(a) Rights to Purchase Engines. Each Sponsor has the right to purchase
--------------------------
Licensed Engines, Case Products, Cummins Products, Components and Service Parts
from the Partnership pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase
Agreement.
(b) Order Entry. Cummins and Case shall each establish a single point to
-----------
receive and process orders for Licensed Engines, Case Products and Cummins
Products from the Partnership and shall order, and cause their respective
Affiliates to order, Licensed Engines, Case Products and Cummins Products
through the corresponding order point. Case shall establish its order point at
the Partnership. All costs of establishing and maintaining Case's order point
at the Partnership shall be Case Partner Only Expenses under the Purchase
Agreement. All costs of establishing and maintaining an order point at the
Partnership for Cummins, if any, shall be Cummins Partner Only Expenses under
the Purchase Agreement.

----
(d) Acknowledgments. Acknowledgments of order receipts and shipment
---------------
commitments shall be in accordance with order rules established by the
Partnership.
SECTION 2.08 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. At least 120 days before the end of
--------------------
any calendar year, each Sponsor shall use reasonable efforts to provide the
Project Manager with a forecast of Licensed Engines, Cummins Products, Case
Products, Components and Purchased Parts that it and its Affiliates will require
from the Plant during the next five years. The forecast will be used, among
other things, in connection with the determination required under paragraph 3 of
Exhibit D to the Sponsors' Agreement. With respect to future production
- ---------
capacity of the Plant, the Sponsors agree as follows:
(a) Maintenance of Current Capacity. Except as the Sponsors shall
-------------------------------
otherwise agree, each year, as necessary, the Sponsors shall cause each Partner
to contribute 50% of any capital necessary to maintain the capacity of the
Plant at least at the level of the demonstrated production capacity of the Plant
for the prior year.
(b) Capacity Investments. Each Sponsor shall have the right unilaterally,
--------------------
in accordance with this Section 2.08(b) and subject to the review process of
---------------
Section 3.06(b) of the Partnership Agreement, to make expenditures to increase
- ---------------
the capacity of the Plant beyond Theoretical Current Capacity for any Units at
the Plant or to cause or permit the Plant to produce in excess of Theoretical
Current Capacity for any Units at the Plant but shall not have the right to make
Unilateral Investments or take any other action that reasonably would be
expected to result in a decrease of the Theoretical Current Capacity for any
Units at the Plant or causes the Plant to produce less than demonstrated
production for the prior year. If any five-year forecast described at the
beginning of this Section 2.08 implies sustained production by the Plant in
------------
excess of Theoretical Current Capacity for any Units at the Plant, the Project
Manager shall perform an analysis of the expenses, investments or costs
(including ongoing operating costs such as employee overtime costs) required to
increase the production capacity at the Plant so as to eliminate persistent
production shortfalls. Based on that analysis, the Sponsors shall make such
investments in the Plant's production capacity as are reasonably necessary and
are consistent with the investment objectives at the Sponsors and prudent
business judgment. Each Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to jointly fund the expenses, costs and/or investments in connection with the
increase of the Plant's capacity (a "Jointly Funded Investment"). In the event
-------------------------
of a Jointly Funded Investment, each Sponsor shall pay one-half of the aggregate
costs, expenses and/or investments related to such Jointly Funded Investment.
If the Sponsors do not agree to a Jointly Funded Investment, then either
Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to unilaterally make such
investments and incur such costs and expenses in connection with the increase to
the Plant's Theoretical Current Capacity for any Units at the Plant (a
"Unilateral Investment"). All investments, costs and expenses in connection
- ----------------------
with the installation or operation of any Unilateral Investment shall be borne
by the Sponsor making such investments and/or incurring such costs and expenses
and shall not be considered part of the Partnership's expenses, assets or
liabilities.
(c) A Sponsor may utilize the additional capacity of the Plant created by a
Unilateral Investment of the other Sponsor only upon payment to the other
Sponsor of an amount equal to (A)
-7-
(i) one-half of the average of (x) the acquisition costs to the other Sponsor of
the assets acquired (and/or the amount of capitalized expenditures) in
connection with such Unilateral Investment and (y) the then current book value
of such assets (and/or capitalized expenditures), plus (ii) one-half of the one-
time Partner Only Expenses required for installation of such capacity, plus
(iii) an amount sufficient to provide the other Sponsor with a [CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] on the Unilateral Investment or (B) such
other amount as the Sponsors shall agree. To the extent that a Sponsor utilizes
the additional capacity created by the other Sponsor's Unilateral Investment by
payment of the foregoing amount, the assets in connection with such expansion
shall be deemed equal contributions of the Partners to the Partnership and shall
be reflected in the Partnership's books accordingly. If one Sponsor makes a
minimal and infrequent use of the additional capacity created by a Unilateral
Investment of the other Sponsor, such first Sponsor shall not be required to
invest in such Unilateral Investment solely because of such minimal and
infrequent use; provided, however, that in such event, such first Sponsor shall
-------- -------
reasonably compensate the other Sponsor for such use and shall take such other
actions as determined by the Partner Representatives.
SECTION 2.09 UPFIT CENTER.
------------
(a) Nature of Upfit Center. The Sponsors shall cause the Partnership to
----------------------
allocate a portion of the Plant, not to exceed 20,000 square feet, to be used as
a center (the "Upfit Center") for storing and installing certain upfit items
------------
(not ordinarily included in engines that the Partnership produces) which Cummins
requires on its engine purchases. The Sponsors shall permit the Plant to
install such items on engines that have been assembled, tested and painted for
Cummins.
(b) Cummins' Use of Upfit Center. For so long as Cummins is the only party
----------------------------
requiring the use of the Upfit Center at the Plant, Cummins shall be solely
responsible for the amount of any expenditures necessary to maintain and operate
the same. Any assets acquired by Cummins in connection with such Upfit Center
shall be carried on Cummins' books and shall not be considered assets of the
Partnership.
(c) Joint Use of Upfit Center. If Case decides to use a portion of the
-------------------------
Upfit Center at the Plant, Case agrees to reimburse Cummins for an amount equal
to the average of the sum of one-half of the cost of the asset purchases after
June 25, 1986, and one-half of the current book value of such assets, or such
other amount as Cummins and Case may agree.
(d) Assets of Upfit Center. To the extent Cummins and Case participate
----------------------
equally in the capital requirements of the Upfit Center, the assets acquired
shall be deemed equal contributions of the Partners to the Partnership and shall
be reflected as such in the Partnership books.
SECTION 2.10 GENERAL TOOLING OBLIGATIONS. The rights and obligations of
---------------------------
the Sponsors with respect to Tooled Vendors and Supplier Tooling shall be
governed by the Supplier Tooling Agreement attached as Schedule 2.10.
-------------
-8-
SECTION 2.11 EMISSIONS NON-COMPLIANT ENGINES. The Sponsors intend that
-------------------------------
the Partnership shall continue to supply Licensed Engines not certified as
complying with the emissions standards of any governmental authority for diesel
engines as long as the demand for such Licensed Engines continues, unless it
becomes economically unfeasible to do so. If at any time a demand for such non-
certified Licensed Engines exists, and it is uneconomical for the Partnership to
produce such Licensed Engines, the Partnership Representatives shall meet and
attempt to reach an equitable solution. If they are unable to agree on a
solution, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.02.
------------
ARTICLE III
ADDITIONAL ENGINE MODELS
SECTION 3.01 ADDITIONAL CASE PRODUCTS. Case may, by written notice to
------------------------
Cummins, request that Cummins design and develop one or more models of engines
(other than the models of Licensed Engines set forth in Exhibit A) based on
---------
Licensed Engines and one or more additional components. If Cummins agrees in
writing, within 60 days of such notice, to jointly fund on an equal basis with
Case all capital investment (except Supplier Tooling, which shall be governed by
Section 5 of the Supplier Tooling Agreement) for such additional engine or
- ---------
component and all design and development costs thereof up to the launch of such
engine or component, then any such additional engine model shall be added to
Exhibit A and shall be a Licensed Engine. If Cummins does not agree to jointly
- ---------
fund such design and development work, Cummins shall have no responsibility to
fund or design such engine model. If Cummins agrees to design and develop such
engine model or component at Case's sole expense (plus any margin as may be
agreed by Cummins and Case), such engine model shall be a "Case Product" and
---- -------
shall be included in Licensed Products. Case shall fund all design and
development costs with respect to Case Products and all costs to keep Case
Products current and competitive. Any such Case Product shall be subject to the
License Agreement but not the Technical Assistance Agreement.
SECTION 3.02 ADDITIONAL CUMMINS PRODUCTS. Cummins shall have the right
---------------------------
to design and develop a model of engine other than the models of Licensed
Engines set forth in Exhibit A to this Sponsors' Agreement. Before Cummins
---------
begins work on the design or development of such an engine model to be produced
by the Partnership, Cummins shall give Case written notice thereof. Cummins'
