SECTION 2.01. Forms of Notes. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may reasonably deem appropriate and as may be required to comply with any law, with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, with any rules of any securities exchange, automated quotation system or clearing agency or to conform to usage, as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officer executing the Notes, as evidenced by such officer’s execution of the Notes. Each Note under this Indenture will be offered and sold in accordance with the Appendix and in reliance on Rule 144A or Regulation S, as indicated by the legend on the Notes.
SECTION 2.02. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. Subject to Section 6.15, the Certificate of Authentication will be in the form included on Exhibit A.
SECTION 2.03. Notes in Global Form. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. If any Note is issuable in global form, such Note may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Note in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified in such Note. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Note in global form, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02.
SECTION 2.04. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying numbers (“Identifying Numbers”) and, if so, the Trustee shall use such Identifying Numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such Identifying Numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identifying numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any change in the Identifying Numbers.
ARTICLE III
The Notes

SECTION 3.01. Title; Payment and Terms. The Trustee shall authenticate Notes to be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date in an aggregate amount equal to $600,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 9.05, 10.15, 10.16 or 11.07). The Trustee shall authenticate Additional Notes thereafter in unlimited amount
49



for original issue upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (so long as permitted by this Indenture, including Section 10.13). Any such Officer’s Certificate shall also specify the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and shall certify that such issuance will not be prohibited by Section 10.13.
The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any Additional Notes, nor will it be liable for its refusal to authenticate any Additional Notes, if the issue of such Additional Notes will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or may expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or others.
SECTION 3.02. [Reserved]
SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, Chief Executive Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.
Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with the Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein manually or electronically executed by the Trustee or on its behalf pursuant to Section 6.15, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee, or any successor Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Notes.
Each Depositary for a Global Note in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.
50



The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.
SECTION 3.04. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any temporary Notes so exchanged will be cancelled by the Trustee. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
SECTION 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.
The Notes shall be transferable only in compliance with the Appendix. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 9.05 and 11.07 not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue or register the transfer of or exchange of Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 11.04 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption
51



and (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption as a whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, the Company will not be required to exchange any Notes if, as a result of the exchange, the Company would suffer adverse consequences under any law or regulation.
SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and such Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or such Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note or in exchange for such mutilated Note, a new Note in a like principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of any of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and the ownership thereof.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including all fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Note, be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Notes, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office or, at the option of the Company, may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $5,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes in definitive form, whether having identical or different terms and provisions, having the same Interest Payment Dates will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee for the Notes at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by
52



the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder. Notwithstanding the forgoing, payment of interest in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes should be made in accordance with procedures required by the Depositary.
Every permanent Global Note will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Note held for its account by the Depositary. Each of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking will in such circumstances credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Note to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.
Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed manner of payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
53



Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.
SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
SECTION 3.09. Cancelation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancelation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures and a certificate of disposition evidencing such disposition of Notes shall be provided to the Company by the Trustee upon the written request of the Company. Permanent Global Notes shall not be disposed of until exchanged in full for definitive Notes or until payment thereon is made in full.
SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months.
SECTION 3.11. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior indebtedness of the Company and shall rank pari passu in right of payment among themselves and with all of the other existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company.
SECTION 3.12. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have substantially identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto, if any. The Initial Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. In the event that any of the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued with a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other Identifying Number so that they are distinguishable from the Initial Notes.
54



With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
(1) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes;
(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
(3) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto; and
(4) the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of such Additional Notes.
All references to the Initial Notes shall be deemed to include any Additional Notes actually issued.
ARTICLE IV

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance; Satisfaction and Discharge

SECTION 4.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution, set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have Section 4.02 be applied to all of the Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article IV.
SECTION 4.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes, except for:
(a) the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust fund referred to below;
(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
(c) the Company’s obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes;
(d) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee under Article VII and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and
(e) the provisions of Article VI.
55



In addition, the Company at its option at any time may terminate its obligations under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.04, 10.05, 10.08 and 10.10 through 10.20 (other than with respect to the Company as described under Article VIII) (and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes), and the limitations contained in Section 8.01(c) (“Covenant Defeasance”). In the event that a Covenant Defeasance occurs, the events (not including non-payment and bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to the Company) described under Section 5.01 will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the Notes.
The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option. If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.
SECTION 4.03. [Reserved]
SECTION 4.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the report of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm, to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the applicable redemption or maturity date, as the case may be; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee on or prior to the redemption date; provided, further, that any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;
(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:
(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
(ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) shall confirm that, the Holders and the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal
56



income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders and the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;
(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;
(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;
(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and
(h) no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes on the date of such deposit on the date of such deposit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 4.04(b) with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.
If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.
SECTION 4.05. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture will be discharged with respect to the Notes and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving
57



rights of transfer or exchange of such Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) solely as to all Notes under this Indenture when with respect to such Notes:
(a) either:
(i) all Notes previously authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable whether on the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date by reasons of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable at the Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company; provided that the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the Stated Maturity or such Redemption Date together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
(b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes under this Indenture by the Company; and
(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes have been complied with;
provided that, upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee on or prior to the redemption date; provided, further, that any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee under Section 4.05(a)(ii), the obligations of the Trustee under
58



Section 4.08 and Section 6.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, in each case, with respect to the Notes.
SECTION 4.06. Survival of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Notes referred to in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.04, or 4.05, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee for the Notes under Sections 3.03, 3.05, 3.09, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, and 5.08, Article VI, and Sections 7.01, 7.02, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05, shall survive with respect to Notes until the Notes are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, and 4.10 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article IV shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.
SECTION 4.07. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. Subject to Section 4.10, after (i) the conditions of Section 4.04 or 4.05 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article IV.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.04 or 4.05 with respect to the Notes or the principal and interest received in respect
59



thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

SECTION 4.10. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(d) the failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after notice with any of its obligations set forth in Section 10.15 (other than a failure to purchase the Notes), 10.09, 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.16 (other than a failure to purchase the Notes), 10.17, 10.18, or 10.19;
(e) the failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after notice with its other covenants, obligations, warranties or agreements contained in this Indenture;
(f) Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $60.0 million;
(g) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law;
(iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(h) any judgment or decree for the payment of money, the portion of which is not covered by insurance is in excess of $60.0 million, which is rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and is not discharged and either (A) an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree or (B) there is a period of 60 days following such judgment during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof stayed (including pending appeal); or
(i) any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect or becomes unenforceable or invalid or is declared null and void (other than in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture) or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations
61



under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
However, a default under Section 5.01(d), (e) and (h) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.
If an Event of Default (other than the bankruptcy provisions relating to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the notes to be due and payable; provided, however, that no such declaration may occur with respect to any action taken, and publicly reported or reported to Holders, more than two years prior to such declaration. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.
Any notice of Default, notice of continuing Event of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of continuing Event of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each Directing Holder to the Company and the Trustee that such Directing Holder is not (or, in the case such Directing Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Directing Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which Position Representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Directing Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee.
If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder providing such Noteholder Direction was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee evidence that the Company has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Default or Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending
62



satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Directing Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Directing Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Directing Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred.
Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to the Company, any holder or any other Person in connection with any Noteholder Direction or to determine whether or not any holder has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with this Indenture or any other agreement.
In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(f), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (including, without limitation, the declaration of acceleration of the notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the trustee or the holders of the notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, default, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default or acceleration that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Event of Default under Section 5.01(f) or (h) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under Section 5.01(d), (e) or (i), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity. (a) If an Event of Default (other than specified in Section 5.01(g) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the
63



principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.
(b) If an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(g) relating to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on the Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as set forth in Section 5.02(a), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes under this Indenture may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:
(i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;
(ii) if all existing Events of Default with respect to the Notes have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;
(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and
(iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:
(a) default is made in the payment of any interest upon any Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or
(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at its Maturity;
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal (and premium if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by such Notes; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding against the Company for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such
64



proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
SECTION 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Holders of Notes allowed in such judicial proceeding;
(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(c) any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Notes to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Notes, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Note any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee for the Notes to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions.
SECTION 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by
65



the Trustee for the Notes without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
SECTION 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due such Trustee under Section 6.07;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and
THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.
SECTION 5.07. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
SECTION 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Principal (and Premium, If Any) and Interest, If Any. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any,
66



on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Note has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by such Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes, provided that:
(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, regulation or fiscal requirements, court order, or the rules, operating procedures or market practice of any relevant stock exchange or other market or clearing system or with this Indenture and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability; and
(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction or which the Trustee regards as necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or fiscal requirements, court order, or the rules, operating procedures or market practice of any relevant stock exchange or other market or clearing system.
SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 5.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except:
67



(a) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Notes; or
(b) a default with respect to a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee for the Notes, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Notes on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).
SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(b) In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own wilful misconduct, except that:

For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

(b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Subsection (a) of this Section, as the case may be.
(c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VI.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by an Authenticating Agent for such Notes pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee”.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
75



capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.
Any Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 1.05. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.
If an appointment with respect to the Notes is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

80



such provision reflects a verbatim recitation of a provision of such “Description of Notes”;
(i) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect;

(r) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of the Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended may not result in the Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.
SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting as a single class (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and, subject to Sections 5.08 and 5.13, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture may also be waived with the consent of the

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting as a single class (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes).

(h) make any change in the ranking of the Notes as Senior Indebtedness that would adversely affect the Holders in any material respect; or
(i) make any change in any Subsidiary Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders in any material respect.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of, any of the covenants set forth in Sections 10.10 through 10.20 shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of Holders of Notes to receive payment of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes on or after the due dates therefor
After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to send electronically or mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by this Section 10.10, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may allocate all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among the categories described in Section 10.10(b)(i) through (b)(xvii) or among such categories and the types of Restricted Payments described in Section 10.10(a) (including categorization in whole or in part as a Permitted Investment); provided that, at the time of such allocation, all such Restricted Payments, or allocated portions thereof, would be permitted under the various provisions of this Section 10.10 and provided further that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, consistent with the terms of this Section 10.10, reclassify all or a portion of such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in any manner that complies with this Section 10.10 (based on circumstances existing at the time of such reclassification), and following such reclassification such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment shall be treated as having been made pursuant to only this Section 10.10 to which such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment has been reclassified. For purposes of determining when a Restricted Payment is made in respect of a keepwell or other comfort letter arrangement or agreement by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed made at such time as the amount of the obligation of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is quantifiable.
SECTION 10.11. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or

(a)     the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument as in effect on the Issue Date, and any amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings are no more materially restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the Credit Agreement or such agreement (or, if more restrictive, than those contained in this Indenture) immediately prior to any such amendment, restatement, renewal, replacement or refinancing;
(b) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;
(c) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of an Acquired Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition); provided, however, that such restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Acquired Person;
(d) by reason of customary non-assignment provisions in leases or other agreements entered into the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;
(e) Finance Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Indebtedness that only impose restrictions on the property so acquired;
(f) an agreement for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such restriction is only applicable to such Restricted Subsidiary or assets, as applicable, and such sale or disposition otherwise is permitted under Section 10.16;
(g) Refinancing Indebtedness permitted under this Indenture; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Refinancing Indebtedness are no more materially restrictive in the aggregate than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced immediately prior to such refinancing;

(i) any encumbrance or restriction of (A) a Receivables Subsidiary effected in
92



connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary or (B) an Equipment Subsidiary effected in connection with a Qualified Equipment Financing; provided, however, that such restrictions apply only to such Equipment Subsidiary;
(j) any Restricted Payment not prohibited by Section 10.10 and any Permitted Investment;
(k) Indebtedness secured by a Lien otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13 and Section 10.17 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;
(l) any agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date by Section 10.13 (A) if the encumbrance and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in this Indenture or the Credit Agreement in effect as of the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (B) the Company determines that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal and interest payments on the Notes as and when they become due or (C) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or a financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness;
(m) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (a) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, nor (b) Liens permitted under this Indenture, shall in and of themselves be considered a restriction on the ability of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to transfer such agreements or assets, as the case may be.
SECTION 10.12. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into any transaction or series of similar transactions involving an amount in excess of $15.0 million (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any asset or property or the
93



rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (other than any employee stock ownership plan for the benefit of the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s employees) unless the terms of such business, transaction or series of transactions are:

(ii) if such business, transaction or series of similar transactions involves an amount in excess of $50.0 million, the terms of such business, transaction or series of similar transactions shall be in writing and a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors shall have, by resolution, determined in good faith that such business or transaction or series of transactions meets the criteria set forth in (i) above.

