for 1996 decreased by $2.4 million over 1995, primarily due to the impairment charges at the Terex Lifting--Conway Operations facility, which were offset somewhat by the increased net sales and the effect of cost control initiatives implemented at all PPM operations since they were acquired by the Company, and continued strong performance by Terex Lifting--Waverly Operations.

Terex Earthmoving's income from operations decreased by $7.4 million to $5.6 million for 1996 from $13.0 million in 1995, primarily due to the non-recurring charges mentioned above under "Gross Profit." Excluding these charges, income from operations increased to $16.0 million.

On a consolidated basis, the Company had operating income of $5.1 million for 1996, compared to operating income of $12.8 million for 1995, for the reasons mentioned above.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased to $43.6 million for 1996 from $38.0 million in 1995 as a result of incremental borrowings associated with the PPM Acquisition.

Other Income (Expense)

The Company realized gains in 1996 of $3.3 million from the sale of excess property principally in Scotland and Italy. During 1996, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $12.1 million; in 1995, the Company recorded no


22

provision for income taxes. The 1996 provision for income taxes primarily relates to $11.3 million of tax expense recognized at PPM Europe in connection with its recapitalization which required the Company to utilize a net operating loss carryforward. The additional $0.8 million provision relates to taxes due on the sale of property in Europe.

In 1995, the Company had a gain of $1.0 million from the sale of stock of a former subsidiary and recorded a charge of $0.5 million to recognize the impairment in value of certain properties held for sale.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations in the Company's Material Handling Segment increased $97.6 million to $102.0 million for 1996 as compared to $4.4 million in 1995. The increased income was primarily due to the gain realized on the Clark Sale of $84.5 million. Gross profit for 1996 (through the date of the Clark Sale) increased $1.2 million to $46.0 million as compared to 1995 even though net sales decreased $124.2 million or 23%. Additionally, in 1995 the Clark Material Handling Segment recorded charges of $6.0 million related to severance costs, exit costs and the impairment in value of certain properties held for sale.

Extraordinary Items

The Company recorded a charge of $7.5 million in 1995 to recognize a loss on the early extinguishment of debt in connection with its debt refinancing in May 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's businesses are working capital intensive and require funding for purchases of production and replacement parts inventories, capital expenditures for repair, replacement and upgrading of existing facilities as well as financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant debt service requirements.

Debt reduction and an improved capital structure are major focal points for the Company. In this regard, the Company regularly reviews its alternatives to improve its capital structure and to reduce debt through debt refinancings, issuances of equity, asset sales, including the sale of business units, or any combination thereof. As part of its strategy the Company has consummated several transactions over the past 18 months which have strengthened its capital structure and significantly reduced its cost of funds.

On November 27, 1996, the Company completed the Clark Sale for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $139.5 million. Upon closing, the Company initially used the proceeds to pay down its then existing domestic credit facility. Then, on December 30, 1996, the Company called all of its issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for redemption on January 29, 1997 (the "Series A Redemption Date"). The Series A Preferred Stock was accreting initially at a rate of 13% per annum, which was to increase to 18% per annum at the end of 1998. All 1,200,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the Series A Redemption Date were redeemed at a redemption price of $37.80 per share, or approximately $45.4 million in aggregate.

On July 28, 1997 and August 7, 1997, the Company issued an additional 5,000,000 shares and 700,000 shares, respectively, of its Common Stock in an underwritten public stock offering. The shares were issued at a price to the public of $19.50 per share. The net proceeds received by the Company were $104.6 million. A portion of the proceeds from the stock offering were initially used to reduce borrowings under the Company's then existing domestic revolving credit facility. On September 4, 1997, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the stock offering to redeem $83.3 million of the Senior Secured Notes. The total funds paid at the redemption were $94.6 million ($83.3 million principal, $7.9 million redemption premium and $3.4 million accrued interest). As a result of the redemption of a portion of the Senior Secured Notes, the annual interest payments on the Senior Secured Notes decreased from $33.1 million to $22.1 million, a savings of $11.0 million per year.

In December 1997, two additional transactions were completed that further improved the Company's capital structure. On December 10, 1997, the Company eliminated all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock of its subsidiary, Terex Cranes, Inc. (the "Subsidiary Preferred Stock"), by merging Terex Cranes, Inc. with the Company and exchanging the Subsidiary Preferred Stock (originally issued in connection with the PPM Acquisition) into 705,969 shares of Common Stock of the Company. On December 30, 1997, all of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which was accreting initially at a rate of 13% per annum, and was to increase to 18% per annum at the end of 1998, were converted by the holder thereof into 87,300 shares of Common Stock of the Company.


23

On March 6, 1998, the Company consummated the New Bank Credit Facility, the refinancing of substantially all of its domestic and foreign revolving credit facilities, and the purchase or defeasance of all of the Company's outstanding Senior Secured Notes. The New Bank Credit Facility consists of the New Revolving Credit Facility aggregating up to $125 million and the Term Loan Facilities providing for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $375 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities were used by the Company to
(i) finance the purchase of the $166.7 million of its then outstanding Senior Secured Notes and pay the premium and accrued interest in connection therewith and (ii) repay in full the outstanding indebtedness and related fees and expenses under certain of the Company's then existing credit facilities. In connection with these actions, the Company will incur an extraordinary loss of $38.4 million in the first quarter of 1998. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities will also be used to fund a portion of the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of O&K Mining. The New Revolving Credit Facility, which is currently undrawn, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On March 24, 1998, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to issue and sell $150 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2008 (the "New Senior Subordinated Notes"). The New Senior Subordinated Notes are being issued and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the closing is expected to occur on March 31, 1998. The New Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured and repayment is guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds of the issuance and sale of the New Senior Subordinated Notes will be used to fund a portion of the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of O&K Mining and for general corporate purposes.

Net cash of $0.3 million was used by operating activities during 1997. $85.4 million was provided by operating results plus depreciation and amortization, and approximately $9.8 million was invested in working capital during the period to support the increase in business activity at Terex Lifting and TEL. The remaining effect on cash from operations for the period was due to the costs of financing. Net cash used in investing activities was $98.6 million during 1997, primarily related to the purchase of the Simon Access Companies and Baraga Products, Inc. Net cash provided by financing activities was $64.2 million during 1997. Cash was provided by the net proceeds from the public offering of common stock and additional borrowings primarily related to the purchase of the Simon Access Companies. Cash was used for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and the redemption of a portion of the Senior Secured Notes. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.7 million at December 31, 1997.

Factors Affecting Future Liquidity

The Company's debt service obligations for 1998 include quarterly interest and principal payments on the Term Loan Facilities and variable periodic payments on the New Revolving Credit Facility and will include semi-annual interest payments due on the Senior Subordinated Notes issued in connection with the O&K Mining acquisition. Management believes that with cash generated from operations, together with borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility (which is currently undrawn), the Company has adequate liquidity to meet the Company's operating and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.

The New Bank Credit Facility places certain limits on the Company's ability, among other things, to incur indebtedness and liens, pay dividends and make other payments, consummate mergers and asset acquisitions and sales, enter into related party transactions and make capital expenditures and investments. The New Bank Credit Facility also contains certain financial and operating covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Foreign Currencies and Interest Rate Risk

The Company's products are sold in over 50 countries around the world and, accordingly, revenues of the Company are generated in foreign currencies, while the costs associated with those revenues are only partly incurred in the same currencies. The major foreign currencies, among others, in which the Company does business are the Pound Sterling and the French Franc. Following consummation of the O&K Mining acquisition, the Company will also conduct significant business in Deutsche Marks. The Company may, from time to time, hedge specifically identified committed cash flows in foreign currencies using forward currency sale or purchase contracts. Such foreign currency contracts have not historically been material in amount.

Because certain of the Company's obligations, including indebtedness under the New Bank Credit Facility, will bear interest at floating rates, an increase in interest rates could adversely affect, among other things, the ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations. The Company has entered into interest protection arrangements with respect to approximately $220 million of the principal amount of its indebtedness under the New Bank Credit Facility fixing interest at various rates between 6.6% and 8.3%.

Contingencies and Uncertainties

The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") is currently examining the Company's Federal tax returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company received an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency. The examination report raised a variety of issues, including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken during this period, the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") and the availability of such NOLs to offset future taxable income. The Company filed an administrative appeal to the examination report in April 1995. In June 1996, the Company was advised that the matter was being referred back to the audit division of the IRS. The IRS is currently reviewing information provided by the Company. The ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the resolution of significant legal and factual issues. Given the stage of the audit, and the


24

number and complexity of the legal and administrative proceedings involved in reaching a resolution of this matter, it is unlikely that the ultimate outcome, if unfavorable to the Company, will be determined for at least several years. If the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the amount of the tax assessment would be approximately $56 million plus penalties of approximately $12.8 million and interest through December 31, 1997 of approximately $94.5 million. The penalties asserted by the IRS are calculated as 20% of the amount of the tax assessed for fiscal year 1987 and 25% of the tax assessed for each of fiscal years 1988 and 1989. Interest on the amount of tax assessed and penalties is currently accruing at a rate of 11% per annum. The applicable annual rate of interest has historically varied from 7% to 12%.

If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with related interest and penalties, such payment might exceed the Company's resources. In such event, the viability of the Company would be placed in jeopardy, and it is uncertain that the Company could, through financing or otherwise, obtain the funds required to pay such assessment, interest, and applicable penalties. Management believes, however, that the Company will be able to provide adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial support for the Company's past and future utilization of the NOLs. Based upon consultation with its tax advisors, management believes that the Company's position will prevail on the most significant issues. Accordingly, management believes that the outcome of the examination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, but may result in some reduction in the amount of the NOLs available to the Company. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due as a result of this matter because the possible loss ranges from zero to $56 million plus interest and penalties, and the ultimate outcome cannot be determined or estimated at this time. No reserves are being expensed to cover the potential liability.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had federal NOLs of approximately $290.5 million. The Company would be subject to an annual limitation (described below) on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income if the Company undergoes an ownership change (an "Ownership Change") within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 382"). Generally, an Ownership Change is deemed to occur if the aggregate cumulative increase in the percentage ownership of the capital stock of the Company (which generally includes for this purpose, but is not limited to, the common stock and certain options and warrants) by persons owning 5% or more of such capital stock and certain public groups (within the meaning of Section 382) is more than 50 percentage points in any three-year testing period. In the event of an Ownership Change, the Company's utilization of its NOLs would be limited to an annual amount (without extending the applicable 15-year carryforward period for NOLs) equal to the product of the fair market value of the Company immediately before such Ownership Change (as determined pursuant to Section 382, which may provide for certain reductions in value) multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate, which is an interest-indexed rate that is published monthly by the IRS and which is approximately 5.23% as of the date of this Annual Report. NOLs arising after the date that any Ownership Change occurs will be unaffected by such Ownership Change.

It is impossible for the Company to ensure that an Ownership Change will not occur in the future, in part because the Company has no ability to restrict the acquisition or disposition of the Company's capital stock by persons whose ownership could cause an Ownership Change. In addition, the Company may in the future take certain actions which, alone or coupled with other events, could give rise to an Ownership Change, if in the exercise of the business judgment of the Company such actions (which may include future issuances of equity securities) are necessary or desirable. If an Ownership Change were to occur, the NOL annual limitation under Section 382 could substantially reduce the Company's future after-tax earnings and cash flow.

In March 1994, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") initiated a private investigation, which included the Company and certain of its present and former officers and affiliates, to determine whether violations of certain aspects of the Federal securities laws had occurred. To date, the


25

inquiry of the Commission has primarily focused on accounting treatment and reporting matters relating to various transactions which took place in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Company is cooperating with the Commission in its investigation. The Company has recently been advised by the Staff of the Commission that it has been authorized by the Commission to institute an administrative proceeding against the Company and certain of its present and former officers and affiliates. Based on information currently available to the Company, it is the Company's understanding that if a proceeding were to be brought, the Staff intends to seek an order to cease and desist violations of the Federal securities laws (without monetary penalties) based on claims relating to accounting treatment and reporting matters with respect to the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1990 and 1991, as well as the Company's Proxy Statement covering the 1992 fiscal year. It is not possible at this time to determine the outcome of the Commission's investigation.

During 1997, in connection with the Commission's investigation, the Company incurred $0.2 million of legal fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, directors and executives of the Company, and KCS. In general, under the Company's by-laws, the Company is obligated to indemnify officers and directors for all liabilities arising in the course of their duties on behalf of the Company. To date, no officer or director has had legal representation separate from the Company's legal representation, and no allocation of the legal fees for such representation has been made.

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including product liability claims, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations and guarantees. Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are at a preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. However, management does not believe that these contingencies and uncertainties will, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in the normal course of its manufacturing operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including CERCLA, that (i) govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices for hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a continuing basis. The Company does not expect that these expenditures will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

The accompanying unaudited quarterly financial data of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Item 302 of Regulation S-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made and were of a normal recurring nature except for those discussed below.

The results of the Company's Material Handling Segment have been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Item 1. - Business.

In 1997, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt -- $2.6 million in connection with the refinancing of its then existing revolving credit in the second quarter and $12.2 million in connection with the redemption of $83.3 million of its Senior Secured Notes in the third quarter.

In 1996, the Company recognized a gain of $2.4 million in the first quarter from the sale of excess property in Scotland. In 1996 Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes the gain, net of income taxes, of $84.5 million on the sale of CMHC in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company recorded special charges of $45.1 million, including impairment charges of $18.7 million (see Note D -- "Impairment of Long Lived Assets and Other Special Charges"), a reduction in the value of certain assets of $8.6 million, $2.0 million related to pre-purchase tax contingencies at PPM, $3.0 million of other one time accruals, and income tax expense of $12.1 million (see Note I -- "Income Taxes"). Net income (loss) has been reduced by Preferred Stock accretion for purposes of calculating earnings per share amounts. See Note J -- "Preferred Stock" in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In the fourth quarter of 1996 preferred stock accretion was $16.9 million, which included $14.5 of additional accretion due to the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock on January 29, 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Terex Corporation

In our opinion, the Terex Corporation consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index on page F-1 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Terex Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997
(dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)

NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. As set forth in Note B below, the Company sold its Clark Material Handling business on November 27, 1996. The sale resulted in a gain of $84.5. The Clark Material Handling business is accounted for as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Generally accepted accounting principles permit, but do not require, the allocation of interest expense between continuing and discontinued operations. Because the methods allowed under generally accepted accounting principles for calculating interest expense to be allocated to discontinued operations are not necessarily indicative of the use of proceeds from the sale of the Clark Material Handling business by the Company, and the effect on interest expense of the continuing operations of the Company, the Company has elected not to allocate interest expense to discontinued operations. The results of this election is that loss from continuing operations includes substantially all of the interest expense of the Company, and income from discontinued operations does not include any material interest expense.

Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Terex Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company"). All material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated. The equity method is used to account for investments in affiliates in which the Company has an ownership interest between 20% and 50%. Investments in entities in which the Company has an ownership interest of less than 20% are accounted for on the cost method or at fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company's financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Capitalized debt issuance costs related to debt that is retired early are charged to expense at the time of retirement. Debt issuance costs before amortization totaled $12.6 and $16.9 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company amortized $2.6, $2.6 and $2.3, respectively, of capitalized debt issuance costs; in addition, $4.1 and $7.5 of such costs were charged to extraordinary loss on retirement of debt in 1997 and 1995, respectively.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets include purchased patents and trademarks. Costs allocated to patents, trademarks and other specifically identifiable assets arising from business combinations are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated useful lives not exceeding seven years.

Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over between fifteen and forty years. Accumulated amortization is $8.9 and $5.6 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs not expected to extend the life of an asset beyond its normal useful life are charged to expense when incurred. Plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets


F-8

under the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes and both straight-line and other methods for tax purposes.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets. The Company's policy is to assess the realizability of its long lived assets and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows is less than its carrying value. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between estimated future discounted cash flows and the carrying value of the asset. (See Note D -- "Impairment of Long Lived Assets and Other Special Charges.")

Revenue Recognition. Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to customers. Certain new units may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has requested that the Company hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer in the sales documents. In such cases, the units are invoiced under the Company's customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from the Company's inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and the Company has no further obligations under the order.

Accrued Warranties and Product Liability. The Company records accruals for potential warranty and product liability claims based on the Company's claim experience. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company provides self-insurance accruals for estimated product liability experience on known claims and for claims anticipated to have been incurred which have not yet been reported. The Company's product liability accruals are presented on a gross settlement basis.

Non Pension Postretirement Benefits. The Company provides postretirement benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees and certain hourly employees covered by bargaining unit contracts that provide such benefits and has elected the delayed recognition method of adoption of the new standard related to the benefits. (See Note L -- "Retirement Plans.")

Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's international operations are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. For operations whose functional currency is the local currency, translation adjustments are accumulated in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment component of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Other income (expense) -- net.

Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge recorded balance sheet amounts related to certain international operations and firm commitments that create currency exposures. The Company does not enter into speculative contracts. Gains and losses on hedges of assets and liabilities are recognized in income as offsets to the gains and losses from the underlying hedged amounts. Gains and losses on hedges of firm commitments are recorded on the basis of the underlying transaction. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Company had foreign exchange contracts, which were hedges of firm commitments, totaling $13.8 and $29.4, respectively, fair value of which approximates their carrying value.

Environmental Policies. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are either expensed or capitalized depending on the nature of the expenditure. Expenditures relating to conditions caused by past operations that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial actions are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such amounts were not material at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products are included in Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses.

