1. Commitments.
In connection with the foregoing, CS is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide the entire principal amount of the Facilities, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this commitment letter (including the Term Sheets and other attachments hereto, this “Commitment Letter”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if CS’ commitment to provide the Bridge Facility terminates in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing Date (as further provided in Bridge Facility Term Sheet), the term “Facilities” as used in this Commitment Letter will be deemed not to include the Bridge Facility from and after the date of such termination.
2. Titles and Roles.
You hereby appoint (a) CS Securities to act, and CS Securities hereby agrees to act, as lead bookrunner and lead arranger for the Facilities, (b) CS to act, and CS hereby agrees to act, as sole and exclusive administrative agent and sole and exclusive

3
collateral agent for the Senior Facilities and (c) CS to act, and CS hereby agrees to act, as sole and exclusive administrative agent for the Bridge Facility, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. Each of CS and CS Securities, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. You agree that Credit Suisse will have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities. You further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree; provided that prior to the date that is 10 business days after the date hereof, you may appoint up to four additional joint bookrunners and/or arrangers and an unlimited number of additional co-managers for the Facilities (each, an “Additional Commitment Party”) and award such Additional Commitment Parties titles in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with CS Securities (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint Additional Commitment Parties or confer other titles in respect of the Facilities, each such Additional Commitment Party or affiliates thereof shall commit to providing a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of each Facility on a pro rata basis in accordance with the economics and fees awarded to such Additional Commitment Party (except as otherwise agreed by you and CS Securities), and the commitments of CS in respect of each of the Facilities will be reduced by the amount of the commitments of such Additional Commitment Parties (or their relevant affiliates), upon the execution by such Additional Commitment Party (and any relevant affiliate) of customary joinder documentation; provided further that in no event shall (i) Credit Suisse receive less than 35% of the economics in respect of each of the Facilities or (ii) any Additional Commitment Party (or any relevant affiliate) have economics in respect of any Facility greater than the economics held by Credit Suisse in respect of such Facility.
3. Syndication.
We intend to syndicate the Facilities (including a portion of our commitments thereunder with respect to the Facilities) to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (together with CS, the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with you; provided that, notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, without your prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), we will not assign all or any portion of our commitments hereunder prior to the date of the initial funding of the Senior Facilities (the “Closing Date”), except to any of our affiliates in accordance with Section 9 of this Commitment Letter or to Additional Commitment Parties in accordance with Section 2 of this Commitment Letter.
Notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Facilities as provided herein and receive commitments with respect thereto, (a) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of your commitment in respect of the Facilities until after the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date (other than with respect to the Additional Commitment Parties as provided for in
4
Section 2) and (b) unless you otherwise agree in writing, we shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to our commitments and other obligations hereunder, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments of this Commitment Letter and of the Fee Letters, until the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.
Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth below, it is understood that our commitments hereunder are not subject to syndication of the Facilities. We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter. Until the earlier of 60 days following the Closing Date and the completion of a Successful Syndication (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree actively to assist us in completing a syndication satisfactory to us. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Companies, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of the Companies and the proposed Lenders, (c) assistance by the Companies in the preparation of a Confidential Information Memorandum for each of the Facilities and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication (collectively, the “Information Materials”), (d) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the launch of the general syndication, a public corporate rating (but no specific rating) for Konecranes from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a part of McGraw Hill Financial (“S&P”) and a public corporate family rating (but no specific rating) for Konecranes from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) (and public ratings (but no specific rating) for the Facilities (and, upon our reasonable request, any Notes) from each of S&P and Moody’s), (e) the hosting, with us, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders and (f) your ensuring that from the date hereof until the Syndication Date there shall be no competing issues of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities of Terex, Konecranes or their respective subsidiaries (other than (i) indebtedness incurred pursuant to the commitments in effect on the date hereof under the Existing Credit Agreements, (ii) any commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business, (iii) capital leases or other debt issued or incurred to finance the acquisition of fixed or capital assets, (iv) ordinary course factoring, trade receivables and similar programs, (v) customary receivables transactions entered into by you and your respective subsidiaries and (vi) any other financing agreed to by us) being offered, placed or arranged if the offering, placement or arrangement thereof could reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities or the placement of any Notes. You agree, at the request of CS Securities, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Information Materials that consists exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not material with respect to Terex, Konecranes or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to CS Securities (i) a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of the
5
Information Materials to Lenders’ employees willing to receive Private Lender Information and (ii) a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of Information Materials consisting solely of Public Lender Information and represent that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information, which letter shall in each case include a customary representation as to the accuracy of information. You further agree that each document to be disseminated by CS Securities to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will, at the request of CS Securities, be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information. You acknowledge that the following documents contain solely Public Lender Information (unless you notify us promptly that any such document contains Private Lender Information): (a) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities, including term sheets; (b) administrative materials prepared by us for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda); and (c) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.