99




(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.13, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of permitted Indebtedness set forth in Section 10.13(b)(i) through (b)(xxvi) or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will be entitled to classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 10.13; provided, however, that all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13(b)(i) and the Company shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date. The Company shall be required to include the amount and type of any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in one or more of clauses (i) through (xxvi) of Section 10.13(b). At the time of Incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 10.13(a) and (b) without giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence on the same date of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.13(b) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13(a). To the extent any item of Indebtedness that is Guaranteed or secured by a Lien is reclassified, each of the Incurrence of the Indebtedness upon reclassification, the Incurrence of the Guarantee of such Indebtedness upon reclassification and the Incurrence of the Lien upon reclassification must be permitted under this Indenture in order for the Company to make such reclassification.
(e) For purposes of determining amounts of Indebtedness under Section 10.13, Indebtedness resulting from security interests granted with respect to Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of Indebtedness, and Guarantees (and security interests with respect thereof) of, or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting, Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of Indebtedness.
(f) Indebtedness of any Person that is outstanding at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (including upon designation of any subsidiary or other person as a Restricted Subsidiary) or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed to have been Incurred at the time such Person becomes such a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable.
(g) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.13, the Incurrence of Indebtedness with respect to keepwell or other comfort letter arrangements or agreements given by the Company for the benefit of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness at such time as the amount of the obligation of the Company thereunder is quantifiable.
(h) The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 10.13.
100




(i) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or incurred (whichever yields the lowest U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.
SECTION 10.14. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless: (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (A) other than during the continuance of a Suspension Period, Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 10.13 and (B) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 10.17; provided, however, that whether or not the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary could create such a Lien as set forth in Section 10.14(1)(B), and in addition to any Permitted Liens, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be entitled to create Liens to secure Attributable Debt in respect of Sale/Leaseback Transactions in an aggregate principal amount at any one given time outstanding that does not exceed 2.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets as of the date of such Incurrence without equally and ratably securing the Notes; (2) the gross proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value of such property; and (3) to the extent that such Sale/Leaseback Transaction involves an Asset Disposition, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 10.16.
SECTION 10.15. Change of Control. (a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
101



(b) Not later than 15 Business Days following any Change of Control, except to the extent we have elected to redeem the Notes as described under Section 11.08, the Company shall send electronically or by mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder (or otherwise provide notice to each Holder in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with a copy to the Trustee) stating:
(i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);
(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;
(iii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, except in the case of a conditional Change of Control offer made in advance of a Change of Control as described below);
(iv) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and
(v) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 10.15, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.
(c) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time two Business Days prior to the date required for participation, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.
(d) On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Company under this Section 10.15 shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay or cause to be paid the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.
(e) At the time the Company delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.15. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.
102




(f) The Company shall comply in all material respects, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 10.15. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 10.15, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.15 by virtue of the Company’s compliance thereof.
(g) The Company may make a Change of Control offer in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control offer and the Change of Control payment date may be extended automatically until such Change of Control occurs.
(h) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control offer following a Change of Control if (1) a third party (including any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) makes the Change of Control offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control offer, or (2) a notice of redemption has previously been given for all of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture as described above under Section 11.08 unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable redemption price.
SECTION 10.16. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:
(i) The Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Company (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition and at least 75% of the consideration thereof received, together with all other Asset Dispositions since the Existing Notes Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that in the case of an Asset Disposition (x) involving the disposition of non-core assets (as determined by the Company in its good faith judgment) acquired as part of any acquisition after the Issue Date or (y) for aggregate consideration of less than $100.0 million, only 50% of the consideration therefor must be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided further that:
(A) any promissory notes, securities or other obligations or amounts received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 360 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received) shall be deemed to be cash solely for purposes of this Section 10.16(a)(i), and
(B) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate
103



Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 10.16(a)(i)(B) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $150.0 million and (y) 6.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) shall be deemed to be cash solely for purposes of this Section 10.16(a)(i);
(ii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), at its option except as described below:
(A) (x) to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Senior Indebtedness or any Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary), to prepay, repay or purchase Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary of the Company within 365 days of such Asset Disposition, (y) at the Company’s election to the investment by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in assets to replace the assets that were the subject of such Asset Disposition or assets that (as determined in good faith by the Company) are directly related to the business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date, in each case within 365 days from the date of such Asset Disposition, or (z) a combination of the foregoing purposes within such 365-day period;
(B) to make a pro rata offer to purchase Notes at par (and, to the extent required by the instrument governing such Indebtedness, any other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of a non-Guarantor Subsidiary designated by the Company, at a price no greater than par) plus accrued and unpaid interest, which offer can be made at the Company’s election at any time during the 365-day period set forth in Section 10.16(a)(ii)(A) or within 10 Business Days after such period, and
(C) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with Sections 10.16(a)(ii)(A) and 10.16(a)(ii)(B), for general corporate purposes otherwise permitted under this Indenture;
provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to Sections 10.16(a)(ii)(A) and 10.16(a)(ii)(B), the Company or such Subsidiary shall retire such Indebtedness and cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.16, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 10.16 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset
104



Dispositions (including any Asset Dispositions made since the Issue Date) which are not applied in accordance with this Section 10.16 exceeds $50.0 million.
For the purposes of this Section 10.16, the following is deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents: the express assumption of Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness that is by its terms subordinated to the Notes or to any Subordinated Obligation) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and for which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary has been validly released by all creditors in writing.
(b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that results in an offer to purchase the Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) pursuant to Section 10.16(a)(ii)(B), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Notes (and, to the extent required, other Senior Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (without premium) plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture which shall include, among other things, that the offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement. If the aggregate purchase price of Notes (and, to the extent required, any other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) tendered pursuant to such offer is less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase thereof, the Company shall be entitled to apply the remaining Net Available Cash in accordance with Section 10.16(a)(ii)(A) or (C). The Company shall not be required to make such an offer to purchase Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) pursuant to this Section 10.16 if the Net Available Cash available therefor is less than $50.0 million (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an offer is required with respect to any subsequent Asset Disposition). The Company shall not be required to make such an offer to purchase Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) pursuant to this Section 10.16 if a third party (including any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) makes the offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to such an offer by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such offer. Upon completion of any such offer by the Company for Notes, the amount of Net Available Cash related to such Asset Disposition shall be reset to zero, and during the pendency of an offer by the Company for Notes being effected in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture, the amount of Net Available Cash the Company is offering to apply in such offer shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Net Available Cash in respect of subsequent Asset Dispositions.
Pending the final application of any Net Available Cash pursuant to Section 10.16(a)(ii), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Available Cash temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities.
105




(c) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 10.16. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 10.16, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.16(c) by virtue thereof.
SECTION 10.17. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or Incur any Lien (the “Initial Lien”), other than Permitted Liens, upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien secures any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due with respect to the Notes or, with respect to Liens on any Restricted Subsidiary's property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (a) upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien, (b) upon the sale or other disposition of the assets subject to such Initial Lien (or the sale or other disposition of the Person that owns such assets) in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, (c) upon the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary whose property or assets secure such Initial Lien as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (d) upon the effectiveness of any defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as specified in this Indenture.
SECTION 10.18. Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall be entitled to designate any Subsidiary of the Company (including any existing Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Designation”) only if:
(a) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and
(b) either (x) the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary does not exceed $1,000 or (y) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment under Section 10.10 at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary on such date.
In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 10.10 in the Designation Amount. Further, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:
106



(1) provide credit support for, or a guarantee of, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);
(2) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or
(3) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary),
except, in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 10.18, to the extent permitted under Section 10.10 and Section 10.13; provided, however, that with respect to entering into keepwell or other comfort letter arrangements, such arrangements and agreements shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or a Restricted Payment at such time as the amount of the obligation of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with respect thereto is quantifiable. Standard Securitization Undertakings with respect to (x) a Qualified Receivables Financing of a Receivables Subsidiary are not prohibited by clauses (1), (2) and (3) above and (y) a Qualified Equipment Financing of an Equipment Subsidiary are not prohibited by clauses (1), (2) and (3) above.
The Company shall be entitled to revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) if:
(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation; and
(2) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred and shall be deemed to have been Incurred at such time.
All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the trustee attaching a certified copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors giving effect to such Designation or Revocation, as applicable, and certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.
SECTION 10.19. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall not permit any Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement unless such Wholly Owned Subsidiary executes a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Wholly Owned Subsidiary in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture within 30 days of such Guarantee of other Indebtedness.
107




SECTION 10.20. Suspended Covenants. (a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”) then, the covenants in Sections 8.01(c), 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.16, 10.18 and 10.19 will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
(b) In the event that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of Section 10.20(a), and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the suspension date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period”. Any Subsidiary Guarantees granted by the Subsidiary Guarantors prior to any Suspension Period shall be suspended during the Suspension Period. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions (including Asset Dispositions made since the Issue Date) which are not applied in accordance with Section 10.16 shall be reset to zero.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Reversion Date shall give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 10.10 had been in effect prior to and during the Suspension Period; (2) all Indebtedness incurred or issued, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 10.13(b)(v); (3) to the extent any Indebtedness is incurred or issued during the Suspension Period that would have required the Restricted Subsidiaries to become Subsidiary Guarantors and such Indebtedness is outstanding on the Reversion Date, such requirement shall become effective on the Reversion Date; (4) to the extent that any Liens are incurred during the Suspension Period such Liens shall be classified to have been incurred pursuant to clause (11) of the definition of Permitted Liens in Section 1.01 and (5) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantees shall be reinstated to the extent required by Section 10.19.
(d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Company notifying it of any event set forth under this Section 10.20.
SECTION 10.21. Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under this Indenture for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or government charges if and to the extent so required by applicable law, in which event the Company or Trustee, as applicable, shall make such payment after such withholding or deduction has been made and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so withheld or deducted.
108



SECTION 10.22. Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Acquisitions. When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition (including, without limitation, any Incurrence of Indebtedness to finance such Limited Condition Acquisition), the date of calculation of such basket or ratio and determination as to whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing may, at the option of the Company, be the date the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and, if the Company so elects, such baskets or ratios shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Acquisition, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in Cash Flow of the Company or the target company) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (b) such baskets or ratios need not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided, however, that if the Company elects to have such calculation and determination occur at the time of entry into such definitive documentation, any such transactions (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive documentation is entered into for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this Indenture after the date of such documentation and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or, if applicable, the date that the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition.

