                       TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1999
                      (in millions, unless otherwise noted)

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis  of  Presentation.   The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of Terex  Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30,
1999 and for the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim financial  information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  to be
included  in  full  year  financial  statements.   The  accompanying   condensed
consolidated  balance  sheet as of December  31, 1998 has been  derived from the
audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Terex
Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company").  All
material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been made. Such adjustments  consist only of those of a normal
recurring  nature.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
September  30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further  information,  refer
to the consolidated  financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Cash and cash  equivalents  at September 30, 1999 include $26.6 of  compensating
balances against short-term financing arrangements.

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging   Activities,"  which  establishes  a  new  model  for
accounting  for  derivative  and hedging  activities and supersedes and amends a
number of existing  standards.  Upon initial  application,  all  derivatives are
required to be  recognized  in the  statement  of  financial  position as either
assets or liabilities  and measured at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other  comprehensive
income,  depending  on whether a  derivative  is  designated  as part of a hedge
transaction  and,  if it is, the type of hedge  transaction.  In  addition,  all
hedging  relationships  must  be  reassessed  and  documented  pursuant  to  the
provisions  of SFAS No. 133. In June 1999,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 by one year so that it would be
effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000. The Company does not
expect adoption of this statement to have a significant  impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

On April 1, 1999, the Company completed the purchase of Amida  Industries,  Inc.
("Amida").   Amida  manufactures  and  markets  light   construction   equipment
consisting of light towers,  concrete products and traffic safety devices at its
facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

The Company announced on June 15, 1999 an offer to acquire all of the issued and
to be issued share capital of Powerscreen International plc ("Powerscreen").  On
July 27, 1999, the effective date of  acquisition,  Terex declared the offer for
Powerscreen  unconditional,  with  respect  to all valid  acceptances  received.
Powerscreen, headquartered in Dungannon, Northern Ireland, is a manufacturer and
marketer of screening and crushing equipment for the quarrying, construction and
demolition  industries.  The purchase price of GBP 181 (approximately  $294) was
financed with a loan under a bank credit facility  maturing March 2006 (see Note
E). As of September 30, 1999, Terex owned 95.76% of  Powerscreen's  issued share
capital and had taken management and operational  control of Powerscreen.  As of
October 21, 1999, Terex acquired 100% of Powerscreen's issued share capital.

On August 26, 1999, the Company acquired  Cedarapids,  Inc.  ("Cedarapids")  for
$170.  Cedarapids,  headquartered  in Cedar Rapids,  Iowa, is a manufacturer and
marketer of mobile crushing and screening equipment,  asphalt pavers and asphalt
material mixing plants.  The  acquisition was financed  through cash on hand and
approximately $125 in additional debt (see Note E).

On September 20, 1999, the Company  completed the  acquisition of certain assets
and liabilities of a manufacturer and marketer of concrete  finishing  equipment
located near Toronto, Canada.

                                       6
<PAGE>

On September 29, 1999, the Company  completed the  acquisition of certain assets
and  liabilities  of a  manufacturer  and marketer of trommels,  conveyors,  and
picking stations located in Pennsylvania.

The  Amida,  Powerscreen,  Cedarapids  and  other  acquisitions  (the  "Acquired
Businesses")  are  being  accounted  for  using the  purchase  method,  with the
purchase  price  allocated to the assets  acquired and the  liabilities  assumed
based upon their  respective  estimated fair values at the date of  acquisition.
The excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired (approximately $240.4)
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

The  preliminary  allocation of purchase price based on estimated fair values of
assets and liabilities of the Acquired Businesses are summarized as follows:

Cash.................................................$       1.4
Accounts receivable..................................      138.9
Inventories..........................................      176.5
Other current assets.................................        7.3
Property, plant and equipment........................       89.9
Goodwill.............................................      240.4

Other non-current liabilities........................      (22.7)
                                                     ---------------
                                                     $     518.0
                                                     ===============

The Company is in the process of completing certain  valuations,  appraisals and
actuarial and other studies for purposes of determining certain fair values. The
Company is also estimating costs related to plans to integrate the activities of
the  Acquired  Businesses  into the  Company,  including  plans to exit  certain
activities and consolidate and restructure  certain  functions.  The Company may
revise its preliminary allocations as additional information is obtained.

The  operating  results of each of the Acquired  Businesses  are included in the
Company's  consolidated  results of operations  since the date of its respective
acquisition.  The following pro forma summary presents the consolidated  results
of operations as though the Company  completed  the  acquisitions  of all of the
Acquired  Businesses as of the beginning of the respective period,  after giving
effect to certain  adjustments,  including  amortization  of goodwill,  interest
expense and amortization of debt issuance costs:

NOTE E - LONG-TERM DEBT AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On March 9, 1999, the Company issued and sold $100.0 aggregate  principal amount
of  8-7/8%  Series C  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2008  (the  "1999  Senior
Subordinated  Notes").  The 1999  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  were  issued at a
discount  with the Company  receiving  net  proceeds  of $94.9.  The 1999 Senior
Subordinated  Notes are jointly and  severally  guaranteed  by certain  domestic
subsidiaries (see Note J). The 1999 Senior  Subordinated  Notes were issued in a
private placement made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the offering were used
to  repay  a  portion  of the  outstanding  indebtedness  under  Terex's  credit
facilities  and for  acquisitions.  During the third  quarter of 1999,  the 1999
Senior  Subordinated  Notes were  exchanged for 1999 Senior  Subordinated  Notes
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On June 22,  1999,  the Company  issued 3.5 million  shares of common stock in a
public offering for net proceeds to the Company of $103.7.

On July 2, 1999, the Company entered into a credit  agreement for a term loan of
up to $325 to provide  the funds  necessary  to acquire  the  outstanding  share
capital of Powerscreen  and for other general  corporate  purposes.  This credit
agreement was subsequently amended and restated on August 23, 1999 to provide an
additional  term loan of up to $125 to acquire  Cedarapids.  As of September 30,
1999, the Company had borrowed $421.2 under this facility.  The term loans under
this facility mature in March 2006 and bear interest,  at the Company's  option,
at a rate of 3.00% to 3.50% per annum in excess of the adjusted  Eurodollar rate
or 2.00% to 2.50% in excess of the prime rate.

On July 28, 1999,  the Company  issued 2 million  shares of common stock for net
proceeds  to the  Company  of  $59.1.  The  shares  were  sold in a  transaction
initiated by Wellington Management Company, LLP on behalf of one of its funds.

NOTE G --COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total  non-shareowner  changes  in equity  (comprehensive  income)  include  all
changes in equity during a period except those  resulting from  investments  by,
and distributions to, shareowners.  The specific components include: net income,
deferred  gains and losses  resulting  from foreign  currency  translation,  and
minimum pension liability adjustments.  For the three months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 and the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 and 1998,  total
comprehensive income was $52.1 and $35.5, $81.2 and $21.4, respectively.

NOTE H -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties  including
product  liability  claims,  self-insurance  obligations,  tax  examinations and
guarantees.  Many  of the  exposures  are  unasserted  or  proceedings  are at a
preliminary  stage,  and it is not presently  possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the  Company.  However,  management  does not believe that
these  contingencies and uncertainties  will, in the aggregate,  have a material
adverse effect on the Company.  When it is probable that a loss has been or will
be incurred and possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability
with  respect to such  matters,  a provision  is recorded for the amount of such
estimate  or for the  minimum  amount  of a range  of  estimates  when it is not
possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates  hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state,  local and foreign  environmental  laws and  regulations,  including  the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"),
that (i) govern  activities  or operations  that may have adverse  environmental
effects,  such as discharges to air and water,  as well as handling and disposal
practices for hazardous and nonhazardous  wastes,  and (ii) impose liability for
the costs of cleaning  up, and certain  damages  resulting  from,  sites of past
spills,  disposals or other releases of hazardous  substances.  Compliance  with
such laws and regulations has, and will, require  expenditures by the Company on
a continuing basis.

The  Company's  federal  income tax returns for the years 1987  through 1989 are
currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). In December
1994, the Company received an examination  report from the IRS proposing a large
tax deficiency.  The examination  report raised many issues.  Among these issues
are  substantiation  for certain tax deductions and whether the Company was able
to use certain net operating loss carryovers  ("NOLs") to offset taxable income.
In April 1995,  the Company filed an  administrative  appeal to the  examination
report. The IRS is currently  reviewing  information the Company provided to it.
The final  outcome of this audit is subject  to the  resolution  of  complicated
legal and factual issues.

If the IRS prevails on all the issues raised,  the amount of the tax the Company
would have to pay would be  approximately  $56 plus  penalties of  approximately
$12.8 and interest  through  September  30, 1999 of  approximately  $125.7.  The
penalties  claimed by the IRS are  between  20% and 25% of the amount of the tax
deficiency  assessed  against  the  Company.  Interest  on  the  amount  of  tax
deficiency and penalties assessed against the Company is currently accruing at a
rate of 10% per annum.  If the Company is required to pay a significant  portion
of the tax  deficiency  claimed by the IRS, it may not have or be able to obtain
the money necessary to pay the tax deficiency and continue in business.

                                       9
<PAGE>
The Company  believes that it has provided  adequate  documentation  for a large
part of the tax  deductions  the IRS has  disallowed.  In addition,  the IRS has
advised the Company that it is no longer  challenging the Company's right to use
the NOLs in  question,  as well as many of the other  adjustments  raised by the
IRS.  As a result,  the Company  does not believe  that the outcome of the audit
will have a material  adverse  effect on its  financial  condition or results of
operations.  However,  the Company may lose or have to use some of its NOLs as a
result of the audit. In addition,  there is also a possibility  that the Company
will  have to pay some  amount  of tax,  penalties  and  interest  to the IRS to
resolve this matter.  The final  outcome of the audit  cannot be  determined  or
estimated at this time.  Accordingly,  the Company does not have any  additional
reserves  for amounts  which  might be due as a result of the audit  because the
loss ranges from zero to $56 plus interest and penalties.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1999

                      (in millions unless otherwise noted)


NOTE 1 -- Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

PPM Cranes,  Inc.  (sometimes  referred to as Terex Cranes - Conway  Operations)
(the  "Company" or "PPM") is engaged in the design,  manufacture,  marketing and
worldwide  distribution  and  support  of  construction   equipment,   primarily
hydraulic cranes and related spare parts.

On May 9,  1995  (the  date of  acquisition),  Terex  Corporation,  through  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc., a Delaware  corporation,  completed
the  acquisition  of all of the  capital  stock of Legris  Industries,  Inc.,  a
Delaware corporation, which then owned 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM.

The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  reflect Terex  Corporation's
basis in the assets and  liabilities of the Company which was accounted for as a
purchase  transaction.  As a result,  the debt and goodwill  associated with the
acquisition have been "pushed down" to the Company's financial statements.

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been made. Such adjustments  consist only of those of a normal
recurring  nature.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
September  30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further  information,  refer
to the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the
Company  and  its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries.   All   material   intercompany
transactions and profits have been eliminated.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND Contingencies

The Company is involved in product  liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation  of its  business.  Insurance  with third  parties is  maintained  for
certain of these items. It is  management's  opinion that none of these lawsuits
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

On March 31, 1998, Terex Corporation issued and sold $150.0 aggregate  principal
amount of 8-7/8% Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2008, which notes were exchanged
by Terex  Corporation for 8-7/8% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008 registered
under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended (the "1998  Senior  Subordinated

     Net Sales

Sales increased $176.9 million,  or approximately 56%, to $495.6 million for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1999  over  the  comparable  1998  period.
Internally  generated  growth  represented  approximately  $68  million  of this
revenue  increase  while  businesses  acquired  contributed  approximately  $109
million.

                                       23
<PAGE>

Terex  Lifting's  sales were $242.5 million for the three months ended September
30, 1999, an increase of $55.3 million or 30% from $187.2  million for the three
months ended  September 30, 1998. The increase in sales was driven by the impact
of  businesses  acquired  (approximately  $32 million)  and strong  performances
within our utility  aerial  device and  lattice  boom crane  businesses,  offset
somewhat by a decline in the North American aerial work platform and truck crane
businesses. Terex Lifting's backlog was $179.5 million at September 30, 1999 and
$169.5 million at September 30, 1998.  Backlog does not include any  significant
parts orders which are normally filled in the period ordered.  The sales mix was
approximately  9.9% parts for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared
to  approximately  11.6% parts for the  comparable  1998 period,  reflecting  an
increase in machine sales.

Terex Earthmoving sales were $244.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 1999, an increase of $114.2 million or 88% from $130.0 million for the three
months ended  September 30, 1998. The increase in sales was driven by the impact
of businesses  acquired  (approximately  $69 million),  and strong  performances
within our surface mining and off-highway truck  businesses.  Backlog was $204.2
million at September  30, 1999  compared to $62.3 million at September 30, 1998.
The sales mix was approximately 22.6% parts for the three months ended September
30,  1999  compared  to 30.2% for the  comparable  1998  period,  reflecting  an
increase in machine sales.

Net sales for  General/Corporate  in the three months ended  September  30, 1999
represent  sales from Amida  Industries,  Inc.  ("Amida")  and service  revenues
generated by Terex's parts distribution  center for services provided to a third
party.  Amida  was  acquired  by  Terex on April  1,  1999  and  produces  light
construction equipment consisting of light towers, concrete products and traffic
safety devices.  In the comparable  1998 period,  net sales consisted of service
revenues generated by Terex's parts distribution center.

     Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999  increased  $29.8
million,  or approximately 51%, to $88.5 million as a result of acquisitions and
internally  generated  growth in both the Terex  Lifting  and Terex  Earthmoving
businesses.

Terex  Lifting's  gross profit  increased  $7.3 million to $38.2 million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to $30.9 million for the three
months ended  September 30, 1998. The increase in gross profit was driven by the
performance of businesses  acquired and internally  generated growth,  offset by
the decline in the North American aerial work platform business. Gross profit as
a percentage of sales  decreased to 15.8% from 16.5% in 1998 due primarily to an
increase in lower-margin  machine  sales,  sales mix and the impact of the North
American aerial work platform business,  which reported a deterioration in gross
profit margins during the quarter.

Terex  Earthmoving's  gross profit  increased $20.9 million to $48.5 million for
the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  compared to $27.6  million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1998.  The increase in gross profit was due to
the impact of businesses  acquired and internally  generated  growth.  The gross
margin percentage  decreased to 19.9% from 21.2% in 1998 driven primarily by the
sales mix, as machine sales carry a lower gross margin than part sales.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to $38.7 million for the
three months ended  September  30, 1999 from $26.0  million for the three months
ended  September  30,  1998,  principally  reflecting  the effect of  businesses
acquired. As a percentage of sales, however, selling, general and administrative
expenses  decreased  to 7.8% for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 as
compared to 8.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Terex Lifting's selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to $15.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $10.4 million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1998.  This  increase in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  was  principally  due  to  businesses  acquired.  As a
percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the period
increased  to 6.4%  compared  to 5.6% in 1998,  reflecting  the higher  selling,
general and  administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of sales at the acquired
businesses.

