18


Net Cash if Estimated Net Cash is determined to be negative), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, net of any withholdings that Buyer reasonably determines may be required by Law and for which Buyer notifies Seller Parent in writing thereof by January 30, 2010 (the “Initial Purchase Price,” and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4(b), Section 2.8 and Section 2.10(d), the “Purchase Price”); provided however, that Buyer shall not withhold an amount from the Purchase Price if Seller Parent provides Buyer with a written opinion from a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm that it is more likely than not that Buyer is not required to withhold such amounts in respect of the Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller Parent agree to cooperate in determining whether and to what extent the amounts paid in respect of the Purchase Price may be subject to withholding. In furtherance thereof, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to prepare and file all forms, applications and other procedures to minimize any required withholdings, including, without limitation, the filing of an application with the Canada Revenue Agency for a clearance certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not withhold any amounts for which Seller Parent was not notified in writing of such amounts by January 30, 2010, without Seller Parent’s written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(b) No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall deliver to Buyer a good faith estimate of (x) Cash of the Sold Companies as of the Closing Date, less the sum of any Indebtedness of the Sold Companies (“Closing Date Net Cash”, and such estimate referred to as “Estimated Net Cash”) and (y) the Aggregate Discounted Amount (such estimate referred to as the “Estimated Aggregate Discounted Amount”). Following the Closing, the parties shall calculate and agree upon Closing Date Net Cash and the Aggregate Discounted Amount (or failing such agreement under Section 2.8(a), Closing Date Net Cash and Aggregate Discounted Amount will be determined as provided in Section 2.8 using the procedural requirements set forth in Section 2.8). To the extent Estimated Net Cash exceeds Closing Date Net Cash, Seller Parent shall pay to Buyer such excess in U.S. dollars. To the extent Closing Date Net Cash exceeds Estimated Net Cash, Buyer shall pay to Seller Parent such excess in U.S. dollars. To the extent Estimated Aggregate Discounted Amount exceeds Aggregate Discounted Amount, Buyer shall pay to Seller Parent such excess in U.S. dollars. To the extent Aggregate Discounted Amount exceeds Estimated Aggregate Discounted Amount, Seller Parent shall pay Buyer such excess in U.S. dollars. Such payment shall be made contemporaneously with, and without duplication of, payments between the parties pursuant to Section 2.8(d).

SECTION 2.5. Equity Option. (a) Seller Parent may request that $300,000,000.00 (such amount, as may be adjusted upon mutual agreement of the Parties, the “Equity Amount”) of the Purchase Price be paid in the form of Bucyrus Stock in accordance with this Section 2.5, and as set forth in the Equity Agreement (as defined below). To make such request, Seller Parent shall give written notice (the “Equity Notice”) to Buyer, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement. The amount of Bucyrus Stock to be delivered in respect of the Equity Amount shall equal the Stock Consideration (as defined below). Seller Parent may request that the Equity Amount be paid in whole or in part for Acquired Assets and/or in whole or in part in exchange for the equity of certain of the Sold Companies (and such request shall be specified in the Equity Notice). Buyer and Seller Parent shall cooperate with one another in good faith in an effort to structure the Equity Agreement and the allocation of the Stock Consideration between Acquired Assets and equity of Sold Subsidiaries in a mutually beneficial manner, including in respect of taxes.

 

19


(b) Completion of the Equity Agreement and the delivery of the Stock Consideration, as part of the Initial Purchase Price (and the corresponding reduction in the cash portion of the Purchase Price under Section 2.4(a)), is conditioned upon (i) receipt of the Equity Notice; (ii) completion of the due diligence contemplated by Section 2.5(c) reasonably satisfactory to Seller Parent; (iii) the entry into the purchase agreement and any amendments to this Agreement as contemplated by Section 2.5(d), in each case reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller Parent; and (iv) satisfaction of any conditions precedent in the Equity Agreement; provided that in the event that each of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) are not satisfied on or before January 15, 2010, the Equity Notice shall be deemed to have been fully and irrevocably withdrawn.

(c) Prior to Closing (following Seller Parent’s delivery of the Equity Notice), Buyer shall, subject to Seller Parent’s entering into customary confidentiality arrangements similar to the Confidentiality Agreement, afford Seller Parent the opportunity, at Seller Parent’s request, to conduct customary due diligence with respect to Buyer and the Bucyrus Stock, including making the Buyer’s management team reasonably available for such purposes.

(d) Upon receipt by Buyer of the Equity Notice, Buyer and Seller Parent shall in good faith negotiate mutually acceptable transfer documentation (the “Equity Agreement”) for the Stock Consideration, including amending this Agreement to the extent necessary. Such documentation or amendment to this Agreement shall in any event include or provide for the following:

(i) The Equity Agreement shall include customary representations and warranties from Buyer in favor of the Seller Parent as to Buyer’s and its Subsidiaries existence, good standing, authorization and absence of conflicts and required consents, capitalization, the validity of the Bucyrus Stock, Buyer’s periodic reports under the Exchange Act, financial statements and absence of a material adverse change and from Seller Parent in favor of Buyer as to existence, good standing, authorization and absence of conflicts and required consents that are customary, where the consideration or a portion of the consideration is to be paid in the stock of a publicly traded company listed on a national securities exchange, and from Seller Parent in favor of Buyer as to which representations and warranties shall (i) survive the Closing for a period of 18 months (except for certain representations and warranties that shall survive for periods consistent with those set forth in Section 9.5 hereof) and (ii) otherwise be deemed to be representations and warranties under this Agreement for all purposes, including Article IX hereof.

(ii) A Stockholders’ Agreement under which Seller Parent shall agree to be subject to (A) a customary standstill agreement restricting certain corporate actions for a period of the shorter of (x) five (5) years and (y) the time at which Seller Parent and its Affiliates no longer hold 5% or more of the outstanding Bucyrus Stock and (B) restrictions on transferring or selling the Stock Consideration, including an initial lockup period of one year. Seller Parent shall not at any time during the lock-up period, enter into any Hedging Contracts with respect to, or enter any other transaction that is intended to or otherwise would have the effect of transferring an economic interest in, the Stock Consideration.

 

20


(iii) Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, Buyer will agree, after the Closing Date to effect one underwritten demand registration pursuant to which the Stock Consideration shall be registered (subject to customary “cutback” provisions) and will agree to maintain a “shelf” registration, subject to customary terms and conditions, at Seller Parent’s request in order to facilitate Seller Parent’s desired liquidity in the Bucyrus Stock. Buyer shall also provide Seller Parent with customary “piggy back” registration rights, subject to customary limitations. Seller Parent’s registration rights will expire at such time as Seller Parent is entitled to sell all of the Stock Consideration in any three-month period without material restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

SECTION 2.6. The Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Article VIII, and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles VI and VII, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Domestic Assets and the Domestic Shares shall take place at the offices of Bryan Cave LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10104, on a day that is at least five Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Articles VI and VII hereof (the “Domestic Closing Date”, or “Closing Date”), or at such other place and time as may be agreed upon by Seller Parent and Buyer. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Closing will be deemed to have occurred at the close of business local time in each applicable jurisdiction on the Closing Date (with respect to each such jurisdiction, the “Effective Time”). The closings of the sale of the Foreign Acquired Assets and Foreign Sold Shares (the “Foreign Closing”) shall take place on the Domestic Closing Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, at such places as may be specified in the respective Foreign Implementation Agreements relating to the such Foreign Acquired Assets and Foreign Sold Shares.

SECTION 2.8. Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, a statement containing a calculation of the Net Asset Value as of the Closing Date (the “Net Asset Value Statement”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the definition of Net Asset Value. “Net Asset Value” shall mean the book value of those components of the Acquired Assets (excluding any Excluded Assets) less those components of the Assumed Liabilities (excluding any Excluded Liabilities), and the book value of those components of the assets and liabilities of the Sold Companies, in each case as set forth in Schedule 2.8(a) and determined on a combined basis in accordance with the same accounting principles used in the preparation of the Base Statement of Net Asset Value applied on a basis consistent with, and reflecting all categories of adjustments on, the Base Statement of Net Asset Value in each case in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect as of December 31, 2009 and on the same currency exchange rates as those reflected on such Schedule 2.8(a). For the avoidance of doubt, Cash and Indebtedness shall be excluded in the determination of Net Asset Value. Seller Parent will assist and cooperate with Buyer in the preparation of the Net Asset Value Statement, including by providing Buyer and its accountants access to the books and records of the Business in its possession and to any other information in its possession necessary to prepare the Net Asset Value Statement.

(b) Seller Parent shall, within 30 days after the delivery by Buyer of the Net Asset Value Statement, complete its review of the Net Asset Value Statement. In the event that Seller Parent determines that the Net Asset Value Statement has not been prepared on a basis consistent with the requirements of Section 2.8(a), Seller Parent shall, on or before the last day of such 30-day period, inform Buyer in writing (the “Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of the Objection, the adjustments to the Net Asset Value Statement which Seller Parent believes should be made, and Seller Parent’s calculation of the Net Asset Value, and Seller Parent shall be deemed to have accepted any items not specifically disputed in the Objection. Failure to so notify Buyer within such 30-day period shall constitute acceptance and approval of Buyer’s calculation of the Net Asset Value.

 

24


(c) Buyer shall have 30 days following the date it receives the Objection to review and respond to the Objection. Seller Parent will provide Buyer and its accountants access to any relevant books and records of the Business not in the possession of Buyer, work papers and to any other information necessary to evaluate the Objection. If Seller Parent and Buyer are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items by the 30th day following Buyer’s response thereto, after having used their good faith efforts to reach a resolution, they shall refer their remaining differences to Ernst & Young LLP or another internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which Seller Parent and Buyer mutually agree (the “CPA Firm”), who shall, acting as experts in accounting and not as arbitrators, determine on a basis consistent with the requirements of Section 2.8(a), and only with respect to the specific remaining accounting related differences so submitted, whether and to what extent the Net Asset Value Statement requires adjustment. Seller Parent and Buyer shall request the CPA Firm to render its determination within 45 days. The CPA Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller Parent and Buyer. Seller Parent and Buyer shall make reasonably available to the CPA Firm and each other all relevant books and records, any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants) and supporting documentation relating to the Net Asset Value Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm. The “Final Statement of Net Asset Value” shall be (i) the Net Asset Value Statement in the event that Seller Parent notifies Buyer that there will be no Objection or no Objection is delivered to Buyer during the initial 30-day period specified above, (ii) the Net Asset Value Statement, as adjusted in accordance with the Objection, in the event that Buyer notifies Seller Parent that it accepts its Objection or Buyer does not respond to the Objection during the 30-day period specified above following receipt by Buyer of the Objection or (iii) the Net Asset Value Statement, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of Buyer and Seller Parent or as adjusted by the CPA Firm, together with any other modifications to the Net Asset Value Statement agreed upon by Seller Parent and Buyer. All fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne equally by Seller Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand.

