transactions. Borrowers, Lenders, Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and
Documentation Agent have agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit
Agreement and grant certain consents under the Credit Agreement, each as set
forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
In consideration of the foregoing and the premises and the agreements

subsection (h) is deleted, and the following subsection (i) is inserted prior to
the period at the end of such definition:
", and (i) any amount paid by a Purchaser to a Securitization
Subsidiary in connection with a Securitization"
19. Amended Section 9.1(g) (Limitations on Debt). Section 9.1(g) of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended so that the reference to "Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000)" is replaced by "Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)".
20. Amended Section 9.6(d) (Limitations on Sales of Assets). Section
9.6(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
set forth below:
(d) either: (i) the sale or discount without recourse of
accounts receivable which arose in the ordinary course of business or
(ii) the sale of Receivables, Related Security and Related Assets in
connection with Securitizations, in each case as defined in and to the
extent permitted by any consent or waiver by the Required Lenders
relating thereto; provided, however, that the aggregate face amount of
outstanding accounts receivable sold or discounted under clause (i)
above, plus Debt outstanding in connection with Securitizations
permitted under clause (ii) above, shall not exceed in the aggregate at
any time One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000); provided further,
however, that for purposes of clause (i) above (but not clause (ii)),
"outstanding" means those sold or discounted accounts receivable which
are by their terms not due;
21. Additional Section 10.1(q) (Sale/Leaseback or Securitization
Cross-Default). The following new Section 10.1(q) is hereby added to the Credit
Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:
(q) Sale/Leaseback or Securitization Cross-Default. Any
Borrower or any Subsidiary shall (i) default in the payment of any Debt
in connection with an Equipment Sale/Leaseback, Rental Fleet
Sale/Leaseback or Securitization transaction beyond the period of grace
if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Debt
was created or (ii) default in the observance or performance of any
other agreement or condition relating to any Debt in connection with an
Equipment Sale/Leaseback, Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback or Securitization
transaction or
3
4
contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or
relating thereto or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the
effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to
permit the holder or holders of such Debt (or a trustee or agent on
behalf of such holder or holders) to cause, with the giving of notice
if required, any such Debt to become due prior to its stated maturity
(any applicable grace period having expired).
22. Consents and Waivers in connection with Sale/Leaseback
Transactions. Borrowers have entered into and/or have informed Administrative
Agent of their intent to enter into two types of sale/leaseback transactions.
The first type is a lease arrangement whereby the Borrowers sell certain
manufacturing and other equipment of the Borrowers to a lessor and lease back
such equipment (an "Equipment Sale/Leaseback); the second type is a lease
arrangement where the Borrowers will sell a pool of rental equipment to a lessor
and lease back such equipment (a "Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback"). The following
consents and waivers are intended to permit Equipment Sale/Leaseback and Rental
Fleet Sale/Leaseback transactions as and to the extent, and subject to the
conditions, set forth below:
1. Section 9.1 (Limitations on Debt). Section 9.1 of the Credit
Agreement prohibits the Borrowers from incurring additional Debt except to the
extent set forth in the exceptions described therein. Equipment Sale/Leaseback
and Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback transactions violate or may violate Section 9.1
of the Credit Agreement. Lenders hereby consent to the Borrowers' incurrence of
Debt in connection with Equipment Sale/Leaseback and Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback
transactions; provided, however, that: (i) in connection with an Equipment
Sale/Leaseback, the transaction is limited to the equipment placed in service
not more than six months prior to the effective date of such Equipment
Sale/Leaseback; (ii) the amount of Debt outstanding in connection with Equipment
Sale/Leaseback transactions (including without limitation the January 28, 2000
transaction between JLG and SunTrust Leasing Corporation for the sale and
leaseback of the Torrid Powder Finishing System located at JLG's paint facility
at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania) shall be applied to reduce the 20% of Net Worth
basket set forth in Section 9.1(h) of the Credit Agreement; and (iii) the amount
of Debt outstanding in connection with Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback transactions,
either singly or in the aggregate, shall not exceed 15% of Net Worth of JLG and
its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (as set forth on the most recently
delivered financial statements by Borrowers to the Lenders), and such amount of
Debt : (A) shall be equivalent to the sale price to the lessor of such equipment
sold, less any lease amortization, in accordance with GAAP and (B) shall not be
applied to reduce the 20% of Net Worth basket set forth in Section 9.1(h) of the
Credit Agreement.