Income Taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is dependent on future taxable income. (See Note I -- "Income Taxes.")


F-9

Earnings Per Share. Effective with the fourth quarter of 1997, Terex implemented SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share", which establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and requires the disclosure of basic and diluted amounts. Earnings per share amounts for all prior periods have been restated. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of Terex common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company's previously disclosed amounts, is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of Terex common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents.

NOTE B -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company sold its worldwide Clark Material Handling business ("CMHC") on November 27, 1996 for $139.5 in cash. The sale resulted in a $84.5 gain net of $2.6 of income taxes. CMHC comprised the Company's Material Handling Segment. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 include the results of CMHC in "Income from Discontinued Operations." Please refer to Note A - Basis of Presentation for a discussion of allocation of interest expense. Summary operating results of discontinued operations are as follows:

NOTE C -- ACQUISITIONS

Simon Access and Baraga - On April 7, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of the industrial businesses of Simon Access division ("Simon Access") of Simon Engineering plc for $90 in cash, subject to adjustment. Simon Access consists principally of several business units in the United States and Europe which are engaged in the manufacture and sale of access equipment designed to position people and materials to work at heights. Simon Access products include truck mounted aerial devices, aerial work platforms and truck mounted cranes (boom trucks) which are sold to utility companies as well as to customers in the industrial and construction markets. Specifically, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of (i) Simon-Telelect Inc. (now named Terex-Telelect, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, (ii) Simon Aerials, Inc. (now named Terex Aerials, Inc.), a Wisconsin corporation, (iii) Sim-Tech Management Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong,
(iv) Simon-Cella, S.r.l., a company incorporated under the laws of Italy, and
(v) Simon Aerials Limited (now named Terex Aerials Limited), a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland; and 60% of the outstanding common stock of Simon-Tomen Engineering Company Limited, a limited liability stock company organized under the laws of Japan. Not included in the businesses acquired were Simon Access' fire fighting equipment business. The Company obtained the funds necessary to complete the transaction from its cash on hand and borrowings under a new revolving credit facility. (See Note G - "Long-Term Obligations").

On April 14, 1997 the Company completed the purchase of Baraga Products, Inc. and M&M Enterprises of Baraga, Inc. (collectively, "Baraga", or the "Square Shooter Business"). Baraga manufactures rough terrain telescopic boom forklifts.

The Simon Access and Baraga (the "Acquired Businesses") acquisitions are being accounted for using the purchase method, with the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired (approximately $54.5) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the Simon Access and Baraga businesses are summarized as follows:

Accounts receivable..................................$      23.1
Inventories..........................................       38.8

                                                     ===============

The Company is in the process of completing evaluations and estimates for purposes of determining certain values. The Company has also estimated costs related to plans to integrate the activities of the Acquired Businesses into the Company, including plans to exit certain activities and consolidate and restructure certain functions. The Company may revise the estimates as additional information is obtained.

The operating results of the Acquired Businesses are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations since April 7, 1997 and April 14, 1997, respectively. The following pro forma summary presents the consolidated results of operations as though the Company completed the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses on January 1, 1996, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of goodwill, interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on the New Credit Facility:

PPM - On May 9, 1995, the Company, through Terex Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Terex Cranes, Inc."), completed the acquisition (the "PPM Acquisition") of substantially all of the shares of P.P.M. S.A. ("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., and all of the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., which owns 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc. ("PPM North America;" and PPM North America together with PPM Europe collectively referred to as "PPM") from Legris Industries S.A. PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and Western Europe under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and BENDINI. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the Company contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring Cranes and Excavators and Marklift division to Terex Cranes. The former division now operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Cranes Inc. ("Koehring").

The purchase price of PPM, including acquisition costs, was approximately $104.5. Approximately $92.6 of the purchase price was paid in cash, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM required to be repaid in connection with the acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price consisted of the issuance of redeemable preferred stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $21.4, subject to adjustment. On December 10, 1997, the Company issued 706.0 thousand shares of Terex Common Stock in exchange for the outstanding preferred stock of Terex Cranes. At the time of the exchange Terex recorded an additional $3.2 preferred stock accretion to reflect the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock issued and the carrying value of the Terex Cranes preferred stock.

The PPM Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the PPM Acquisition were:

NOTE D -- IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES

As required by generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill was allocated in the PPM Acquisition to various operating units. After eighteen months of continuous rationalization, estimated future undiscounted cash flows for certain operations would not be sufficient to recover the goodwill and fixed assets recorded for these operations. Thus, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.8 ($13.3 related to goodwill and $3.5 related to fixed assets). Similarly, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company wrote off $1.9 of goodwill related to its IMACO unit in the United Kingdom. These 1996 impairment charges totaling $18.7 are included in "Cost of Goods Sold."

In addition to the impairment charges described above, the Company recorded special charges of $8.6 to reduce the value of assets at Unit Rig, $2.0 related to 1993 tax matters at PPM Europe, and $3.0 of other one-time charges during the fourth quarter of 1996.

The Senior Secured Notes

On May 9, 1995, the Company issued $250 of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2002. The Senior Secured Notes were issued in conjunction with the PPM Acquisition and a refinancing of 13.0% Senior Secured Notes due August 1, 1996 ("Old Senior Secured Notes"), and 13.5% Secured Senior Subordinated Notes due July 1, 1997 ("Subordinated Notes"). Except in the event of certain asset sales, there are no principal repayment or sinking fund requirements prior to maturity. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year to holders of record on the immediately preceding May 1 and November 1, respectively. The Notes bear interest at 13.25% per annum. Prior to the consummation of an exchange offer on November 5, 1996, the interest rate on the Notes was 13.75% per annum. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.


F-13

The Senior Secured Notes are senior obligations of the Company, pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all subordinated indebtedness. Repayment of the Senior Secured Notes is guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors"). The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, other than cash and cash equivalents, except that as to accounts receivable and inventory and proceeds thereof, and certain related rights, such security shall be subordinated to liens securing obligations outstanding under any working capital or revolving credit facility secured by such accounts receivable and inventory, including the Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Notes are also secured by a lien on certain assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The indenture for the 13.25% Senior Secured Notes (the "Indenture") places certain limits on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue, pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; sell assets; consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into transactions with affiliates.

As required by the Indenture, the Company, following the sale of CMHC, offered to repurchase (the "Offer") $100 principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes. The Offer expired on December 27, 1996, with no Senior Secured Notes being tendered for repurchase. As a result, the $100 of sale proceeds was available for other corporate purposes.

On July 28, 1997 and August 7, 1997, the Company issued an additional five million shares and 700 thousand shares, respectively, of its Common Stock in a public stock offering. The shares were issued at a price to the public of $19.50 per share. The net proceeds received by the Company after deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses was $104.6. On September 4, 1997, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $83.3 in principal of the Secured Senior Notes. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes was at a 9.46% redemption premium. The redemption premium plus the pro-rata share of unamortized debt origination costs totaled $12.2 and have been reflected as extraordinary items in the third quarter of 1997.

The 1997 Credit Facility

On April 7, 1997, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered a Revolving Credit Agreement with a financial institution, as agent (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Agent and other financial institutions party thereto have provided the Borrowers with a line of credit of up to $125 secured by accounts receivable and inventory (the "1997 Credit Facility"). The 1997 Credit Facility replaced the Company's $100 revolving credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility").

Loans made under the 1997 Credit Facility (a) bear interest, based on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, at a rate between 0.5% and 1.5% per annum in excess of the prime rate or at a rate between 2.0% and 3.0% per annum in excess of the eurodollar rate, at the election of the Company, (b) mature on April 7, 2000, (c) were used by the Borrowers to repay the Old Credit Facility, and (d) are to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

The Old Credit Facility

The Old Credit Facility was terminated in April 1997 in conjunction with the Simon Access acquisition and entering into the 1997 Credit Facility. The Company paid a fee of $2.0 upon termination of the Old Credit Facility. Additionally, $0.6 of unamortized debt acquisition costs related to the Old Credit Facility were written off at the termination of the Old Credit Facility. These expenses have been reflected as extraordinary items in the second quarter of 1997.

The Company had the option to base the interest rate on prime or the Eurodollar rate. The outstanding principal amount of prime rate loans was at the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate. The outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar rate loans was at the rate of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate.

Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes

The Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes were retired on May 9, 1995 in conjunction with the PPM Acquisition and the issuance of the 13.25% Senior Secured Notes. The Company realized an extraordinary loss of $5.7 and $1.6 on the early extinguishment of the Old Senior Secured Notes and the Subordinated Notes, respectively.


F-14

Old TEL Facility

In 1995, the Company's subsidiary, Terex Equipment Limited ("TEL") located in Motherwell, Scotland, entered into a bank facility (the "TEL Facility") which provides up to (pound)47.0 ($80.5) including up to (pound)10.0 ($17.1) non-recourse discounting of accounts receivable which meet certain credit criteria, plus additional facilities for tender and performance bonds, letters of credit discounting and foreign exchange contracts. Interest rates vary between 1.0% - 1.5% above the financial institution's Published Base Rate or LIBOR. The TEL Facility is collateralized primarily by the related accounts receivable. The TEL Facility requires no performance covenants. Proceeds from the TEL Facility are primarily used for working capital purposes. Amounts discounted under this and the prior facility were $12.7, $6.9 and $11.7 at December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

Schedule of Debt Maturities

See Note P - "Subsequent Events" for a discussion regarding the refinancing of substantially all of the debt of the Company in the first quarter of 1998.

Prior to the refinancing in the first quarter of 1998, scheduled annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 1997 in the successive five-year period are summarized below. Amounts shown are exclusive of minimum lease payments disclosed in Note H -- "Lease Commitments":

                                        ===========

Based on quoted market values, the Company believes that the fair value of the Senior Secured Notes was approximately $190.4 as of December 31, 1997. The Company believes that, based on quoted market values, the carrying value of its other borrowings approximates fair market value, based on discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities.

The Company paid $39.8, $45.3 and $43.0 of interest in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings outstanding was 8.3% at December 31, 1997 and 10.0% at December 31, 1996.

NOTE H -- LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles with varying terms. Under most leasing arrangements, the Company pays the property taxes, insurance, maintenance and expenses related to the leased property. Certain of the equipment leases are classified as capital leases and the related assets have been included in Property, Plant and Equipment. Net assets under capital leases were $21.9 and $8.2 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $8.2 and $9.6 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Most of the Company's operating leases provide the Company with the option to renew the leases for varying periods after the initial lease terms. These renewal options enable the Company to renew the leases based upon the fair rental values at the date of expiration of the initial lease. Total rental expense under operating leases was $6.8, $4.7 and $3.9 in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement purposes. A valuation allowance has been recognized for the full amount of the deferred tax assets as it is not more likely than not that they will be fully utilized. The tax effects of the basis differences and net operating loss carryforward as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are summarized below for major balance sheet captions:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1996 was $149.6. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 were a decrease of $34.6 and an increase of $43.3, respectively.

The Company's Provision for Income Taxes is different from the amount which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company's Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Extraordinary Items. The reasons for the difference are summarized below:

                                                                         Year ended December 31,

The effective tax rate for discontinued operations differs from the statutory rate due primarily to utilization of NOLs and foreign tax differential on the income of foreign subsidiaries.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on $37.8 of foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 1997, because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. Any income tax liability that would result had such earnings actually been repatriated would likely be offset by utilization of NOLs. On repatriation, certain foreign countries impose withholding taxes. The amount of withholding tax that would be payable on remittance of the entire amount of undistributed earnings would approximate $6.6.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had domestic federal net operating loss carryforwards of $290.5. Approximately $66.6 of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards are subject to special limitations under the Internal Revenue Code, and the NOLs may be affected by the current Interal Revenue Service (the "IRS") examination discussed below.

The tax basis net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:

The Company also has various state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2012 available to reduce future state taxable income and income taxes. In addition, the Company's foreign subsidiaries have approximately $78.4 of loss carryforwards, $33.6 in the United Kingdom, $23.1 in France, and $21.7 in other countries, which are available to offset future foreign taxable income. The tax loss carryforwards in the United Kingdom and other countries are available without expiration. Tax loss carryforwards in France of $6.7 expire in 2000 and 2002, with the remaining $16.4 available without expiration.

The IRS is currently examining the Company's Federal tax returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company received an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency. The examination report raised a variety of issues, including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken during this period, the Company's utilization of certain NOLs and the availability of such NOLs to offset future taxable income. The Company filed an administrative appeal to the examination report in April 1995. As a result of a meeting with the Manhattan division of the IRS in July 1995, in June 1996 the Company was advised that the matter was being referred back to the Milwaukee audit division of the IRS. The Milwaukee audit division of the IRS is currently reviewing information provided by the Company. The ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the resolution of significant legal and factual issues. Given the stage of the audit, and the number and complexity of the legal and administrative proceedings involved in reaching a resolution of the matter, it is unlikely that the ultimate outcome, if unfavorable to the Company, will be determined for at least several years. If the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the amount of the tax assessment would be approximately $56 plus penalties of approximately $12.8 and interest through December 31, 1997 of approximately $94.5. The penalties asserted by the IRS are calculated as 20% of the amount of the tax assessed for fiscal year 1987 and 25% of the tax assessed for each of fiscal years 1988 and 1989. Interest on the amount of tax assessed and penalties is currently accruing at a rate of 11% per annum. The applicable annual rate of interest has historically carried from 7% to 12%.

If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with related interest and penalties, such payment might exceed the Company's resources. In such event, the viability of the Company would be placed in jeopardy, and it is uncertain that the Company could, through financing or otherwise, obtain the funds required to pay such assessment, interest, and applicable penalties. Management believes, however, that the Company will be able to provide adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial support for the Company's past and future utilization of the NOLs. Based upon consultation with its tax advisors, management believes that the Company's position will prevail on the most significant issues. Accordingly, management believes that the outcome of the examination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, but may result in some reduction in the amount of the NOLs available to the Company. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due as a result of this matter because the possible loss ranges from zero to $56 million plus interest and penalties,

and the ultimate outcome cannot be determined or estimated at this time. No reserves are being expensed to cover the potential liability.

The Company made income tax payments of $1.8 in 1997. No income tax payments were made in 1996 and 1995.

NOTE J -- PREFERRED STOCK

The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended in October 1993 to authorize 10.0 million shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share. As of December 31, 1997, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding as described below.

Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 1.2 million issued and outstanding shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The Liquidation Preference totaled $45.4 at December 31, 1996. On December 30, 1996, the Company called all of its Series A Preferred Stock for redemption and subsequently redeemed the stock in January 1997 at an aggregate redemption price of $45.4.

The aggregate net proceeds to the Company for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Warrants issued on December 20, 1993 were $27.2. The Company allocated $10.3 and $16.9 of this amount to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Warrants, respectively, based on management's estimate of the relative fair values of these securities at the time of their issuance, using information provided by the Company's investment bankers. The difference between the initially recorded amount and the redemption amount was accreted to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock using the interest method over the period from issuance to the mandatory redemption date, December 31, 2000. As a result of calling all of the stock for redemption on December 30, 1996, the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock was further adjusted for increases in the Liquidation Preference. There was no accretion recorded in 1997. The total accretion recorded in 1996 and 1995 was $22.9 and $7.3, respectively.

Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 38.8 thousand issued and outstanding shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). These shares constituted the remaining balance outstanding of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain individuals on December 9, 1994 in consideration for the early termination of a contract between the Company and KCS Industries, L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership ("KCS"), a related party. On December 30, 1997 all 38.8 thousand outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted by the holder thereof into 87.3 thousand shares of common stock.

NOTE K -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Common Stock. The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended in October 1993 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock"), to 30.0 million. As of December 31, 1997, there were 20.5 million shares issued and outstanding. Of the 9.5 million unissued shares at that date, $1.7 million shares were reserved for issuance for the exercise of stock options and Series A Warrants.

Equity Rights. On May 9, 1995, the Company sold one million equity rights securities (the "Equity Rights") along with $250 of the Senior Secured Notes. A portion of the proceeds ($3.2) of the sale of the Senior Secured Notes and the Equity Rights was allocated to the Equity Rights. The portion of the proceeds related to the Equity Rights has been reclassified from other non-current liabilities to the stockholders' equity (deficit) section of the balance sheet, because they can be satisfied in Common Stock or cash at the option of the Company. The Equity Rights entitle the holders, upon exercise at any time on or prior to May 15, 2002, to receive cash or, at the election of the Company, Common Stock in an amount equal to the average closing sale price of the Common Stock for the 60 consecutive trading days prior to the date of exercise (the "Current Price"), less $7.288 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Changes in the Current Price do not affect the net income or loss reported by the Company; however, changes in the Current Price vary the amount of cash that the Company would have to pay or the number of Shares of Common Stock that would have to be issued in the event holders exercise the Equity Rights. As of December 31, 1997, the Current Price of the Common Stock was $21.891, which would have required the Company to either pay $14.6 or issue


F-19

621.4 thousand shares of Common Stock, at the Company's option, in the event that all of the holders had exercised their Equity Rights.

Series A Warrants. In connection with the private placement of the Series A Preferred Stock (see Note J -- "Series A Preferred Stock"), the Company issued 1.3 million Series A Warrants of which 66.4 thousand warrants were outstanding at December 31, 1997. Each Series A Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder at any time before the expiration date on December 31, 2000 and is redeemable by the Company under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 1997, upon the exercise or redemption of a Warrant, the holder thereof was entitled to receive 2.41 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price for the Warrants is $.01 for each share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or redemption of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Series B Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock (see Note J -- "Series B Preferred Stock"), the Company issued 107.0 thousand Series B Warrants. At December 31, 1997, all Series B Warrants had been exercised. The exercise price for the Warrants was $.01 for each share of Common Stock.

