Products And Services We sell our products categorized in the following business segments:

Cranes and Related Products Our Crane segment designs, manufactures and/or distributes a diversified line of crawler and truck mounted lattice-boom cranes, which we sell under the “Manitowoc” name. Our Crane segment also designs and manufactures a diversified line of top slewing and self erecting tower cranes, which we sell under the “Potain” name. We design and manufacture mobile telescopic cranes which we sell under the “Grove” name. We also design and manufacture a comprehensive line of hydraulically powered telescopic and articulated boom trucks, which we sell under the “National” brand name. We also provide crane product parts and services, and crane rebuilding and remanufacturing services which are delivered under the “Crane CARE” brand name. In some cases our products are manufactured for us or distributed for us under strategic alliances. Our crane products are used in a wide variety of applications throughout the world, including energy, petrochemical and industrial projects, infrastructure development such as road, bridge and airport construction, commercial and high-rise residential construction, mining and dredging. Many of our customers purchase one or more crane(s) together with several attachments to permit use of the crane in a broader range of lifting applications and other operations. Various crane models combined with available options have lifting capacities up to 1,433 U.S. tons.

Lattice-boom Cranes. Under the Manitowoc brand name we design, manufacture and distribute lattice-boom crawler cranes. Lattice-boom cranes consist of a lattice-boom, which is a fabricated, high-strength steel structure that has four chords and tubular lacings, mounted on a base which is either crawler or truck mounted. Lattice-boom cranes weigh less and provide higher lifting capacities than a telescopic boom of similar length. The lattice-boom cranes are the only category of crane that can pick and move simultaneously. The lattice-boom sections, together with the crane base, are transported to and erected at a project site.

We currently offer models of lattice-boom cranes with lifting capacities up to 1,433 U.S. tons, which are used to lift material and equipment in a wide variety of applications and end markets, including heavy construction, bridge and highway, duty cycle and infrastructure and energy related projects. These cranes are also used by the crane rental industry, which serves all of the above end markets.

Lattice-boom crawler cranes may be classified according to their lift capacity — low capacity and high capacity. Low capacity crawler cranes with 150-U.S. ton capacity or less are often utilized for general construction and duty cycle applications. High capacity crawler cranes with greater than 150-ton capacity are utilized to lift materials in a wide variety of applications and are often utilized in heavy construction, energy-related, stadium construction, petrochemical work, and dockside applications. We offer six low-capacity models

and eight high-capacity models. We also manufacture lattice-boom, self erecting truck cranes. These cranes serve the same markets as our high capacity crawler cranes. They differ from their crawler counterparts only in that they are mounted on a truck rather than a crawler and can travel at highway speeds.

We also offer our lattice-boom crawler crane customers various attachments that provide our cranes with greater capacity in terms of height, movement and lifting. Our principal attachments are: MAX-ER™ attachment, luffing jibs, and RINGER attachments. The MAX-ER is a trailing, counterweight, heavy-lift attachment that dramatically improves the reach, capacity and lift dynamics of the basic crane to which it is mounted. It can be transferred between cranes of the same model for maximum economy and occupies less space than competitive heavy-lift systems. A luffing jib is a fabricated structure similar to, but smaller than, a lattice-boom. Mounted at the tip of a lattice-boom, a luffing jib easily adjusts its angle of operation permitting one crane with a luffing jib to make lifts at additional locations on the project site. It can be transferred between cranes of the same model to maximize utilization. A RINGER attachment is a high-capacity lift attachment that distributes load reactions over a large area to minimize ground-bearing pressure. It can also be more economical than transporting and setting up a larger crane.

Tower Cranes. Under the Potain brand name we design and manufacture tower cranes utilized primarily in the building and construction industry. Tower cranes offer the ability to lift and distribute material at the point of use more quickly and accurately than other types of lifting machinery without utilizing substantial square footage on the ground. Tower cranes include a stationary vertical tower and a horizontal jib with a counterweight, which is placed near the vertical tower. A cable runs through a trolley which is on the jib, enabling the load to move along the jib. The jib rotates 360 degrees, thus increasing the crane’s work area. Except when using a remote control device, operators occupy a cabin, located where the jib and tower meet, which provides superior visibility above the worksite. We offer a complete line of tower crane products, including top slewing, luffing jib, topless, self-erecting, and special cranes for dams, harbors and other large building projects. Top slewing cranes are the most traditional form of tower cranes. Self-erecting cranes are bottom slewing cranes which have counterweight located at the bottom of the tower and which are able to be erected, used and dismantled on job sites without assist cranes.

Top slewing tower cranes have a tower and multi-sectioned horizontal jib. These cranes rotate from the top of their mast and can increase in height with the project. Top slewing cranes are transported in separate pieces and assembled at the construction site in one to three days depending on the height. We offer 37 models of top slewing tower cranes with maximum jib lengths of 85 meters and lifting capabilities ranging between 40 and 3,600 meter-tons. These cranes are generally sold to medium to large building and construction groups, as well as rental companies.

Topless tower cranes are a type of top slewing crane and, unlike all others, have no cathead or jib tie-bars on the top of the mast. The cranes are utilized primarily when overhead height is constrained or in situations where several cranes are installed close together. We currently offer 7 models of topless tower cranes with maximum jib lengths of 75 meters and lifting capabilities ranging between 90 and 300 meter-tons.

Luffing jib tower cranes, which are a type of top slewing crane, have an angled rather than horizontal jib. Unlike other tower cranes which have a trolley that controls the lateral movement of the load, luffing jib cranes move their load by changing the angle of the jib. The cranes are utilized primarily in urban areas where space is constrained or in situations where several cranes are installed close together. We currently offer 7 models of luffing jib tower cranes with maximum jib lengths of 60 meters and lifting capabilities ranging between 90 and 600 meter-tons.