We will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist us in our syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to us all reasonable and customary information with respect to the Companies and their respective subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all reasonable and customary financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as we may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities (it being understood and agreed that the Projections shall include projections of the Companies and their respective subsidiaries for the years 2015 through 2020).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, but without limiting the conditions precedent in Section 6 hereof or Exhibit D hereto, and without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication in this Section 3, compliance with any of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.
4. Information.
Each of you (as to itself) hereby represents and covenants that (a) all written information other than the Projections, forward-looking information and other information of a general economic or industry-specific nature (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives, taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the
6
circumstances under which such statements are made when taken as a whole (giving effect to supplements thereto from time to time), and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to Credit Suisse (it being understood that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, the Projections, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be achieved and actual results may differ from the Projections and such differences may be material). You agree that if any time prior to the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the Syndication Date any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
5. Fees.
As consideration for our commitments hereunder and agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to us the nonrefundable fees set forth in this Commitment Letter, in the fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Fee Letter”) and in the administrative agent fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Administrative Agent Fee Letter” and, together with the Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters”).
6. Conditions Precedent.
Our commitments hereunder and our agreements to perform the services described herein are subject only to the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 6 and Exhibit D hereto, it being understood and agreed that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder with respect to the Facilities other than those expressly stated or referred to in this Section 6 and Exhibit D hereto.
Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the definitive documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Acquisition to the contrary, (i) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations made by Konecranes and its subsidiaries in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that Terex has the right to terminate your obligations (or otherwise decline to consummate the Acquisition) under the Merger Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (determined without regard to whether any
7
notice is required to be delivered by Terex) (the “Merger Agreement Representations”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the definitive documentation for the Facilities shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 6 and in Exhibit D hereto are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent any Collateral (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests in the capital stock of subsidiaries (pledged under the New York law governed Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) held by the Loan Parties (to the extent required under the Term Sheets) and other assets pursuant to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) is not provided on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the delivery of such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date but shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements and timing to be mutually agreed). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties relating to the Loan Parties set forth in the Term Sheets relating to corporate existence, power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery, in each case as they relate to the entering into and performance of the definitive documentation for the Facilities, the enforceability of such documentation, Federal Reserve margin regulations, the Investment Company Act, OFAC and other laws applicable to sanctioned persons, the PATRIOT Act and other anti-money laundering laws, the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws, no conflicts between the definitive documentation for the Facilities and the organization documents of the Loan Parties, the Merger Agreement or material debt agreements of the Loan Parties or applicable law, status of the Facilities as senior debt, solvency of Konecranes and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions (with solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with the solvency definition set forth in Annex I to Exhibit D) and, subject to the limitations set forth in the prior sentence, creation, validity, perfection and priority of security interests. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provisions”.
7. Indemnification; Expenses.
You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless Credit Suisse and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, members, partners and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of or in any way connected with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Transactions, the Facilities or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by you or any of your affiliates or equityholders), and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal or other out‑of‑pocket expenses (which shall be limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably
8
necessary, one special counsel)) incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, (b) to reimburse Credit Suisse from time to time, upon presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to expenses of our due diligence investigation, consultants’ and other professionals’ fees, syndication expenses, travel expenses and fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel), in each case, incurred in connection with the Facilities and the preparation and negotiation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the definitive documentation for the Facilities and any ancillary documents and security arrangements in connection therewith, and (c) to reimburse each Indemnified Person from time to time, upon presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to consultants’ fees, travel expenses and fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel)), in each case, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the definitive documentation for the Facilities and any ancillary documents and security arrangements in connection therewith. You agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you or your subsidiaries, affiliates, equity holders or creditors arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any aspect of the Transactions. Without limiting your indemnification obligations as set forth in this paragraph for any such damages awarded in connection with a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party (subject to any applicable limitations set forth above), notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no party hereto shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with the Facilities. You shall not be liable for any settlement of any litigation, investigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section applies (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), effected without your prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with your prior written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party to the extent and in the manner set forth above. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

Additionally, each of you acknowledges and agrees that Credit Suisse is not advising you as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any consents needed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby). Each of you shall consult with your own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making your own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and Credit Suisse shall have no responsibility or liability to you with respect thereto.

With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by us or any of our customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights in its sole discretion.