Stock Options. The Company maintains a qualified incentive stock option ("ISO") plan covering certain officers and key employees. The exercise price of the ISO is the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. The ISO allows the holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, commencing one year after grant. ISO expire after ten years. At December 31, 1997, 11.1 thousand stock options were available for grant under the ISO.

Long-Term Incentive Plans. In May 1996, the shareholders approved, the 1996 Terex Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan authorizes the granting of (i) options ("Stock Option Awards") to purchase shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock ("Stock Awards"), and (iii) cash bonus awards based upon a participant's job performance ("Performance Awards"). Subject to adjustment as described below under "Adjustments," the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock, if any) optioned or granted under the 1996 Plan was not to exceed 300 thousand shares. In May 1997, the shareholders approved that the aggregate number of shares available under the 1996 Plan be increased to 1.0 million shares. At December 31, 1997, 489.5 thousand shares were available for grant under the 1996 Plan. The 1996 Plan provides that a committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more members thereof who are non-employee directors, shall administer the 1996 Plan and has provided the Committee with the flexibility to respond to changes in the competitive and legal environments, thereby protecting and enhancing the Company's current and future ability to attract and retain directors and officers and other key employees and consultants. The 1996 Plan also provides for automatic grants of Stock Option Awards to non-employee directors.

In 1994, the shareholders approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") covering certain managerial, administrative and professional employees and outside directors. The Plan provides for awards to employees, from time to time and as determined by a committee of outside directors, of cash bonuses, stock options, stock and/or restricted stock. The total number of shares of the Company's common stock available to be awarded under the Plan is 750 thousand, subject to certain adjustments. At December 31, 1997, 15.6 thousand shares were available for grant under the Plan.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its plans and does not recognize compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans other than for restricted stock. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced by $1.1 ($0.07 (basic) and $0.06 (diluted) per share), $0.6 ($0.05 (basic) and 0.04 (diluted) per share) and $0.6 ($0.06 (basic and diluted) per share) in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


F-21

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend yields of 0%, 0% and 0%; expected volatility of 57.50%, 58.72% and 63.76%; risk-free interest rates of 6.34%, 6.42% and 5.57%; and expected life of 8.1 years, 6.6 years and 8.6 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 for which the exercise price equals the market price on the grant date was $1.7, $0.4 and $1.6, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

NOTE L -- RETIREMENT PLANS

Pension Plans

US Plans - The Company maintains four defined benefit pension plans covering certain domestic employees. The benefits for the plans covering the salaried employees are based primarily on years of service and employees' qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. Participation in the plan for salaried employees was frozen as of May 7, 1993, and no participants will be credited with service following such date except that participants not fully vested will be credited with service for purposes of determining vesting only. The benefits for the plans covering the hourly employees are based primarily on years of service and a flat dollar amount per year of service. It is the Company's policy generally to fund these plans based on the minimum requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Plan assets consist primarily of common stocks, bonds, and short-term cash equivalent funds.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% for the periods presented. The discount rate assumption was 7.0% for 1997, 7.5% for 1996 and 7.5% for 1995.

In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," the Company has recorded an adjustment of $1.8 and $2.0 to recognize a minimum pension liability at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This liability is offset by a direct reduction of stockholders' equity (deficit).

In December 1993, Terex contributed 350.0 thousand shares of Terex Common Stock to the Master Trust for the benefit of two of the Terex plans, which were valued by the Company at $2.3 based upon 96.5% of the market value of Terex Common Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the day of contribution. The market value of this investment was $8.2 at December 31, 1997.

International Plans - TEL maintains a government-required defined benefit plan (which includes certain defined contribution elements) covering substantially all of its management employees. This plan is fully funded. Pension expense relating to this plan was approximately $0.5, $0.4 and $0.3 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Terex Aerials Limited (Ireland) maintains a voluntary, defined pension plan covering its employees. Pension expense relating to this plan was approximately $0.1 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Saving Plans

The Company sponsors various tax deferred savings plans into which eligible employees may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation. The Company may, but is not obligated to, contribute to certain of these plans.

Other Postemployment Benefits

The Company provides postemployment health and life insurance benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees of Terex Cranes - Waverly Operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," on January 1, 1993. This statement requires accrual of postretirement benefits (such as health care benefits) during the years an employee provides service.

Terex adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 using the delayed recognition method, whereby the amount of the unrecognized transition obligation at January 1, 1993 is recognized prospectively as a component of future years' net periodic postretirement benefit expense. The unrecognized transition obligation at January 1, 1993 was $4.5. Terex is amortizing this transition obligation over 12 years, the average remaining life expectancy of the participants. The liability of the Company, as of December 31, was as follows:

Health care trend rates used in the actuarial assumptions range from 9.0% to 11.5% These rates decrease to 5.5% over a period of 8 to 9 years. The effect of a one percentage-point change in the health care cost trend rates would change the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation approximately 4.8%. The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

The Company's postretirement benefit obligations are not funded. Net periodic postretirement benefit expense for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $0.1, $0.3 and $0.6 greater on the accrual basis than it would have been on the cash basis.

NOTE M -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

In the Company's lines of business numerous suits have been filed alleging damages for accidents that have arisen in the normal course of operations involving the Company's products. The Company is self-insured, up to certain limits, for these product liability exposures, as well as for certain exposures related to general, workers' compensation and automobile liability. Insurance coverage is obtained for catastrophic losses as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management's estimate of the Company's aggregate exposure for such self-insured risks.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings which have arisen in the normal course of its operations. The Company has recorded provisions for estimated losses in circumstances where a loss is probable and the amount or range of possible amounts of the loss is estimable.

The Company's outstanding letters of credit totaled $13.8. The letters of credit generally serve as collateral for certain liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain of the letters of credit serve as collateral guaranteeing the Company's performance under contracts.

As described in Note I -- "Income Taxes," the Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's federal tax returns for the years 1987 through 1989.

The Company has agreed to indemnify certain outside parties for losses related to a former subsidiary's worker compensation obligations. Some of the claims for which Terex is contingently obligated are also covered by bonds issued by an insurance company. The Company recorded liabilities for these contingent obligations representing management's estimate of the potential losses which the Company might incur.

NOTE N -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman had retired from his position with the Company and its Board of Directors. In connection with his retirement, the Company (upon the recommendation of a committee comprised of its independent Directors and represented by independent counsel) and the former chairman have executed a retirement agreement providing certain benefits to the former chairman and the Company. The agreement provides, among other things, for a five-year consulting engagement requiring the former chairman to make himself available to the Company to provide consulting services for certain portions of his time. The former chairman, or his designee, received a fee for consulting services which included payments in an amount, and a rate, equal to his 1995 base salary until December 31, 1996. The agreement also provides for the (i) granting of a five-year $1.8 million loan bearing interest at 6.56% per annum which is subject to being forgiven in increments over the five-year term of the agreement upon certain conditions, and (ii) equity grants having a maximum potential of 200.0 thousand shares of Terex Common Stock conditioned upon the Company achieving certain financial performance objectives in the future. During 1997 the former chairman received 150.0 thousand shares of common stock in accordance with this agreement. In contemplation of the execution of this retirement agreement, the Company advanced to the former chairman the principal amount of the forgivable loan. During 1997 and 1996, the Company forgave $0.6


F-24

and $0.4, respectively, of principal on the loan along with the current interest. The former chairman has also agreed not to compete with the Company, to vote his Terex shares in the manner recommended by the Company's Board of Directors and not to acquire any additional shares of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company, certain directors and executives of the Company, and KCS, have been named parties in various legal proceedings. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company incurred $0.2, $0.3 and $0.3, respectively, of legal fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, directors and executives of the Company, and KCS named in the lawsuits.

On December 31, 1997, an officer and director of the Company retired as an officer. In connection with his retirement, the Company and the former officer entered into an agreement providing certain benefits to the former officer and the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the former officer received an award of 5.0 thousand shares of Common Stock in consideration of his years of service to the Company. The agreement also provides for a two-year consulting engagement requiring the former officer to make himself available to the Company to provide consulting services for a certain portion of his time, for such services he will receive a consulting fee equal to his base salary in 1997 of $0.3 for services provided in 1998 and $0.1 for services provided in 1999.

In 1997, the Company invested $0.1 in a company ("Investee") which was additional reorganizing after declaring bankruptcy. Subsequent to the initial investment, the Company was required to make an additional investment in Investee. As a result, the Company elected not to continue its investment in Investee and not to make the additional required investment. A director of the Company and one of his business associates, acquired the Company's investment in Investee for the amount invested by the Company and assumed the Company's obligations to make additional investments in Investee.

In 1995, the Company retained Jefferies & Company, Inc., of which a director of the Company was then Executive Vice President, in connection with the offering of the Company's $250 Senior Secured Notes and acquisition of PPM which was completed in May 1995. Jefferies & Company, Inc. was paid $9.2 as an underwriting discount and for services rendered.

The Company requires that all transactions with affiliates be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in comparable transactions with an unrelated person. The Board is advised in advance of any such proposed transaction or agreement and utilizes such procedures in evaluating their terms and provisions as are appropriate in light of the Board's fiduciary duties under Delaware law. In addition, the Company has an Audit Committee consisting solely of outside directors. One of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee is to review related party transactions.

NOTE P -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Company has agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of O&K Mining GmbH ("O&K Mining") from O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG ("Orenstein & Koppel") for net aggregate consideration of DM 309 (approximately $172), subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The transaction is scheduled to close on March 31, 1998 and will be financed through the issuance of debt securities and borrowings under the Company's new $500 global bank credit facility, the New Bank Credit Facility (as defined below). O&K Mining, which will be part of the Terex Earthmoving segment, is headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, and has operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, South Africa and Singapore. O&K Mining markets a complete range of large hydraulic excavators serving the global surface mining industry and the global construction and infrastructure development markets.

On March 6, 1998, the Company refinanced its 1997 Credit Facility and redeemed or defeased all of its $166.7 principal amount of its then outstanding Senior Secured Notes. The refinancing included effectiveness of a revolving credit facility aggregating up to $125.0 and term loan facilities providing for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $375.0 (collectively the "New Bank Credit Facility"). In connection with the refinancing of the Company's 1997


F-27

1997 Bank Credit Facility and the repurchase of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company incurred extraordinary losses of $1.9 and $36.5, respectively. These extraordinary charges will be recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

On March 24, 1998, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to issue and sell $150.0 aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 at 8.875%, discounted to yield 8.94% (the "New Senior Subordinated Notes"). It is expected that delivery of the New Senior Subordinated Notes will be made against payment therefore on or about March 31, 1998. The New Senior Subordinated Notes will be issued in a private placement made in reliance upon an exemption from registation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. It is expected that the net proceeds from the offering will be used to fund a portion of the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of O&K Mining and for general working capital purposes.

Ares Leverage Investment Fund L.P. ("Ares"), an affiliate of a director of the Company, participated as a lender under the New Bank Credit Facility for the amount of $15.0. Ares also received a fee of less than $0.1 for participating as a lender under the New Bank Credit Facility. Participation by Ares as a lender under the New Bank Credit facility was made in the ordinary course of Ares' business and on the same terms as all other lenders under the New Bank Credit Facility.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, an affiliate of CIBC Oppenheimer Corp., of which a director of the Company is a managing director, is a lender with a commitment of up to $37.5 and a Co-Documentation Agent under the New Bank Credit Facility. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce received a fee of $0.8 for acting as a Co-Documentation Agent under the New Bank Credit Facility. Participation by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as a lender under the New Bank Credit Facility was made in the ordinary course of its business and on the same terms as all other lenders under the New Bank Credit Facility. In addition, CIBC Oppenheimer Corp. was retained by the Company in connection with the offering of the New Senior Subordinated Notes. CIBC will be paid $0.5 as an underwriting discount upon issuance of the New Senior Subordinated Notes.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

BYLAWS

OF

TEREX CORPORATION

Dated as of March 9, 1998

ARTICLE I. OFFICES

1.1. Principal and Business Offices. The Corporation may have such principal and other business offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

1.2. Registered Office. The registered office of the Corporation required by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be maintained in the State of Delaware may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office in the State of Delaware, and the address of the registered office may be changed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or by the registered agent. The business office of the registered agent of the Corporation shall be identical to such registered office.

ARTICLE II. STOCKHOLDERS

2.1. Annual Meetings. (a) The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such place, on such date and at such time as may be fixed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day fixed as herein provided for any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as conveniently may be.

(b) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this bylaw, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.1.

(c) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (III) of Section 2.1(b), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation


2

not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty
(30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent to being name in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (x) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (y) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 2.1(c) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least seventy (70) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this Section 2.1 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth
(10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(e) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these bylaws, to declare that such defective proposed business or nomination shall be disregarded.

(f) For purposes of these bylaws, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly


3

filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Section 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this bylaw. Nothing in this bylaw shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

2.2 Special Meetings. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in the certificate of inCorporation, special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Board of Directors or by the person or in the manner designated by the Board of Directors. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.

(b) Nominations for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be selected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this
Section 2.2, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.2. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder's notice complies with the notice requirements set forth in clause (i) of Section 2.1(c) and is delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to the date of such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

2.3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors. If no designation is made or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be at the principal executive offices of the Corporation.

2.4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) days (unless a longer period is required by law) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary or other officer or persons calling the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock record books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

2.5. Adjournment. The Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. No notice of the time or place of an adjournment need be given if the


4

time and place are announced at the meeting at which an adjournment is taken, unless the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which case notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat. Unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, the determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at the meeting at which adjournment is taken shall apply to the adjourned meeting.

2.6. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining:

(a) stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;

(b) stockholders entitled to express consent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the first day on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law;

(c) stockholders entitled to express consent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting, when prior action of the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and

(d) stockholders for any other purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.7. Voting Records. The officer having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, make a complete record of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of


5

each stockholder, the number of shares of each class of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote registered in the name of each stockholder and the total number of votes to which each stockholder is entitled. Such record shall be produced and kept open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held as specified in the notice of the meeting or at the place of the meeting. The record shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder present. The original stock transfer books shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of stockholders.

2.8 Quorum; Required Vote. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of InCorporation or as may be required by law, a quorum at a meeting of stockholders will exist if shares of the Corporation holding a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at such meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. In all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes represented at the meeting in person or by proxy voting together as one class shall be the act of the stockholders, unless a greater vote is required by law or the certificate of inCorporation. Unless otherwise required by law or the certificate of inCorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of shares represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

2.9. Conduct of Meeting. (a) Such person as the Board of directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the Chairman of the Board, or, in his or her absence, the President or, in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman appoints.

(b) The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The chairman shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, date and time. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

2.10. Proxies. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed with the Corporation in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission


6

created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. Unless otherwise provided in the proxy and supported by sufficient interest, a proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted, either by written notice filed with the Secretary or the acting secretary of the meeting or by oral notice given by the stockholder to the presiding officer during the meeting. The presence of a stockholder who has filed his proxy shall not of itself constitute a revocation. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make rules establishing presumptions as to the validity and sufficiency of proxies.

2.11. Voting of Shares. (a) Each outstanding share of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to that number of votes, if any, upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders as provided in or in accordance with the certificate of inCorporation.

(b) All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefore by a stockholder entitled to vote or by his or her proxy, a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting.

(c) The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.

2.12. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. (a) Other Corporations. Shares standing in the name of another Corporation may be voted either in person or by proxy, by the president of such Corporation or any other officer appointed by such president. A proxy executed by any principal officer of such other Corporation or assistant thereto shall be conclusive evidence of the signer's authority to act, in the absence of express notice to this Corporation, given in writing to the Secretary of this Corporation, of the designation of some other person by the board of directors or the bylaws of such other Corporation.

(b) Legal Representatives and Fiduciaries.

Shares of record in the names of two or more persons or shares to which two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship, unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given notice otherwise and furnished with a copy of the instrument creating the relationship, may be voted as follows:

(ii) If voted by more than one holder, the majority vote binds all, unless the vote is evenly split in which case the shares may be voted proportionally, or according to the ownership interest as shown in the instrument filed with the Secretary of the Corporation.

2.13. Waiver of Notice by Stockholders. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given to any stockholder of the Corporation under the certificate of inCorporation or bylaws or any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time, whether before or after the time of meeting, by the stockholder entitled to such notice, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

Neither the business nor purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in the waiver.

under the Statute as it may then be in effect or under any other applicable statute or law or otherwise as required;

(2) initiated or brought voluntarily by an Executive to the extent such Executive is successful on the merits or otherwise in connection with such an Action in accordance with and pursuant to Section 10.1(b); or

(3) as to which the Board determines it be appropriate.

(ii) indemnify an Executive against judgments, fines or penalties incurred in a Derivative Action if the Executive is finally adjudged liable to the Corporation by a court (unless the court before which such Derivative Action was brought determines that the Executive is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for any or all of such judgments, fines or;

(iii) indemnify an Executive under this Article X for any amounts paid in settlement of any Action effected without the Corporation's written consent.

(d) The Corporation shall not settle any Action in any manner which would impose any Liabilities or other type of limitation on the Executive without the Executive's written consent. Neither the Corporation nor the Executive shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

(e) An Executive's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan sponsored by or otherwise associated with the Corporation and/or an Affiliate for a purpose he or she reasonably believes to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of such plan is conduct that does not constitute a breach or failure to perform his or her duties to the Corporation or an Affiliate, as the case may be.