(d) (i) If the calculation of the Net Asset Value contained in the Final Statement of Net Asset Value is less than the Seller NAV Threshold, Seller Parent shall pay an amount in cash equal to the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds to Buyer within three (3) Business Days after the ultimate determination of the Final Statement of Net Asset Value as provided in this Section 2.8(d).

(ii) If the Closing Date occurs on or before February 28, 2010 and the calculation of the Net Asset Value contained in the Final Statement of Net Asset Value is greater than the Buyer NAV Threshold (such difference being referred to as “Buyer Excess”), Buyer shall pay an amount in cash equal to the amount of such Buyer Excess to Seller Parent up to a maximum of $25,000,000.

(iii) If the Closing Date occurs after February 28, 2010 and the Buyer Excess is less than or equal to $25,000,000, Buyer shall pay an amount in cash equal to the amount of such Buyer Excess to Seller Parent.

(iv) If the Closing Date occurs after February 28, 2010 and the Buyer Excess is greater than $25,000,000, the Buyer Excess shall also be calculated as of February 28, 2010 (the “February Buyer Excess”). If the Buyer Excess as of the Closing Date is (x) less than the

 

25


February Buyer Excess, Buyer shall pay an amount in cash equal to the amount of such February Buyer Excess up to a maximum of $25,000,000 or (y) greater than the February Buyer Excess, Buyer shall pay an amount in cash equal to the amount of such February Buyer Excess up to a maximum of $25,000,000, plus an amount equal to the amount by which the Buyer Excess as of the Closing Date exceeds the February Buyer Excess.

SECTION 2.9. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Purchase Price (including the amount of Liabilities that are treated as assumed for Tax purposes) shall initially be allocated among (i) the Acquired Assets and (ii) the Sold Shares as set forth on Schedule 2.9. Where the allocation on Schedule 2.9 is for a group of Acquired Assets or a Sold Company for which a Section 338(g) election is made pursuant to Section 5.6(d) herein, then prior to the Closing, Seller Parent and Buyer shall mutually agree to make further sub-allocations in the Purchase Price to the applicable Acquired Assets in each such group listed on Schedule 2.9 in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, as appropriate, and such allocation shall be set forth on a separate schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). To the extent Seller Parent and Buyer cannot agree on a mutually acceptable Allocation Schedule, the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by the mutually agreed upon CPA Firm, whose decision shall be final and binding and whose expenses shall be shared equally by Seller Parent and Buyer. The Allocation Schedule shall be finalized and agreed to as soon as reasonably practicable after the Final Statement of Net Asset Value is determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in the preceding sentence. In the event an adjustment to the Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 2.8 or otherwise under this Agreement, Seller Parent will prepare, in accordance with the above provisions, and provide to Buyer a revised Allocation Schedule and Buyer and Seller Parent will file amended IRS Forms 8594.

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, Seller Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, to report the Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule and the Purchase Price allocation described therein, as it may be revised from time to time, and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith in preparing any Tax Returns, IRS Form 8594 and any other Tax forms or filings, as well as in preparing any published financial statements, and, unless required by Law, none of Buyer, Seller Parent or their respective Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent therewith upon examination of any Tax Return, in any Tax refund claim, or in any Tax litigation or investigation, without the prior written consent of Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be; provided, however, that Buyer’s Tax basis in the Acquired Assets and the Sold Shares may exceed the total amount allocated to the Acquired Assets and the Sold Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9 to reflect Buyer’s capitalized transaction costs, and the Sellers’ amount realized may be less than the total amount allocated to the Acquired Assets and the Sold Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9 in order to reflect the Sellers’ transaction costs.

SECTION 2.10. Completion of Transfers.

(a) The entire beneficial interest in and to, and the risk of loss with respect to, the Sold Shares, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities shall pass to Buyer as of the Domestic Closing Date, regardless of when legal title thereto shall be transferred to Buyer. All

 

26


operations of the Business shall be for the account of the Sellers up to the Effective Time and shall be for the account of Buyer thereafter, subject to Section 2.10(d). In the event legal title to any of the Sold Shares or the Acquired Assets is not transferred at the Closing, the Seller of such Sold Shares or Acquired Assets shall hold such Sold Shares or Acquired Assets as nominee for Buyer until completion of such transfers.

(b) In the event that (i) the legal interest in the Foreign Sold Shares or the Foreign Acquired Assets, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered as contemplated hereunder as of the Domestic Closing Date because any Consents required for such transfer have not been obtained or waived (“Foreign Deferred Transfers”) and (ii) such Foreign Deferred Transfers consist solely of De Minimis Foreign Transfers, then the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the legal interest in such De Minimis Foreign Transfers shall be deferred until such Consents have been obtained. Seller Parent shall, and shall cause the Share Sellers and the Asset Sellers, and Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in obtaining such Consents as may be necessary to complete such transfers as soon as practicable (provided that neither the Sellers nor Buyer or its Affiliates shall be required to expend money, commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party (other than immaterial filing, recordation or similar fees). Subject to Article VII, the failure of Seller Parent to obtain any required Consents prior to Closing in respect of De Minimis Foreign Transfers shall not affect Buyer’s obligations to close under this Agreement or to pay, or cause to be paid, the Initial Purchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign to Buyer any legal interest in any of the Sold Shares or the Acquired Assets which, as a matter of law or by the terms of any legally binding contract, engagement or commitment to which any of the Sellers or the Sold Companies are subject, is not assignable without the consent of any other party, unless such consent shall have been given. Once such Consents are obtained, Seller Parent shall, and shall cause the Asset Sellers or the Share Sellers, as the case may be, to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver any such De Minimis Foreign Transfers. For purposes of this Section 2.10(b), “De Minimis Foreign Transfer” means the shares or assets with respect to any or all of the following: (i) PT Terex (Indonesia); (ii) Hypac (China); (iii) Terex NHL (China); (iv) the portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of Chile; and (v) the portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of South Africa. For the avoidance of doubt, De Minimis Foreign Transfers shall not include any of the following: (i) any portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of Germany; (ii) Terex Mining Australia and any portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of Australia; (iii) Equipo de Acuña S.A. de C.V. and any portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico; (iv) O&K and any portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of Canada; and (v) Halco and any portion of the Business and Acquired Assets located in or subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.

(c) Pending the assignments, conveyances and transfers referred to in Section 2.10(b), Seller Parent shall hold and cause the other Sellers to hold any such non-assigned Sold Shares or Acquired Assets for the benefit and at the risk of Buyer and shall cooperate with Buyer in any lawful and reasonable arrangements designed to provide Buyer the benefits of ownership thereof, including indemnities, that they would have obtained had such Sold Shares or Acquired

 

27


Assets been sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered to Buyer at the Closing, and shall pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with its use of any such Foreign Sold Shares or Foreign Acquired Assets (net of any Taxes and any other costs imposed upon Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.10, including, without limitation, entering into at the reasonable request of Buyer appropriate management agreements in form and substance mutually agreeable to the parties. Each Party shall pay its own expenses in connection with establishing the arrangements under this Section 2.10. Any Taxes, costs, expenses or other Liabilities imposed on or incurred by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Sold Shares or Foreign Acquired Assets in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.10 shall be borne by Buyer.

(d) If, after the Domestic Closing Date, any Foreign Acquired Assets or any Foreign Sold Shares are unable to be transferred as contemplated by this Agreement by March 31, 2011 (the “Foreign Outside Date”) as a result of failure to obtain the applicable Consent, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Foreign Acquired Assets or Foreign Sold Shares and the Purchase Price shall be further adjusted by (i) recalculating the Final Net Asset Value to exclude such Foreign Acquired Assets, Foreign Sold Companies and the Foreign Assumed Liabilities, as of the Closing Date and (ii) including any benefits received by Buyer with respect to such Foreign Acquired Assets or Foreign Sold Companies from the Closing Date through the Foreign Outside Date. To the extent (x) the Purchase Price is increased as result of such adjustment, Buyer shall pay Seller Parent such difference and (y) the Purchase Price is decreased by such adjustment, Seller Parent shall pay Buyer such difference. In the event failure to obtain a Consent is the result of a failure by a party hereto to perform any covenants or agreements in this Agreement in connection with obtaining a Consent, such failing party may not receive payment pursuant to this Section 2.10(d), and the non-defaulting party shall retain all its indemnity and other rights set out in this Agreement with respect to such failure to perform its agreements hereunder. Buyer and Seller Parent shall enter into such arrangements to the extent permitted by applicable Law (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties hereto the economic (taking into account Tax and other costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such Consents and the performance by the applicable Sellers of the obligations thereunder.

51


Buyer’s obligations hereunder) and provided further that Seller Parent may impose reasonable limitations on such access to ensure that such access does not interfere with the normal business operations of Seller Parent, the Asset Seller or the Sold Companies (including requiring Buyer’s representatives to be bound by customary confidentiality agreements); and (ii) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Buyer any financial and operating data and other information that is available with respect to the Business as Buyer from time to time reasonably requests, provided, that Buyer shall pay any out-of-pocket costs associated with such access. The parties agree that the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and all information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Buyer by January 15, 2010, audited combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, and the audited combined statements of income and cash flows for the Business for the periods ended on December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the unaudited combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 and the unaudited combined statements of income and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 for the Business (the “Final Financial Statements”).

The fees and expenses of the Auditors and other expenses relating to the Updated Financial Statements shall be borne by the Buyer.