This Commitment Letter shall not be assignable by either of you without our prior written consent (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons), and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons). Subject to the provisions of Section 3 above, each of us may assign our respective commitments hereunder to any of our respective affiliates or any Lender. Any such assignment to an affiliate will not relieve the assignor from any of its obligations hereunder unless and until such affiliate shall have funded the portion of the commitment so assigned. Subject to the next preceding sentence, any and all obligations of, and services to be provided by, us hereunder (including our commitments) may be performed and any and all of our rights hereunder may be exercised by or through our respective affiliates or branches. Each of you acknowledges that we may share with any of our respective affiliates, and any such affiliate may share with us, in each case on a confidential basis, any information related to Terex, Konecranes or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates and the transactions contemplated hereby. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of us and each of you.

You acknowledge that information and documents relating to the Facilities may be transmitted through SyndTrak, Intralinks, the internet, e-mail, or similar electronic transmission systems, and that we shall not be liable for any damages arising from the unauthorized use by others of information or documents transmitted in such manner. We may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the Transactions in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of Terex, Konecranes and their respective affiliates (or any of them), and the amount, type and closing date of such Transactions, all at our expense. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters supersede all prior understandings, whether written or oral, between us and you with respect to the Facilities. Your obligations
11
under this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters are joint and several.

In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit A shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.
Pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and other disclosure letters thereto, collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Terex”), Konecranes Plc (“Konecranes”), Konecranes, Inc., a Texas corporation, and Konecranes Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a newly formed, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Konecranes (“Merger Sub”), Terex will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Terex surviving such merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Konecranes, and with the existing stockholders of Terex having their outstanding equity interests in Terex converted into the right to receive approximately 60% of the outstanding equity interests of Konecranes (the “Acquisition”).
Prior to and in preparation for the Acquisition, Konecranes and its subsidiaries intend to undergo a restructuring, pursuant to which, among other transactions, the direct or indirect parent of Merger Sub (“Terex U.S. Holdco”) will issue an intercompany note to a foreign subsidiary of Konecranes (“Finance Sub”) (the restructuring, including the financing, collectively, the “Restructuring”).

(b) | Unless it has obtained a waiver of its obligation to do so, Terex will commence an offer (the “6.0% CofC Offer” and, together with the 6.5% CofC Offer, the “CofC Offers”) to repurchase Terex’s 6.0% senior notes due 2021 (the “6.0% Notes” and, together with the 6.5% Notes, the “Existing Notes”) as a result of the change of control of Terex occurring upon the consummation of the Acquisition. |

Exh. A-1
“Revolving Facilities” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Facilities”) and (ii) unless Terex has obtained waivers of its obligations to repurchase the Existing Notes pursuant to the CofC Offers or consummated the CofC Offers for the Existing Notes, seek to issue an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,150,000,000 in senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a public offering or in a Rule 144A or other private placement and, to the extent Terex is unable to issue the full amount of the Notes on or prior to the Closing Date, obtain the senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility” and, together with the Senior Facilities, the “Facilities”) described in the Bridge Facility Term Sheet, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,150,000,000 less (i) the aggregate amount of gross cash proceeds provided by Notes issued on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 6.5% Notes and 6.0% Notes that are not or will not be tendered pursuant to any CofC Offers.

Exh. A-2
(e) | The proceeds of the Senior Facilities and cash on hand at Terex and Konecranes and their respective subsidiaries will be applied to (i) effect the Credit Agreement Refinancings, (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (the “Transaction Costs”) and (iii) for other general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of equity interests in Konecranes following the Closing Date. |
(f) | The proceeds of the Bridge Facility (or any Notes issued in lieu thereof) will be applied to (i) finance the 6.5% CofC Offer, (ii) finance the 6.0% CofC Offer and (iii) pay Transaction Costs. |

In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit B shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.
Borrower: | In respect of the Term Facility (as defined below), with respect to the (i) U.S. Term Loans (as defined below), Terex, and (ii) Euro Term Loans (as defined below), Konecranes or Konecranes Finance,2 as applicable (together with Terex the “Term Borrowers”). In respect of the Revolving Facilities (as defined below), Konecranes, Terex, New Terex Holdings UK Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of England (the “UK Borrower”), Terex International Financial Services Company, a company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “European Borrower”), Terex Australia Pty Ltd, a company organized under the laws of Australia and registered in Queensland, Australia (the “Australian Borrower”) and one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of Konecranes and/or Terex to be agreed upon (collectively, the “Revolving Borrowers” and together with the Term Borrowers, the “Borrowers”). | |
Agent: | Credit Suisse AG, acting through one or more of its branches or affiliates (“CS”), will act as sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders acceptable to the Terex (the “Lenders”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles. | |

