Preamble
1. TEREX. TEREX is a corporation established under the laws of the state of
Delaware, USA, based in Westport, Connecticut, USA. TEREX is a diversified
global manufacturer and is involved in a broad range of construction,
infrastructure, recycling and mining-related capital equipment activities
under various brand names. TEREX's authorized capital stock consists of
200,000,000 shares of capital stock, USD 0.01 par value, consisting of
150,000,000 shares of common stock (hereinafter the "TEREX Common Stock")
and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock (hereinafter the "TEREX Preferred
Stock"). As of November 9, 2001, 31,600,000 shares of TEREX Common Stock
were issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis and no shares of TEREX
Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. The TEREX Common Stock is
listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (hereinafter"NYSE") under
the symbol "TEX". Holders of TEREX Common Stock have equal ratable rights
to any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of
legally available funds. The transfer agent and registrar for TEREX Common
Stock is American Stock Transfer Trust Company.
2. Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares. The Buyers are, except as
otherwise stated in the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares (as
defined below), the sole shareholders of the Parent Companies (as defined
in the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares) of the Schaeff Group
of Companies (as defined in the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of
Shares). By means of separate and notarized share purchase agreement of the
same date, the Buyers have sold the entire Schaeff Group of Companies to
PPM GmbH and the Buyer who accepted such sale (deed roll no. 189/2001 of
the notary Dr. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, with his offices in Basle, Switzerland)
(hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of
Shares"). The Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares was as original
deed on hand during the notarization of this Stock Purchase Agreement. The
Parties are familiar with the content and the provisions of the Agreement
on the Sale and Purchase of Shares. The Agreement on the Sale and Purchase
of Shares shall be included into this Stock Purchase Agreement expressly by
means of reference (§13a German Notarial Act - Beurkundungsgesetz).
The Parties do not require that
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -5-
________________________________________________________________________________
the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares be read aloud or be
attached to this Stock Purchase Agreement.
3. Investment. The Buyers have agreed to invest a portion of the consideration
to be paid by PPM GmbH for the shares in the Parent Companies of the
Schaeff Group of Companies (as defined in the Agreement on the Sale and
Purchase of Shares) under the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares
by acquiring a certain number of newly issued and freely tradable shares in
TEREX Common Stock from Seller. Seller intends to transfer such number of
newly issued and freely tradable shares in TEREX Common Stock to the
Buyers.
Now, therefore, the Parties agree as follows (hereinafter the "Agreement"):
§ 1
Subject of the Agreement
The subject of this Agreement is the number of shares in newly issued,
freely tradable and freely transferable TEREX Common Stock described in
Section2.1 below.
§ 2
Sale
2.1 Sale of TEREX Common Stock. The Seller hereby sells to the Buyers such
amount of newly issued, freely tradable and freely transferable shares in
TEREX Common Stock the value of which equals EUR26,075,000.00 (in words:
Euro twenty six million seventy five thousand). The TEREX Common Stock Sale
Shares (as defined below) shall be of the same class and shall have the
same terms as the currently outstanding shares of TEREX Common Stock. The
TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares (as
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -6-
________________________________________________________________________________
defined below) shall be entitled to and be sold with all rights thereto.
The Buyers hereby accept the sale of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares (as
defined below). The exact number of shares to be sold shall be determined
three Business Days (as defined below) before the Closing (as defined
below) by dividing the amount of EUR26,075,000.00 (in words: Euro twenty
six million seventy five thousand) by the Average TEREX Common Stock Price
(as defined below) in Euro and rounding up to the nearest whole number of
shares of TEREX Common Stock (hereinafter the "TEREX Common Stock Sale