(c) From the Closing Date through the date on which separate financial statements of the Business are no longer required under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC to be provided in a periodic report or registration statement filed by Buyer with the SEC, Seller Parent shall cooperate with Buyer to request the Auditors, with Buyer being responsible for any out-of-pocket costs of Seller Parent, to (i) deliver to Buyer one or more duly executed consents to the inclusion of the Auditors report on the Final Financial Statements or the Updated Financial Statements to the extent required to be audited pursuant to Regulation S-X, as the case may be, to the extent required to be included in reports or registration statements filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act by Buyer or its Affiliates and their respective successors from time to time (“SEC Filings”) and the references in such SEC Filings to the Auditors as experts subject in each case to the Auditors’ usual procedures and professional standards and after being given reasonable opportunity to review such SEC Filings and documents incorporated by reference therein and (ii) issue customary comfort letters (concerning matters which are the subject of Final Financial Statements and the Updated Financial Statements, if applicable, that may be required in connection with any offering of debt or equity securities by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors (after being given reasonable opportunity to review such offering documents)); provided that none of the Sellers shall have any liability to Buyer with respect to such comfort letters.

52


schedule of changes (the “Update Schedule”) to any of the information contained in the Disclosure Schedules (including changes to any other representations or warranties in Article III hereof as to which no Disclosure Schedule has been created as of the date hereof but as to which a Disclosure Schedule would have been required if such changes had existed on the date hereof), which changes are required as a result of events or circumstances occurring subsequent to the date hereof which would render any representation or warranty materially inaccurate or incomplete at any time after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, which Update Schedule shall be dated as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if such supplemental information relates to an event or circumstance occurring subsequent to the date hereof and if Buyer would have the right to not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a result of the failure of the condition contained in Section 7.1 on the basis of the supplemental information so disclosed and it does not exercise such right prior to the Closing, then such supplemental information shall constitute an amendment of the representation, warranty or statement to which it relates for purposes of Article X of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.4. Efforts; Regulatory Filings and Consents.

(a) Each of Seller Parent and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to obtain any and all required Consents and Permits and to obtain any Consent of any Governmental Antitrust Authority required to be obtained or made by Seller Parent or Buyer, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to divest any assets, and provided, further, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to make any material monetary expenditure, commence or be a plaintiff in any litigation or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Person. Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.4, Buyer and Seller Parent each agrees to take or cause to be taken the following actions: (i) provide promptly to any Governmental Authority information and documents requested by any Governmental Authority or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Closing Agreements and (ii) in the event that, after substantial compliance with all requests for information, any complaint or challenge by any Governmental Authority seeking a preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, or, in the case of a Governmental Authority located outside the United States, decision or decree (in all cases other than a request for information) becomes reasonably foreseeable to be made or filed and such injunction or other order, decision or decree would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements or any Closing Agreements unlawful or would prevent or prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, take promptly all commercially reasonable steps necessary to prevent, vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements or any Closing Agreements. Buyer agrees to (A) sell or otherwise dispose of, (B) hold separate and agree to sell or otherwise dispose of, or (C) enter into any other agreement or arrangement affecting such assets, categories of assets or businesses of the Business of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (and to enter into agreements with the relevant Governmental Authority giving

 

53


effect thereto) if such action should be required by any Governmental Authority in connection with permitting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any court order obtained by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority; provided that with respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C), (x) Buyer shall not be obligated to make any sale or disposition or enter into any agreement or arrangement that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operation or business of Buyer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (y) Buyer may condition its commitment to any Governmental Authority to take any such action on the Closing occurring.

(b) Each of Seller Parent and Buyer shall as promptly as practicable, but in any event by the later of (x) 10 days after the date of this Agreement and (y) January 8, 2010, (i) file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form, if any, required for the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act, (ii) make all filings under applicable Other Competition Laws, if any, required or advisable for the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (iii) make all required filings for approval of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Closing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby under applicable laws of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Russia, South Africa and Ukraine and such other jurisdictions as may be required by Law. Any such antitrust notification and report form or filing and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act or the applicable Other Competition Laws, as the case may be. All other regulatory filings shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of applicable laws. Each of Seller Parent and Buyer shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act, applicable Other Competition Laws or other applicable laws and regulations, as the case may be. Seller Parent and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information and documentary material (“Second Request”) from the FTC or the DOJ, or similar request for information from any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings and subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.4 and subject to any appropriate confidentiality protections, Seller Parent and Buyer shall each furnish to counsel for the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may request in connection with the foregoing and shall each promptly provide counsel for the other party with copies of all filings made by such party, and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Affiliates to a Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Closing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each such party shall, subject to applicable Law, permit counsel for the other party (i) to review in advance, if practicable, any proposed written or oral, communication to any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority; and (ii) to attend any telephonic or in person meeting with any Governmental Antitrust Authority or other Governmental Authority. Neither Seller Parent nor Buyer shall participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of the foregoing without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting. Seller Parent and Buyer

 

54


will use commercially reasonable efforts to consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of each party in connection with all meetings, actions and proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any Other Competition Laws or other applicable laws and regulations.

(d) The filing fees under the HSR Act, Other Competition Laws and other applicable Laws shall be borne by Buyer. The fees and disbursements of any legal counsel or other advisor retained by a Party in connection with any such filings and any other filings with Governmental Authorities shall be borne by the Party engaging such counsel or advisor except as otherwise agreed between the Parties.

(e) In the event that the Closing occurs prior to the time the matters addressed in Section 5.4 shall have been resolved (including obtaining all consents and approvals), the obligations hereunder shall continue until such resolution.

SECTION 5.5. Third Party Consents. Seller Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Consent of any Person (other than Governmental Authorities) required to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such parties in obtaining such Consents. To the extent that Seller Parent and Buyer are unable to obtain any required third party Consents prior to the Closing (such Consents, the “Post-Closing Consents”), each of Seller Parent and Buyer, respectively, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts (including the making of any filing required to obtain any Post-Closing Consents) to obtain (or cause to be obtained) as promptly as practicable all Post-Closing Consents. For purposes of this Section 5.5, the term “all commercially reasonable efforts” shall not be deemed to require any Person to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any consent or waiver may be required (other than nominal filing or application fees).

SECTION 5.6. Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer and Seller Parent agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating directly to the Sold Companies or the Acquired Assets (including information relating to the tax attributes of each of the Sold Companies, access to books and records, employees, contractors and representatives) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax Return; provided, however, that if such requested information is contained within a document containing any unrelated information, only portions pertaining to such relevant information shall be furnished. Buyer and Seller Parent shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Sold Companies and the Acquired Assets until the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer and Seller Parent, as the case may be, any extensions thereof). At the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least 30 days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the

 

55


party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records.

(b) Seller Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, in a manner consistent with past practice, all Tax Returns in respect of the Sold Companies or the Acquired Assets for all tax periods that end on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). With regard to a Pre-Closing Tax Return of a Sold Company that (1) is not part of a consolidated, unitary, combined or similar basis Tax Return that includes such Sold Company and any of the Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates other than a Sold Company (a “Stand Alone Pre-Closing Tax Return”) and (2) will be filed after the Closing Date, (i) Seller Parent shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Pre-Closing Tax Return and shall make such revisions as are reasonably requested by Buyer, (ii) Seller Parent and Buyer shall provide to each other such cooperation and information, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the filing of any such Pre-Closing Tax Returns, and (iii) Buyer shall timely file, or cause to be filed, all such Pre-Closing Tax Returns and provide final copies to Seller Parent. Seller Parent shall timely file, or cause to be filed, all other Pre-Closing Tax Returns. In the case of a Stand Alone Pre-Closing Tax Return to be filed by Seller Parent after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall provide Buyer with a copy of a substantially final draft of such Tax Return at least 10 days prior to filing. Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns in respect of the Sold Companies for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date which begins before the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), in a manner consistent with past practices. Buyer shall provide Seller Parent with a copy of a substantially final draft of each Straddle Period Tax Return prepared by Buyer (and such additional information regarding such Straddle Period Tax Return as may reasonably be requested by Seller Parent) for its review and comment at least 60 days prior to the filing of such Tax Return. Buyer shall pay the amounts shown to be due on any such Straddle Period Tax Returns. In advance of the filing of such Straddle Period Tax Returns, Seller Parent shall pay to Buyer its share of any such Taxes, with the timing of such payment and the amount of such share determined in accordance with Section 5.7(d).

(c) Except for the Sold Companies organized under the laws of the United Kingdom or Germany, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that each Sold Company that is not a United States entity shall not pay any distributions or dividends to its shareholders prior to January 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Closing occurs. The preceding sentence shall not apply to any Sold Company for which Buyer makes a valid election under Section 338(g) of the Code in accordance with the terms of Section 5.6(d) hereof.

(d) Without the prior written consent of Seller Parent (which consent may be withheld in Seller Parent’s sole discretion) Buyer shall not make any Tax election under the Code (or the Tax Laws of any other jurisdiction) with respect to the Sold Companies (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any election under Section  ###-###-####-3 of the Treasury Regulations or election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code (or any comparable state, local or foreign provision)) to the extent such election would cause the sale of the Sold Shares to be treated as an asset sale for Tax purposes, except that Buyer shall be allowed to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the sale of shares for Terex Mining Australia Pty. Ltd., O&K Australia Pty. Ltd., and O&K Orenstein & Koppel, Inc. provided that for each Sold Company for which Buyer makes such election, (i) Buyer timely notifies Seller Parent in writing of such

 

56


election and (ii) cooperates in the filings of Tax Returns reflecting such election (i.e., IRS Forms 8023 and 8883). Buyer shall not (i) amend any Pre-Closing Tax Return without Seller Parent’s written consent, or (ii) without the written consent of Seller Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld) or unless otherwise required by applicable Law as reasonably determined by Buyer in good faith (A) take any Tax position on any Tax Return (other than the United States federal consolidated tax return of which Buyer is a member) of a Sold Company that is inconsistent with elections made, positions taken or methods used in preparing the Tax Returns of such Sold Company for tax periods (including the portion of any Straddle Period) that end on or before the Closing Date, (B) compromise or settle any Tax liability of a Sold Company if such action adversely affects Seller Parent’s obligation to indemnify Buyer under Section 5.7(a), or (C) amend a Straddle Period Tax Return to the extent such action adversely affects Seller Parent’s obligation to indemnify Buyer under Section 5.7(a). Buyer shall not consent to the waiver of the statute of limitations of the Sold Companies for any period ending on or before the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which written consent will not unreasonably be withheld.

