5 [[6412628]] You agree, at our request, to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to assist, subject to any applicable limitation set forth in the Acquisition Agreement) in the preparation of a version of the Information Materials that consists exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not material with respect to the Company, the Acquired Business or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being referred to herein as “Public Lender Information”, and any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information being referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”). It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, you agree to execute and deliver to us (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to any applicable limitation set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, to cause the Seller to execute and deliver to us) (i) a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to Lenders’ employees willing to receive Private Lender Information and (ii) a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of Information Materials consisting solely of Public Lender Information and represent that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information, which letters shall in each case include a customary representation as to the accuracy of information. You further agree that each document to be disseminated by us to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information; provided that, except as provided in the next sentence, in the event that any such document is not identified as containing Private Lender Information or solely Public Lender Information, such document shall be treated as containing Private Lender Information. You acknowledge that the following documents will contain solely Public Lender Information (unless you notify us promptly that any such document contains Private Lender Information): (x) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities, including term sheets; (y) administrative materials prepared by us for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocations, if any, and funding and closing memoranda); and (z) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities. We will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of the Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (which shall exclude Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you shall have no obligation under this Section 3 to provide (1) any financial statements (other than the financial statements referenced in paragraphs 5 and 6 of Exhibit D), unless any such financial statements referred to in this clause (1) would be required so that any marketing materials would not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions, but without limiting the conditions precedent in Section 6 hereof or Exhibit D hereto, and without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication in this Section 3, compliance with any of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding or availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date. 4. Information. You hereby represent and warrant that (a) all written information other than the Projections, forward-looking information and other information of a general economic or industry- specific nature (the “Information”) (in the case of Information regarding the Acquired Business, to the best of your knowledge) that has been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives, taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, 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 light of the circumstances under which such statements are made when taken as a whole (giving effect to supplements thereto from time to time), and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to us (it being understood that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, the Projections, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be achieved and actual results may differ from the Projections and such differences may be material). You agree that if any time prior to the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the Syndication Date any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (or, prior to the Closing Date, with respect to the Information and Projections relating to the Acquired Business, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Seller to, subject to any applicable limitation set forth in the Acquisition Agreement) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances on such date (it being understood in each case that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties). In arranging and syndicating the Facilities,

7 [[6412628]] we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions, but without limiting the conditions precedent in Section 6 hereof or Exhibit D hereto, and without limiting the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4, compliance with any of the provisions set forth in this Section 4 shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding or availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date. 5. Fees. As consideration for our commitments hereunder and agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to us the nonrefundable fees set forth in the amended and restated fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Arranger Fee Letter”) and in the administrative agent fee letter dated as of the Original Commitment Letter Date and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Administrative Agent Fee Letter” and, together with the Arranger Fee Letter and any other fee letters with respect to the Facilities, the “Fee Letters”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. 6. Conditions Precedent. Our commitments hereunder and our agreements to perform the services described herein are subject only to the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 6 and Exhibit D hereto, it being understood and agreed that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder with respect to the Facilities other than those expressly stated or referred to in this Section 6 and Exhibit D hereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the definitive documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations made by, or with respect to, the Acquired Business in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders in their capacity as such, but only to the extent that the Company (or any of its affiliates) has the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate its obligations (or otherwise decline to consummate the Acquisition) under the Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of any such representations in the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the definitive documentation for the Facilities shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 6 and in Exhibit D hereto are satisfied (or waived by each of the Commitment Parties); provided that, subject to any requirements in the Existing Credit Agreement, to the extent any security interest in any Collateral is not or cannot be provided and/or perfected on the Closing Date (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests in (x) the certificated capital stock held by the Loan Parties (to the extent required under the Term Sheets) (other than a pledge of any such certificate for any person that is a member of the Acquired Business if such certificate has not been made available to you at least two business days prior to

