“wholly owned Subsidiary” of any person shall mean a subsidiary of such person of which securities (except for directors’ qualifying shares) or other ownership interests representing 100% of the equity or 100% of the ordinary voting power or 100% of the general partnership interests are, at the time any determination is being made, owned, controlled or held by such person or one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of such person or by such person and one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of such person.
“Withdrawal Liability” shall mean liability to a Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, as such terms are defined in Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) any reference in this Agreement to any Loan Document shall mean such Loan Document as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, (b) any reference in this Agreement to any law or regulation shall mean such law or regulation as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and (c) all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that if Terex notifies the Administrative Agent that Terex wishes to amend any covenant in Article VI or any related definition to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP occurring after the date of this Agreement on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Terex that the Required Lenders wish to amend Article VI or any related definition for such purpose), then Terex’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such
45
covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to Terex and the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all accounting and financial terms used herein shall be construed, and all financial computations pursuant hereto shall be made, without giving effect to any election under ASC 825 to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Loan Party at “fair value”, as defined therein.
SECTION 1.03. Exchange Rates. On each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date to be used for calculating relevant Dollar Equivalent and Alternative Currency Equivalent amounts. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on such Calculation Date, shall remain effective until the next succeeding Calculation Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than any provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies.
SECTION 1.04. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing”).
SECTION 1.05. Pro Forma Calculations. With respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters during which any Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale occurs (and for purposes of determining whether an acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition or would result in a Default or an Event of Default), the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale (including, without duplication, (a) all pro forma adjustments required by Article 11 of Regulation S‑X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (b) pro forma adjustments for cost savings (net of continuing associated expenses) to the extent such cost savings have been realized or are reasonably expected to be realized within 12 months following such Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale, provided that all such adjustments shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of Terex), using, for purposes of making such calculations, the historical financial statements of Terex and the Restricted Subsidiaries which shall be reformulated as if such Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale, and any other Permitted Acquisitions or Significant Asset Sales that have been consummated during the period, had been consummated on the first day of such period.

SECTION 2.01. Commitments and Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, (i) each U.S. Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make U.S. Term Loans to Terex, in dollars, on the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its U.S. Term
46
Loan Commitment, and (ii) each Euro Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Euro Term Loans to the European Borrower, in Euro, on the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Euro Term Loan Commitment.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, (i) each Domestic Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Domestic 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Commitment of such Domestic Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Domestic Revolving Credit Lender’s Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Domestic Revolving Credit Lender’s Domestic 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 and Pounds (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 such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that the Australian Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), it being agreed that the making of Australian Fronted Loans pursuant to Section 2.24 shall be the exclusive method for the funding of Loans to the Australian Borrower.
(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, 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 Australian Fronted Loans and 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
47
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, 2.15 and 2.24, (i) each Dollar Borrowing made by Terex shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as Terex may request pursuant to Section 2.03 and (ii) each Dollar Borrowing made by a Subsidiary Borrower, and each Alternative Currency Borrowing, shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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 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. 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
48
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 short‑term 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing or Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Revolving Loan or Multicurrency Revolving Loan, as applicable, of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the 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 Pounds or Euro, 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 or Euro, 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
49
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 Foreign Base Rate.
SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, an Australian Fronted 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 an Alternative Currency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request (including a telephonic Borrowing Request) shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of such Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a U.S. Term Borrowing, a Euro Term Borrowing, a Domestic 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 (other than a Euro Term Borrowing), the Alternative Currency of such Borrowing; and (viii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Borrowing or a
50
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be deemed to be a Domestic 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 (other than any requested Euro Term Borrowing, which shall be denominated in Euro). 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing if denominated in an Alternative Currency. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then such 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 and each Australian Fronted Loan made to such Borrower, (ii) Terex hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (A) for the account of the Domestic Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Domestic 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 clause (i) of Section 2.11(a) and (iii) the European Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Euro Term Lender entitled thereto, the principal amount of each Euro Term Loan of such Euro Term Lender as provided in clause (ii) of Section 2.11(a).
(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
51
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 Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of 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, I-3 or I-4, as applicable, or otherwise in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Terex. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.
