(b) Nothing contained in Section 4.01(a) shall (i) impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any other agreement entered into between the Parties, in each case in accordance with their terms, or any right arising in the ordinary course of business between the Parties, (ii) release any Person from any Liability under or pursuant to (A) this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any other agreement entered into between the Parties before or after the Separation or incurred in the ordinary course of business, or (B) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person not otherwise intended to be released pursuant to this Section 4.01, or (iii) affect the indemnification obligations of the Parties under Article X of Limited Liability Company Agreement of ASV, as in effect on the date on which the event or circumstances giving rise to such indemnification obligation occur.

Section 4.02 Indemnification by ASV. Subject to Section 4.04, ASV shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manitex, Terex and each other member of the Manitex Group and the Terex Group and each of their respective former and current managers, directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Manitex-Terex Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Manitex-Terex Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from (i) any ASV Liability, including the failure of ASV or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any ASV Liability in accordance with its terms, and (ii) any breach by ASV of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which shall be controlling).

Section 4.03 Indemnification by Manitex and Terex. Subject to Section 4.04, Manitex and Terex shall each indemnify, defend and hold harmless ASV and its former and current

managers, directors, officers and employees, and the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “ASV Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the ASV Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from (i) any Manitex or Terex Liability, respectively, including the failure of such Party or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any such Liability in accordance with its terms, and (ii) any breach by such Party of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which shall be controlling).

Section 4.04 Indemnification Obligations Net of Third-Party Proceeds. The amount that any Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee from any third party with respect to such Liability (including any insurance proceeds), net of any applicable premium adjustments, costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof and any taxes resulting from the receipt thereof (“Third-Party Proceeds”). If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Third-Party Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if such Third-Party Proceeds had been received before the Indemnity Payment was made.

Section 4.05 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party reasonable written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this ARTICLE IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 calendar days after receipt of notice from an Indemnitee (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that (i) the defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, affect the Indemnitee or any of its controlled affiliates in a materially adverse manner and (ii) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages (the conditions set forth in this proviso, the “Litigation Condition”). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim (or is not permitted to assume the defense due to the Litigation Condition), or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election, such Indemnitee may defend such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects (and is permitted) to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitees shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects (and is permitted) to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any additional legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if (i) the Litigation Condition ceases to be met or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. In the event, however, that such Indemnitee reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee could reasonably be expected to present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnitee may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(d) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the applicable Indemnitee or Indemnitees; provided, however, that such Indemnitee(s) shall be required to consent to entry of judgment or to such settlement that (i) contains no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) involves only monetary relief which the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay and (iii) includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee.

(e) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 4.06 Additional Matters.

(a) Any claim on account of a Liability that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 calendar days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(c) In the event of an Action relating to a Liability that has been allocated to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if the Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant or add the Indemnifying Party as an additional named defendant, if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all reasonable costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts, fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

Section 4.07 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this ARTICLE IV shall be exclusive and, subject to the provisions of ARTICLE VII, shall preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 4.08 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of ASV, Manitex and Terex and their respective Indemnitees under this ARTICLE IV shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 4.09 Limitation on Liability. Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, none of ASV, Manitex, Terex or any other member of the Manitex Group or Terex Group shall in any event have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other ASV Indemnitee or Manitex-Terex Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (i) with respect to any matter to the extent that such Party seeking indemnification has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith or (ii) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4.09 (ii) shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third party not affiliated with ASV or any member of the Manitex Group or the Terex Group for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

Person or Persons in its Group, and subject to Section 5.01(b), each of ASV and Manitex and Terex, on behalf of its respective Group, shall provide to the other Party, at any time after the Separation, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, reasonable access to the documents and employees of such Party, which the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing, notification or other requirements imposed by any law, national securities exchange or by any governmental authority, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other Action or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

No Party shall have any Liability to the other Parties for any information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement, in the absence of willful misconduct.