For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties relating to the Loan Parties set forth in the Term Sheets relating to corporate existence, power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery, in each case as they relate to the entering into and performance of the definitive documentation for the Facilities; the enforceability of such documentation; compliance of the transactions with Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; use of proceeds not in violation of OFAC and other laws applicable to sanctioned persons, the PATRIOT Act and other anti-money laundering laws, the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws; no conflicts between the definitive documentation for the Facilities and the organization documents of the Loan Parties; solvency of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions (with solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with the definition set forth in the solvency certificate to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 8 of Exhibit D hereto); and, subject to the limitations set forth in the prior sentence, creation, validity, perfection and priority of security interests. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provisions”. 7. Indemnification; Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that: (a) The Company will (i) obtain a senior secured incremental term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $795,000,000 (plus, at the Company’s election, an additional amount sufficient to fund any original issue discount or upfront fees payable as a result of the application of any Flex Provisions (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter) with respect to the Acquisition Term Facility and the Delayed Draw Acquisition Term Facility (as defined below) (the “OID Increase”)) as described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter (the “Acquisition Term Facility”), which will be established as an incremental term loan facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified on or prior to the date of the Commitment Letter (including pursuant to the Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement dated as of July 21, 2024, among the Company, the other Loan Parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Agent), the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, (ii) obtain senior secured incremental revolving facilities in an aggregate amount of $800,000,000 as described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Incremental Revolving Facilities” and, together with the Acquisition Term Facility, the “Incremental Acquisition Facilities”), (iii) obtain a senior secured delayed draw incremental term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $455,000,000 (the “Delayed Draw Acquisition Term Facility”) under the Existing Credit Agreement, which will, when funded, have the same terms as, and constitute a single fungible Class (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of term loans together with the Acquisition Term Facility and (iv) seek to issue an aggregate principal amount of up to $750,000,000 in senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a Rule 144A private placement and, to the extent the Company is unable to issue the full amount of the Notes on or prior to the Closing Date,

(b) The Incremental Revolving Facilities will replace the existing $600,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement, all Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding as of the Closing Date will be terminated, all Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding as of the Closing Date will be prepaid and fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith will be paid (the “Refinancing”). (c) The proceeds of the Facilities funded on the Closing Date (and any Notes issued in lieu of the Bridge Facilities), together with the proceeds of the Delayed Draw Acquisition Term Facility and cash on hand at the Company and its subsidiaries, will be applied to (i) pay the consideration for, and other amounts owing in connection with, the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement, (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (the “Transaction Costs”) and (iii) in the case of the Incremental Revolving Facilities, fund the Refinancing. (c) The Existing Credit Agreement will be amended to reflect the terms of the Incremental Acquisition Facilities (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Delayed Draw Acquisition Term Facility) as described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter, giving effect to the application of the Flex Provisions, if applicable, and making such other changes as may reasonably be agreed between the Company and the Lead Arrangers.

EXHIBIT C Exh. C-1 [[6412628]] Project Fort $750,000,000 Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit C shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit C is attached (the “Commitment Letter”) or in the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit C shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used. Borrower: Terex Corporation (for the purposes of this Exhibit C, the “Borrower”) Agent: The Agent under the Acquisition Term Facility will act as sole administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Bridge Agent”) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (collectively, the “Bridge Lenders”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles. Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners: The Arrangers under the Acquisition Term Facility will act as the lead arrangers and bookrunners for the Bridge Facility (as defined below), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles. Bridge Loans: The Bridge Lenders will provide a senior unsecured increasing rate bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”, and the loans thereunder, the “Bridge Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) $750,000,000 less (ii) any Commitment Reduction applied to the Bridge Facility less (iii) the aggregate amount of gross cash proceeds provided by Notes or other Securities issued on or prior to the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (including any Notes issued into escrow). Purpose: The proceeds of the Bridge Loans will be used on the Closing Date, together with cash on hand and the proceeds from the borrowing under the Acquisition Term Facility, to finance the Transactions (including the Transaction Costs). Availability: The Bridge Loans will be available for drawing on the Closing Date. Repayments and prepayments of the Bridge Loans may not be reborrowed.

