Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Establishment and History.

The Company first established the Plan for eligible executives on June 1, 1995. The Plan was originally intended to replace the severance benefits that participants had under certain individual agreements (customarily denominated a “Deferred Compensation Benefit Agreement”) with the Company that provided for unfunded deferred compensation benefits and certain other benefits. Since the Plan was first adopted on June 1, 1995, it has been amended and restated several times.

1.2. Effective Date.

(a) This restatement of the Plan is effective October 15, 2006; provided, however, that any provision in this restatement intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code is effective January 1, 2005. Any individual who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on or after October 15, 2006, will participate in the Plan subject to the terms set forth in this restatement and the individual’s Participation Agreement.

(b) Any individual who participated in the Plan before October 15, 2006, will participate in the Plan subject to the terms set forth in this restatement and the individual’s Participation Agreement (and not subject to the terms of any earlier restatement or participation agreement) if the individual executes a new Participation Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2.

(c) Any individual who participated in the Plan before October 15, 2006, and who fails to execute a new Participation Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2 will continue to participate in the Plan subject to the terms set forth in the applicable earlier restatement of the Plan and his Participation Agreement (and not subject to the terms of this restatement other than the terms of this restatement that bring the earlier restatement of the Plan into compliance with Section 409A of the Code).

1.3. Purpose.

The Plan is an unfunded welfare plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing severance pay benefits to a select group of management and highly compensated employees. The Plan is intended to avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 4. SEVERANCE BENEFITS

4.1. Basic Benefit.

(a) Amount. Subject to the timely execution of a release as provided in Section 6, a Participant who is Dismissed is entitled to a Severance Benefit, determined as follows—

(1) Before a Change in Control. If a Participant is Dismissed before a Change in Control occurs, the Participant’s Severance Benefit will equal—

(A) the Participant’s Applicable Percentage, times

(B) the Participant’s Covered Compensation.

(2) On or Following a Change in Control. Subject to Section 4.2(b), if the Participant is Dismissed six months before or two years after a Change in Control, the Participant’s Severance Benefit will equal—

(A) the Participant’s Applicable CIC Percentage, times

(B) the Participant’s Covered Compensation.

(b) Time and Form of Payment. Except as provided in Section 4.9, the Severance Benefit will be paid in the form of a lump sum on the 60th day following the date the Participant is Dismissed, provided that the requirements of Section 6 are satisfied.

(c) Death Benefit. If the Participant dies after being Dismissed but before receiving his Severance Benefit, his Severance Benefit will be paid to his Beneficiary.

4.2. Gross-Up Payment.

(a) Eligibility. Except as provided in Section 4.2(b) and subject to the timely execution of a release as provided in Section 6, a Participant is eligible to receive a Gross-Up Payment if the Participant—

(1) is Dismissed in connection with a Change in Control; and

(2) receives payments or benefits contingent on the Change in Control from any Company-sponsored plan, program or arrangement (“Company Payments”) that are “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(1) of the Code and are subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.2(a), a Participant will not receive a Gross-Up Payment if the Participant’s excess parachute payment is less than or equal to 310% of his “base amount” (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(3) of the Code). In such an event, the Participant’s Company Payments will be reduced by the smallest amount necessary to ensure that the Company Payments do not exceed three times the Participant’s base amount.

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 9
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

(c) Amount.

(1) Generally. The amount of the Gross-Up Payment will equal an amount such that, after payment by the Participant of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Company Payments. The nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”) used by the Company prior to the Change in Control (or, if such Accounting Firm declines to serve, a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants selected by the Company) will determine whether the Company Payments will result in an excess parachute payment that is subject to the Excise Tax. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Company Payments will not be subject to the Excise Tax, it will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish the Participant with an opinion that he has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his/her federal, state, local income or other tax return. If it is later determined pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(4) that the Company Payments are subject to the Excise Tax, the Gross-Up Payment will include any penalties and interest that are imposed or become due as a result of the Accounting Firm’s initial determination that the Company’s Payments were not subject to the Excise Tax.