_________________________________________ 2If Konecranes Finance is the borrower under the Euro-denominated Term Facility, Konecranes will provide an unconditional guarantee in respect thereof. |
Exh. B-1
Facilities: | (A) | Term Facility A senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $900,000,000 (the “Term Facility”), such aggregate principal amount to be allocated between a U.S. dollar-denominated term loan facility to be made to Terex (the loans thereunder, the “U.S. Term Loans”) and a Euro-denominated term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to €450,000,000 to be made to Konecranes or Konecranes Finance, as applicable (the loans thereunder, the “Euro Term Loans”). |
(B) | Revolving Facilities Two senior secured revolving credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750,000,000 (collectively, the “Revolving Facilities” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Facilities”), such aggregate principal amount to be allocated between (a) a U.S. dollar-denominated revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $375,000,000 to be made available to Terex (the “Domestic Revolving Facility”) and (b) a multicurrency revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $375,000,000 to be made available to the Revolving Borrowers (the “Multicurrency Revolving Facility”). | |
Letters of credit may be issued under the Domestic Revolving Facility or the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, as well as under any Additional L/C Facility (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement), in an outstanding aggregate face amount not in excess of $500,000,000. The Additional L/C Facility sublimit will be $400,000,000. Letters of credit under the Domestic Revolving Facility or the Multicurrency Revolving Facility (but not under the Additional L/C Facility) will reduce borrowing availability under the applicable Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In connection with the Domestic Revolving Facility, CS and/or a Lender or Lenders to be determined (before or after closing and with the consent of such Lender or such Lenders) (in such capacity, each, a “Domestic Swingline Lender”) will make available to Terex a swingline facility under which Terex may make short-term borrowings (“Domestic Swingline Loans”) of up to $75,000,000, provided that CS shall not be obligated to make Domestic Swingline Loans in excess of $50,000,000. Domestic Swingline Loans will reduce availability under the Domestic Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Lender under the Domestic Revolving Facility shall, promptly upon request by the Domestic Swingline Lender, fund to the Swingline Lender its pro rata share of any Domestic Swingline Loans. Interest on Domestic Swingline Loans shall be at the same rates as applicable to ABR Revolving Loans. |
Exh. B-2
In connection with the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, a Lender or Lenders to be determined (before or after closing and with the consent of such Lender or such Lenders) (in such capacity, each, a “Multicurrency Swingline Lender”) will make available to the Revolving Borrowers a swingline facility under which the Revolving Borrowers may make short-term borrowings (“Multicurrency Swingline Loans”) in euro and Pounds Sterling of up to the dollar equivalent of $75,000,000. Multicurrency Swingline Loans will reduce availability under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Lender under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility shall, promptly upon request by the Multicurrency Swingline Lender, fund to the Multicurrency Swingline Lender its pro rata share of any Multicurrency Swingline Loans. Interest on Multicurrency Swingline Loans shall be at the same rates as applicable to Multicurrency Revolving Loans subject to FBR (as defined in Annex I). | ||
The Revolving Borrowers will also be permitted to make borrowings (“Contract Loans”) of up to $200,000,000 pursuant to bilateral agreements with Lenders under either Revolving Facility on terms to be agreed by the applicable Revolving Borrower and each such Lender and in the currencies as provided in the Existing Terex Credit Agreement. Contract Loans will reduce availability under the applicable Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis (but will not reduce any such Lender’s commitments thereunder nor affect the calculation of any fees (including facility fees) in respect of such Revolving Facility). Any Contract Loans will be deemed to be loans under the Revolving Facilities and secured by the Collateral (as hereinafter defined). |
Exh. B-3
Incremental Facilities: | The definitive documentation for the Senior Facilities (the “Senior Facilities Documentation”) will permit the Borrowers to obtain one or more incremental term loan facilities (or to obtain additional term loans under an existing term loan facility) under the Senior Facilities Documentation (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”) and/or increase the commitments under either Revolving Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility”; the Incremental Term Loan Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided, that (a) at the time such Incremental Facilities are incurred and after giving effect thereto and to the use of proceeds thereof (and assuming any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility is fully funded), the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.50 to 1.00, (b) no default or event of default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, (c) subject to clause (d) below, the terms of any Incremental Term Loan Facilities shall be determined by Terex, Konecranes and the Lenders thereunder and (d) without the prior written consent of Lenders holding at least 51% in interest of the outstanding loans and commitments of any class of loans under the Term Facility, (i) until the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, if the initial yield on any Incremental Term Loan Facility (as determined by the Agent in a manner consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement) exceeds by more than 50 basis points the yield (as so determined) on the term loans of such class, then the applicable margin for each adversely affected class of term loans shall automatically be increased to eliminate such excess above 50 basis points, (ii) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no earlier than the final maturity date of any other class of term loans and (iii) the average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of any other class of term loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Senior Facilities Documentation will contain provisions comparable to the Limited Conditionality Provisions in respect of any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a permitted acquisition. | |
