Notwithstanding the Six Month Limitation, in the event that any amounts of “deferred compensation” payable to XxXxx due to his “separation from service” constitute “separation pay only upon an involuntary separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Separation Pay”), then all or a portion of such Separation Pay, up to two times the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the separation from service occurs (i.e., $460,000 in the event of a separation from service during 2008), whether paid under this Agreement or otherwise, may be paid to XxXxx during the six-month period following such separation from service with Terex.
(k) Cessation of Payments. If, during or after the Term, XxXxx commits a breach of Section 11 or Section 12 below, Terex shall have no further obligation to make payments to him under this Agreement except as may be required in accordance with Section 9(a).
(l) Notice Requirements. Any purported termination of XxXxx’x employment that is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Sections 1(j) and 1(p) and Section 28 shall not be effective for purposes of this Agreement.

10. |
EXCISE TAX GROSS-UP. |
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by Terex or its affiliates to or for the benefit of XxXxx (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 10) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by XxXxx with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then XxXxx shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by XxXxx of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, XxXxx retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall be determined that XxXxx is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Payments do not exceed 105% of the greatest amount (the “Reduced Amount”) that could be paid to XxXxx such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to XxXxx and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 10(c) below, all determinations required to be made under this Section 10, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by XxXxx (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Terex and XxXxx simultaneously with any event giving rise to a Gross-Up Payment. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Terex. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 10, shall be paid by Terex to XxXxx no later than March 15 of the year following the year which includes the date XxXxx’x employment terminates. Absent manifest error, any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Terex and XxXxx. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by Terex should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that Terex exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 10(c) and XxXxx thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment (including any interest and penalties thereon) shall be promptly paid by Terex to or for the benefit of XxXxx. In the event that XxXxx pays the Excise Tax prior to the determination by the Accounting Firm or payment of the taxes by Terex, Terex shall reimburse XxXxx for such amount no later than the last day of the taxable year following the year in which XxXxx remits the Excise Tax to the applicable taxing authority.
(c) XxXxx shall notify Terex in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by Terex of the Gross-Up Payment or the Underpayment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after XxXxx is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise Terex of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. XxXxx shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to Terex (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Terex notifies XxXxx in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, XxXxx shall:
(i) provide Terex any information reasonably requested by Terex relating to such claim,
(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Terex shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Terex,
(iii) cooperate with Terex in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and
(iv) permit Terex to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Terex shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold XxXxx harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(c), Terex shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at
its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct XxXxx to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and XxXxx agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Terex shall determine; provided, however, that if Terex directs XxXxx to pay such claim and xxx for a refund, Terex shall pay the amount of such payment to XxXxx, along with an additional Gross-Up Payment, and shall indemnify and hold XxXxx harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such payment; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of XxXxx with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, Terex's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and XxXxx shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. All of the payments by Terex to XxXxx under this Section 10 shall be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which all of the issues concerning such payments have been finally resolved. It is the parties’ intent that the timing of the payment of such amounts shall be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder.
(d) If, after the receipt by XxXxx of an amount advanced by Terex pursuant to Section 10(c), XxXxx receives any refund with respect to such claim, XxXxx shall (subject to Terex's complying with the requirements of Section 10(c)) pay to Terex the amount of such
refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto) no later than the last day of the calendar year in which the refund is received by XxXxx.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. |
|
(a) |
Acknowledgments. XxXxx acknowledges that: |
(i) As a result of his employment with Terex, XxXxx has obtained and will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the business of Terex and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the identity of customers and sources of supply, their needs and requirements, the nature and extent of contracts with them, and related cost, price and sales information.
(ii) Terex and its Affiliates will suffer damage that will be difficult to compute if, during the Term or thereafter, XxXxx should divulge secret and confidential information relating to the business of Terex heretofore or hereafter acquired by him in the course of his employment with Terex or any of its Affiliates.
(iii) The provisions of this Section 11 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business of Terex and its Affiliates.
(b) Confidential Information. XxXxx agrees that he will not at any time, either during the Term of Employment or thereafter, divulge to any person, firm or corporation any information obtained or learned by him during the course of his employment with Terex or any of its Affiliates, with regard to the operational, financial, business or other affairs of Terex or its Affiliates, their officers and directors, including, without limitation, trade “know how,” secrets, customer lists, sources of supply, pricing policies, operational methods or technical processes, except
|
(i) |
in the course of performing his duties hereunder, |
|
(ii) |
with Terex's express written consent, |
(iii) to the extent that any such information is in the public domain, is ascertainable from public or published information or is known to any person who is not subject to a contractual or fiduciary obligation owed to Terex not to disclose such information, in each case other than as a result of XxXxx'x breach of any of his obligations hereunder, or
(iv) when required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process.
In the event that XxXxx shall be required to make disclosure pursuant to the provisions of clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, he shall promptly, but in no event more than 48 hours after learning of such court order, subpoena, or other government process, notify Terex, by personal delivery or by facsimile, confirmed by mail. Further, at Terex's written request and expense, XxXxx shall:
(A) take all reasonably necessary steps requested by Terex to defend against the enforcement of such court order, subpoena or other government process, and;
(B) permit Terex to intervene and participate with counsel of its choice in any proceeding relating to the enforcement thereof.
(c) Return of Documents and Property. Upon termination of his employment with Terex, or at any time Terex may so request, XxXxx will promptly deliver to Terex all files, memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, data, drawings, blueprints and other documents and information (and all copies thereof) relating to the business of Terex and/or its Affiliates, and all property associated therewith, that are then in his possession or under his control.