notice shall include sufficiently detailed information about such engine model
so that Case can reasonably determine whether it wishes to jointly fund such
engine, including, without limitation, information with respect to design and
development expenses, capital expenditures, product target cost, program timing
and design objectives.
(a) If Case agrees in writing, within 60 days of such notice, to jointly
fund on an equal basis with Cummins such design and development work, then such
additional engine model shall be added to Exhibit A and shall be a Licensed
---------
Engine. Case shall contribute to the Partnership 50% of all capital investment
(other than Supplier Tooling, which shall be governed by Section 5 of the
---------
Supplier Tooling Agreement) and shall pay to Cummins 50% of all design and
development costs, in both cases for the Base Engine and options used by Case up
to the launch of such engine or
-9-
component. The assets acquired thereby shall be deemed equal contributions of
the Partners to the Partnership and shall be reflected in the Partnership books
accordingly.
(b) If Case does not agree in writing, within 60 days of such notice, to
jointly fund on an equal basis with Cummins the design and development work for
an additional engine model, then such additional engine model shall not be added
to Exhibit A. Cummins may nevertheless undertake to design and develop any such
---------
additional engine model or component proposed by Cummins (a "Cummins Product")
---------------
by itself or with the help of another Person.
(c) The following provisions shall apply to any additional engine models or
components in Section 3.01 or 3.02:
------------ ----
(1) The Sponsors shall cause the Partnership to produce such engine or
component for sale to the Sponsor that unilaterally funds the design and
development costs of such engine or component (the "Funding Sponsor"),
---------------
subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
(2) If production of such engine or component by the Partnership
requires any capital investment or any other costs, the Funding Sponsor
shall bear full responsibility for the same.
(3) The other Sponsor shall not be entitled to purchase such engine or
component from the Partnership unless:
(A) starting at the time of initial investment and continuing up
to the launch of such engine or component, pursuant to Section 3.01 or
---------------
3.02(a), as applicable, such other Sponsor contributes to the Partnership
-------
50% of all related capital investment (except Supplier Tooling, which shall
be governed by Section 5 of the Supplier Tooling Agreement), and pays to
---------
the Funding Sponsor 50% of all design and development costs, in both cases
for the Base Engine and new options that are specific to such other Sponsor
relating to such engine; or
(B) at any time after the expiration of the 60-day notice period
pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02(b), as applicable, such other Sponsor pays
-----------------------
to the Funding Sponsor an amount equal to the sum of (i) 50% of all related
capital investment (except Supplier Tooling, which shall be governed by
Section 5 of the Supplier Tooling Agreement), and 50% of all design and
---------
development costs for the Base Engine and new options that are specific to
such other Sponsor for such engine that have been paid by the Funding
Sponsor to that date, and (ii) the sum of (x) an amount equal to the
monthly interest rate equal to the Funding Sponsor's monthly average cost
of borrowings over the period it expended funds under clause (i),
----------
multiplied by the amount specified in clause (i) calculated as of the end
----------
of each month to the date such other Sponsor pays the Funding Sponsor
hereunder, and (y) a one-time buy-in fee equal to [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES
AND
-10-
EXCHANGE COMMISSION] multiplied by the sum of all amounts specified in
clause (i) that are actually paid or committed to be paid (i.e., for which
---------- ----
a purchase order has been issued) by the Funding Sponsor. Thereafter and
continuing up to the launch of such engine or component, such other Sponsor
shall contribute to the Partnership 50% of any additional capital
investment and shall pay to the Funding Sponsor 50% of any additional
design and development costs, in both cases required for the Base Engine
and new options that are specific to such other Sponsor relating to such
engine. If the other Sponsor makes such payments in this clause (B), such
----------
additional engine model shall be added to Exhibit A and shall be a Licensed
---------
Engine.
(4) Where Cummins is the Funding Sponsor, if Case does not choose
either of the options in Section 3.02(c)(3), Cummins shall offer to sell
------------------
such engine to Case pursuant to the Engine Supply Agreement.
(5) For so long as the Funding Sponsor is the only party to make
capital investments under this Section 3.02(c), the assets acquired by such
---------------
investments shall be carried on the Funding Sponsor's books and shall not
be considered Partnership assets. However, to the extent that Cummins and
Case participate equally in such investments, the assets acquired thereby
shall be deemed equal contributions of the Partners to the Partnership and
shall be reflected in the Partnership books accordingly.
(d) So long as the engines produced by the Partnership contain the same
bore and stroke as well as the resultant displacement as that set forth on
Exhibit A, including any enhancements or upgrades to such engines, such engines
- ---------
shall be included on Exhibit A and shall be Licensed Engines. If Cummins states
---------
that it intends to replace any Licensed Engine with a replacement engine (i.e.,
an engine with a different bore and stroke than the engine to be replaced),
Cummins shall notify Case, and such replacement engine shall be deemed an
additional engine model of the type described in the first sentence of this
Section 3.02. Case may agree to jointly fund such replacement engine as
- ------------
provided in this Section 3.02.
------------
(e) 4B ENGINE. The Sponsors acknowledge that the "4B Engine" is, as of the
---------
date hereof, under development by Cummins and that the 4B Engine shall be a
Licensed Engine. The Sponsors acknowledge that a principal objective is to
develop engines that will satisfy emissions standards prescribed by various
governmental authorities, including the United States Environmental Protection
Agency. The parties further acknowledge that it will become necessary for the
4B Engine to achieve compliance with United States Environmental Protection
Agency "Tier II" emissions standards when those standards become applicable to
the 4B Engine in coming years. Cummins has assured Case that it will be
possible for the Partnership to produce, without substantial additional capital
expenditures to the Partnership on the part of Case, a 4B Engine that achieves
compliance with the aforementioned emissions standards while also achieving
performance approaching that of the Encore engine ("Tier II Compliance"). As of
------------------
1995, Cummins informed Case that such capital expenditures were estimated to be
[CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]. The Sponsors therefore agree that
Case shall make payments
-11-
pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Related Agreements or agreements
subsequently entered into in furtherance hereof to the extent required to cover
Case's share of the capital expenditures necessary for the 4B Engine to achieve
Tier II Compliance; provided, however, that if at any time the Partnership
-------- -------
proposes to make capital expenditures that would cause the aggregate capital
expenditures for 4B Engine Tier II Compliance to exceed [CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION], Case shall not be required to make
payments to cover its share of any portion of such excess except to the extent
that Case is given the opportunity to review and approve the proposed excess
expenditures prior to the time the Partnership commits to such expenditures.
(f) ENCORE ENGINE. Case shall participate in the D Family (8.8 liter)
-------------
models of Encore engine pursuant to Section 3.02. Cummins shall sell to Case,
------------
and Case shall have the right to purchase from Cummins, all fuel systems and
electronic technology improvements and advancements developed by Cummins or on
behalf of Cummins in connection with the Encore model Cummins engine now
available or made available in the future at [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED
HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION] of Cummins' production cost as demonstrated by Cummins to the
reasonable satisfaction of Case.
SECTION 3.03 OTHER ENGINES. If the Partnership plans to produce engines
-------------
other than Licensed Engines and Cummins engines currently produced by the
Partnership (which are natural gas B engines and natural gas C engines) at the
Plant, the Sponsors shall meet and discuss the impact of such plans on this
Agreement, including the capital expenditures, fee and pricing provisions of
this Agreement, and shall agree upon such modifications to this Sponsors'
Agreement and the other Related Documents as are necessary to avoid any inequity
or detriment to either Sponsor or their Affiliates.
SECTION 3.04 THIRD PARTY ENGINES. Notwithstanding anything in this
-------------------
Article III to the contrary, Cummins shall have the right to design and develop,
- -----------
at its sole cost and expense, proprietary engines for third parties based on
Family I, Family II and Family III designs; provided, however, that Cummins
-------- -------
shall not have the right to manufacture or assemble such engines at the Plant or
to have such engines manufactured or assembled by the Partnership.
SECTION 3.05 THREE-CYLINDER ENGINES. The 3-290, 3T-290 and 3TA-290
----------------------
engines are included in Exhibit A and the definition of "Licensed Engine";
---------
provided, however, that, unless the Sponsors otherwise agree, the Partnership
- -------- -------
shall not be required to (i) manufacture blocks and heads for any three-cylinder
Licensed Engines unless the combined annual volume of the Sponsors' aggregate
orders for such blocks and heads exceeds [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED
HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION] Components or (ii) assemble any three-cylinder Licensed Engines
unless the combined annual volume of the Sponsors' orders for such Licensed
Engines exceeds [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HERE HAS
-12-