Self-erecting tower cranes are mounted on axles or transported on a low-loader trailer. One line of tower cranes is marked under the name Igo. The lower segment of the range (Igo cranes up to Igo36) unfolds in four sections, two for the tower and two for the jib. The smallest of our models unfolds in less than 8 minutes; larger models erect in a few hours. Self erecting cranes rotate from the bottom of their mast. We offer 25 models of self erecting cranes with maximum jib lengths of 50 meters and lifting capacities ranging between 10 and 120 meter-tons which are utilized primarily in low to medium rise construction and residential applications.

Mobile Telescopic Cranes. Under the Grove brand name we design and manufacture 35 models of mobile telescopic cranes utilized primarily in industrial, commercial and construction applications, as well as in maintenance applications to lift and move material at job sites. Mobile telescopic cranes consist of a telescopic boom mounted on a wheeled carrier. Mobile telescopic cranes are similar to lattice-boom cranes in that they are designed to lift heavy loads using a mobile carrier as a platform, enabling the crane to move on and around a job site without typically having to re-erect the crane for each particular job. Additionally, many mobile telescopic cranes have the ability to drive between sites, and some are permitted on public roadways. We currently offer the following four types of mobile telescopic cranes capable of reaching tip heights of 427 feet with lifting capacities up to 550 tons: (i) rough-terrain, (ii) all-terrain, (iii) truck-mounted, and (iv) industrial.

Rough-terrain cranes are designed to lift materials and equipment on rough or uneven terrain. These cranes cannot be driven on public roadways, and, accordingly, must be transported by truck to a work site. We produce, under the Grove brand name, 10 models of rough-terrain cranes capable of tip heights of up to 279 feet and maximum load capacities of up to 130 U.S. tons.

All-terrain cranes are versatile cranes designed to lift materials and equipment on rough or uneven terrain and yet are highly maneuverable and capable of highway speeds. We

produce, under the Grove brand name, 14 models of all-terrain cranes capable of tip heights of up to 427 feet and maximum load capacities of up to 550 tons.

Truck-mounted cranes are designed to provide simple set-up and long reach high capacity booms and are capable of traveling from site to site at highway speeds. These cranes are suitable for urban and suburban uses. We produce, under the Grove brand name, 4 models of truck-mounted cranes capable of tip heights of up to 237 feet and maximum load capacities of up to 90 U.S. tons.

Industrial cranes are designed primarily for plant maintenance, storage yard and material handling jobs. We distribute, under the Grove brand name, 8 models of industrial cranes capable of tip heights of up to 92 feet and maximum load capacities of up to 22 tons. On January 3, 2007 we acquired from our private label manufacturer all the rights to manufacture the industrial cranes.

Boom Trucks. We offer our hydraulic and articulated boom truck products under the National Crane product line. A boom truck is a hydraulically powered telescopic crane or articulated crane mounted on a truck chassis. Telescopic boom trucks are used primarily for lifting material on a job site, while articulated boom trucks are utilized primarily to load and unload truck beds at a job site. We currently offer, under the National Crane brand name, 15 models of telescoping and 8 models of articulating cranes capable of reaching maximum heights of 176 feet and lifting capacity up to 40 U.S. tons.

Backlog. The year-end backlog of crane products includes accepted orders that have been placed on a production schedule that we expect to be shipped and billed during the next year. Manitowoc’s backlog of unfilled orders for the Crane segment at December 31, 2006 was $1,534.3 million, as compared with $866.1 million at December 31, 2005.

Foodservice Equipment Our Foodservice segment designs, manufactures and markets commercial ice-cube and flaker machines and storage bins; walk-in refrigerators and freezers; reach-in refrigerators and freezers; refrigerated undercounter and food preparation tables; ice/beverage dispensers; post-mix beverage dispensing valves; cast aluminum cold plates; carbonator tanks; long-draw beer dispensing systems; compressor racks and modular refrigeration systems; pumps; valves; and backroom beverage equipment distribution services. Products are sold under the brand names Manitowoc, SerVend, Multiplex, Kolpak, Harford-Duracool, McCall, McCann’s, Koolaire, Flomatic, Kyees, RDI, and other brand names.

Ice-Cube Machines, Ice Flaker Machines and Storage Bins. Ice machines are classified as either self-contained or modular machines and can be further classified by size, capacity and the type of ice they produce. There are two basic types of ice made by ice machines: cubes and flakes. Machines that make ice cubes, the most popular type of machine, are used by the foodservice industry for drinks, ice displays and salad bars. Flake ice is used to a great extent in processing applications, such as keeping meats and seafood fresh, as well as in medical facilities for use in ice packs.

Our subsidiary Manitowoc Ice, Inc. manufactures 26 models of commercial ice machines under the Manitowoc and Snoball brand names, serving the foodservice, convenience store, healthcare, restaurant and lodging markets. Our ice machines make ice in cube and flake form, and range in daily production capacities from 45 to 2,150 pounds. The ice-cube machines are either self-contained units, which make and store ice, or modular units, which make, but do not store ice. We offer the world’s only commercial ice making machines with patented cleaning and sanitizing technology. This feature eliminates the downtime and labor costs associated with periodic cleaning of the water distribution system. Majority of the units feature patented technology with environmentally friendly hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants. We also manufacture the patented QuietQube ice-cube machines, which feature CVD, or cool vapor defrost, technology, operate heat-free, are 75% quieter than non-CVD units and produce more ice in a smaller footprint. These QuietQube machines are ideally suited for use in new restaurants, which often feature more open designs, and for use with the self-service beverage systems increasingly found in quick service restaurants and convenience stores. Our ice machines are sold throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Walk-in Refrigerators and Freezers. We manufacture under the brand names Kolpak and Harford-Duracool. Products include modular and fully assembled walk-in refrigerators, coolers and freezers for restaurants, institutions, commissaries and convenience stores. Walk-in refrigerators and freezers are large, insulated storage spaces fitted with refrigeration systems. Most walk-ins are custom-made from modular insulated panels constructed with steel or aluminum exteriors and foamed-in-place urethane insulation. Refrigerator/blower units are installed in order to maintain an even temperature throughout the refrigerated space. Walk-ins come in many models with various types of doors, interior shelving, and viewing windows. We also produce a complete line of express or pre-assembled walk-ins.