2. Section 9.3 (Limitations on Liens). Section 9.3 of the Credit
Agreement prohibits Borrowers from incurring Liens on any of their assets except
to the extent set forth in the exceptions described therein. Equipment
Sale/Leaseback and Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback transactions violate or may
violate Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement because
4
5
the lessor would have an effective lien on: (i) the Borrowers' assets
transferred to the lessor as part of the Equipment Sale/Leaseback or Rental
Fleet Sale/Leaseback transaction, and (ii) in connection with a Rental Fleet
Sale/Leaseback transaction, the lessor would also have a lien on the Borrowers'
accounts, proceeds of accounts, lease agreements and lease payments related to
such assets (collectively, the "Transferred Assets"). Lenders hereby consent to
Borrowers' incurrence of Liens on their Transferred Assets in connection with
either Equipment Sale/Leaseback or Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback transactions.
3. Section 9.6 (Limitations on Sale of Assets). Section 9.6 of the
Credit Agreement prohibits Borrowers and their Subsidiaries from conveying,
selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of any of their property
business or assets except to the extent set forth in the exceptions described
therein, and therefore prohibits Borrowers from transferring ownership of their
assets to a lessor under either an Equipment Sale/Leaseback or the Rental Fleet
Sale/Leaseback. Lenders hereby consent to Borrowers' sale of Transferred Assets
to a lessor in connection with Equipment Sale/Leaseback and Rental Fleet
Sale/Leaseback transactions otherwise permitted herein.
4. Section 9.11 (Restrictive Agreements). Section 9.11 of the Credit
Agreement prohibits the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries from entering into any
agreement evidencing indebtedness which contains any negative pledge on assets
or covenants more restrictive than those in the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers'
execution of the documentation in connection with Equipment Sale/Leaseback or
Rental Fleet Sale/Leaseback transactions may, due to the inclusion of a negative
pledge relating to the Transferred Assets, subject to the applicable
transaction, violate Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. Lenders hereby
consent to any Borrower's grant of a negative pledge on Transferred Assets to a
lessor in connection with Equipment Sale/Leaseback or Rental Fleet
Sale/Leaseback transactions.
23. Consents and Waivers in connection with Securitization
Transactions. Borrowers have informed Administrative Agent of their desire to
enter into Securitization transactions. In each Securitization, one or more of
the Borrowers will sell portions of its/their Receivables, Related Security and
Related Assets to Securitization Subsidiaries, which will in turn sell such
receivables to a Purchaser. A liquidity facility, under which no Borrower is a
borrower or guarantor, will be a component of each such Securitization. JLG will
provide Administrative Agent with: (i) one week's prior written notice of any
Securitization and (ii) within one week after the closing of any Securitization,
an opinion of counsel to Borrowers stating that such transaction has closed and
that the documentation for such Securitization does not breach the terms of the
Credit Agreement. The transaction evidenced by: (i) the Purchase and Sale
Agreement dated as of June 30, 2000 between JLG, The Gradall Company, The
Gradall Xxxxxxx Company and a Securitization Subsidiary, (ii) the Receivables
Purchase Agreement dated as of June 30, 2000 among a Securitization Subsidiary,
as the Seller, JLG, as the Servicer, Market Street Funding Corporation, as the
Issuer and PNC Bank, National Association, as the Administrator and (iii) the
liquidity facility in connection therewith (collectively, the "PNC
Securitization"), which documents (other than the liquidity facility, as to
which Borrowers
5
6
represent and warrant herein that they are not a party) have been reviewed by
counsel to Administrative Agent, constitutes a Securitization hereunder. The
following consents and waivers are intended to permit the PNC Securitization
referred to above and subsequent Securitizations as and to the extent, and
subject to the conditions, set forth below:
1. Securitization Subsidiary. Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement
(Additional Subsidiaries) requires that any new Subsidiary of a Borrower must,
inter alia, be joined as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement. Lenders hereby
waive the requirement that a Securitization Subsidiary join the Credit Agreement
as a Borrower. In addition, Lenders hereby waive a Securitization Subsidiary's
compliance with the negative covenants found in Article 9 of the Credit
Agreement, other than in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.