The Borrowers may seek commitments in respect of the Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Lenders in connection therewith. |
Exh. B-4
Amend and Extend Provisions: | The Senior Facilities Documentation will include customary provisions that will permit the applicable Borrowers to offer to all Lenders under a class of loans or commitments the option to extend the maturity of such Lenders’ loans or commitments on terms and conditions to be set forth in the Senior Facilities Documentation, provided that only the loans and commitments of Lenders that agree to such extension shall be so extended. | |
Purpose: | (A) | The proceeds of the Term Facility, together with a portion of the Revolving Facilities and cash on hand at Terex and Konecranes and their respective subsidiaries, will be used (a) on the date of the initial borrowing under the Senior Facilities (the “Closing Date”) to (i) effect the Credit Agreement Refinancings, (ii) pay the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (iii) pay Transaction Costs and (b) on or after the Closing Date, for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, including the repurchase of equity interests in the Borrower. |
(B) | The proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facilities will be used by the applicable Revolving Borrower solely (a) on the Closing Date, as set forth in clause (A) above, and (b) from time to time after the Closing Date, for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes (including the making of dividends and other distributions in respect of its equity interests, the repurchase of equity interests in the Borrower, the repayment or other retirement of indebtedness and the financing of permitted acquisitions, in each case to the extent permitted under the Senior Facilities Documentation). | |
(C) | Letters of credit will be used for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes (including to replace, backstop or continue letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under the Existing Credit Agreements). | |
Availability: | (A) | The full amount of the Term Facility must be drawn in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. |
(B) | Loans under the Revolving Facilities will be available on the Closing Date for the purpose set forth in clause (A) under the heading “Purpose”. Thereafter, loans under the Revolving Facilities will be available at any time prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facilities, in minimum principal amounts consistent with those set forth in the Existing Terex Credit Agreement. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facilities may be reborrowed. |
Exh. B-5
Multicurrency Advances: | The Term Facility will be available in U.S. dollars and Euros and the Domestic Revolving Facility will be available only in U.S. dollars. The Multicurrency Revolving Facility (a) will be available to the Revolving Borrowers (other than the Australian Borrower), up to the maximum amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, in U.S. dollars, euro and Pounds Sterling, and (b) will be available to the Australian Borrower through loans made on behalf of the Lenders by the Australian Fronting Lender in Australian dollars and U.S. dollars in an aggregate principal amount of up to the equivalent of $50,000,000. Loans under the Domestic Revolving Facility will be made by all the Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their commitments in respect thereof. Loans under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility (other than loans to the Australian Borrower) will be made by all the Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their commitments in respect thereof. Loans made by the Australian Fronting Lender to the Australian Borrower will reduce borrowing availability under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The Lenders under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility will acquire unconditional participations in the loans to the Australian Borrower thereunder in the event of a payment default on such loans, and shall be entitled to receive from the Australian Fronting Lender a participation fee equal to the spread over the applicable LIBOR or base rate on such loans, to the extent the same is received by the Australian Fronting Lender. | |
Interest Rates and Fees: | As set forth on Annex I hereto. | |
Default Rate: | The applicable interest rate plus 2.0% per annum, payable on overdue amounts. | |
Letters of Credit: | Consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement (which includes, among other things, customary provisions relating to Defaulting Lenders), letters of credit under the Revolving Facilities will be issued by one or more Lenders acceptable to the Terex and the Agent who agree to provide such letters of credit (the “Issuing Banks”). Each letter of credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) 24 months after its date of issuance and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facilities; provided, however, that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 24 months (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b)). | |
Drawings under any letter of credit shall be reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Borrower within one business day. To the extent that such Revolving Borrower does not reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank within one business day, the Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility shall be irrevocably obligated to reimburse such Issuing Bank pro rata based upon their respective commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility. |
Exh. B-6
The issuance of all letters of credit shall be subject to the customary procedures of the applicable Issuing Bank. | ||
Defaulting Lenders: | The Senior Facilities Documentation will contain provisions modifying certain rights of defaulting Lenders and the rights and obligations of the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender in the event of defaulting Lenders (including customary reallocation mechanisms and cash collateralization obligations). | |
Final Maturity and Amortization: | (A) | Term Facility The Term Facility will mature on the date that is seven years after the Closing Date, and will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the Term Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Facility. |