Terex Earthmoving's  selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased to
$22.4  million for the three months ended  September 30, 1999 from $15.2 million
for the  comparable  period in 1998.  This  increase  in  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses was  principally due to businesses  acquired,  somewhat
offset by  continuing  cost control.  Excluding  businesses  acquired,  selling,
general and administrative  expenses actually decreased in both dollars and as a
percentage when compared to the comparable period of the prior year.

     Income from Operations

On a consolidated  basis, the Company had operating income of $49.8 million,  or
10.0% of sales,  for the three months  ended  September  30,  1999,  compared to
operating income of $32.7 million, or 10.3% of sales, for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, for the reasons mentioned above.

Terex  Lifting's  income from  operations  of $22.6 million for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999  increased by $2.1 million over the three months ended
September 30, 1998.  The increase was  principally  due to  businesses  acquired
(approximately  $4 million) and strong  performances  within our utility  aerial
device and lattice boom crane businesses,  but was offset somewhat by the losses
generated within our North American aerial work platform business.

                                       24
<PAGE>

Terex Earthmoving's income from operations of $26.1 million for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999 increased by $13.7 million over the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase was driven by the impact of businesses acquired
(approximately $7 million),  strong  performances  within our surface mining and
off-highway  truck business and continued  improvements in our manufacturing and
selling, general and administrative costs.

     Interest Expense

During the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  the  Company's net interest
expense  increased  $5.6  million to $17.5  million  from $11.9  million for the
comparable  1998 period.  This increase was due to higher debt levels related to
the 1999  acquisitions  of Powerscreen  International  plc  ("Powerscreen")  and
Cedarapids,  Inc.  ("Cedarapids")  in the three months ended  September 30, 1999
versus the comparable period in 1998.

     Net Sales

Sales increased $454.2 million,  or  approximately  50%, to $1,367.0 million for
the nine months  ended  September  30,  1999 over the  comparable  1998  period.
Internally  generated  growth  represented  approximately  $210  million of this
revenue   increase  while  businesses   acquired  by  the  Company   contributed
approximately $244 million.

Terex  Lifting's  sales were $746.9 million for the nine months ended  September
30, 1999, an increase of $186.0  million or 33% from $560.9 million for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1998. The increase in sales was driven by the impact
of businesses acquired (approximately $108 million),  strong performances within
our North American  utility aerial device and material  handling  businesses and
continued growth within our European lifting business.  This was somewhat offset
by the decline in the North American  aerial work platform  business.  The sales
mix was 9.4% parts for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1999  compared to
10.6% parts for the  comparable  1998 period,  reflecting an increase in machine
sales.

                                       25
<PAGE>

Terex  Earthmoving sales were $599.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, an increase of $252.1  million or 73% from $347.4 million for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1998.  The  increase  in sales was  driven by the
continuing  impact of the 160 rigid  off-highway  haul truck order received from
Coal India, a government  agency for coal  management in India,  improvements in
the Terex off-highway  truck business,  and businesses  acquired  (approximately
$119  million).  The sales mix was  approximately  24% parts for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1999  compared  to 30% for the  comparable  1998  period,
reflecting the impact of a significant increase in machine sales.

Net sales for  General/Corporate  in the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999
represent  sales from  Amida,  acquired  by Terex on April 1, 1999,  and service
revenues generated by Terex's parts distribution center for services provided to
a third party.  In the comparable  1998 period,  net sales  consisted of service
revenues generated by Terex's parts distribution center.

     Gross Profit

Gross  profit for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1999  increased  $72.0
million, or approximately 44%, to $236.1 million as a result of acquisitions and
internally  generated  growth in both the Terex  Lifting  and Terex  Earthmoving
businesses.

Terex Lifting's  gross profit  increased $25.9 million to $119.4 million for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  compared to $93.5  million for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1998. The increase in gross profit was driven by the
performance of businesses  acquired and internally  generated growth,  offset to
some extent by the decline in the North American aerial work platform  business.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales  decreased to 16.0% from 16.7% in 1998 due
primarily to an increase in lower-margin machine sales, sales mix and the impact
of Terex's  North  American  aerial work  platform  business,  which  reported a
deterioration in gross profit percentage during the period.

Terex  Earthmoving's  gross profit increased $43.1 million to $112.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $69.8 million for the nine
months ended  September  30,  1998.  The increase in gross profit was due to the
performance of businesses acquired,  and internally generated growth,  primarily
the Coal India order. The gross margin percentage  decreased to 18.8% from 20.1%
in 1998 driven  primarily by the sales mix, as machine sales carry a lower gross
margin than part sales.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to $98.8 million for the
nine months  ended  September  30,  1999 from $74.4  million for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1998,  principally  reflecting  the effect of  businesses
acquired. However, as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses  decreased  to 7.2% for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1999 as
compared to 8.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Terex Lifting's selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to $44.1
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 from $33.1 million for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1998.  This  increase in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  was  principally  due  to  businesses  acquired.  As a
percentage of sales, however,  selling,  general and administrative expenses for
the period remained at 5.9%, the same as in 1998. Excluding businesses acquired,
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  actually  remained  constant in
dollars and decreased as a percentage  of sales when compared to the  comparable
period of the prior year.

Terex Earthmoving's  selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased to
$50.3  million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999 from $38.8 million
for the  comparable  period  in  1998.  This  increase  was  principally  due to
businesses   acquired.   As  a  percentage  of  sales,   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased to 8.4% for the nine months ended  September
30,  1999 from  11.2%  for the  comparable  1998  period.  Excluding  businesses
acquired,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses actually decreased in
both dollars and as a percentage of sales when compared to the  comparable  1998
period.

     Income from Operations

On a consolidated  basis, the Company had operating income of $137.3 million, or
10.0% of sales,  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  compared to
operating  income of $89.7 million,  or 9.8% of sales, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, for the reasons mentioned above.

Terex  Lifting's  income from  operations  of $75.3  million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999  increased by $14.9 million over the nine months ended
September  30, 1998.  The increase was the result of internal  growth  driven by


                                       26
<PAGE>

strong  performances  within our North  American  utility  aerial  and  material
handling  businesses,  continued  growth within our European  lifting  business,
continuing  cost  control   efforts  and  the  impact  of  businesses   acquired
(approximately  $11  million),  but was  somewhat  offset by losses at our North
American aerial work platform business.

Terex Earthmoving's  income from operations of $62.6 million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999  increased by $31.6 million over the nine months ended
September 30, 1998,  primarily due to the impact of the Coal India order, strong
results in the off-highway truck business,  businesses  acquired  (approximately
$11 million), and continuing cost control efforts.

     Interest Expense

During the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  the  Company's  net interest
expense  increased  $13.1  million to $45.2  million from $32.1  million for the
comparable 1998 period.  This increase was due to higher debt levels in the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1999  versus  the  comparable   period  in  1998,
principally due to acquisitions.

     Extraordinary Items

The  Company  recorded  a charge  of $38.3  million  in the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1998 to recognize a loss on the early  extinguishment  of debt in
connection  with  the  redemption  of  certain  senior  secured  notes  and  the
refinancing of the Company's bank credit facilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash of $0.4 million was provided by  operating  activities  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. This reflects the  approximately $40 million in
cash generated by operations  during the three months ended  September 30, 1999.
Operating  results  for the nine months  before  depreciation  and  amortization
provided  $106.2  million,  and  approximately  $105.7  million was  invested in
working capital. The increase in working capital reflects the impact of the Coal
India contract and the general increase in business  activity.  Net cash used in
investing  activities was $486.0 million during the nine months ended  September
30, 1999 and  primarily  represents  the  acquisitions  of  certain  businesses
referred to below.  Net cash provided by financing  activities of $615.3 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 represents the net proceeds from
the  issuance of an  aggregate  of 5.5 million  shares of common  stock  ($162.8
million) and the 1999 Senior Subordinated Notes ($94.9 million),  and borrowings
under the Company's bank credit facilities ($421.2 million) offset by debt issue
costs and the  Company's  repayment of principal  under a bank credit  facility.
Cash and cash  equivalents  totaled  $154.1  million at September  30, 1999,  an
increase of $129.0 million from December 31, 1998.

On  April  1,  1999,  the  Company  acquired  Amida,  a  manufacturer  of  light
construction  equipment,  principally  mobile light  towers,  concrete  screeds,
motorized  front dumpers and directional  arrow boards,  at its facility in Rock
Hill, South Carolina.

The Company announced on June 15, 1999 an offer to acquire all of the issued and
to be issued share capital of Powerscreen.  On July 27, 1999, the effective date
of  acquisition,  Terex declared the offer for Powerscreen  unconditional,  with
respect  to  all  valid  acceptances  received.  Powerscreen,  headquartered  in
Dungannon,  Northern  Ireland,  is a manufacturer  and marketer of screening and
crushing  equipment for the quarrying,  construction and demolition  industries.
The purchase price of GBP 181 million  (approximately $294 million) was financed
with a loan under a bank credit  facility  maturing  March 2006. As of September
30, 1999, Terex owned 95.76% of Powerscreen's issued share capital and had taken
management and operational control of Powerscreen. As of October 21, 1999, Terex
acquired 100% of Powerscreen's issued share capital.

On  August  26,  1999,  the  Company  acquired   Cedarapids  for  $170  million.
Cedarapids,  headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is a manufacturer and marketer
of mobile crushing and screening equipment,  asphalt pavers and asphalt material
mixing  plants.   The  acquisition  was  financed   through  cash  on  hand  and
approximately $125 million in additional debt.

On September 20, 1999, the Company  completed the  acquisition of certain assets
and liabilities of a manufacturer and marketer of concrete  finishing  equipment
located near Toronto, Canada.

On September 29, 1999, the Company  completed the  acquisition of certain assets
and  liabilities  of a  manufacturer  and marketer of trommels,  conveyors,  and
picking stations located in Pennsylvania.

On June 22,  1999,  the Company  issued 3.5 million  shares of common stock in a
public offereing for net proceeds to the Company of $103.7 million.

                                       27

On July 2, 1999, the Company entered into a credit  agreement for a term loan of
up to $325  million to provide the funds  necessary  to acquire the  outstanding
share capital of  Powerscreen  and for other general  corporate  purposes.  This
credit  agreement  was  subsequently  amended and restated on August 23, 1999 to
provide an additional term loan of up to $125 million to acquire Cedarapids.  As
of  September  30,  1999,  the Company had borrowed  $421.2  million  under this
facility.  The term  loans  under  this  facility  mature in March 2006 and bear
interest,  at the  Company's  option,  at a rate of 3.00% to 3.50%  per annum in
excess of the adjusted  Eurodollar rate or 2.00% to 2.50% in excess of the prime
rate.

On July 28, 1999,  the Company  issued an additional 2 million  shares of common
stock for net proceeds to the Company of approximately  $59 million.  The shares
were sold in a transaction  initiated by Wellington  Management Company,  LLP on
behalf of one of its funds.

On November 3, 1999,  the Company  acquired  the Material  Handling  Business of
Teledyne Specialty  Equipment,  a division of Allegheny  Teledyne  Incorporated.
This business  manufactures  and markets self  propelled,  light  weight,  truck
mountable   forklifts  at  its   facilities  in  Canal   Winchester,   Ohio  and
Vrouwenparochie, The Netherlands.

Since the beginning of 1995, including the acquisitions noted above, the Company
has  invested  approximately  $960  million to  strengthen  its core  businesses
through sixteen  strategic  acquisitions.  The Company expects that acquisitions
and new product  development  will  continue to be important  components  of its
growth strategy and is continually  reviewing acquisition  opportunities.  Terex
will continue to pursue  strategic  acquisitions  which complement the Company's
core operations,  offer cost reduction opportunities as well as distribution and
purchasing synergies and provide product diversification.

Debt reduction and an improved capital  structure are major focal points for the
Company.  In this regard,  the Company  regularly  reviews its  alternatives  to
improve  its  capital   structure  and  to  reduce  debt  service  through  debt
refinancings,  issuance of equity,  asset sales,  including the sale of business
units, or any combination thereof.

The Company's  businesses are working capital  intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories,  capital expenditures
for  repair,  replacement  and  upgrading  of  existing  facilities,  as well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant
debt service  requirements  including  semi-annual interest payments on the 1998
Senior  Subordinated  Notes and the 1999 Senior  Subordinated  Notes and monthly
interest payments on the Company's bank credit facilities.  Management  believes
that cash  generated  from  operations,  together with the Company's bank credit
facilities,  provides the Company with adequate  liquidity to meet the Company's
operating and debt service requirements.


CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

     Internal Revenue Service

The  Company's  federal  income tax returns for the years 1987  through 1989 are
currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). In December
1994, the Company received an examination  report from the IRS proposing a large
tax deficiency.  The examination  report raised many issues.  Among these issues
are  substantiation  for certain tax deductions and whether the Company was able
to use certain net operating loss carryovers  ("NOLs") to offset taxable income.
In April 1995,  the Company filed an  administrative  appeal to the  examination
report. The IRS is currently  reviewing  information the Company provided to it.
The final  outcome of this audit is subject  to the  resolution  of  complicated
legal and factual issues.

If the IRS prevails on all the issues raised,  the amount of the tax the Company
would  have  to pay  would  be  approximately  $56  million  plus  penalties  of
approximately   $12.8  million  and  interest  through  September  30,  1999  of
approximately  $125.7 million.  The penalties claimed by the IRS are between 20%
and 25% of the  amount  of the tax  deficiency  assessed  against  the  Company.
Interest on the amount of tax  deficiency  and  penalties  assessed  against the
Company is  currently  accruing  at a rate of 10% per annum.  If the  Company is
required to pay a significant  portion of the tax deficiency claimed by the IRS,
it may not  have  or be  able  to  obtain  the  money  necessary  to pay the tax
deficiency and continue in business.

The Company  believes that it has provided  adequate  documentation  for a large
part of the tax  deductions  the IRS has  disallowed.  In addition,  the IRS has
advised the Company that it is no longer  challenging the Company's right to use
the NOLs in  question,  as well as many of the other  adjustments  raised by the
IRS.  As a result,  the Company  does not believe  that the outcome of the audit
will have a material  adverse  effect on its  financial  condition or results of
operations.  However,  the Company may lose or have to use some of its NOLs as a
result of the audit. In addition,  there is also a possibility  that the Company

                                       28
<PAGE>

will  have to pay some  amount  of tax,  penalties  and  interest  to the IRS to
resolve this matter.  The final  outcome of the audit  cannot be  determined  or
estimated at this time.  Accordingly,  the Company does not have any  additional
reserves  for amounts  which  might be due as a result of the audit  because the
loss ranges from zero to $56 million plus interest and penalties.