SECTION 11.07. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, and the Security Registrar for such Note duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, and having the same terms and provisions and in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent or mailed) without any specified notice requirement until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.

ARTICLE XII
Subsidiary Guarantees

SECTION 12.01. Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
113



by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; or (3) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection).
Except as expressly set forth in Sections 4.02, 10.20 and 12.02, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any Default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, and (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).
Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,
114



injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article V, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.
SECTION 12.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
SECTION 12.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 12.04. No Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 12.05. Modification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 12.06. Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.
115



SECTION 12.07. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of its Officers. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless.
The deliver of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Subsidiary Guarantees shall be enforceable whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantors have executed a counterpart to the Note, and no signatures by the Subsidiary Guarantors on the Note shall be required.
SECTION 12.08. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 12.09. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees. (a) A Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the occurrence of both of the following:
(i) One of the following events:
(A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, if such sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with Section 10.16(a)(i);
(B) the release and discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the Credit Agreement and any guarantee which resulted from the creation of the Subsidiary Guarantee after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 10.19, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

(c) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders constituting the Required Lenders.

SECTION 1.08. Rates; LIBO Rate Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. On March 5, 2021, the IBA stated that as a result of its not having access to input data necessary to calculate LIBOR settings on a representative basis beyond the intended cessation dates set forth in the table below, it would have to cease publication of all 35 LIBOR settings immediately after such dates:
LIBOR CurrencyLIBOR SettingsDate

June 30, 2023
GBP, EUR, CHF, JPYAll settingsDecember 31, 2021

The IBA did not identify any successor administrator in its announcement. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.08(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Terex, pursuant to Section 2.08(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.08(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.08(d), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments and Loans. (a) [Reserved].
(b)    Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, (i) each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make U.S. Revolving Loans to Terex, in dollars, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in dollars (in the case of each Borrower), Euro, Pounds and any other Alternative Currency (in the case of Terex, the European Borrower and the U.K. Borrower) and Australian Dollars (in the case of the Australian Borrower) in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the Aggregate Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Australian Dollar Sublimit.



58


(c)    Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, if such Lender has so committed pursuant to Section 2.27, to make Incremental Term Loans to one or more Borrowers as shall be designated by Terex, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in any Incremental Assumption Agreement to which such Lender may become a party.
(d)    Within the limits set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.01 and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (except with respect to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
(b)    Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, (i) each Dollar Borrowing made by any U.S. Borrower shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as such U.S. Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) each Dollar Borrowing made by a Subsidiary Borrower (other than a U.S. Borrower), and each Alternative Currency Borrowing (other than a Borrowing denominated in Pounds), shall be comprised entirely of Fixed Rate Loans and (iii) each Borrowing denominated in Pounds shall be comprised entirely of SONIA Rate Loans. Each Lender may at its option make any Loan (including any Alternative Currency Loan) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or other Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than 20 Fixed Rate Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods or denominated in different currencies, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c)    Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Dollar Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, and the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, credit the amounts so received to an account as designated by Terex on behalf of the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall



59


not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Alternative Currency Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in the jurisdiction of the applicable Alternative Currency as the Administrative Agent may designate for such purposes not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, and the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, credit the amounts so received to an account as designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of any Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or shortterm funds in the applicable currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Interest Period with respect to any Fixed Rate Borrowing that would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan Maturity Date or the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be.
(f)    If any Issuing Bank shall not have received from any Borrower the payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. In the case of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars, each applicable Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount in dollars equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR U.S. Revolving Loan or Multicurrency Revolving Loan, as applicable, of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure),



60


and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. In the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Pounds, Euro or Australian Dollars, each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the immediately following Business Day, an amount in such Alternative Currency equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an Alternative Currency Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the Multicurrency L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. In the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency other than Pounds, Euro or Australian Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Disbursement and of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount in dollars equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Multicurrency Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the Multicurrency L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of any Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight funds in the applicable currency, and for each day thereafter, (A) if such L/C Disbursement is denominated in dollars, the Alternate Base Rate, and (B) if such L/C Disbursement is denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Non-U.S. Base Rate.
SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (or telephone the Administrative Agent, promptly confirmed with a written and duly completed Borrowing Request) (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than an Alternative Currency Borrowing), not later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of



61


an Alternative Currency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days (or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrowing denominated in (i) Australian Dollars, four Business Days and (ii) Pounds, two Business Days) before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the day (which shall be a Business Day) of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request (including a telephonic Borrowing Request) shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by the applicable Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Term Borrowing of a particular Class, a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) if such Borrowing is to be a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be a Dollar Borrowing or an Alternative Currency Borrowing; (iii) if such Borrowing is to be denominated in dollars, whether it is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (iv) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (v) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (vi) the amount of such Borrowing; (vii) if such Borrowing is to be an Alternative Currency Borrowing, the Alternative Currency of such Borrowing; and (viii) if such Borrowing is to be a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the initial Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election is made as to whether a Revolving Credit Borrowing is to be a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be deemed to be a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing if denominated in dollars and a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing if denominated in an Alternative Currency. If no election as to the currency of a Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing if denominated in dollars or a Fixed Rate Borrowing if denominated in an Alternative Currency. If no Interest Period with respect to any Fixed Rate Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing and the account to which Loans made in connection with the requested Borrowing are to be wired.
SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) (i) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender entitled thereto, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to such Borrower, and (ii) Terex hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (A) for the account of the U.S. Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Swingline Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, if earlier, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (B) for the account of the Multicurrency Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Multicurrency Swingline Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, if earlier, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (C) for the account of each U.S. Term Lender entitled thereto, the principal amount of each U.S. Term Loan of such U.S. Term Lender as provided in Section 2.11(a).



62


(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to repay the Loans made to such Borrower in accordance with their terms.
(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-1, I-2 or I-3, as applicable, or otherwise in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Terex.
SECTION 2.05. Fees (a)  Terex agrees to pay to each Lender in dollars, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”) equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender (but not the L/C Commitments, the Swingline Commitments or the Contract Loan Commitments, none of which commitments shall, for the avoidance of doubt, reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender on which the Facility Fee shall be paid) during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the Restatement Effective Date or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or ending with the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated); provided, however, that (i) such rate shall be 0.375% per annum with respect to any day on which the Applicable Credit Rating shall be BB- or better from S&P and Ba3 or better from Moody’s, in each case with no negative outlook, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that such adjustment shall be given effect solely from and after the date on which Terex shall have provided written notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to the effectiveness of such Applicable Credit Ratings and (ii) if any Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding following any such expiration or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Facility Fees solely with respect to such Revolving Credit Exposure shall continue to accrue for so long as such Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding and shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Facility Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Restatement Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such



63


Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein and there is not any remaining Revolving Credit Exposure.
(b)    Terex agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in dollars, for its own account, the administrative fees from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent Fees payable pursuant to the fee letter dated January 19, 2017, between Terex and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC shall continue to be payable on the terms set forth therein, notwithstanding the termination of any of the credit facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement.
(c)    Terex agrees to pay (i) to each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate U.S. L/C Exposure and Multicurrency L/C Exposure, respectively (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date on which any L/C Exposure arises hereunder or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or ending with the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate equal to (A) in the case of Performance Letters of Credit, 50% of the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Fixed Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (B) in the case of all other Letters of Credit, 100% of the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Fixed Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment shall expire or be terminated as set forth herein a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other percentage as may be agreed upon by Terex and such Issuing Bank, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) on the amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the date on which any L/C Exposure arises hereunder or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or ending with the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall expire or be terminated) (the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall be payable in dollars.
(d)    All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each U.S. Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or



64


366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for such Loans in effect from time to time.
(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, each Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan, including each Multicurrency Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans denominated in Pounds or Australian Dollars, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the rate set forth in the definition of the term “Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans” and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for ABR Revolving Loans in effect from time to time.
(c)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, in the case of Fixed Rate Loans denominated in Pounds or Australian Dollars, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (or, in the case of Loans denominated in Australian Dollars, the Bank Bill Rate) for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for such Loans in effect from time to time.
(d)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each SONIA Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) Daily Simple SONIA and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for such Loans in effect from time to time.
(e)    Interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (ii) in the currency in which such Loan is denominated. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, Bank Bill Rate or Daily Simple SONIA for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If any Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan made to such Borrower or any other amount becoming due from such Borrower hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2%, (b) in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to L/C Disbursements owing in dollars, the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans plus 2%, (c) in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to L/C Disbursements owing in Alternative Currencies, the rate applicable to Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans for the applicable Alternative Currency plus 2% and (d) in the case of any interest payable on any Loan or reimbursement obligation with respect to any L/C Disbursement, any Facility Fee or other amount payable hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to ABR Loans (or, in the case of interest, fees or amounts owing on account of obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies, Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans) that are U.S. Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, plus 2% (or, in the case of fees, reimbursements or any such other amounts that do not relate to Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Exposure, the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.00%).



65



SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)    In the event, and on each occasion, that (i) on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market, (B) the rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loan during such Interest Period, or (C) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable; provided that, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time with respect to the applicable Benchmark, or (ii) before 5:00 p.m. (Sydney time) on the Business Day after the first day of an Interest Period for a Bank Bill Rate Borrowing, the Administrative Agent receives a notification from a Lender or Lenders (whose Loans in a Bank Bill Rate Borrowing collectively exceed 35% of the relevant Bank Bill Rate Borrowing) that as a result of market circumstances not limited to it (whether or not those circumstances, or their effect on any such Lender’s cost of funds, subsist on the date it becomes a Lender), the cost to it of funding its portion of that Bank Bill Rate Borrowing (from whatever source it may reasonably select) would be in excess of the Bank Bill Rate, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice explaining such determination or notification to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders.
(b)    In the event of any such determination by the Administrative Agent under clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.08, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised such Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by such Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing and any request by such Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any Alternative Currency pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for a Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan, and in the event of any such notification to the Administrative Agent under clause (a)(ii) of this Section 2.08, the Bank Bill Rate shall be the rate reasonably determined by the relevant Lender or Lenders to be its or their cost of funds, provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Australian Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and the Australian Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest (and any substitute basis of interest pursuant to this proviso shall only apply with the prior consent of all the Lenders providing such Bank Bill Rate Loan and the Australian Borrower, and then shall be binding on all such parties). Each determination by the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current USD Benchmark, then, (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such USD Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any



66


other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.
(d)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement with respect to the then-current USD Benchmark, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(e)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Terex and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a USD Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.08(f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.08, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.08.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current USD Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.