(e) If a Sold Company was treated as a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957 of the Code) prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause a Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations (including profit and loss balance sheets), to be timely and accurately filed for each such Sold Company for the Tax year in which the Buyer acquires such Sold Company. Each such Form 5471 shall be filed as a joint information return in respect of Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) and Seller Parent (or its applicable Affiliate). In connection with the filing of each such Form 5471, Seller Parent agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Buyer, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance that is reasonably required to properly complete such Form 5471. Buyer shall provide copies of the Forms 5471 to Seller Parent no later than 10 Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Forms 5471 for Seller Parent’s review and comment. In the event a Section 338(g) election is made with respect to a Sold Company pursuant to Section 5.6(d) then the parties shall mutually cooperate in the filing of any required Forms 5471.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall terminate any tax-sharing allocation, and indemnification agreements and arrangements of the Sold Companies and such agreements shall have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present or future year or period), no additional payments shall be made thereunder on or after the Closing Date with respect to any period, and the liability for any obligations or amounts payable thereunder shall be excluded from the Final Statement of Net Asset Value.

SECTION 5.7. Tax Indemnity.

(a) Seller Parent shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Sold Companies) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless against (i) all Tax liabilities of Seller Parent, the Sold Companies or their Affiliates for all taxable periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date except to the extent of the amounts reflected on the Final Statement of Net Asset Value and all Losses, claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses relating to such Tax liabilities, (ii) all Taxes that are Excluded Liabilities described in Section 2.2(c)(ix) hereof, (iii) all Tax

 

57


liabilities arising out of or due to any breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.12, treating such representation or warranty as though made on and as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, except to the extent such representation or warranty relates to a specified date (in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct only on and as of such specified date), covenant or other agreement of any Share Seller contained in this Agreement, (iv) Taxes (net of all foreign tax credits attributable thereto that are actually realized within three years of the Closing Date) imposed on subpart F income (as defined in Section 952 of the Code) or as a result of a Section 956 inclusion (as defined in Section 956 of the Code) in respect of the Sold Companies that is allocable to any taxable period (or portion thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date based on a closing of the books method as of the Closing Date (for clarification, the determination of Taxes will be calculated based on a hypothetical closing of the books method on the Closing Date, even though Law may require the calculation of such Taxes on an annual basis, thus, any dividends, distributions, or other actions of the Sold Companies after the Closing will not affect such determination), (v) any liability for Taxes imposed on any of the Sellers, their Affiliates or the Sold Companies (including, without limitation, by manner of withholding) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any Transfer Taxes required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.22(b)), any internal restructuring in anticipation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Taxes that Buyer is obligated to indemnify Seller Parent for pursuant to Section 5.7(c))or any repayment, discharge, cancellation, or extinguishment of an intercompany liability, (vi) any liability for Taxes of the Share Sellers or their Affiliates (other than any of the Sold Companies), (vii) any liability for Taxes attributable to any entity other than the Sold Companies but imposed on any of the Sold Companies pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law solely as a result of such Sold Company having been a member of Share Sellers’ Group or any Retained Affiliate Group, (viii) any Tax Equalization Clawback amount for which it is liable pursuant to Section 5.7(c), and (ix) any liability for Transfer Taxes required to be paid by Seller Parent pursuant to Section 5.22(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.7(a) to the contrary, the Tax indemnity provided under Section 5.7(a) shall not cover Tax liabilities (i) directly resulting from the operations of the Sold Companies after the Closing Date to the extent such liabilities would have been imposed in the absence of any event giving rise to an obligation of Seller Parent to indemnify Buyer under Section 5.7(a), or, (ii) resulting from a breach of any covenant or other agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement, including without limitation a breach of Sections 5.6(c) or 5.6(d) (a “Buyer Tax Act”). With respect to the transactions contemplated in Schedule 2, hereto, Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, agree that neither party is warranting to the other party any Tax consequences of the Hive-Down (as defined in Schedule 2) and neither party shall be liable to the other party for the failure of such other party to realize the anticipated Tax consequences.

(c) Buyer, jointly and severally, and the Sold Companies shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless against (i) all Tax liabilities of the Sold Companies proximately resulting from any Buyer Tax Act, (ii) all Tax liabilities with respect to any taxable period (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) that begins after the Closing Date and that are imposed on or in respect of the Sold Companies and all Losses, claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses relating to such Tax liabilities, (iii) all Tax liabilities and costs described under the “Additional German Carve-out

 

58


Indemnification” set forth in Schedule 2 (and subject to the terms set forth on such Schedule 2), and (iv) the increased Tax liability imposed as a result of a determination that the income from the sale of the Carve-out Intellectual Property (as defined in Schedule 2), is, solely as a result of such Carve-out Intellectual Property not being transferred to the German Carve-out Newco and instead being transferred directly to Buyer or its designee pursuant to Schedule 2, treated as subpart F income (as defined in Section 952 of the Code), to the extent that such subpart F income exceeds the amount of subpart F income that would have been realized upon the sale of the German Carve-out Newco in respect of such Carve-out Intellectual Property if such property had been transferred to German Carve-out Newco pursuant to the hive down; provided, however, that amounts for which Buyer is liable to indemnify Seller Parent or its Affiliates pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be reduced (and promptly refunded to Buyer) by the following: to the extent Terex European Holdings BV or any of its Subsidiaries or any non-US direct or indirect shareholder of Terex European Holding BV makes a distribution or otherwise enters into a transaction that would, in each case, have caused Seller Parent to include within three years following the Closing Date an amount equal to the excess of the United States income taxes that would have been paid by Seller Parent on such distribution had the gain realized on the sale of the Carve-out Intellectual Property not been treated as subpart F income over the United States income taxes that would have been paid by Seller Parent on such distribution had the gain realized on the sale of the Carve-out Intellectual Property been treated as subpart F income (the “Tax Equalization Clawback”).

(d) For purposes of this Section 5.7, in the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (e.g. ad valorem property and license fees) other than taxes set forth in clause (ii) below, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending as of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any non-periodic Taxes, including but not limited to any Tax based upon or related to income, gains or receipts or based upon or related to employment or sales or use, value added, and customs duty, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended as of the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. The portion of any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be determined as though the relevant taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Sold Companies. In the case of any written notice by any of Buyer or its Affiliates indicating that Taxes are due for a Straddle Period Tax Return, such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations regarding Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes, and if within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Seller Parent notifies Buyer in writing that it disagrees with the computation of their share of such Taxes, Seller Parent and Buyer shall proceed in good faith to determine Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes. If Seller Parent and Buyer cannot agree in good faith on Seller Parent’s share within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Seller Parent’s share of such Taxes shall be determined pursuant to Section 5.7(f), and Seller Parent’s payment shall be due three (3) Business Days after the amount payable is determined by agreement between Seller Parent and Buyer or pursuant to Section 5.7(f).

 

59


(e) Payment by the indemnitor of any amount due under this Section 5.7 shall be made within ten (10) Business Days following written notice by the indemnitee that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority is due, provided that the indemnitor shall not be required to make any payment earlier than 5 Business Days before it is due to the appropriate Taxing Authority. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8 below, payment of the Tax to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court; provided, however, that payment of such Tax will be considered due in all cases if the relevant Tax is required to be paid in advance of a final determination (including, without limitation, payments that are required to be made to challenge a proposed adjustment).

(f) Any disputes between the parties with respect to the Tax matters Section 5.6, Section 5.7, Section 5.8 and Section 5.9 shall be resolved by a national public accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to Seller Parent and Buyer, whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the non-prevailing party in such dispute (it being understood that for purpose of this sentence, a party shall be deemed to have prevailed in such a dispute if the amount ultimately determined pursuant to this Section 5.7(f) is within 10% of the amount claimed by such party to be the correct amount and is not within 10% of the amount claimed by the other party to be the correct amount) or, if there is no non-prevailing party, shall be borne equally by the parties in such dispute.

SECTION 5.8. Procedures Relating to Indemnity of Tax Claims.

(a) Seller Parent shall promptly notify Buyer in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending Tax audits, assessments, or administrative or court proceedings relating to the Taxes of the Sold Companies. If a claim shall be made against Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, would result in an indemnity payment to Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, or one of their Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.7(c) (a “Tax Claim”), Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Seller Parent, or Buyer, as the case may be, in writing of such Tax Claim stating the nature and basis of such Tax Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known by Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, provided, however, that the failure to provide such sufficient written notice shall not excuse the Buyer or Seller Parent from any of its obligations, except to the extent that Buyer or Seller Parent, as the case may be, is prejudiced thereby.

(b) Subject to Section 5.8(d), with respect to any audit, assessment, or administrative or court proceeding or similar proceeding (“Tax Proceeding”) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Return, Seller Parent shall control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Proceeding (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in their sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto and may, in their sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Proceeding in any permissible manner. With respect to any Tax matter covered by the preceding sentence, Seller Parent shall not, without the prior written approval of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree or consent to

 

60


compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may increase the Tax Liability of Buyer or the Sold Companies or any of their Affiliates for any Tax period beginning on or after the Closing Date (or portion thereof in the case of a Straddle Period), unless Seller Parent indemnifies Buyer for the increase in Taxes resulting from such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Buyer shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in any Tax Proceeding subject to this Section 5.8(b) to the extent that such Tax Proceeding relates to a Sold Company, the Business, or the Acquired Assets, provided, however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to participate in the portion of such Tax Proceeding that relates to a Tax Return that is not a Stand Alone Pre-Closing Tax Return or relates to items that are not in connection with the Acquired Assets.

(c) Subject to Section 5.8(d), with respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to a Straddle Period Tax Return, Buyer shall control at its expense all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) but shall not, without the prior written approval of Seller Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may increase the Taxes for which Seller Parent would be liable under Section 5.7(a), unless Buyer indemnifies the Seller Parent for the increase in Taxes resulting from such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Seller Parent shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in any Tax Proceeding subject to this Section 5.8(c), to the extent that such Tax Proceeding relates to a Sold Company, the Business, or the Acquired Assets, provided, however, that Seller Parent shall not be entitled to participate in the portion of such Tax Proceeding that relates to a Tax Return that is not a Straddle Period Tax Return.