Exh. C-2 [[6412628]] Interest Rates: The Bridge Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (for interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months, as selected by the Borrower), plus an increasing spread as described below (as applicable, the “Spread”). The Spread will be (i) 3.00% per annum (for the three month period beginning on the Closing Date), (ii) 3.50% per annum (for the three month period beginning three months after the Closing Date), (iii) 4.00% per annum (for the three month period beginning six months after the Closing Date) and (iv) 4.50% per annum (for the three month period beginning nine months after the Closing Date); provided that if, as of the first day of any interest period, the Borrower does not have ratings on its senior unsecured debt securities of (x) at least Ba3 (stable) from Moody’s and (y) at least BB- (stable) from S&P, each of the percentages per annum set forth above shall increase by 50 basis points for such interest period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, thereafter, such 50 basis points increase will not be applicable to any subsequent interest period if, as of the first day of such interest period, the Borrower does have ratings on its senior unsecured debt securities of (x) at least Ba3 (stable) from Moody’s and (y) at least BB- (stable) from S&P). Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on the Bridge Loans shall not exceed the Total Cap (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter), in each case, without giving effect to any default interest. Interest will be payable in cash quarterly in arrears, on the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date and on the date of any prepayment of the Bridge Loans. Calculation of interest will be on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For amounts outstanding after the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, interest will be payable on demand at the default rate. SOFR shall be deemed to be not less than 0.00% (and will not be subject to a credit spread adjustment). Default Rate: The applicable interest rate plus 2.0% per annum, payable on overdue amounts. Guarantees: All obligations of the Borrower under the Bridge Facility will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Bridge Guarantees”) on a senior unsecured basis by each subsidiary of the Borrower that guarantees the Acquisition Term Facility (each, a “Subsidiary Bridge Guarantor”). Each Bridge Guarantee will be automatically released on terms and subject to conditions customary for Rule 144A high-yield securities (including upon the release of the corresponding guarantees of the Senior

Documentation: The definitive documentation with respect to the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Loan Documentation”) will (i) be negotiated in good faith, giving effect to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, (ii) be based upon that certain unsecured notes indenture dated April 1, 2021, among the Borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Precedent Indenture”), subject to customary mechanical changes to reflect the nature of the Bridge Loans as loans and the documentation as a loan agreement rather than an indenture, (iii) contain the terms and conditions consistent with those set forth in the Commitment Letter and this Exhibit C after giving effect to any applicable “market flex” pursuant to the Arranger Fee Letter, (v) be modified to increase all baskets and thresholds to be sized proportionally to the Borrower’s current EBITDA and (vi) be modified as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Bridge Agent to reflect the operational and agency requirements of the Bridge Agent (the “Bridge Loan Documentation Principles” and, together with the Incremental Documentation Principles, the “Documentation Principles”). Maturity, Conversion and Exchange: The Bridge Loans will have an initial maturity date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date”). On the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, any Bridge Loan that has not been previously repaid in full will be, subject to the absence of a bankruptcy event of default, automatically converted into a senior unsecured term loan (each an “Extended Term Loan”) due on the date that is eight years after the Closing Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loans so converted. The date on which Bridge Loans are converted into Extended Term Loans is referred to as the “Conversion Date”. At any time on or after the Conversion Date, at the option of the applicable Bridge Lender upon not less than five business days’ notice, the Extended Term Loans may be exchanged by the holders thereof in whole or in part for senior unsecured exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”) having an equal principal amount; provided that no Exchange Notes shall be issued until the Borrower shall have received requests to issue at least $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchange

The Extended Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge Loan Documentation and will have the same terms as the Bridge Loans except as expressly set forth herein or on Annex I hereto. The Exchange Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture that will have the terms set forth on Annex II hereto. Mandatory Prepayments: The Bridge Loans shall be prepaid (without premium or penalty) at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest with, subject to certain exceptions to be agreed upon, (i) the net proceeds from the incurrence, issuance, offering or placement of any long-term debt for borrowed money (other than borrowings under the Incremental Revolving Facilities) or equity securities by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, in each case incurred or issued after the Closing Date (with such proceeds being applied to repay the Bridge Loans prior to the repayment of loans outstanding under the Senior Facilities), provided that in the event any Bridge Lender (or any of its affiliates) purchases debt securities from the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries at a price above that which such Bridge Lender (or affiliate) has reasonably determined such debt securities can be resold by such Bridge Lender (or affiliate) to a bona fide third party at the time of such purchase (and notifies the Borrower thereof), the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower or such subsidiary in respect of such debt securities may, at the option of such Bridge Lender, be applied first to prepay the Bridge Loans of such Bridge Lender prior to being applied to prepay the Bridge Loans held by other Bridge Lenders, and (ii) the net proceeds in excess of $50 million from any non-ordinary course asset sales by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (including proceeds from the sale of equity securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower) in excess of the amount reinvested or required to be paid to the lenders under the Senior Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all mandatory prepayments under clause (ii) above (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) will (x) be limited, in the case of non-U.S. subsidiaries, to the extent a distribution of the relevant amounts would result in material adverse tax consequences, (y) be subject to permissibility under local law of upstreaming proceeds (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of the relevant directors) and