Shares"). In order to make such division, the average price of the TEREX
Common Stock in Euro will be determined in two consecutive steps as
follows:
(a) The average price of one share of TEREX Common Stock in United States
dollars will be determined by calculating the average of the daily
closing sale prices of TEREX Common Stock on the consolidated report
of trading of the NYSE issued for the twenty (20) consecutive trading
days ending on the day which is five (5) Business Days (as defined
below) immediately before the Closing Date (as defined below)
(hereinafter the "Average TEREX Common Stock Price").
(b) The Average TEREX Common Stock Price in United States dollars shall
then be converted into Euro on the basis of the average official Euro
Foreign Exchange Reference Rates between central banks within and
outside the European System of Central Banks issued and published on a
daily basis by the European Central Bank for the twenty (20)
consecutive trading days ending on the day which is five (5) Business
Days (as defined below) immediately before the Closing Date (as
defined below).
"Business Day" in terms of this Agreement shall mean any day that is not a
Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks located in New York City are
authorized or required to be closed. Neither TEREX nor any party acting at
its direction or to facilitate any transaction on TEREX behalf will in a
manner which increases or would cause an increase in the TEREX Common Stock
Price (i) acquire any TEREX Common Stock, either directly or indirectly,
nor (ii) enter into any obligation to acquire any TEREX Common Stock, nor
(iii) make any corresponding public announcement that it intends to do so,
during a period of twenty five (25) trading days ending on the day which is
(5) Business Days immediately before the Closing Date (as defined below).
Neither Buyers nor any party acting at their direction or to facilitate any
transaction on Buyers behalf will in a manner which decreases or would
cause a decrease in the
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -7-
________________________________________________________________________________
TEREX Common Stock Price (i) sell any TEREX Common Stock, either directly
or indirectly, nor (ii) enter into any obligation to sell any TEREX Common
Stock, nor (iii) make any corresponding public announcement that it intends
to do so, during a period of twenty five (25) trading days ending on the
day which is (5) Business Days immediately before the Closing Date.
2.2 Effective Date, Rights to Profits. The Sale shall take place with economic
effect (schuldrechtliche Wirkung) as of the Closing Date (as defined below)
(hereinafter also referred to as the "Effective Date"). The TEREX Common
Stock Sale Shares shall be sold together with any and all rights thereto,
in particular the right to dividends for the entire current and the
previous financial years of TEREX.
2.3 Allocation of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares. The allocation of the TEREX
Common Stock Sale Shares to each individual Buyer may be designated by the
Buyers between the date hereof and the Closing Date. The Buyers will
provide the Seller with a document substantially similar to Annex2.3 of
this Agreement, in which the allocation of the TEREX Common Stock Sale
Shares to each individual Buyer shall be set forth (hereinafter "the
Allocation Scheme") at least ten Business Days before the Closing Date (as
defined below). The certificates evidencing such shares of TEREX Common
Stock Sale Shares shall be issued to each Buyer (i) according to the
percentage of such Buyer in the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares as indicated
next to such Buyer's name in the Allocation Scheme and (ii) in the name of
such Buyer. The Buyers shall be deemed joint creditors (Gesamtgläubiger) in
terms of §428German Civil Code (BGB).
2.4 Adjustment of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares. If, for whatever reason
during the time period in which the Average TEREX Common Stock Price will
be calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 above, TEREX (i)splits or combines
the shares of its common stock outstanding; (ii)merges or consolidates with
any corporation in a transaction in which the other corporation is the
surviving entity; (iii)reorganizes, recapitalizes or reclassifies any of
the shares of its common stock; or (iv)effects any transaction having a
similar effect, the Parties are obligated to co-operate in order to replace
the calculation method set forth in Section 2.1 above by another
calculation method, which corresponds to
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -8-
________________________________________________________________________________
the sense and purpose of the calculation method initially set forth in
Section 2.1 above.
§ 3