10.3. Advance for Expenses. (a) The Corporation shall pay to an Executive, or to such other person or entity as the Executive may designate in writing to the Corporation, his or her reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of such Executive in connection with any Action, or claim, issue or matter associated with any such Action, in advance of the final disposition or conclusion of any such Action (or claim, issue or matter associated with any such Action), within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Executive's written request therefor; provided, the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the Executive has first requested an advance of such Expenses in writing (and delivered a copy of such request to the Corporation) from the insurance carrier(s), if any, to whom a claim has been reported under an applicable insurance policy purchased by the Corporation and each such insurance carrier, if any, has declined to make such an advance;

(ii) the Executive furnishes to the Corporation an executed written certificate affirming his or her good faith belief that he or she has not engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty; and

(iii) the Executive furnishes to the Corporation an executed written agreement to repay any advances made under this Section 10.2 if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation for such Expenses pursuant to this Article X.


19

(b) If the Corporation makes an advance of Expenses to an Executive pursuant to this Section 10.2, the Corporation shall be subrogated to every right of recovery the Executive may have against any insurance carrier from whom the Corporation has purchased insurance for such purpose.

10.4. Determination of Right to Indemnification. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.3 or in Section 10.1(c), any indemnification to be provided to an Executive by the Corporation under Section 10.1(a) upon the final disposition or conclusion of any Action, or any claim, issue or matter associated with any such Action, unless otherwise ordered by a court, shall be paid by the Corporation to the Executive (net of all Expenses, if any, previously advanced to the Executive pursuant to Section 10.2), or to such other person or entity as the Executive may designate in writing to the Corporation, within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the Executive's written request therefor. Such request shall include an accounting of all amounts for which indemnification is being sought. No further corporate authorization for such payment shall be required other than this Section 10.3(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of such requested indemnifiable amounts pursuant to Section 10.1(a) may be denied by the Corporation if:

(i) the Board by a majority vote thereof determines that the Executive has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty; or

(ii) a majority of the directors of the Corporation is party in interest to such Action.

(c) In either event of nonpayment pursuant to Section 10.3(b), the Board shall immediately authorize and direct, by resolution, that an independent determination be made as to whether the Executive has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty and, therefore, whether indemnification of the Executive is proper pursuant to this Article X.

(d) Such independent determination shall be made, at the option of the Executive(s) seeking indemnification, by (i) a panel of three arbitrators (selected as set forth below in Section 10.3(f) from the panels of arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association) in New York, New York, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association; (ii) an independent legal counsel mutually selected by the Executive(s) seeking indemnification and the Board by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of directors who were not parties in interest to such Action (or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by the majority vote of the entire Board); or (iii) a court in accordance with Section 10.4.

(e) In any such determination there shall exist a rebuttable presumption that the Executive has not engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty and is, therefore, entitled to indemnification hereunder. The burden of rebutting such presumption by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation.

(f) If a panel of arbitrators is to be employed hereunder, one


20

of such arbitrators shall be selected by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum thereof consisting of directors who were not parties in interest to such Action (or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by an independent legal counsel chosen by the majority vote of the entire Board), the second by the Executive(s) seeking indemnification and the third by the previous two arbitrators.

(g) The Authority shall make its independent determination hereunder within sixty (60) days of being selected and shall simultaneously submit a written opinion of its conclusions to both the Corporation and the Executive.

(h) If the Authority determines that an Executive is entitled to be indemnified for any amounts pursuant to this Article X, the Corporation shall pay such amounts to the Executive (net of all Expenses, if any, previously advanced to the Executive pursuant to Section 10.2), including interest thereon as provided in Section 10.6(c), or to such other person or entity as the Executive may designate in writing to the Corporation, within ten (10) days of receipt of such opinion.

(i) The Expenses associated with the indemnification process set forth in this Section 10.3, including, without limitation, the Expenses of the Authority selected hereunder, shall be paid by the Corporation.

10.5. Court-Ordered Indemnification and Advance for Expenses. (a) An Executive may, either before or within two years after a determination, if any, has been made by the Authority, petition the court before which such Action was brought or any other court of competent jurisdiction to independently determine whether or not he or she has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty and is, therefore, entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Article X. Such court shall thereupon have the exclusive authority to make such determination unless and until such court dismisses or otherwise terminates such proceeding without having made such determination. An Executive may petition a court under this Section 10.4 either to seek an initial determination by the court as authorized by Section 10.3(d) or to seek review by the court of a previous adverse determination by the Authority.

(b) The court shall make its independent determination irrespective of any prior determination made by the Authority; provided, however, that there shall exist a rebuttable presumption that the Executive has not engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty and is therefore entitled to indemnification hereunder. The burden of rebutting such presumption by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation.

(c) In the event the court determines that an Executive has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Beach of Duty, it may nonetheless order indemnification to be paid by the Corporation if it determines that the Executive is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the circumstances of such Action.

(d) In the event the Corporation does not (i) advance Expenses to the Executive within ten (10) days of such Executive's compliance with
Section 10.2; or (ii) indemnify an Executive with respect to requested Expenses under Section 10.1(b) within ten (10) days of such Executive's written request therefor, the Executive may petition the court before which such Action was brought, if any, or any other court of competent jurisdiction to order the Corporation to pay such reasonable Expenses immediately. Such court, after


21

giving any notice it considers necessary, shall order the Corporation to pay such Expenses if it determines that the Executive has complied with the applicable provisions of Section 10.2 or 10.1(b), as the case may be.

(e) If the court determines pursuant to this Section 10.4 that the Executive is entitled to be indemnified for any Liabilities and/or Expenses, or to the advance of Expenses, unless otherwise ordered by such court, the Corporation shall pay such Liabilities and/or Expenses to the Executive (net of all Expenses, if any, previously advanced to the Executive pursuant to Section 10.2), including interest thereon as provided in Section 10.6(c) or to such other person or entity as the Executive may designate in writing to the Corporation, within ten (10) days of the rendering of such determination.

(f) An Executive shall pay all Expenses incurred by such Executive in connection with the judicial determination provided in this Section 10.4, unless it shall ultimately be determined by the court that he or she is entitled, in whole or in part, to be indemnified by, or to receive an advance from, the Corporation as authorized by this Article X. All Expenses incurred by an Executive in connection with any subsequent appeal of the judicial determination provided for in this Section 10.4 shall be paid by the Executive regardless of the disposition of such appeal.

10.6. Termination of an Action Is Nonconclusive. The adverse termination of any Action against an Executive by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of no contest or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Executive has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty.

10.7. Partial Indemnification; Reasonableness; Interest. (a) If it is determined by the Authority, or by a court, that an Executive is entitled to indemnification as to some claims, issues or matters, but not as to other claims, issues or matters, involved in any Action, the Authority, or the court, shall authorize the proration and payment by the Corporation of such Liabilities and/or reasonable Expenses with respect to which indemnification is sought by the Executive, among such claims, issues or matters as the Authority, or the court, shall deem appropriate in light of all of the circumstances of such Action.

(b) If it is determined by the Authority, or by a court, that certain Expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Executive are for whatever reason unreasonable in amount, the Authority, or the court, shall nonetheless authorize indemnification to be paid by the Corporation to the Executive for such Expenses as the Authority, or the court, shall deem reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Action.

(c) Interest shall be paid by the Corporation to an Executive, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Authority, or by a court, at a reasonable interest rate, for amounts for which the Corporation indemnifies or advances to the Executive.

10.8. Insurance; Subrogation. (a) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Executive of the Corporation, and/or is or was serving as an Executive of an Affiliate, against Liabilities and/or Expenses asserted against him or her and/or incurred by or on behalf of him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such an Executive, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to


22

indemnify him or her against such Liabilities and/or Expenses under this Article X or under the Statute as it may then be in effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the purchase and maintenance of such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Corporation and/or any Executive under this Article X. Such insurance may, but need not, be for the benefit of all Executives of the Corporation and those serving as an Executive of an Affiliate.

(b) If an Executive shall receive payment from any insurance carrier or from the plaintiff in any Action against such Executive in respect of indemnified amounts after payments on account of all or part of such indemnified amounts have been made by the Corporation pursuant to this Article X, such Executive shall promptly reimburse the Corporation for the amount, if any, by which the sum of such payment by such insurance carrier or such plaintiff and payments by the Corporation to such Executive exceeds such indemnified amounts; provided, however, that such portions, if any, of such insurance proceeds that are required to be reimbursed to the insurance carrier under the terms of its insurance policy, such as deductible, retention or coinsurance-insurance amounts, shall not be deemed to be payments to such Executive hereunder.

(c) Upon payment of indemnified amounts under this Article X, the Corporation shall be subrogated to such Executive's rights against any insurance carrier in respect of such indemnified amounts and the Executive shall execute and deliver any and all instruments and/or documents and perform any and all other acts or deeds which the Corporation shall deem necessary or advisable to secure such rights. The Executive shall do nothing to prejudice such rights of recovery or subrogation.

10.9. Witness Expenses. The Corporation shall advance or reimburse any and all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Executive in connection with his or her appearance as a witness in any Action at a time when he or she has not been formally named a defendant or respondent to such an Action, within ten (10) days after the receipt of an Executive's written request therefor.

10.10. Contribution. (a) Subject to the limitations of this Section 10.9, if the indemnity provided for in Section 10.1 is unavailable to an Executive for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying the Executive, shall contribute to the amount incurred by or on behalf of the Executive, whether for Liabilities and/or for reasonable Expenses in connection with any Action in such proportion as deemed fair and reasonable by the Authority, or by a court, in light of all of the circumstances of any such Action, in order to reflect:

(i) the relative benefits received by the Corporation and the Executive as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Action; and/or

(ii) the relative fault of the Corporation (and its other Executives, employees and/or agents) and the Executive in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

(b) The relative fault of the Corporation (and its other Executives, employees and/or agents) on the one hand, and of the Executive, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to


23

correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Liabilities and/or Expenses. The Corporation agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10.9 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take into account the foregoing equitable considerations.

(c) An Executive shall not be entitled to contribution from the Corporation under this Section 10.9 in the event it is determined by the Authority, or by a court, that the Executive has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty.

(d) The Corporation's payment of, and an Executive's right to, contribution under this Section 10.9 shall be made and determined in accordance with and pursuant to the provisions in Sections 10.3 and/or 10.4 relating to the Corporation's payment of, and the Executive's right to, indemnification under this Article X.

10.11. Indemnification of Employees. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Article X, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who is or was a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any Action by reason of his or her status as, or the fact that he or she is or was an employee or authorized agent or representative of the Corporation and/or an Affiliate as to acts performed in the course and within the scope of such employee's, agent's or representative's duties to the Corporation and/or an Affiliate, in accordance with and to the fullest extent permitted by the Statute as it may then be in effect.

10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Article X shall be deemed invalid or inoperative, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of this Article X contravenes public policy, this Article X shall be construed so that the remaining provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such provisions which are invalid or inoperative or which contravene public policy shall be deemed, without further Action or deed by or on behalf of the Corporation, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, and the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless an Executive as to Liabilities and reasonable Expenses with respect to any Action to the full extent permitted by any applicable provision of this Article X that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent otherwise permitted by the Statute as it may then be in effect.

10.13. Nonexclusivity of Article X. The right to indemnification, contribution and advancement of Expenses provided to an Executive by this Article X shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification, contribution and/or advancement of Expenses which any Executive or other employee or agent of the Corporation and/or of an Affiliate may be entitled under any charter provision, written agreement, resolution, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of the Corporation or otherwise, including, without limitation, under the Statute as it may then be in effect, both as to acts in his or her official capacity as such Executive or other employee or agent of the Corporation and/or of an Affiliate or as to acts in any other capacity while holding such office or position, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify, contribute and/or advance Expenses to the Executive under this Article X or under the Statute: provided that it is not determined that the Executive or other employee or agent has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty.

10.14. Notice to the Corporation; Defense of Actions. (a) An Executive


24

shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing upon being served with or having actual knowledge of any citation, summons, complaint, indictment or any other similar document relating to any Action which may result in a claim of indemnification, contribution or advancement of Expenses hereunder, but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation from any liability which it may have to the Executive otherwise than under this Agreement unless the Corporation shall have been irreparably prejudiced by such omission.

(b) With respect to any such Action as to which an Executive notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

(i) The Corporation shall be entitled to participate therein at its own expense; and

(ii) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Corporation ( or any other indemnifying party, including any insurance carrier, similarly notified by the Corporation or the Executive) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Corporation (or such other indemnifying party) and reasonably satisfactory to the Executive.

(c) After notice from the Corporation (or such other indemnifying party) to the Executive of its election to assume the defense of an Action, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Executive under this Article X for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Executive in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. The Executive shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in such Action but the Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation (or such other indemnifying party) of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Executive unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Executive has been authorized by the Corporation;
(ii) the Executive shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation (or such other indemnifying party) and the Executive in the conduct of the defense of such Action; or (iii) the Corporation (or such other indemnifying party) shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Action, in each of which cases the Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Derivative Action or any Action as to which the Executive shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

10.15. Continuity of Rights and Obligations. The terms and provisions of this Article X shall continue as to an Executive subsequent to his or her Termination Date and such terms and provisions shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, estate, executors and administrators of such Executive and the successors and assigns of the Corporation, including, without limitation any successor to the Corporation by way of merger, consolidation and/or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Corporation. Except as provided herein, all rights and obligations of the Corporation and the Executive hereunder shall continue in full force and effect despite the subsequent amendment or modification of the Corporation's Certificate of InCorporation, as it is in effect on the date hereof, and such rights and obligations shall not be affected by any such amendment or modification, any resolution of directors or stockholders of the Corporation, or by any other corporate action which conflicts with or purports to amend, modify, limit or eliminate any of the rights or obligations of the Corporation and/or of the Executive hereunder.


25

10.16. Amendment. (a) This Article X may only be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stockholders of the Corporation so entitled to vote; provided, however, that the Board may alter or amend this Article X without such stockholder approval if any such alteration or amendment:

(i) is made in order to conform to any amendment or revision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, including, without limitation, the Statute, which (A) expands or permits the expansion of an Executive's right to indemnification thereunder ; (B) limits or eliminates, or permits the limitation or elimination, of the liability of the Executives; or (C) is otherwise beneficial to the Executives; or

Section 4.10. Purchase of Notes Following Asset Sales.

If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) elects to make an Asset Sale on such terms as it may determine in its sole discretion and (ii) further elects to offer to purchase the Notes with any or all of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale (the "Net Proceeds Offer"), the Company shall offer to purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale that the Company elects to apply to the purchase of Notes (the "Purchase Amount"), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date.

The Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days and no longer, unless a longer period is required by law (the "Net Proceeds Offer Period"). Promptly after the termination of the Net Proceeds Offer Period (the "Net Proceeds Payment Date"), the Company shall purchase and mail or deliver payment for the Purchase Amount for the Notes or portions thereof tendered, pro rata or by such other method as may be required by law, or, if less than the Purchase Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer. The principal amount of Notes to be purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer may be reduced by the principal amount of Notes acquired by the Company through purchase or redemption
(other than pursuant to a Change of Control Offer)
subsequent to the date of an Asset Sale and surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

The Net Proceeds Offer shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including (without limitation), Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws.

The Company shall commence the Net Proceeds Offer by mailing to the Trustee and each Holder, at such Holder's last registered address, a notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, and shall state:

(1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10, the principal amount of Notes which shall be accepted for payment and that all Notes validly tendered shall be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis;

(2) the purchase price and the date of purchase;

(3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price with respect to any Notes tendered, Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Company prior to the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Net Proceeds Payment Date;


4

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Net Proceeds Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

(7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued Notes representing the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in principal amount of $1,000 or whole multiples thereof; and

(8) the instructions that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes.

On or before the Net Proceeds Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment on a pro rata basis the Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Notes so accepted, together with an Officer's Certificate stating that the Notes or portions thereof tendered to the Company are accepted for payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price of such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

The Company shall make a public announcement of the results of the Net Proceeds Offer as soon as practicable after the Net Proceeds Payment Date. For the purposes of this Section 4.10, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

(c) Section 4.12 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset (real, personal, tangible or intangible) now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except (i) Liens on Accounts and Inventory and the proceeds thereof (and contract rights and general intangibles relating thereto and any other Mutual Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)), (ii) Purchase Money Liens and (iii) Permitted Liens.

(b) Anything in the Security Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company and its Subsidiaries may grant Liens in accordance with this Section 4.12; provided, that no such Lien shall affect the attachment, perfection or priority of the Lien of the Security Documents. Subject to the foregoing, upon receipt of a written notice from the Company or a pledging Subsidiary or another


5

secured party stating that Collateral is subject to a security interest under a security agreement executed by the pledgor which contains a description of the security, the Trustee shall execute appropriate instruments acknowledging that such Collateral is subject to such other security interest.

(d) Section 4.17 is hereby amended by deleting the following clause which begins at the end of the twenty-first line thereof and ends on the twenty-fourth line thereof: "and such Person shall be permitted by virtue of its Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to incur, immediately after giving effect to such acquisition, at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.9(a) of this Indenture."

(e) Section 5.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by (i) adding the word "and" after Section 5.1(ii), (ii) replacing the comma and the word "and" at the end of Section 5.1(iii) with a period, (iii) deleting Section 5.1(iv) in its entirety and (iv) inserting a new paragraph immediately following Section 5.1(iii) which shall read as follows:

Nothing in this Section 5.1 shall be construed to prohibit a consolidation or merger between the Company, any Guarantor and/or any Restricted Subsidiary or among Restricted Subsidiaries or Guarantors, nor prohibit the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposal by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to any Restricted Subsidiary or to the Company.