(2) Tax Rates. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant will be deemed to pay (A) federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and (B) state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation applicable to individuals as are in effect in the state and locality of the Participant’s residence in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account any limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates.

(3) Adjustments to Gross-Up Payments. If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding or written opinion of counsel that the Excise Tax is less than the amount previously taken into account hereunder, the Participant will repay the Company, within 30 days of his receipt of notice of such final determination or opinion, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Participant if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax) plus any interest received by the Participant on the amount of such repayment, provided that if any such amount has been paid by the Participant as an Excise Tax or other tax, he will cooperate with the Company in seeking a refund of any tax overpayments, and he will not be required to make repayments to the Company until the overpaid taxes and interest thereon are refunded to him.

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 10
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

(4) Additional Gross-Up Payment. If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding or the written opinion of counsel that the Excise Tax exceeds the amount taken into account hereunder (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company will make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (including any tax penalties imposed or interest due because of the underpayment) 30 days after the Company’s receipt of notice of such final determination or opinion; provided that the Participant notifies the Company of the potential underpayment within 30 days of the Participant’s initial receipt from the Internal Revenue Service of a dispute or inquiry regarding the amount of the Excise Tax.

(d) Time and Form of Payment.

(1) Generally.

(A) Except as provided in Section 4.9, if the Company determines that an Excise Tax will be imposed upon a Participant, the Gross-Up Payment will be paid in a lump sum on the fifth day before the due date of the Excise Tax.

(B) Except as provided in Section 4.9, if the Accounting Firm initially determines that an Excise Tax will not be imposed upon the Company Payments and an Excise Tax is subsequently imposed on the Company Payments pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(4), the Gross-Up Payment will be paid in a lump sum on the 60th day after the Participant’s initial receipt of notice of such final determination or opinion; provided that no Gross-Up Payment will be paid under this Section 4.2(d)(1)(B) if the Participant does not notify the Company of the potential underpayment within 30 days of the Participant’s initial receipt from the Internal Revenue Service of a dispute or inquiry regarding the amount of the Excise Tax.

(2) Death Benefit. If the Participant dies after being Dismissed but before receiving any Gross-Up Payment that might be due under this Section 4.2, the Gross-Up Payment will be paid in a lump sum to his Beneficiary at the time set forth in Section 4.2(d)(1), above.

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 11
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

4.3. Medical and Life Insurance Benefits.

If the Participant is Dismissed and timely executes a release as provided in Section 6, the Company will provide the Participant with medical and life insurance benefits as follows—

(a) Medical Benefits.

(1) Amount. The amount of the medical benefits is equal to the amount of medical benefits (if any) that the Company would have provided to the Participant had the Participant continued employment with the Company in the same position held by the Participant at the time of his termination from employment. The Company reserves the right to modify, amend, or terminate at any time, the medical benefits that would have been provided to the Participant if he had continued employment with the Company.

(2) Time of Payment. A Participant will continue to receive his medical benefits under the Company’s medical insurance plan for a period beginning on the date medical benefits otherwise would cease as a result of the Participant’s having been Dismissed and continuing for the number of months that bears the same proportion to twelve months as the Participant’s Applicable Percentage under Section 2.1(c) of the Plan bears to 100%.

(b) Life Insurance Benefits.

(1) Amount. The life insurance benefits provided will be the benefits (if any) that the Company would have provided to the Participant had the Participant continued employment with the Company in the same position held by the Participant at the time of his termination from employment.

(2) Time of Payment. Except as provided in Section 4.9, life insurance benefits will be continued under this Section 4.3(b) for a period beginning on the date life insurance benefits otherwise would cease as a result of the Participant’s having been Dismissed and continuing for the number of months that bears the same proportion to twelve months as the Participant’s Applicable Percentage under Section 2.1(c) of the Plan bears to 100%.