Sale and Purchase of Shares) shall be replaced by the TEREX Escrow Stock

Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -16-
________________________________________________________________________________
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations in the
Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, or
any prospectus included therein:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Supplement (as amended or supplemented, if
Seller files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC) or

Subject to the next paragraph of this Section 6.3, Seller shall
reimburse the Buyers, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Claim.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.3 shall not

furnished in writing to Seller by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the
Registration
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -17-
________________________________________________________________________________
Statement or any such amendment or supplement thereto, if such
prospectus was timely made available by Seller pursuant to this
Section 6.3;
(ii) be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of a
Buyer to deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus made
available by Seller; or
(iii) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such
settlement is effected without the prior written consent of
Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Each Buyer will indemnify Seller and its officers, directors and

expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement,
subject to such limitations and conditions as are applicable to the

Registered Sale.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
under this Section 6.3 of notice of the commencement of any action
(including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.3, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and
the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to
the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party
and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may
be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel, reasonably acceptable
to Seller with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying

________________________________________________________________________________
party, if, in the reasonable opinion of reputable U.S. securities
counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such
counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party and any other person represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. In such event, the indemnifying party shall pay for only
one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person; such legal counsel to be selected by the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party, (i) subject to the consent of the indemnifying
party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
and (ii) if the Indemnified Parties or Indemnified Persons are Buyers,
by the Buyers holding a majority in interests of the TEREX Common
Stock Sale Shares included in the Registration Statement to which the
Claim relates. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentences, in case any such action is brought against any Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, after notice from the indemnifying party to
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party of the indemnifying
person's election so to assume (alone or with other indemnifying
persons) the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
Section 6.3 for any legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not defend such
action to its final conclusion. The Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall not be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has
assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6.3, except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.3
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -19-
________________________________________________________________________________
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage
or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(e) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make
the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it
would otherwise be liable under this Section 6.3 to the fullest extent
permitted by law; provided, however, that (i) no contribution shall be
made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable
for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6.3
hereof; (ii) no seller of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller
of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of
TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares shall be limited in amount to the net
amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such TEREX
Common Stock Sale Shares.
§ 7
Lock Up
7.1 Lock Up Period. As a general rule and except as set forth in Section 7.2 or
elsewhere in this Agreement or the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of
Shares, each of the Buyers pledges vis-à-vis the Seller, severally
and with respect to his share in the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares as
defined in Section 2.3 of this Agreement, irrevocably and subject to the
provisions of applicable mandatory law, that within a period of 36 months
from the Closing Date (hereinafter referred to as the "Lock Up Period"),
he/she will not offer or sell or otherwise dispose of his/her TEREX Common
Stock Sale Shares in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, either on a
stock exchange or in a transaction outside of any stock exchange, or
announce such action, or take any other action that is economically
equivalent to a sale (hereinafter referred to as the "Lock Up"). It is the
Parties' common understanding that the Lock Up shall
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -20-
________________________________________________________________________________
not restrict the Buyers from (i) entering into any hedging mechanism,
including, but not limited to, derivative transactions inter alia forwards,
collars and options transactions (which for the sake of certainty include
call options, put options or any combination or set of such options, being
either physically or cash settled) with a major bank (e.g. ABN Amro Bank),
(ii) pledging or (iii) lending the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares, either
in whole or in part, to a third party or any measure related thereto. For
the avoidance of doubt it is hereby set forth that the restrictions on the
TEREX Escrow Stock (as defined in the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of
Shares) set forth in Section 5 of the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of
Shares shall prevail over the exemption in the preceding sentence from the
Lock Up, unless otherwise is expressly set forth (i) in the Agreement on
the Sale and Purchase of Shares or (ii) agreed upon between the Parties in
writing.
7.2 Exceptions to the Lock Up. The Lock Up shall not apply and each of the
Buyers shall be entitled to freely offer or sell or otherwise dispose of
the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, either on a stock exchange or in a transaction outside of any
stock exchange, or announce such action, or take any other action that is
economically equivalent to a sale (hereinafter referred to as a
"Transaction")
(a) if and when the aggregate consideration for the TEREX Common Stock
Sale Shares disposed of in such Transaction would yield, if reflected
to all of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares, a market value of the
TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares exceeding in the aggregate
EUR33,376,000.00 (in words: Eurothirty three million three hundred and
seventy six thousand) (hereinafter referred to as the "TEREX Common
Stock Target Value"). The TEREX Common Stock Target Value will be
reduced pro rata for any Transaction by the Buyers during the Lock Up
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in
section 5.7(c) of the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares
shall apply and PPMGmbH shall only be obliged to release such number
of shares of TEREX Escrow Stock from the Escrow Securities Deposit, if
and when a corresponding amount in cash, calculated in accordance with
section 5.7(c) of the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of Shares is
paid by the Buyers into a newly established escrow
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -21-
________________________________________________________________________________
account or to the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Agreement on the
Sale and Purchase of Shares); or
(b) if and when, after the expiry of the first twelve month of the Lock Up
Period in which Transactions may only be executed in accordance with
sub-section (a) above and sub-section (c) below, the aggregate number
of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares disposed of in one or several
Transactions in each six month period after the expiry of the first
twelve month of the Lock Up Period does not exceed 25% of the
aggregate number of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares. This exemption
shall apply irrespective of whether the aggregate consideration for
the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares disposed of in such Transactions
would yield, if reflected to all of the TEREX Common Stock Sale
Shares, the TEREX Common Stock Target Value; or
(c) if and when TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares are transferred from one
Buyer to another or from one Buyer to one of his/her dependants
(Angehörige) in terms of §00 Xxxxxx Tax Code
(Abgabenordnung) and vice versa. However, in the later case, the
transferring Buyer has to ensure that the provisions of this section
7.2 shall apply analogously vis-à-vis the dependent who
acquired TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares. The Buyers involved in any
such transaction shall notify the Seller in writing without delay
about such transaction, when it took place, and the number of shares
of TEREX Common Stock transferred and the price per share of TEREX
Common Stock received as consideration in such transaction.
7.3 Contractual Penalty. In the event of a breach of the Lock Up as set forth
in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 above by one or several of the Buyers, the
Buyer or the Buyers (as the case may be) committing such breach shall pay a
contractual penalty to the Seller in the amount of 25% (in words: twenty
five percent) of the aggregate consideration for the TEREX Common Stock
Sale Shares disposed of in such Transaction (hereinafter referred to as the
"Contractual Penalty"). Any further liability of the Buyers in the event of
a breach of the Lock Up as set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 shall
be excluded, and neither Seller nor any other Party shall be entitled to
assert any further claims against Buyers, insofar as legally permissible
under mandatory law.