         Year 2000 Issue

The Year 2000 ("Y2K")  problem is the result of computer  programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable  year. Thus, the year
1999 is  represented  by the number "99" in many legacy  software  applications.
Consequently,  on  January  1,  2000 the year  will  jump  back to "00" for many
non-Y2K compliant applications.  To systems that are non-Y2K compliant, the time
will seem to have reverted back 100 years.  Accordingly,  when  computing  basic
lengths of time, computer programs,  certain building infrastructure  components
(including  elevators,  alarm systems,  telephone  networks,  sprinkler systems,
security   access   systems  and  certain  HVAC  systems)  and  any   additional
time-sensitive  software  that are non-Y2K  compliant may recognize a date using
"00" as the Year 1900. This could result in system  failures or  miscalculations
which could cause personal injury,  property  damage,  disruption of operations,
and/or  delays in payments  from the  Company's  customers,  any or all of which
could materially  adversely affect the Company's business,  financial condition,
liquidity or results of operations.

The Company has conducted a  company-wide  assessment  of its computer  systems,
products and operations infrastructure to identify computer hardware,  software,
and process  control  systems that are not Y2K compliant.  The Company  believes
that it has identified  those  business-critical  computer systems which are not
presently Y2K compliant, and has instituted a plan to replace, upgrade or modify
these systems by the end of 1999.  However,  the Company  acquired  thirteen new
companies  during  1999 and  1998,  six of which  are  located  in  Europe.  The
business-critical systems of certain of the newly acquired companies,  including
O&K  Mining  GmbH  and  Powerscreen,  were  not  Y2K  compliant  at the  time of
acquisition. The Company has instituted a plan to replace, upgrade or modify the
systems at these  acquired  companies  and expects to be completed by the end of
1999;  however,  no  assurance  can be given  that the  replacement,  upgrade or
modification  of the systems at these  companies will be timely  completed.  The
total cost associated with required modifications to become Y2K compliant is not
expected to exceed $5  million,  and a  significant  portion of these costs were
planned upgrades to the current financial and operating systems.

The Company has also initiated  communications with third parties whose computer
systems'  functionality  could impact the  Company.  These  communications  will
facilitate  coordination  of Y2K  solutions  and  will  permit  the  Company  to
determine the extent to which the Company may be vulnerable to failures of third
parties to address their own Y2K issues. To date, the Company has not identified
any significant issues with respect to third parties.

The failure to correct a material Y2K problem  could  result in an  interruption
in, or a failure of, certain  normal  business  activities or  operations.  Such
failures  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  the  Company's  results  of
operations,  liquidity and financial  condition.  Due to the general uncertainty
inherent in the Y2K problem,  resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year
2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and customers,  the Company is unable to
determine at this time  whether the  consequences  of Y2K  failures  will have a
material impact on the Company's  results of operations,  liquidity or financial
condition, and as such, has not yet established a contingency plan to handle the
most  reasonably  likely  worst case  scenario.  The  Company's  Y2K  project is
expected to  significantly  reduce the Company's level of uncertainty  about the
Y2K  problem,  in  particular,  about the Y2K  compliance  and  readiness of its
material   suppliers  and  customers.   The  Company  believes  that,  with  the
implementation  of new  business  systems and  completion  of its Y2K project as
scheduled,  the possibility of significant  interruptions  of normal  operations
should be reduced.

         Euro

On  January  1,  1999,  11 of the 15  member  countries  of the  European  Union
established  fixed conversion rates between their existing  currencies  ("legacy
currencies") and one common currency,  the euro. The euro now trades on currency
exchanges and may be used in business  transactions.  Beginning in January 2002,
new  euro-denominated  bills and coins will be issued and legacy currencies will
be withdrawn from circulation.  The Company's operating subsidiaries affected by
the euro  conversion are assessing the systems and business issues raised by the
euro currency  conversion.  These issues include,  among others, (1) the need to
adapt  computer  and  other  business   systems  and  equipment  to  accommodate
euro-denominated  transaction  and (2) the  competitive  impact of  cross-border
price  transparency,  which may make it more  difficult for businesses to charge
different  prices  for  the  same  products  on  a   country-by-country   basis,
particularly  once the euro currency is issued in 2002. The Company  anticipates
that  the  euro  conversion  will  not have a  material  adverse  impact  on its
financial condition or results of operations.

         Other

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties, including
product  liability  claims,  self-insurance  obligations,  tax  examinations and
guarantees.  Many  of the  exposures  are  unasserted  or  proceedings  are at a
preliminary  stage,  and it is not presently  possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the  Company.  However,  the Company does not believe that
these  contingencies and uncertainties  will, in the aggregate,  have a material
adverse effect on the Company. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred
and  possible to make  reasonable  estimates  of the  Company's  liability  with
respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate
or for the  minimum  amount  of a range of  estimates  when it not  possible  to
estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates  hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its manufacturing  operations.  As a result, Terex is subject to a wide range of
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws
and regulations govern actions that may have adverse  environmental  effects and
also require  compliance  with certain  practices when handling and disposing of
hazardous  and  nonhazardous  wastes.  These laws and  regulations  also  impose
liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from,  cleaning up sites, past
spills,  disposals and other releases of hazardous  substances.  Compliance with
these laws and  regulations  has, and will  continue to require,  the Company to
make expenditures. The Company does not expect that these expenditures will have
a material adverse effect on its business or profitability.

       ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The  Company  is  exposed to certain  market  risks  which  exist as part of its
ongoing   business   operations  and  the  Company  uses  derivative   financial
instruments,  where appropriate, to manage these risks. The Company, as a matter
of policy, does not engage in trading or speculative  transactions.  For further
information on accounting policies related to derivative financial  instruments,
refer to the Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31, 1998.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to
third party purchases,  intercompany  product shipments and intercompany  loans.
The Company is also  exposed to  fluctuations  in the value of foreign  currency
investments  in  subsidiaries  and cash flows related to  repatriation  of these
investments.   Additionally,  the  Company  is  exposed  to  volatility  in  the
translation of foreign  currency  earnings to U.S.  Dollars.  Primary  exposures
include the U.S.  Dollars versus  functional  currencies of the Company's  major
markets,  which include the British Pound, German Mark, French Franc and Italian
Lira. The Company assesses  foreign  currency risk based on  transactional  cash
flows and  identifies  naturally  offsetting  positions  and  purchases  hedging
instruments to protect anticipated exposures. At September 30, 1999, the Company
had foreign currency  contracts which were hedges of firm  commitments  totaling
approximately $14 million.  The fair market value of these  arrangements,  which
represents  the cost to settle these  contracts,  was an asset of  approximately
$0.1 million at September 30, 1999.

Interest Rate Risk

The  Company  is exposed  to  interest  rate  volatility  with  regard to future
issuances  of fixed rate debt and  existing  issuances  of  variable  rate debt.
Primary  exposure  includes  movements  in the U.S.  prime  rate and the  London
Interbank Offer Rate  ("LIBOR").  The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce
interest rate volatility.  At September 30, 1999, the Company had  approximately
$211 million of interest rate swaps fixing interest rates between 6.6% and 9.5%.
The fair market value of these arrangements, which represents the cost to settle
these contracts,  was a liability of approximately $2.0 million at September 30,
1999.

                                            TRANCHE C CREDIT  AGREEMENT dated as
                                    of July 2, 1999,  as amended and restated as
                                    of August 23, 1999 (this "Agreement"), among
                                    TEREX CORPORATION,  a Delaware  corporation,
                                    the LENDERS  party hereto and CREDIT  SUISSE
                                    FIRST  BOSTON,  a bank  organized  under the
                                    laws of  Switzerland  and acting through its
                                    New York branch, as administrative agent and
                                    collateral agent for the Lenders.


         Terex  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Borrower"),   the
Powerscreen  Lenders (such term,  and each other  capitalized  term used but not
defined in this preamble, having the definition assigned to it in Article I) and
CSFB are parties to a Tranche C Credit  Agreement  dated as of July 2, 1999,  as
amended  and  restated as of July 12,  1999,  and as amended as of July 23, 1999
(the "Original Tranche C Credit  Agreement"),  pursuant to which the Powerscreen
Lenders  agreed to extend  credit  in the form of  Powerscreen  Loans to be made
during the Powerscreen  Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not
in excess of $325,000,000.

         The Borrower has informed the Lenders that it intends to acquire all of
the  outstanding  capital  stock  of  Cedarapids,   Inc.,  an  Iowa  corporation
("Cedarapids"),   from  a   subsidiary   of  Raytheon   Company  for   aggregate
consideration   of   approximately   $170,000,000   in  cash  (the   "Cedarapids
Acquisition").  In connection with the Cedarapids Acquisition,  the Borrower has
requested  (a) that the  Original  Tranche  C Credit  Agreement  (including  all
exhibits and  schedules  thereto) be amended and restated in the form hereof and
(b) that the Cedarapids Lenders extend credit in the form of Cedarapids Loans to
be made on the Effective Date in an aggregate  principal amount not in excess of
$125,000,000.

         The proceeds of the Loans will be used as follows:

                  (a) The proceeds of the Powerscreen  Loans will be contributed
         or  advanced  to Bidco and will be used by Bidco  solely (a) to finance
         the  acquisition  of  Powerscreen   Shares  (whether  pursuant  to  the
         Powerscreen  Offer,  through open market  purchases  made in accordance
         with applicable law following the Unconditional Date or pursuant to the
         provisions of Section 428 et. seq. of the U.K.  Companies Act of 1985),
         (b) to finance proposals to holders of options over Powerscreen  Shares
         in accordance  with Rule 15 of the City Code, (c) to repay existing net
         indebtedness  of Powerscreen  and (d) to pay related fees and expenses.
         To the extent not used  pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) above,  the
         proceeds  of the  Powerscreen  Loans  may be used by the  Borrower  for
         general corporate  purposes as otherwise  permitted  herein;  provided,
         however,  that the proceeds  from all  Powerscreen  Loans used for such
         general  corporate   purposes  shall  not  exceed  $50,000,000  in  the
         aggregate.

                  (b) The proceeds of the  Cedarapids  Loans will be used solely
         to finance the purchase of the outstanding  capital stock of Cedarapids
         and to pay related fees and expenses.



<PAGE>



         The  Powerscreen  Lenders  are  willing  to so amend  and  restate  the
Original  Tranche C Credit  Agreement  (including  all  exhibits  and  schedules
thereto),  and the  Cedarapids  Lenders are  willing to extend  such  additional
credit  in the form of  Cedarapids  Loans to the  Borrower,  in each case on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

         Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I

                                   Definitions

         "Additional  L/C  Facility"  shall  mean a  credit  facility,  and  any
refinancing or replacement of such facility,  entered into by the Borrower,  one
or more of the Subsidiary  Borrowers and one or more Lenders or Existing Lenders
that shall have as its sole purpose the issuance of letters of credit to be used
by the  Borrower  and one or more of the  Subsidiary  Borrowers  in the ordinary
course of business and that shall require prompt  reimbursement upon any funding
of any such letter of credit.

         "Additional  L/C Issuing Bank" shall mean any Lender or Existing Lender

pursuant to the Additional L/C Facility.

         "Additional  Subordinated  Notes" shall mean subordinated  notes issued
from time to time by the  Borrower,  or assumed in  connection  with a Permitted
Acquisition;  provided  that (a) except in the case of  Additional  Subordinated

notes do not require any scheduled  payment of principal prior to a date that is
12 months after the Maturity Date and (c) the subordination provisions and other

Interest Period multiplied by Statutory Reserves.

         "Administrative    Questionnaire"    shall   mean   an   Administrative
Questionnaire in the form of Exhibit A.

         "Affiliate"  shall mean, when used with respect to a specified  person,

(a) the Prime  Rate in effect on such day and (b) the  Federal  Funds  Effective
Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%. If for any reason the  Administrative
Agent shall have  determined  (which  determination  shall be conclusive  absent
manifest  error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate
for any reason,  including the inability or failure of the Administrative  Agent
to obtain  sufficient  quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition
thereof,  the Alternate  Base Rate shall be determined  without regard to clause
(b) of the  preceding  sentence  until  the  circumstances  giving  rise to such
inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change
in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds  Effective Rate shall be effective on the
effective  date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds  Effective
Rate,  respectively.  The term "Prime  Rate" shall mean the rate of interest per
annum publicly  announced from time to time by the  Administrative  Agent as its
prime rate in effect at its  principal  office in New York City;  each change in
the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change is publicly  announced
as being effective.  The term "Federal Funds Effective Rate" shall mean, for any
day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight  Federal funds  transactions
with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as
published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York,  or, if such rate is not so published  for any day that is a Business Day,
the average of the quotations for the day for such transactions  received by the
Administrative  Agent from three Federal  funds  brokers of recognized  standing
selected by it.

         "Applicable  Percentage"  shall mean,  for any day, with respect to any
Eurocurrency Loan or ABR Loan, as the case may be, the applicable percentage set
forth below under the caption  "Eurocurrency  Loan Spread" or "ABR Loan Spread",

relevant date of determination;  provided that, until the first day of the month
immediately  following  the date that is 90 days after the Effective  Date,  the
Applicable Percentage shall be deemed to be in Category 2:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              Consolidated

Less than 4.50 to 1.00                             3.00%                2.00%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Except as provided for in the proviso to the preceding paragraph, each change in
the Applicable  Percentage resulting from a change in the Consolidated  Leverage
Ratio shall be  effective  with  respect to all Loans on the date of delivery to
the Administrative Agent of the financial  statements and certificates  required
by Section 5.04(a) or (b) based upon the  Consolidated  Leverage Ratio as of the
end of the most recent fiscal quarter  included in such financial  statements so
delivered,  and shall remain in effect until the date immediately  preceding the
next date of delivery of such financial  statements and certificates  indicating
another  such  change.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  at any time  after the

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

                                   The Credits

         SECTION  2.01.  Commitments.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  and
relying upon the  representations  and warranties  herein set forth, each Lender
agrees, severally and not jointly, (a) to make Powerscreen Loans to the Borrower
during the Powerscreen  Availability Period in accordance with the terms hereof,
in an aggregate  principal  amount not to exceed its Powerscreen  Commitment and
(b) to make Cedarapids Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date in accordance
with the terms  hereof,  in an  aggregate  principal  amount  not to exceed  its
Cedarapids  Commitment.  Amounts  paid or prepaid in respect of Loans may not be
reborrowed.

         SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting  of Loans  made by the  Lenders  ratably  in  accordance  with  their
respective  Powerscreen  Commitment or  Cedarapids  Commitment,  as  applicable;
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).  The
Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is
(i) an integral  multiple of $100,000 and not less than $2,500,000 or (ii) equal
to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

         (b)  Subject  to  Sections  2.08  and  2.15,  each  Borrowing  shall be
comprised  entirely  of ABR  Loans or  Eurocurrency  Loans as the  Borrower  may
request pursuant to Section 2.03;  provided that, unless the Borrower shall have

Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



<PAGE>

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.,  New York City  time,  and the  Administrative  Agent  shall,
promptly upon receipt  thereof,  credit the amounts so received to an account as
designated  by the  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 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 Borrower  severally
agree  to  repay  to  the   Administrative   Agent   forthwith  on  demand  such
corresponding  amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such  amount is made  available  to the  Borrower  until the date such amount is
repaid  to the  Administrative  Agent  at (i) in the case of the  Borrower,  the
interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans  comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such  Lender,  the Federal  Funds  Effective  Rate.  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, the Borrower
shall not be  entitled  to  request  any  Interest  Period  with  respect to any
Eurocurrency Borrowing that would end after the Maturity Date.



<PAGE>


         SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the

confirmed with a written and duly completed  Borrowing  Request) (a) in the case
of a Eurocurrency  Borrowing,  not later than 12:00 (noon),  New York City time,
three Business Days before a proposed  Borrowing,  and (b) 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

and shall specify the following information:  (i) whether the Borrowing is to be
a Eurocurrency  Borrowing or an ABR  Borrowing;  (ii) the date of such Borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to

such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency  Borrowing,  the initial  Interest Period

a Cedarapids Borrowing;  and (vii) if such Borrowing is a Powerscreen Borrowing,
whether it is  subject to the  conditions  of  Section  4.02 or 4.03;  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 as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any
such notice,  then the  requested  Borrowing  shall be an ABR  Borrowing.  If no
Interest Period with respect to any  Eurocurrency  Borrowing is specified in any
such  notice,  then the  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) The Borrower

         (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts  evidencing the  indebtedness of the 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 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 the  Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the  Administrative  Agent
hereunder from the Borrower or any Subsidiary  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 absent manifest error; provided,  however, that
the failure of any Lender or the Administrative  Agent to maintain such accounts
or any error  therein  shall not in any  manner  affect the  obligations  of the
Borrower to repay the Loans 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 a form and
substance  reasonably  acceptable to the Administrative  Agent and the Borrower.
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  10.04) be represented  by one or more  promissory  notes payable to the
payee named therein or its registered assigns.

terminated as provided  herein,  a commitment fee (a "Commitment  Fee") equal to

the preceding  quarter (or other period  commencing  with the Effective  Date or
ending on the date of the initial Powerscreen Borrowing or the date on which the
Powerscreen  Commitment  of such  Lender  shall  expire or be  terminated).  All
Commitment  Fees shall be  computed  on the basis of the  actual  number of days
elapsed  in a year of 360 days.  The  Commitment  Fee due to each  Lender  shall
commence to accrue on the  Effective  Date and shall cease to accrue on the date
on which the Powerscreen Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated
as provided herein;  provided,  however, that no Commitment Fee shall be due and
payable until the occurrence of the initial Powerscreen Borrowing.

         (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers and the  Administrative
Agent the fees set forth in the Syndication  Letter,  the Engagement  Letter and
the Cedarapids Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the

or 366 days, as the case may be, when the  Alternate  Base Rate is determined by
reference to the Prime 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,  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) 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.

         (c)  Interest  on each Loan shall be payable  on the  Interest  Payment
Dates  applicable to such Loan except as otherwise  provided in this  Agreement.
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 the Borrower shall default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming
due hereunder,  by acceleration or otherwise,  or under any other Loan Document,
the  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, at the
rate that would  otherwise be applicable  thereto  pursuant to Section 2.06 plus
2.00% and (b) in the case of any interest  payable on any Loan or any Commitment
Fee or other  amount  payable  hereunder,  at a rate per annum equal to the rate
applicable to ABR Loans plus 2.00%.

         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 London interbank  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, the Administrative  Agent shall, as soon as
practicable  thereafter,   give  written  or  telecopy  notice  explaining  such
determination  to the  Borrower  and  the  Lenders.  In the  event  of any  such
determination,  until the  Administrative  Agent shall have advised the Borrower
and the  Lenders  that the  circumstances  giving  rise to such notice no longer
exist,  any request by the Borrower  for a  Eurocurrency  Borrowing  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.

         SECTION  2.09.  Termination  and  Reduction  of  Commitments.  (a)  The
Powerscreen  Commitments  shall  automatically  be  reduced  on the date of each
Powerscreen  Borrowing by an amount equal to the aggregate  principal  amount of
Powerscreen Loans so borrowed, and any remaining unused Powerscreen  Commitments
shall automatically  terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day
of  the  Powerscreen  Availability  Period.  The  Cedarapids  Commitments  shall
automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date.

         (b) Upon at least three  Business  Days' prior  irrevocable  written or
telecopy  notice to the  Administrative  Agent,  the Borrower may at any time in
whole permanently  terminate,  or from time to time in part permanently  reduce,
the Powerscreen Commitments;  provided,  however, that each partial reduction of
the Powerscreen  Commitments  shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.

         SECTION 2.10.  Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings.  The 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 into an
ABR  Borrowing,  (b) not later than  12:00  (noon),  New York City  time,  three
Business Days prior to conversion or continuation,  to convert any ABR Borrowing
into a  Eurocurrency  Borrowing or to continue any  Eurocurrency  Borrowing as a
Eurocurrency Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than
12:00 (noon),  New York City 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:

                  (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  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 the 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,  the
         Borrower  shall  pay,  upon  demand,  any  amounts  due to the  Lenders
         pursuant to Section 2.16;



<PAGE>


                  (v) any  portion of a  Borrowing  maturing  or  required to be
         repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as
         a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

                  (vi) any portion of a  Eurocurrency  Borrowing  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;

                  (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any  Eurocurrency
         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  Borrowings  with Interest  Periods  ending on or prior to
         such Repayment  Date and (B) the ABR  Borrowings  would not be at least
         equal  to the  principal  amount  of  Borrowings  to be  paid  on  such
         Repayment Date; and

                  (viii) upon  notice to the  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  Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a
         Eurocurrency   Borrowing  and  (B)  unless  repaid,  each  Eurocurrency
         Borrowing  shall be  converted  to an ABR  Borrowing  at the end of the
         Interest Period applicable thereto.

         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 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,  the
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 the 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),
automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.11.  Repayment of  Borrowings.  (a) The Borrower shall pay to
the  Administrative  Agent, for the account of the Powerscreen  Lenders,  on the
dates set forth  below,  or if any such date is not a Business  Day, on the next
succeeding  Business  Day (each such date being a  "Powerscreen  Loan  Repayment
Date"),  a principal  amount of the Powerscreen  Loans (as adjusted from time to
time pursuant to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13(e)) equal to the percentage set forth
below  opposite such date  multiplied by the aggregate  principal  amount of all
Powerscreen  Loans  made  to  the  Borrower  hereunder  and  outstanding  on the
Powerscreen  Commitment Termination 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:

         (c) To the  extent  not  previously  paid,  all Loans  shall be due and

principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the date of 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) The 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 telecopy  notice (or  telephone  notice  promptly  confirmed by
written or  telecopy  notice) to the  Administrative  Agent (i) in the case of a
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, given before 12:00 (noon), New York City
time,  three  Business  Days  before such  prepayment  and (ii) in the case of a
prepayment  of ABR 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  $100,000  and not  less  than
$2,500,000.

         (b)  Optional  prepayments  of Loans  shall be  allocated  against  the
then-outstanding  Powerscreen  Loans and  Cedarapids  Loans  pro rata,  and such
prepayments  shall  be  applied  (i)  first,  against  the  remaining  scheduled
installments of principal due in respect of the Powerscreen Loans and Cedarapids
Loans under Sections 2.11(a) and (b), respectively, in the next twelve months in
the order of maturity and (ii) second, pro rata against such remaining scheduled
installments of principal.



<PAGE>


         (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 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 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 the date of payment.

         SECTION  2.13.  Mandatory  Prepayments.  (a) 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 $250,000 from any single event or series of related events and (ii)
Asset  Sales the  aggregate  Net Cash  Proceeds  of which are not  greater  than
$10,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower),  the outstanding Loans shall be
prepaid in  accordance  with Section  2.13(e) in an aggregate  principal  amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

         (b) No later  than the  earlier  of (i) 90 days  after  the end of each
fiscal year of the Borrower and (ii) the date on which the financial  statements
with  respect to such fiscal  year are  delivered  pursuant to Section  5.04(a),
outstanding  Loans shall be prepaid in  accordance  with  Section  2.13(e) in an
aggregate  principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year
then ended; provided,  however, that no such prepayment shall be required if the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year shall be less than
3.85 to 1.00.

         (c) In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary  shall receive Net
Cash Proceeds from (i) the issuance of any Additional Subordinated Notes or (ii)
the issuance or incurrence of any other  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 (i) to fund the  consideration  for a Permitted
Acquisition,  (ii) to  prepay  outstanding  Loans  in  accordance  with  Section
2.13(e),  and/or (iii) to prepay outstanding  revolving loans under the Existing
Credit  Agreement,  without  reducing the  commitments to provide such revolving
loans, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

         (d) 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 Loans, then
the outstanding  Loans shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(e) in an
aggregate   principal  amount  equal  to  100%  of  such  Casualty  Proceeds  or
Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be.

         (e) Subject to paragraph  (h) below,  each  prepayment  of  outstanding
Loans  required to be made  pursuant to any paragraph of this Section 2.13 shall
be made by the Borrower pro rata among the  then-outstanding  Powerscreen  Loans
and  Cedarapids  Loans,  and shall be applied (i) first  against  the  remaining
scheduled  installments  of principal  due in respect of  Powerscreen  Loans and
Cedarapids  Loans  under  Sections  2.11(a) and (b),  respectively,  in the next
twelve  months in the order of maturity and (ii)  second,  pro rata against such
remaining scheduled installments of principal.



<PAGE>


         (f) The Borrower 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 the  Borrower  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.

         (g) To the extent possible consistent with Section 2.13(e),  amounts to
be applied  pursuant to this  Section 2.13 to the  prepayment  of Loans shall be
applied first to prepay  outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each
such  application  shall,  at the option of the  Borrower,  be applied to prepay
Eurocurrency  Loans  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 to prepay Eurocurrency Loans on the last day
of the applicable Interest Periods (or, at the direction of the Borrower, on any
earlier  date) until all  outstanding  Loans have been  prepaid or until all the
allocable  cash on deposit  with  respect to the Loans has been  exhausted.  For
purposes of this Agreement,  the term "Prepayment Account" shall mean an account
established  by the 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
(g).  The  Administrative  Agent will,  at the request of the  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  Borrowings  to  be  prepaid;  provided,   however,  that  (i)  the
Administrative  Agent shall not be required to make any investment  that, in its
sole  judgment,  would  require or cause the  Administrative  Agent to be in, or
would result in any, violation of any law, statute,  rule or regulation and (ii)
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. The 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  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 Section 8.02, the Administrative  Agent may, in its sole discretion,
apply all  amounts on deposit in the  Prepayment  Account to satisfy  any of the
Obligations.  The 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 (g) shall not be
construed to alter the application required by Section 2.13(e).

         (h) Any  Lender  may elect,  by notice to the  Administrative  Agent in
writing (or by telephone  or telecopy  promptly  confirmed in writing)  prior to
12:00  (noon),  New York City time,  at least three  Business  Days prior to any
prepayment of Loans  required to be made by the Borrower for the account of such
Lender  pursuant  to this  Section  2.13,  to  cause  all or a  portion  of such
prepayment  to be applied  instead to prepay  Tranche A Term Loans in accordance
with the Existing Credit Agreement.

         SECTION  2.14.  Reserve  Requirements;  Change  in  Circumstances.  (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this
Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
administration   thereof  by  any  Governmental   Authority   charged  with  the
interpretation  or  administration  thereof  (whether or not having the force of
law)  shall  change  the basis of  taxation  of  payments  to any  Lender of the
principal  of or  interest on any  Eurocurrency  Loan made by such Lender or any
Fees or other amounts payable  hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes
imposed on the overall net income of such  Lender by the  jurisdiction  in which
such Lender has its principal  office or by any political  subdivision or taxing
authority  therein),  or shall impose,  modify or deem  applicable  any reserve,
special deposit or similar  requirement  against assets of, deposits with or for
the  account  of or credit  extended  by any  Lender  (except  any such  reserve
requirement  which is reflected  in the  Adjusted  LIBO Rate) or shall impose on
such Lender or the London  interbank  market any other condition  affecting this
Agreement or Eurocurrency  Loans made by such Lender or  participation  therein,
and the result of any of the  foregoing  shall be to  increase  the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender  hereunder  (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise)  by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,  then
the  Borrower  will pay to such Lender upon  demand  such  additional  amount or
amounts as will  compensate  such Lender for such  additional  costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

         (b) If any Lender shall have  determined  that the  adoption  after the
Effective Date of any law, rule,  regulation,  agreement or guideline  regarding
capital adequacy,  or any change after the Effective Date in any such law, rule,
regulation,   agreement  or  guideline  (whether  such  law,  rule,  regulation,
agreement  or  guideline  has  been  adopted)  or  in  the   interpretation   or
administration   thereof  by  any  Governmental   Authority   charged  with  the
interpretation  or administration  thereof,  or compliance by any Lender (or any
lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's  holding company with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any Governmental  Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's  capital or on the capital of such  Lender's  holding
company,  if any, as a consequence  of this  Agreement or the Loans made by such
Lender  pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's
holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change
or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies
of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital  adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material,  then from time to time the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender such  additional  amount or amounts as will  compensate  such
Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

         (c) A  certificate  of a Lender  setting  forth the  amount or  amounts
necessary  to  compensate  such Lender or its holding  company as  specified  in
paragraph  (a) or (b) above  shall be  delivered  to the  Borrower  and shall be
conclusive  absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender 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 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
right to demand such  compensation.  The  protection  of this  Section  shall be
available to each Lender 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.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  2.15.  Change  in  Legality.  (a)  Notwithstanding  any  other
provision of this Agreement, if, after the Effective Date, any change in any law
or regulation or in the  interpretation  thereof by any  Governmental  Authority
charged with the administration or interpretation thereof 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 Borrower 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 will not  thereafter  (for such  duration) be converted  into
         Eurocurrency Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing
         (or to convert  an ABR  Borrowing  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 (or
         a request to  continue an ABR Loan as such for an  additional  Interest
         Period or to convert a Eurocurrency  Loan into an ABR 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 which  event all such
         Eurocurrency  Loans shall be automatically  converted to such ABR Loans
         as of the  effective  date of such notice as provided in paragraph  (b)
         below.