(d) In the event of any Tax Proceeding that relates to Stand Alone Pre-Closing Tax Returns and other Tax Returns for periods commencing after the Closing Date in respect of the Sold Companies or the Acquired Assets, Buyer and Seller Parent shall attempt to mutually agree (and to the extent Buyer and Seller Parent cannot agree, the parties shall permit the relevant Taxing Authority to determine) whether one or more issues can be separated in all respects (including as to settlements) into (A) those for which Seller Parent would be liable under Section 5.7(a) and (B) those for which Buyer would be liable under Section 5.7(c) and, in such case, Seller Parent shall control the defense of those issues that fall under clause (A) of this sentence, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8(b), and Buyer shall control the defense of those issues that fall under clause (B) of this sentence, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8(c). With respect to all other issues, Buyer shall have the right to control the defense employing counsel and other advisors of its choice; provided that (i) Seller Parent shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense with respect to the issues for which Seller Parent would be liable under Section 5.7(a), (ii) Buyer will cooperate with Seller in the defense of any such issues, and (iii) Buyer shall not, without the prior written approval of Seller Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), agree or consent to compromise or settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any issue or claim arising in such proceeding, or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax Liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement may increase the Taxes for which Seller Parent

 

61


would be liable under Section 5.7(a), unless Buyer indemnifies Sellers for the increase in Taxes resulting from such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall control any Tax Proceeding to the extent it relates to an issue that is subject to indemnification by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.7(c)(iv).

SECTION 5.9. Refunds Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, or the Sold Companies, and any refunds, overpayments, or tax credits credited against Tax for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date to which Buyer or the Sold Companies become entitled, which such refunds, overpayments or tax credits credited relate to taxable periods of the Sold Companies (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller Parent and Buyer shall pay over to Seller Parent an amount of cash equal to the actual cash received or the Tax refund or overpayment actually credited in excess of what it would have received or had credited in the absence of any such refund or credit within 15 days of the receipt of such benefit. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund, credit or overpayment in connection with any audits, examinations or Tax proceedings results in a refund or credit against Tax by a Taxing Authority to Buyer or the Sold Companies of any amount accrued for any taxable periods (or portions thereof in the case of the Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date, including any Tax refund or credit allowable in connection with the Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets, Buyer shall pay an amount of cash equal to the actual cash received, or Tax refund or overpayment actually credited in excess of what it would have received in the absence of any such refund or credit within 15 days of the receipt of such benefit. Buyer agrees that it shall not, without Seller Parent’s consent, cause or permit the Sold Companies to carry back to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date any net operating loss, loss from operations or other Tax attribute, and further agrees that Seller Parent has no obligation under this Agreement to return or remit any refund or other Tax benefit attributable to a breach by Buyer of the foregoing undertaking. Any Tax refunds that are received by a Share Seller or any of the Share Seller’s Affiliates and any overpayments credited against Tax to which a Share Seller or any of the Share Seller’s Affiliates become entitled, that relate to taxable periods (or portions thereof in the case of a Straddle Period) of the Sold Companies ending after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer, and Seller Parent shall pay over to Buyer an amount of cash received or the Tax refund actually received by a Share Seller or any of the Share Seller’s Affiliates in excess of what it would have received in the absence of any such refund or credit within 15 days of the receipt of such benefit.

SECTION 5.10. Employment Matters Generally.

(a) In regard to the Closing (i) where applicable Law or rules provide for the automatic transfer or continuation of employment of the Business Employees upon the sale of the Business, (A) Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall assume and honor all terms and conditions of employment in respect of the Business Employees to the extent required by Law, (B) Buyer and Parent Seller agree to take such actions as are reasonably practicable such that the employment of the Business Employees will transfer to Buyer or its Affiliate as a matter of law as of the Closing Date, and, except as otherwise required by Law, (C) Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall employ each Business Employee at salary and wages which are reasonably comparable in aggregate value to those payable by Seller Parent or its Affiliates to such Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and, as and to the extent required by Law, shall maintain terms and conditions of employment which are of reasonably comparable aggregate

 

62


value to those provided by Seller Parent or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) where applicable Law or rules do not provide for the automatic transfer or continuation of employment of the Employees upon the sale of the Business, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment, to be effective as of the Closing Date, to such Business Employees which is of reasonably comparable aggregate value to the salary, wages and terms and conditions of employment provided by Seller Parent or its Affiliates to such Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, assume each of the collective bargaining agreements listed or described on Schedule 5.10(a).

(b) Buyer and Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all required actions necessary to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the possibility that severance benefits and/or government-required termination liabilities shall be payable to a Business Employee regardless of whether such Business Employee becomes employed by Buyer or one of its Affiliates or accepts Buyer’s or one of its Affiliates’ offer of employment; provided, however, that to the extent the payment of severance benefits and/or government-required termination liabilities to any such Business Employee is nevertheless required as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consequent transfers of employment, notwithstanding that Buyer or one of its Affiliates has employed, or made an offer of employment to, such Business Employee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such severance benefits and government-required termination liabilities shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates and hold them harmless from and against any Losses which may be incurred or suffered by any of them in connection with any claim made by a Business Employee for any reason due to a Business Employee’s termination or deemed termination of employment on or after the Closing Date for any reason.

SECTION 5.11. U.S. Employment Matters.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, offer employment, with reasonably comparable job responsibilities as those performed prior to the Closing Date, to each U.S. Business Employee (other than employees of the Sold Companies, all of whom shall continue employment with such Sold Company as of the Closing Date by operation of Law) who is either actively employed by a Seller as of the Closing Date or is absent from work as of the Closing Date by reason of any leave of absence.

(b) Such offers of employment described in Section 5.11(a) shall include an offer, for a period of not less than one year, of compensation programs that are of reasonably comparable aggregate value to those as in effect with respect to such U.S. Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date as previously disclosed. As of the Closing Date or, with respect to any U.S. Business Employee on a leave of absence, as of the date such U.S. Business Employee commences active employment with Buyer or its Affiliates or returns to active employment with a Sold Company, each U.S. Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment, each U.S. Business Employee whose employment automatically transfers to a Buyer by operation of local law, and each employee of the Sold Companies (herein, collectively referred to as “U.S. Transferred Employees”) shall become an employee of Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates (or a Sold Company, as applicable).

 

63


(c) During the one year period from and after the Closing, Buyer shall provide to the U.S. Transferred Employees overall employee benefits that are of reasonably comparable aggregate value to those provided on average to the U.S. Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date as previously disclosed; provided, however, that any specific provision regarding employee benefits set forth elsewhere in this Section 5.11 shall take precedence over the foregoing general obligation with respect to the benefits that are the subject of such specific provision.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not alter the at-will nature of any U.S. Transferred Employee’s employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, limit or interfere with the ability (after the Closing) of Buyer or its respective Affiliates to terminate, amend or replace any particular agreement, plan or program, to alter the terms and conditions of employment or to terminate the employment of any person, provided that the requirements of this Section 5.11 are otherwise satisfied.

(e) Retirement Benefits: Seller Parent shall, effective as of the Closing Date, cease all contributions in respect of each U.S. Transferred Employee in Seller Parent’s tax-qualified defined contribution plans in which such individual is then participating. Such tax-qualified Plans that are individual account plans are set forth on Schedule 3.14(c) (“Seller Parent’s Savings Programs”). As of the Closing Date, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (“Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”). As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, to the extent elected by a U.S. Transferred Employee, Seller Parent agrees to cause the Seller Parent’s Savings Programs to transfer to the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan, and Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan to accept “eligible rollover distributions within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code of U.S. Transferred Employees’ account balances (including outstanding Plan loans) under Seller Parent’s Savings Programs as of the valuation date next preceding the date of transfer. Except as otherwise required under any collective bargaining agreement, as of the Closing Date, Seller Parent will fully vest the account balances of each U.S. Transferred Employee (to the extent not then fully vested), if any, under Seller Parent’s Savings Programs.

(f) Welfare Benefits and COBRA:

(i) As of the U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall establish and designate a health and welfare plan or plans providing medical, dental, group life, travel, disability and accidental and dismemberment insurance coverages or policies for the benefit of the U.S. Transferred Employees that are of reasonably comparable aggregate value to the health and welfare plan or plans covering the U.S. Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing (the “Buyer Welfare Plans”). Buyer shall be responsible for all claims incurred by U.S. Transferred Employees and their spouses/dependents under Buyer Welfare Plans on or after the U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date, and Seller Parent shall retain responsibility for all claims incurred by U.S. Transferred Employees and their spouses/dependents prior to the U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement. Reimbursement of U.S. Transferred Employees for expenses associated with such claims shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans as in effect at the time such claims are made.

 

64


(ii) Buyer shall, or shall cause their respective Affiliates to, recognize each U.S. Transferred Employee’s service with Seller Parent, the Sold Companies or their respective Affiliates for purposes of eligibility, vesting and eligibility waiting periods in Buyer Welfare Plans. In addition, to the extent pre-existing condition limitations have been met or are otherwise inapplicable with respect to the U.S. Transferred Employees under Seller Parent’s employee benefit plans as of the U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause its respective Affiliates to, waive any such pre-existing condition under Buyer Welfare Plans applicable to the U.S. Transferred Employees, and shall recognize the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by the U.S. Transferred Employees and their respective spouses or dependents during the calendar year in which the U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date occurs for purposes of satisfying the deductibles and co-payment or out-of-pocket limitations for such calendar year under Buyer Welfare Plans.

(iii) Buyer shall assume the liability for all M &A Qualified Beneficiaries of the Sellers (as that term is defined in 26 C.F.R. Section 54.4980B-9 Q & A 4) under Seller Parent’s group health plan. On a monthly basis following the Closing, Seller Parent shall notify Buyer of any and all actual costs incurred by Seller Parent’s group health plan on account the M&A Qualified Beneficiaries referenced herein, less the aggregate premiums actually received from the M&A Qualified Beneficiaries for such coverage (the “Net COBRA Cost”). Upon receipt thereof, Buyer shall timely remit payment to Seller Parent’s group health plan in an amount equal to the Net COBRA Cost.