67


(g)    Upon Terex’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a U.S. dollar-denominated Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the applicable Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Terex or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Terex) that Terex or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the applicable Benchmark for any Alternative Currency, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and Terex may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Benchmark for such Alternative Currency in accordance with this Section 2.08 with an alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the United States and denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the United States and denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency for such Benchmarks, each of which adjustments or methods for calculating such adjustments shall be published on one or more information services as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (any such proposed rate, an “Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Terex unless, prior to such time, Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Such Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Alternative Currency shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
(i)    If no Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement has been determined for the applicable Alternative Currency and the circumstances under Section 2.08(h) above exist or a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred with respect to such Alternative Currency (as applicable), the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Terex and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans (or SONIA Rate Loans, if applicable) in such Alternative Currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods (or SONIA Rate Loans, if applicable)). Upon receipt of such notice (i) the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of,



68


conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans (or SONIA Loans, as the case may be) in each such affected Alternative Currency (to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted each such request into a request for a borrowing of ABR Loans denominated in dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Loans or SONIA Rate Loans, at the applicable Borrower’s election, shall either be (x) converted into a borrowing of ABR Loans denominated in dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Eurocurrency Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of SONIA Rate Loans, on the next Business Day following notification by the Administrative Agent) or (y) be prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of SONIA Rate Loans, on the next Business Day following notification by the Administrative Agent) in full; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the earlier of the date that is (A) three Business Days after receipt by Terex of such notice and (B) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (x) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any definition of an Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement for any Alternative Currency shall provide that in no event shall such Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement be less than zero for all purposes of this Agreement.
(j)    In connection with the implementation of an Alternative Currency Benchmark Replacement for any Alternative Currency, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to the applicable Alternative Currency from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrowers.
SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a)  Any Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Any L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall terminate as provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement.
(b)    Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, Terex may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the U.S. Term Loan Commitments, the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the U.S. Term Loan Commitments, the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of (x) the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure at the time and (y) the U.S. Contract Loan Exposure at such time and (iii) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of (x) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure at the time and



69


(y) the Multicurrency Contract Loan Exposure at such time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.09(b), a termination notice of the U.S. Term Loan Commitments, the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by Terex may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Terex (by written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
(c)    Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Commitments. Terex shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitments, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced, accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.
SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings
. Each Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation (or in the case of a continuation of a Fixed Rate Borrowing denominated in Australian Dollars, four Business Days prior to continuation), to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars or to continue any Fixed Rate Borrowing as a Fixed Rate Borrowing in the same currency for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days prior to conversion (or in the case of a conversion of a Fixed Rate Borrowing denominated in Australian Dollars, four Business Days prior to conversion), to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Fixed Rate Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
(i)    each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;
(ii)    if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;
(iii)    each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount;
(iv)    accrued interest on any Fixed Rate Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by such Borrower at the time of conversion;



70


(v)    if any Fixed Rate Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;
(vi)    any portion of a Borrowing (other than an Alternative Currency Borrowing) maturing or required to be repaid in less than 14 days may not be converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing;
(vii)    any portion of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, and any portion of an Alternative Currency Borrowing required to be repaid in less than 14 days may be converted, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an Interest Period ending on the date that such Borrowing is required to be repaid;
(viii)    no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurocurrency Term Borrowing that would end later than a Repayment Date, occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurocurrency Term Borrowings with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Repayment Date; and
(ix)    upon notice to any Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (A) no outstanding Dollar Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (C) no Interest Period in excess of one month may be selected for any Alternative Currency Borrowing.
Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the applicable Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Fixed Rate Borrowing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If such Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), (i) in the case of a Dollar Borrowing, automatically be continued as an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of an



71


Alternative Currency Borrowing, automatically be continued into a new Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions herein, the currency of an outstanding Borrowing may not be changed in connection with any conversion or continuation of such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a) Terex shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Term Lenders, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year (each such date being called a “U.S. Term Loan Repayment Date”), commencing on the last Business Day of September 2017, a principal amount of the U.S. Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12(b), 2.13(e), 2.27(d) and 9.04(l)) equal to $1,000,000, with the balance payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.
(b)    To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.
(c)    The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13(e)) equal to the amount set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the date of such payment.
(d)    All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
SECTION 2.12. Prepayment. (a)  Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a prepayment of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, given before 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days before such prepayment, (ii) in the case of a prepayment of ABR Loans, given before 12:00 (noon), Local Time, on the day (which shall be a Business Day) of such prepayment, (iii) in the case of a prepayment of SONIA Rate Loans, given before 1:00 p.m., Local Time, two Business Days before such prepayment and (iv) in the case of a prepayment of Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans, given before 1:00 p.m. Local Time, one Business Day before such prepayment; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum.
(b)    Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be allocated among any outstanding Classes of Term Loans of the applicable Borrower as specified by the applicable Borrower and applied (A) first, against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof under Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(c), respectively, in the next twelve months in the order of maturity and (B) second, pro rata against such remaining scheduled installments of principal of such Borrower.



72


(c)    Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) of such Borrower to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the applicable Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but, except as provided in Section 2.12(d), otherwise without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12(c), a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Terex (by written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.
SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments
. (a)  In the event of any termination of all the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Borrower shall repay or prepay (A) all its outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowings or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowings, as applicable, and (B) all its outstanding Multicurrency Swingline Loans (in the case of a termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments) and (ii) Terex shall repay or prepay all outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans (in the case of a termination of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments), in each case on the date of any such termination. In the event of any partial reduction of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, then at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure or Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, after giving effect thereto. If at any time, as a result of such a partial reduction or termination, as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise, (x) the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure plus the U.S. Contract Loan Exposure would exceed the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure plus the Multicurrency Contract Loan Exposure would exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment or (z) the Aggregate Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Australian Dollar Sublimit, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall (1) on the date of such reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments or (2) within three Business Day following notice from the Administrative Agent of any such fluctuation in exchange rate or otherwise, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(b)    Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale (other than (i) any Asset Sale the Net Cash Proceeds of which are not greater than $15,000,000 from any single event or series of related events, or (ii) Asset Sales the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of which are not greater than $50,000,000 in any fiscal year of Terex), the outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(f) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(c)    In the event that Terex or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), then, substantially



73


simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f).
(d)    No later than 60 days after the end of each ECF Period, outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(f) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the ECF Period then ended minus Voluntary Prepayments during such ECF Period; provided, however, that no such prepayment shall be required for an ECF Period if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the end of such ECF Period was less than 2.75 to 1.00.
(e)    In the event that there shall occur any Casualty or Condemnation and, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage, the Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, are required to be used to prepay the Term Loans, then the outstanding Term Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(f) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be.
(f)    Each prepayment of outstanding Term Loans required to be made pursuant to any paragraph of this Section 2.13 shall be allocated pro rata between the U.S. Term Loans and the other Classes of Term Loans then outstanding (if any) and applied (i) first against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof under Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(c), respectively, in the next twelve months in the order of maturity and (ii) second, pro rata against such remaining scheduled installments of principal.
(g)    Terex shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of Terex setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
(h)    To the extent possible consistent with Section 2.13(f), amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.13 to the prepayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to prepay outstanding ABR Term Loans and ABR Revolving Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower, be applied to prepay Fixed Rate Term Loans or Fixed Rate Revolving Loans, as the case may be, immediately and/or shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account (as defined below). The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Prepayment Account (i) allocable to Term Loans to prepay Fixed Rate Term Loans and (ii) allocable to Revolving Loans to prepay Fixed Rate Revolving Loans, in each case on the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of such Borrower, on any earlier date) until all outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit with respect to such Loans has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepayment Account” shall mean an account established by such Borrower with the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the



74


exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this paragraph (h). The Administrative Agent will, at the request of such Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in Permitted Investments that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Periods of the Fixed Rate Term Borrowings or Fixed Rate Revolving Borrowings to be prepaid, as the case may be; provided, however, that (A) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Administrative Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments so that the amount available to prepay Fixed Rate Borrowings on the last day of the applicable Interest Period is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the account of the applicable Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans in accordance with this Section 2.13), the Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in its Prepayment Account to secure the Obligations. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to alter the application required by Section 2.13(f).
SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank of the principal of or interest on any Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable under any Loan Document (other than changes in respect of Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the EURIBO Rate or the Bank Bill Rate, as the case may be) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market (or other relevant interbank market) any other condition affecting this Agreement or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the applicable Borrower(s) will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.



75


(b)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law (including any regarding liquidity or capital adequacy) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and calculation of, such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to any additional amount or amounts under this Section 2.14 unless and only if such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally seeking similar compensation from similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this Section 2.14), as determined by such Lender or Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. The applicable Borrower(s) shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Fixed Rate Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:
(i)    such Lender may declare that Fixed Rate Loans in the affected currency will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans and Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Fixed Rate Loans in the affected currency, whereupon any request for a Fixed Rate Borrowing in the affected currency (or to convert an ABR Borrowing or a Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan to a Fixed Rate



76


Borrowing in the affected currency or to continue a Fixed Rate Borrowing in the affected currency for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans) (or a request to continue an ABR Loan or a Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Fixed Rate Loan into an ABR Loan or a Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii)    such Lender may require that all outstanding Fixed Rate Loans in the affected currency made by it be converted to ABR Loans (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans) in which event all such Fixed Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to such ABR Loans or Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.
(iii)    In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Fixed Rate Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Fixed Rate Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or the Non-U.S. Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Fixed Rate Loans.
(b)    For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to Terex by any Lender shall be effective as to each Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Terex.
SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. Each applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense, including any break-funding cost or any loss sustained in converting between any Alternative Currency and dollars, as the case may be, that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Fixed Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any (A) Fixed Rate Loan to an ABR Loan or Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan or (B) Interest Period with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Fixed Rate Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Fixed Rate Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the applicable Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Fixed Rate Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such



77


Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, together with a reasonably detailed calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Subject to Section 2.30 and except as provided below in this Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans and as required under Section 2.15 or 2.29, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments, the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding U.S. Swingline Loan and U.S. Contract Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made U.S. Swingline Loans or U.S. Contract Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments. For purposes of determining the available Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Multicurrency Swingline Loan and Multicurrency Contract Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Multicurrency Swingline Loans or Multicurrency Contract Loans) pro rata in accordance with such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar or applicable Alternative Currency amount.
SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon shall be proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, as the case may be, and interest thereon of such other Lender, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of the principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided, however, that (a) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such



78


recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including any payment received pursuant to Section 2.15). Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document from a Payment Location in the United States or the jurisdiction of any Alternative Currency prior to (i) 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in the case of any amount payable in dollars, and (ii) 12:00 (noon), Local Time, on the date when due, in the case of any amount payable in any Alternative Currency, in each case, in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank, and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(e)) shall be made to such account as shall from time to time be specified in a writing delivered to Terex and each Borrower by the Administrative Agent. All Alternative Currency Loans hereunder shall be denominated and made, and all payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall be made, in such Alternative Currency. All Dollar Loans hereunder shall be denominated and made, and all payments of principal and interest, Fees or otherwise hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect thereof shall be made, in dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Borrower and each Lender to receive any such payment, all other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be payable in dollars.
(b)    Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
SECTION 2.20. Taxes. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank or Transferee.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party, other than any U.K. Loan Party or any Irish Loan Party, hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.19, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority in the United States, the jurisdiction of any Alternative Currency or the jurisdiction of any Payment Location, except as required by applicable law. If any Loan Party, other than any U.K. Loan Party or any Irish Loan Party, shall be required under applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any



79


other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the applicable Loan Party shall pay an additional amount (an “additional amount”) as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, each Borrower (other than any U.K. Loan Party or Irish Loan Party) agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, documentary, excise, transfer, sales, property or similar Taxes, charges or levies (including mortgage recording Taxes and similar fees) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document imposed by any Governmental Authority in the United States, the jurisdiction of any Alternative Currency or the jurisdiction of any Payment Location other than any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made at the request of any Borrower) (“Other Taxes”).
(c)    Each Loan Party (other than any U.K. Loan Party or any Irish Loan Party) will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to it (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent or a Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender makes written demand therefor.
(d)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the



80


Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e)    As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower (other than any U.K. Loan Party or Irish Loan Party) or any other Loan Party (other than any U.K. Loan Party or any Irish Loan Party) to the relevant Governmental Authority, such Borrower or such other Loan Party will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.
(f)    (i) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction (other than the United Kingdom or Ireland) in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments by such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower (including, for the avoidance of doubt, applicable Australian law, which documentation shall include such Lender’s Australian Business Number or Tax File Number or details of a relevant exemption) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, applicable Australian law) or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall deliver such documentation promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.20(f) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person holding a Loan or Commitment extended to such Borrower shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Non-U.S. Lender holding a Loan or Commitment extended to such Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:



81


(1)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4)    to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and
(C)    any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(g)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to



82


comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Loan Party or Administrative Agent (such applicable party a “Withholding Agent”), at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)    Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 or Sections 2.31 or 2.32 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its Tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).
(i)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 or Sections 2.31 or 2.32 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to such sections), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (j) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (j), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (j) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(k)    The tax indemnification obligations of the U.K. Loan Parties and the Irish Loan Parties shall be governed by Sections 2.31 and 2.32, respectively. To the extent the provisions of this Section 2.20 conflict with the provisions of Sections 2.31 or 2.32 as they relate to the U.K. Loan Parties or the Irish Loan Parties, respectively, the provisions of Sections 2.31 or 2.32 (as the case may be) shall control.