Scheduled Amortization: None. Representations and Warranties: Subject, on the Closing Date, to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, substantially similar to the Acquisition Term Facilities Documentation relating to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, giving regard to the Bridge Loan Documentation Principles (and in any event such representations and warranties shall not be more restrictive to the Borrower and its subsidiaries than those set forth in the documentation for the Senior Facilities). Change of Control: Each holder of the Bridge Loans will be entitled to require the Borrower, and the Borrower shall offer, to repay the Bridge Loans held by such holder, at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus all accrued fees and all accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repayment, upon the occurrence of a “change of control” (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Bridge Loan Documentation Principles).

Covenants: The Bridge Loan Documentation will contain such affirmative and negative covenants consistent, to the extent applicable, with those contained in the Precedent Indenture after giving effect to the Bridge Loan Documentation Principles (but in any event, no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those applicable to the Acquisition Term Facility; provided that the cumulative amount under the builder basket for restricted payments under the Bridge Loan Documentation will be included in such builder basket.

Exh. C-6 [[6412628]] The Bridge Loan Documentation will include a customary covenant for the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to use their commercially reasonable efforts to issue Notes to refinance the Bridge Loans. Events of Default: Subject, on the Closing Date, to the Limited Conditionality Provisions, events of default will be subject to materiality levels, default triggers, grace and cure periods and/or exceptions consistent with the Precedent Indenture after giving effect to the Bridge Loan Documentation Principles (but in any event no more restrictive than those applicable to the Acquisition Term Facility). In case an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Borrower, may declare the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all Bridge Loans to be due and payable immediately. If a bankruptcy or insolvency event of the Borrower occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on the Bridge Loans will be immediately due and payable without any notice, declaration or other act on the part of the holders of the Bridge Loans. An acceleration notice may be annulled and past defaults (except for monetary defaults not yet cured) may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans. Voting: Substantially similar to the Senior Facilities Documentation, with such changes and additions as are necessary and appropriate in connection with the Bridge Loans. Amendments and waivers of the Bridge Loan Documentation will require the approval of Bridge Lenders (the “Required Bridge Lenders”) holding at least a majority of the aggregate amount of the Bridge Loans or the Extended Term Loans, as applicable, except that (i) the consent of each affected Bridge Lender shall be required with respect to, among other things, (A) increases in the commitment of such Bridge Lender, (B) reductions or forgiveness of principal, interest or fees payable to such Bridge Lender (provided that a waiver of a default and a waiver or amendment to the terms of any mandatory prepayment or any obligation to pay the Default Rate will not constitute a reduction of interest for this purpose or an extension of the dates of payment thereof), (C) extensions of final maturity of, or dates for payment of interest on, the loans or commitments of such Bridge Lender, (D) modifications to certain provisions requiring the pro rata treatment of Bridge Lenders and (E) additional conditions on

Assignments and Participations: Subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Commitment Letter, the Bridge Lenders shall have the right to assign their interest in the Bridge Loans in whole or in part after consultation with, but without the consent of, the Borrower; provided, however, that prior to the date that is one year after the Closing Date and unless a Demand Failure Event (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter) in respect of the Bridge Loans has occurred or a bankruptcy event of default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall be required with respect to any assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if, subsequent thereto, the Lead Arrangers (together with their respective affiliates) would hold, in the aggregate, less than 50.1% of the outstanding Bridge Loans. For any assignments for which the Borrower’s consent is required, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten business days of a request for such consent. Each assignment will be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Assignments will be by novation and will be subject to customary restrictions on eligible assignees to be agreed.