§ 8
Contingent Payment
8.1 Contingent Payment. If during the last ten (10) consecutive trading days
before (i) the expiry of eighteen (18) months, or (ii) the expiry of twenty
four (24) months, or (iii) the expiry of thirty (30) months, or (iv) the
expiry of thirty six (36) months since the Closing Date (each such date is
hereinafter referred to as a "Qualifying Date") the Average Qualifying Date
TEREX Common Stock Price (as defined below) of one (1) share of TEREX
Common Stock in Euro during such ten (10) trading day period is less than
the 1.28 times multiple of the Average TEREX Common Stock Price in Euro (as
calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 above) (hereinafter referred to
as the "TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed Value"), Seller will, in each case,
make a payment in immediately available funds in Euro to a bank account
designated by the Buyers in writing (each of which is hereinafter referred
to as a "Contingent Payment") within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Buyers' or a Buyers' representative written notice of a claim for a
Contingent Payment (hereinafter referred to as the "Contingent Payment
Notice"). The Contingent Payment will, in each case, be calculated in four
(4) consecutive steps as follows:
(a) The average price of one share of TEREX Common Stock in United States
dollars will be determined for each Qualifying Date by calculating the
average of the daily closing sale prices of TEREX Common Stock on the
consolidated report of trading of the NYSE issued for the ten (10)
consecutive trading days before each Qualifying Date (hereinafter the
"Average Qualifying Date TEREX Common Stock Price").
(b) The Average Qualifying Date TEREX Common Stock Price for each
Qualifying Date shall then be converted into Euro on the basis of the
official Euro Foreign Exchange Reference Rates between central banks
within and outside the European System of Central Banks issued and
published on a daily basis by the European Central Bank for the ten
(10) consecutive trading days ending before the respective Qualifying
Date.
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -23-
________________________________________________________________________________
(c) The Average Qualifying Date TEREX Common Stock Price in Euro shall be
divided by the Average Common Stock Price in Euro, thereby obtaining
the "Qualifying Date Multiple" (hereinafter also referred to as
"QDM").
(d) Dependent on the Qualifying Date Multiple, the respective Contingent
Payment shall be determined as follows:
(i) If the Qualifying Date Multiple for the respective Qualifying
Date is 1.28 or exceeds 1.28, then the Buyers shall not receive a
Contingent Payment for such Qualifying Date.
(ii) If the Qualifying Date Multiple for the respective Qualifying
Date is 1.00 or lower, then the Contingent Payment for such
Qualifying Date shall be EUR2,560,000.00 (in words: Euro two
million five hundred sixty thousand) (hereinafter referred to as
the "Maximum Contingent Payment" or "MCP").
(iii) If the Qualifying Date Multiple for the respective Qualifying
Date exceeds 1.00, but is lower than 1.28, then the Contingent
Payment shall be calculated on the basis of the following
formula:
MCP x [1 - (QDM - 1.00) : 0.28].
An example for the calculation of the Contingent Payment in case
the Qualifying Date Multiple for the respective Qualifying Date
exceeds 1.00, but is lower than 1.28 is, for explanatory
purposes, contained in Annex 8.1.
If, for whatever reason, on or prior to the third anniversary of the
Closing or during one of the time periods during which the Average TEREX
Common Stock Qualifying Date Value is calculated, TEREX (i)splits or
combines the shares of its common stock outstanding; (ii)merges or
consolidates with any corporation in a transaction in which the other
corporation is the surviving entity; (iii)reorganizes, recapitalizes or
reclassifies any of the shares of its common stock; or (iv)effects any
transaction having a similar effect, the Parties are obligated to
co-operate in order to replace the calculation method set
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -24-
________________________________________________________________________________
forth in this Section 8.1 by another calculation method, which corresponds
to the sense and purpose of the calculation method initially set forth in
this Section 8.1.
8.2 Reduction of Contingent Payment. The Maximum Contingent Payment for each
specific Qualifying Date shall be subject to a pro rata reduction with
respect to any sales of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares by the Buyers during
(i) the 18 months of the Lock Up period prior to the first Qualifying Date
or (ii) the six months of the Lock Up Period prior to each Qualifying Date
thereafter, if and when the consideration for one TEREX Common Stock Sale
Shares disposed of in such sale exceeded the TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed
Value. The pro rata reduction of the Maximum Contingent Payment for the
respective Qualifying Date shall be calculated as follows:
(a) The Maximum Contingent Payment for the first Qualifying Date shall be
cancelled in its entirety, if, during the 18 months of the Lock Up
Period prior to the first Qualifying Date, the Buyers have disposed of
25% of all TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares during such period for a
consideration per share of TEREX Common Stock exceeding the TEREX
Common Stock Guaranteed Value.
(b) The Maximum Contingent Payment for the second and each subsequent
Qualifying Date shall be cancelled in its entirety if, during the six
months of the Lock Up Period prior to the respective Qualifying Date,
the Buyers have disposed of 25% of all TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares
during such period for a consideration per share of TEREX Common Stock
