AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER REVOLVING NOTE

(Multi-Currency)

US$6,500,000.00 Toronto, Ontario

December 23, 2011

ON THE MATURITY DATE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, MANITEX LIFTKING, ULC, a an Alberta corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of COMERICA BANK, a Texas banking association and authorized foreign bank under the Bank Act (Canada) (“Bank”) at Bank’s office located at Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Royal Bank Plaza, 000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, X0X 0X0, or to such other office(s) as Bank may designate in writing from time to time, in lawful currency of Canada, the principal sum of SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 US DOLLARS (US$6,500,000.00), or the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars, or so much of said sum as has been advanced and is then outstanding under this Note, together with interest thereon and fees as hereinafter set forth.

This Note is a note under which Advances, repayments and re-Advances may be made from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note; provided, however, in no event shall Bank be obligated to make any Advances or re-Advances hereunder (notwithstanding anything expressed or implied herein or elsewhere to the contrary, including, without limit, if Bank supplies Borrower with a borrowing formula) in the event that any Default, or any condition or event which, with the giving of notice or the running of time, or both, would constitute a Default, shall have occurred and be continuing or exist and Bank, at any time and from time to time, without notice, and in its sole and absolute discretion, may refuse to make any Advance or re-Advance to Borrower without incurring any liability due to this refusal and without affecting Borrower’s liability under this Note for any and all amounts advanced.

Advances hereunder are available in Canadian Dollars by way of Canadian Prime-based Advances or US Dollars by way of US Prime-based Advances, as elected by Xxxxxxxx or as otherwise determined under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of each outstanding Canadian Prime-based Advance and US Prime-based Advance, as applicable, hereunder shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, until maturity (whether stated herein, by acceleration or otherwise). Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for Canadian Prime-based Advances and US Prime-based Advances, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the Applicable Interest Rate as a result of any change in the Canadian Prime Rate or the US Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change.

From and after the occurrence and during the continuance or existence of any Default hereunder, and so long as any such Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Indebtedness (as defined below) outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a per annum rate of three percent (3%) above the otherwise Applicable Interest Rate, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In addition to the foregoing, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment hereunder may be charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days after the payment due date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall not constitute a waiver of any Default hereunder.

The amount and date of each Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, any failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this Note, when due in accordance with the terms hereof.

Xxxxxxxx may request an Advance hereunder upon the delivery to Bank of a Request for Advance executed by an authorized officer of Xxxxxxxx, subject to the following:

(a) no Default, and no condition or event which, with the giving of notice or the running of time, or both, would constitute a Default, shall have occurred and be continuing or exist under this Note;

(b) each such Request for Advance shall set forth the information required on the Request for Advance form annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”;

(c) each such Request for Advance shall be delivered to Bank by 11:00 a.m. (Toronto, Ontario time) on the proposed date of Advance in the case of Canadian Prime-based Advances and US Prime-based Advances;

(d) an Advance outstanding in one currency cannot be converted to an Advance in another currency; and

(e) a Request for Advance, once delivered to Bank, shall not be revocable by Borrower; provided, however, as aforesaid, Bank shall not be obligated to make any Advance under this Note.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is acknowledged that Borrower and Bank may enter into certain cash management arrangements pursuant to separate written arrangements by and between Borrower and Bank (such cash management arrangements sometimes hereinafter called the “Sweep to Loan Documents”) whereby Bank’s “sweep to loan” automated system shall be utilized for obtaining Prime Referenced Rate advances hereunder and making periodic repayments of such advances. Accordingly, so long as the Sweep to Loan Documents are in full force and effect, no Request for Advance shall be required for any advance hereunder. In the event that the Sweep to Loan Documents are either not entered into or are no longer in full force and effect, then the Request for Advance shall be used for any and all advances hereunder. Each time an advance is made using the sweep to loan automated system, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to Bank that no Default has occurred and is in existence hereunder and no default or Event of Default has occurred under any of the Documents.

Borrower may prepay all or any part of the outstanding balance of any Canadian Prime-based Advance or US Prime-based Advance under this Note at any time. Any prepayment made in accordance with this paragraph shall be without premium or penalty.

In the event that any payment under this Note becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates set forth in this Note.

