BACKGROUND
GE Capital and NMHG are parties to that certain International Operating Agreement dated as of April

meanings assigned thereto in the IOA. GE Capital and NMHG have agreed that in order to most
effectively promote the development of international financing programs involving their respective
Affiliates, it is advisable for such Affiliates to enter into Regional Agreements and or Master
Regional Operating Agreements for countries in which such financing activities will be conducted.
GE Capital and NMHG have further agreed to amend and clarify the IOA to better define the
activities conducted by the various Working Committees internationally and how such activities are
reported in each country’s or region’s respective Annual Operating Plan as such activities relate
to the business of the various Master Regional Operating Agreements and Regional or Country
Agreements, and to otherwise supplement the IOA.

2. Working Committee Annual Operating Plans: GE Capital and NMHG hereby agree that, except as
set forth below, the following items shall be reviewed and considered (at least annually) by
each regional and or country Working Committee and that a brief description regarding the status
and year to date progress made with respect to each item shall be set forth in the regional
and/or country specific Annual Operating Plan, copies of which shall be
provided to the International Executive Committee shortly following adoption by each respective
country or region. The parties agree that each country or regional Annual Operating Plan, where

The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that not all of the items set forth above will be relevant to a particular region or country and, in such case, any such item or items shall not be considered and/or included in the applicable Annual Operating Plan. | |||