exceeding the TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed Value.
(c) If the Buyers have disposed of less than 25% of all TEREX Common Stock
Sale Shares for a consideration per share of TEREX Common Stock
exceeding the TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed Value during such period,
the reduction will be calculated pro rata to the relation of the
percentage of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares disposed of in such
period for a consideration per share of TEREX Common Stock exceeding
the TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed Value to 25% of all TEREX Common
Stock Sale Shares.
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -25-
________________________________________________________________________________
(d) If the Buyers have, during (i) the 18 month period prior to the first
Qualifying Date or (ii) the six month period prior to a Qualifying
Date thereafter disposed of more then 25% of all TEREX Common Stock
Sale Shares for a consideration per share of TEREX Common Stock
exceeding the TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed Value, then the percentage
of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares exceeding 25% of all TEREX Common
Stock Sale Shares shall lead to a pro rata reduction of the Maximum
Contingent Payment becoming due on the following Qualifying Date
calculated in accordance with sub-sections (a) , (b) and (c) above.
An example for the calculation of the reduction of each Maximum Contingent
Payment in case the Buyers have within designated period prior to any
Qualifying Date have disposed of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares for a
consideration for one TEREX Common Stock Sale Share exceeding the TEREX
Common Stock Guaranteed Value is, for explanatory purposes, contained in
Annex 8.2. For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby set forth, that the
respective Maximum Contingent Payment shall only be reduced with respect to
the number of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares which were disposed of for a
consideration for one TEREX Common Stock Sale Share exceeding the TEREX
Common Stock Guaranteed Value. Any disposal of TEREX Common Stock Sale
Shares for a consideration which does not exceed such price, shall not lead
to any reduction of the Maximum Contingent Payment at all.
8.3 Cancellation of Contingent Payment. The Contingent Payment becoming due on
a Qualifying Date shall be cancelled in its entirety, no matter whether the
Buyers have disposed of any TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares during the six
months period prior to such Qualifying Date, if at any time during such six
months period prior to the respective Qualifying Date, the market value of
TEREX Common Stock in Euro exceeds the TEREX Common Stock Guaranteed Value
in Euro (as defined above) for a period of ten consecutive Business Days.
The market value of TEREX Common Stock in Euro for each of these ten
Business Days in Euro shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
set forth in Section 2.1 which shall apply analogously. For the avoidance
of doubt it is hereby set forth that the question whether the Contingent
Payment shall be cancelled on one or several Qualifying Dates in
Stock Purchase Agreement as of November 26, 2001 Page -26-
________________________________________________________________________________
accordance with this Section 8.3 has to be determined for each Qualifying
Date separately on the basis of the development of the market value of the
TEREX Common Stock during the six month period prior to the respective
Qualifying Date.
8.4 Conversion of Contingent Payment into TEREX Common Stock. TEREX may
designate by giving written notice to the Buyers' representatives
designated in Section 13.12 of this Agreement within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of a written Contingent Payment Notice that it desires,
instead of making a cash payment, to deliver to Buyers as Contingent
Payment such amount of newly issued, freely tradable and freely
transferable shares in TEREX Common Stock the value of which equals the
respective Contingent Payment. Such TEREX Common Stock shall be of the same
class and shall have the same terms as the currently outstanding shares of
TEREX Common Stock. The TEREX Common Stock shall be entitled to and be sold
with all rights thereto. The exact number of shares of TEREX Common Stock
to be delivered as Contingent Payment shall be determined and delivered to
each Buyer according to such Buyer's percentage in the TEREX Common Stock
Sale Shares indicated next to such Buyer's name in the Allocation Scheme
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the respective Contingent Payment
Notice in the same manner as described in Section 2.1 above, which shall
apply analogously. The decisive date for the calculation of the average
TEREX Common Stock price shall, however, not be the Closing Date, but the
respective Qualifying Date.
§ 9
Disposal of TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares
TEREX hereby acknowledges that the Buyers may decide to dispose of the TEREX
Common Stock Sale Shares, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7 of
this Agreement and Section 5.7 of the Agreement on the Sale and Purchase of
Shares (if applicable), either in whole or in part. If one or several of the
Buyers inform TEREX about such decision, TEREX shall assist Buyers in connection
with the disposal of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares by introducing them to
major market makers and providing them with other reasonable assistance to
dispose of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares, subject, however, to applicable
rules and regulations. Moreover, TEREX shall take all other reasonable actions
necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition of the TEREX Common