(B) | Revolving Facilities The Revolving Facilities will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate on the date that is five years after the Closing Date. | |
Guarantees: | Subject, on the Closing Date, to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, all obligations of the Borrowers under the Senior Facilities and under any interest rate protection or other hedging arrangement entered into with a Lender, the Agent or any affiliate thereof (“Hedging Arrangements”) and performance guarantees will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Terex, Konecranes and each material (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement) direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Konecranes (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), in each case other than any Excluded Subsidiary; provided, however, that with respect to the obligations of any Borrower that is (1) a “United States person” (as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) or (2) a “non-CFC foreign related person” (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2014-52, 2014-42 IRB 712), no Guarantees shall be provided by (a) (i) any person that is a “controlled foreign corporation” as defined in section 957(a) of the Code or (ii) any subsidiary of any such person (each person or subsidiary described in (i) or (ii), a “CFC”) or (b) any subsidiary that is a “United States person” (as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and has no material assets other than equity of one or more CFCs (“Foreign Subsidiary Holdco”). |
Exh. B-7
For purposes hereof: “Excluded Subsidiary” means any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower (x) identified by the Borrowers in the Senior Facilities Documentation, (y) that is individually, and together with any other subsidiaries deemed immaterial subsidiaries, below materiality thresholds to be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement, as modified to give effect to the Transactions (including the changes to the identity and corporate structure of the Borrowers), or (z) that is not permitted by law, regulation or contract (not entered into for purposes of avoiding such guarantee) to provide such guarantee, or would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide such guarantee, unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received, or for which the provision of such guarantee would result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower or one of its subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Agent). | ||
In addition, certain subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements under the Senior Facilities Documentation in circumstances where the Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the benefit to the secured parties intended to be afforded thereby. |
Exh. B-8
Security: | Subject, on the Closing Date, to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, the Senior Facilities (including any Contract Loans), the Guarantees of the Loan Parties, any Hedging Arrangements and performance guarantees up to $500,000,000 will be secured by pledges of, security interests in and/or mortgages on substantially all of the present and after-acquired tangible and intangible assets of the Loan Parties (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Loan Parties shall not be required to (i) grant a mortgage on any real property owned at closing with a fair market value of $10,000,000 or less or that is under a contract of sale as of the Closing Date, (ii) grant a mortgage on any after-acquired owned real property with a fair market value of $10,000,000 or less, (iii) grant a mortgage on any leased real property or (iv) grant a security interest on any Excluded Assets (as defined below) and (b) with respect to the obligations of any Loan Party that is (1) a “United States person” (as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (2) a “non-CFC foreign related person” (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2014-52, 2014-42 IRB 712), the Collateral shall exclude (i) any voting stock of any CFC or any Foreign Subsidiary Holdco, in each case in excess of 65% of the total combined voting power of such CFC or such Foreign Subsidiary Holdco and (ii) any property of any CFC or any Foreign Subsidiary Holdco (including any stock owned by any CFC or any Foreign Subsidiary Holdco). For purposes hereof: “Excluded Assets” means, collectively, (a) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title or ownership to the extent a security interest therein cannot be perfected by a filing of a financing statement, (b) any asset (including equity interests) if, to the extent and for so long as the grant of a lien thereon is prohibited by applicable law, (c) any Excluded Accounts (as defined below), (d) any contract, instrument, document, lease, license or other agreement to which a Loan Party or any of its property is subject with any person if, to the extent and for so long as the grant of a lien thereon constitutes a breach of or a default under, or creates a right of termination in favor of any party (other than such Loan Party) to, such contract, instrument, document, lease, license or other agreement (but only to the extent any such prohibition on the granting of liens is not rendered ineffective by, or is otherwise unenforceable under, the Uniform Commercial Code or applicable law), (e) any intent‑to‑use trademark application filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office to the extent that an amendment to allege use or a verified statement of use with respect to such intent‑to‑use application has not been filed with and accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, but only to the extent that the grant of a lien thereon would invalidate or otherwise impair such trademark application, and (f) any assets as to which the Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion that the costs of obtaining a security interest in the same are excessive in relation to the benefit to the secured parties of the security intended to be afforded thereby. “Excluded Accounts” means, with respect to any Loan Party, (a) payroll, payroll tax, withholding tax, employee wage and benefit and other tax and employee fiduciary accounts, (b) any zero balance account so long as the opening balance (determined as of the opening of business on the applicable business day of determination) in such account does not exceed the minimum amount required to be deposited by the depositary bank in such account, and (c) any other accounts to the extent the aggregate cash balance in any such account or accounts described in this clause (c) does not exceed, individually or in the aggregate, $2,000,000. |

