business as now being conducted and is duly qualified or licensed to do business
and is in good standing in the jurisdictions in which the ownership of its
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license
except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Bucyrus Material Adverse
Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Bucyrus Material Adverse
Effect” means any change, effect, occurrence, circumstance or development
that has a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, results
of operations or financial condition of Bucyrus and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, but shall exclude any effects resulting from or relating to
(i) events affecting the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia or

(whether declared or undeclared), sabotage, terrorism, military action or any
material escalation or worsening thereof; or (v) the execution,
announcement or existence of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby; provided, however, that in each
case of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), in the event such change, effect, occurrence,
state of facts, circumstance or development has, or would have reasonably be
expected to have, a materially disproportionate adverse effect on Bucyrus and
its Subsidiaries, relative to other Persons manufacturing and selling the same
products made by Bucyrus and its Subsidiaries in the industries in which Bucyrus
and its Subsidiaries operate then it shall be a Bucyrus Material Adverse
Effect.

its obligations hereunder and thereunder, have been or will have been at the
Closing duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the
part of Bucyrus.
(b) This
Agreement constitutes, and the Stockholders Agreement when executed and
delivered will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of Bucyrus,

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

thereof; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default

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

acquire (or any similar instrument), or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for, Bucyrus Stock.
SECTION

or delay the ability of Terex to consummate the transactions contemplated by

(b) Other
than the Terex Consent, the execution, delivery and performance of this
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 Terex, except for consents, authorizations
or approvals, the failure of which to obtain, would not reasonably be expected
to, individually or in the aggregate, materially impede or delay the ability of
Terex to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
SECTION
3.4. No Brokers’ or Other
Fees. Except for Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., whose fees and
expenses will be paid by Terex, no broker, finder or investment banker is

SECTION
3.5. Purchase for
Investment. Terex is an “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Terex is
acquiring the Consideration Shares for its own account and solely for

selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the
Consideration Shares. Terex does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Consideration Shares. Terex acknowledges that it can bear the
economic risk of its investment in the Consideration Shares and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Consideration
Shares. Terex acknowledges that none of the Consideration Shares have
been registered under the Securities Act or under any state or foreign
securities laws, and Terex will not, and shall cause any of its Affiliates that
acquire the Consideration Shares not to, sell, transfer or distribute any
Consideration Shares except in compliance with the registration requirements or
exemption provisions under the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations
- 6-
promulgated
thereunder, or any other applicable Law. Terex has made such inquiry
concerning Bucyrus, its business, personnel, assets, liabilities, financial
condition, prospects and other matters as Terex has deemed appropriate for
purposes of making this investment. Bucyrus has made available to
Terex any and all written or other information which Terex has requested and has
answered to Terex’s satisfaction all inquiries made by Terex. Neither
Terex nor any of its Affiliates has engaged in any transaction that is intended
to transfer, or that would otherwise have the effect of transferring, in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of its acquisition
and ownership of the Consideration Shares, whether such transaction is to be
settled by delivery of securities, cash or other consideration.
SECTION
3.6. Legends. Terex
understands that the certificates evidencing the Consideration Shares may bear a
legend in substantially the form set forth in the Stockholders
Agreement.
SECTION
3.7. No Other Representations or
Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties
contained in this Article III, neither Terex nor any other Person makes any
other express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of Terex or any
Affiliate of Terex with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

or quoted for trading on the date in question.
SECTION
4.3. Indemnification. All
claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be made pursuant to, and
shall be subject to the limitations and conditions of, Article IX of the
ASPA as if such claims were made pursuant to the ASPA. For the
avoidance of doubt, all representations and warranties in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be representations

and
warranties made pursuant to the ASPA and the representations and warranties
contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall remain in full
force and effect and survive indefinitely, and the balance of the

have a similar effect on Bucyrus Stock, (ii) pay any stock dividend in respect
of any shares of its capital stock, (iii) materially modify or amend Bucyrus’s
certificate of incorporation or by-laws, except as required by Law or required
to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the ASPA or
(iv) authorize any of, or commit to do or enter into any, binding contract,
agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the foregoing actions in clauses
(i) through (iii) of this Section
4.4.
(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

such that the condition set forth in Section 5.1(b) hereof