and all necessary approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted. TEREX is duly qualified
or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction
where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or
the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary,
except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good
standing that, individually or in the aggregate, have not resulted and
could not reasonably be expected to result in a materially adverse effect
on the business, assets, properties, results of operations or financial
condition of TEREX. The copies of TEREX's restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated by-laws, each as amended through the
date of this Agreement that are listed as exhibits to TEREX's Annual Report

each case in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting

amendments or supplements thereto, each as of the time of filing, did not
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading. The issuance of the TEREX Common Stock Sale Shares
are registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration
Statement.
10.6 No Materially Adverse Effect. The business of TEREX and its affiliates has
been conducted with the due care of a businessman (Sorgfalt eines

________________________________________________________________________________
Buyer, has arisen which could reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect the situation of TEREX and its affiliates, taken as a

Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit e.V. (DIS). The
arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators and shall have its
seat in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In accordance with the valid rules of
arbitration of the DIS, the Buyers on the one hand and TEREX and PPM GmbH
on the other hand shall each jointly appoint one arbitrator. The third
arbitrator shall then be appointed in accordance with the rules of
arbitration of the DIS. An award made on the basis of these proceedings is
final and binding for the Parties and may, upon application, be declared
enforceable by the pertinent state court. No appeal may be made against the
decision of the arbitration tribunal. The award shall also contain a
decision concerning the costs of the arbitration proceedings (including
remuneration for the arbitrators). The language of the proceedings shall be
English. Documents originating in German can be submitted in German. The
provisions in this §13.7 shall not prevent or hinder the Parties from
asserting their claims vis-à-vis the other Parties arising from this
Agreement by seeking a temporary injunction from the pertinent state
courts.
13.8 Costs. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in this Agreement, each Party to
the contract shall bear the costs he himself incurs in connection with the
preparation, Signing and performance of this Agreement, including the costs
for his advisors. The Seller shall bear the costs for the recording of this
Agreement by a notary and the costs for any further necessary notarial
deeds, commercial register applications and any turnover, transfer or
acquisition tax incurred by this Agreement and its completion. The
provisions of Section 6.3 of this Agreement shall prevail.
13.9 Severability. Should a provision of this Agreement be or become invalid or
unenforceable, or should there prove to be an omission herein, this shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of the
invalid provision, a valid provision shall be deemed agreed which
corresponds to the meaning and purpose of the invalid provision. In the
event of an omission, a provision shall be deemed agreed that corresponds,
in terms of the purpose and meaning of this Agreement, to what the Parties
would have agreed had the Parties considered the matter at the outset.