Reach-in Refrigerators and Freezers. Reach-in refrigerators and freezers are typically constructed from stainless steel and have a thick layer of insulation in the walls, doors and floor. The cabinets have one to three doors, made of either glass or steel, and come in a variety of sizes with storage capabilities up to 72 cubic feet. Although reach-ins resembles household refrigerators, commercial versions utilize few plastic parts, incorporate larger compressor units and do not usually combine refrigerator and freezer compartments in the same unit. These design features stem from the heavy duty usage needs of most reach-ins by customers. For example, in contrast to the typical household refrigerator, commercial reach-ins may be opened and closed hundreds of times per day, placing mechanical strain on the structure and greatly increasing the cooling load on

the refrigeration system. We market these products under our McCall, Kolpak, and Koolaire brand names. We offer over 60 self-contained upright and under-counter refrigeration equipment units, including a full line of reach-ins and refrigerated food preparation equipment for restaurants, institutions and commissaries. We also manufacture custom-built units for select national chains restaurants.

Beverage Dispensers and Other Products. Our subsidiary Manitowoc Beverage Equipment, Inc. produces, beverage dispensers, ice/beverage dispensers, post-mix dispensing valves and cast aluminum cold plates and related equipment for use by quick service restaurants, convenience stores, bottling operations, movie theaters, and the soft-drink industry. Ice/beverage dispensers include traditional combination ice/beverage dispensers, drop-in dispensers and electric countertop units. Dispensing systems are manufactured for the dispensing of soda, juice, water, beer and other specialty drinks. Soda systems include remote systems that produce cold carbonated water and chill incoming water and syrup prior to delivery to dispensing towers.

Beer systems offer technically advanced remote beer delivery systems which are superior by design, allow increased yields, provide better under-bar space utilization and allow multiple stations to operate from one central unit.

Our subsidiary Manitowoc Beverage Systems, Inc., or MBS, is a systems integrator with nationwide distribution of beverage dispensing and backroom equipment and support system components. MBS serves the needs of major beverage and bottler customers, restaurants, convenience stores and other outlets and provides our customers with one point of contact for their beverage dispenser and backroom equipment needs. It operates throughout the United States, with locations in Ohio, California, and Virginia.

On May 26, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the net assets and business operated by McCann’s. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and with a manufacturing location in Tijuana, Mexico, McCann’s is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of beverage dispensing equipment primarily used in fast food restaurants, stadiums, cafeterias and convenience stores. McCann’s primary products are backroom beverage equipment such as carbonators, water boosters and racks. McCann’s also produces accessory components for beverage dispensers including specialty valves, stands and other stainless steel components.

Backlog. The backlog for unfilled orders for our Foodservice segment at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was not significant because orders are generally filled within 24 to 48 hours.

Marine We operate three shipyards located in Marinette, Wisconsin; Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin; and Cleveland, Ohio.

Marinette, Wisconsin. Marinette Marine Corporation (Marinette) was founded along the Menominee River in Marinette, Wisconsin in 1942 to meet America’s growing need for naval construction. Since its first contract to build five wooden barges, Marinette has built more than 1,300 vessels. Marinette is a full service shipyard with in-house capabilities to design and construct the most complex military and commercial vessels. The Marinette facility has 300,000 square feet of heated indoor production area, 53,000 square feet of secure indoor warehouse and receiving area, a 4,500 long ton certified ship launch ways and a 1,600 ton ship transport system. These features of the Marinette facility allow the vessels to be constructed and outfitted completely indoors. When ready for launching, they are moved outdoors. Typically, vessels are significantly material and labor complete when launched which allows for high quality of finished product and greater manufacturing efficiency.

Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, Bay Shipbuilding Co. (Sturgeon Bay) is an industry leader in the construction of Oil Pollution Act (OPA) ‘90 double-hulled tank vessels, articulated tug and barge (AT/B) units, dredges, and dredging support equipment, along with bulk cargo self unloading solutions. This shipyard specializes in large ship construction projects and repair work. Our Sturgeon Bay shipyard consists of approximately 55 acres of waterfront property, approximately 295,000 square feet of enclosed manufacturing and office space, a 140-foot by 1,158-foot graving dock, a 250-foot graving dock, and a 600-foot, 7,000-ton, floating dry dock.

Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland Shiprepair Company specializes in all types of voyage and topside marine repair.

Backlog The year-end backlog for our Marine segment includes new project work to be completed over a series of years and repair and maintenance work presently scheduled which will be completed in the next year. At December 31, 2006, the backlog for our Marine segment approximated $422 million, compared to $152 million one year ago. The backlog is primarily made up of new vessel construction projects and does not include options for additional vessels, yet to be awarded.