accordance with the latest Annual Operating Plan, except as provided under any
applicable Interim Plan (as defined in Section 3.06(e)).
---------------
(a) Preparation. Each year, subject to the terms and conditions of the
-----------
Sponsors' Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and this Partnership Agreement, the
General Manager shall prepare, under the direct supervision of the Project
Manager, a proposed operating plan for the following calendar year. Among other
things, the proposed plan shall include (i) agreed upon production demand
volumes for Cummins and Case and their respective Affiliates, which shall
reflect their respective best estimates and which shall not be considered firm
orders, (ii) the Theoretical Current Capacity of each of the Capacity Products
for such year, (iii) the Upfit Center Capacity for such year and (iv) the best
estimate of the Take, and where applicable, the Worldwide Take for each of Case
and Cummins for such year (the "Planned Take Percentage") and such other cost
-----------------------
allocation estimates as may be required under the Related Agreements. The
General Manager shall provide information necessary to support each Partner's
planning process promptly upon request from such Partner. In addition, the
proposed operating plan shall itemize Base Capital Expenditures project by
project, and each project shall describe cash requirements for the year of the
plan and for the life of the project and the proposed Unilateral Investments of
each Partner's Parent. The proposed operating plan shall also provide an
analysis of expected Working Capital levels for each month-end and cash
requirements for each month of the applicable calendar year. Upon completion,
the proposed operating plan shall be submitted to the Partner Representatives
for review.
(b) Review. The Partner Representatives shall discuss and try to approve
------
the proposed operating plan as soon as possible. A Partner Representative shall
not reject a proposed operating plan on the basis of a proposed Unilateral
Investment contained therein unless such Partner Representative reasonably
believes that such proposed Unilateral Investment will adversely affect the
Partnership or the Theoretical Current Capacity of any Capacity Products. If
the proposal is acceptable to both Partner Representatives, they shall submit
it, along with any recommended modifications, to the Partnership Committee for
review and approval. If the Partner Representatives are unable to agree within
two weeks after the proposed operating plan is presented to them by the General
Manager, or such additional time as they may determine, the proposed operating
plan, along with any recommended modifications and points of disagreement, shall
be submitted to the officers at Cummins and Case, acting as executive vice
presidents or the equivalent, who are generally
Ex. C-6
responsible for Partnership matters. Such officers shall discuss and try to
approve the proposed operating plan. If they agree, they shall submit the
proposed operating plan, along with any recommended modifications, to the
Partnership Committee for review and approval. If such officers are unable to
agree after two weeks, or such additional time as they may determine, the
proposed operating plan, along with any recommended modifications and the points
of disagreement, shall be submitted to the chief executive officer of Cummins
and the chief executive officer of Case. The chief executive officers shall
discuss and try to approve the proposed operating plan. If they agree, they
shall submit the proposed operating plan, along with any recommended
modifications, to the Partnership Committee for review and approval. If the
chairman and the chief executive officer are unable to agree after two weeks, or
such additional time as they may determine, the matter shall be resolved in a
manner to be determined by the Partners.
(c) Capital Projects. Base Capital Expenditures included in any proposed
----------------
annual operating plan in accordance with Section 3.06(a) shall be approved to
---------------
the extent they (i) are consistent with stated Partnership objectives, (ii) are
reasonably required for the efficient operation of the Partnership and (iii) do
not exceed a reasonable level, either as to individual projects or as to all
capital projects taken together. Unless the Partnership Committee otherwise
expressly agrees, with respect to any capital project included in a proposed
plan, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) Approval of the project shall extend to approval of the total
spending level specified in the plan for the life of the project.
(2) Approval of the project shall extend to approval of the spending
level specified in the plan for the applicable year; provided, however,
-------- -------
that as actually implemented such spending level may deviate, without
further approval, by 10% or $200,000, whichever is greater, so long as:
(A) the deviation is reasonably necessary as a result of
unforeseen circumstances; and
(B) overall capital spending during the applicable year does not
exceed the total specified in the corresponding Annual Operating Plan.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
-------
3.06, capital projects costing over $100,000 that were not included in the
----
approved Annual Operating Plan, and are subsequently determined to be
reasonably necessary for the operation of the Plant, shall require the
approval of both Sponsors prior to implementation of any such capital
project.
(4) Separate approval shall be required under subsequent operating
plans for annual spending levels on approved capital projects in the
corresponding years; provided, however, that approval shall not be withheld
-------- -------
if the spending level reasonably approximates the spending level projected
for such year when the project was initially approved and if the
Ex. C-7
Project Manager reaffirms that such spending level is still reasonable
under the circumstances.
(d) Approval. Any proposed operating plan shall become effective
--------
according to its terms, including any deviation permitted under Section
-------
3.06(c)(2), upon approval by the Partnership Committee, which approval shall not
- ----------
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Partnership Committee does not
approve an annual operating plan in its entirety, the Partnership Committee
shall submit the portion of such plan (a "Partially Approved Plan") agreed upon
-----------------------
to the Project Manager for implementation.
(e) Interim Plan. If, by December 15 of any year, the Partnership
------------
Committee has not approved an operating plan for the following calendar year,
the Project Manager shall implement, and both Partners shall cooperate in a
timely fashion to implement and abide by the most recent version of the proposed
operating plan offered by the Project Manager (the "Interim Plan") , excluding
------------
items specifically not agreed by the Partners. Such Interim Plan shall remain
in effect until the earlier of (i) the end of the year in which it is intended
to apply or (ii) when the Partnership Committee approves an operating plan for
the year, subject to any adjustments in Plant operation that may be necessary
after plan approval. An Interim Plan shall be superseded by a Partially
Approved Plan to the extent of the provisions in the Partially Approved Plan.
SECTION 3.07 DISPUTES. If the Partnership Committee becomes deadlocked on
--------
any matter requiring its approval, or any dispute arises between the Partners,
the matter shall be submitted to the Partner Representatives and the dispute
resolution procedures set forth in Section 6.02 (other than the first sentence
------------
of Section 6.02) of the Sponsors' Agreement shall be followed. Except as
------------
provided in Section 3.06(e), the General Manager, and other employees of the
---------------
Partnership, shall have no authority to act regarding any matter which requires
and has not received the approval of the Partnership Committee until such
approval has been given.