Exh. B-10
The above-described mandatory prepayments shall be applied in direct order of maturity to the remaining amortization payments due during the next twelve months and then pro-rata to the remaining amortization payments of the Term Facility.

$1,150,000,000 Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility
Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit C shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit C is attached (the “Commitment Letter”) or in the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit C shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.
Borrower: | Terex. |
Agent: | The Agent under the Senior Facilities will act as sole administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders acceptable to the Borrower (together with CS, the “Lenders”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles. |
Sole Lead Arranger and Bookrunner: | The Arranger under the Senior Facilities will act as the sole lead arranger and bookrunner for the Bridge Facility (as defined below), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles. |
Bridge Loans: | Senior unsecured increasing rate bridge loans providing $1,150,000,000 of gross cash proceeds (the “Bridge Loans”) less (i) the aggregate amount of gross cash proceeds provided by Notes issued on or prior to the Bridge Closing Date (as defined below) (including any Notes issued into escrow) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 6.5% Notes and 6.0% Notes that are not or will not be tendered in the CofC Offers, as provided in “Commitment Reductions” below. |
Purpose: | The proceeds of the Bridge Loans will be used on the Bridge Closing Date to (a) unless Terex has obtained a waiver of its obligation to make the 6.5% CofC Offer, finance the 6.5% CofC Offer, (b) unless Terex has obtained a waiver of its obligation to make the 6.0% CofC Offer, finance the 6.0% CofC Offer and (c) pay Transaction Costs. |
Exh. C-1
Availability: | If Terex is required to make the CofC Offers in connection with the Transactions, and subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth under “Conditions Precedent to Borrowing” set forth below, the Bridge Loans, if any, may be drawn in a single drawing on the Closing Date (the “Bridge Closing Date”) for the sole purpose of enabling Terex to consummate the CofC Offers that are required to be made under (and which shall be made pursuant to the requirements of) the indentures governing the Existing Notes in connection with the Acquisition. Any commitments, if any, in respect of Bridge Loans that are not funded on the Bridge Closing Date in accordance with the foregoing shall automatically terminate. |
Commitment Reductions: | The commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount by which the 6.5% Notes and the 6.0% Notes is reduced (by whatever means) prior to the Bridge Closing Date, and (ii) the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 6.5% Notes, if and when Terex obtains a waiver of its obligation to make the 6.5% CofC Offer, and the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 6.0% Notes, if and when Terex obtains a waiver of its obligation to make the 6.0% CofC Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, if Terex obtains waivers of its obligations to make both of the CofC Offers, the commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility will immediately and automatically terminate in full. In addition, Terex shall have the right at any time and from time to time to permanently reduce the commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility on one business day advance notice to the Administrative Agent. |
Interest Rates: | The Bridge Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month Adjusted LIBO Rate, plus a spread of 5.50% (the “Rate”).