4.4. SERP Benefit

If the Participant is Dismissed during the six month period immediately preceding or the two year period immediately following a Change in Control, is at least age 50 as of the date of the Change in Control, and timely executes a release as provided in Section 6, his benefit under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) will be determined and paid as follows—

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 12
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

(a) Amount of Benefit.

(1) Decreased Early Retirement Reduction. The amount of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit (as defined under the SERP) will be determined in accordance with the terms of the SERP except Sections 3.4(a) and A.5(e) of the SERP will not apply to the Participant. Instead, if the Participant begins receiving his benefit under the SERP before age 60, his Accrued Benefit will be reduced by one half of one percent for each month during which benefits are scheduled to be paid before the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant reaches age 55.

(2) Five Years of Service Credit. If the Participant became a participant in the SERP after September 5, 2000, the Participant will receive an additional five Years of Service for purposes of determining the Participant’s applicable percentage under Section 3.2 of the SERP.

(b) Time and Form of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the SERP, if the Participant is Dismissed in connection with a Change in Control that occurs in 2006 or 2007, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit under the SERP will be paid at the times and in the forms specified below based on the age of the Participant on the date he is Dismissed:

(1) If the Participant is less than age 55 as of December 31, 2006, his Vested Retirement Benefit (as defined under the SERP) will not be subject to Section 409A of the Code, and he will receive his Vested Retirement Benefit in the form of a lump sum on the later to occur of the following dates: (1) January 1, 2007, or (2) the 30th day after the Participant is Dismissed.

(2) If the Participant is at least age 55 but less than age 60 as of December 31, 2006, his Early Retirement Benefit (as defined under the SERP) will be divided into two portions, and he will be deemed to have elected to receive each portion in the form of a lump sum on the following dates:

(A) The portion of the Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit that is “grandfathered” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code is not subject to Section 409A of the Code and will be paid as soon as practicable but no later than 30 days after the Participant is Dismissed.

(B) The portion of the Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit that is not grandfathered within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, will be paid six months after the Participant is Dismissed.

(3) If the Participant is at least age 60 as of December 31, 2006, his Normal Retirement Benefit or Late Retirement Benefit (whichever is applicable) will be divided into two portions, and he will be deemed to have elected to receive each portion on the dates and in the form as follows—

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 13
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

(A) The portion of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit or Late Retirement Benefit that is “grandfathered” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, is not subject to Section 409A of the Code and will be paid in the form of a lump sum on the 30th day after the Participant is Dismissed.

(B) The portion of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit or Late Retirement Benefit that is not grandfathered within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, will be paid six months after the date that the Participant is Dismissed in the form of a lump sum to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, and if a lump sum payment is not permissible, in the form of a Ten-Year Certain Life Annuity.

4.5. SERP Rabbi Trust

Notwithstanding Section 3.2 of the JLG Industries, Inc. Executive Trust (the “Executive Trust”), immediately preceding a Change in Control, the Company will contribute to the Executive Trust amounts in cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee (as defined under the Executive Trust Agreement) sufficient to fund 100% of all benefits that have accrued under the SERP as of the Change in Control, assuming that all Participants will be Dismissed under circumstances that entitle them to receive the maximum benefits provided under Section 4.4, above.

4.6. Cash Bonus Award

If the Participant is Dismissed, the Participant will receive a pro rated portion of the bonus he would have been entitled to receive under the Annual Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) for the fiscal year in which he is Dismissed equal to the greater of (a) or (b), as defined below, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the performance year completed by the Participant as of the date he is Dismissed and the denominator of which is 365. For this purpose, (a) and (b) will equal:

(a) the amount the Participant would have received under the MIP for the fiscal year in which he is Dismissed had:

(1) all target objectives been achieved for the entire fiscal year,

(2) the Executive otherwise satisfied all conditions for payment, and

The Company will also make a gross-up payment to the Participant in the amount of any (a) excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code on the payment or reimbursement for reasonable legal fees, and (b) income tax or other penalties imposed on the gross-up payment itself.