(g) Buyer’s workers’ compensation program shall be responsible for all claims for benefits which are incurred on or after the Closing Date by participating U.S. Transferred Employees. Seller Parent’s workers’ compensation program shall be responsible for all claims for benefits which are incurred prior to the Closing Date by participating U.S. Transferred Employees.

(h) Labor matters:

(i) Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, at any time prior to 90 days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “Plant Closing” or “Mass Layoff,” as those terms are defined in the WARN Act, affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, operating unit or employee with respect to the Business. Seller Parent agrees that between the date hereof and the Closing Date, it will cause the Sold Companies and the Asset Sellers in respect of the Business not to effect or permit a “Plant Closing” or “Mass Layoff” as these terms are defined in the WARN Act without notifying Buyer in advance and without complying with the notice requirements and all other provisions of the WARN Act.

(ii) Buyer and Seller Parent shall, and Seller Parent shall cause the other Sellers and the Sold Companies to, cooperate in connection with any required notifications as required in accordance with Section 5.15.

(i) A breach by Buyer or Seller Parent of their respective obligations under this Section 5.11 shall give rise to an obligation by the breaching party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the non-breaching party from and against any and all damages incurred thereby or caused thereto under or pursuant to the WARN Act based on, arising out of, resulting from or

 

65


relating to any act or omission to act by or of the breaching party with regard to any single site of employment, facility, operating unit or employee of the breaching party.

SECTION 5.12. Non-U.S. Employment Matters.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.10(a), Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall offer employment to or shall continue the employment of Business Employees who are employed outside of the United States (“Non-U.S. Employees”) with compensation programs of reasonably comparable aggregate value to those as in effect with respect to such Non-U.S. Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (or the same as may be required by Law) for a period of not less than one year following the Effective Time, and shall grant to Non-U.S. Employees who become Transferred Employees (“Non-U.S. Transferred Employees”) reasonably comparable in the aggregate terms and conditions of employment (or the same as may be required by Law) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for a period not less than that provided for by local country Law. In addition, for a period of not less than one year following the Effective Time, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall maintain employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements for Non-U.S. Transferred Employees (other than the features of any plans or arrangements based on employer equity securities) that, with respect to those set forth on Schedule 5.12(a) that Seller Parent and its Affiliates have in effect at the Effective Time for Non-U.S. Employees, are of reasonably comparable aggregate value; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to require Buyer to provide terms and conditions of employment after the Effective Time that would conflict or otherwise be inconsistent with the requirements of local country Law.

(b) Non-U.S. Employee Benefit Plans:

(i) Effective as of the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in the Transition Agreement, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall establish and qualify or register with applicable regulatory authorities employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements for, or shall extend or transfer existing employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements of Buyer to, the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees which are in accordance with local Law and which provide benefits to such Employees on terms and conditions consistent with Section 5.10 and Section 5.11 hereof.

(ii) Effective as of the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in the Transition Agreement, Non-U.S. Transferred Employees shall cease to be active participants in any Benefit Plans of Seller Parent or its Affiliates and all such persons shall become eligible to participate in such Benefit Plans to be established by Buyer or one of its Affiliates in connection with Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

(iii) Effective as of the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in the Transition Agreement, all liabilities in connection with Non-U.S. Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under any of Seller Parent’s or its Affiliates’ Benefit Plans covering such Non-U.S. Transferred Employees and all security means and pension assets attributable to the liabilities shall be transferred to Buyer.

 

66


(iv) Effective as of the Effective Time, should local law require that Buyer or one of its Affiliates having become the sponsor and participant to a Benefits Plan are required to cease participation in that plan, then Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall take receipt of all of the assets and liabilities attributable under local Law to its sponsorship of that Benefits Plan and transfer these to another suitable Benefits Plan of Buyer or its Affiliates. All Non-U.S. Transferred Employees affected by such transfers of assets and liabilities will have all their benefits secured with Buyer or an Affiliate’s Benefit Plan and such persons shall be eligible to participate in that same Benefits Plan in connection with Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

(v) Effective as of the Effective Time, Buyer or its Affiliates shall become liable for any and all unfunded liabilities of Non-U.S. Benefit Plans, including those arising from the operation of the U.K. Pensions Act 1995, including any and all liabilities related to Section 75 or Section 75A thereof or any regulations made under either section and/or any re-enactment or replacement thereof, and the German Act on Company Pensions (Gesetz zur verbesserung der betrieblichen Altersversorgung, BetrAVG), which relate to the sponsorship or participation of Buyer or its Affiliates in any Benefits Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer or its Affiliates shall assume liability for any and all unfunded liabilities associated with the Terex Pension Scheme – Halco Section (UK) (not the remainder of the Terex Pension Scheme unrelated to Halco) and the Terex O&K GmbH Pension Scheme, relating to all participants covered by such plans, including deferred vested members and retirees.

(c) Employment Liabilities:

(i) Buyer shall be responsible for all claims incurred by Non-U.S. Transferred Employees and their eligible spouses/dependents under health and welfare plans covering Non-U.S. Transferred Employees on or after the Applicable Non-U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date, and Seller Parent shall retain responsibility for all claims incurred by Non-U.S. Transferred Employees and their eligible spouses/dependents prior to the Applicable Non-U.S. Transferred Employees Transition Date pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement. Reimbursement of Non-U.S. Transferred Employees for expenses associated with such claims shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans in effect at the time such claims are made.

(ii) Buyer shall be responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee after the Effective Time. Seller Parent shall be responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee prior to the Effective Time.

SECTION 5.13. Vacation. With respect to all Transferred Employees, Buyer will recognize all accrued and unused vacation days which are reflected and have been accrued as “accrued expenses” in the Closing Statements, and will allow the Transferred Employees to take such accrued vacation days which have accrued to such Transferred Employee following the Closing Date in accordance with the policies of the Business, as in effect from time to time following the Closing Date subject always to applicable Law.

SECTION 5.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No agreement between the parties hereto nor any action by Seller Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates shall be deemed to create any

 

67


third party beneficiary rights in any employees of Seller Parent, Buyer, or any Affiliate of either, and no Person other than the parties hereto shall have any rights to enforce any provision hereof.

SECTION 5.15. Employee Notifications. Where required under applicable Law, Buyer and Seller Parent shall, and Seller Parent shall cause the other Sellers or the Sold Companies prior to the Closing Date (or the date of a deferred closing, as contemplated by Section 2.10), to, properly and timely notify, or where appropriate, consult or negotiate with, employees, employee representatives, the local works council, union, labor board or any relevant governmental agency concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event any payment is required in lieu of such notice, Seller Parent shall bear such expense.

SECTION 5.16. Contact with Customers and Suppliers. During the Pre-Closing Period, Buyer and Seller Parent shall cooperate in communicating with the Sold Companies’ and Asset Sellers’ customers, suppliers, dealers and licensors concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, including Buyer’s intentions concerning the operation of the Business following the Closing. During the Pre-Closing Period, Buyer and its representatives shall contact or communicate with the customers, suppliers, dealers and licensors of the Business in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby only with the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld and may be conditioned upon a designee of Seller Parent being present at any such meeting or conference. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.16 shall prohibit Buyer from contacting the customers, suppliers, dealers and licensors of the Business in the ordinary course of Buyer’s businesses for the purpose of selling products of Buyer’s businesses or for any other purpose unrelated to the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 5.17. Use of Trademarks.

(a) Buyer shall have the right to use, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, the “Terex” name and logo. Without limiting the prior sentence, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Sold Companies to, take reasonable measures to transition away from using the “Terex” name and logo as soon after Closing as practicable. No other use of the Sellers’ or any of their Affiliates’ (except for the Sold Companies) trademarks, service marks, trade names and domain names is permitted. All rights under the first sentence of this Section 5.17 shall terminate six (6) months after the Closing Date. Buyer shall cause each Sold Company, or division of the Business, that has the name “Terex” or any confusingly similar name thereof, in its corporate or trade name to take all necessary action, including the filing of any documents required to be filed with any governmental authority, to effect (within six (6) months of the Closing Date) a change of its corporate or trade name, as the case may be, not to include the name “Terex”, or the equivalent or corresponding trademark or name in a foreign jurisdiction (e.g. Terex’s Chinese character trademark or name), or words confusingly similar to thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, grants to Buyer and its Affiliates, a non-assignable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license (i) to use the “Terex” name and logo in an incidental manner on any equipment or fixtures with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Business, which items are not readily removable or the “Terex” name and logo are not readily removable from such items, until such items are refurbished or replaced in the Ordinary Course

 

68


of Business; (ii) to use tools, dies, printing plates, and molds acquired by Buyer (or its Affiliates) hereunder which, as of Closing, cause any of the “Terex” name and logo to be cast, struck or molded into, or printed upon, products currently being produced by or for the Business until such tools, dies, printing plates, and molds are refurbished in the Ordinary Course of Business and (iii) to sell products manufactured with the use of such tools, dies, printing plates, and molds until such products have been sold in the Ordinary Course of Business (including all Inventory existing as of the Closing Date or created within six (6) months thereafter, following which Buyer may use such plates and molds but shall not actively use Seller Parent’s trademarks). Buyer and its Affiliates shall in any event phase out such use of the “Terex” name and logo from such equipment, fixtures, tools, dies, printing plates, and molds as soon as is reasonably practicable but in no event later than two (2) years following the Closing, and, subject to the foregoing, shall remove the cast for the “Terex” name and logo from each such tool, die or mold on the first occasion after the Closing Date when such tool, die or mold is refurbished by Buyer or its Affiliates in the Ordinary Course of Business. For the avoidance of doubt, any such tools, dies, printing plates, and molds acquired by Buyer (or its Affiliates) hereunder that cause any of the “Terex” name and logo to be cast, struck or molded into, or printed upon, products may be used for any purpose, provided that the cast for the “Terex” name and logo is removed or otherwise permanently deleted from it. Buyer agrees that products of the Business manufactured following the Closing Date bearing the “Terex” name and logo will be consistent with past practice and of a standard of quality equivalent in all material respects to the standard of quality for such products existing prior to the Closing Date. Buyer further agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, use the “Terex” name and logo in its sales, marketing or other promotional materials after six (6) months after the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.18. Credit and Performance Support Obligations. Seller Parent agrees to take any and all actions reasonably necessary to transfer and assign to Buyer any guaranties, bank guarantees, letters of credit, performance bonds, advance payment bonds, bid bonds or warranty bonds and other similar items (“Credit Support Agreements”) issued and outstanding in connection with or for the benefit of the Business of the Sold Companies or in respect of the Acquired Assets that are assignable or transferable. Buyer agrees to take any and all actions reasonably necessary (and Seller Parent and its Affiliates will cooperate with Buyer) to cause Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) to be absolutely and unconditionally relieved on or prior to the Closing Date of all Liabilities arising out of any Credit Support Agreements, including by causing Buyer or its Affiliate to be substituted in all respects for Seller Parent and its Affiliates in respect of such liabilities and obligations, in each case to the extent such relief and/or substitution is permitted under the Credit Support Agreements, and Buyer shall indemnify Seller Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) against any Losses of any kind whatsoever with respect to such liabilities and obligations. To the extent that Seller Parent and its Affiliates are not absolutely and unconditionally relieved of all such liabilities and obligations on or prior to the Closing Date, (i) Buyer agrees to continue to take any and all actions reasonably necessary to absolutely and unconditionally relieve Seller Parent and its Affiliates of all such Liabilities as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, (ii) indemnify Seller Parent and Affiliates (other than the Sold Companies) in form and substance as reasonably acceptable to Seller Parent with respect to any such Liabilities under the Credit Support Agreements and (iii) cause a letter of credit to be issued, in form and substance and from a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Seller Parent, naming Seller Parent and its Affiliates as beneficiaries, as security for any Liabilities under the Credit Support Agreement,