The foregoing are referred to as the “Documentation Principles”. |
Exh. C-3
Rollover: | If the Bridge Loans are not repaid in full on or prior to the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, and provided that no bankruptcy default under the definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Loan Documentation”) has occurred and is continuing, the Bridge Loans shall be automatically converted on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date (the “Conversion Date”) into senior unsecured term loans due on the seventh anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity Date (the “Extended Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loans so converted. The Extended Term Loans will have the terms set forth in Annex I to this Exhibit C. At any time on or after the Conversion Date, at the option of the applicable Lender and on reasonable prior written notice, the Extended Term Loans may be exchanged by the holders thereof for exchange notes (“Exchange Notes”), which will have the terms set forth in Annex I to this Exhibit C; provided that (i) no Exchange Notes shall be issued until the Borrower shall have received requests to issue at least $100,000,000 in aggregate amount of Exchange Notes (or such lesser principal amount as represent all of the outstanding Extended Term Loans) and (ii) no subsequent Exchange Notes shall be issued until the Borrower shall have received additional requests to issue at least $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional Exchange Notes (or such lesser principal amount as represent all of the outstanding Extended Term Loans).

In connection with each such exchange, if requested by any Lender that is a Lender as of the Bridge Closing Date (each, an “Initial Bridge Lender”), the Borrower shall (i) deliver to the Lender that is receiving Exchange Notes, and to such other Lenders as such Initial Bridge Lender requests, an offering memorandum of the type customarily utilized in a Rule 144A offering of senior unsecured high-yield securities covering the resale of such Exchange Notes by such Lenders, in such form and substance as reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and such Initial Bridge Lender, and keep such offering memorandum updated in a manner as would be required pursuant to a customary Rule 144A securities purchase agreement; (ii) execute an exchange agreement containing provisions customary in Rule 144A securities purchase agreements (including indemnification provisions) if reasonably requested by such Initial Bridge Lender; (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered such opinions and accountants’ comfort letters addressed to the Initial Bridge Lender and such certificates as the Initial Bridge Lender may reasonably request as would be customary in Rule 144A offerings and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Bridge Lender; and (iv) take such other actions, and cause its advisors, auditors and counsel to take such actions, as reasonably requested by the Initial Bridge Lender in connection with issuances or resales of Exchange Notes, including providing such information regarding the business and operations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by any prospective holder of Exchange Notes and customarily provided in due diligence investigations in connection with purchases or resales of Rule 144A securities. The Extended Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge Loan Documentation and will have the same terms as the Bridge Loans except as expressly set forth in Annex I to this Exhibit C. |

Exh. C-6
Voting: | Substantially similar to the Senior Facilities Documentation, with such changes and additions as are necessary and appropriate in connection with the Bridge Loans.

Cost and Yield Protection: | Consistent with the Existing Terex Credit Agreement. |
Exh. C-7
Assignments and Participations: | Subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Commitment Letter, the Bridge Lenders shall have the right to assign their interest in the Bridge Loans in whole or in part without the consent of the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) prior to the date that is one year after the Closing Date and unless a Demand Failure Event (as defined in the Fee Letter) in respect of the Bridge Loans has occurred or a bankruptcy event of default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall be required with respect to any assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if, subsequent thereto, the Credit Suisse and the Additional Commitment Parties (together with their respective affiliates) would hold, in the aggregate, less than 50.1% of the outstanding Bridge Loans and (ii) the Borrower shall be notified of such assignment. For any assignments for which the Borrower’s consent is required, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten business days of a request for such consent. Each assignment will be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Assignments will be by novation and will be subject to customary restrictions on eligible assignees to be agreed.

Exh. C-8
Expenses and Indemnification: | The Borrower will indemnify the Arranger, the Agent, the Lenders, their respective affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, members, partners and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) and hold them harmless from and against all costs, expenses (which shall be limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel) for each of the Arranger and the Agent, and not more than one outside counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel) for all of the Lenders and, solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each affected Lender) and liabilities of such Indemnified Person arising out of or relating to any claim or any litigation or other proceeding (regardless of whether such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its affiliates or equityholders) that relates to the Bridge Loan Documentation and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any cost, expense or liability to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or (b) any disputes solely among Indemnified Persons and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its affiliates (other than any proceeding against any Indemnified Person solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Agent, lead arranger, bookrunner or any other similar role with respect to the Bridge Facility). The Borrower will also pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its affiliates (which shall be limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel) for the Agent and its affiliates) in connection with the syndication and distribution of the Bridge Facility, the preparation and administration of the Bridge Loan Documentation and any amendments or waivers thereto and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) of the Arranger, the Agent and the Lenders incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Bridge Facility; provided that, absent an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, the Borrower will be required to pay the charges of only one counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the parties set forth in this clause (ii) taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel and one additional local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all such affected parties (so long as such shared representation is consistent with and permitted by professional responsibility rules)). |

The Borrower will issue Exchange Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”) substantially similar to the existing indentures of Terex, as modified to give effect to the Transactions (including the changes to the identity and corporate structure of the Borrower). The Borrower will appoint a trustee acceptable to the Agent and the Initial Bridge Lenders.

In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit D shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.
The initial borrowing under each of the Facilities shall be subject to the following additional conditions precedent:
1. The Acquisition and the other Transactions shall be consummated simultaneously with the closing under the Facilities in accordance with applicable law and on the terms described in the Term Sheets and in the Merger Agreement (without any amendment, modification or waiver thereof or any consent thereunder which is materially adverse to the Lenders, the Arranger or the Agent without the prior written consent of the Arranger (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)). Subject to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, the Merger Agreement Representations and the Specified Representations shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of any Merger Agreement Representation or Specified Representation which expressly relates to a given date or period, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be).

3. Since December 31, 2014, there shall not have been any Material Adverse Effect.

4. The Arranger shall have received (a) (i) if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by February 29, 2016, the U.S. GAAP audited consolidated and (to the extent available) consolidating balance sheet and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Terex for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and (ii) U.S. GAAP unaudited consolidated and (to the extent available) consolidating balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Terex for each fiscal quarter ended after March 31, 2015, and at least 45 days before the Closing Date, (b) (i) if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by March 31, 2016, the IFRS audited consolidated and (to the extent available) consolidating balance sheet and related statements of income,