(f) Section 6.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by (i) changing the reference to "Excess Proceeds Offer" in Section 6.1(2) to "Net Proceeds Offer,"
(ii) amending Section 6.1(3) in its entirety to read as follows: "(3) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any of the provisions of Sections 4.10, 4.12 or 4.14 hereof" and (iii) deleting Sections 6.1(4), 6.1(6) and 6.1(7) in their entirety.

(g) Section 8.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by (i) deleting the words "(as certified by a nationally recognized accounting firm designated by the Company)" on the sixth and seventh lines of Section 8.1(1) and inserting therefor the words "(as certified by an Officers' Certificate delivered by the Company)", (ii) inserting the word "and" after Section 8.1(1), (iii) deleting Sections 8.1(2) and 8.1(3) and (iv) deleting the first sentence of the paragraph immediately following 8.1(4) which begins with the words "Then, this Indenture" and replacing it with a new sentence which shall read as follows:

Then, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as provided in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging confirmation of and discharge under this Indenture in the case of clause (A) above, and the Company's ability not to comply with restrictive covenants and related Events of Default in the case of clause (B) above, and, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, the release of the Liens created under the Security Documents.

Certain of the Subsidiary Borrowers intend to refinance (together with the refinancing referred to in clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the "Refinancing") certain of their existing indebtedness. In addition, following the Closing Date, Terex intends to acquire (the "Acquisition") all the outstanding capital shares of O&K Mining from O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG and to issue the Senior Subordinated Notes.

The Borrowers have requested the Issuing Banks to issue letters of credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $35,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in Alternative Currencies), to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Term Loans, together with a portion of the Revolving Loans, are to be used solely (a) on the Closing Date, (i) to effect the Refinancing, (ii) to finance the Debt Tender Offer, (iii) to pay related fees and expenses and (iv) for working capital purposes and (b) on the date on which the Acquisition is

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of any Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the applicable currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.


32

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan that would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Tranche A Maturity Date or the Tranche B Maturity Date, as the case may be.

(f) If any Issuing Bank shall not have received from any Borrower the payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. In the case of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount in dollars equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. In the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Marks, Pounds or Francs, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., local time of the jurisdiction of such Alternative Currency, on such date (or if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), local time of such jurisdiction, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount in such Alternative Currency equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an Alternative Currency Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. In the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency except for Marks, Pounds or Francs, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Disbursement and of such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage thereof, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York city time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount in dollars equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such


33

amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of any Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight funds in the applicable currency, and for each day thereafter, (x) if such L/C Disbursement is denominated in dollars, the Alternate Base Rate, and (y) if such L/C Disbursement is denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Foreign Base Rate.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, an A/C Fronted Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (or telephone the Administrative Agent, promptly confirmed with a written and duly completed Borrowing Request) (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than an Alternative Currency Borrowing), not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), local time of the jurisdiction of such Alternative Currency, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request (including a telephonic Borrowing Request) shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of such Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Dollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing; (ii) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Tranche A Term Borrowing, Tranche B Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing; (iii) if such Borrowing is to be denominated in dollars, whether it is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (iv) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (v) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (vi) the amount of such Borrowing (which shall be specified in dollars, even if such Borrowing is to be made in an Alternative Currency); (vii) subject to the limitations of Section 2.01, the currency of such Borrowing; and (viii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the currency of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in the only currency permitted to be borrowed by such Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.01. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing if denominated in dollars or a Eurocurrency Borrowing if denominated in an Alternative Currency. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing and the account to which Loans made in connection with the requested Borrowing are to be wired.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender or each other Lender entitled thereto (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan, on the last day of the


34

Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, if earlier, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (ii) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 and (iii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and A/C Fronted Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender's share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
(b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to
Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) Terex agrees to pay to each Lender in dollars, through the Administrative Agent, on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Tranche A Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a facility fee (a "Facility Fee") equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum in effect from time to time on the total amount of the Tranche A Commitments and, without duplication, Tranche A Term Loans and the total amount (whether used or unused) of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender (but not the Tranche B Commitments, the A/C Fronting Commitments or the Swingline Commitments) during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or Tranche A Maturity Date, as applicable, or the date on which the Tranche A Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated); provided, however, that if any Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding following any such expiration or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Facility Fees with respect to such Revolving Credit Exposure shall continue to accrue for so long as such Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding and shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The


35

Facility Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Tranche A Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment, as the case may be, of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein and there is not any remaining Revolving Credit Exposure.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in dollars, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the "Administrative Agent Fees").

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an "L/C Participation Fee") calculated on such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the average daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment shall expire or be terminated as set forth herein a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall expire or be terminated) (the "Issuing Bank Fees"). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall be payable in dollars.

(d) Except as provided in Section 2.24(e), each A/C Fronting Lender agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each A/C Fronted Loan made by such A/C Fronting Lender, a fee (an "A/C Participation Fee") equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Applicable Percentage received by such A/C Fronting Lender from or on behalf of the applicable Borrower on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such A/C Fronted Loan. All A/C Participation Fees shall be payable (i) in the currency in which they were received by the A/C Fronting Lender and (ii) only to the extent received by the A/C Fronting Lender.

(e) Each of the Australian Borrower and the Italian Borrower severally agrees to pay to the Australian Fronting Lender and the Italian Fronting Lender, respectively, on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which the A/C Fronting Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as set forth herein a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of A/C Fronted Loans of such Lender outstanding during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the A/C Fronting Commitment shall expire or be terminated) (the "A/C Fronting Fees"). All A/C Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall be payable in Australian Dollars or Lire, as the case may be.


36

(f) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for such Loans in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, each Foreign Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Foreign Base Rate Loans denominated in Pounds, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the rate set forth in the definition of the term "Foreign Base Rate Loans" and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for ABR Revolving Loans in effect from time to time.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Pounds, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for such Loans in effect from time to time.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and
(ii) in the currency in which such Loan is denominated. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If any Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2%, (b) in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to L/C Disbursements owing in dollars, the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans plus 2% and (c) in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to L/C Disbursements owing in Alternative Currencies, the rate applicable to Foreign Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans for the Applicable Alternative Currency plus 2%, (d) in the case of any interest payable on any Loan or reimbursement obligation with respect to any L/C Disbursement or any Facility Fee or other amount payable hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to ABR Loans (or, in the case of interest, fees or amounts owing on account of obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies, Foreign Base Rate Loans) that are Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, plus 2% (or, in the case of fees, reimbursements or any such


37

other amounts that do not relate to Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Exposure, the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.00%).

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that (a) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market, or (b) the rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loan during such Interest Period, or (c) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice explaining such determination to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised such Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by such Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error and any request by such Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any Alternative Currency pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for a Foreign Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Tranche B Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. The Tranche A Commitments shall automatically be reduced on the date of each borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans by an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Tranche A Term Loans so borrowed, and any remaining unused Tranche A Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Tranche A Term Loan Availability Period; provided, however, that upon not less than five Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice from Terex, Terex may elect to convert the unused Tranche A Commitments to Revolving Credit Commitments on or prior to the last day of the Tranche A Term Loan Availability Period. The Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Commitments, the A/C Fronting Commitments and the L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 30, 1998, if the initial Credit Event shall not have occurred by such time.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, Terex may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Tranche A Commitments, the Tranche B Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of either of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time.

(c) Each reduction in either of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. Terex shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date


38

of each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of any Tranche A Commitments or Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. Each Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time (or local time in the jurisdiction of the applicable Alternative Currency, in the case of a continuation of the Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Alternative Currency), three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars or to continue any Eurocurrency Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the same currency for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time (or local time in the jurisdiction of the applicable Alternative Currency), three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurocurrency Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by such Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurocurrency Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing (other than an Alternative Currency Borrowing) maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

(vi) any portion of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, and any portion of an Alternative Currency Borrowing required to be repaid in less than one month may be converted, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an Interest Period ending on the


39

date that such Borrowing is required to be repaid;

(vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurocurrency Borrowing that is a Tranche A Term Borrowing or a Tranche B Term Borrowing that would end later than a Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date or Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date, respectively, occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurocurrency Term Borrowings that are Tranche A Term Borrowings or Tranche B Term Borrowings, as applicable, with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date or Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date or Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date; and

(viii) upon notice to any Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (A) no outstanding Dollar Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (C) no Interest Period in excess of one month may be selected for any Alternative Currency Borrowing.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the applicable Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender's portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If such Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), (i) in the case of a Dollar Borrowing, automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing, automatically be continued into a new Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions herein, the currency of an outstanding Borrowing may not be changed in connection with any conversion or continuation of such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a) (i) Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each such date being a "Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date"), a principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13(g)) equal to the percentage set


40

forth below opposite such date multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche A Term Loans made to such Borrower hereunder and outstanding on the last Tranche A Term Loan Closing Date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment:

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche A Maturity Date and Tranche B Matu rity Date, respectively, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(c) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to
Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, given before 12:00 (noon), New York City time (or, in the case of prepayment of an Alternative Currency Borrowing, local time of the jurisdiction of such Alternative Currency) three Business Days before such prepayment and (ii) in the case of a prepayment of ABR Loans or Foreign Base Rate Loans, given before 1:00 p.m. local time, one Business Day before such prepayment; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,00 (or the Alternative


42

Currency Equivalent thereof) and not less than $2,500,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof).

(b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be allocated against the then-outstanding Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans pro rata, and such prepayments shall be applied (i) first, against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively, in the next twelve months in the order of maturity and (ii) second, pro rata against such remaining scheduled installments of principal.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the applicable Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this
Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, each Borrower shall repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings, all outstanding Swingline Loans and all outstanding A/C Fronted Loans on the date of such termination. In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, then at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto. If at any time, as a result of such a partial reduction or termination, as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure in any Alternative Currency would exceed the sublimit for such Alternative Currency set forth on Schedule 2.01(b), then the Borrowers shall (i) on the date of such reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments or (ii) within three Business Day following notice from the Administrative Agent of any such fluctuation in exchange rate or otherwise, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings, Swingline Loans or A/C Fronted Loans (or a combination thereof) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale (other than (i) any Asset Sale the Net Cash Proceeds of which are not greater than $250,000 from any single event or series of related events and (ii) Asset Sales the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of which are not greater than $5,000,000 in any fiscal year of Terex), the outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, then substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such Equity Issuance, outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, that no such prepayment shall be required if
(i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements shall have been delivered pursuant to
Section 5.04(a) or (b), as applicable, shall be less than 3.00 to 1.00, (ii) Terex shall have received at least $150,000,000 in gross cash proceeds from


43

the issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes and shall have used the Net Cash Proceeds thereof either to prepay Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(e) or to finance the Acquisition or another Permitted Acquisition or (iii) (A) Terex shall have received at least $100,000,000 in gross cash proceeds from the issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes and shall have used the Net Cash Proceeds thereof to prepay Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(e) and (B) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to
Section 5.04(a) or (b), as applicable, shall be less than 2.75 to 1.00.

(d) No later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Terex, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 1998, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended; provided, however, that no such prepayment shall be required if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year shall be less than 3.85 to 1.00.

(e) In the event that Terex or any Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from (i) the issuance of any Senior Subordinated Notes or Additional Subordinated Notes or (ii) the issuance or incurrence of any other Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), then, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used either (i) to fund the consideration for the Acquisition or, in the case of the Senior Subordinated Notes or Additional Subordinated Notes, another Permitted Acquisition, and/or (ii) to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(f) In the event that there shall occur any Casualty or Condemnation and, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage, the Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, are required to be used to prepay the Term Loans, then the outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be.

(g) Subject to paragraph (j) below, each prepayment of outstanding Term Loans required to be made pursuant to any paragraph of this Section 2.13 shall be made by all Borrowers of their respective Term Loans pro rata among the then-outstanding Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans, and, subject to paragraph (j) below, shall be applied (i) first against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively, in the next twelve months in the order of maturity and (ii) second, pro rata against such remaining scheduled installments of principal.

(h) Terex shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of Terex setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days' prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid.


44

All pre payments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to
Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(i) To the extent possible consistent with Section 2.13(g), amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.13 to the prepayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to prepay outstanding ABR Term Loans and ABR Revolving Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower, be applied to prepay Eurocurrency Term Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, as the case may be, immediately and/or shall be deposited in the Pre payment Account (as defined below). The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Prepayment Account (i) allocable to Term Loans to prepay Eurocurrency Term Loans and (ii) allocable to Revolving Loans to prepay Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, in each case on the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of such Borrower, on any earlier date) until all outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit with respect to such Loans has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Prepayment Account" shall mean an account established by such Borrower with the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this paragraph
(i). The Administrative Agent will, at the request of such Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in Permitted Investments that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Periods of the Eurocurrency Term Borrowings or Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings to be prepaid, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Administrative Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments so that the amount available to prepay Eurocurrency Borrowings on the last day of the applicable Interest Period is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the account of the applicable Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans in accordance with this Section 2.13), the Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in its Prepay ment Account to secure the Obligations. This paragraph
(i) shall not be construed to alter the application required by Section 2.13(g).

(j) Any Tranche B Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing (or by telephone or telecopy promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 12:00 (noon), New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to any prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans required to be made by any Borrower for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13, to cause all or a portion of such prepayment to be applied instead to prepay Tranche A Term Loans in accordance with paragraph (g) above. Any such prepayment of Tranche A Term Loans shall be made by all Borrowers of their respective Tranche A Term Loans


45

pro rata among the then outstanding Tranche A Term Loans and in the order set forth in Section 2.13(g).

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of the principal of or interest on any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or such Issuing Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or such Issuing Bank has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Bank Bill Rate or the Italian Fixed Rate, as the case may be) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market (or other relevant interbank market) any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline (whether such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has been adopted) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Issuing Bank or any Lender's or any Issuing Bank's holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such


46

additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurocurrency Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans and Foreign Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurocurrency Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing or a Foreign Base Rate Loan to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or to continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Foreign Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans) (or a request to continue an ABR Loan or a Foreign Base Rate Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan or a Foreign Base Rate Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Foreign Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans) in which event all such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to such ABR Loans or Foreign Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurocurrency Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay


47

ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurocurrency Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to Terex by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Terex.

SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense, including any break-funding cost or any loss sustained in converting between any Alternative Currency and dollars, as the case may be, that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan to an ABR Loan, or Fronted Base Rate Loan, respectively, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the applicable Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a "Breakage Event") or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurocurrency Loan or A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, together with a reasonably detailed calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided below in this
Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans and as required under Sections 2.13(j) and 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next


48

higher or lower whole dollar or applicable Alternative Currency amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and A/C Fronted Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and A/C Fronted Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and A/C Fronted Exposure, as the case may be of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and A/C Fronted Exposure and participations in Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and A/C Fronted Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and A/C Fronted Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and A/C Fronted Exposure prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and A/C Fronted Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Term Loan or Revolving Loan or L/C Disbursement and A/C Fronted Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document from a Payment Location in the United States or the jurisdiction of any Alternative Currency prior to (i) 1:00 p.m., New York City time on the date when due, in the case of any amount payable in dollars, and (ii) 12:00 (noon), local time of such other jurisdiction, on the date when due, in the case of any amount payable in any Alternative Currency, in each case, in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to applicable Issuing Bank, (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22 (e) and (iii) A/C Fronting


49

Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable A/C Fronting Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.24(e)) shall be made to such account as shall from time to time be specified in a writing delivered to Terex and each Borrower by the Administrative Agent. Except as provided in Section 2.24 (Conversion of A/C Fronted Loans) with respect to defaulted A/C Fronted Loans, all Alternative Currency Loans hereunder shall be denominated and made, and all payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall be made, in such Alternative Currency. All Dollar Loans hereunder shall be denominated and made, and all payments of principal and interest, Fees or otherwise hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect thereof shall be made, in dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Borrower and each Lender to receive any such payment, all other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be payable in dollars.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Loan Party (or, with respect to payments by an A/C Fronting Lender of the A/C Participation Fee, an A/C Fronting Lender) hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.19, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any Governmental Authority in the United States, the jurisdiction of any Alternative Currency or the jurisdiction of any Payment Location, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity a "Transferee")) and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent, such Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee) is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, being called "Taxes"). If any Borrower or any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or any Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If any A/C Fronting Lender shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any A/C Participation Fee, Terex or the applicable Borrower shall pay to the applicable Revolving Credit Lender the "additional amount" referred to in the preceding sentence.


50

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, documentary, excise, transfer, sales, property or similar taxes, charges or levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes and similar fees) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document imposed by any Governmental Authority in the United States, the jurisdiction of any Alternative Currency or the jurisdiction of any Payment Location ("Other Taxes").

(c) Each Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower or any other Loan Party to the relevant Governmental Authority, such Borrower or such other Loan Party will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender") that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments by such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Non-U.S. Lender has received written notice from such Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such documentation promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20(e), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) No Borrower shall be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed and would apply to payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this


51

Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this paragraph (f) shall not apply (x) to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of any Borrower and (y) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this paragraph (f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall require any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or an Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) such Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or Issuing Bank in immediately available funds (and in the currency or currencies in which payment would be required if all amounts were to be paid by such Borrower) an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under
Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or it such


52

Lender or such Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under
Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.

(b) If (i) any Lender or an Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or an Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or an Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by such Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would materially reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. Terex hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans, in dollars, to Terex at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding $10,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000. The Swingline Commitments may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, Terex may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

(b) Swingline Loans. Terex shall notify the Swingline Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, by telecopy, or by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan.