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 the Borrower 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 the Borrower.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  2.16.  Indemnity.  The Borrower  shall  indemnify  each Lender
against any loss or expense,  including any break-funding cost, 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 prior to the end of the Interest Period
in effect therefor,  (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan to an ABR Loan
or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any  Eurocurrency  Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect  therefor,  or (iii)
any Eurocurrency Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurocurrency 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  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 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 Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         SECTION  2.17.  Pro Rata  Treatment.  Except as  provided  in  Sections
2.13(h) and 2.15, each  Borrowing,  each payment of the Commitment Fees and each
reduction of the  Commitments  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).  Each payment or prepayment of
principal  of the  Loans,  each  payment  of  interest  on the  Loans  and  each
conversion or  continuation  of any Borrowing  shall be allocated pro rata among
the  Lenders  in  accordance  with the  respective  principal  amounts  of their
outstanding Loans. 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.

         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
the  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
Loan or Loans and as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans
shall be proportionately  less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans or
the Existing Loans of any other Lender or Existing Lender,  such Lender shall be
deemed  simultaneously  to have  purchased  from such other  Lender or  Existing
Lender at face value,  and shall  promptly  pay to such other Lender or Existing
Lender the purchase  price for, a  participation  in the Loans or the applicable
Existing Loans, as the case may be, of such other Lender or Existing Lender,  so
that the  aggregate  unpaid  principal  amount  of the  Loans or the  applicable
Existing Loans and participations in Loans or the applicable Existing Loans held
by each Lender and each Existing  Lender shall be in the same  proportion to the
aggregate  unpaid  principal  amount  of  all  Loans  and  Existing  Loans  then
outstanding  as the principal  amount of such Lender's  Loans and Existing Loans
prior to such exercise of banker's lien,  setoff or  counterclaim or other event
was to the principal amount of all Loans and Existing Loans outstanding prior to
such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided,
however,  that 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.  The Borrower  expressly  consents to the
foregoing  arrangements  and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a
Loan or any Existing  Loan 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 the  Borrower to such  Lender by reason  thereof as fully as if
such Lender had made a Loan or Existing  Loan,  as  applicable,  directly to the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  2.19.  Payments.  (a) The  Borrower  shall  make each  payment
(including  principal  of or  interest  on any  Borrowing  or any  Fees or other
amounts)  hereunder  and under any other Loan Document  prior to 1:00 p.m.,  New
York City time, on the date when due in  immediately  available  funds,  without
setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to such account
as shall from time to time be specified  in a writing  delivered to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent.

         (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 the
Borrower  or any other Loan Party  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 and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts,  deductions,
charges  or  withholdings   imposed  by  any  Governmental   Authority  and  all
liabilities with respect thereto,  excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net
income of the Administrative  Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee
thereof,  including a participation holder (any such entity a "Transferee")) and
(ii) franchise  taxes imposed on the net income of the  Administrative  Agent or
any Lender (or Transferee),  in each case by the jurisdiction  under the laws of
which the  Administrative  Agent or such Lender (or  Transferee) is organized or
any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies,  imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually,
being called "Taxes"). If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required
to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
other  Loan  Document  to  the  Administrative  Agent  or  any  Lender  (or  any
Transferee),  (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount  necessary so
that after making all required deductions  (including  deductions  applicable to
additional  sums payable  under this Section 2.20) the  Administrative  Agent or
such Lender (or  Transferee),  as the case may be, shall receive an amount equal
to the sum it would have  received had no such  deductions  been made,  (ii) the
Borrower  or such  other Loan Party  shall  make such  deductions  and (iii) the
Borrower  or such other Loan Party  shall pay the full  amount  deducted  to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

         (b)  In  addition,   the  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 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 ("Other Taxes").

         (c) The  Borrower  will  indemnify  the  Administrative  Agent and each
Lender (or  Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (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 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 or a Lender  (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 or any
Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.



<PAGE>


         (d) As soon as  practicable  after the date of any  payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the relevant Governmental
Authority,   the  Borrower  or  such  other  Loan  Party  will  deliver  to  the
Administrative  Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original
or  a  certified  copy  of a  receipt  issued  by  such  Governmental  Authority
evidencing payment thereof.

         (e) Each Lender (or  Transferee)  that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction  other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia  (a  "Non-U.S.  Lender")  that is  entitled to an  exemption  from,  or
reduction of, withholding tax under the law of the United States with respect to
payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
deliver to the 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 the
Borrower as will permit such  payments to be made  without  withholding  or at a
reduced rate;  provided that such Non-U.S.  Lender has received  written  notice
from the Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction
and containing all applicable  documentation.  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender
shall deliver such documentation promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of
any documentation previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.  Notwithstanding
any other  provision of this  Section  2.20(e),  a Non-U.S.  Lender shall not be
required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) that such
Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

         (f) The  Borrower  shall not 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 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); provided that
this paragraph (f) shall not apply to any  Transferee  that becomes a Transferee
as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the
request of the Borrower,  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 (e) above.

         (g) Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall require any Lender (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).



<PAGE>


         SECTION 2.21.  Assignment of Commitments  Under Certain  Circumstances;
Duty to  Mitigate.  (a) In the  event  (i) any  Lender  delivers  a  certificate
requesting  compensation  pursuant to Section 2.14,  (ii) any Lender  delivers a
notice  described  in Section  2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental  Authority on account of any
Lender  pursuant to Section  2.20,  the  Borrower  may, at its sole  expense and
effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to
in Section 10.04(b)),  upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative  Agent,
require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with
and  subject  to  the  restrictions  contained  in  Section  10.04),  all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall
assume such assigned  obligations  (which assignee may be another  Lender,  if a
Lender accepts such  assignment);  provided that (x) such  assignment  shall not
conflict  with  any law,  rule or  regulation  or  order  of any  court or other
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received
the prior written consent of the  Administrative  Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld,  and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid
to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum
of the  principal  of and  interest  accrued to the date of such  payment on the
outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the
account of such Lender  hereunder  (including any amounts under Section 2.14 and
Section  2.16);  provided  further  that,  if  prior to any  such  transfer  and
assignment the  circumstances  or event that resulted in such Lender'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 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
pursuant to  paragraph  (b) below),  or if such Lender  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,  as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to
make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.

         (b) If (i) any Lender shall  request  compensation  under Section 2.14,
(ii) any  Lender  delivers  a notice  described  in  Section  2.15 or (iii)  the
Borrower  is  required  to  pay  any  additional  amount  to any  Lender  or any
Governmental Authority on account of any Lender,  pursuant to Section 2.20, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender 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)  (x) to file any  certificate or document  reasonably  requested in
writing by the  Borrower or (y) 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.  The Borrower  hereby agrees to pay all reasonable  costs
and  expenses  incurred  by any  Lender in  connection  with any such  filing or
assignment, delegation and transfer.

         SECTION  2.22.  Pro Rata  Treatment of Loans and  Existing  Term Loans.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any funds to be used to prepay Loans
pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13 shall be  allocated  pro rata between the Loans
and the  Existing  Term Loans  based upon the  aggregate  outstanding  principal
amount of the Loans  and  Existing  Term  Loans on the date of  prepayment.  The
Lenders shall also be entitled to share pro rata in any  prepayments of the type
described in Section 2.12 or 2.13 that are made to Existing  Lenders pursuant to
the  Existing  Credit  Agreement.  The pro  rata  amount  allocated  to Loans in
accordance with this Section 2.22 shall be applied as otherwise required by this
Agreement.

         The Borrower  represents and warrants to the Administrative  Agent, the
Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders that:

         SECTION  3.01.  Organization;  Powers.  The  Borrower  and  each of the
Subsidiaries (a) is a corporation or partnership duly incorporated or formed, as
the case may be, validly existing and in good standing (if applicable) under the
laws of the  jurisdiction  of its  incorporation  or  organization,  (b) has all
requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its
business as now conducted  and as proposed to be conducted,  (c) is qualified to
do  business  in, and is in good  standing  in,  every  jurisdiction  where such
qualification  is  required,  except  where the failure so to qualify  could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material  Adverse Effect,  and (d) has the
corporate  power and authority to execute,  deliver and perform its  obligations
under  each of the  Loan  Documents  and  each  other  agreement  or  instrument
contemplated  hereby to which it is or will be a party  and,  in the case of the
Borrower, to borrow hereunder.

         SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by
each  Loan  Party  of  each  of the  Loan  Documents,  the  consummation  of the
Powerscreen  Acquisition  and the  Cedarapids  Acquisition  and  the  borrowings
hereunder  (collectively,  the  "Transactions") (a) have been duly authorized by
all requisite  corporate and, if required,  stockholder  action and (b) will not
(i) violate (A) any  provision  of law,  statute,  rule or  regulation,  (B) the
certificate  or articles of  incorporation  or other  constitutive  documents or
by-laws of the  Borrower or any  Subsidiary,  (C) any order of any  Governmental
Authority  applicable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary or (D) any provision of
any  indenture,  agreement  or other  instrument  to which the  Borrower  or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may
be bound,  (ii)  result in a breach of or  constitute  (alone or with  notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under,  or give rise to any right to accelerate
or to require the prepayment,  repurchase or redemption of any obligation  under
any such indenture,  agreement or other instrument,  except, in the case of each
of clause (i)(A), (i)(D) and (ii), where such violation, breach or default could
not  reasonably  be  expected  to result in a Material  Adverse  Effect or (iii)
result in the  creation or  imposition  of any Lien upon or with  respect to any
property  or assets  now owned or  hereafter  acquired  by the  Borrower  or any
Subsidiary  (other  than any  Lien  created  hereunder  or  under  the  Security
Documents).

         SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. Each Loan Document has been duly executed
and  delivered by each Loan Party party thereto and  constitutes a legal,  valid
and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in
accordance  with  its  terms,  subject  to  applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
reorganization,  moratorium or other laws affecting  creditors' rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.

         SECTION 3.04.  Governmental  Approvals.  No action, consent or approval
of,  registration  or  filing  with  or any  other  action  by any  Governmental
Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except for
(i) recordation of certain amendments of, or modifications to, the Mortgages and
(ii) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect, except
where the failure to obtain the same could not  reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.


<PAGE>


         SECTION 3.05.  Financial  Statements.  (a) The Borrower has  heretofore
made available to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheets and statements
of income and changes in  financial  condition  as of and for each of the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1996,  December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998, audited
by and  accompanied by the opinion of  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  independent
public accountants,  and as of and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 1999,
and June 30,  1999,  certified  by a  Financial  Officer of the  Borrower,  (ii)
Powerscreen's  consolidated  balance sheets and statements of income and changes
in  financial  condition  as of and for each of the fiscal years ended March 31,
1997,  March 31,  1998 and March 31,  1999,  audited by and  accompanied  by the
opinion of KPMG, chartered accountants,  or Arthur Anderson,  independent public
accountants,   and  (iii)  (A)  Cedarapids'   consolidated  balance  sheets  and
statements  of income and changes in  financial  condition as of and for each of
the fiscal years ended  December 31, 1996,  December 31, 1997,  and December 31,
1998, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,
independent  public  accountants  and  (B)  Cedarapids'  unaudited  consolidated
balance sheet and  statement of income and changes in financial  condition as of
and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999. In the case
of the Borrower's financial statements, such financial statements present fairly
in all material  respects the financial  condition and results of operations and
cash flows of the Borrower and the  consolidated  Subsidiaries  as of such dates
and for such periods.  Such balance  sheets and the notes  thereto  disclose all
material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and the consolidated
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof required to be reflected in accordance with
GAAP. Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on
a consistent  basis.  The Borrower has  examined  the  financial  statements  of
Powerscreen  and  Cedarapids  and has no reason to suspect  that such  financial
statements  do  not  present  fairly  in all  material  respects  the  financial
condition and results of operations  and cash flows of (x)  Powerscreen  and its
consolidated subsidiaries and (y) Cedarapids and its consolidated  subsidiaries,
in each case, as of such dates and for such periods.

         (b) The  Borrower  has  heretofore  delivered  to the  Lenders  (i) its
unaudited pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet as of March 31, 1999,  prepared
giving effect to the Powerscreen  Acquisition as if it had occurred on such date
and (ii) its unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999,
prepared  giving  effect  to the  Powerscreen  Acquisition  and  the  Cedarapids
Acquisition  as if each such  acquisition  had  occurred on such date.  Such pro
forma  balance  sheets  have been  prepared in good faith by or on behalf of the
Borrower,  based on the assumptions  previously  provided to the  Administrative
Agent (which  assumptions  are believed by the Borrower on the Effective Date to
be reasonable),  are based on the best information  available to the Borrower as
of the date of delivery thereof,  accurately reflect all adjustments required to
be made to give  effect to the  Powerscreen  Acquisition  and/or the  Cedarapids
Acquisition,  as the case may be, and  present  fairly on a pro forma  basis the
estimated  consolidated  financial position of the Borrower and the consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such date,  assuming that the Powerscreen  Acquisition and/or
the Cedarapids  Acquisition,  as the case may be, had actually  occurred at such
date.

         SECTION 3.06. No Material  Adverse  Change.  There has been no material
adverse  change  in the  business,  assets,  operations,  prospects,  condition,
financial  or  otherwise,  or  material  agreements  of  the  Borrower  and  its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 1998.



<PAGE>


         SECTION 3.07. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) Each of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has fee title to, or valid leasehold interests
in, all its material  properties and assets (including all Mortgaged  Property),
except for  defects in title that do not  interfere  with its ability to conduct
its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for
their intended  purposes.  All such material  properties and assets are free and
clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

         (b) Each of the  Borrower  and its  Subsidiaries  has  complied  in all
material  respects with all obligations under all material leases to which it is
a party and all such leases are in full force and effect.  Each of the  Borrower
and its Subsidiaries  enjoys peaceful and undisturbed  possession under all such
material leases.

         (c) The Borrower  has not  received any written  notice of, nor has any
knowledge of, any pending or contemplated  condemnation proceeding affecting the
Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.