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 total amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender (but not the Australian Fronting Commitments, 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 Closing 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 if any Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding following any such expiration or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Facility Fees 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 Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such 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”).
(c) Terex agrees to pay (i) to each Domestic 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 Domestic 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
52
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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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) Except as provided in Section 2.24(e), the Australian Fronting Lender agrees to pay to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each Australian Fronted Loan made by the Australian Fronting Lender, a fee (an “Australian Participation Fee”) equal to such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.28(a)(iv), if any Defaulting Lender exists) of the Applicable Percentage received by the Australian Fronting Lender from or on behalf of the Australian Borrower on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Australian Fronted Loan. All Australian Participation Fees shall be payable in the currency in which they were received by the Australian Fronting Lender and only to the extent received by the Australian Fronting Lender.
(e) The Australian Borrower agrees to pay to the Australian Fronting Lender on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which the Australian Fronting Commitment of such Lender 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 the Australian Fronting Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) on the aggregate principal amount of Australian Fronted Loans of such Lender outstanding during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the date that any Australian Fronted Loan is made hereunder or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or ending with the date on which the Australian Fronting Commitment shall expire or be terminated) (the “Australian Fronting Fees”). All Australian Fronting Fees in respect of Australian Fronted Loans denominated in Australian Dollars shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days and shall be payable in Australian Dollars. All Australian Fronting Fees in respect of Australian Fronted Loans denominated in dollars 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.
53
(f) (i) Terex agrees to pay to each U.S. Term Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date, an upfront fee (the “U.S. Term Loan Upfront Fees”) equal to 0.25% of the U.S. Term Loan Commitment of such U.S. Term Lender on such date; provided that each U.S. Term Lender may elect to effect its U.S. Term Loan Upfront Fee in the form of original issue discount (by reducing the amount of the U.S. Term Loan advanced by it in the amount of its U.S. Term Loan Upfront Fee).
(ii) The European Borrower agrees to pay to each Euro Term Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date, an upfront fee (the “Euro Term Loan Upfront Fees”) equal to 0.25% of the Euro Term Loan Commitment of such Euro Term Lender on such date; provided that each Euro Term Lender may elect to effect its Euro Term Loan Upfront Fee in the form of original issue discount (by reducing the amount of the Euro Term Loan advanced by it in the amount of its Euro Term Loan Upfront Fee).
(iii) Terex agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date, an upfront fee (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Upfront Fees”) equal to 0.50% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender on such date.
(g) 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 and the Australian Fronting Fees shall be paid directly to the Australian Fronting Lender. 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 Domestic Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate or the U.S. Base Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) 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 Foreign 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 Foreign Base Rate Loans denominated in Pounds, 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 “Foreign 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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Pounds, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for such Loans in effect from time to time.
54
(d) 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 or Adjusted LIBO Rate 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 Foreign Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit 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, Foreign Base Rate Loans) that are U.S. Term Loans, Euro 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%).
SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that 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, or (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 Adjusted LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice explaining such determination to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, 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. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error 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 Foreign Base Rate Loan.
SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Term Loan Commitments (other than any Incremental Term Loan Commitments) shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date. Any Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Commitments and the Australian Fronting Commitments shall
55
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 Euro Term Loan Commitments, the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Euro Term Loan Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of €5,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the U.S. Term Loan Commitments, the Domestic 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, (iii) the Total Domestic Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of (x) the Aggregate Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure at the time and (y) the Domestic Contract Loan Exposure at such time and (iv) 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 (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 Euro Term Loan Commitments, the Domestic 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, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars or to continue any Eurocurrency Borrowing as a Eurocurrency 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, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
56
(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; accrued interest on any Eurocurrency Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by such Borrower at the time of conversion;
(iv) if any Eurocurrency 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;
(v) 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing;
(vi) 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;
(vii) 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
(viii) 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.
57
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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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 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) (i) 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 December 2014, 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 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, 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.