additional costs resulting from the activity and shall include a reasonable
return to the Partnership.

basis for a stated period of time or variable prices consistent with commercial
practices for that product or service as negotiated between the Partnership and
the Selling Party under an appropriate supply agreement.
(b) Limitations. The terms and conditions for any sale to the Partnership
-----------
under this Section 4.04 of materials, equipment or services shall (i) be

competitive with terms and conditions of other qualified vendors of such
equivalent materials, equipment or services and (ii) not be less favorable than
those given by the Selling Party to similarly situated best-user non-affiliated
customers for equivalent materials, equipment or services.
(c) Verification. At the request of either Partner, for any sale described
------------
in Section 4.04(a), the Selling Party shall provide to the independent public
---------------
accountants of the Partnership, at the initiation or renewal of the supply
agreement governing such sale, any invoices, vouchers and other documents and
records reasonably requested by such accountants in order to verify compliance
with the standards set forth in this Section 4.04. If no request for review is
------------
made within 60 days following the issuance of the audit report of the
Partnership for the fiscal year during which a supply agreement with Selling
Party was initiated or renewed, such supply agreement shall be deemed to comply
with this Section 4.04, and neither Partner shall have a right thereafter to
------------
claim that the transaction covered by such supply agreement was not in
compliance with this Section 4.04.
------------
(d) Excess Payments. If the price paid by the Partnership for any
---------------
materials, equipment or services exceeds that allowed in Section 4.04(b), the
---------------
Selling Party shall refund any excess paid to the Selling Party by the

thereafter. The Partnership shall have the right to set off any unrefunded
excess against any fees or other sums due or to become due to the Selling Party
under this Agreement.
(e) Other Sales. The Partnership may purchase from a Selling Party
-----------
services which are not regularly sold by such Selling Party in the competitive
open market. The terms and conditions of sale to the Partnership for such
services shall be as negotiated by the Partnership and the Selling Party and
shall be reasonable under the circumstances.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION] multiplied by a ratio, the numerator of which is the Price
Index as of January 1 of the applicable calendar year, and the denominator of
which is the Price Index as of January 1, 1990. Whenever the Partnership's
Working Capital requirements exceed its actual Working Capital, but are less
than the Base Level, each Partner shall contribute to the Partnership cash equal
to 50% of the difference between the Working Capital requirement and actual
Working Capital upon ten days written notice from the Partnership.
(b) Excess Contributions. On or prior to the 15th day prior to the first
--------------------
day of each fiscal quarter of the Partnership, the Controller shall submit to

- ----------------------
for such fiscal quarter, less (ii) any amount by which the Working Capital
requirements of the Partnership estimated by the Controller pursuant to clause
------
(i) in the prior fiscal quarter exceeded the amount of Working Capital actually
- ---
required by the Partnership in the prior fiscal quarter. On the first day of
each fiscal quarter, either (x) the Partnership shall distribute to each Partner
cash in an amount equal to any positive difference between the actual Working
Capital available to the Partnership for such fiscal quarter and the Forecast
Working Capital Amount for such fiscal quarter, or (y) each Partner shall

between the Forecast Working Capital Amount for such fiscal quarter and the
actual Working Capital available to the Partnership for such fiscal quarter.
During each fiscal quarter, the Partnership shall retain and invest all funds
representing any excess Working Capital until the first day of the next fiscal
quarter. Interest earned on any excess Working Capital shall be allocable on a
50/50 basis to each Partner by the Partnership as of the first day of each

and other costs attributable to such debt.