(b) For purposes of this Section 4.8, if the Participant continues to be employed by the Company or a successor business immediately following any of the transactions listed below, the Participant’s employment with the Company is not considered terminated solely because of the occurrence of the transaction—

(B) the assignment to the Participant of material duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with his status or position with the Company;

(C) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary;

(D) a change in the terms of the compensation arrangements applicable to the Participant that represents a significant reduction in the value of such compensation arrangements;

(4) Non-Triggering Event. A Participant’s employment with the Company will not have terminated for Good Reason if the only changes to the Participant’s duties, responsibilities, or titles arise as a consequence of the Company ceasing to be a company with publicly-traded securities or becoming a subsidiary, division, unit, or other affiliate of a publicly- or privately- owned entity.

(a) In General. This Section 4.9 (1) applies only to the extent Section 409A of the Code applies to any benefit payable under the Plan, (2) supersedes any provision of the Plan or a Participation Agreement to the extent that such provision conflicts with this Section 4.9, (3) is intended to comply with and avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Code, and (4) will be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with this intent.

For purposes of this Section 4.9, a payment that is required to be made on a certain date may be made as soon as practicable following such date, provided that the payment must be made during the same calendar year as the required payment date or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the required payment date, or otherwise in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

However, this Section 5.2(a) will not prohibit a Participant from (1) being employed by, or providing services to, a consulting firm, provided that he does not personally engage in Competitive Activities or provide consulting or advisory services to any individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or institution engaged in Competitive Activities, or any company or person affiliated with such person or entity engaged in Competitive Activities, or (2) engaging in the private practice of law as a sole practitioner or as a partner in (or as an employee of or counsel to) a law firm in accordance with applicable legal and professional standards.

In addition, the Participant will acknowledge that the Company is the rightful owner of any programs, ideas, inventions, discoveries, patented or copyrighted material, or trademarks that the Participant may have originated or developed, or assisted in originating or developing, during his period of employment with the Company, where any such origination or development involved the use of Company time or resources, or the exercise of his responsibilities for or on behalf of the Company. The Participant will at all times, both before and after his termination, cooperate with the Company in executing and delivering documents requested by the Company, and taking any other actions, that are necessary or requested by the Company to assist the Company in patenting, copyrighting, or registering any programs, ideas, inventions, discoveries, patented or copyrighted material, or trademarks, and to vest title thereto in the Company.

SECTION 6. RELEASE

6.1. Generally.

A Participant will not be entitled to any benefits under this Plan unless, at the time the Participant is Dismissed, he executes and does not subsequently revoke a release satisfactory to the Company releasing the Company, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents and their successors and assigns from any and all employment-related claims the Participant or his successors and beneficiaries might then have against them (excluding any claims the Participant might then have under this Plan or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company). The release will be substantially in the form that is attached as Exhibit A to the Plan.

6.2. Time Limit for Providing Release.

A Participant will execute and submit the release to the Company within 30 days after the Participant is Dismissed. However, if the Participant is Dismissed in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program offered to a group or class of employees, the Participant will have 50 days after the Participant terminates employment to execute and submit the release to the Company.

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 21
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

SECTION 7. NATURE OF PARTICIPANT’S INTEREST IN THE PLAN

7.1. No Right to Assets.

Participation in the Plan does not create, in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary, any right or lien in or against any asset of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken under its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and a Participant or any other person. The Company’s promise to pay benefits under the Plan will at all times remain unfunded as to each Participant and Beneficiary, whose rights under the Plan are limited to those of a general and unsecured creditor of the Company.

7.2. No Right to Transfer Interest.

Rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance. However, the Administrative Committee may permit a Participant or Beneficiary to enter into a revocable arrangement to pay all or part of his benefits under the Plan to a revocable grantor trust (a so-called “living trust”). In addition, the Administrative Committee may recognize the right of an alternate payee named in a domestic relations order to receive all or part of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan, but only if (a) the domestic relations order would be a “qualified domestic relations order” within the meaning of section 414(p) of the Code (if section 414 (p) applied to the Plan), (b) the domestic relations order does not attempt to give the alternate payee any right to any asset of the Company, (c) the domestic relations order does not attempt to give the alternate payee any right to receive payments under the Plan at a time or in an amount that the Participant could not receive under the Plan, and (d) the amount of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan are reduced to reflect any payments made or due the alternate payee.