(ii) The European Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Euro Term Lenders, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year (each such date being called a “Euro Term Loan Repayment Date”), commencing on the last Business Day of December 2014, a principal amount of the Euro 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 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Euro Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, 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) Terex 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
58
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 Eurocurrency Borrowing, given before 12:00 (noon), Local Time, three Business Days before such prepayment and (ii) in the case of a prepayment of ABR Loans or Foreign 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 the U.S. Term Loans, the Euro Term Loans and Other Term Loans (if any) as specified by the applicable Term Borrower and applied (A) first, against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the U.S. Term Loans, the Euro Term Loans and Other Term Loans (if any) under Sections 2.11(a)(i), 2.11(a)(ii) 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.
(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) 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. 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.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) a Borrower refinances or makes any prepayment of Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction, (ii) this Agreement is amended or otherwise modified to effect a Repricing Transaction or (iii) a Lender is required to assign all or any part of its Term Loans as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment or other modification of this Agreement that would constitute a Repricing Transaction, then in each case the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a payment of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so subject to such amendment or modification, or so prepaid, refinanced or assigned, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Borrower shall repay or prepay (A) all its outstanding Domestic Revolving Credit Borrowings or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowings, as applicable, (B) all its outstanding Multicurrency Swingline Loans (in the case of a termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
59
Commitments), and (C) all outstanding Australian Fronted Loans made to such Borrower (in the case of a termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments) and (ii) Terex shall repay or prepay all outstanding Domestic Swingline Loans (in the case of a termination of the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments), in each case on the date of any such termination. In the event of any partial reduction of the Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure plus the Domestic Contract Loan Exposure would exceed the Total Domestic 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 Australian Fronted Exposure of the Australian Fronting Lender would exceed its Australian Fronting Commitment, then the 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, Swingline Loans or Australian Fronted Loans (or a combination thereof) 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 and (ii) Asset Sales the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of which are not greater than $50,000,000 in any fiscal year of Terex), in each case except to the extent that the proceeds would otherwise be required to be used to make an offer to repurchase Existing Senior Subordinated Notes, 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 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, at Terex’s option, (i) to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f), and/or (ii) to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans, without reducing the Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(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.
60
(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, the Euro Term Loans and the Other Term Loans (if any) and applied (i) first against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of U.S. Term Loans, Euro Term Loans and Other Term Loans (if any) under Sections 2.11(a)(i), 2.11(a)(ii) 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. Each prepayment of Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be allocated between the Domestic Revolving Loans and the Multicurrency Revolving Loans as determined by Terex.
(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 Eurocurrency Term Loans or Eurocurrency 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 ratably prepay Euro Term Loans and Eurocurrency U.S. Term Loans and (ii) allocable to Revolving Loans to prepay Eurocurrency 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 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 Eurocurrency Term Borrowings or Eurocurrency 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
61
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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted 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) and (iv) 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 Xxxx 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 Eurocurrency Loans or Australian Fronted 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 Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted 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 Borrowers 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.
(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
62
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 Borrowers 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 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers 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 Eurocurrency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurocurrency Loans 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 Foreign Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurocurrency Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing or a Foreign Base Rate Loan to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or to continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing 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 Foreign Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans) (or a request to continue an ABR Loan or a Foreign Base Rate Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan or a Foreign Base Rate Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Foreign Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans) in which event all such Eurocurrency Loans shall
63
be automatically converted to such ABR Loans or Foreign 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 Eurocurrency Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurocurrency Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to Terex by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Terex.
SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. Each 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 Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any (A) Eurocurrency Loan to an ABR Loan or Foreign Base Rate Loan or (B) any Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan to an Australian Fronted Base Rate Loan or (C) Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted 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 Eurocurrency Loan or Australian Fronted 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 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency
64
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 Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Domestic Swingline Loan and Domestic Contract Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Domestic Swingline Loans or Domestic Contract Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments. For purposes of determining the available Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Multicurrency Swingline Loan, Multicurrency Contract Loan and Australian Fronted 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, Multicurrency Contract Loans or Australian Fronted 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 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, Swingline Loans or Australian Fronted Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Australian Fronted Loans and accrued interest thereon shall be proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Australian Fronted 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, Swingline Loans and Australian Fronted 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, Swingline Loans and Australian Fronted 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 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
65
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 applicable Issuing Bank, (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) and (iii) Australian Fronting Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Australian Fronting Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.24(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. Except as provided in Section 2.24 with respect to defaulted Australian Fronted Loans, 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. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Borrower (other than the U.K. Borrower) or any Guarantor (or, with respect to payments by the Australian Fronting Lender of the Australian Participation Fee (or any other payments in connection with the Australian Fronted Loans), the Australian Fronting Lender) 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, and all liabilities with respect thereto, except as required by applicable law. If any Borrower (other than the U.K. Borrower) or any Guarantor shall be required under applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or any Transferee), (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be,
66
shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If the Australian Fronting Lender shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of the Australian Participation Fee (or any other payments in connection with the Australian Fronted Loans), Terex or the Australian Borrower shall pay to the applicable Revolving Credit Lender the “additional amount” referred to in the preceding sentence.
(b) In addition, each Borrower (other than the U.K. Borrower) 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 Taxes”).
(c) Each Loan Party (other than the U.K. Borrower) will indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (or Transferee) 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, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or Transferee), 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, a Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), 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, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, 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 and any Taxes described in Section 2.20(g) 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
67
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 the U.K. Borrower) or any other 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 (or Transferee) that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction (other than the United Kingdom) 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 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 or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the 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:
(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
68
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) No Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding Tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts
69
with respect to United States Federal withholding Tax existed and would apply to payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a new lending office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such new lending office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this paragraph (g) shall not apply (A) to any Transferee or new lending office that becomes a Transferee or new lending office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of any Borrower and (B) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a new lending office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this paragraph (g)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such new lending office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non‑U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) above. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20 (except with respect to Australian Fronted Loans and payments related thereto), no amount shall be required to be paid to any person under this Section 2.20 with respect to a Tax to the extent that such Tax would have been required to have been paid under any treaty, law, rule, regulation, order, directive or guideline in effect on the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.
(h) 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 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 (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(i) Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall require any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its Tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).
(j) 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.
(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a Lender which makes a Loan to the European Borrower and which is an Irish Qualifying Lender, within paragraph (c), (d),
70
(e), (h) or (i) of that definition, shall deliver to the European Borrower an Irish Tax Confirmation. An Irish Qualifying Lender which becomes a party hereunder on the Closing Date shall deliver an Irish Tax Confirmation to the European Borrower in connection with its delivery of its signature page to this Agreement. 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 becomes a party hereunder or becomes a Participant after the day on which this Agreement is entered into, such Lender or Participant shall deliver to the European Borrower an Irish Tax Confirmation to Terex and the European Borrower on or prior to becoming a party hereunder. An Irish Qualifying Lender, within paragraph (c), (d), (e), (h) or (i) of that definition, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, Terex and the European Borrower if there is any change in the position from that set out in any Irish Tax Confirmation. An Irish Treaty Lender and the European Borrower shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the European Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without a deduction for or on account of Irish income tax.
If the European Borrower pays an additional amount and the relevant Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (a) a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that additional amount forms part or that additional amount or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that additional amount was required and (b) that Lender has obtained and utilized that Tax Credit, the Lender shall pay an amount to the European Borrower which it 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 additional amount not been required to be made by the European Borrower.
(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 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
71
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 2.20(k) 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 group member notified by the relevant tax authority in accordance with Section 15(1)(a) of the Value-Added Tax Consolidation Acx 0000, of Ireland (“VATCA”) as being the member responsible for complying with the provisions of VATCA in respect of the group.
(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.
(l) 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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, 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 (l) (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 (l), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (l) 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.
SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting
72
compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or an Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which has been approved by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, and which additionally requires the consent of such Lender for approval pursuant to Section 9.08(b) or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, any Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.20) and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, at the option of such Borrower, either all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement or all its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an assignee (other than any Ineligible Assignee) that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (B) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Banks and the applicable Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (C) such Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or Issuing Bank in immediately available funds (and in the currency or currencies in which payment would be required if all amounts were to be paid by such Borrower) an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16), in each case with respect to the Loans or Commitments subject to such assignment; provided, further, that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.