2. Section 9.1 (Limitations on Debt). Section 9.1 of the Credit
Agreement prohibits Borrowers from incurring additional Debt except to the
extent set forth in the exceptions described therein. A Securitization may
contravene Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, because in connection with the
sale of Receivables, Related Security and Related Assets to a Purchaser, a
Securitization Subsidiary may incur Debt to a Purchaser for payments of the
accounts receivable from such accounts. Lenders hereby consent to Debt not
exceeding One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) outstanding at any time
related to: (i) Securitizations and (ii) other sales or discounts without
recourse of accounts receivable permitted by Section 9.6(d) of the Credit
Agreement, either singly or in the aggregate (provided, however, that with
respect to sales or discounts without recourse of accounts receivable referenced
in clause (ii) above, "outstanding" means those sold or discounted accounts
receivable which are by their terms not due).
3. Section 9.3 (Limitations on Liens). Section 9.3 of the Credit
Agreement prohibits Borrowers from incurring Liens on any of their assets except
to the extent set forth in the exceptions described therein. A Securitization
may contravene Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement because in connection with
the sale of the Receivables, Related Security and Related Assets, a Purchaser
will file UCC-1 financing statements against the Borrower that sells such
Receivables, Related Security and Related Assets. Lenders hereby consent to
Purchasers filing UCC-1 financing statements against Borrowers in connection
with a Securitization, so long as such UCC-1s cover only those Receivables,
Related Security and Related Assets sold to a Purchaser in connection with such
Securitization.
4. Section 9.6 (Limitations on Sale of Assets). Section 9.6 of the
Credit Agreement prohibits Borrowers and their Subsidiaries from conveying,
selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of any of their property
business or assets except to the extent set forth in the exceptions described
therein, and therefore prohibits Borrowers from selling their accounts
receivable to a Securitization Subsidiary in connection with a Securitization.
Lenders hereby consent to Borrowers' sale of its/their Receivables, Related
Security and Related Assets to a Securitization Subsidiary in connection with a
Securitization.
6
7
5. Section 9.11 (Restrictive Agreements). Section 9.11 prohibits the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries from entering into any agreement evidencing
indebtedness which contains any negative pledge on assets or covenants more
restrictive than those in the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers' execution of the
documentation in connection with a Securitization may, due to the inclusion of a
negative pledge relating to the Receivables, Related Security, Related Assets
and Collections, subject to the applicable transaction, violate Section 9.11 of
the Credit Agreement. Lenders hereby consent to Borrowers' grant of a negative
pledge to a Purchaser on the Receivables, Related Security, Related Assets and
Collections sold to such Purchaser in connection with a Securitization.
24. Representations and Warranties. Borrowers hereby represent and
warrant to Lenders as follows:
1. Representations. The representations and warranties set forth in
Article VI of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects
as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, except for any representation or
warranty made as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall
remain true and correct as of such earlier date; there is no Event of Default or
Default under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby; and since July 31, 1999
there has been no material adverse change in the properties, business,
operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of JLG or its
Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
2. Power and Authority. Each Borrower has the power and authority
under the laws of its state of incorporation or formation and under its
respective articles or certificates of incorporation and bylaws or articles of
organization and operating agreement to enter into and perform this Amendment
No. 1 and the other documents and agreements required hereunder (collectively,
the "Amendment Documents"); all necessary actions (corporate or otherwise) for
the execution and performance by each Borrower of the Amendment Documents have
been taken; and each of the Amendment Documents and the Credit Agreement, as
amended, constitute the valid and binding obligations of Borrowers, enforceable
in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state
or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the
enforcement of creditors' rights in general and the availability of equitable
remedies.
3. No Violations of Law or Agreements. The execution and performance
of the Amendment Documents by Borrowers will not: (i) violate any provisions of
any law or regulation, federal, state or local, or the articles or certificates
of incorporation or bylaws or articles of organization or operating agreement of
any Borrower or (ii) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a
default or require the obtaining of any consent under, any material agreement or
instrument by which any Borrower or its property may be bound.
4. Liquidity Facility. No Borrower is a borrower under or a
guarantor
7
8
for the liquidity facility to be established in connection with the PNC
Securitization transaction described in Paragraph 12 above. 1.