 

69


provided, however, Buyer shall not be required to arrange for such letter of credit in support of any indemnity of an unsecured Seller Parent guarantee where failure to have such letter of credit would not affect Seller Parent’s liquidity under its credit facility or other similar arrangement, until such time as Seller Parent have been relieved of any such Liabilities. Any costs associated with any termination of the Credit Support Agreements shall be borne by Seller Parent and any costs associated with the implementation of new or substituted arrangements of Buyer shall be borne by Buyer.

SECTION 5.19. Directors and Officers; Organizational Documents.

(a) Each Share Seller, at the request of Buyer, shall use reasonable efforts to cause each of the directors and officers (other than any Transferred Employees) of each Sold Company to resign or be removed from all director and officer positions with the Sold Companies effective at the Closing and shall request that, to the extent permitted by Law, such resignation include a release by such director or officer of any and all rights and claims (other than any claims that are Assumed Liabilities) against such Sold Companies to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 9.6. Notice and Opportunity to Defend. (a) If there occurs an event which a party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, the party or parties seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party or

 

80


parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly, provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not excuse the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

(b) If any third party notifies any party hereto with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement against the other party hereto, then the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing promptly, but in no event later than 30 days following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such notice, stating the nature and basis of any claim made by the third party; provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Within 30 days after receiving such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and expense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such third party claim or liability, the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense (it being agreed that counsel for an Indemnifying Party’s insurer shall be deemed consented to by the Indemnified Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not (x) consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to any matter or (y) enter into any settlement which, in either case, does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a third party claim or liability at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if (i) the named parties to an action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnified Party is advised in writing by its outside counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in such event, the Indemnified Party may engage separate counsel (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) for such action or proceeding at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend against a third party claim, (ii) fails to timely notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will defend against a third party claim or (iii) fails to commence, or if commenced, fails to prosecute, a diligent defense of a third party claim, then in either of such event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party, to undertake the defense of such claim (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), and to compromise or settle such claim, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If a third party claim or liability is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall make available such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 9.7. Payments. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article IX, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following

 

81


receipt from an Indemnified Party of a bill, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed back-up documentation reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, for a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder no later than three (3) Business Days following any final determination of such Loss and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and nonappealable order or judgment, or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final nonappealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto.

SECTION 9.8. Tax Indemnity. Other than as specifically set forth in Section 9.9, indemnification with respect to Taxes shall be governed by Section 5.6, Section 5.7, Section 5.8 and Section 5.9. Seller Parent and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Article V or Article IX hereof as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

SECTION 9.9. Other Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Buyer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under Article V or IX for any Losses to the extent that such Losses are reflected as a liability of the Business on the Final Statement of Net Asset Value.

(b) There have been included in the Schedules and may be included elsewhere in this Agreement items which are not “material” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence for informational purposes and in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion shall not be deemed to be an agreement by the Sellers that such items are “material” or to further define the meaning of such term for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.6. Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any Buyer or any Seller (including by operation of law in connection with a merger or consolidation of any Buyer or any Seller) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

Seller Parent hereby consents to the collateral assignment of any claims of any Buyer under this Agreement to any banks or other lenders under such Buyer’s senior secured credit agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows.

AGREEMENT

1. Service Provider’s Obligations.

1.1 Services Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the applicable term set forth in the applicable Service Schedule, a Service Provider will provide the Services to the Service Recipient. The Services shall be of a scope and delivered in a manner substantially consistent with past practice of the Service Provider on an internal or, where applicable, intra-company basis. Without limitation, the Services listed on a Service Schedule include the specific activities, tasks, and responsibilities that have been provided by that party internally on a customary and regular basis prior to the Closing Date for the proper performance of the Services, even if not specified on a Service Schedule. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Seller Services set forth on Schedule 1 are subject to any changes that Seller Parent may make to its Benefit Plans after the date of the Purchase Agreement to the extent such changes (i) apply to plan participants who are Transferred Employees (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)


and (ii) have been adopted by Seller Parent and its Affiliates in compliance with the Purchase Agreement.

1.2 Service Provider Responsibility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Services shall be performed, and all information shall be delivered, in good faith and in accordance with any specifications or requirements set forth in the applicable Service Schedule. If there is an unavoidable conflict between the immediate needs of the parties as to the use of or access to a particular Service to be provided by the Service Provider, the Service Provider shall have the right to establish reasonable priorities, at particular times and under particular circumstances. In any such situation, the Service Provider shall provide notice to Service Recipient of the establishment of such priorities at the earliest practicable time.

1.3 Subcontracting. The Service Recipient understands that before and after the Closing Date, the Service Provider may have contracted, and may in the future contract, with third parties to provide services in connection with all or any portion of the Services to be provided under this Agreement. Upon notice to the Service Recipient, the Service Provider may contract with third parties to provide the Services or to enter into new arrangements for any of the Services; provided, the Services provided by third parties shall at least be at the same level of Services as those provided (or to be provided) to all other participants in the applicable plan; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary (i) third parties must be bound by confidentiality terms with respect to the Service Recipient’s confidential and nonpublic information that are no less restrictive than Section 5.1, (ii) the Service Provider shall remain fully responsible for the performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement and (iii) the Service Provider shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the third party service provider to enter into a direct contractual relationship with the Service Recipient for the provision of the relevant Services, on such terms and conditions as reasonably agreed upon by the Service Recipient, in which case Service Provider shall no longer be obligated to deliver such services under the Agreement.

1.4 Certain Limitations. Unless expressly provided herein and/or in any Service Schedule: (i) the Seller Services shall be available only for the purposes of conducting the Business substantially in the manner in which it has been conducted prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) the Buyer Services shall be available only to the extent necessary to sustain the businesses and operations of Seller Parent not included in the Business. The Service Provider is not required to hire any additional employees or maintain the employment of any specific employee, modify any existing systems, equipment or software or acquire additional systems, equipment or software. The Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure consents from insurance providers to provide benefits to the Transferred Employees and the Non-US Transferred Employees during the applicable period set forth on Schedule 1.

1.5 Compliance with Laws. The Service Provider shall provide the Services in accordance in all material respects with all applicable Laws. The Service Provider shall not be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any Service if the provision of

 

2


such Service would require it or any of its employees, agents or representatives to violate any applicable Law.

1.6 Service Data. The Service Recipient is responsible, from and after the date of this Agreement, for (i) the accuracy and completeness of all data submitted by the Service Recipient to the Service Provider for processing or transmission in connection with the Services, and (ii) any errors in and with respect to data or information obtained from the Service Provider to the extent caused by inaccurate or incomplete data submitted by the Service Recipient.

1.7 Additional Services. Should a Party, in its reasonable judgment, after the Closing Date identify a particular transitional service that had been provided prior to the Closing Date and that should be provided under this Agreement, then that Party may, at any time after the Closing Date until the end of day on                  —, 2010 [3 months after Closing], request that such transitional service be provided under this Agreement. Following that request, the Service Provider shall negotiate in good faith with the Service Recipient with respect to any such requested additional services (each such mutually agreed additional service, a “Subsequently Identified Additional Service”). The parties shall amend the existing Service Schedules for any such requested additional services that Service Recipient and Service Provider mutually agree to add to the Service Schedule.

1.8 Treatment of Employees. All employees and representatives of a Service Provider are considered, for purposes of all compensation and employee benefits matters to be employees or representatives of that Service Provider, as applicable, and not employees or representatives of the Service Recipient.

1.9 Mandatory Changes. If a change in the Services is required by applicable Law, then the Service Recipient may, by written notice, require the Service Provider to commence to provide such change in the Services to the extent required by applicable Law. The Service Recipient shall pay the Service Provider for the Services performed as changed or as ultimately agreed to in writing by the Parties.

1.10 Audit Rights. Each Party shall cooperate with the other in connection with any financial audits the Service Recipient may conduct, including by providing access for the Service Recipient, its auditors, and designees to the Service Provider and its Affiliates computer systems and records.

2. Service Recipient’s Obligations.

2.2 Cooperation. In order to enable the Service Provider to provide the Services, the Service Recipient will provide the Service Provider with cooperation and assistance as the Service Provider reasonably requests as required to facilitate provision of the Services.

2.3 Non-Exclusive. Nothing in this Agreement will preclude a Party from obtaining from its own employees or from providers other than the other Party, in whole or in part, services of any nature.

3. Coordination and Communication. The Service Recipient and the Service Provider will each appoint a single service manager who will serve as the primary point of contact for the other Party for matters related to this Agreement, including handling of requests for changes in the Services (the “Service Manager”). Each Party shall also appoint one senior executive to serve as the primary contact for discussing material issues and handling escalations (“Executive”). A Party may replace its Services Manager or Executive with an individual of comparable qualifications and experience by notifying the other of such new appointment. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to minimize changes to who is serving as its Service Manager or Executive, as applicable.