83

Terex hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans.
(a)    Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, (x) the U.S. Swingline Lender agrees to make loans, in dollars, to Terex at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all U.S. Swingline Exposure exceeding $75,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any U.S. Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the Multicurrency Swingline Lender agrees to make loans, in Dollars (in the case of each Borrower), Euro, Pounds and any other Alternative Currency (in the case of Terex, the European Borrower and the U.K. Borrower) at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Multicurrency Swingline Exposure exceeding $75,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Multicurrency Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Swingline Multiple. The Swingline Commitments may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, each applicable Borrower of Swingline Loans may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.
(b)    Swingline Loans. The applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Swingline Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, by fax, or by telephone (confirmed by fax), not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan.
(c)    Prepayment. The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax



85


notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or fax notice) to the applicable Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of prepayment at such Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified on Schedule 2.01. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.
(d)    Interest. Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a) as if it were an ABR Revolving Loan. Each Multicurrency Swingline Loan shall be a Non-U.S. Base Rate Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(b).
(e)    Participations. If the applicable Borrower does not fully repay a Swingline Loan on or prior to the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by 2:00 p.m., New York City time (by fax or by telephone, confirmed in writing), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender or U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, thereof (by fax or by telephone, confirmed in writing) and of its Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Upon such notice but without any further action, such Swingline Lender hereby agrees to grant to each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, and each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the applicable Swingline Lender, a participation in such defaulted Swingline Loan equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such defaulted Swingline Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each U.S. Swingline Loan or Multicurrency Swingline Loan, as the case may be, that is not repaid on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the applicable Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the applicable Swingline



86


Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of such Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.
SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall, upon the Restatement Effective Date and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any other person, be deemed for all purposes to have been issued by the applicable Issuing Bank as either a U.S. Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit hereunder, as set forth in Schedule 1.01(c), and (ii) any Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon an Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit for the account of the European Borrower unless such Issuing Bank is, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit in, or for the account of any Person organized under the laws of, Ireland, authorized to issue such Letter of Credit and has agreed to so issue such Letter of Credit.
(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, or such shorter period as the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, specifying whether such Letter of Credit is to be a U.S. Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount and currency (which must be dollars in the case of a U.S. Letter of Credit or an Alternative Currency in the case of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit) of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the sum of the L/C Exposure and the Additional L/C Exposure shall not exceed $400,000,000, (B) the sum of the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure and the U.S. Contract Loan Exposure shall not exceed the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, (C) the sum of the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure and the Multicurrency Contract Loan Exposure shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, (D) if the Letter of Credit is denominated in Australian Dollars, the Aggregate Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Australian Dollar Sublimit and (E) unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the aggregate outstanding L/C Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed its L/C Commitment.



87


(c)    Expiration Date. Unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date, each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date that is 24 months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and, unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the applicable Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 24 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Bank) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.
(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, deemed issuance on the Restatement Effective Date) and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit) and to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender (with respect to each Multicurrency Letter of Credit), and each such Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) in respect of such Letter of Credit forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f) and in the same currency as such L/C Disbursement. Each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit and Multicurrency Letters of Credit, respectively, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the fact that, as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure at any time might exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment at such time (in which case Section 2.13(a) would apply), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in dollars, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the Business Day that such Borrower shall have received notice from the applicable Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if such Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the Business Day that such Borrower shall have received notice from the



88


applicable Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if such Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., London time, on any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m., London time, on the immediately following Business Day.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii)    any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii)    the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, such Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv)    any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v)    payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(vi)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of an Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of each Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by an Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that an Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) an Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including



89


reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence of an Issuing Bank.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof.
(h)    Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by such Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were (i) in the case of a Dollar Loan, an ABR Revolving Loan and (ii) in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan, a Fixed Rate Revolving Loan with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(i)    Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 180 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Terex, and may be removed at any time by Terex by notice to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, Terex shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing



90


Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j)    Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (ii) to the extent and so long as on any Calculation Date (and after giving effect to any prepayment of Borrowings on such Calculation Date) the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment or the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, the applicable Borrowers shall, on the Business Day after Terex receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash in the currency determined by the Collateral Agent equal to (x) 102%, in the case of clause (i) above, and (y) 100%, in the case of clause (ii) above, of the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrowers for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph (j), such amount shall be returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent that the amount of such cash collateral held by the Collateral Agent exceeds the excess, if any, of (A) the sum of the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure over (B) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(k)    Bank Guarantees. If requested by any Borrower and agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may issue one or more bank guarantees in lieu of a Letter of Credit, in which event all references in this Agreement to Letters of Credit in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitments shall apply to each such bank guarantee, mutatis



91


mutandis; provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.23(c), if agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank, any such bank guarantee may expire later than the date that is 24 months after the date of the issuance of such bank guarantee (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such bank guarantee is cash collateralized).
SECTION 2.24. [Reserved]
SECTION 2.25. Reporting Requirements of the Issuing Banks. Within two Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, each Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall make available to any Lender upon request) a report detailing all activity during the preceding month with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including the face amount, the account party, the beneficiary and the expiration date of such Letters of Credit and any other information with respect thereto as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.26. Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement, in each case, subject to terms and conditions agreed to by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the Issuing Bank and such Lender.
SECTION 2.27. Incremental Commitments. (a)  The Borrowers may, from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments, additional U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (collectively, “Incremental Commitments”), from one or more Lenders (in the sole discretion of such Lenders) or persons who will become Lenders, in (x) an aggregate principal amount of up to $300,000,000 plus (y) an additional unlimited principal amount; provided that at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments and immediately after giving effect thereto and to the use of the proceeds thereof (assuming the full utilization thereof), (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (B) in the case of any Incremental Commitments requested in reliance on clause (y) above, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (before giving effect to any amount incurred simultaneously under clause (x) above) shall be less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 (it being agreed that if such Incremental Commitments are being incurred to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then, at Terex’s option, the conditions described in clauses (A) and, to the extent applicable, (B) may be satisfied on the date the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into); provided further that each such person, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be given or withheld within three Business Days and, if withheld, the reason therefor shall be specified in writing promptly thereafter). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount and Class of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of



92


$1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or, in minimum increments of €1,000,000 and a minimum amount of €5,000,000, in respect of commitments to make Loans denominated in Euro)), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 calendar days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be U.S. Term Loan Commitments or commitments to make Other Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Term Loan Commitments may be denominated, and Incremental Term Loans may be made, in dollars, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Euro or any other freely available currency or currencies approved by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Term Lender. Incremental Term Loans shall be Other Term Loans unless they are made to Terex as Dollar Loans and have the same terms as the U.S. Term Loans.
(b)    The applicable Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender, additional U.S. Revolving Credit Lender and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement in respect of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder; provided that, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the final maturity date of any other Class of Term Loans and (ii) the average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of any other Class of Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments evidenced thereby and any increase to the Applicable Percentages required by the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with Terex’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.27 unless, on the date of such effectiveness, (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Terex; provided that if the proceeds of the Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, (x) the condition set forth in Section 4.02(c) shall be limited to Events of Default described in paragraphs (b), (c), (g) and (h) of Article VII and (y) the reference in Section 4.02(b) to the accuracy of the representations and warranties shall refer to the accuracy of the Limited Condition Representations, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received closing certificates and documentation reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, subject to customary limited conditionality principles, if applicable.
(d)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of



93


outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis and that following the establishment of any additional Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class, the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Class are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class in accordance with their new applicable Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing of the affected Class to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Term Loan or additional Revolving Credit Commitment, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Eurocurrency Term Borrowing of the same Class on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Term Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Term Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period), or requiring a prepayment and reborrowing of Revolving Loans of the affected Class. Any conversion or prepayment made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16 (it being understood that, the Administrative Agent shall consult with Terex regarding the foregoing and, to the extent practicable, will attempt to pursue options that minimize breakage costs). In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the applicable scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.
SECTION 2.28. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)    Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize, in accordance with Section 2.23(j), the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) cash collateralize, in accordance with Section 2.23(j), the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this



94


Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans are held by the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Percentages without giving effect to Section 2.28(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.28(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    (A) The Facility Fees otherwise payable to any Defaulting Lender in respect of the unused portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be payable for so long as, and with respect to the period during which, such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.23(j).
(C)    With respect to any Facility Fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the applicable Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)     All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting



95


Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Pro Rata Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) and (c) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the applicable Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (B) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 9.24, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (A) first, prepay Swingline Loans of the applicable Class in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Class (after giving effect to any reallocation that may be partially effected under clause (iv) above), and (B) second, cash collateralize, in accordance with Section 2.23(j), the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any reallocation that may be partially effected under clause (iv) above); provided, that, any cash, or portion thereof, as applicable, provided by a Borrower as cash collateral under this clause (B) shall be promptly released and returned to the applicable Borrower upon the cessation of the circumstances giving rise to the obligation of such Borrower to provide such cash collateral under this clause (B).
(b)    If each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.28(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to