(b) If (i) any Lender or an Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or
73
(iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or an Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or an Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (A) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by such Borrower or (B) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if such filing or assignment would materially reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Swingline Exposure exceeding $50,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Domestic Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Domestic Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the Multicurrency Swingline Lender agrees to make loans, in dollars, Euro and Pounds, to 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 $50,000,000 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, Terex may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

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 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
74
of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.

Each Multicurrency Swingline Loan shall be a Foreign 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Lender or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, and each Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not
75
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 Closing 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 Domestic 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.
(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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure and the Domestic Contract Loan Exposure shall not exceed the Total Domestic Revolving Credit Commitment and (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.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date that is two years after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier 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 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.
76
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, deemed issuance on the Closing Date) and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Domestic Revolving Credit Lender (with respect to each Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 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;
77
(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 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
78
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 Eurocurrency 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 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Domestic Revolving Credit Commitment or the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall, on the Business Day after Terex receives notice from the
79
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 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 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. 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 Domestic 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.
SECTION 2.24. Australian Fronted Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, (i) the Australian Fronting Lender agrees to make loans to the Australian Borrower in dollars and Australian Dollars at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Australian Fronting Commitment of the Australian Fronting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Australian Fronting Lender’s Australian Fronted Loans exceeding its Australian Fronting Commitment or (B) the sum of the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure and the Multicurrency Contract Loan Exposure, after giving effect to any Australian Fronted Loan, exceeding the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Australian Fronted Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Alternative Currency Equivalent of $100,000 and not less than $2,500,000. The Australian Fronting Commitments may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Australian Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Australian Fronted Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.
80
(b) Request for Australian Fronted Loans. The Australian Borrower shall notify the Australian Fronting Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, by fax, or by telephone (confirmed by fax), not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of a proposed Australian Fronted Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement, shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Australian Fronted Loan (which shall be expressed in dollars), shall specify whether such Australian Fronted Loan is to be denominated in dollars or Australian Dollars, shall specify whether such Australian Fronted Loan is to be an Australian Fronted Base Rate Loan (which shall be available solely if such Australian Fronted Loan is denominated in Australian Dollars) or an Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan and, if such Loan is to be an Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan, the Interest Period therefor (which shall comply with the definition of the term “Bank Xxxx Rate” or “Adjusted LIBO Rate”, as applicable). If no Rate is selected with respect to any Australian Fronted Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Australian Fronted Base Rate Loan (provided such Australian Fronted Loan is denominated in Australian Dollars). If no currency is selected with respect to any Australian Fronted Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Australian Fronted Loan denominated in Australian Dollars. The Australian Borrower shall not be permitted to select an Australian Fronted Base Rate Loan for any Australian Fronted Loan denominated in dollars.
(c) Prepayment. The Australian Borrower shall have the right at any time from time to time to prepay any Australian Fronted Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or fax notice) to the Australian Fronting Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), Local Time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment at the Australian Fronting Lender’s address for notices specified on Schedule 2.01. All principal payments of Australian Fronted Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment. All prepayments of Australian Fronted Loans shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty.
(d) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, each Australian Fronted Base Rate Loan 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 Australian Fronted Base Rate with respect to such Australian Fronted Loan plus the Applicable Percentage with respect to such Loan. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, each Australian Fronted Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of, (i) in the case of a Loan in Australian Dollars, 365 days, or (ii) in the case of a Loan in dollars, 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Bank Xxxx Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable, for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Percentage with respect to such Loan. Interest on each Australian Fronted Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto. The Australian Fronting Lender shall notify the Australian Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the Australian Fronted Base Rate or the Bank Xxxx Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable, applicable to any Australian Fronted Loans promptly following each determination thereof.