market value as determined by the Partnership Committee of any property
distributed to such Partner by the Partnership and with any deductions and
losses allocated to such Partner pursuant to this Partnership Agreement. To the
extent that required payments by a Partner's Parent are different from the
purchase price due under the Purchase Agreement, and an equal amount of
difference is experienced by each Partner's Parent, such difference shall
constitute a capital contribution by each Partner or a capital distribution to
each Partner.
SECTION 6.02 ALLOCATIONS. Except as specifically provided to the contrary
------------
in this Partnership Agreement, all income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or
any item thereof) and any tax credits of the Partnership shall be allocated as
follows:
Case Holding 50%
Cummins Holding 50%
SECTION 6.03 PARTNERSHIP INCOME AND EXPENSE. Expenses incurred by a
------------------------------
Partner as to which such Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership shall be
treated as Partnership expenses. Payments received by a Partner that it is
obligated to pay to the Partnership shall be treated as Partnership receipts.
SECTION 6.04 INTEREST. Neither Partner shall be entitled to be paid
--------
interest with respect to its capital account or any capital contributions made
by it to the Partnership.
SECTION 6.05 RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Except as provided in Section 5.02,
----------------------- ------------
neither Partner shall be entitled to a return of any cash or property that it
has contributed to the capital of the Partnership, but shall look solely to
distributions from the Partnership. Except as provided in Sections 10.05,
--------------
10.06(b) and 10.06(c), neither Partner shall be required to contribute any cash
- -------- --------
or property to the Partnership to enable the Partnership to return any Partner's
capital contribution or to effect the repayment of the credit balances, if any,
in the Partners' respective capital accounts on dissolution of the Partnership
or to enable the Partnership to make any other distributions of any kind
whatsoever to either Partner.
Ex. C-11
SECTION 6.06 SECTION 704(c) ALLOCATIONS.
--------------------------
(a) Statement of Principle. The transfers of interest in the Partnership
----------------------
pursuant to Case's reorganization resulted in terminations for federal income
tax purposes under Internal Revenue Code Section 708, and deemed contributions
of appreciated property by Cummins Holding subject to Code Section 704(c) and
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3 (the "704(c) Regulations"). The 704(c)
------------------
Regulations allow the Partners to agree to a reasonable method of reflecting the
difference between the tax basis and value of property deemed contributed by
Cummins Holding on the date of the tax termination. The intent of the Partners
is, to the extent permitted by applicable tax law, to allocate to Cummins
Holding the same depreciation it would have been allocated if there had been no
tax termination of the Partnership.
(b) Treatment of Undivided Interests. For purposes of applying the 704(c)
--------------------------------
Regulations, each Partnership asset (or group of assets permitted to be
aggregated under the 704(c) Regulations) existing on the date of the tax
termination shall be treated as giving rise to two items of Property: the 50%
undivided interest deemed contributed by Cummins Holding (the "Cummins 708
Property") and the 50% undivided interest deemed contributed by Case Holding
(the "Case 708 Property").
(c) Choice of 704(c) Method. The Partnership shall use the traditional
-----------------------
method with curative allocations provided in (S) 1.704-3(c) of the 704(c)
Regulations with respect to the Cummins 708 Property and Case 708 Property, as
further provided in this Section 6.06.
------------
(d) Regular Depreciation.
--------------------
(1) Depreciation and cost recovery deductions and gains and losses
with respect to Cummins 708 Property taken into account for regular tax
purposes shall first be allocated to Case Holding until Case Holding is
allocated 50% of the amount that would have been allocated if the Cummins
708 Property had a tax basis equal to fair market value. Any remaining
depreciation and cost recovery deductions and gains and losses with respect
to the Cummins 708 Property shall be allocated to Cummins Holding.
(2) Depreciation and cost recovery deductions and gains and losses
with respect to the Case 708 Property taken into account for regular tax
purposes shall be allocated 50% to each Partner, except that the
Partnership shall make curative allocations to Case Holding of a portion of
the amounts otherwise allocable to Cummins Holding. The amount of the
curative allocation shall be the lesser of (A) the amount needed to reduce
Cummins Holding's allocation of depreciation and cost recovery deductions
and gains and losses with respect to Cummins 708 Property and Case 708
Property to the amount Cummins Holding would have been allocated if there
had been no tax termination of the Partnership, and (B) the amount needed
to increase Case Holding's allocation of such amounts to the amount Case
Holding would have been allocated if the Cummins 708 Property had had a tax
basis equal to fair market value on the date of the tax termination. The
amount in clause (A) of the preceding sentence shall be determined on a
cumulative basis from July 15, 1994.
Ex. C-12
(e) AMT Depreciation.
----------------
(1) Depreciation and cost recovery deductions and gains and losses
with respect to Cummins 708 Property taken into account for alternative
minimum tax purposes shall first be allocated to Case Holding until Case
Holding is allocated 50% of the amount that would have been allocated if
the Cummins 708 Property had a tax basis equal to fair market value. Any
remaining depreciation and cost recovery deductions and gains and losses
with respect to the Cummins 708 Property shall be allocated to Cummins
Holding.
(2) Depreciation and cost recovery deductions and gains and losses
with respect to the Case 708 Property taken into account for alternative
minimum tax purposes shall be allocated 50% to each Partner, except that
the Partnership shall make curative allocations to Case Holding of a
portion of the amounts otherwise allocable to Cummins Holding. The amount
of the curative allocation shall be the lesser of (A) the amount needed to
reduce Cummins Holding's allocation of depreciation and cost recovery
deductions and gains and losses with respect to Cummins 708 Property and
Case 708 Property to the amount Cummins Holding would have been allocated
if there had been no tax termination of the Partnership, and (B) the amount
needed to increase Case Holding's allocation of such amounts to the amount
Case Holding would have been allocated if the Cummins 708 Property had had
a tax basis equal to fair market value on the date of the tax termination.
The amount in clause (A) of the preceding sentence shall be determined on a
cumulative basis from the date of this Amendment.
(f) Variation by Agreement. The Partners may vary the tax allocations
----------------------
resulting from the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6.06 if the Partners
------------
agree that a different allocation would be fairer or would more closely comply
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations.
ARTICLE VII
DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 7.01 AMOUNT AND CHARACTER OF DISTRIBUTIONS. All distributions
-------------------------------------

determined by the Partnership Committee.
SECTION 7.02 DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions by the Partnership to the
-------------
Partners shall be in equal shares; provided, however, that the amount of any

