SECTION 2.2. Authorization; Enforceability. (a) Bucyrus has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Stockholders
-2-
Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(b) This Agreement constitutes, and the Stockholders Agreement when executed and delivered will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of Bucyrus, enforceable against Bucyrus in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or Law).
SECTION 2.3. Non-Contravention; Consents. (a) The execution, delivery and performance by Bucyrus of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or comparable organizational documents of Bucyrus or any Subsidiary thereof; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect to, any term or provision of any contract, commitment, right or other obligation to which Bucyrus, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates is a Party or is subject; or (iii) violate or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any Law or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Bucyrus or any Subsidiary thereof is subject, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), for violations, breaches, conflicts, defaults, terminations, cancellations or accelerations as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Bucyrus Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require any consent, authorization or approval from any third party or any Governmental Authority on the part of Bucyrus or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(a) As of December 31, 2009, the authorized capital stock of Bucyrus consisted of 200,000,000 shares of Bucyrus Stock, of which there were 75,096,761 shares issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which there are no shares issued or outstanding. All outstanding shares of Bucyrus Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2009 were duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

The issue and sale of the Consideration Shares
-3-
will not obligate Bucyrus to issue shares of Bucyrus Stock or other securities to any Person (other than Terex) and will not result in a right of any holder of Bucyrus securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any option, right or warrant to acquire (or any similar instrument), or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, Bucyrus Stock.
SECTION 2.5. Bucyrus Stock. The Consideration Shares will be, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, right of first refusal or other restrictions of any kind, other than as created by the Stockholders Agreement.

All such required forms, reports and documents (including those that Bucyrus may file subsequent to the date hereof) are referred to herein as the “Bucyrus SEC Reports”.

Except for Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., whose fees and expenses will be paid by Terex, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Terex.

-7-
indefinitely, and the balance of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive for 18 months after the Closing Date.

(b) In the event of a merger or consolidation of Bucyrus into another company prior to the Closing as a result of which the outstanding Bucyrus Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities and/or other property or assets of the surviving corporation Terex, rather than being entitled to the Consideration Shares, will be entitled to receive at the Closing the kind and amount of securities and/or other property or assets of the surviving corporation that Terex would have received in respect of the Consideration Shares had it acquired the Consideration Shares immediately prior to the record date for determining the holders of Bucyrus Stock entitled to receive such securities and/or other property or assets in respect of such merger or consolidation.
SECTION 4.5. Further Assurances. Each Party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and execute and delivery such documents and other papers, as reasonably requested by the other Party and necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, satisfying the conditions set forth under Article V hereof.