7.3. No Employment Rights.

No provisions of the Plan and no action taken by the Company, the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee, or the Administrative Committee will give any person any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, and the Company specifically reserves the right and power to dismiss or discharge any Participant.

7.4. Withholding and Tax Liabilities.

The amount of any withholdings required to be made by any government or government agency will be deducted from benefits paid under the Plan to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrative Committee. In addition, the Participant or Beneficiary (as the case may be) will bear the cost of any taxes not withheld on benefits provided under the Plan, regardless of whether withholding is required.

SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATION, INTERPRETATION, AND MODIFICATION OF PLAN

8.1. Plan Administrator.

The Administrative Committee will administer the Plan.

8.2. Powers of the Administrator.

The Administrative Committee’s powers include, but are not limited to, the power to adopt rules consistent with the Plan; the power to decide all questions relating to the interpretation of the terms and provisions of the Plan; and the power to resolve all other questions arising under the Plan (including, without limitation, the power to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions by a general rule or particular decision). The Administrative Committee has full discretionary authority to exercise each of the foregoing powers.

8.3. Finality of Committee Determinations.

Determinations by the Administrative Committee and any interpretation, rule, or decision adopted by the Administrative Committee under the Plan or in carrying out or administering the Plan will be final and binding for all purposes and upon all interested persons, their heirs, and their personal representatives.

8.4. Incapacity.

If the Administrative Committee determines that any person entitled to benefits under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative has been appointed) may be paid for the benefit of such person to his spouse, parent, brother, sister, or other party deemed by the Administrative Committee to have incurred expenses for such person.

8.5. Amendment, Suspension, and Termination.

The Board of Directors has the right by written resolution to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. However, no amendment, suspension, or termination that reduces the benefits to which a Participant is entitled under the Plan will apply to an employee who already is a Participant in the Plan without his express written consent.

8.6. Power to Delegate Authority.

The Board of Directors and the Administrative Committee may, in their sole discretion, delegate to any person or persons all or part of its authority and responsibility under the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to amend the Plan.

8.7. Headings.

The headings used in this document are for convenience of reference only and may not be given any weight in interpreting any provision of the Plan.

JLG Industries, Inc.	Page 23
Executive Severance Plan	October 15, 2006

8.8. Severability.

If any provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity of that provision will not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included in the Plan.

8.9. Governing Law.

The Plan will be construed, administered, and regulated in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that those laws are preempted by federal law.

8.10. Complete Statement of Plan.

This Plan contains a complete statement of its terms. The Plan may be amended, suspended, or terminated only in writing and then only as provided in Section 8.5 or 8.6. A Participant’s right to any benefit of a type provided under the Plan will be determined solely in accordance with the terms of the Plan. No other evidence, whether written or oral, will be taken into account in interpreting the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 8.10, for purposes of determining benefits with respect to a Participant, this Plan will be deemed to include (a) the provisions of any Participation Agreement executed in accordance with Section 3.2, and (b) the provisions of any other written agreement between the Company and the Participant to the extent such other agreement explicitly provides for the incorporation of some or all of its terms into this Plan.

5. I warrant and represent that my decision to accept the Plan (including this Release) was (a) entirely voluntary on my part; (b) not made in reliance on any inducement, promise or representation, whether express or implied, other than the inducements, representations and promises expressly set forth in the Plan or in the Release; and (c) did not result from any threats or other coercive activities to induce acceptance of the Plan or Release.

In the event I decide to exercise my right to revoke within seven (7) days of my acceptance of this Release, I warrant and represent that I will do the following: (1) notify the Company in writing of my intent to revoke my agreement, and (2) simultaneously return in full the consideration received from the Company under the Plan.