All payments to be made by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this Note shall be in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, and in the event that any payments submitted hereunder are in funds not available until collected, said payments shall continue to bear interest until collected. Payments in respect of Advances in US Dollars shall be made in US Dollars and payments in respect of Advances in Canadian Dollars shall be made in Canadian Dollars. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge any account(s) of Borrower with Bank for any and all sums due hereunder, when due in accordance with the terms hereof.

The obligation of Borrower to make payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable hereunder in the currency specified for such payment hereunder shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by Bank of the full amount of the particular currency expressed to be payable herein. Bank shall, using all amounts obtained or received from Borrower pursuant to any such tender or recovery in payment of principal of and interest hereunder, promptly purchase the applicable currency at the most favourable spot exchange rate determined by Bank to be available to it at such time. The obligation of Borrower to make payments in a particular currency shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action solely for the purpose of recovering in the applicable currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the currency expressed to be payable herein.

All payments to be made by Borrower under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and without deduction for or on account of any present or future withholding or other taxes of any nature imposed by any governmental authority or of any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of which such governmental authority may at the time of payment be a member, unless Borrower is compelled by law to make payments subject to such tax. In such event, Borrower shall (i) pay to Bank, for the account of Bank, such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that Bank receives a net amount equal to the full amount which would have been receivable under this Note had payment not been made subject to such tax, and (ii) send to Bank such certificates or certified copies of receipts as Bank shall reasonable require as proof of the payment by Borrower of any such taxes payable by Borrower. As used herein, the term “tax”, “taxes” and “taxation” includes all existing taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings and any restrictions or conditions resulting in a charge, together with interest thereon and fines and penalties with respect thereto, which may be imposed by reason of any violation or default with respect to the law regarding such tax, assessed as a result of or in connection with any Advances hereunder or the indebtedness of Borrower under this Note, or the payment or delivery of funds into or out of any jurisdiction other than Canada.

If at any time and for any reason, the sum of the aggregate Advances hereunder to Borrower outstanding exceeds (or taking into account any Request for Advance, would exceed) the lesser of (i) SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 US DOLLARS (US$6,500,000.00), or the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars, or (ii) the Advance Formula (as defined in the Advance Formula Agreement), Borrower shall, upon demand by Bank, until the necessary reductions of indebtedness under this paragraph have been fully made, repay the indebtedness outstanding hereunder and/or reduce any Requests for Advances submitted (or to be submitted) by Xxxxxxxx in respect of such Advances, by the amount of such excess, to the full extent thereof. Any reduction of indebtedness required under this paragraph shall be accompanied by such other amounts as may be payable by Borrower to Bank under this Note as a result of such reductions.

If the adoption after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: (a) shall subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Note or any Indebtedness hereunder, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest under this Note or any other amounts due under this Note in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office is located); or (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Note or the Indebtedness outstanding hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Note by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the undersigned shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of the undersigned’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to the undersigned, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the making or maintaining any Advances hereunder, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or the making or maintaining of such Advances hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or to the making or maintaining any Advances hereunder. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.

This Note and any other indebtedness and liabilities of any kind of Borrower to Bank, and any and all modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, whether joint or several, contingent or absolute, direct or indirect, now existing or later arising, and however evidenced (collectively the “Indebtedness”), are secured by and Bank is granted a security interest in all items at any time deposited in any account of Borrower with Bank and by all proceeds of these items (cash or otherwise), all account balances of Borrower from time to time with Bank, by all property of Xxxxxxxx from time to time in the possession of Bank, and by any other collateral, rights and properties described in each and every mortgage, security agreement, pledge, assignment and other security or collateral agreement which has been, or will at any time(s) later be, executed by Borrower, or others, to or for the benefit of Bank (collectively the “Collateral”).

Xxxxxxxx agrees that Bank has the right to sell, assign, or grant participations, or any interest, in any or all of the Indebtedness, and that, in connection with such right, but without limiting its ability to make other disclosures to the full extent allowable, Bank may disclose all documents and information which Bank now or later has relating to Borrower and the Indebtedness. Xxxxxxxx agrees that Bank may provide information relating to this Note or relating to Borrower to Bank’s parent, affiliates, subsidiaries and service providers.