(c) Prepayment. Terex shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 1:00
p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender's address for notices specified on Schedule 2.01. All principal payments of


53

Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.

(d) Interest. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a).

(e) Participations. If Terex does not fully repay a Swingline Loan on or prior to the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, the Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by 2:00 p.m., New York City time (by telecopy or by telephone, confirmed in writing), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof (by telecopy or by telephone, confirmed in writing) and of its Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Upon such notice but without any further action, the Swingline Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Swingline Lender, a participation in such defaulted Swingline Loan equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such defaulted Swingline Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each Swingline Loan that is not repaid on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify Terex of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from Terex (or other party on behalf of Terex) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve Terex (or other party liable for obligations of Terex) of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall, upon the initial funding of Loans on the Closing Date and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any other person, be deemed for all purposes to have been issued by the applicable Issuing Bank on the Closing Date as a Letter of Credit hereunder and (ii) any Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in


54

effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon an Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, or such shorter period as the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount and currency (which must be dollars or an Alternative Currency) of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $35,000,000, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (C) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to any Alternative Currency shall not exceed the sublimit for such Alternative Currency set forth in Schedule 2.01(b).

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, deemed issuance) and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f) and in the same currency as such L/C Disbursement. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the fact that, as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure at any time might exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment at such time (in which case Section 2.13(a) would apply), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.


55

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in dollars, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than two hours after such Borrower shall have received notice from the applicable Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if such Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than two hours after such Borrower shall have received notice from the applicable Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if such Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., London time, on any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m., London time, on the immediately following Business Day.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower's obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, such Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of an Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower's obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of each Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the


56

gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by an Issuing Bank's gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that an Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) an Issuing Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence of an Issuing Bank.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telecopy, to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by such Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were (i) in the case of a Dollar Loan, an ABR Revolving Loan and (ii) in the case of an Alternative Currency, a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan with an Interest Period of one month's duration.

(i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 180 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Terex, and may be removed at any time by Terex by notice to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees


57

pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement,
(i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (ii) to the extent and so long as the L/C Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall, on the Business Day after Terex receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash in the currency determined by the Collateral Agent equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph (j), such amount shall be returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent that the amount of such cash collateral held by the Collateral Agent exceeds the excess, if any, of the L/C Exposure over the Total Revolving Credit Commitment so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(i) the Australian Fronting Lender agrees to make loans to the Australian Borrower in Australian Dollars and (ii) the Italian Fronting Lender agrees to make loans to the Italian Borrower in Lire, in each case, at any time and from


58

time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the A/C Fronting Commitment of such A/C Fronting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in
(i) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of such A/C Fronting Lender's A/C Fronting Loans exceeding its A/C Fronting Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any A/C Fronted Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; provided however that the Italian Borrower shall not be entitled to make any Borrowings hereunder until all amounts under the Italian Facilities shall have been paid in full and the commitments thereunder terminated. Each A/C Fronted Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Alternative Currency Equivalent of $100,000 and not less than $2,500,000. The A/C Fronting Commitments may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the applicable Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow A/C Fronted Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

(b) A/C Fronted Loans. The Australian Borrower or the Italian Borrower, as applicable, shall notify the applicable A/C Fronting Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, by telecopy, or by telephone (confirmed by telecopy)
(i) in the case of the Australian Borrower, not later than 10:00 a.m., Sydney time, on the day of a proposed A/C Fronted Loan or (ii) in the case of the Italian Borrower, not later than 10:00 a.m., Boston time, three Business Days before the date of a proposed A/C Fronted Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement, shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such A/C Fronted Loan (which shall be expressed in dollars), shall specify whether such A/C Fronted Loan is to be an A/C Fronted Base Rate Loan or an AC/ Fronted Fixed Rate Loan and, if such Loan is to be an A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan, the Interest Period therefor (which shall comply with the definition of the term "Bank Bill Rate" or "Italian Fixed Rate", as applicable. If no Rate is selected with respect to any A/C Fronted Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an A/C Fronted Base Rate Loan.

(c) Prepayment. The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time from time to time to prepay any A/C Fronted Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the applicable A/C Fronting Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), local time on the date of prepayment at the applicable A/C Fronting Lender's address for notices specified on Schedule 2.01(a). All principal payments of A/C Fronted Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment. All prepayments of A/C Fronted Loans shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty.

(d) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, each A/C Fronted Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the A/C Fronted Base Rate with respect to such A/C Fronted Loan plus the Applicable Percentage with respect to such Loan. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, each A/C Fronted Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the A/C Fronted Fixed Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Percentage with respect to such Loan. Interest on each A/C Fronted Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto. Each A/C Fronting Lender shall notify the applicable Borrower and the


59

Administrative Agent of the A/C Fronting Base Rate or the A/C Fronted Fixed Rate applicable to such A/C Fronting Lender's A/C Fronted Loans promptly following each determination thereof.

(e) Participations. If the applicable Borrower shall default in the payment of principal of or interest on any A/C Fronted Loan when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or by acceleration or otherwise, then the applicable A/C Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the applicable A/C Fronting Lender to the applicable Borrower, the principal amount of all A/C Fronted Loans to such Borrower, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be converted to Dollar Loans and obligations to pay interest in dollars, respectively, at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of such default, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such default (by telecopy or by telephone, confirmed in writing) and of its Pro Rata Percentage in dollars of such A/C Fronted Loan. Upon such notice but without any further action, the applicable A/C Fronting Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the applicable A/C Fronting Lender, a participation in such defaulted A/C Fronted Loan equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage in dollars of the aggregate principal amount of such defaulted A/C Fronting Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable A/C Fronting Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each such defaulted A/C Fronted Loan. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in A/C Fronted Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable A/C Fronting Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any A/C Fronted Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such A/C Fronted Loan shall be made in dollars and to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable A/C Fronting Lender. Any amounts received by an A/C Fronting Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of an A/C Fronted Loan after receipt by such A/C Fronting Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the applicable A/C Fronting Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in an A/C Fronted Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of such Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.

(f) Termination and Reduction of A/C Fronting Commitments. Upon written or telecopy notice to the applicable A/C Fronting Lender and to the Administrative Agent, Terex may at any time permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the A/C Fronting Commitment of any A/C Fronting Lender; provided, however, that the A/C Fronting Commitment of such


60

A/C Fronting Lender shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the A/C Fronting Loans of such A/C Fronting Lender at such time.

SECTION 2.25. Reporting Requirements of A/C Fronting Lenders and Issuing Banks. (a) Within two Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, each A/C Fronting Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a statement showing the average daily principal amount of the A/C Fronted Loans outstanding in each currency during the calendar quarter most recently ended.

(b) Within two Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, each Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report detailing all activity during the preceding month with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including the face amount, the account party, the beneficiary and the expiration date of such Letters of Credit and any other information with respect thereto as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.26. Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement solely for the purpose of issuing Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies other than Marks, Pounds, Francs, Australian Dollars and Lire. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall be deemed to be an "Issuing Bank" (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the Issuing Bank and such Lender.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of December 31, 1997, exceed by more than $3,200,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) did not, as of December 31, 1997, exceed by more than $2,700,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of Terex, its Affiliates or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction which would subject Terex or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to a material tax or civil penalty. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities, with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened against Terex or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


65

Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Commitments hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by any Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse each of the Issuing Banks and their directors, employees and agents, in each case, to the same extent and subject to the same limitations as provided above for the Agents.


90

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund, (x) Terex and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (y) the amount of the Commitment or Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender's Commitment or Loans, as applicable), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and (iv) prior to the end of the Term Loan Availability Period, any such assignment of Tranche A Commitments or Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made so that, after giving effect thereto, each of the assignee and the assignor, if such assignor retains any such Commitments, shall have the same percentage of the Tranche A Commitments as such person has of the Revolving Credit Commitments. For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), "Approved Fund" shall mean, with respect to any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans which is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an affiliate of such investment advisor. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned


92

by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for


93

inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) above and, if required, the written consent of Terex, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of any Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans or increasing or extending the Commitments).

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by any Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 9.17.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, each Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to such Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.


94

(i) No Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(j) In the event that Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and Thompson's BankWatch (or Insurance Watch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best's Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)), then each Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace (or to request Terex to use its reasonable efforts to replace) such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and
(ii) the applicable Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender's account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, as applicable, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of


95

Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials on any Properties, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 500 (THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS") AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver


96

of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of the Facility Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of
Section 2.17 or 9.04(i), the provisions of this Section, the definition of the term "Required Lenders", increase the total Commitments or release any Guarantor or all or any substantial part of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the allocation between Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13 without the prior written consent of (A) Lenders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans and (B) Lenders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans or (v) amend Section 2.13(j) without the prior written consent of the Lenders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any A/C Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank, such A/C Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties


97

with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforce able provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section
9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or preceeding shall be conclusive and may be


98

enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01; provided, however, that each Subsidiary Borrower hereby appoints Stuart A. Gordon, Esq., Robinson Silverman Pearce Aronsohn & Berman LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104, as its agent for service of process. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.16. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each party in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "Applicable Creditor") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.17. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders agrees to keep confidential (and to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its respective officers,


99

directors, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives as need to know such Information, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (provided such authority shall be advised of the confidential nature of the Information), (c) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (e) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty (or its affiliates) is not a competitor of Terex or any of its Subsidiaries and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.17) or (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.17 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Collateral Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" shall mean all financial statements, certificates, reports, agreements and information (including all analyses, compilations and studies prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender based on any of the foregoing) that are received from any Borrower and related to any Borrower, any shareholder of any Borrower or any employee, customer or supplier of any Borrower, other than any of the foregoing that were available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure thereto by any Borrower, and which are in the case of Information provided after the date hereof, clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. The provisions of this Section 9.17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.18. European Monetary Union. If, as a result of the implementation of European monetary union, (a) any currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by a European common currency, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such currency shall instead be payable in the European common currency and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such currency to such European common currency at the exchange rate recognized by the European Central Bank for the purpose of implementing European monetary union, or (b) any currency and a European common currency are at the same time recognized by the central bank or comparable authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation, then (i) any Loan made at such time shall be made in such European common currency and (ii) any other amount payable by any party hereto in such currency shall be payable in such currency or in such European common currency (in an amount determined as set forth in clause (a)), at the election of the obligor. Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any currency will continue to be payable only in that currency. Each Borrower agrees, at the request of the Required Lenders, at the time of or at any time following the implementation of European monetary union, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the Required Lenders shall reasonably request in order to avoid any unfair burden or disadvantage resulting from the implementation of such monetary union and to place the parties hereto in the position they would have been in had such monetary union not been implemented, the intent being that neither party will be adversely affected economically as a result of such implementation and


100

that reasonable provisions may be adopted to govern the borrowing, maintenance and repayment of Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency or a European common currency after the occurrence of the event or events described in clause
(a) or (b) of the preceding sentence.

SECTION 9.19. German Borrower. Terex may designate the German Borrower to be a Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement on or after the consummation of the Acquisition by delivering a written notice to the Administrative Agent together with (i) an accession agreement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and duly executed by Terex and the German Borrower, (ii) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) a pledge by Terex of 65% of the capital stock of the German Borrower for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the execution of such accession agreement by the Administrative Agent, the German Borrower shall become a Borrower under this Agreement with all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower.


101

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of March 6, 1998, between TEREX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Terex"), and CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, a bank organized under the laws of Switzerland, acting through its New York branch ("CSFB"), as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

Reference is made to (a) the Credit Agreement dated as of March 6, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Terex, Terex Equipment Limited, a company organized under the laws of Scotland, P.P.M. S.A., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of France, Unit Rig (Australia) Pty. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of New South Wales, and P.P.M. S.p.A., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, the Lenders (as defined in Article I thereto), the Issuing Banks (as defined in Article I thereto) and CSFB, as administrative agent and as collateral agent for the Lenders and (b) the Guarantee Agreement dated as of March 6, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement") among the subsidiaries of Terex listed on Schedule I thereto (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and the Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers, and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Borrowers is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Terex and Terex acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders to the Subsidiary Borrowers, and the issuance of the Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiary Borrowers by the Issuing Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans to the Subsidiary Borrowers and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiary Borrowers are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by Terex of a Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Subsidiary Borrowers and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiary Borrowers, Terex is willing to execute this Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Guarantee. Terex unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by any Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and
(iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Loan Parties to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) all obligations of any Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement entered into with a counterparty that was a Lender (or an Affiliate thereof) at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through
(c) being collectively called the "Obligations"). Terex further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.


2

SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Terex waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Subsidiary Borrowers of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of Terex hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Subsidiary Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

SECTION 3. Security. Terex authorizes the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties, to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guarantee and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors of other obligors.

SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Terex further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Subsidiary Borrower or any other person.

SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of Terex hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Terex hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Terex or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of Terex as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

SECTION 6. Defenses of Subsidiary Borrowers Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Terex waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Subsidiary Borrowers or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Subsidiary Borrower, other than the final payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Subsidiary Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Subsidiary Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Terex hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and finally paid in cash or otherwise satisfied pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Pursuant to applicable law, Terex waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or


3

other right or remedy of Terex against any Subsidiary Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against Terex by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, Terex hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by Terex of any sums to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of Terex against any Subsidiary Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Subsidiary Borrower now or hereafter held by Terex is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to Terex on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Subsidiary Borrower, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8. Information. Terex assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Subsidiary Borrowers' financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Terex assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise Terex of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

SECTION 10. Termination. The Guarantee made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend to any Subsidiary Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Exposure with respect to all Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary Borrower has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit to any Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall be reinstated if, at any time after the Guarantee has terminated, payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Subsidiary Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Subsidiary Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, Terex or otherwise.

SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Terex that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to Terex when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of Terex shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon Terex and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Terex, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except Terex shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void).

SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or


4

power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Terex therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Terex in any case shall entitle Terex to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between Terex and the Collateral Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).

SECTION 13. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Terex herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans to the Subsidiary Borrowers and the issuance of the Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiary Borrowers by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan to the Subsidiary Borrowers or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Subsidiary Borrowers is outstanding and unpaid or the L/C Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of all Subsidiary Borrowers does not equal zero and as long as the Commitments and the L/C Commitments have not been terminated.

(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 17. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

SECTION 18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Terex hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this


5

Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Terex or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Terex hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 19. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.

SECTION 20. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of Terex against any or all the obligations of Terex now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 20 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of March 6, 1998, among each of the subsidiaries listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary individually, a "Subsidiary Guarantor" and collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors") of TEREX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Terex"), and CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, a bank organized under the laws of Switzerland, acting through its New York branch ("CSFB"), as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

Reference is made to (a) the Credit Agreement dated as of March 6, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Terex, Terex Equipment Limited, a company organized under the laws of Scotland, P.P.M. S.A., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of France, Unit Rig (Australia) Pty. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of New South Wales, and P.P.M. Sp.A., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy, the Lenders (as defined in Article I thereto), the Issuing Banks (as defined in Article I thereto) and CSFB, as administrative agent and as collateral agent for the Lenders ) and (b) the Guarantee Agreement dated as of March 6, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Terex Guarantee Agreement") between Terex and the Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers, and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Terex and acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Subsidiary Guarantors of a Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, the Subsidiary Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment of
(i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by any Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Loan Parties to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) all obligations of any Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement entered into with a counterparty that was a Lender (or an Affiliate thereof) at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the "Obligations"). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.


2

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable state law (collectively, the "Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (a) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Terex or Affiliates of Terex to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and (b) under any Guarantee of senior unsecured indebtedness or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations which Guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this paragraph, pursuant to which the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value
(as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws)
of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of Terex of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties (including the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement).

SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrowers of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against Terex, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or, with respect to Terex, under the Terex Guarantee Agreement or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors authorizes the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties, to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guarantee and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.

SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other person.

SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim


3

or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

SECTION 6. Defenses of Borrowers Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than the final payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other guarantor (including Terex under the Terex Guarantee Agreement), or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other guarantor (including Terex under the Terex Guarantee Agreement), without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and finally paid in cash or otherwise satisfied pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against Terex or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the applicable Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any Subsidiary Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8. Information. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers' financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.


4

SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

SECTION 10. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall be reinstated if, at any time after the Guarantee has terminated, payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Subsidiary Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Terex, any Subsidiary Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise.

SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void). If all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by
Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor without the approval of any other Subsidiary Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Collateral Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Subsidiary Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the L/C Exposure does not equal zero and as long as the Commitments and the L/C Commitments have not been terminated.

(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 11.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Subsidiary Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.


6

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 19. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.

Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Collateral Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 21. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.

The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days' written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, to the extent permitted to do so (and each Grantor shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent to license all Intellectual Property referred to below to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 6.03) each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. The Subsidiary Pledgors have agreed to guarantee, among other things, all the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement. Terex has agreed to guarantee, among other things, all the obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the Terex Guarantee Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Pledgors of a Pledge Agreement in the form hereof to secure (a) the due and punctual payment by the Borrowers of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by any Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Pledgor under or pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (d) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrowers under each Hedging Agreement entered into with any counterparty that was a Lender (or an Affiliate thereof) at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (d) being referred to collectively as the "Obligations"); provided, however, that the total principal amount


2

of indebtedness or obligations secured by the Pledged Stock consisting of shares of capital stock of a corporation incorporated in New South Wales shall not exceed $4,000,000.

(f) above and the Irish Shares and the Related Rights referred to in Section 1.2 below, being collectively referred to as the "Collateral"). Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (a) any stock certificates, notes or other securities now or hereafter included in the Collateral (the "Pledged Securities") shall be accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (b) all other property comprising part of the Collateral shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Pledgor and such other instruments or documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede any prior schedules so delivered.