         (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated under
any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or
otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

         SECTION  3.08.  Subsidiaries.  Schedule  3.08  sets  forth  as  of  the
Effective Date a list of all Subsidiaries and the percentage  ownership interest
of the  Borrower  therein.  The  shares  of  capital  stock or  other  ownership
interests so indicated on Schedule  3.08 are fully paid and non  assessable  and
are owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries, free
and clear of all Liens,  except for Liens created under the Security  Documents.
Each  Inactive  Subsidiary  (a) owns assets  having a fair  market  value not in
excess of $50,000 in the aggregate,  (b) does not conduct any business  activity
and (c) is not an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness.

         SECTION 3.09. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth
on Schedule 3.09,  there are not any actions,  suits or proceedings at law or in
equity  or by or  before  any  Governmental  Authority  now  pending  or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower,  threatened  against or affecting the Borrower or any
of its  Subsidiaries or any business,  property or rights of any such person (i)
that involve any Loan Document or the  Transactions or (ii) as to which there is
a reasonable  possibility  of an adverse  determination  and that,  if adversely
determined in the ordinary  course of such action,  suit or  proceeding,  at the
time of such determination, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (b) None of the  Borrower  or any of its  Subsidiaries  or any of their
respective  material  properties  or assets  is in  violation  of,  nor will the
continued  operation  of their  material  properties  and  assets  as  currently
conducted violate, any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning,  building,
Environmental Law,  ordinance,  code or approval or any building permits) or any
restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged Property,  or is in
default with respect to any judgment,  writ, injunction,  decree or order of any
Governmental  Authority,  where such  violation or default  could  reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (c)  Certificates  of  occupancy  and  permits  are in effect  for each
Mortgaged  Property as currently  constructed,  except where the failure to have
the same  could not  reasonably  be  expected  to result in a  Material  Adverse
Effect.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  3.10.  Agreements.  (a)  Neither the  Borrower  nor any of the
Subsidiaries  is a party  to any  agreement  or  instrument  or  subject  to any
corporate  restriction  that has  resulted  or could  reasonably  be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its  Subsidiaries  is in default in
any manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument
evidencing Indebtedness,  or any other material agreement or instrument to which
it is a party or by which it or any of its  properties  or assets  are or may be
bound,  where such default could  reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.11. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) Neither the Borrower nor
any of its  Subsidiaries  is  engaged  principally,  or as one of its  important
activities,  in the  business of  extending  credit for the purpose of buying or
carrying Margin Stock.

         (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used,  whether directly
or indirectly,  and whether  immediately,  incidentally  or ultimately,  for any
purpose  that  entails  a  violation  of,  or that  is  inconsistent  with,  the
provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

         SECTION 3.12.  Investment  Company Act;  Public Utility Holding Company
Act.  Neither the Borrower  nor any of its  Subsidiaries  is (a) an  "investment
company" as defined in, or subject to regulation  under, the Investment  Company
Act of 1940 or (b) a "holding  company" as defined in, or subject to  regulation
under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

         SECTION  3.13.  Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of
the Loans only for the purposes specified in the preamble to this Agreement.

         SECTION 3.14.  Tax Returns.  Each of the Borrower and its  Subsidiaries
has filed or  caused  to be filed all  Federal,  state,  local and  foreign  tax
returns or materials required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to
be paid all taxes due and payable by it and all  assessments  received by it (in
each case giving effect to applicable  extensions),  except taxes that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or
such  Subsidiary,  as applicable,  shall have set aside on its books reserves in
accordance with GAAP.

         SECTION 3.15. No Material  Misstatements.  None of (a) the Confidential
Information Memoranda or (b) any other information, report, financial statement,
exhibit or schedule  furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the
Administrative  Agent or any Lender in connection  with the  negotiation  of any
Loan  Document or included  therein or  delivered  pursuant  thereto  contained,
contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted,  omits or
will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the  statements  therein,
in the light of the  circumstances  under which they were,  are or will be made,
not  misleading;  provided  that to the  extent  any such  information,  report,
financial  statement,  exhibit  or  schedule  was based  upon or  constitutes  a
forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith
and utilized  assumptions  believed by it to be  reasonable  and due care in the
preparation  of  such  information,  report,  financial  statement,  exhibit  or
schedule.



<PAGE>


         SECTION 3.16.  Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Each of the Borrower and its
respective ERISA  Affiliates is in compliance in all material  respects with the
applicable  provisions of ERISA and the Code and the  regulations  and published
interpretations  thereunder.  No  ERISA  Event  has  occurred  or is  reasonably
expected to occur that,  when taken  together  with all other such ERISA Events,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present
value of all benefit  liabilities  under each Plan  (based on those  assumptions
used to fund such Plan) did not, as of December  31,  1998,  exceed by more than
$3,400,000  the fair  market  value of the assets of such Plan,  and the present
value of all  benefit  liabilities  of all  underfunded  Plans  (based  on those
assumptions  used to fund each such  Plan) did not,  as of  December  31,  1998,
exceed by more than  $5,200,000  the fair market value of the assets of all such
underfunded Plans.

         (b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects
with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective  requirements
of  the   governing   documents   for  such  plan  except  to  the  extent  such
non-compliance  could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  With respect to each Foreign  Pension Plan,  none of the Borrower,  its
Affiliates or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in
a  transaction  which  would  subject the  Borrower or any of its  Subsidiaries,
directly or indirectly, to a material tax or civil penalty. With respect to each
Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements
furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded  liabilities in accordance  with
applicable law and prudent business  practice or, where required,  in accordance
with ordinary  accounting  practices in the  jurisdiction  in which such Foreign
Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities,  with respect to
such  Foreign  Pension  Plans  could not  reasonably  be expected to result in a
Material  Adverse  Effect.  There are no  actions,  suits or claims  (other than
routine claims for benefits)  pending or threatened  against the Borrower or any
of its  Affiliates  with  respect  to  any  Foreign  Pension  Plan  which  could
reasonably  be  expected,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  to  result  in a
Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.17.  Environmental  Matters. (a) The properties owned, leased
or operated by each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries  (the  "Properties") do
not contain  any  Hazardous  Materials  in amounts or  concentrations  which (i)
constitute,  or constituted a violation of, (ii) require  Remedial Action under,
or  (iii)  could  give  rise  to  liability  under,  Environmental  Laws,  which
violations, Remedial Actions and liabilities, in the aggregate, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

         (b) The  Properties  and all operations of each of the Borrower 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  reasonably  be expected  to not 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 the  Borrower  or its  Subsidiaries,  which  Releases  or
threatened Releases, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect;



<PAGE>


         (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its  Subsidiaries  has received any
notice  of an  Environmental  Claim in  connection  with the  Properties  or the
current or former operations of the Borrower or such Subsidiaries or with regard
to any person whose liabilities for  environmental  matters the Borrower or such
Subsidiaries  has retained or assumed,  in whole or in part,  contractually,  by
operation of law or otherwise,  which,  in the  aggregate,  could  reasonably be
expected  to result in a Material  Adverse  Effect,  nor do the  Borrower or its
Subsidiaries  have reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is
being threatened; and

         (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 the Borrower 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.

         SECTION 3.18. Insurance.  Schedule 3.18 sets forth a true, complete and
correct  description  of all insurance  maintained by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries  as of the Effective  Date. As of such date,  such  insurance is in
full force and effect and all premiums have been duly paid. Each of the Borrower
and its  Subsidiaries  has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and
liabilities as are in accordance with normal industry practice.

         SECTION 3.19. Security Documents. (a) The Pledge Agreement is effective
to create in favor of the  Collateral  Agent,  for the  ratable  benefit  of the
Secured  Parties,  a legal,  valid  and  enforceable  security  interest  in the
Collateral  (as  defined  in the  Pledge  Agreement)  and,  with  respect to all
Collateral  previously  delivered  to and in the  possession  of the  Collateral
Agent, constitutes,  or in the case of Collateral to be delivered in the future,
will constitute, a fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest
in, all right, title and interest of the pledgors thereunder in such Collateral,
in each case prior and superior in right to any other person.

         (b) The  Security  Agreement  is  effective  to  create in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid
and enforceable  security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security
Agreement) and, together with the financing statements previously filed or to be
filed in the  future,  constitutes,  or in the case of any future  filing,  will
constitute,  a fully  perfected  Lien on, and  security  interest in, all right,
title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such Collateral (other than the
Intellectual Property, as defined in the Security Agreement), in each case prior
and  superior  in right to any other  person,  other than with  respect to Liens
expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

         (c) The  Security  Agreement  currently  on file in the  United  States
Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office constitutes a
fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the  grantors  thereunder  in the  Intellectual  Property  (as defined in the
Security  Agreement),  in each  case  prior and  superior  in right to any other
person (it being  understood  that  subsequent  recordings  in the United States
Patent  and  Trademark  Office  and the United  States  Copyright  Office may be
necessary to perfect a lien on registered trademarks, trademark applications and
copyrights  acquired by the grantors after the Effective Date).  With respect to
the  Intellectual  Property  owned by any of the Cedarapids  Companies,  when an
addendum to the Security  Agreement  specifying  such  Intellectual  Property is
filed in the United  States  Patent and  Trademark  Office and the United States
Copyright Office, the Security Agreement shall also constitute a fully perfected
Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors
thereunder in the Intellectual  Property owned by the Cedarapids  Companies,  in
each case prior and superior in right to any other person.


<PAGE>


         (d) The  Mortgages  are  effective,  or, in the case of the  Cedarapids
Mortgages,  will be effective,  to create in favor of the Collateral  Agent, 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 constitute, or, in the case of
the  Cedarapids  Mortgages  upon filing in the  locations  specified in Schedule
3.19(d) 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.

         SECTION  3.20.  Location  of Real  Property  and Leased  Premises.  (a)
Schedule  3.20(a) lists  completely  and correctly as of the Effective  Date all
real  property  owned by the Borrower  and the  Subsidiaries  and the  addresses
thereof.  The Borrower and the Subsidiaries own in fee all the real property set
forth on Schedule 3.20(a).

         (b) Schedule 3.20(b) lists completely and correctly as of the Effective
Date all real  property  leased by the  Borrower  and the  Subsidiaries  and the
addresses  thereof.  The Borrower and the Subsidiaries  have valid leases in all
the real property set forth on Schedule 3.20(b).

         SECTION 3.21.  Labor Matters.  As of the Effective  Date,  there are no
strikes,  lockouts or slowdowns  against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
pending or, to the  knowledge of the Borrower,  threatened.  The hours worked by
and payments  made to employees  of the Borrower and its  Subsidiaries  have not
been in  violation  of the Fair  Labor  Standards  Act or any  other  applicable
Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All payments due
from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made
against the  Borrower or any such  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 the Borrower or such  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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.

         SECTION  3.22.  Solvency.  Immediately  after the  consummation  of the
Transactions  and  following  the making of each Loan and after giving effect to
the  application  of the proceeds of such Loan, (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  conducted  as of the  Effective  Date and is
proposed to be conducted following the consummation of the Transactions.

         SECTION 3.23. Year 2000. All disclosures in the Borrower's  latest Form
10-Q relating to the Borrower's  efforts to modify its computer and  information
systems and systems containing embedded microchips in order to address Year 2000
compliance,  and any risks  associated  therewith,  do not  contain  any  untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements contained therein not materially  misleading in the light
of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

         SECTION 3.24. Powerscreen Offer Documents.  Attached hereto as Schedule
3.24(a)  is a true  and  correct  copy of the  Powerscreen  Press  Release,  and
attached hereto as Schedule 3.24(b) is a true and correct copy of the definitive
documentation for the Powerscreen Offer (the "Powerscreen Offer Document").  The
Powerscreen  Offer Document and any other documents  relating to the Powerscreen
Offer  furnished to the Lenders contain all the material terms and conditions of
the  Powerscreen  Offer  to the  extent  required  by  applicable  law,  rule or
regulation  and  correspond  to  the  terms  and  conditions  contained  in  the
Powerscreen Press Release in all material respects.


                                   ARTICLE IV

record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged  Properties) and decrees and orders
of any Governmental Authority, whether now in effect or hereafter enacted unless

the  conduct  of such  business  and keep such  property  in  working  order and
condition  and from time to time  make,  or cause to be made,  all  needful  and

as the Administrative  Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require from
time to time to protect their interests; deliver original or certified copies of

         (c) If at any time the area in which the  Premises  (as  defined in the
Mortgages)  are located is  designated  (i) a "flood  hazard  area" in any Flood
Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency  Management Agency (or any
successor  agency),   obtain  flood  insurance  in  such  total  amount  as  the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may from time
to time require,  and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program
as set forth in the Flood Disaster  Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended
from time to time, or (ii) a "Zone 1" area, obtain earthquake  insurance in such
total amount as the  Administrative  Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required
Lenders may from time to time require.

         (d)  With  respect  to  any  Mortgaged  Property,  carry  and  maintain
comprehensive   general  liability  insurance  including  the  "broad  form  CGL
endorsement"  and  coverage  on an  occurrence  basis  against  claims  made for
personal  injury  (including  bodily  injury,  death and  property  damage)  and
umbrella  liability  insurance  against  any and all  claims,  in no event for a
combined single limit of less than that in effect on the Effective Date,  naming
the Collateral Agent as an additional insured, on forms reasonably  satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent.

         (e)  Notify  the   Administrative   Agent  and  the  Collateral   Agent
immediately  whenever any separate insurance  concurrent in form or contributing
in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 5.02

and the Collateral Agent a duplicate original copy of such policy or policies.

         (f) In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section 5.02, it
is understood and agreed that:

                  (i) none of the  Administrative  Agent,  the  Lenders or their
         respective  agents or employees  shall be liable for any loss or damage
         insured by the insurance  policies required to be maintained under this
         Section 5.02, it being  understood  that (A) the Borrower and the other
         Loan  Parties  shall look solely to their  insurance  companies  or any
         other parties other than the aforesaid parties for the recovery of such
         loss or damage and (B) such insurance companies shall have no rights of
         subrogation against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
         Lenders  or their  agents or  employees.  If,  however,  the  insurance
         policies do not  provide  waiver of  subrogation  rights  against  such
         parties,  as required above,  then the Borrower  hereby agrees,  to the
         extent  permitted  by law,  to waive  its  right of  recovery,  if any,
         against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and
         their agents and employees; and

                  (ii) the  designation of any form, type or amount of insurance
         coverage  by the  Administrative  Agent,  the  Collateral  Agent or the
         Required  Lenders under this Section 5.02 shall in no event be deemed a
         representation,  warranty or advice by the  Administrative  Agent,  the
         Collateral Agent or the Lenders that such insurance is adequate for the
         purposes of the business of the Borrower  and its  Subsidiaries  or the
         protection  of  their  properties  and the  Administrative  Agent,  the
         Collateral  Agent and the  Required  Lenders  shall have the right from
         time to time to require the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to keep
         other  insurance in such form and amount as the  Administrative  Agent,
         the Collateral  Agent or the Required  Lenders may reasonably  request;
         provided  that  such  insurance  shall be  obtainable  on  commercially
         reasonable terms.

imposed  upon it or upon its income or  profits  or in respect of its  property,
before the same shall  become  delinquent  or in default,  as well as all lawful
claims for labor,  materials and supplies or otherwise  that,  if unpaid,  could

required with respect to any such obligation,  tax, assessment,  charge, levy or
claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith
by  appropriate  proceedings  and the Borrower shall have set aside on its books
reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and such contest  operates
to suspend collection of the contested obligation, tax, assessment or charge and
enforcement of a Lien and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property, there is no risk
of forfeiture of such property.