Raw Materials and Supplies The primary raw materials that we use are structural and rolled steel, aluminum, and copper, which is purchased from various domestic and international sources. We also purchase engines and electrical equipment and other semi- and fully-processed materials. Our policy is to maintain, wherever possible, alternate sources of supply for our important materials and parts. We maintain inventories of steel and other purchased material. We have been successful in our goal to maintain alternative sources of raw materials and supplies, and therefore are not dependent on a single source for any particular raw material or supply.

Patents, Trademarks, and Licenses We hold numerous patents pertaining to our crane and foodservice products, and have presently pending applications for additional patents in the United States and foreign countries. In addition, we have various registered and

unregistered trademarks and licenses that are of material importance to our business and believe our ownership of this intellectual property is adequately protected in customary fashions under applicable law. No single patent, trademark or license is critical to our overall business.

Seasonality Typically, the second and third quarters represent our best quarters for our consolidated financial results. In our Crane segment, summer represents the main construction season. Customers require new machines, parts, and service during that season. Since the summer brings warmer weather, there is also an increase in the use and replacement of ice machines, as well as new construction and remodeling within the foodservice industry. As a result, distributors build inventories during the second quarter for the increased demand. More recently, due to the strengthening end markets for our Crane segment, the traditional seasonality has been slightly muted due to strong cyclical demand, as well as more diversified product and geographic end markets. In our Marine segment, the Great Lakes shipping industry’s sailing season is normally April through December. Thus, barring any emergency grounding, the majority of repair and maintenance work is performed during the winter months and the work is typically completed during the first and second quarter of the year. As a result our overall increase in new construction project work in our Marine segment, the seasonality of our traditional repair and maintenance work is less extreme as new construction projects are performed throughout the year.

Competition We sell all of our products in highly competitive industries. We compete in each of our industries based on product design, quality of products and aftermarket support services, product performance, maintenance costs, and price. Our competitors may have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing or distribution resources than we do. We believe that we benefit from the following competitive advantages: a strong brand name, a reputation for quality products and aftermarket support services, an established network of global distributors, broad product line offerings in the markets we serve, and a commitment to engineering design and product innovation. However, we cannot be certain that our products and services will continue to compete successfully with our competitors or that we will be able to retain our customer base or improve or maintain our profit margins on sales to our customers. The following table sets forth our primary competitors in each of our business segments:

Engineering, Research and Development Our extensive engineering, research and development capabilities have been key drivers of our success. We engage in research and development activities at all of our significant manufacturing facilities. We have a staff of engineers and technicians on three continents that are responsible for improving existing products and developing new products. We incurred research and development expenditures of $31.2 million in 2006, $26.0 million in 2005 and $21.4 million in 2004.

Our team of engineers focuses on developing innovative, high performance, low maintenance products that are intended to create significant brand loyalty among customers. Design engineers work closely with our manufacturing and marketing staff, enabling us to identify quickly changing end-user requirements, implement new technologies and effectively introduce product innovations. Close, carefully managed relationships with dealers, distributors and end users help us identify their needs, not only for products, but for the service and support that is

critical to their profitable operations. As part of our ongoing commitment to provide superior products, we intend to continue our efforts to design products that meet evolving customer demands and reduce the period from product conception to product introduction.

Employee Relations We employ approximately 9,500 persons and have labor agreements with 12 union locals in North America. In addition, a large majority of our European employees belong to European trade unions. There were no work stoppages during 2006, 2005 or 2004, however, the following work stoppages occurred during 2003 and 2002:

• At our Manitowoc Crane Facility for 4 days during November of 2003 by the Local International Association of Machinists. • At our Marinette Marine facility for 44 days beginning January 21, 2003, by the local boilermakers union. • At our Bay Shipbuilding facility for 5 days during February of 2002 by the local boilermakers, electrical workers, pipefitters, and carpenters unions.

In 2007, one collective bargaining contract expires at Marinette Marine Corporation. We believe that we have satisfactory relations with our union and, therefore, anticipate reaching a new agreement on satisfactory terms when the existing agreement expires.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following are risk factors identified by management that if any events contemplated by the following risks actually occur, then our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Some of our business segments are cyclical or are otherwise sensitive to volatile or variable factors. A downturn or weakness in overall economic activity or fluctuations in those other factors can have a material adverse effect on us. Historically, sales of products that we manufacture and sell have been subject to cyclical variations caused by changes in general economic conditions and other factors. In particular, the demand for our crane products is cyclical and is impacted by the strength of the economy generally, interest rates and other factors that may have an effect on the level of construction activity on an international, national or regional basis. During periods of expansion in construction activity, we generally have benefited from increased demand for our products. Conversely, during recessionary periods, we have been adversely affected by reduced demand for our products. In addition, the strength of the economy generally may affect the rates of expansion, consolidation, renovation and equipment replacement within the restaurant, lodging, convenience store and healthcare industries, which may affect the performance of our Foodservice segment. Furthermore, an economic recession may impact leveraged companies, as Manitowoc has been at times, more than competing companies with less leverage and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Products in our Crane and Marine segments depend in part on federal, state, local and foreign governmental spending and appropriations, including infrastructure, security and defense outlays. Reductions in governmental spending can affect demand for our products, which in turn can affect our performance.

Weather conditions can substantially affect our Foodservice segment, as relatively cool summer weather and cooler-than-normal weather in hot climates tend to decrease sales of ice and beverage dispensers. In addition, weather conditions can affect our Marine segment. A mild winter can keep the fleet sailing longer through the winter repair season thus deferring repair activity for Marine.

Our sales depend in part upon our customers’ replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions may cause customers to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery.