---------------
Partnership Committee shall determine the minimum cash requirements of the
Partnership, and, unless otherwise determined by the Partnership Committee, all
cash in excess of such requirements shall be distributed monthly to the Partners
as set forth above.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or superseding legislation enacted in
lieu thereof. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Partners, for the first

be made:
(a) Election of the calendar year as the taxable year of the Partnership;
(b) Election of the accrual method of accounting;
(c) Election of the accelerated methods for the computation of
depreciation;
(d) Election to expense research and experimental expenditures;

Agreement, and if Cummins Holding gives such notice to Case Holding within 12
months after the calendar year in which such sales took place, or within 12
months after discovering such sales if Case and/or its Affiliates intentionally
or fraudulently concealed them. Failure to give such notice in any one calendar

calendar year in which Case and its Affiliates sell more than [CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION] such engines.
SECTION 10.02 DAMAGES. If the Partnership is dissolved as provided in
--------
Section 10.01(b)(iii), the Defaulting Party shall be in breach of this

--------------
and 10.06; or
-----
(b) acquire the other Partner's interest in the Partnership as provided in

In any event, from the date of dissolution to the date of termination, the
Electing Party (in the case of Section 10.01(b)) or Cummins Holding (in the case
----------------
of Section 10.01(c)) shall have sole control of the operations and assets of the
----------------
Partnership.
SECTION 10.05 DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP. After the date of dissolution
--------------------------
and if the Electing Party (in the case of Section 10.01(b)) or Cummins Holding
(in the case of Section
Ex. C-16
10.01(c)) elects to proceed with the winding up and liquidation of the
Partnership as provided in Section 10.04(a), the Partnership shall not enter
----------------
into any contract or undertake any business not then subject to contract or
which is not related to the winding up of the Partnership. Upon dissolution and
subsequent winding up, a proper accounting shall be made of the Partnership's
assets, liabilities and operations from the date of the last previous accounting
to the date of dissolution. The profits and losses realized after the date of
dissolution shall be allocated in accordance with Article VI and proper
----------
adjustments made to the capital account of each Partner. Any amounts owed by
either Partner to the Partnership shall be charged against such Partner's
capital account. Profits and losses realized on the sale of any Partnership
asset in the process of winding up shall be allocated as provided in
Article VI. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Partners, all of the
- ----------
assets of the Partnership shall be sold or otherwise converted into cash.
Assets not sold shall be valued at their fair market value and gain or loss
allocated as provided in Article VI as if they had been sold at their fair
----------
market value. Either Partner which has a deficit in its capital account upon
dissolution of the Partnership shall be required to contribute funds to

of priorities:
(a) In payment of all liabilities of the Partnership to creditors other
than the Partners and their Parents. If any liability is contingent, or
uncertain in amount, a reserve equal to the maximum amount to which the

not needed, if any, shall be distributed in accordance with this Section 10.06.
-------------
(b) In payment of liabilities to the Partners and their Parents, as
vendors to the Partnership.

----------------
10.01(b)) or Cummins Holding (in the case of Section 10.01(c)) shall give
written notice of such election to the other Partner within 60 days after the
date of dissolution. If the capital accounts of the Partners are equal, the
purchase price for such interest shall be the agreed upon fair market value of
the Partnership assets less the Partnership liabilities multiplied by 50%. If
the capital accounts of the Partners are unequal, the price shall be the agreed
upon fair market value of the Partnership assets less the Partnership
liabilities multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the capital
account of the non-electing Partner (in the case of Section 10.01(b)) or Case
Holding
Ex. C-17
(in the case of an election by Cummins Holding under Section 10.01(c)) and the
denominator of which is the sum of the capital accounts of both Partners. The
Electing Party (in the case of Section 10.01(b)) or Cummins Holding (in the case
of Section 10.01(c)) shall continue the business of the Partnership until the
purchase price has been determined. As of the date of agreement on such price
and terms of payment, such other Partner causing the dissolution shall
immediately cease to be a Partner in the Partnership and shall have no interest
in the assets of the Partnership, either as a Partner or otherwise, except to
receive payment of such price and, unless the other Partner is a Defaulting
Party under Section 10.01(b)(iii), the Electing Party (in the case of Section
---------------------
10.01(b)) or Cummins Holding (in the case of Section 10.01(c)) shall continue
the business of the Partnership to manufacture, assemble, test and sell Licensed
Engines, Components and Service Parts to such other Partner and its Affiliates
to the extent required under any then existing purchase contracts between the
Partnership and such other Partner or its Affiliates. If there is no agreement
on such price and terms of payment within 12 months from the date of notice
given pursuant to this Section 10.07 after good faith negotiations, the Electing
-------------
Party (in the case of Section 10.01(b)) or Cummins Holding (in the case of
Section 10.01(c)) shall proceed with winding up and liquidation in accordance
- ----------------
with the terms of Sections 10.05 and 10.06.