(d) Remedies and Sanctions. In the event that XxXxx is found to be in violation of Section 11(b) or (c), Terex shall be entitled to relief as provided in Section 13 below.
|
12 |
NONCOMPETITION/NONSOLICITATION. |
|
(a) |
Acknowledgments. XxXxx acknowledges that: |
(i) Terex and its Affiliates will suffer damage that will be difficult to compute if, during the Term or thereafter, XxXxx should enter a competitive business.
(ii) The provisions of this Section 12 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business of Terex and its Affiliates.
(b) Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. During the Covenant Period (which shall extend for 18 months after the Term, unless the Date of Termination is within 24 months following a Change in Control, in which event the Covenant Period shall extend for a period of 24 months following the Date of Termination), without the prior written permission of Terex, XxXxx shall not, directly or indirectly:
(i) enter into the employ of or render any services to any person, firm or corporation engaged in any business that derives more than five percent of its gross sales from products that are interchangeable with or substitutable for a product sold by one or more of the businesses conducted by Terex or any of its Affiliates when the Term ends (a “Competitive Business”),
|
(ii) |
engage in any Competitive Business for his own account, |
(iii) become associated with or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner, shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity,
(iv) employ or retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any person who was employed or retained by Terex or any of its Affiliates while XxXxx was employed by Terex, or
(v) solicit, endeavor to entice away from or knowingly interfere with Terex or any of its Affiliates, any of its or their customers or sources of supply.
Notwithstanding, the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude XxXxx from investing his personal assets in the securities of any corporation or other business entity that is engaged in a Competitive Business if such securities are traded on a national stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market and if such investment does not result in his beneficially owning, at any time, more than five percent of the publicly-traded equity securities of such competitor.
(c) Remedies and Sanctions. In the event that XxXxx is found to be in violation of Section 12(b), Terex shall be entitled to relief as provided in Section 13 below.
|
13 |
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. |
(a) If XxXxx commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Section 11 or 12 above, Terex shall have the right and remedy to seek to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed by XxXxx that the services being rendered hereunder to Terex are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to Terex and that monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy to Terex.
The rights and remedies enumerated in this Section 13(a) shall be independent of the other and shall be severally enforceable, and such rights and remedies shall be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other damages, rights and remedies available to Terex under law or equity.
(b) If XxXxx shall violate any covenant contained in Sections 11 or 12, the Covenant Period shall automatically extend for 13 months from the date on which XxXxx permanently ceases such violation or, if later, from the date of entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a final order or judgment enforcing such covenant.
(c) If any provision of Sections 11 or 12 is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration, or area, or all of them, and any such provision shall then be applicable in such modified form.
|
14. |
OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES. |
In the event of the termination of XxXxx’x employment after a Change in Control or without Cause or for Good Reason or Terex does not extend this Agreement or enter into a new employment and compensation agreement with XxXxx, in each case as provided for in this Agreement, Terex agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to provide XxXxx with reasonableoutplacement services for a period of at least 12 months following the date XxXxx’x employment terminates; provided that the outplacement services will not be provided beyond the last day of the second year following the year in which XxXxx’x employment terminates. Terex and XxXxx shall use their good faith efforts to locate a provider, and determine the scope of, outplacement services, which is reasonably acceptable to both parties taking into account the status of XxXxx as a senior executive officer.
|
15 |
WITHHOLDING TAXES. |
All payments to XxXxx or his Beneficiary shall be subject to withholding on account of federal, state and local taxes as required by law. If any payment under this Agreement is insufficient to provide the amount of such taxes required to be withheld, Terex may withhold such taxes from any subsequent payment due XxXxx or his Beneficiary. In the event that all payments due are insufficient to provide the required amount of such withholding taxes, XxXxx or his Beneficiary, within five days after written notice from Terex, shall pay to Terex the amount of such withholding taxes in excess of the payments due.
|
16 |
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE. |
Nothing herein is intended to limit Terex’s indemnification of XxXxx, and Terex shall indemnify and advance expenses to him to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law consistent with Terex’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws as in effect on the date of this Agreement, with respect to any action or failure to act on his part while he is, (x) an officer, director or employee of Terex or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or (y) a director or officer of any trade association or other enterprise that is not a subsidiary or Affiliate and in which capacity his service is at Terex’s request. To the extent that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, including that available under a broad excess Side-A DIC policy, and fiduciary liability insurance is obtainable on commercially economic terms, Terex shall cause XxXxx to be covered, during the Term and after the Term in respect of claims arising from any such service during the Term, by such insurance on terms no less favorable than the relevant insurance maintained by Terex as in effect on the date of this Agreement in terms of coverage, limits and reimbursement of defense costs. In any period during which such insurance coverage is not obtainable on commercially economic terms, Terex shall cause XxXxx to be covered by as much
of such insurance as may be obtained for the largest premium paid by Terex for such an insurance policy in effect during the Term.
|
17 |
ASSIGNABILITY, SUCCESSORS, BINDING AGREEMENT. |
(a) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to Terex, Terex will use its best efforts to persuade any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Terex to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Terex would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of Terex to use its best efforts to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a materialbreach of this Agreement and shall entitle XxXxx to terminate his employment and receive the compensation and benefits specified in Section 9(g) at the time and in the form specified in Section 9(g), subject to Section 9(j).
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by XxXxx’x personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If XxXxx shall die while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon his death) if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of XxXxx’x estate.
|
18 |

|
19 |

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and terms of any benefit plan, grant or award, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern the determination of XxXxx’x rights. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, to the extent that the provisions of any benefit plan, grant or award are more favorable to XxXxx than the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such benefit plan, grant or award shall govern the determination of XxXxx’x rights.
|
20 |

No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by both XxXxx and an authorized officer of Terex. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time.

|
21 |