SECTION 1.2 Mortgage over Irish Shares. Terex as legal and beneficial owner of the shares in Terex Aerials Limited ("TAL") referred to in Schedule II hereto (the "Irish Shares") hereby mortgages and charges all its interests both legal and beneficial in the Irish Shares, including any dividends or interest paid or payable in relation to the Irish Shares and any rights, moneys or property accruing or offered at any time in relation to the Irish Shares by way of redemption, substitution, exchange, bonus or preference, under option rights or otherwise (the "Related Rights") to the collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, by way of a first mortgage or charge as a continuing security for the payment and performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, forever; subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

SECTION 2. Delivery of the Collateral. (a) Each Pledgor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent any and all Pledged Securities, and any and all


3

certificates or other instruments or documents representing the Collateral (including in the case of the mortgage over the Irish Shares referred to above a stock transfer form executed in blank by Terex in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent).

(b) Each Pledgor will cause any Indebtedness (except for any intercompany Indebtedness not evidenced by notes and subordinated by its terms to the payment of the Obligations) for borrowed money owed to the Pledgor by any person to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note that is pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 or Section 1 hereof, if any Pledged Securities (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) are uncertificated securities, the respective Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and shall promptly take all actions required to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent under applicable law (including, in any event, under Section 9-115 of the New York UCC, if applicable). Each Pledgor further agrees to take such actions as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing and to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder, and agrees to provide an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (which may be counsel employed by Terex) with respect to the creation and perfection of any such pledge of uncertificated Pledged Securities promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby represents, warrants and covenants, as to itself and the Collateral pledged by it hereunder, to and with the Collateral Agent that:

(a) the Pledged Stock and the Irish Shares represent that percentage as set forth on Schedule II of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of the capital stock of the issuer with respect thereto;

(b) except for the security interest granted hereunder, the Pledgor (i) is and will at all times continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II, (ii) holds the same free and clear of all Liens, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Collateral, other than pursuant hereto or to the Credit Agreement, and (iv) subject to Section 5 and Section 2(c), will cause any and all Collateral, whether for value paid by the Pledgor or otherwise, to be forthwith deposited with the Collateral Agent and pledged or assigned hereunder;

(c) the Pledgor (i) has the corporate power and authority to pledge the Collateral in the manner hereby done or contemplated and
(ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than the Lien created by this Agreement), however arising, of all persons whomsoever;

(d) no consent of any other person (including stockholders or creditors of any Pledgor) and no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any securities exchange was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby;

(e) by virtue of the execution and delivery by the Pledgors of this Agreement, when the Pledged Securities, certificates or other documents representing or evidencing the Collateral (together with an executed stock transfer form in the case of the Irish Shares) are delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement (or, in the case of uncertificated stock, the actions required by
Section 2(c) are taken), the Collateral Agent will obtain a valid and perfected first lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations;


4

(f) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral as set forth herein;

(g) all of the Pledged Stock and the Irish Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable;

(h) all information set forth herein relating to the Pledged Stock and the Irish Shares is accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof; and

(i) the pledge of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Agreement does not violate Regulation G, T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board or any successor thereto as of the date hereof;

and Terex covenants, as the sole shareholder of TAL, that it will not vote to amend the provisions concerning the transfer of shares (and, in particular, article 8(b)) contained in the articles of association of TAL (as amended by a written resolution of the single member of TAL dated 5th March, 1998) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 4. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the Pledgors, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent. Each Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Pledgor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

SECTION 5. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, etc. (a) Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise any such right if the result thereof could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of the Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Secured Parties under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above and to receive the cash dividends it is entitled to receive pursuant to subparagraph (iii) below.

(iii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends, interest and principal paid on the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such cash dividends, interest and principal are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws. All noncash dividends, interest and principal, and all dividends, interest and principal paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than distributions


5

referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if received by any Pledgor, shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any Pledgor to dividends, interest or principal that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest or principal. All dividends, interest or principal received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 5 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 7. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall, within five Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived, repay to each Pledgor all cash dividends, interest or principal (without interest), that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) above and which remain in such account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this
Section 5, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 5, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers, provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, such Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.

SECTION 6. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to applicable regulatory and legal requirements, the Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors hereby waive all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal any Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.


6

The Collateral Agent shall give a Pledgor 10 days' prior written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to make any sale of such Pledgor's Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to it from such Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and it may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to such Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, (a) a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (b) the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (c) such Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

SECTION 7. Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 6, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Pledgor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and


7

THIRD, to the Pledgors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 8. Reimbursement of Collateral Agent. (a) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts or agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, other charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Any amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 8 shall be payable on written demand therefor and shall bear interest at the rate specified in
Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof and without limitation to the foregoing to execute and complete in favor of the Collateral Agent or its nominees or of any purchaser any transfers or other documents which the Collateral Agent may require for perfecting its title to or for vesting the Collateral in the Collateral Agent or its nominees or in any purchaser, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent's name or in the name of such Pledgor, to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under


8

and by virtue of any Collateral, to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or dividend or other distribution payable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for the same, to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or proceeding with respect thereto, and to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and to make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

SECTION 10. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor or any other Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Securities, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the "Federal Securities Laws") with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Securities under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Securities, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sales,


9

the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 11 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

SECTION 12. Registration, etc. Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Securities (except for Pledged Securities issued by a Foreign Subsidiary) at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Securities. Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors , affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses to the Collateral Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor or the issuer of such Pledged Securities by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Pledgor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Securities under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Pledgor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 12. Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this
Section 12 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 12 may be specifically enforced.

SECTION 13. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing,
(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the payment in full of all the Obligations).

SECTION 14. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full, the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have


10

no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any person that is not a Pledgor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.08(b) of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph
(a) or (b), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor's expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 15. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Pledgor shall be given to it in care of Terex.

SECTION 16. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 17. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Pledgor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Pledgor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If all of the capital stock of a Pledgor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of Terex pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, such Pledgor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Pledgor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Pledgor without the approval of any other Pledgor and without affecting the obligations of any other Pledgor hereunder

SECTION 18. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Pledgor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the L/C Exposure does not equal zero and as long as the Commitments and the L/C Commitments have not been terminated.


11

(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 19. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract (subject to Section 17), and shall become effective as provided in Section 17.

ARTICLE I

Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Mortgagor

Mortgagor agrees, covenants, represents and/or warrants as follows:

SECTION 1.01. Title. (a) Mortgagor has good and marketable title to an indefeasible fee estate in the Owned Land and Improvements located thereon subject to no lien, charge or encumbrance other than Liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Permitted Encumbrances").

any right of way abutting the Premises. There is vehicular access to the Premises and the Improvements which is provided by either a public right-of-way abutting and contiguous with the Land or valid recorded unsubordinated easements.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule A, there are no leases (under which Mortgagor is the lessor) affecting a material portion of the Mortgaged Property. Each Lease is in full force and effect, and, except as set forth on Schedule A hereto, Mortgagor has not given nor received any uncured or unwaived notice of default with respect to any material obligation under any Lease.

There is no pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting the Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. Mortgagor is not obligated under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

(d) All easement agreements, covenant or restrictive agreements, supplemental agreements and any other instruments hereinabove referred to and mortgaged hereby (collectively, the "Agreements") are and will remain valid, subsisting and in full force and effect, unless the failure to remain valid, subsisting and in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor for its intended use ("Material Adverse Effect"), and Mortgagor is not in default thereunder and has fully performed the material terms thereof required to be performed through the date hereof, and has no knowledge of any default thereunder or failure to fully perform the terms thereof by any other party, nor of the occurrence of any event that after notice or the passage of time or both will constitute a default thereunder except such default as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgaged Property complies with all laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations and requirements pertaining to the Mortgaged Property (including any applicable environmental, zoning, building, fire, occupational health and safety, use and land use laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, approvals, building permits and certificates of occupancy (collectively, the "Legal Requirements")), except for any Legal Requirements, the failure to comply with which shall not materially and adversely affect the use of the Mortgaged


9

Property for the business conducted on, the Mortgaged Property.

(e) To the extent required, certificates of occupancy and permits are in effect for the Mortgaged Property as currently constructed.

(f) Mortgagor has good and lawful right and full power and authority to mortgage the Mortgaged Property and will forever warrant and defend its title to the Mortgaged Property, the rights of Mortgagee therein under this Mortgage and the validity and priority of the lien of this Mortgage thereon against the claims of all persons and parties except those having rights under Permitted Encumbrances to the extent of those rights.

(g) This Mortgage, when duly recorded in the appropriate public records and when financing statements are duly filed in the appropriate public records, will create a valid, perfected and enforceable lien upon and security interest in all the Mortgaged Property and there are no defenses or offsets to this Mortgage or to any of the Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 1.02. Credit Agreement; Certain Amounts. (a) This Mortgage is given pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Each and every term and provision of the Credit Agreement (excluding the governing law provisions thereof), including the rights, remedies, obligations, covenants, conditions, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties of the parties thereto, shall be considered as if a part of this Mortgage.

(b) To the extent the representations and covenants contained in this Mortgage are more stringent or expansive than comparable representations and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, the representations and covenants contained herein shall be construed to supplement the representations and covenants in the Credit Agreement without creating a conflict or inconsistency therewith, and Mortgagor shall be bound to the more stringent or expansive representations and covenants hereunder, provided, however, that any item, claim, action, omission or other matter expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall be permitted hereunder.

(c) If any remedy or right of Mortgagee pursuant hereto is acted upon by Mortgagee or if any actions or proceedings (including any bankruptcy,


10

insolvency or reorganization proceedings) are commenced in which Mortgagee is made a party and is obliged to defend or uphold or enforce this Mortgage or the rights of Mortgagee hereunder or the terms of any Lease, or if a condemnation proceeding is instituted affecting the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will pay all reasonable sums, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by Mortgagee related to the exercise of any remedy or right of Mortgagee pursuant hereto or for the expense of any such action or proceeding together with all statutory or other costs, disbursements and allowances, interest thereon from the date of demand for payment thereof at the rate specified in Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement (the "Default Interest Rate"), and such sums and the interest thereon shall, to the extent permissible by law, be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the recording of this Mortgage and shall be secured by this Mortgage to the extent permitted by law. Any payment of amounts due under this Mortgage not made on or before the due date for such payments shall accrue interest daily without notice from the due date until paid at the Default Interest Rate, and such interest at the Default Interest Rate shall be immediately due upon demand by Mortgagee.

SECTION 1.03. Payment of Taxes, Liens and Charges. (a) Except as may be expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor will pay and discharge from time to time prior to the time when the same shall become delinquent, and before any interest or penalty accrues thereon or attaches thereto, all taxes of every kind and nature, all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents, all vault charges, and all other public charges, and all service charges, common area charges, private maintenance charges, utility charges and all other private charges, whether of a like or different nature, imposed upon or assessed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or upon the Rents from the Mortgaged Property or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof.

(b) In the event of the passage of any state, Federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation subsequent to the date hereof

In such event Mortgagor shall (i) agree to enter into such further instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to obligate Mortgagor to make any applicable additional payments and
(ii) Mortgagor shall make such additional payments.

(c) At any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, or if required by any law applicable to Mortgagor or to Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall have the right to direct Mortgagor to make an initial deposit on account of real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and common area charges, levied against or payable in respect of the Mortgaged Property in advance and thereafter semi-annually, each such deposit to be equal to one-half of any such annual charges estimated in a reasonable manner by Mortgagee in order to accumulate with Mortgagee sufficient funds to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and charges.

SECTION 1.04. Payment of Closing Costs. Mortgagor shall pay all reasonable costs in connection with, relating to or arising out of the preparation, execution and recording of this Mortgage, including title company premiums and charges, inspection costs, survey costs, recording fees and taxes, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and all other similar reasonable expenses of every kind.

SECTION 1.05. Alterations and Waste; Plans. (a) Mortgagor will not alter, demolish, remove, renovate, expand, add to or erect any additions to the existing Improvements or other structures or any part thereof on the Premises which will materially interfere with the operation conducted thereon on the date hereof, without the written consent of Mortgagee (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Mortgagor will not commit any waste on the Mortgaged Property or make any alteration to, or change in the use of, the Mortgaged Property that will diminish the utility thereof for the operation of the business except as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement or materially increase any ordinary fire or other hazard arising out of construction or operation, but in no event shall any such alteration or change by contrary to


12

the terms of any insurance policy required to be kept pursuant to Section 1.06. Mortgagor will maintain and operate the Improvements and Personal Property in commercially reasonable working order and condition.

(b) To the extent the same exist on the date hereof or are obtained in connection with future permitted alterations, Mortgagor shall maintain a complete set of final plans, specifications, blueprints and drawings for the Mortgaged Property either at the Mortgaged Property or in a particular office at the headquarters of Mortgagor to which Mortgagee shall have access upon reasonable advance notice and at reasonable times.

SECTION 1.06. Insurance. Mortgagor will keep, cause to be kept or ensure that Terex keeps the Improvements and Personal Property insured against such risks, and in the manner, required by Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 1.07. Casualty and Condemnation. (a) The Mortgagor will furnish to the Mortgagee prompt written notice of any casualty or other insured damage to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof ("Casualty") or the taking of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding ("Condemnation") or the commencement of any action or proceeding for Condemnation.

(b) If any Casualty results in cash proceeds (whether in the form of insurance proceeds or otherwise) ("Casualty Proceeds") or any Condemnation results in cash proceeds ("Condemnation Proceeds", and together with Casualty Proceeds, "Proceeds"), the Mortgagee is authorized to collect such Proceeds and, if received by the Mortgagor, such Proceeds shall be paid over to the Mortgagee; provided that (i) if the aggregate Proceeds in respect of such event (other than proceeds of business interruption insurance) are less than $1,000,000, such Proceeds shall be paid over to the Mortgagor unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) all proceeds of business income insurance shall be paid over to the Mortgagor unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All such Proceeds retained by or paid over to the Mortgagee shall be held by the Mortgagee and released or applied in accordance with this Section 1.07.


13

(c) Proceeds relating to the Mortgaged Property held by the Mortgagee pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 1.07 shall be applied by the Mortgagee to the payment of the cost of restoring or replacing the Mortgaged Property so damaged, destroyed or taken or of the portion or portions of the Mortgaged Property not so taken (the "Work") and shall be paid out from time to time to the Mortgagor as and to the extent the Work (or the location and acquisition of any replacement of the Mortgaged Property) progresses for the payment thereof, but subject to each of the following conditions:

(i) the Mortgagor must promptly commence the restoration process or the location, acquisition and replacement process in connection with the Mortgaged Property;

(ii) the improvements shall (A) be in compliance with all requirements of applicable Governmental Authorities such that all representations and warranties of the Mortgagor relating to the compliance of such Mortgaged Property with applicable laws, rules or regulations in the Credit Agreement or this Mortgage will be correct in all respects and (B) be at least equal in value and general utility to the improvements that were on such Mortgaged Property (or that were on the Mortgaged Property that has been replaced, if applicable) prior to the casualty or condemnation, and in the case of a condemnation, subject to the effect of such condemnation;

(iii) except as provided in (iv) below, each request for payment shall be made on three business days' prior notice to the Mortgagee and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Mortgagor, stating (A) that the sum requested is justly required to reimburse the Mortgagor for payments by the Mortgagor to, or is justly due to, the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), (B) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (C) that, when added to all sums previously paid out by the Mortgagee, the sum requested does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of such certificate;

(iv) each request for payment in connection with the acquisition of a replacement Mortgaged Property shall be made on


14

30 days' prior notice to the Mortgagee and, in connection therewith, (A) each such request shall be accompanied by a copy of the sales contract or other document governing the acquisition of the replacement property by the Mortgagor and a certificate of the Mortgagor stating that the sum requested represents the sales price under such contract or document and the related reasonable transaction fees and expenses (including brokerage fees) and setting forth in sufficient detail the various components of such requested sum and (B) the Mortgagor shall
(I) in addition to any other items required to be delivered under this
Section 1.07), provide the Mortgagee with such opinions, documents, certificates, title insurance policies, surveys and other insurance policies as they may reasonably request and (II) take such other actions as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate (including actions with respect to the delivery to the Mortgagee of a first priority Mortgage with respect to such real property for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties);

(v) upon request of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall provide the Mortgagee with waivers of lien satisfactory to the Mortgagee covering that part of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by the Mortgagee, by a search prepared by a title company or licensed abstractor or by other evidence satisfactory to the Mortgagee, that there has not been filed with respect to such Mortgaged Property any mechanics' or other lien or instrument for the retention of title in respect of any part of the Work not discharged of record or bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of the Mortgagee;

(vi) there shall be no Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing;

(vii) the request for any payment after the Work has been completed shall be accompanied by a copy of any certificate or certificates required by law to render occupancy of the improvements being rebuilt, repaired or restored legal; and

(viii) after commencing the Work, the Mortgagor shall continue to perform the Work diligently and in good faith to completion in


15

accordance with the approved plans and specifications.

(d) If requested by Mortgagor, or if any Proceeds retained by or paid over to the Mortgagee as provided above continue to be held by the Mortgagee on the date that is 365 days after the occurrence of the event resulting in such Proceeds, then such Proceeds shall be applied to prepay Term Borrowings as provided in Section 2.13(f) of the Credit Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Section 1.07 shall prevent the Mortgagee from applying at any time all or any part of any Proceeds to (i) the curing of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or (ii) the payment of any of the Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

SECTION 1.08. Assignment of Leases and Rents. (a) Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns and grants a security interest in all of its right title and interest in all Leases, together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof for purposes of securing and discharging the performance by Mortgagor of the Obligations. Mortgagor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign or execute any assignment of, any other Lease or their respective Rents to anyone other than Mortgagee.