EXHIBIT D TO THE
SPONSORS' AGREEMENT
THEORETICAL CURRENT CAPACITY
Concurrent with the preparation of the Annual Operating Plan for each
calendar year, the Sponsors shall also determine the Theoretical Current
Capacity of the Plant for such year for Licensed Engines, Head Sub-Assembly,
Cummins Products, Case Products, each of the Components (each, a "Unit" and,
----
collectively, the "Capacity Products") in accordance with the provisions of this
-----------------
Exhibit D. The "Theoretical Current Capacity" for each Unit shall equal the
- --------- ----------------------------
number determined by application of the following formula:
[CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION].
1. In determining Theoretical Current Capacity for a Unit in any year,
the Sponsors shall maintain the operation of the Plant in a practical and
efficient manner. In determining what is practical and efficient in operating
the Plant, the Sponsors shall consider existing policies and procedures of, and
past practices for, the operation of the Plant and the impact of any changes to
such policies and procedures and past practices. Each Sponsor may also consider
its various economic alternatives (e.g., deciding whether to incur operating
----
expenses or capital expenditures) to achieve the goals of each Sponsor with
respect to Theoretical Current Capacity levels for a Unit.
2. At the time of determination of Theoretical Current Capacity for a
Unit, the Sponsors shall provide five-year estimates of their demand for such
Unit from the Plant. Each estimate provided by Case shall estimate Case's
entire worldwide requirements for Capacity Products. Each estimate provided by
Cummins shall estimate Cummins requirements for Capacity Products at the Plant.
For each calendar year, the sum of the estimated demand of Case and Cummins of
Capacity Products shall equal the "Aggregate Demand." The Sponsors shall make
----------------
the determinations in this Exhibit D in a manner that both (i) is consistent
---------
with the requirements of paragraph 1 above and (ii) endeavors to avoid the
payment of any fees described in paragraph 4 below by either Sponsor.
3. Each Sponsor shall also estimate the number of its purchases of
Capacity Products from the Partnership for such year in the Annual Operating
Plan.
4. In any year a Sponsor shall pay a Utilization Fee to the other Sponsor
if the first Sponsor purchases a number of engines included in Capacity Products
that exceeds the sum of (i) 50% of the Theoretical Current Capacity for such
year for such engines, plus (ii) Underutilized Capacity for such engines of the
other Sponsor at the Plant plus (iii) with respect to Cummins (in order to
consider the impact of Transferred Engines actually purchased by Case in the
Theoretical Current Capacity available to Cummins), the positive amount (if any)
by which the number of Transferred Engines actually purchased by Case and its
Affiliates exceeds Case's Underutilized Capacity. [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
CONTAINED HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED
Ex. D-1
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION].
"Underutilized Capacity" with respect to a Sponsor in any year shall mean the
- -----------------------
positive amount, if any, by which (x) 50% of Theoretical Current Capacity for
such year for engines included in Capacity Products exceeds (y) the number of
such engines purchased by such Sponsor in such year from the Plant. For purposes
of calculating the Utilization Fee, in no event shall the Theoretical Current
Capacity available to Cummins in a calendar year be less than the sum of (x) 50%
of Theoretical Current Capacity for such year and (y) the number of Transferred
Engines actually purchased by Case in such year.
5. If actual production with respect to any Unit exceeds Theoretical
Current Capacity with respect to such Unit in any calendar year, actual
production for such Unit shall become Theoretical Current Capacity for such Unit
for the same calendar year. Theoretical Current Capacity with respect to any
Unit shall also be increased by the Sponsors in any year as a result of any
Jointly Funded Investment or if a Sponsor jointly funds the other Sponsor's
Unilateral Investment in accordance with Section 2.08(c) of the Sponsors'
---------------
Agreement. If a Sponsor makes a Unilateral Investment, the capacity created by
such Unilateral Investment shall not be included in the calculation of
Theoretical Current Capacity and such Unilateral Investment shall reduce the
number of Capacity Products subject to the Utilization Fee by the amount by
which capacity is increased by such Unilateral Investment.
6. Any Utilization Fee accrued for a calendar year shall be paid by the
relevant Sponsor, net of any Utilization Fee owing to it, on or before January
31 of the calendar year immediately after such year.

INFORMATION AND SERVICES PROVIDED
Ex. F-1
SECTION 2.01 PURPOSE AND SCOPE. Cummins shall provide the
-----------------
Partnership, Case and Case Affiliates with Technical Information and support
services regarding Licensed Engines (including the electronically controlled
engines that constitute Licensed Engines) which use direct injection compression
ignition (diesel cycle). For purposes of this Technical Assistance Agreement,
such Technical Information and support services shall cover only Licensed
Engines which use diesel derivative fuels or other fuels that can be readily
burned in a direct injection compression ignition engine without major revision
to the component systems design, but shall not cover spark ignition (Otto Cycle)
engines or engines employing fuels which require major component system redesign
or major change to the engine component materials. Cummins shall allow Case to
reasonably participate in Cummins' internal long range engine planning process
(product preceding technology), and Cummins shall use reasonable efforts to
accommodate the reasonable interests of Case and the Partnership in such
planning process as expressed through Case's participation in such process.
SECTION 2.02 TECHNICAL INFORMATION. Cummins shall provide the
---------------------
Partnership, Case and Case's Affiliates with all of the Technical Information
regarding those Licensed Engines described in Section 2.01 as covered by this
------------
Technical Assistance Agreement that is within Cummins' capability to provide and
is, in the judgment of Cummins, reasonably useful and necessary for (i)
producing such Licensed Engines and Components at the Partnership, Case's
Manufacturing Affiliate and Case's North American plant, if such plants are
established pursuant to Sections 2.06(a) and (b) of the Sponsors' Agreement,
---------------- ---
(ii) keeping such Licensed Engines technologically current, (iii) adapting such
Licensed Engines to changing requirements, with regard to applications or uses
of Licensed Engines or as may be required by any applicable governmental
regulations, (iv) keeping such Licensed Engines competitive with regard to cost
and performance, and (v) providing information on Cummins' Licensed Engine
advanced engine technology.
SECTION 2.03 SUPPORT SERVICES. Cummins shall provide such assistance
----------------
to the Partnership, Case and Case's Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary
for them to use the Technical Information regarding those Licensed Engines
described in Section 2.01 as being covered by this Technical Assistance
------------
Agreement, and shall provide reasonable on-going engineering and technical
assistance in connection with design and product development regarding such
Licensed Engines including, without limitation, the following:
(a) providing worldwide design control;
(b) keeping designs competitive;
(c) providing specifications to meet government regulations;
(d) supplying technical information and alternate approaches on options and
ratings and approving new product manufacturing processes, including. without
limitation, preproduction parts approval and emissions pre-certification;
(e) approving sources;
(f) approving manufacturing or process changes;
(g) supporting Plant quality problem resolution;
(h) supporting Plant and customer needs for supplier technical assistance;
(i) supporting Plant cost reduction efforts;
(j) resolving product problems; and

(k) advanced design activities.
The Partnership recognizes the benefit of limiting form, fit and function
design changes. When such changes are required, Cummins shall advise Case as
early as possible in the design process to understand impacts on Case products.
Cummins shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate any concerns of Case prior
to issuance of any engineering release directing the implementation of such
engineering changes. Any disagreements between Case and Cummins concerning
engineering changes shall be resolved by the Product Family Chief Engineer
(specified within Cummins Engineering Std 99043). Cummins shall notify the
Partnership, Case and Case Affiliates promptly of any corrections to the
Technical Information furnished hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph,
Cummins and the Partnership shall not implement any engineering change that
would: (i) increase the Materials Costs of Licensed Engines or Components to be
sold to Case or its Affiliates by more than [CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED
HERE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION] without the prior approval of Case; or (ii) require Case to modify a
product in order to install a Licensed Engine in such product without giving
Case 20 days prior written notice of such engineering change. If Case gives the
Partnership written notice, before such change is implemented, that such change
is unacceptable, and if thereafter Case and Cummins are unable to resolve such
engineering change dispute, the matter shall be referred to the Partnership
Committee and resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
6.02 of the Sponsors' Agreement (excluding the first sentence thereof).
SECTION 2.04 PLAN. In the fourth quarter of every year during the
----
term of this Technical Assistance Agreement, Cummins and Case shall agree upon a
conceptual ten-year product and project technical plan under which Cummins will
perform the support services described in Section 2.03. Such plan shall include
------------
an overall strategy and prioritize the services to be performed. The first two
years covered by any such plan shall be reasonably detailed with only the first
year considered firm as approved within Cummins' annual operating plan. The
parties shall make available adequate resources to meet and manage the agreed
upon product and project technical plan.
In support of such technical planning, Case and Cummins agree to
participate together in a periodic planning process known as the "Case/Cummins
Midrange Technical Steering Committee." The Case/Cummins Midrange Technical
Steering Committee, comprised of Case and Cummins technical leaders, shall
regularly review product and project technical plans and adjust such plans as
necessary on a short-term and long-term basis to meet the business needs of
Case, Cummins and the Partnership. If the members of the Case/Cummins Midrange
Technical Steering Committee do not agree on any such product plans, such
disagreement shall be presented to the Technical Committee for resolution.