A substantial portion of our growth has come through acquisitions. We may not be able to identify or complete future acquisitions, which could adversely affect our future growth. Our growth strategy historically has been based in part upon acquisitions. Our successful growth through acquisitions depends upon our ability to identify and successfully negotiate suitable acquisitions, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms or otherwise complete acquisitions in the future. In addition, our level of indebtedness may increase in the future if we finance other acquisitions with debt. This would cause us to incur additional interest expense and could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and limit our ability to service our debt or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure that future acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our future success depends on our ability to effectively integrate acquired companies and manage growth. Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management and operational and financial resources. We have made three significant acquisitions since November 2000. Future acquisitions will require integration of the acquired companies’ sales and marketing, distribution, manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, finance and administrative organizations. Experience has taught us that the successful integration of acquired businesses requires substantial attention from our senior management and the management of the acquired companies, which tends to reduce the time that they have to manage the ongoing business. While we believe we have successfully integrated our acquisitions to date, we cannot assure you that we will be able to integrate any future acquisitions successfully, that these acquired companies will operate profitably or that the intended beneficial effect from these acquisitions will be realized. Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected if we do not successfully integrate any future companies that we may acquire or if we do not manage our growth effectively.

Because we participate in industries that are intensely competitive, our net sales and profits could decline as we respond to competition. We sell most of our products in highly competitive industries. We compete in each of those industries based on product design, quality of products, quality and responsiveness of product support services, product performance, maintenance costs and price. Some of our competitors may have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing and distribution resources than we do. We cannot be certain that our products and services will continue to compete successfully with those of our competitors or that we will be able to retain our customer base or improve or maintain our profit margins on sales to our customers, all of which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If we fail to develop new and innovative products or if customers in our markets do not accept them, our results would be negatively affected. Our products, especially those in the Crane and Foodservice segments, must be kept current to meet our customers’ needs. To remain competitive, we therefore must develop new and innovative products on an on-going basis. If we fail to make innovations, or the market does not accept our new products, our sales and results would suffer.

We invest significantly in the research and development of new products. These expenditures do not always result in products that will be accepted by the market. To the extent they do not, whether as a function of the product or the business cycle, we will have increased expenses without significant sales to benefit us. Failure to develop successful new products may also cause potential customers to choose to purchase used cranes or other equipment, or competitors’ products, rather than invest in new products manufactured by us. In our Marine segment, we must sometimes perform engineering services either at no cost or for limited margins, or build prototypes for little or no margin, in competing for contracts without any assurance that we will be awarded a contract for production models which would allow us to achieve an appropriate return on our investment.

Price increases in some materials and sources of supply could affect our profitability. We use large amounts of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and electronic controls among other items in the manufacture of our products. Recently, market prices of some of our key raw materials have increased significantly. In particular, we have experienced significant increases in steel, aluminum, foam, and copper prices in recent periods, which have increased our expenses. If we are not able to reduce product cost in other areas or pass future raw material price increases on to our customers, our margins

could be adversely affected. In addition, because we maintain limited raw material and component inventories, even brief unanticipated delays in delivery by suppliers — including those due to capacity constraints, labor disputes, impaired financial condition of suppliers, weather emergencies or other natural disasters — may impair our ability to satisfy our customers and could adversely affect our financial performance.

We increasingly manufacture and sell our products outside of the United States, which may present additional risks to our business. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, approximately 47.7%, 47.8% and 46.8%, respectively, of our net sales were attributable to products sold outside of the United States. Expanding international sales is part of our growth strategy. We have several manufacturing facilities located in Europe and Asia and during 2005 constructed two new facilities in Asia. International operations generally are subject to various risks, including political, military, religious and economic instability, local labor market conditions, the imposition of foreign tariffs, the impact of foreign government regulations, the effects of income and withholding tax, governmental expropriation, and differences in business practices. We may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with international manufacturing and the transfer to the new facilities and sales that could cause loss of revenue. Unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory and business climate and currency devaluations of various foreign jurisdictions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We depend on our key personnel and the loss of these personnel could have an adverse affect on our business. Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our key executives, managers and skilled personnel. Generally, these employees are not bound by employment or non-competition agreements, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key officers and employees. We could be seriously harmed by the loss of key personnel if it were to occur in the future.

Our operations and profitability could suffer if we experience labor relations problems. We employ approximately 9,500 people and have labor agreements with 12 union locals in North America. In addition, a large majority of our European employees belong to European trade unions. These collective bargaining or similar agreements expire at various times in each of the next several years. We believe that we have satisfactory relations with our unions and, therefore, anticipate reaching new agreements on satisfactory terms as the existing agreements expire. However, we may not be able to reach new agreements without a work stoppage or strike and any new agreements that are reached may not be reached on terms satisfactory to us. A prolonged work stoppage or strike at any one of our manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights or maintain our rights to use licensed intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected. Our patents, trademarks and licenses are important in the operation of our businesses. Although we intend to protect our intellectual property rights vigorously, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in doing so. Third parties may assert or prosecute infringement claims against us in connection with the services and products that we offer, and we may or may not be able to successfully defend these claims. Litigation, either to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others, could result in substantial costs and in a diversion of our resources. In addition, if a third party would prevail in an infringement claim against us, then we would likely need to obtain a license from the third party on commercial terms, which would likely increase our costs. Our failure to maintain or obtain necessary licenses or an adverse outcome in any litigation relating to patent infringement or other intellectual property matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by product liability lawsuits. Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture, sales and use of our products, especially our crane products. Certain of our businesses also have experienced claims relating to past asbestos exposure. Neither we nor our affiliates have to date incurred material costs related to these asbestos claims. We vigorously defend ourselves, however, a substantial increase in the number of claims that are made against us or the amounts of any judgments or settlements could, however, materially and adversely affect our reputation and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Some of our products are built under fixed-price agreements; cost overruns therefore can hurt our results. Some of our work, particularly in the Marine segment, is done under agreements on a fixed-price basis. If we do not accurately estimate our costs, we may incur a loss under these contracts. Even if the agreements have provisions which allow reimbursement for cost overruns, we may not be able to recoup excess expenses.