96


issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, any Borrower may enter into one or more Contract Loan Facilities with a Revolving Credit Lender; provided that (i) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Contract Loan Exposure at any time shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) the sum of the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure and the U.S. Contract Loan Exposure at any time shall not exceed the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, (iii) the sum of the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Multicurrency Contract Loan Exposure at any time shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, and (iv) the Aggregate Contract Loan Exposure at any time shall not exceed $200,000,000. A Revolving Credit Lender’s entry into a Contract Loan Facility with a Borrower, or making of Contract Loans pursuant thereto, shall not reduce availability under such Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, hereunder, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 2.17.
(b)    At least two Business Days prior to its entry into a Contract Loan Facility with a Revolving Credit Lender, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof, signed by such Borrower, that specifies the following information: (i) the Revolving Credit Lender counterparty to such Contract Loan Facility, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Contract Loan Commitment thereunder, (iii) whether the Contract Loan Commitments under such Contract Loan Facility shall be U.S. Contract Loan Commitments or Multicurrency Contract Loan Commitments, (iv) the interest rate applicable to the Contract Loans thereunder and (v) the maturity date of such Contract Loan Facility; provided that no Contract Loan shall mature on a date later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Not later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, one Business Day prior to making a borrowing under any Contract Loan Facility, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof, signed by such Borrower, that specifies (i) the amount of such borrowing and (ii) the date of such borrowing and, unless notified by the applicable Borrower prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on the proposed date of such borrowing that the request for such borrowing has been revoked or the requested Contract Loan otherwise was not made by the Lender thereunder, the available U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been used in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such requested borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the amount by which its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be deemed utilized as a result of such Contract Loan.
(c)    Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Borrower of notice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that an outstanding Contract Loan has been repaid in full, the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, deemed utilized in connection with the incurrence of such Contract Loan shall be deemed immediately available (subject in all respects to the other requirements for availability



97


under this Agreement), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class thereof; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to so notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of such availability shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s ability to make use thereof in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 2.30. Loan Modification Offers. (a)  Terex may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Terex. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment(s) and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment(s) is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five Business Days nor more than 30 days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans or Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans or Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.
(b)    Each applicable Borrower, each applicable Guarantor and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 2.30 unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation reasonably consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Restatement Agreement.
Permitted Amendments” shall mean any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the final maturity date for the applicable Loans or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) a decrease in the amortization required for the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) a change in the Applicable Percentage and/or other fees payable with respect to the applicable Loans or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iv) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Accepting Lenders, (v) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to each new “Class” of Loans resulting therefrom and (vi) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative



98


Agent and the Collateral Agent or as otherwise may be agreed upon by the parties to such Permitted Amendment, to obtain or give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.
SECTION 2.31. United Kingdom Tax Matters.
(a)    U.K. Taxes. The provisions of this Section 2.31 shall only apply in respect of the U.K. Loan Parties.
(b)    Tax Gross-Up.
(i)    Each U.K. Loan Party shall make all payments to be made by it under any Loan Document without any Tax Deduction unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
(ii)    Each U.K. Loan Party shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender, it shall promptly notify the applicable U.K. Loan Party.
(iii)    If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by any U.K. Loan Party, the amount of the payment due from such U.K. Loan Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(iv)    A payment shall not be increased under clause (iii) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom if, on the date on which the payment falls due:
(A)    The payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a U.K. Qualifying Lender but on that date the relevant Lender is not or has ceased to be a U.K. Qualifying Lender, other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or U.K. Tax Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(B)    the relevant Lender is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of clause (a)(ii) of the definition of U.K. Qualifying Lender, and:
(1)    an officer of H.M. Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the applicable U.K. Loan Party a certified copy of that Direction;



99


(2)    the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
(C)    the relevant Lender is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of clause (a)(ii) of the definition of U.K. Qualifying Lender and:
(1)    the relevant Lender has not given a U.K. Tax Confirmation; and
(2)    the payment could have been made to the Lender without any U.K. Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a U.K. Tax Confirmation, on the basis that the U.K. Tax Confirmation would have enabled the applicable U.K. Loan Party to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA; or
(D)    the relevant Lender is a U.K. Treaty Lender and the applicable U.K. Loan Party is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under clause (vii) below.
(v)    If any U.K. Loan Party is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.
(vi)    Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the applicable U.K. Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Lender that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.
(vii)    Subject to Section 2.31(b)(viii) below, where any U.K. Loan Party makes a payment to which a U.K. Treaty Lender is entitled, that U.K. Treaty Lender and such U.K. Loan Party shall cooperate and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any procedural formalities necessary for such U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.
(viii)    Nothing in Section 2.31(b)(vii) above shall require a U.K. Treaty Lender to:
(A)    register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme;
(B)    apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any advance if it has so registered; or
(C)    file applicable treaty forms if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.31(b)(xi) or Section 2.31(b)(xii) below and



100


the applicable U.K. Loan Party has not complied with its obligations under Section 2.31(b)(xiii) below.
(ix)    A U.K. NonBank Lender which becomes a party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Loan Parties by entering into this Agreement.
(x)    A U.K. NonBank Lender shall promptly notify the U.K. Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the U.K. Tax Confirmation.
(xi)    A U.K. Treaty Lender which becomes a party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to the U.K. Loan Parties) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence below its name on its signature page to this Agreement.
(xii)    A U.K. Treaty Lender which is a New Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to the U.K. Loan Parties) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement.
(xiii)    If a Lender has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.31(b)(xi) or Section 2.31(b)(xii) above, the U.K. Loan Parties shall make a Borrower DTTP2 Filing in respect of that Lender.
(xiv)    If a Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.31(b)(xi) or Section 2.31(b)(xii) above, the U.K. Loan Parties shall not file any form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Loans or its participation in any Loan.
(xv)    If a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or transfer occurs, any U.K. Loan Party would be obliged to make a payment to the transferee or the assignee under either Section 2.31(b) (Tax GrossUp) or Section 2.31(c) (Tax Indemnity), then that transferee or assignee is only entitled to receive payment under either Section 2.31(b) or Section 2.31(c) to the same extent as the transferring Lender would have been entitled to receive payment if the assignment or transfer had not occurred. This paragraph (xv) shall not apply:
(A)    in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Loans; or



101


(B)    in relation to Section 2.31(b) (Tax GrossUp), to a U.K. Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (b)(xi) or (b)(xii) of Section 2.31(b) if the applicable U.K. Loan Party has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that U.K. Treaty Lender.
(c)    Tax Indemnity.
(i)    The U.K. Loan Parties shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent) pay to a Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Lender in respect of a Loan Document.
(ii)    Section 2.31(c)(i) above shall not apply:
(A)    with respect to any Tax assessed on a Lender:
(1)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or
(2)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender’s lending office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Lender; or
(B)    to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
(1)    is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.31(b) (Tax GrossUp);
(2)    would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.31(b) (Tax GrossUp) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 2.31(b)(iv) (Tax GrossUp) applied; or
(3)    relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by any U.K. Loan Party or the Administrative Agent.
(iii)    A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 2.31(c)(i) above shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the U.K. Loan Parties.
(iv)    A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from any U.K. Loan Party under Section 2.31(c), notify the Administrative Agent.



102


(d)    Tax Credit. If any U.K. Loan Party makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that (1) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and (2) that Lender has obtained and utilized that Tax Credit, the Lender shall pay an amount to such U.K. Loan Party which that Lender reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same afterTax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by such U.K. Loan Party.
(e)    Lender Status Confirmation. Each Lender with a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment shall indicate, below its name on its signature page to the Restatement Agreement, and each New Lender with a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment shall indicate, in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a party, and in each case for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to the U.K. Loan Parties, which of the following categories it falls within:
(i)    not a U.K. Qualifying Lender;
(ii)    a U.K. Qualifying Lender (other than a U.K. Treaty Lender); or
(iii)    a U.K. Treaty Lender.
If a Lender or a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.31(e), then such Lender or New Lender (as applicable) shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the U.K. Loan Parties) as if it is not a U.K. Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category of U.K. Qualifying Lender applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the U.K. Loan Parties). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a New Lender to comply with this Section 2.31(e).
(f)    Stamp Taxes. The U.K. Loan Parties shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or liability that Lender incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document, provided that this Section 2.31(f) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under any Loan Documents, other than an assignment or transfer made at the request of any Borrower.
(g)    Value Added Tax.
(i)    All amounts expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to subsection (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, on provision of a valid VAT invoice, by the Lender to the party, that party shall



103


pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT.
(ii)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Subject Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT). The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT. Where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(iii)    Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iv)    Any reference in this Section 2.31(g) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994 or in any analogous legislation enacted in any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom).
(h)    FATCA Deduction.
(i)    A U.K. Loan Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no U.K. Loan Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.
(ii)    Each U.K. Loan Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders.



104


SECTION 2.32. Ireland Tax Matters.
(a)    Irish Taxes. The provisions of this Section 2.32 shall only apply in respect of the Irish Loan Parties.
(b)    Tax GrossUp.
(i)    All payments by an Irish Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without any Tax Deduction, provided that, if an Irish Loan Party is required by Irish law or regulation to make a Tax Deduction, it shall:
(A)    promptly upon becoming aware that the Irish Loan Party must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Irish Loan Party;
(B)    ensure that the Tax Deduction does not exceed the minimum amount legally required;
(C)    pay to the relevant Tax Authority, as appropriate, the full amount of the Tax Deduction;
(D)    furnish to the Lender, within the period for payment of a Tax Deduction permitted by the relevant law, either an official receipt of the relevant Tax Authority concerned on payment to them of amounts so deducted or withheld or, if such receipts are not issued by the Tax Authority concerned on payment to them of amounts so deducted or withheld, a certificate of deduction or equivalent evidence of the relevant Tax Deduction to the reasonable satisfaction of the relevant Lender; and
(E)    if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Irish Loan Party, the amount of the payment due from the Irish Loan Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(ii)    A payment shall not be increased under clause (b)(i)(E) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by Ireland, if on the date on which the payment falls due:
(A)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been an Irish Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Irish Tax Treaty



105


or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(B)    the relevant Lender is an Irish Treaty Lender and the Irish Loan Party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without a Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.32(c).
(iii)    Any Lender which is an Irish Qualifying Lender under paragraph (g) of the definition of Irish Qualifying Lender and which becomes a party hereto on the day on which any Loan Document is entered into confirms that it is an Irish Qualifying Lender in accordance with subclause (f) below.
(iv)    A Lender which gives a confirmation under subclause (b)(iii) above shall promptly notify the applicable Irish Loan Party and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the confirmation given by such Lender under clause (b)(iii) above.
(v)    Each Lender shall promptly inform the Administrative Agent, which shall then promptly inform the applicable Irish Loan Party, in the event that such Lender becomes aware that it has ceased to be (or becomes) an Irish Qualifying Lender or an Irish Treaty Lender as result of a change in its own circumstances (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any change by reason of a change in the Tax law or Tax treaties of any country other than the country in which that Lender is incorporated or is tax resident at the time it became a Lender under this Agreement).
(c)    Cooperation. Without prejudice to the obligations of any Irish Loan Party in Section 2.32(b) (Tax Gross-Up), an Irish Treaty Lender and the Irish Loan Party which makes a payment to which that Irish Treaty Lender is entitled, shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities, such as self-certification forms, necessary for such Irish Loan Party to obtain to make payments without a Tax Deduction.
(d)    Tax Indemnity.
(i)    Within five Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Irish Loan Party shall pay to a Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Lender determines that it has directly or indirectly suffered or will directly or indirectly suffer for or on account of Tax in respect of amounts payable to it under a Loan Document.
(ii)    Section 2.32(d)(i) shall not apply:
(A)    with respect to any Tax assessed on a Lender:
(1)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or