ENGINE TRANSFER AGREEMENT
THIS ENGINE TRANSFER AGREEMENT, dated as of April 21, 1998 ("Engine
------
Transfer Agreement"), between CONSOLIDATED DIESEL COMPANY, a North Carolina
- ------------------
partnership (the "Partnership"), CASE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
-----------
("Case"), and CUMMINS ENGINE COMPANY, INC., an Indiana corporation ("Cummins").
---- -------
WHEREAS, Case and Cummins agree that Cummins or Cummins' Affiliates should
have the right to produce and sell to Case engines demanded by Case from the
Partnership; and
WHEREAS, Case and its Affiliates desire to purchase engines from facilities
of Cummins and its Affiliates other than the Plant to reduce time differentials
and improve communication, at commercial prices that are identical to those Case
would have been charged had the Partnership produced the engines and sold them
to Case.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms
-----------
shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit G to the Amended and Restated
---------
Sponsors' Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Sponsors' Agreement"),
-------------------
between Case, Cummins, Case Holding and Cummins Holding.
2. Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Purchase
------------------
Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to
the purchases by Case of Licensed Engines.
3. Right to Delegate. Upon request by either Case or Cummins to the
-----------------
other parties hereto and in accordance with Section 4, the parties shall jointly
---------
have the right to permit and cause the Partnership to delegate to Cummins the
Partnership's obligations to sell to Case and its Affiliates Licensed Engines,
as required under Section 2.02(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement, such performance
------------------
of the Partnership's obligations to sell to be performed by Cummins at plants
and facilities of Cummins and Cummins' Affiliates other than the Plant (the
"Outside Facilities"). Such engines that the parties agree that Cummins shall
- -------------------
produce at an Outside Facility and sell to Case hereunder shall be referred to
herein as "Transferred Engines." If the parties agree to such a delegation,
-------------------
Case and its Affiliates shall purchase from Cummins, and Cummins shall sell to
Case and its Affiliates, Transferred Engines, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Engine Transfer Agreement.
Ex. H-1
4. Procedure for Delegation. Concurrent with the preparation of the
------------------------
Annual Operating Plan for each calendar year, Case shall provide to Cummins and
the Partnership an estimate for such year of the entire worldwide requirements
of Licensed Engines of Case and its Affiliates. The parties shall agree in
writing with respect to such year, upon (i) the estimated number of such engines
and products to be produced and sold by the Partnership, (ii) the estimated
number of Transferred Engines, (iii) the particular Outside Facilities that will
produce such Transferred Engines and (iv) the manner and timing of the transfer
of production from the Plant to the Outside Facilities. Case and its Affiliates
shall use their reasonable best efforts to purchase Transferred Engines in
accordance with such estimated volumes from the specified Outside Facilities.
If, at any time during such calendar year, Case or Cummins desires to materially
change the amount of, and/or Outside Facilities with respect to, Transferred
Engines, such party shall so notify the other party and the parties shall agree
upon the appropriate action to take. All disputes relating to Transferred
Engines and the performance of the parties hereunder shall be resolved in
accordance with Section 6.02 of the Sponsors' Agreement.
------------
5. Duties upon Delegation. If the parties agree in accordance with
----------------------
Section 3 that Cummins shall provide Transferred Engines, then:
- ---------
(a) The parties shall cooperate to enable an efficient transfer of
production of engines from the Plant to the applicable Outside Facilities.
(b) Cummins, as Project Manager, shall manage the process of any transfer
of production and shall review such forecasts and other prospective information
relating to the operation of the Plant as necessary or desirable to maintain the
efficient operation of the Plant. If, in Cummins' discretion, the transfer of
production of the Transferred Engines to Outside Facilities adversely affects
the operation of the Plant, Cummins shall so notify Case. Cummins and Case
shall jointly negotiate a solution to such issue and shall take such action as
then mutually agreed upon, including, without limitation, transferring
production of the Transferred Engines from the Outside Facilities back to the
Plant. If the Parties are unable to negotiate a solution, such issue shall be
resolved in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Sponsors' Agreement.
------------
(c) Cummins shall perform engine performance tests on the Transferred
Engines and shall demonstrate to Case's reasonable satisfaction prior to each
delegation of performance in accordance with Section 3 and as often as Case
---------
reasonably deems necessary after such delegation that Case's specified engine
performance characteristics are met by 100% of the Transferred Engines.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent of any delegation
described in Section 3, Cummins shall have all of the rights and perform all of
---------
the obligations of the Partnership pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with
respect to Cummins' provision of Transferred Engines to Case and its Affiliates.
The Partnership shall indemnify and hold Cummins harmless for any liability
Cummins may have under Article V of the Purchase Agreement as a result of
---------
Cummins' provision of Transferred Engines to Case and its Affiliates under this
Agreement.
(e) Unless the parties shall agree otherwise, Case and its Affiliates shall
order Transferred Engine(s) from the Outside Facility that shall produce such
Transferred Engine(s)
Ex. H-2
substantially in accordance with the procedures for placing orders specified in
the Purchase Agreement. The Outside Facility producing Transferred Engines shall
provide to the Partnership each month information concerning the volume of
engines invoiced to Case and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement by shop
order and delivery date. Such Outside Facility shall also provide to the
Partnership each month any forecast information provided to such Outside
Facility by Case relating to such Transferred Engines. Such Outside Facility
shall also provide to the Partnership any product changes (and related effective
dates) requested by Case and its Affiliates with respect to Transferred Engines.
The Partnership shall maintain the Transferred Engine shop orders to the same
build level and design status as the respective shop orders at the Outside
Facility producing the Transferred Engines.
(f) For all Transferred Engines sold by Cummins hereunder, Cummins shall
invoice the facility of Case or its Affiliate to which, or on behalf of which,
such product was delivered. Such invoices shall be payable within 30 days of
the date thereof. All payments made by Case and its Affiliates hereunder shall
be in United States dollars.
6. Additional Capacity at the Plant. Cummins, in its sole discretion,