Strategic divestitures could negatively affect our results. We regularly review our business units and evaluate them against our core business strategies. As part of that process, we regularly consider the divestiture of non-core and non-strategic operations or facilities. Depending upon the circumstances and terms, the divestiture of a profitable operation or facility could negatively affect our earnings.

Page 12: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

Environmental liabilities that may arise in the future could be material to us. Our operations, facilities and properties are subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations pertaining to air emissions, wastewater discharges, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and wastes, the remediation of contamination, and otherwise relating to health, safety and the protection of the environment. As a result, we are involved from time to time in administrative or legal proceedings relating to environmental and health and safety matters, and have in the past and will continue to incur capital costs and other expenditures relating to such matters.

Based on current information, we believe that any costs we may incur relating to environmental matters will not be material, although we can give no assurances. We also cannot be certain that identification of presently unidentified environmental conditions, more vigorous enforcement by regulatory authorities, or other unanticipated events will not arise in the future and give rise to additional environmental liabilities, compliance costs or penalties which could be material. Further, environmental laws and regulations are constantly evolving and it is impossible to predict accurately the effect they may have upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are exposed to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. Some of our operations are or will be conducted by subsidiaries in foreign countries. The results of the operations and the financial position of these subsidiaries will be reported in the relevant foreign currencies and then translated into US dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements, which are stated in US dollars. The exchange rates between many of these currencies and the US dollar have fluctuated significantly in recent years and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Such fluctuations may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position and may significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods.

In addition, we incur currency transaction risk whenever one of our operating subsidiaries enters into a transaction using a different currency than its functional currency. We attempt to reduce currency transaction risk whenever one of our operating subsidiaries enters into a transaction using a different currency than its functional currency by:

• matching cash flows and payments in the same currency; • direct foreign currency borrowing; and • entering into foreign exchange contracts for hedging purposes.

However, we may not be able to hedge this risk completely or at an acceptable cost, which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods.

Increased or unexpected product warranty claims could adversely affect us. We provide our customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products we manufacture. Our warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months. If a product fails to comply with the warranty, we may be obligated, at our expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing the defective product. Although we maintain warranty reserves in an amount based primarily on the number of units shipped and on historical and anticipated warranty claims, there can be no assurance that future warranty claims will follow historical patterns or that we can accurately anticipate the level of future warranty claims. An increase in the rate of warranty claims or the occurrence of unexpected warranty claims could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Some of our customers rely on financing with third parties to purchase our products, and we may incur expenses associated with our assistance to customers in securing third party financing. We rely principally on sales of our products to generate cash from operations. A portion of our sales is financed by third-party finance companies on behalf of our customers. The availability of financing by third parties is affected by general economic conditions, the credit worthiness of our customers and the estimated residual value of our equipment. In certain transactions we provide residual value guarantees and buyback commitments to our customers or the third party financial institutions. Deterioration in the credit quality of our customers could negatively impact their ability to obtain the resources needed to make purchases of our equipment or their ability to obtain third-party financing. In addition, if the actual value of the equipment for which we have provided a residual value guaranty declines below the amount of our guaranty, we may incur additional costs, which may negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our leverage may impair our operations and financial condition. As of December 31, 2006, our total consolidated debt was $268.4 million. Although this level is significantly down from previous peaks, our debt could have important consequences, including increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations be used for the payment of interest rather than to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate requirements; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing; and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate.

The agreements governing our debt include covenants that restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional debt; pay dividends on or repurchase our equity;

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. — 2006 Form 10-K 11

Page 13: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

make investments; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, our senior credit facility requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. These covenants may also require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our business objectives. We cannot be certain that we will meet any future financial tests or that the lenders will waive any failure to meet those tests.

If we default under our debt agreements, our lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our debt agreements to be immediately due and payable and could proceed against any collateral securing the debt. Under those circumstances, in the absence of readily-available refinancing on favorable terms, we might elect or be compelled to enter bankruptcy proceedings, in which case our shareholders could lose the entire value of their investment in our common stock.

The company is in the process of implementing a global ERP system in its Foodservice segment. The company is in the process of implementing a new global ERP system in its Foodservice segment. This system will replace many of the company’s existing operating and financial systems. Such an implementation is a major undertaking both financially and from a management and personnel perspective. Should the system not be implemented successfully and within budget or if the system does not perform in a satisfactory manner, it could be disruptive and or adversely affect the operations and results of operations of the company, including the ability of the company to report accurate and timely financial results.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our global operations are governed by laws addressing the protection of the environment and employee safety and health. Under various circumstances, these laws impose civil and criminal penalties and fines, as well as injunctive and remedial relief, for noncompliance. They also may require remediation at sites where company related substances have been released into the environment.

We have expended substantial resources globally, both financial and managerial, to comply with the applicable laws and regulations, and to protect the environment and our workers. We believe we are in substantial compliance with such laws and regulations and we maintain procedures designed to foster and ensure compliance. However, we have been and may in the future be subject to formal or informal enforcement actions or proceedings regarding noncompliance with such laws or regulations, whether or not determined to be ultimately responsible in the normal course of business. Historically, these actions have been resolved in various ways with the regulatory authorities without material commitments or penalties to the company.