(b) In the event that any of the Parties reasonably determines that the exchange of any Information pursuant to Section 5.01(a) could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, such Party shall not be required to provide such access to the other Party; provided, however, that each of the Parties shall take all commercially reasonable measures to permit compliance with Section 5.01(a) in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. Each of the Parties intends that any provision of access pursuant to this Section 5.01 that would otherwise be within the ambit of any legal privilege shall not operate as waiver of such privilege.

(c) Each of ASV, Manitex and Terex agrees, on behalf of itself and each member of the Group of which it is a member, as applicable, not to disclose or otherwise waive any privilege or protection attaching to any privileged Information relating to a member of the other Group or relating to or arising in connection with the relationship between the Groups prior to the Separation, without providing prompt written notice to and obtaining the prior written consent of the other (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) With respect to any Liability accrued and/or incurred by ASV prior to the Separation Date, Manitex shall provide ASV with access to the Manitex Insurance Policies if and solely to the extent that the terms of such policies provide for such coverage to ASV with respect to any Liabilities accrued or incurred by ASV prior to the Separation Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses. ASV shall report any potential claims under Manitex Insurance Policies as soon as practicable to Manitex and Manitex shall determine whether and at what time to report and make any such claims. If and to the extent that ASV is the sole entity recovering proceeds under one or more Manitex Insurance Policies in respect of a particular claim, ASV shall exclusively be responsible for any costs relating to such Manitex Insurance Policy, including any amounts of deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, claim handling and administrative costs, as well as for any applicable increase in Manitex’s future premiums for the coverage provided by such policy.

(c) Each of Manitex and ASV shall, and Manitex shall cause each member of the Manitex Group to, cooperate and assist ASV and the applicable member of the Manitex Group, as applicable, with respect to such claims. In connection with making any joint claim under any Manitex Insurance Policy Manitex shall control the administration of all such claims, including the timing of any assertion and pursuit of coverage. In the event that any insurance claims of both Manitex and ASV for any Liability accrued and/or incurred prior to the Separation Date exist relating to the same occurrence, both Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. In the event of any Action by either ASV or Manitex (or both) to recover or obtain insurance proceeds, or to defend against any Action by an insurance carrier to deny any benefits under an insurance policy, both Parties may join in any such Action and be represented by joint counsel and both Parties shall waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to conduct any such Action.

Section 8.02 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Party at any time, in its sole discretion, prior to the Separation. In the event of any termination of this Agreement prior to the Separation, none of the Parties (nor any of its directors or officers) shall have any Liability or further obligation to any other Party under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 8.03 Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power.

(ii) this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been (or, in the case of any Ancillary Agreement, will be on or prior to the Separation Date) duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes, or will constitute, a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

(c) Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of any court located in the State of Michigan (or, solely if such court declines jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Michigan) over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 8.05 Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Parties. No assignment permitted by this Section 8.05 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any ASV Indemnitee or Manitex-Terex Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 8.08 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 8.09 Publicity. Each Party shall consult with the other Parties, and shall, subject to the requirements of Section 5.03, provide the other Parties the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press releases or other public statements in connection with the Separation or the Initial Public Offering or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and any filings with any governmental authority or national securities exchange with respect thereto, in each case prior to the issuance or filing thereof, as applicable (including the Registration Statement and the Parties’ respective Current Reports on Form 8-K to be filed in connection with the Initial Public Offering).

Section 8.10 Expenses. All fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the Separation or the Initial Public Offering, as applicable, will be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Separation or the Initial Public Offering is consummated, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.

Section 8.11 Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants in this Agreement and the liabilities for the breach of any obligations in this Agreement shall survive the Separation and the Initial Public Offering, as applicable, and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 8.12 Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement 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 right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Parties of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

Section 8.13 Specific Performance. Subject to Section 8.01 and notwithstanding the procedures set forth in ARTICLE VII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party(ies) shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The other Party(ies) shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that money damages are an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived.

Section 8.14 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party.

Section 8.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTIES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTIES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH OF THE PARTIES UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH OF THE PARTIES MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH OF THE PARTIES HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 8.15.