(e) Participations. If the Australian Borrower shall default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Australian Fronted Loan when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or by acceleration or otherwise, then the Australian Fronting
81
Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Australian Fronting Lender to the Australian Borrower, the principal amount of all Australian Fronted Loans to the Australian Borrower, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be converted to Dollar Loans and obligations to pay interest in dollars, respectively, at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of such default, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender of such default (by fax or by telephone, confirmed in writing) and of its Pro Rata Percentage in dollars of such Australian Fronted Loan. Upon such notice but without any further action, the Australian Fronting Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Australian Fronting Lender, a participation in such defaulted Australian Fronted Loan equal to such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage in dollars of the aggregate principal amount of such defaulted Australian Fronted Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Multicurrency 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 Australian Fronting Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each such defaulted Australian Fronted Loan. Each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Australian Fronted 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 Multicurrency 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 Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Australian Fronting Lender the amounts so received by it from the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Australian Borrower of any participations in any Australian Fronted Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Australian Fronted Loan shall be made in dollars and to the Administrative Agent and not to the Australian Fronting Lender. Any amounts received by the Australian Fronting Lender from the Australian Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of an Australian Fronted Loan after receipt by the Australian Fronting 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 Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Australian Fronting Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in an Australian Fronted Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Australian Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of such Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.
(f) Termination and Reduction of Australian Fronting Commitments. Upon written or fax notice to the Australian Fronting Lender and to the Administrative Agent, Terex may at any time permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Australian Fronting Commitment of the Australian Fronting Lender; provided, however, that the Australian Fronting Commitment of the Australian Fronting Lender shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Australian Fronted Loans of the Australian Fronting Lender at such time.
82
SECTION 2.25. Reporting Requirements of the Australian Fronting Lender and Issuing Banks. (a) Within two Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, the Australian Fronting Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall make available to any Lender upon request) a statement showing the average daily principal amount of the Australian Fronted Loans outstanding in each currency during the calendar month most recently ended.
(b) 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 Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, from one or more Incremental Term Lenders or persons who will become Domestic Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders (which may include any existing Lender willing to provide the same, in their own discretion); provided that at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, additional Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit 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) the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00; 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 of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, additional Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $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 additional Euro Term Loans)), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, additional Domestic Revolving Credit
83
Commitments and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit 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, Euro Term Loan Commitments or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the U.S. Term Loans or Euro Term Loans (“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 or Euro. Any Incremental Term Loans denominated in Australian Dollars, Pounds or Euro shall be Other Term Loans (unless they are denominated in Euro and represent commitments to make Term Loans having the same terms as the Euro Term Loans).
(b) Terex and each Incremental Term Lender, additional Domestic 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, until the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Lenders holding at least 51% in interest of the outstanding Loans and Commitments of any Class of Term Loans, (i) if the initial yield on any Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (A) the Adjusted LIBOR margins on the Other Term Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans on the date such Other Term Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate (without giving effect to the last sentence of the definition of the term “LIBO Rate”) for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) plus (B) if the Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the lenders making the same receive a fee (other than routine amendment fees) from Terex or any of its Subsidiaries for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (x) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans or (y) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Eurocurrency Term Loans of any Class (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to the Eurocurrency Term Loans of such Class would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate (without giving effect to the last sentence of the definition of the term “LIBO Rate”) for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) plus one-quarter of the amount of OID, if any, initially paid in respect of such Term Loans of such Class, then each Applicable Percentage for each adversely affected Class of Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans, (ii) 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 (iii) 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
84
Term Loan Commitments, additional Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit 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 Term Loan Commitment, additional Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.27 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, 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, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Term Lenders, additional Domestic Revolving Credit Lenders and/or additional Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders) closing certificates and documentation reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent.
(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 outstanding U.S. Term Loans or Euro Term Loans, as applicable, 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 (other than any Euro Term Borrowing) 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 scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) or 2.11(a)(ii), as applicable, 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:
85
(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 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.
86
(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) Reserved.
(C) 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).
(D) 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 (C) 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, Swingline Loans or Australian Fronted Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Australian Fronting Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s, Swingline Lender’s or Australian Fronting 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, Swingline Loans and Australian Fronted Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting 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. 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), (B) second, prepay Australian Fronted Loans in an amount equal to the Australian Fronting Lender’s Australian Fronted Exposure (after giving effect to any reallocation that may be
87
partially effected under clause (iv) above) and (C) third, 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 (C) 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 (C).