4. Compensation.

4.1 Compensation of Service Provider. As compensation for the Services provided under the terms of this Agreement, each Party, as the Service Recipient, shall pay the Service Provider a fee equal to the fees set forth on the applicable Schedule (which the Parties agree is intended to represent Costs) and if not set forth in such Schedule, in the amount of Service Provider’s Costs.

4.2 Invoice. Services shall be invoiced by the Service Provider on a monthly basis. On or prior to the 15th day of each month, the Service Provider shall provide the Service Recipient with an invoice setting forth the estimated Costs that the Service Provider has incurred for the prior month. Any differences between the invoiced estimated Costs and the actual Costs incurred by the Service Provider shall be reflected in the invoice of the following month.

4.3 Disputes. The Service Recipient shall be entitled to dispute, in good faith and in writing, any invoice, including any estimated Costs included in such invoice and provide reasonable detail for the basis of disputing any such amount. The Service Provider’s Service Manager shall, within 5 business days following the receipt of such dispute in writing, discuss such disputes with the Service Manager of the Service Recipient.

4.4 Payment. Service Recipient shall pay the fees then payable under this Section 4 within 10 business days following the date of the receipt of each invoice, except for the portions of any invoices that are disputed in good faith by the Service Recipient pursuant to Section 4.3 may be withheld pending resolution of such dispute; provided that the Service Recipient shall be diligently pursuing resolution of the dispute. To the extent any such dispute is determined in favor of a Service Provider, Service

 

4


Recipient shall pay to such Service Provider promptly (and in any event within 3 days of such determination) the disputed amount together with interest thereon from the date of such invoice through the date of payment at a rate of 1% per month. Payment shall be made by Service Recipient in the form of a bank draft, wire transfer or other form of payment as may be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties.

4.5 Currency. All prices will be calculated and paid in local currencies or any other currency agreed to from time to time by the Parties.

4.6 Taxes. The fees and charges of Service Provider under this Agreement do not include any taxes, including, without limitation, any VAT or sales taxes (“Taxes”). Service Recipient is responsible for payment of all Taxes, other than Taxes based on Service Provider’s net income.

4.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in the performance of this Agreement (it being understood that expenses shall not include expenses for the provision of services that are payable under this Agreement).

5. Confidentiality.

5.1 Confidentiality Obligations. During the term of this Agreement, a Party (“Recipient”) may be provided with, have access to, or otherwise learn confidential and/or proprietary information of another Party (“Discloser”) (including, with respect to Discloser, certain information and materials concerning Discloser’s business, plans, customers, technology, and products) that is of substantial value to Discloser, which is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or which should reasonably be considered, under the circumstances of its disclosure, to be confidential to Discloser (“Confidential Information”). All Confidential Information remains the property of Discloser. Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information of Discloser only to Recipient’s employees and contractors who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of performing under this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations that are at least as protective as this Section 5. Recipient will not use the Confidential Information without Discloser’s prior written consent except in performance under this Agreement. Recipient shall take measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information equivalent to those measures Recipient uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like importance but in no event less than reasonable measures. Recipient shall give prompt notice to Discloser of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information that comes to the attention of the Recipient and agrees to assist Discloser in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Recipient shall return to Discloser all tangible copies of Confidential Information of Discloser in Recipient’s possession or control and shall erase from their computer systems all electronic copies thereof.

5.2 Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations do not extend to Confidential Information which (i) becomes part of the public domain without the fault of Recipient;

 

5


(ii) is rightfully obtained by Recipient from a third party who Recipient reasonably believes has the right to transfer such information without obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to or use of Discloser’s Confidential Information; or (iv) was lawfully in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure, without restriction on disclosure. In addition, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of Discloser as may be required by law, a court order, or a governmental agency with jurisdiction, on condition that before making that disclosure Recipient first notifies Discloser to give Discloser an opportunity to seek confidential treatment or seek a protective order or otherwise limit the disclosure, and cooperates with Discloser if Discloser as reasonably requested. If any portion of the Confidential Information falls within any of the above exceptions, the exception will apply only to that specific portion and the remainder of Discloser’s Confidential Information will continue to be subject to the confidentiality requirements of this Agreement.

5.3 Access to Computer Systems. If a Party is given access to any equipment, computer, software, network, electronic files, or electronic data storage system owned or controlled by the other Party, such accessing Party will limit such access and use solely to provide or receive Services under this Agreement and shall not access or attempt to access any equipment, computer, software, network, electronic files, or electronic data storage system, other than those specifically required to provide or receive the Services. Each Party will limit its access to those employees with a requirement to have that access in connection with this Agreement, will advise the other Party in writing of the name of each person who will be granted access if requested to do so, and will strictly follow all security rules and procedures for use of electronic resources. All user identification numbers and passwords disclosed to a Party and any Confidential Information obtained by a Party as a result of their access to and use of any equipment, computers, software, networks, clean-rooms electronic files, and electronic data storage systems owned or controlled by the other Party, is deemed to be, and will be treated as, Confidential Information under applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree to cooperate in the investigation of any apparent unauthorized access to any equipment, computer, software, network, clean-room, electronic file, or electronic data storage systems owned or controlled by the other Party, or any apparent unauthorized release of Confidential Information.

5.4 Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a Party would suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy if there were a breach by the other Party of its obligations under this Section 5. The Parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that equitable relief, including injunctive relief, is appropriate to protect a Party’s rights and interests if a breach were to arise, be threatened, or be asserted, and such Party is entitled to the entry of an order for immediate injunctive relief.

6. Limitations of Liability.

6.1 Consequential Damages Waiver. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,

 

6


SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

6.2 Limitation of Liability. Each Party’s liability under this Agreement (for its own conduct and the conduct of its Subsidiary(ies) in performing the Services) shall be limited to willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Party and its Subsidiaries.

6.3 Basis of the Bargain. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MUTUAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6 REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT NO PARTY WOULD ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.

7. Disclaimer. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR A SERVICE SCHEDULE, THE SERVICES, AND ALL OTHER FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, AND SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND THE SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

8. Term and Termination.

(a) The term of this Agreement begins on the Closing Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided herein, will continue until the termination or expiration of each of the Service-specific terms set forth in the Service Schedules.

(b) The provision of the Services hereunder may be extended to the extent mutually agreed in writing between the Parties.

(c) Each party acknowledges that the purpose of this Agreement is for Service Providers to provide the Services on an interim basis until Service Recipients can perform the Services themselves.

8.2 Termination. A Party may terminate this Agreement or any one or more of the Service Schedules immediately, upon written notice, a copy of which shall also be provided to the appropriate Executives, as follows: (i) if the other Party materially

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

3.1 Ownership.

(a) Terex and its Subsidiaries are the sole owners of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property. Bucyrus acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall give Bucyrus any right, title or interest in or to the Licensed Intellectual Property, other than the rights and licenses granted herein. All right, title and interest in and to any and all modifications, enhancements, derivative works or other derivations of any Licensed Intellectual Property created or developed by or on behalf of Bucyrus shall, as between the parties, belong exclusively to Bucyrus, and Terex hereby assigns, and if necessary agrees to assign, to Bucyrus any and all right that Terex may have therein.

(b) Terex and its Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to Bucyrus all documents which are necessary or useful to: (A) implement Bucyrus’ rights pursuant to this Agreement; (B) protect and enforce Bucyrus’ rights in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property; or (C) record this Agreement or to record Bucyrus or any of its affiliates as registered user(s) of the Licensed Intellectual Property, as appropriate, and shall reasonably cooperate in executing and promptly delivering such documents to Bucyrus.

3.2 Prosecution and Defense of Infringement Claims.

(a) Each of Terex or Bucyrus shall promptly give the other party notice of any suspected infringement in the Field of Use in the Territory of any Licensed Intellectual Property that comes to such party’s attention. Terex and Bucyrus will thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action, including, without limitation, the commencement of legal action by Terex or Bucyrus. However, Terex shall have the first right to initiate and prosecute any such legal action at its own expense and in the name of Terex or to control the defense of any declaratory judgment action relating to Licensed Intellectual Property. Terex shall promptly inform Bucyrus if Terex elects not to exercise such right, in which case Bucyrus shall thereafter have the right either to initiate and prosecute such action or to control the defense of such declaratory judgment action in the name of Bucyrus and, if necessary, Terex. If Terex elects not to initiate and prosecute any such infringement or defend a declaratory judgment action in any country in the Territory and Bucyrus elects to do so, the cost of any agreed-upon course of action, including the costs of any legal action commenced or any declaratory judgment action defended, shall be borne solely by Bucyrus. If Terex elects to initiate and prosecute any such infringement or to defend any such declaratory judgment action, then it shall keep Bucyrus reasonably apprised of the status of such action on an ongoing basis.

(b) If either Terex or Bucyrus elects to institute a legal proceeding to enforce the Licensed Intellectual Property against an alleged infringing party, the other party shall fully cooperate with and supply all assistance reasonably requested by the party


instituting such proceeding at the expense of the party instituting such proceeding. Any recovery or award obtained by either Terex or Bucyrus as a result of any such action or settlement shall be shared as follows:

 

  (i) if Bucyrus initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the full amount of any recovery shall be retained by Bucyrus;

 

  (ii) if Terex initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the full amount of any recovery shall be retained by Terex; and

 

  (iii) if Bucyrus and Terex jointly initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action, the full amount of any recovery shall be split equally between Bucyrus and Terex.

(c) For any such legal action or defense, in the event that either Terex or Bucyrus is unable to initiate, prosecute, or defend such action solely in its own name, the other party shall join such action voluntarily and will execute all documents reasonably necessary for the party to prosecute, defend and maintain such action. In connection with any such action, Terex and Bucyrus will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either may reasonably request. Any recovery or award obtained by either Terex or Bucyrus as a result of any such action or settlement shall be shared as follows:

 

  (i) the party that initiated and prosecuted, or maintained the defense of, the action shall recoup all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action, whether the recovery is made by settlement or otherwise; and

 

  (ii) the other party then shall, to the extent the remaining amount of the recovery is sufficient, recover its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the action;