106


(2)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender’s lending office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Lender; or
(B)    to the extent that a loss, liability or cost:
(1)    is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.32(b) (Tax Gross-Up); or
(2)    would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.32(b)(i)(E) (Tax Gross-Up), but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in clause (ii) of Section 2.32(b) (Tax Gross-Up) applied; or
(3)    relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by the Irish Loan Party or the Administrative Agent;
(iii)    A Lender making, or intending to make, a claim under this Section 2.32(d) (Tax Indemnity), shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which has caused (or will cause) that claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Irish Loan Party.
(e)    Tax Credit. If an Irish Loan Party makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that (i) a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and (ii) that Lender has obtained and utilized that Tax Credit, the Lender shall pay an amount to such Irish Loan Party which that Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by such Irish Loan Party, and this shall, to the extent permissible by applicable law, be treated as a repayment to such Irish Loan Party.
(f)    Lender Status Confirmation. A Lender which makes a Loan to the European Borrower (or any other Borrower that is then an Irish Loan Party), and which is an Irish Qualifying Lender, within paragraph (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) only of that definition, shall deliver to the applicable Irish Loan Party a confirmation by such Lender that the person beneficially entitled to interest payable to such Lender in respect of a Loan made to such Irish Loan Party is an Irish Qualifying Lender (an “Irish Tax Confirmation”). An Irish Qualifying Lender within paragraph (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) only of that definition which becomes a party hereunder on the Restatement Effective Date shall deliver an Irish Tax Confirmation to the applicable Irish Loan Party in connection with its delivery of its signature page to this Agreement; provided that any such Lender that has previously delivered to the applicable Irish Loan Party an Irish Tax Confirmation pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, which Irish Tax Confirmation



107


remains accurate, shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirement. If, following an assignment, or transfer or a participation (in the latter case, in circumstances where the Participant wishes, in accordance with Section 9.04(f) to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 of a Lender’s rights or obligations hereunder), an Irish Qualifying Lender within paragraph (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) only of that definition becomes a party hereunder or becomes a Participant after the day on which this Agreement is entered into, such Lender or Participant shall deliver an Irish Tax Confirmation to Terex and the applicable Irish Loan Party on or prior to becoming a party hereunder. An Irish Qualifying Lender, within paragraph (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) only of that definition, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, Terex and the applicable Irish Loan Party if there is any change in the position from that set out in any relevant Irish Tax Confirmation. If a Lender or a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.32(f), then such Lender or New Lender (as applicable) shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the applicable Irish Loan Parties) as if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category of Irish Qualifying Lender applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the applicable Irish Loan Party). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a New Lender to comply with this Section 2.32(f). A Lender, upon request from an Irish Loan Party from time to time, shall as soon as reasonably practicable provide such information as may be required for the purposes of Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G TCA (and any regulations made thereunder).
(g)    Stamp Taxes. The applicable Irish Loan Party shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or liability the Lender incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document, provided that this Section 2.32(g) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under any Loan Documents, other than an assignment or transfer made at the request of any Borrower.
(h)    VAT.
(i)    All amounts expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to subsection (h)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, on provision of a valid VAT invoice, by the Lender to the party, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT.
(ii)     If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Subject Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (where the



108


Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT). The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT. Where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(iii)    Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iv)    Any reference in this Section 2.32(h) to any Person shall, at any time when such Person is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning, in Ireland, as the group member notified by the Revenue Commissioners in accordance with section 15(1)(a)(i) VATCA as being the member responsible for complying with the provisions of that Act in respect of the group or the equivalent meaning under relevant VAT legislation where such legislation uses a term other than “representative member”).
(v)    In relation to any supply made by a Lender to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender, that party must promptly provide such Lender with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(i)    FATCA Deduction.
(i)    Each Irish Loan Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Irish Loan Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.
(ii)    Each party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Lender to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify the other Loan Parties.

SECTION 2.33. Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request the establishment hereunder of (i) a new Class of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”), which may include any existing Lender (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion), will make revolving loans to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers (“Refinancing Revolving Loans”) and acquire participations in the applicable Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the “Refinancing Term Loan Commitments”), pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the applicable Borrowers (the “Refinancing Term Loans”); provided that (A) each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Lender shall not be an Ineligible Assignee and shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (B) each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall be subject to the approval of each applicable Issuing Bank and each applicable Swingline Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), in each case, to the extent such consent, if any, would be required pursuant to Section 9.04 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Refinancing Revolving Lender and such Refinancing Term Lender, as applicable.
(b)    The Borrowers and each Refinancing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Refinancing Facility Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Refinancing Commitments of each Refinancing Lender. Such Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Commitments established thereby and the Refinancing Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable: (i) the designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder, (ii) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class; provided that such stated termination and maturity dates shall not be earlier than (x) the Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments being so refinanced (in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) or (y) the Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the applicable Class of Term Loans being so refinanced (in the case of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans), (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans; provided that the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the applicable Class of Term Loans being so refinanced, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto, (vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such Class, (viii) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class (which prepayment requirements, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, may provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans, but may not provide for prepayment requirements that are more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than to the Lenders holding the Term Loans so



110


refinanced) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class and (ix) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, the Alternative Currencies, if any, available thereunder. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially the same as the terms of the U.S. Term Loan Commitments and the U.S. Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Facility Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Facility Agreement (including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder).
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Refinancing Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.33 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) and (c) shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Terex, (ii) the Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective Date, (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding thereunder, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that, with the written consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank may continue to be outstanding under the Refinancing Revolving Commitments), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments does not exceeded the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so terminated and (iv) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the applicable Borrower shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings of any Class in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Borrowings and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) (and any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.11 on a pro rata basis).

(b)    No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.
SECTION 3.12. Investment Company Act. Neither Terex nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

114


the Restatement Effective 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 Terex, the repayment or other retirement of Indebtedness and the financing of Permitted Acquisitions, in each case, to the extent permitted hereunder).
SECTION 3.14. Tax Returns. Each of Terex and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and material state, local and non-U.S. Tax returns required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes shown as due on such Tax returns and all assessments received by it (in each case giving effect to applicable extensions), except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which Terex or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP.
SECTION 3.15. No Material Misstatements. None of (a) the Lender Presentation or (b) any other information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not materially misleading; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, such Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions believed by it to be reasonable and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule.
SECTION 3.16. Employee Benefit Plans
. (a)  Each of Terex and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of December 31, 2020, exceed the fair market value of the assets of each Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) did not, as of December 31, 2020, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans, in each case, by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Each Non-U.S. Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Non-U.S. Pension Plan, none of Terex, its Affiliates or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction which would subject Terex or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Non-U.S. Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance



115


with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Non-U.S. Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Non-U.S. Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; the present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Non-U.S. Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Non-U.S. Pension Plan) did not, as of December 31, 2020, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such Non-U.S. Pension Plans, by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened against Terex or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Non-U.S. Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.17. Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17:
(a)    the properties owned, leased or operated by each of Terex and its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain any Hazardous Materials in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute, or constituted a violation of, (ii) require Remedial Action under, or (iii) could give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws, which violations, Remedial Actions and liabilities, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(b)    the Properties and all operations of each of Terex and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects, and in the last five years have been in compliance, with all Environmental Laws, and all necessary Environmental Permits have been obtained and are in effect, except to the extent that such non-compliance or failure to obtain any necessary permits, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(c)    there have been no Releases or threatened Releases at, from, under or proximate to the Properties or otherwise in connection with the current or former operations of Terex or its Subsidiaries, which Releases or threatened Releases, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(d)    neither Terex nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of an Environmental Claim in connection with the Properties or the current or former operations of Terex or such Subsidiaries or with regard to any person whose liabilities for environmental matters Terex or such Subsidiaries has retained or assumed, in whole or in part, contractually, by operation of law or otherwise, which, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor do Terex or its Subsidiaries have reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; and
(e)    Hazardous Materials have not been transported from the Properties, nor have Hazardous Materials been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in a manner that could give rise to liability under any Environmental Law, nor have Terex or its Subsidiaries retained or assumed any liability, contractually, by operation of law or otherwise, with respect to the generation, treatment, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, which liabilities, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.



116


SECTION 3.18. Insurance. Schedule 3.18 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all material insurance maintained by Terex or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Restatement Effective Date. As of such date, such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums have been duly paid. Each of Terex and its Restricted Subsidiaries has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are in accordance with normal industry practice.
SECTION 3.19. Security Documents. (a)  The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and the proceeds thereof and (i) when the Pledged Stock (other than Uncertificated Foreign Securities, Uncertificated Limited Liability Company Interests and Uncertificated Partnership Interests) and the Pledged Debt Securities (as each such term is defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) are delivered to the Collateral Agent together with the proper endorsements, the Lien created under Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Pledged Stock and Pledged Debt Securities to the extent that the laws of the United States or any state thereof govern the creation and perfection of any such security interest, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Lien or right of any other person, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a) and all applicable filing fees have been paid, the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Collateral (other than Intellectual Property, as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) to the extent such security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Lien or right of any other person, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 which by operation of law or contract have priority over the Liens securing the Obligations.
(b)    With respect to the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which Terex, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Collateral Agent have agreed that the Collateral Agent may record the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or a short-form security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Terex and the Collateral Agent) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office (the “Perfection Intellectual Property”), as applicable, upon the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the recordation of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or such short-form security agreement) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and the payment of all applicable fees, together with the financing statements in appropriate form filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a), the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the Perfection Intellectual Property shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Perfection Intellectual Property to the extent that a security interest may be perfected by filing in the United States and its territories and possessions, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person.



117


(c)    The Mortgages, upon the execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Collateral Agent, subject to the exceptions listed in each insurance policy covering such Mortgage, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages referred to in Section 3.04(b) are recorded in the offices specified in Schedule 3.19(c) and all applicable fees have been paid, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Property and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, other than with respect to the rights of persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 which by operation of law or contract would have priority over the Liens securing the Obligations.
SECTION 3.20. Location of Material Owned Real Property. Schedule 3.20 lists completely and correctly as of the Restatement Effective Date all Material Owned Real Property and the addresses thereof. Terex and the Subsidiary Guarantors own in fee all the real property set forth on Schedule 3.20.
SECTION 3.21. Labor Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.21, as of the Restatement Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Terex or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of Terex and its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or non-U.S. law dealing with such matters, which violations, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from Terex or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against Terex or any such Restricted Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Terex or such Restricted Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which Terex or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound on the Restatement Effective Date.
SECTION 3.22. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Restatement Effective Date.
SECTION 3.23. Sanctions, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Bribery Laws. (a) (i) None of the Borrowers, any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers nor, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any agent, employee or Affiliate of any of the

foregoing is (A) a Person on the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” or any other sanctions list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Treasury Department (“OFAC”) or the European Union, (B) the subject of any sanctions administered by OFAC, the U.S. State Department, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury, the United Nations or other relevant sanctions authority, including sanctions that prohibit all or substantially all imports and exports between the United States of America and another country, region or territory (currently Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) (collectively, “Sanctions”), (C) located in, or organized under the laws of, any country, region or territory that is the subject of any country-, region- or territory-wide Sanctions except to the extent such presence is permitted pursuant to applicable law, or (D) more than 50% owned by any Person that is the subject of Sanctions.
(ii)    The Borrowers will not directly or, to their knowledge, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or any Contract Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person, or request the issuance of any Letter of Credit, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person, in any country, region or territory, that is subject to any country-, region- or territory-wide Sanctions or for any other purpose or in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any person (including any person participating in the Loans, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise).