(b) If each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender, the Australian Fronting 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, (ii) the Australian Fronting Lender shall not be required to fund any Australian Fronted Loan unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Australian Fronted Loan and (iii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
SECTION 2.29. Contract Loan Facilities. (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 Domestic Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Domestic Contract Loan Exposure at any time shall not exceed the Total Domestic 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 sum of the Aggregate Domestic Contract Loan Exposure and the Aggregate Multicurrency 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
88
Domestic 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 or on behalf of 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 Domestic 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 or on behalf of 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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 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
89
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 Closing Date pursuant to Article IV.
“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 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. Borrower (as borrower or as guarantor).
(b) Tax Gross‑Up.
(i) The U.K. Borrower 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) The U.K. Borrower 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
90
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 U.K. Borrower.
(iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the U.K. Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the U.K. Borrower 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 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 U.K. Borrower a certified copy of that Direction;
(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 U.K. Borrower 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 U.K. Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without
91
the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under clause (vii) below.
(v) If the U.K. Borrower 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 thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the U.K. Borrower 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 the U.K. Borrower makes a payment to which a U.K. Treaty Lender is entitled, that U.K. Treaty Lender and the U.K. Borrower shall co‑operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the U.K. Borrower 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 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 the U.K. Borrower has not complied with its obligations under Section 2.31(xiii) below.
(ix) A U.K. Non‑Bank 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. Borrower by entering into this Agreement.
(x) A U.K. Non‑Bank Lender shall promptly notify the U.K. Borrower 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. Borrower) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence below its name on its signature page to this Agreement.
92
(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. Borrower) 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) Where a Lender notifies Terex as described in Section 2.31(b)(xi) or Section 2.31(b)(xii) above, the U.K. Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP2 Filing.
(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. Borrower 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, transfer occurs, the U.K. Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the transferee or the assignee under either Section 2.31(b) (Tax Gross‑Up) 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
(B) in relation to Section 2.31(b) (Tax Gross‑Up), 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 U.K. Borrower has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that U.K. Treaty Lender.
(c) Tax Indemnity.
(i) The U.K. Borrower 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:
93
(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 Gross‑Up);
(2) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.31(b) (Tax Gross‑Up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 2.31(b)(iv) (Tax Gross‑Up) applied; or
(3) relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by the U.K. Borrower 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. Borrower.
(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the U.K. Borrower under Section 2.31(c), notify the Administrative Agent.
(d) Tax Credit. If the U.K. Borrower 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 the U.K. Borrower which that Lender reasonably determines 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 the U.K. Borrower.
(e) Lender Status Confirmation. Each Lender shall indicate, below its name on its signature page to this Agreement, and each New Lender 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. Borrower, which of the following categories it falls within:
(i) not a U.K. Qualifying Lender;
94
(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. Borrower) 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. Borrower). 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. Borrower 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.
(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 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 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
95
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 Xxx 0000 or in any analogous legislation enacted in any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom).
(h) FATCA Deduction.
(i) The U.K. Borrower may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and the U.K. Borrower shall not 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) The U.K. Borrower 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.

With respect to each Foreign 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.

(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;

(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.

(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 (the “Perfection Intellectual Property”), 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 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.
(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.
102
SECTION 3.20. Location of Material Owned Real Property. Schedule 3.20 lists completely and correctly as of the Closing 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.

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 Closing 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 Closing Date.

(e) Terex shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, furnish any funds to or make any investment in any Unrestricted Subsidiary or any other person for purposes of enabling it to make any payment or distribution that could not be made by Terex or the Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.06(a) or 6.09(b).

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Credit Suisse AG 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 the Program Receivables and 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 percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
127
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 its duties and
128
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
129
agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by 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.

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
132
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.

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, (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 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 and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (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 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; (v) 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; (vi) 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
134
hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) 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, 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 and 2.31 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
135
(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 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
136
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 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, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxxxxx’x 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 long‑term 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,
137
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 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;
(E) no proceeds from Revolving Loans or Contract Loans shall be used to fund any such purchase of Term Loans; and
(F) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by the Borrowers through open market purchases pursuant to this Section 9.04(l) shall not exceed $100,000,000 during the term of this Agreement.
138
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.