Federal  Taxpayer  Identification  Number.  The  Borrower  and  each  Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding
sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform  Commercial Code or
otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all
times following such change to have a valid,  legal and perfected first priority
security  interest  in all the  Collateral.  The  Borrower  and each  Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion
of the Collateral owned or held by the Borrower is damaged or destroyed.

<PAGE>


                  (j) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of
         the Required  Lenders,  when taken  together  with all other such ERISA

         Borrower  and its ERISA  Affiliates  in an aggregate  amount  exceeding
         $5,000,000;

                  (k) any  security  interest  purported  to be  created  by any

         properties covered thereby,  except to the extent that any such loss of
         perfection or priority results from the failure of the Collateral Agent
         to maintain possession of certificates  representing securities pledged
         under the Pledge  Agreement  and except to the extent that such loss is
         covered by a lender's title  insurance  policy and the related  insurer
         promptly after such loss shall have  acknowledged  in writing that such
         loss is covered by such title insurance policy; or

                  (l) there shall have occurred a Change in Control.

Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(g) or
(h) with respect to the  Borrower)  occurs and is  continuing,  and has not been
waived by the Required Lenders,  then the Administrative Agent, with the consent
of the Required Lenders, may, and upon request of the Required Lenders shall, by
written notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at
the same or different  times:  (i) terminate  forthwith the Commitments and (ii)
declare the Loans then  outstanding  to be forthwith due and payable in whole or
in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document,
shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment,  demand, protest or
any other notice of any kind,  all of which are hereby  expressly  waived by the
Borrower,  anything  contained  herein  or in any  other  Loan  Document  to the
contrary notwithstanding

         (b) If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(g) or (h) relating
to the Borrower occurs,  the Commitments shall  automatically  terminate and the
principal of the Loans then outstanding,  together with accrued interest thereon
and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other  liabilities  of the Borrower  accrued
hereunder and under any other Loan Document,  shall automatically become due and
payable,  without presentment,  demand, protest or any other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby  expressly  waived by the Borrower,  anything  contained
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding



<PAGE>


         (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,  during
the period  commencing  with the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of the
Powerscreen  Commitment  Termination Date and the Powerscreen  Offer Termination
Date,  the  Administrative  Agent  and the  Lenders  shall  not be  entitled  to
terminate the  Powerscreen  Commitments,  rescind this  Agreement or prevent any
funding of the  Powerscreen  Offer  (including  the  acquisition  of Powerscreen
Shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 428 et. seq. of the U.K.  Companies
Act of 1985 and the  funding  of  proposals  made to  holders  of  options  over
Powerscreen  Shares in accordance  with Rule 15 of the City Code) nor to declare
the Powerscreen  Loans due and payable in whole or in part or exercise any other
right or remedy under any Loan  Document or exercise any setoff or similar right
arising on the basis of misrepresentation or Event of Default or otherwise if to
do so would  prevent the funding of the  Powerscreen  Offer in  accordance  with
Section 4.02 unless (i) an Event of Default  specified  in paragraph  (b) (other
than an Event of Default  arising solely as a result of the operation of Section
8.01(h)(vi))  shall  have  occurred;  (ii) an  event of the  kind  described  in
paragraphs  (g) and (h) of  Section  8.01 shall have  occurred  with  respect to
Bidco, Powerscreen or any of Powerscreen's  subsidiaries that would be deemed to
be a  Significant  Subsidiary  if  such  subsidiary  were  a  subsidiary  of the
Borrower;  provided,  however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply where Bidco
is not permitted to lapse the Powerscreen Offer as a result of such event having
occurred with respect to  Powerscreen  or any of its  Significant  Subsidiaries;
(iii) any of the  representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01, 3.02
or 3.03, as they relate to the Borrower or Bidco,  shall not be true and correct
in all material  respects on the date of any  Powerscreen  Borrowing of the type
described  in Section  4.02 with the same  effect as though made on such date or
(iv) any of the Powerscreen Offer Conditions Precedent, unless waived in writing
by the Required  Lenders  (such waiver being  conclusively  evidenced by written
notice  from the  Administrative  Agent to the  Borrower)  shall  not have  been
satisfied on the date of any such Powerscreen Borrowing; provided, however, that
this  clause (iv) shall not apply  where the event or  circumstance  which would
otherwise cause the relevant  Powerscreen  Offer  Condition  Precedent not to be
satisfied  is a  waiver  of a  condition  of the  Powerscreen  Offer by Bidco in
circumstances  where  Bidco  would  not  otherwise  have  been able to lapse the
Powerscreen Offer in accordance with Note 2 to Rule 13 of the City Code.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

         In order to expedite the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement,
CSFB is hereby appointed to act as Administrative  Agent and Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Lenders (for purposes of this Article IX, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the "Agents").  Each of
the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender hereby  irrevocably  authorizes
the Agents to take such  actions  on behalf of such  Lender 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.  The  Administrative
Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any
implied  authority,  (a) to receive on behalf of the  Lenders  all  payments  of
principal of and interest on the Loans and all other  amounts due to the Lenders
hereunder,  and promptly to  distribute  to each Lender its proper share of each
payment so received;  (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the
Borrower  of any  Event of  Default  specified  in this  Agreement  of which the
Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency
hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial
statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
pursuant  to this  Agreement  or the other Loan  Documents  as  received  by the
Administrative  Agent.  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.



<PAGE>


         Neither  the Agents nor any of their  respective  directors,  officers,
employees  or agents  shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct,  or
be  responsible  for any  statement,  warranty or  representation  herein or the
contents of any document  delivered in  connection  herewith,  or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the terms,  conditions,  covenants or
agreements  contained in any Loan Document.  The Agents shall not be responsible
to the Lenders for the due execution,  genuineness,  validity, enforceability or
effectiveness  of this  Agreement or any other Loan  Documents,  instruments  or
agreements.  The Agents  shall in all cases be fully  protected  in  acting,  or
refraining from acting,  in accordance with written  instructions  signed by the
Required Lenders and, except as otherwise  specifically  provided  herein,  such
instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all
the Lenders.  Each Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary,  be
entitled to rely on any  instrument or document  believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and  correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper  person or
persons.  Neither the Agents nor any of their  respective  directors,  officers,
employees or agents shall have any  responsibility  to the Borrower or any other
Loan Party on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any
Lender of any of its  obligations  hereunder  or to any Lender on account of the
failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Borrower
or any other  Loan Party of any of their  respective  obligations  hereunder  or
under any other Loan  Document or in connection  herewith or therewith.  Each of
the Agents may  execute  any and all duties  hereunder  by or through  agents or
employees  and  shall be  entitled  to rely  upon the  advice  of legal  counsel
selected by it with respect to all matters  arising  hereunder  and shall not be
liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in  accordance  with
the advice of such counsel.

         The Lenders  hereby  acknowledge  that neither Agent shall be under any
duty to take any  discretionary  action  permitted to be taken by it pursuant to
the provisions of this  Agreement  unless it shall be requested in writing to do
so by the Required Lenders.

         Subject to the  appointment  and  acceptance  of a  successor  Agent as
provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and
the Borrower.  Upon any such  resignation,  the successor to such Agent shall be
selected in accordance  with Article VIII of the Existing  Credit  Agreement and
such successor Agent selected thereunder shall serve as the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral  Agent, as the case may be,  hereunder.  Without  limiting the
generality  of the  foregoing,  it is  understood  and agreed that, at any time,
there shall be only one Collateral Agent for all of the Secured Parties.  If all
Existing Loans and other amounts owing under the Existing Credit  Agreement have
been repaid and all commitments  under the Existing  Credit  Agreement have been
terminated,  the  Required  Lenders  shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent. 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,  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 any  appointment  as
Agent  hereunder by a successor bank, 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  obligations
hereunder.  After the Agent's  resignation  hereunder,  the  provisions  of this
Article IX and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.



<PAGE>


         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 the 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 counsel fees and compensation of
agents and employees paid for services  rendered on behalf of the Lenders,  that
shall not have been  reimbursed  by the Borrower  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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party; 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  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.

however,  that  (i)  except  in the  case of an  assignment  to a  Lender  or an

(which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld) and (y) the amount of the
Commitment or Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the  Administrative  Agent) shall not be less
than  $5,000,000  (or, if less,  the entire  remaining  amount of such  Lender's
Commitment or Loans,  as  applicable),  (ii) the parties to each such assignment
shall  execute  and  deliver  to the  Administrative  Agent  an  Assignment  and
Acceptance,  together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (iii)
the assignee,  if it shall not be a Lender,  shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an  Administrative  Questionnaire.  For purposes of this Section 10.04(b),
"Approved  Fund"  shall  mean,  with  respect to any Lender  that is a fund that
invests  in bank  loans,  any other fund that  invests  in bank  loans  which is
managed  or  advised  by the same  investment  advisor  as such  Lender or by an
affiliate of such investment advisor.  Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, 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 and 10.05,
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 Commitments 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 the Borrower or any  Subsidiary  or the
performance  or  observance  by the  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 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(a) 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 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  Borrower,  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 and the Borrower,  the Administrative Agent, 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 Borrower,  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 the  Borrower  and the
Administrative  Agent to such  assignment,  the  Administrative  Agent shall (i)
accept such  Assignment and Acceptance,  (ii) record the  information  contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  No
assignment  shall be  effective  unless it has been  recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph (e).

         (f)  Each  Lender  may  without  the  consent  of the  Borrower  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 and 2.20 to the same extent as if
they  were  Lenders  and (iv) the  Borrower,  the  Administrative  Agent 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
Borrower  relating to the Loans and to approve any  amendment,  modification  or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments,  modifications
or waivers  decreasing any fees payable  hereunder or the amount of principal of
or the rate at which  interest is payable on the Loans,  extending any scheduled
principal  payment  date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans,
releasing  the Borrower or any  Subsidiary  Guarantor or all or any  substantial
part of the Collateral or increasing or extending the  Commitment  applicable to
such participant).



<PAGE>


         (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed  assignment or participation  pursuant to this Section
10.04,  disclose  to  the  assignee  or  participant  or  proposed  assignee  or
participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by
or on behalf of the Borrower;  provided  that,  prior to any such  disclosure of
information  designated by the Borrower as  confidential,  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 10.16.

         (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,  and this Section  shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest, 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) The  Borrower  shall not  assign or  delegate  any of its rights or
duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the  Administrative  Agent
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  Borrower,  the  option to  provide to the
Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting  Lender would  otherwise
be obligated to make to the Borrower  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
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 10.04,  (i)
any SPC may (x) with notice to, but without  the prior  written  consent of, the
Borrower and the  Administrative  Agent and without  paying any  processing  fee
therefore, 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  10.04(j) may not be amended or modified  without the written consent of
such SPC.

         SECTION 10.05. Expenses;  Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral  Agent 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)  or  incurred  by the
Administrative  Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the
enforcement  or protection of its rights in connection  with this  Agreement and
the  other  Loan  Documents  or in  connection  with  the  Loans  hereunder,  as
applicable, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath,
Swaine & Moore and Linklaters & Paines, counsel for the Administrative Agent and
the  Collateral   Agent,  and,  in  connection  with  any  such  enforcement  or
protection,  the fees,  charges and  disbursements  of any other counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

         (b) The Borrower  agrees to indemnify  the  Administrative  Agent,  the
Collateral  Agent,  each Lender,  each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons
and each of their  respective  directors,  officers,  employees and agents (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 reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, 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, (iii) any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto,  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 the  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 the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

         (c) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain  operative and in
full  force  and  effect  regardless  of the  expiration  of the  term  of  this
Agreement,  the  consummation  of  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,  the
repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity
or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent,
the  Collateral  Agent or any Lender.  All amounts due under this Section  10.05
shall be payable on written demand therefor.

         SECTION  10.06.  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 the  Borrower  against  any of and all the
obligations  of the 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.  The rights of each
Lender  under this  Section  10.06 are in addition to other  rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

         SECTION  10.07.  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.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  10.08.  Waivers;  Amendment.  (a) No  failure  or delay of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender 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 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 the  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 the  Borrower in any case shall  entitle the Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

         (b) Neither  this  Agreement  nor any  provision  hereof may be waived,
amended or modified  except  pursuant to an agreement or  agreements  in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required 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 waive or  excuse  any such  payment  or any part
thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or
decrease  or extend  the date for  payment of the  Commitment  Fee of any Lender
without the prior written  consent of such Lender,  or (iii) amend or modify the
pro rata  sharing  provisions  of  Section  2.17 or the  provisions  of  Section
10.04(i),  the provisions of this Section,  the definition of the term "Required
Lenders"  or release  the  Borrower or any  Subsidiary  Guarantor  or all or any
substantial  part of the  Collateral,  without the prior written consent of each
Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative  Agent or the Collateral Agent
hereunder or under any other Loan Document  without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

         SECTION  10.09.  Interest  Rate  Limitation.  Notwithstanding  anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees,  charges and other amounts which are treated as interest
on such Loan 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 in accordance  with
applicable law, the rate of interest  payable in respect of such Loan 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 but were not  payable as a result of the
operation of this Section  10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans 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.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  10.10.  Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement,  the  other  Loan
Documents,  the Engagement Letter, the Syndication Letter and the Cedarapids Fee
Letter  constitute the entire contract among 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.  Except as provided in Section 10.17, 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  any  rights,   remedies,
obligations  or  liabilities  under or by reason of this  Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.

         SECTION 10.11.  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 10.11.

         SECTION  10.12.  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.

         SECTION  10.13.  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
10.03.  Delivery of an executed  signature  page to this  Agreement by facsimile
transmission  shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Agreement.

         SECTION 10.14. 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.



<PAGE>


         SECTION  10.15.  Jurisdiction;  Consent to Service of Process.  (a) The
Borrower hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  submits,  for itself and its
property,  to the  nonexclusive  jurisdiction  of any New  York  State  court or
Federal court of the United States of America  sitting in New York City, 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 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 or any Lender may otherwise have to
bring any action or  proceeding  relating  to this  Agreement  or the other Loan
Documents  against  the  Borrower  or  its  properties  in  the  courts  of  any
jurisdiction.