(b) Without Mortgagee's prior written consent, Mortgagor will not modify, amend, terminate or consent to the cancelation, surrender or assignment of any Lease if such modification, amendment, termination or consent could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties or the lien created by this Mortgage or have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property.

(c) Subject to Section 1.08(d), Mortgagor has assigned and transferred to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the Rents now or hereafter arising from each Lease heretofore or hereafter made or agreed to by Mortgagor, it being intended that this assignment establish, subject to
Section 1.08(b), an absolute transfer and assignment of all Rents and all Leases to Mortgagee and not merely to grant a security interest therein. Subject to
Section 1.08(d), Mortgagee may in Mortgagor's name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Mortgaged Property personally or by


16

receiver as provided herein) operate the Mortgaged Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of said Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due under any Lease.

(d) So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee will not exercise any of its rights under Section 1.08(c), and Mortgagor shall receive and collect the Rents accruing under any Lease; but after the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, receive and collect all Rents and enter upon the Premises and Improvements through its officers, agents, employees or attorneys for such purpose and for the operation and maintenance thereof and otherwise may act in accordance with Section 2.03. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of a claimed Event of Default sent by Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant's successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to Mortgagee without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if some notice to the contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to Mortgagee. Each tenant or any of such tenant's successors in interest from whom Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received written notice from Mortgagee that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by Mortgagee to such tenant or any of its successors in interest.

(e) Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter or take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenant, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Mortgaged Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Mortgaged Property or any other act or omission by any other person.


17

(f) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within 30 days after a request by Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all tenants, subtenants and concessionaires of the Premises or Improvements, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied and the rentals or license fees payable thereunder.

SECTION 1.09. Restrictions on Transfers and Encumbrances. Except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly sell, convey, deed over, alienate, assign, lease, sublease, license, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer, create, consent to or suffer the creation of any lien, charges or any form of encumbrance upon any interest in or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or be divested of its title to the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (other than resulting from a condemnation), or engage in any common, cooperative, joint, time-sharing or other congregate ownership of all or part thereof; provided, however, that Mortgagor may in the ordinary course of business within reasonable commercial standards, enter into easement or covenant agreements that relate to and/or benefit the operation of the Mortgaged Property and that do not materially and adversely affect the use and operation of the same (except for customary utility easements that service the Mortgaged Property, which are permitted).

SECTION 1.10. Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a mortgage of real property and a grant of a security interest in personal property, and shall constitute and serve as a "Security Agreement" within the meaning of the uniform commercial code as adopted in the state wherein the Premises are located ("UCC"). Mortgagor has hereby granted unto Mortgagee a security interest in and to all the Mortgaged Property described in this Mortgage that is not real property, and simultaneously with the recording of this Mortgage, Mortgagor has filed or will file UCC financing statements, and will file continuation statements prior to the lapse thereof, at the appropriate offices in the state in which the Premises are located to perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage in all the Mortgaged Property that is not real property. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute any document and to file the same in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act and thing


18

reasonably requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest contemplated by the preceding sentence. Mortgagee shall have all rights with respect to the part of the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of a security interest afforded by the UCC in addition to, but not in limitation of, the other rights afforded Mortgagee hereunder and under the Security Agreement.

SECTION 1.11. Filing and Recording. Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage, any other security instrument creating a security interest in or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien hereof upon, and the security interest of Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incidental to the execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Personal Property, and any instrument of further assurance and all Federal, state, county and municipal recording, documentary or intangible taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Personal Property or any instrument of further assurance.

SECTION 1.12. Further Assurances. Upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor will, at the cost of Mortgagor and without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall from time to time require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and on demand, Mortgagor will also execute and deliver and hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute and file to the extent it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments reasonably requested by Mortgagee to evidence


19

more effectively the lien hereof upon the Personal Property and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done to accomplish the same.

SECTION 1.13. Additions to Mortgaged Property. All right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property hereafter acquired by or released to Mortgagor or constructed, assembled or placed by Mortgagor upon the Premises or the Improvements, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment or other act by Mortgagor, shall become subject to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage as fully and completely and with the same effect as though now owned by Mortgagor and specifically described in the grant of the Mortgaged Property above, but at any and all times Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee any and all such further assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as Mortgagee may require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.

SECTION 1.14. No Claims Against Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Mortgagee in respect thereof.

SECTION 1.15. Fixture Filing. Certain of the Mortgaged Property is or will become "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the UCC) on the Land, and this Mortgage upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said UCC upon such of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become fixtures.


20

ARTICLE II

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 2.01. Events of Default. Any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (as such term is defined therein) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage.

SECTION 2.02. Demand for Payment. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, upon written demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee all amounts due hereunder and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by Mortgagee and Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute an action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, to prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, to enforce any such judgment or final decree against Mortgagor and to collect, in any manner provided by law, all moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

SECTION 2.03. Rights To Take Possession, Operate and Apply Revenues.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagor shall, upon demand of Mortgagee, forthwith surrender to Mortgagee actual possession of the Mortgaged Property and, if and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Mortgagee itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may then enter and take possession of all the Mortgaged Property without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have access to the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor.

(b) If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagee may to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Mortgagee's attorneys and agents with interest thereon at the


21

Default Interest Rate; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by this Mortgage.

(c) Upon every such entry or taking of possession, Mortgagee may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, (iii) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured, (iv) manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Mortgagor to the same extent as Mortgagor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same, and (v) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted Mortgagee, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by Mortgagee to be in its best interest and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to perform any of the foregoing acts. Mortgagee may collect and receive all the Rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Mortgaged Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (i) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Mortgaged Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the costs of insurance, (iv) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Mortgagee may at its option pay, (v) other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and (vi) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall apply the remainder of the moneys and proceeds so received first to the payment of the Mortgagee for the satisfaction of the Obligations, and second, if there is any surplus, to Mortgagor, subject to the entitlement of others thereto under applicable law.

(d) Whenever, before any sale of the Mortgaged Property under Section 2.06, all Obligations that are then due shall have been paid and all Events of Default fully cured, Mortgagee will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property back to Mortgagor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking


22

possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

SECTION 2.04. Right To Cure Failure to Perform. Should Mortgagor [or Terex]3 fail in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement (with respect to the Mortgaged Property), Mortgagee may at any time after ten days notice to the Mortgager (or, to the extent the Mortgagee deems it necessary to act prior the end of such ten day notice period in order to preserve the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor's rights to and use of the Mortgaged Property or the lien created by this Mortgage any shorter notice period) pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate. Mortgagee shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe and without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor, to any person in possession holding under Mortgagor or to any other person.

SECTION 2.05. Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect and apply the Rents. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee upon demand all expenses, including receiver's fees, attorney's fees and disbursements, costs and agent's compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate.

SECTION 2.06. Foreclosure and Sale. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may elect to sell the Mortgaged Property or

3 Include where Mortgagor is not Terex.

23

any part of the Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to Mortgagee by applicable law or this Mortgage. In such case, Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage, or it may proceed and sell the Mortgaged Property to satisfy any Obligation. Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property, may sell all or such parts of the Mortgaged Property as may be chosen by Mortgagee at the time and place of sale fixed by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as Mortgagee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder. Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale. Without further notice, Mortgagee or an officer appointed to sell the Mortgaged Property may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee or any designee or affiliate thereof, may purchase at such sale.

(b) The Mortgaged Property may be sold subject to unpaid taxes and Permitted Encumbrances, and, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Mortgagee (including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale), Mortgagee or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale in the manner set forth in Section 2.08.

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until the Obligations have been satisfied, or the entirety of the Mortgaged Property has been sold.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may instead of, or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 2.06(a) above and either with or without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of some or all of the Obligations, or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or any other right, or


24

(ii) to pursue any other remedy available to Mortgagee, all as Mortgagee shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

SECTION 2.07. Other Remedies. (a) In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by law, any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Mortgaged Property or any Personal Property and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 2.08, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Obligations, plus all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest.

SECTION 2.08. Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents. After any foreclosure sale of all or any of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall receive the proceeds of sale, no purchaser shall be required to see to the application of the proceeds and Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of the sale together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in their capacities as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Mortgage or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Mortgagee hereunder, the Collateral Agent under any other Loan Document on behalf of the Mortgagor or any other Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and


25

THIRD, to the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Mortgagee shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Mortgage. Upon any sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Mortgagee or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Mortgaged Property so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Mortgagee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 2.09. Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. If Mortgagor remains in possession of any of the Mortgaged Property after any foreclosure sale by Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's election Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

SECTION 2.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Mortgagor waives, to the extent not prohibited by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted providing for any appraisement of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may be hereafter enacted in any way extending the time for the enforcement or the collection of amounts due under any of the Obligations or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt or any other amounts due Mortgagee, (iii) any right to at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, homestead exemption, valuation, stay, statute of limitations, extension or redemption, or sale of the Mortgaged Property as separate tracts, units or estates or as a single parcel in the event of foreclosure or notice of deficiency, and (iv) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of or each of the Obligations and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage.

SECTION 2.11. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Mortgagee shall proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by


26

foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall be discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall be determined adversely to Mortgagee, then and in every such case Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

SECTION 2.12. Suits To Protect the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall have power (a) to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property and in the Rents arising therefrom and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security or be prejudicial to the interest of Mortgagee hereunder.

SECTION 2.13. Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Mortgagee allowed in such proceedings for the Obligations secured by this Mortgage at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after such date.

SECTION 2.14. Possession by Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of Mortgagor, any of its property or the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by law, to remain in possession and control of all parts of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter granted under this Mortgage to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.

In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

SECTION 2.16. Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and each and every such right, power and


28

remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

ARTICLE IV

Subject Leases

SECTION 4.01. The Subject Leases. (a) Each Subject Lease is in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof, and has not been modified except as expressly set forth on Exhibit B hereto. Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee a true, correct and complete copy of each Subject Lease. No material


31

default exists, and to the best knowledge of Mortgagor, no event or act has occurred and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default, under any Subject Lease. The execution and delivery of this Mortgage by Mortgagor (i) does not require the consent or approval of the landlord under any Subject Lease (or, if any consent or approval of the landlord is required, such has been obtained and a copy of such consent or approval has been delivered to Mortgagee or the Mortgagor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent or approval) and (ii) will not violate or result in a default under any Subject Lease.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not modify, amend, or in any way alter the terms of any Subject Lease if such modification, amendment or alteration would increase the monetary obligations of the Mortgagor under the Subject Lease or otherwise be adverse in any respect to the interests of Mortgagee or materially lower the value of the Mortgaged Property. Except to the extent expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) Mortgagor shall not (i) in any way cancel, release, terminate, surrender or reduce the term of any Subject Lease, (ii) waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge landlord of or from the obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements by said landlord to be done and performed or (iv) consent to the subordination of any Subject Lease to any mortgage unless such subordination is required by the terms of such Subject Lease; provided that the Mortgagor shall take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure such Subject Lease does not require such consent. Any attempt on the part of Mortgagor to do any of the foregoing without such written consent of Mortgagee shall be null and void and of no effect and shall constitute a Default hereunder.

(c) Mortgagor shall at all times promptly and faithfully keep and perform in all material respects, or cause to be kept and performed in all material respects, all the covenants and conditions contained in each Subject Lease by the lessee therein to be kept and performed and shall in all material respects conform to and comply with the terms and conditions of each Subject Lease and Mortgagor further covenants that it will not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair the security of this Mortgage or will be reason for


32

declaring a material default under any Subject Lease.

(d) Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee notice in writing promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof of any material default on the part of the landlord under any Subject Lease or of the receipt by Mortgagor of any notice of default from the landlord thereunder by providing to Mortgagee a copy of any such notice received by Mortgagor from such landlord and this shall be done without regard to the fact that Mortgagee may be entitled to such notice directly from the landlord. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any default under any Subject Lease by landlord or giving of any notice by the landlord to Mortgagor of such landlord's intention to end the term thereof. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee promptly upon Mortgagee's reasonable request any and all information concerning the performance by Mortgagor of the covenants of any Subject Lease and shall permit Mortgagee or its representative at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, to make investigation or examination concerning the performance by Mortgagor of the covenants of any Subject Lease.

(e) Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) at any time after ten days notice to the Mortgagor (or, to the extent the Mortgagee deems it necessary to act prior the end of such ten day notice period on order to preserve the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor's rights to and use of the Mortgaged Property or the lien created by this Mortgage, any shorter notice period) take any such action Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to cure, in whole or in part, any failure of compliance by Mortgagor under any Subject Lease; and upon the receipt by Mortgagee from Mortgagor or the landlord under any Subject Lease of any written notice of default by Mortgagor as the lessee thereunder, Mortgagee may rely thereon, and such notice shall constitute full authority and protection to Mortgagee for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith reliance thereon. All sums, including reasonable attorneys' fees, so expended by the Mortgagee to cure or prevent any such default, or expended to sustain the lien of this Mortgage or its priority, shall be deemed secured by this Mortgage and shall be paid by the Mortgagor on demand, with interest accruing thereon at the Default Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.01(e), Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee (subject to the terms of each Subject Lease), and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Leased Land and the


33

Improvements or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Mortgagee, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to cure any such default or alleged default by Mortgagor.

(f) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, all lessee's options, elections and approval rights, together with the right of termination, cancelation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of each Subject Lease, all of which have been assigned for collateral purposes to Mortgagee, shall automatically vest exclusively in and be exercisable solely by Mortgagee.

(g) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

(h) Mortgagor will give Mortgagee prompt written notice of the commencement of any arbitration or appraisal proceeding under and pursuant to the provisions of the Subject Lease. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to intervene and participate in any such proceeding and Mortgagor shall confer with Mortgagee to the extent which Mortgagee deems necessary for the protection of Mortgagee. Mortgagor may compromise any dispute or approval which is the subject of an arbitration or appraisal proceeding with the prior written consent of Mortgagee which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(i) So long as this Mortgage is in effect, there shall be no merger of any Subject Lease or any interest therein, or of the leasehold estate created thereby, with the fee estate in the Land or any portion thereof by reason of the fact that such Subject Lease or such interest therein may be held directly or indirectly by or for the account of any person who shall hold the landlord's leasehold estate or fee estate in the Land or any portion thereof or any interest of the landlord under such Subject Lease. In case the Mortgagor acquires fee title to the Land, this Mortgage shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of any such acquisition and, on written request by Mortgagee, shall cause to be executed and recorded all such other and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee be necessary or appropriate to effect the intent and meaning hereof and shall


34

deliver to Mortgagee an endorsement to Mortgagee's loan title insurance policy insuring that such fee title or other estate is subject to the lien of this Mortgage.

(j) In the event that the Mortgagor as lessee under any Subject Lease exercises any option or right to purchase any parcel of land which option or right is granted under said Subject Lease, then upon the vesting of the title of such parcel in the Mortgagor, this Mortgage shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Mortgage.

(k) If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict Mortgagor or to recover possession of any leasehold parcel or any part thereof or interest therein or any action or proceeding otherwise affecting any Subject Lease or this Mortgage shall be instituted, then Mortgagor will, promptly upon service thereof on or to Mortgagor, deliver to Mortgagee a notice of motion, order to show cause and of all other provisions, pleadings, and papers, however designated, served in any such action or proceeding.

(l) The lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of Mortgagor's rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 365(h), as the same may hereafter be amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), including, without limitation, all of Mortgagor's rights to remain in possession of each leasehold parcel.

(m) Mortgagor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection of any Subject Lease by the lessor or any other fee owner of any leasehold parcel or any portion thereof under the Bankruptcy Code. Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Subject Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, without joining or the joinder of Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case with respect to the lessor or any fee owner of all or a portion of any leasehold parcel under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment


35

constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until, pursuant to
Section 3.04 hereof, the conveyance of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee is null and void. Any amounts received by Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Subject Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of Mortgagee (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this paragraph. Mortgagor shall promptly make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, a UCC financing statement (Form UCC-1) and all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any time hereafter be required by Mortgagee to effectuate and carry out the assignment pursuant to this paragraph.

(n) If pursuant to Subsection 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. ss. 365(h)(2), Mortgagor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in any Subject Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor or any fee owner of any of their respective obligations under such Subject Lease after the rejection by the lessor or any fee owner of such Subject Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so, setting forth the amount proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Mortgagee shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, would constitute a breach of such Subject Lease, and in the event of such objection, Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Mortgagee. Neither Mortgagee's failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Mortgagee.

(o) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the lessor or any fee owner of any leasehold parcel, or any portion thereof or interest therein, or any Subject Lease in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagee shall have the option, exercisable upon written notice from Mortgagee to Mortgagor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Mortgagee's choice. Mortgagee may proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in connection with any such litigation, and Mortgagor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents required by Mortgagee in connection


36

therewith. Mortgagor shall, upon demand, pay to Mortgagee all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. Mortgagor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of any Subject Lease in any such case under Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

(p) Mortgagor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Mortgagee of any filing by or against the lessor or fee owner of any leasehold parcel of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. At Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee, following receipt, copies of any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Mortgagor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

(q) If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code and Mortgagor, as lessee under any Subject Lease, shall determine to reject such Subject Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee not less than twenty days' prior notice of the date on which Mortgagor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject such Subject Lease. Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Mortgagor within such twenty day period a notice stating that Mortgagee demands that Mortgagor assume and assign such Subject Lease to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If Mortgagee shall serve upon Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Mortgagor shall not seek to reject such Subject Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence.

(r) Effective upon the entry of an order for relief with respect to Mortgagor under the Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court under subsection 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which any Subject Lease may be rejected or assumed.