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 & Xxxxx 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 Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders or any Lender (including the Australian Fronting 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 Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender (including the Australian Fronting Lender and 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 Lead Arrangers, 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 Lender) 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 Terex or any of its Affiliates or shareholders, 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
139
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 Terex or any of its 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, Lead Arranger 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.
(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.

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
140
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.
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) or (ii) amendments or modifications to the definition of “Required Revolving Credit Lenders”, 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) 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
141
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 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, or (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); 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, the Australian Fronting Lender 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, the Australian Fronting Lender 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.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 9.08 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to execute all such amendments to this Agreement as shall be requested in accordance with the provisions of the Fee Letter to give effect to the exercise of rights granted to the Lead Arrangers under the Fee Letter, including the right to cause additional institutions to become Lenders hereunder with such titles as the Lead Arrangers may designate and to effect such changes to the terms of this Agreement as the Lead Arrangers shall have the right to implement under the terms of the Fee Letter, and (ii) each Lender agrees that any amendment referred to in the preceding clause (i) that shall not adversely affect the rights or benefits to which the Lenders are entitled hereunder shall be effective if executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent without the consent of any other person. The Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to each Lender a copy of each amendment entered into under this paragraph.
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
142
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.
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. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
143
SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01; provided, however, that each Subsidiary Borrower hereby appoints Terex, 000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (Attention of General Counsel), as its agent for service of process. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.16. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
144
(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 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. The obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 9.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
SECTION 9.17. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders agrees to keep confidential (and to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, Affiliates and representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, and numbering, administration and settlement service providers, as need to know such Information, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (provided such authority shall be advised of the confidential nature of the Information), (c) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (e) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty (or its Affiliates) is not a competitor of Terex or any of its Subsidiaries and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.17 or substantially similar confidentiality undertakings), (f) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.17 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Collateral Agent on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Borrower or (h) to the extent such disclosure is permitted pursuant to, and made in accordance with the terms of, Section 9.04(g). 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 Closing Date, either financial information or clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. The provisions of
145
this Section 9.17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement.
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 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.
146
SECTION 9.20. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (iii) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other person, and (ii) no Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Agents, the Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates and no Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents, the Lead Arrangers 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. 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, it is required to 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.
SECTION 9.22. Additional Borrowers. Terex may designate any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries that is a Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrower under any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) Terex shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the applicable Class at least five Business Days’ notice of the designation of a new Subsidiary Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the applicable Lenders, shall be reasonably satisfied that the applicable Lenders may make loans and other extensions of credit to such person in the applicable currency or currencies in such person’s jurisdiction in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and without being subject to any unreimbursed or unindemnified Tax or other expense, (iii) any designation as a Borrower (A) of a Subsidiary which is not a Domestic Subsidiary or (B) of a Subsidiary which is not organized in the same jurisdiction as an existing Borrower shall be subject to the prior written consent of each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) Terex and such Restricted Subsidiary shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such corporate documentation (including all applicable “know your customer” documentation), charter documents,
147
by-laws, resolutions and legal opinions (in each case, consistent with those provided or required to be provided by Terex under Section 4.01 on the Closing Date, modified as appropriate for the jurisdiction in question or otherwise as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, absent a Change in Law affecting any such Subsidiary, the “Subsidiary Borrowers” under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to be acceptable as borrowers hereunder with respect to any similar facilities hereunder. Upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such a wholly owned Subsidiary and Terex, and the documentation referred to in the preceding sentence, such wholly owned Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement. A Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder at such time as no Loans, Fees or any other amounts due in connection therewith pursuant to the terms hereof in respect of such Subsidiary shall be outstanding, no Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary shall be outstanding and such Subsidiary and Terex shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower solely because it no longer is a wholly owned Subsidiary.
SECTION 9.23. Several Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans are several and not joint and, except as provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the North Atlantic Guarantee Agreement, as applicable, (a) each Borrower shall only be liable with respect to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans made to such Borrower and (b) only Terex shall be liable to pay the Facility Fees, the Administrative Agent Fees, the L/C Participation Fees, the Issuing Bank Fees and the Upfront Fees.