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”). Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, and each assignee of any such Lender or Issuing Bank, hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take such actions on behalf of such Lender, Issuing Bank or assignee and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and (i) the Program Receivables and (ii) assets (including loans, leases, chattel paper and other obligations) sold by Terex Financial Services in the ordinary course of its business and, in each case, the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or



143


percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Terex or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (“Related Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and Terex. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from



144


its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by Terex to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Terex and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.
With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agents and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.
Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the sum of its aggregate available Commitments and outstanding Loans hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including reasonable counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by any Borrower (and without limiting any such Borrower’s obligation to do so) and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party (and without limiting any such Borrower’s or any such Loan Party’s obligation to do so); provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse each of the Issuing Banks and their directors, employees and agents, in each case, to the same extent and subject to the same limitations as provided above for the Agents.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by



145


the Agents on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in such proceeding.
If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If a Payment Recipient receives any payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise and does not receive a corresponding payment notice or payment advice, such payment, prepayment or repayment shall be presumed to be in error absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary.



146


Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding paragraph or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
For so long as an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) has not been returned by any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”) to the Administrative Agent after demand therefor in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII, (i) the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion on written notice to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, that all rights and claims of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party with respect to the Loans or other Obligations owed to such Person up to the amount of the corresponding Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency in respect of such Erroneous Payment (the “Corresponding Loan Amount”) shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent upon such election; after such election, the Administrative Agent (x) may reflect its ownership interest in Loans in a principal amount equal to the Corresponding Loan Amount in the Register, and (y) upon five Business Days’ written notice to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, may sell such Loan (or portion thereof) in respect of the Corresponding Loan Amount, and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf), and (ii) each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold such Loan, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party with respect to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (such rights, the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”). For the avoidance of doubt, no vesting or sale pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
No Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and each hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Article VIII with respect to the making of any Erroneous Payment shall survive the resignation or replacement of the



147


Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Joint Bookrunners is named as such for recognition purposed only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint Bookrunners shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Joint Bookrunners in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other person.

Each Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent, that it will, or will cause the Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (a) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a notice pursuant to Section 2.10 or a notice requesting the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.23, (b) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (c) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (d) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent.
Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on SyndTrak, Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Terex or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Terex or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.17); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Terex notifies the Administrative Agent reasonably in advance of the intended distribution that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) notification of changes in the terms of the credit facilities provided for herein.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may



149


contain material non-public information with respect to Terex or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or state securities laws.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement
. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Additional L/C Facility is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit or Additional Letter of Credit is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated.

(b)    Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than any Ineligible Assignee) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or the Agents or an Affiliate of such Lender or the Agents or an Approved Fund (unless the proposed assignment is of a Revolving Credit Commitment), (x) Terex (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Banks and the applicable Swingline Lender) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood and agreed that Terex’s withholding of consent to any assignment to a competitor of Terex or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld, and that Terex shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof)) and (y) the amount of the Commitment or Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans, as applicable); provided that contemporaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of determining such minimum amount, (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms. For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” shall mean, with respect to any Lender that is a fund or other entity that invests in bank loans, any other fund or other entity that invests in bank loans which is managed or advised by the same investment advisor/manager as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such



151


investment advisor/manager. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof (or such earlier date to which the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 2.31, 2.32 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).
(c)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is not an Ineligible Assignee and that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee represents and warrants that it is not the subject of any Sanctions; (v) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (vi) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks



152


the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of Terex, the applicable Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
(f)    (i) Each Lender may without the consent of any Borrower, any Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 2.31 and 2.32 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation) and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participant bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participant bank or person has an interest, releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral or increasing or extending the Commitments).
(ii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a



153


participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(g)    Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of Information (as defined in Section 9.17) which Information is confidential pursuant to Section 9.17, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.17.
(h)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(i)    No Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, (i) any SPC may (x) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity



154


and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (y) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC, and (ii) the protections afforded to any SPC pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.04(j) may not be amended or modified without the written consent of such SPC.
(k)    In the event that (i) any Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or (ii) S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s BankWatch (or Insurance Watch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the longterm certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) (or, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, any Issuing Bank shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of any such Revolving Credit Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Revolving Credit Lender), then each Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace (or to request Terex to use its reasonable efforts to replace) such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the applicable Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or any portion of its Term Loans to Terex or the applicable Borrower, and (ii) Terex or the applicable Borrower may, from time to time, purchase Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auction procedures open to all Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between Terex and the Administrative Agent or (y) open market purchases; provided that in connection with any assignment and purchase pursuant to this Section 9.04(l):
(A)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such assignment or shall result therefrom;
(B)    any Term Loans purchased by a Borrower shall, without further action by any person, be deemed canceled and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (i) the making of, or the application of, any payments



155


to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) any determination of the Required Lenders (it being understood and agreed that (x) any gains or losses by Terex upon any such purchase and cancelation of Term Loans shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow, Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA and (y) any such purchase of Loans pursuant to this Section 9.04(l) shall not constitute a Voluntary Prepayment of Loans for purposes of this Agreement but, if made pursuant to Dutch auction procedures as described above, shall reduce the remaining scheduled amortization payments for the Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.11(a) ratably);
(C)    the purchasing Borrower shall not have any material non-public information that either (i) has not been disclosed in writing to the assigning Lender (other than any such Lender that does not wish to receive material non-public information) on or prior to the date of any assignment to the purchasing Borrower or initiation of a Dutch auction by the purchasing Borrower or (ii) if not disclosed to such Lender, could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, (x) such Lender’s decision to make such assignment or (y) the market price of the Term Loans, in each case except to the extent that such Lender has entered into a customary “big boy” letter with the purchasing Borrower;
(D)    the assigning Lender and the purchasing Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrower Purchase Assignment and Acceptance in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance; and
(E)    no proceeds from Revolving Loans or Contract Loans shall be used to fund any such purchase of Term Loans.
In connection with any Term Loans purchased and canceled pursuant to this Section 9.04(l), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancelation.
(m)    The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) where this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits thereto) or any Assignment and Acceptance would otherwise operate as an assignment of a debt due from the Australian Borrower, there shall not be an assignment of such debt; (ii) the transaction shall for all purposes take effect as a loan under this Agreement to the Australian Borrower made by the Lender which, but for this clause, would have been an assignee of such debt (“Incoming Lender”) of an amount equal to the outstanding debt which would, but for this clause, have been assigned; (iii) the Australian Borrower shall for all purposes be treated by the parties hereto as having directed the Incoming Lender to pay the amount of that loan to the Lender, which but for this clause, would have been the assignor of such debt; (iv) all references in this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and any Assignment and Acceptance will be construed accordingly; and (v) to the extent that the assignment also operates to assign any rights or interests which are not a debt due from the Australian Borrower, the assignment shall, to that extent, take effect in accordance with its terms.



156


SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a)  Terex agrees to pay all (i) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Affiliate of the foregoing persons in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and a firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Joint Bookrunners, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, as applicable, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel and one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for such parties 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)).
(b)    Terex agrees to indemnify the Joint Bookrunners, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender (including the Swingline Lenders), each Issuing Bank, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, members, partners and advisors (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel and one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel) for each of the Joint Bookrunners, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and one firm of counsel and one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one special counsel) for all of the Lenders taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each affected Indemnitee) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by a Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or equityholders, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials on any Properties, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) any dispute solely among Indemnitees and not arising out of any act or omission of a Borrower or any of its



157


Affiliates (other than any proceeding against any Indemnitee solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender, Joint Bookrunner or any similar role with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Section 9.05(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(d)    The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.28 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify Terex and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.



158


SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a)  No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Except as expressly provided by Section 2.27 or 2.30 or in the other paragraphs of this Section 9.08, and subject to Section 9.19, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or, in the case of (i) the Financial Covenants and any related provisions hereof (solely as they relate to the Financial Covenants), (ii) amendments or modifications to the definition of “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” or (iii) waivers of any condition precedent to any Revolving Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees or any other amount due and payable hereunder to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) subject to Sections 2.30 and 9.04(l), amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the sharing provisions of Section 2.18, the provisions of Section 9.04(i), the provisions of this Section 9.08, or release Terex as a Guarantor, all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees or all or substantially all of the



159


Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(j) without the written consent of such SPC, (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, or impose additional material restrictions on the ability of the Lenders to assign their rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitments on the date hereof), or (vii) change the currency in which any Commitment or Loan is denominated, without the prior written consent of each Lender of the affected Class; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of Terex, each applicable Borrower, each applicable Guarantor and the Accepting Lenders, this Agreement (including Section 2.17) may be amended to the extent expressly contemplated by Section 2.30. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Section 9.19, no Secured Party shall have any voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in its capacity as an Additional L/C Issuing Bank or Contract Loan Revolving Lender.
(c)    The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period.
SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.



160


SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto, the respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.05(b)) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)    The obligations of each party in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum



162


originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all financial statements, certificates, reports, agreements and information (including all analyses, compilations and studies prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender based on any of the foregoing) that are received from any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and related to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any shareholder of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any employee, customer or supplier of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any of the foregoing that were available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure thereto by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and which are in the case of Information provided after the Restatement Effective Date, either financial information or clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

SECTION 9.18. European Monetary Union. If, as a result of the implementation of European monetary union, (a) any currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro, then any amount payable hereunder by



163


any party hereto in such currency shall instead be payable in Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such currency to Euro at the exchange rate recognized by the European Central Bank for the purpose of integrating such currency into the Euro, or (b) any currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by the central bank or comparable authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation, then (i) any Loan made at such time shall be made in Euro and (ii) any other amount payable by any party hereto in such currency shall be payable in such currency or in Euro (in an amount determined as set forth in clause (a)), at the election of the obligor. Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any currency will continue to be payable only in that currency. Each Borrower agrees, at the request of the Required Lenders, at the time of or at any time following the integration of any additional currency into the Euro, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the Required Lenders shall reasonably request in order to avoid any unfair burden or disadvantage resulting therefrom and to place the parties hereto in the position they would have been in had such integration not occurred, the intent being that neither party will be adversely affected economically as a result of such integration and that reasonable provisions may be adopted to govern the borrowing, maintenance and repayment of Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency after the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence.
SECTION 9.19. Rights of Additional L/C Issuing Banks and Contract Loan Revolving Lenders. Without the consent of each Additional L/C Issuing Bank or each Revolving Credit Lender that has an outstanding Contract Loan Commitment or Contract Loan (each such Revolving Credit Lender, a “Contract Loan Revolving Lender”), the Borrowers and the Lenders shall not enter into, consent to or approve of any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document if, as a result of such amendment, waiver or modification, (a) any Additional L/C Issuing Bank or Contract Loan Revolving Lender, as applicable, would no longer be entitled to its ratable share in the benefits of the Collateral, (b) all or substantially all of the Collateral would be released or (c) all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Loan Documents would be released, and any such attempted amendment, modification or waiver shall be null and void. Each Additional L/C Issuing Bank and each Contract Loan Revolving Lender shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 9.19 and shall be deemed to have issued Additional Letters of Credit or made Contract Loans, as applicable, in reliance on this Section 9.19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, no Additional L/C Issuing Bank or, except as provided in the definition of Required Lenders, Contract Loan Revolving Lender shall have any right to notice of any action or, subject to the first sentence of this Section 9.19, to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents, the Joint Bookrunners and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 9.21. USA PATRIOT Act Notice; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), it is required to (a) obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and (b) obtain a certification regarding beneficial ownership of the Borrowers, to the extent required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.27. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender



168


shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