         (b) The 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  10.01.  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  10.16.   Confidentiality.   The   Administrative   Agent,  the
Collateral Agent 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 or any Lender shall be permitted
to  disclose  Information  (a) to such of its  respective  officers,  directors,
employees,   agents,  affiliates  and  representatives  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 the
Borrower or any of its  Subsidiaries and agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 10.16) or (f) to the extent such  Information (i) becomes  publicly
available  other  than as a result  of a breach  of this  Section  10.16 or (ii)
becomes  available to the  Administrative  Agent,  any Lender or the  Collateral
Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  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 or any Lender based on any of the  foregoing)  that are received  from the
Borrower and related to the  Borrower,  any  shareholder  of the Borrower or any
employee,  customer or supplier of the Borrower, other than any of the foregoing
that were available to the  Administrative  Agent,  the Collateral  Agent or any
Lender  on a  nonconfidential  basis  prior  to its  disclosure  thereto  by the
Borrower,  and which are in the case of Information provided after the Effective
Date, clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. The provisions
of this  Section  10.16  shall  remain  operative  and in full  force and effect
regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement.



<PAGE>


         SECTION 10.17. Rights of Existing Lenders.  Without the consent of each
Existing Lender,  the Borrower 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, any Existing Lender would no longer be entitled to the pro rata
sharing requirements of Section 2.22 or the mandatory  participation  provisions
of Section 2.18 and any such attempted  amendment,  modification or waiver shall
be null and  void.  Each  Existing  Lender  shall be  entitled  to  enforce  the
provisions of this Section 10.17.

         SECTION 10.18. Designated Senior Indebtedness. For the purposes of each
indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Additional Subordinated
Notes,  the Loans and all Fees and all other  expenses or amounts  payable under
this Agreement shall be "Designated Senior Indebtedness" as such term is defined
in such indentures.

Date of Termination, plus any discretionary payment that may be awarded, for the
year in which his termination due to Disability occurs.

     (d) Termination by Terex for Cause. In the event that DeFeo's employment is
terminated by Terex for Cause, he shall be entitled only to the compensation and
benefits specified in Section 9(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  termination
for Cause may not occur  pursuant to clauses (ii),  (iii),  (iv), (v) or (vi) of
Section 1(f) above unless and until, with the Board's prior approval,  Terex has
delivered  to DeFeo Notice of  Termination,  which shall  contain in  reasonable
detail the facts purporting to constitute such nonperformance,  act, omission or
breach,  and afforded him 30 days  thereafter to cure the same and/or to respond
in writing to the Board  setting  forth his position  that his  termination  for
Cause should not occur and  requesting  reconsideration  by the Board,  in which
event (x) the effective  date of  termination  of  employment  shall be deferred
until the Board has had the opportunity to consider whether such nonperformance,
act,  omission or breach has been cured and to consider any request by DeFeo for
reconsideration, and (y) the Board shall thereafter cause a written notice to be
delivered  on its  behalf to DeFeo  stating  either  that it has  rescinded  its
determination  that his employment is to be terminated for Cause or that affirms
its  determination  that his  employment is to be terminated  for Cause and that
contains an effective  date of  termination  of  employment,  which shall be not
earlier than 15 days after such notice is given. Section 1(n)(i) to the contrary
notwithstanding,  upon  delivery  to DeFeo of Notice of  Termination  under this
Section  9(d),  DeFeo shall be  suspended  from all duties and  responsibilities
unless and until the Board rescinds its determination  that his employment is to
be terminated for Cause.

     (e) Termination by Terex Without Cause or by DeFeo for Good Reason.

          (i) Terex shall  provide DeFeo 30 days' Notice of  Termination  of his
     employment  without  Cause,  and DeFeo  shall  provide  30 days'  Notice of
     Termination of his employment for Good Reason.

          (ii) In the  event  of  termination  by Terex  of  DeFeo's  employment
     without Cause or of termination by DeFeo of his employment for Good Reason,
     he  shall  be  entitled,  in  addition  to the  compensation  and  benefits
     specified in Section 9(a), to:

               (A) two times his Base Salary, at the rate in effect  immediately
          before such termination,

               (B) two times the  average of his annual  earned  bonuses for the
          two calendar  years in the Term  preceding  the year in which the Term
          ends,

               (C) continuing coverage under the life, disability,  accident and
          health insurance programs for Terex employees  generally and under any
          supplemental programs covering Terex executives,  as from time to time
          in effect,  for the  two-year  period from such  termination  or until
          DeFeo becomes  eligible for  substantially  similar coverage under the
          employee  welfare plans of a new employer,  whichever  occurs earlier,
          provided that DeFeo's right to elect continued  medical coverage after
          termination  of  employment  under  Part 6 of Title I of the  Employee
          Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974, as amended,  shall be deemed
          satisfied by the coverage provided in this clause (C), and

               (D) immediate  and  unconditional  vesting of the unvested  stock
          options  and stock  grants  previously  awarded to DeFeo and,  for the
          one-year  period  following  either  such  termination,  the  right to
          exercise any stock options held by him;  provided,  however,  that any
          unvested   "performance"  stock  options,   stock  grants,   long-term
          incentive  awards or other similar  awards shall not vest unless their
          specified  performance  objectives  are achieved  prior to the Date of
          Termination and otherwise as provided in the relevant plan documents.

          (iii) The payments  specified in Section  9(e)(ii)(A) and (B) shall be
     made by Terex to DeFeo as follows:

               (A) 50 percent of the amounts  due shall be paid  ratably in cash
          over the 12 months following the Date of Termination, and

               (B) the  remaining 50 percent of these amounts shall be paid in a
          cash lump sum at the beginning of the 13th month following the Date of
          Termination.

          (iv) DeFeo's right to terminate his  employment  for Good Reason shall
     not be  affected  by his  incapacity  due to  physical  or mental  illness.
     DeFeo's continued  employment shall not constitute  consent to, or a waiver
     of rights with respect to, any act or omission constituting Good Reason.

     (f) Voluntary  Termination by DeFeo. DeFeo shall have the right voluntarily
to terminate his  employment in accordance  with Section 1(k) above.  If he does
so, he shall be entitled  only to the  compensation  and  benefits  specified in
Section 9(a).

     (g)  Termination  by  Terex  Without  Cause or by  DeFeo  for  Good  Reason
Following a Change in Control. In the event of termination of DeFeo's employment
within one year following a Change in Control (i) by Terex without Cause or (ii)
by DeFeo for Good Reason, he shall be entitled,  in addition to the compensation
and benefits  specified  in Section  9(a),  to the amounts  specified in Section
9(e)(ii) (A) and (B), payable to him in a cash lump sum not later than five days
after the Date of Termination, and to the additional rights specified in Section
9(e)(ii)(C) and (D).

     (h) Terex's  Election Not to Extend the Agreement.  In the event that Terex
does not extend this Agreement or enter into a new  employment and  compensation
agreement,  commencing at the end of the Term, on terms at least as favorable as
those set forth in this Agreement,  DeFeo shall be entitled,  in addition to the
compensation and benefits specified in Section 9(a), to the amounts specified in
Section  9(e)(ii)(A) and (B),  payable to him as provided in Section  9(e)(iii),
and to the additional rights specified in Section 9(e)(ii)(C) and (D).

     (i) DeFeo's  Election Not to Extend the Agreement.  In the event that DeFeo
does not accept an offer by Terex to extend this  Agreement  or enter into a new
employment  and  compensation  agreement on terms at least as favorable as those
set  forth in this  Agreement  commencing  at the end of the  Term,  he shall be
deemed to have  terminated his employment  voluntarily as of the end of the Term
and shall be entitled only to the compensation and benefits specified in Section
9(a).

     (j) Determination of Amounts of Payments.  If Terex's independent  auditors
determine  that the amount due DeFeo under  Section  9(g) will exceed the amount
permissible under Code Section 280G without imposition of the excise tax imposed
by Code Section 4999,  the  independent  auditors  shall then  determine (i) the
after-tax amount and (ii) the maximum amount that may be paid under Code Section
280G without  imposition of any tax, and Terex shall then pay the greater amount
to DeFeo.

     (k) Cessation of Payments.  If,  during or after the Term,  DeFeo commits a
breach of Section 10 or Section 11 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 DeFeo's employment
that  is  not  effected  pursuant  to  Notice  of  Termination   satisfying  the
requirements of Sections 1(k) and 1(o) and Section 25 shall not be effective for
purposes of this Agreement.

     10. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

     (a) Acknowledgments. DeFeo acknowledges that:

          (i) As a result of his employment  with Terex,  DeFeo 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,  DeFeo  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 10 are  reasonable and necessary
     for the protection of the business of Terex and its Affiliates.

     (b)  Confidential  Information.  DeFeo 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 DeFeo's 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  DeFeo  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, DeFeo shall

          (i) take all reasonably  necessary  steps requested by Terex to defend
     against the enforcement of such court order,  subpoena or other  government
     process, and;

          (ii) 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,  DeFeo 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  DeFeo is found to be in
violation of Section 10(b) or (c), Terex shall be entitled to relief as provided
in Section 12 below.

     11. NONCOMPETITION/NONSOLICITATION.

     (a) Acknowledgments. DeFeo acknowledges that:

          (i) Terex and its Affiliates will suffer damage that will be difficult
     to  compute  if,  during  the  Term or  thereafter,  DeFeo  should  enter a
     competitive business.

          (ii) The  provisions of this Section 11 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 12 months  after the Term)  DeFeo,  without the prior  written
permission of Terex, 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 5
     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 DeFeo 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 DeFeo 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  3  percent   of  the
     publicly-traded equity securities of such competitor.

     (c)  Remedies  and  Sanctions.  In the event  that  DeFeo is found to be in
violation  of Section  11(b),  Terex  shall be entitled to relief as provided in
Section 12 below.

     12.  INJUNCTIVE  RELIEF.

     (a) If DeFeo commits a breach,  or threatens to commit a breach,  of any of
the provisions of Section 10 or 11 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 DeFeo 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
12(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 DeFeo shall  violate any covenant  contained in this Section 12, the
Covenant Period shall automatically  extend for 12 months from the date on which
DeFeo 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 this Section 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.

     13.  WITHHOLDING  TAXES. All payments to DeFeo 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 DeFeo or his  Beneficiary.  In the event  that all
payments due are insufficient to provide the required amount of such withholding
taxes,  DeFeo 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.

     14. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Nothing herein is intended to
limit Terex's  indemnification  of DeFeo,  and Terex shall  indemnify 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  business  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 is obtainable on
commercially  economic terms, Terex shall cause DeFeo 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
directors' and officers' liability 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 DeFeo 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.

     15. 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 breach  of this
Agreement and shall entitle DeFeo to compensation  from Terex in the same amount
and on the same terms as DeFeo  would be  entitled  to  hereunder  if he were to
terminate his employment for Good Reason after a Change in Control, except that,
for  purposes  of  implementing  the  foregoing,  the  date on  which  any  such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

     (b) This  Agreement  shall  inure to the benefit of and be  enforceable  by
DeFeo's   personal   or  legal   representatives,   executors,   administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If DeFeo 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 DeFeo's estate.

     16. REPRESENTATIONS.

     The  Parties  respectively   represent  and  warrant  that  each  is  fully
authorized and empowered to enter into this  Agreement and that the  performance
of its or his  obligations,  as the case may be, under this  Agreement  will not
violate  any  agreement  between  such  Party  and  any  other  person,  firm or
organization.  Terex  represents  and warrants that this Agreement has been duly
authorized  by  all  necessary  corporate  action  and  is  valid,  binding  and
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

     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 DeFeo's
rights. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, to the extent that the provisions
of any  benefit  plan,  grant or  award  are more  favorable  to DeFeo  than the
provisions of this  Agreement,  the  provisions  of such benefit plan,  grant or
award shall govern the determination of DeFeo's rights.

     18.  AMENDMENT OR WAIVER.

     No  provision in this  Agreement  may be amended  unless such  amendment is
agreed to in  writing  and  signed by both  DeFeo 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.  Any waiver must be in writing and
signed by the Party to be charged with the waiver.

     19.  SEVERABILITY.

     In the event  that any  provision  or portion  of this  Agreement  shall be
determined to be valid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the
remaining  provisions of this  Agreement  shall be unaffected  thereby and shall
remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     20. SURVIVAL.

     The respective  rights and  obligations of the Parties under this Agreement
shall survive any termination of DeFeo's employment with Terex.

     21. BENEFICIARIES/REFERENCES.

     DeFeo  shall be entitled to select  (and  change,  to the extent  permitted
under  any  applicable  law) a  beneficiary  or  beneficiaries  to  receive  any
compensation or benefit payable under this Agreement  following DeFeo's death by
giving  Terex  written  notice  thereof.  In the event of DeFeo's  death or of a
judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to DeFeo
shall be deemed to refer, as appropriate,  to his  beneficiary,  estate or other
legal representative.

     22. MITIGATION.

     Terex agrees that,  if DeFeo's  employment by Terex  terminates  during the
Term, DeFeo is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to
reduce any amounts payable to him due under this Agreement.  Further, the amount
of any payment shall not be reduced by any  compensation  earned by DeFeo as the
result of employment by another  employer,  by  retirement  benefits,  by offset
against any amount claimed to be owed by DeFeo to Terex, or otherwise.

     23.  GOVERNING LAW.

     This  Agreement  shall be  governed by and  construed  and  interpreted  in
accordance  with the laws of the  State of  Connecticut,  without  reference  to
principles of conflict of laws.

     24. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

     (a) Arbitration.  Except as provided in Section 24(b), any disputes arising
under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration,  to
be held in Stamford,  Connecticut,  in accordance with the commercial  rules and
procedures of the American Arbitration Association.

     (b) Litigation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  DeFeo shall have the right
to waive his rights under Section 24(a) and have any dispute resolved by a court
of competent jurisdiction.

     (c) Costs.  Except as provided in Section 10(b),  each Party shall bear its
or his respective  costs,  fees (including  attorneys' fees) and expenses of any
arbitration or litigation in connection with this Agreement.

     (d)  Continuation  of Payments.  Pending the outcome or  resolution  of any
dispute  between the Parties,  Terex shall continue to pay to DeFeo all amounts,
and provide on his behalf all benefits, due him under this Agreement.

     25. NOTICES.

     Any notice given to either Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given when delivered either personally,  by fax, by overnight delivery
service  (such as Federal  Express) or sent by  certified  or  registered  mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, duly addressed to the Party concerned