For information concerning other contingencies and uncertainties, see Note 15, “Contingencies and Significant Estimates” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND R ELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MTW. At December 31, 2006, the approximate number of record shareholders of common stock was 2,531. The amount and timing of the annual dividend is determined by the board of directors at regular times each year. In December 2004 the company paid a cash dividend to share holders totaling $0.14 per share of common stock. At its February 2005 meeting, the board of directors approved the return to a quarterly dividend payment beginning with the first quarter of 2005. Quarterly dividends in the amount of $0.035 per share were paid in March, June, September and December of 2006 and 2005.

On February 24, 2006, the board of directors authorized a two-for-one stock split of the company’s common stock. Record holders of Manitowoc’s common stock at the close of business on March 31, 2006, received on April 10, 2006 one additional share of common stock for every share of Manitowoc common stock they owned.

Under our current bank credit agreement, we are limited on the amount of dividends we may payout in any one year. The amount of dividend payments is

restricted based on our consolidated senior leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. If the consolidated senior leverage ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00, dividend payments cannot exceed $50.0 million. If the consolidated senior leverage ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1.00, but less than 3.00 to 1.00, dividend payments cannot exceed $25.0 million.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FIN ANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (referred to as the company, MTW, we, our, and us) is a leading, diversified, multi-industry manufacturer of engineered capital goods and support services for selected market segments, which today include Cranes and Related Products (Crane), Foodservice Equipment (Foodservice), and Marine. The centerpiece of our effort is and will continue to be to provide customer-focused, quality products and services to the markets we serve, with the goal to continuously improve economic value for our shareholders.

The following discussion and analysis covers key drivers behind our results for 2004 through 2006 and is broken down into three major sections. First, we provide an overview of our results of operations for the years 2004 through 2006 on a consolidated basis and by business segment. Next we discuss our market conditions, liquidity and capital resources, off balance sheet arrangements, and obligations and commitments. Finally, we provide a discussion of risk management techniques, contingent liability issues, critical accounting policies, impacts of future accounting changes, and cautionary statements.

All dollar amounts, except per share amounts, are in millions of dollars throughout the tables included in this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations unless otherwise indicated.

Results of Consolidated Operations

During the third quarter of 2005, we decided to close Toledo Ship Repair Company (Toledo Ship Repair), a division of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Manitowoc Marine Group, LLC. Located in Toledo, Ohio, Toledo Ship Repair performed ship repair and industrial repair services. In addition, during the third quarter of 2005, we decided we would divest of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Diversified Refrigeration LLC (f/k/a Diversified Refrigeration, Inc.) (DRI). DRI was our private-label Foodservice contract manufacturing operation. On December 30, 2005, we completed the sale of DRI to Monogram Refrigeration, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Electric Company. During the second quarter of 2004, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Manlift SAS (Delta). We have reported the results of these operations as discontinued and have restated prior year amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” Prior year amounts throughout this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been restated to reflect the reporting of these operations as discontinued.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to 2005 Consolidated net sales increased 30.1% in 2006 to $2.9 billion from $2.3 billion in 2005. This increase was the result of higher year-over-year sales in all three of our business segments. Sales in our Crane, Foodservice and Marine segments increased 37.2%, 4.0% and 25.1%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Changes in currency exchange rates resulted in an increase in sales of $7.3 million or 0.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. Further analysis of the increases in sales by segment is presented in the Sales and Operating Earnings by Segment section below.

Gross profit increased significantly for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $647.3 million compared to $421.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 53.4%. Gross margin increased in 2006 to 22.1% from 18.7% in 2005. The increase in consolidated gross profit and margin was driven by significantly higher gross margin in the Crane segment due to increased volume and productivity gains. In addition, the Marine segment achieved gross profit of $36.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 versus $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was driven by profitability on new construction contracts and a strong repair year. Also, 2005 gross profit was adversely affected by a $10.2 million contract reserve recorded during the fourth quarter. For a more detailed discussion of this reserve, please see the Marine segment analysis below. The improved results in the Crane and Marine Segments were countered to a small extent by a decrease in the Foodservice segment’s gross profit from 30.7% in 2005 to 29.5% in 2006. This decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volumes in our Beverage division, higher material costs and costs related to the ERP implementation.

Engineering, selling and administrative (ES&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased approximately $59.3 million to $341.6 million compared to $282.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily driven by increases in the Crane and Marine segments and increased corporate expenses. Crane segment increases were due to higher selling expense, increased employee related costs, and increased research and development expenses. Marine segment increases were due to higher engineering costs, bidding costs related to potential new contracts and increased employee related costs. Corporate expenses increased primarily due to expensing of stock options, costs related to the company’s offer to acquire Enodis, PLC and employee related costs. ES&A expenses of the Foodservice segment increased slightly, primarily as a result of ES&A associated with the McCann’s Engineering & Mfg. Co. (McCann’s) operations acquisition in 2006.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $46.3 million compared to $53.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease resulted from the company’s redemption of the 10 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 during May of 2006. This decrease was slightly offset by an increase in the interest rate of our variable interest rate outstanding debt balances.

During May 2006, we redeemed our 10 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we paid the note holders 105.188 percent of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. As a result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of $14.4 million ($9.4 million, net of income taxes) related to the call premium ($11.2 million), write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs ($3.1 million) and other expenses ($0.1 million). The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 32.0% compared to 20.0% for the year ended December 31, 2005. Both periods were favorably affected, as compared to the statutory rate, by certain global tax planning initiatives. The lower effective tax rate in 2005 was the result of lower earnings, a research and development tax credit, and the realization of certain tax benefits that were previously reserved against due to their uncertainty.

The loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflects the operating results of our discontinued Toledo Ship Repair operation. The closure of Toledo Ship Repair was completed during the first quarter of 2006 and no further operating results were realized from this operation.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to 2004 Consolidated net sales increased 22.2% in 2005 to $2.3 billion from $1.8 billion in 2004. All three of our business segments reported increased sales in 2005 compared to 2004. Sales in our Crane, Foodservice, and Marine segments increased 30.5%, 5.9% and 3.0%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Changes in currency exchange rates resulted in an increase in sales of less than one percent for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. Further analysis of the increases in sales by segment is presented in the Sales and Operating Earnings by Segment section of this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below.

Gross margin decreased in 2005 to 18.7% from 20.4% in 2004. Gross margin was negatively affected by a $10.2 million reserve recorded in the Marine segment during the fourth quarter of 2005. For a more detailed discussion of this reserve, please see the Marine segment analysis below. Consolidated gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $421.9 million, an increase of 12.3% over the consolidated gross profit for the same period in 2004 of $375.7 million. In addition to the impact of the Marine segment reserve, comparative consolidated gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was affected by the following items: (i) increased volumes in the Crane and Foodservice segments; (ii) favorable product mix and cost reductions implemented in recent years in the Crane and Foodservice segments; and (iii) production inefficiencies in

the Marine segment experienced during the completion of three specific new construction contracts during 2005. In addition, a significant amount of revenue in the Marine segment for the third and fourth quarters of 2005 was from a first-run prototype military vessel that is structured as a low margin cost plus contract.

ES&A increased to $282.3 million in 2005 compared to $266.4 million in 2004, which is a $15.9 million increase. As a percentage of sales, ES&A declined to 12.5% in 2005, compared to 14.4% in 2004. Approximately $0.4 million of this increase is the result of the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro during 2005 as compared to 2004. The remaining increase in ES&A in 2005 compared to 2004 is a result of the following: (i) increase in research and development costs in the Crane and Foodservice segments for product development; (ii) increases in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) costs and costs related to the creation of a domestic shared service function within the Foodservice segment; and (iii) higher employee benefit costs in 2005 across all three segments and at the corporate office.

During the third quarter of 2005, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge within the Foodservice segment of $3.2 million in connection with the consolidation of our Kolpak operation located in Wisconsin with our Kolpak operation located in Tennessee. This action was taken in an effort to streamline our cost structure and utilize available capacity. This charge included $1.5 million to write-down the Wisconsin facility and land, which are held for sale, to estimated fair market value less cost to sell; $0.7 million related to the write-down of certain equipment to its estimated fair market value; $0.1 million to write-off excess inventory which was not transferred to Tennessee; $0.5 million related to severance and other employee related costs; and $0.5 million for other related closing costs. This charge has been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 decreased $2.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is the result of lower average debt levels and a lower Euro versus U.S. Dollar exchange rate in 2005, partially offset by an increase during 2005 in the variable interest rate portion of outstanding debt balances.

During June 2005, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million ($0.6 million net of income taxes) to write-off deferred financing costs related to the termination of our previous $125 million revolving credit facility. In addition, on January 10, 2005, we redeemed $61.3 million of our 10½% senior subordinated notes due 2012. As a result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of approximately $8.3 million ($5.4 million net of income taxes). This charge related to the prepayment premium of $6.4 million paid to the note holders and the partial write-off of debt issuance costs of $1.9 million. Both of these charges were recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the effective tax rate from continuing operations was 20.0% compared to 19.0% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The tax rate for 2005 was favorably affected compared to the statutory rate by a research and development credit recorded during the second half of 2005 and certain global tax planning initiatives.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, earnings from discontinued operations represented the operating losses of Toledo Ship Repair and the operating earnings of DRI. The gain on sale or closure of discontinued operations represented a $17.6 million pre-tax ($9.6 million after tax) gain on the sale of DRI and a $5.2 million pre-tax loss ($3.8 million after tax) loss on the closure of Toledo Ship Repair.

Sales and Operating Earnings by Segment Operating earnings reported below by segment include the impact of reductions due to restructurings and plant consolidation costs, whereas these expenses were separately identified in the Results of Consolidated Operations table above.

Cranes and Related Products

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to 2005 Net sales from the Crane segment for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 37.3% to $2.2 billion compared to $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased over the prior year in all of the Crane segments major geographic regions. The Crane segment continues to benefit from strong crane end-market demand. From a product line standpoint, the sales increase was driven by increased volume of crawler, tower and mobile hydraulic cranes worldwide, increases in our aftermarket sales and service business, and increases in boom truck sales in North America. As of December 31, 2006, total Crane segment backlog was $1.5 billion, a 77% increase over the December 31, 2005 backlog of $866.1 million, and a 10.4% increase over the September 30, 2006 backlog of $1.4 billion.

December 31, 2005. Operating earnings of the Crane segment were favorably affected by increased volume across all regions and products, productivity gains as a result of consolidation efforts over the past several years, product mix, and effective leveraging of engineering, selling and administrative expenses on higher sales volume. Operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 12.6% compared to 7.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005. Strong factory performance, leveraging of fixed costs, and favorable pricing levels in all our regions contributed to the margin improvement.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to 2004 Net sales from the Crane segment for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased 30.5% to $1.6 billion compared to $1.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase occurred in all major geographic regions as well as in the segment’s aftermarket sales and service business. From a product line standpoint this sales increase was driven by increased volumes of tower and mobile hydraulic cranes worldwide, increased sales in the segment’s aftermarket sales and service business, increased crawler crane sales in Europe and Asia, and increased boom truck sales in North America. The stronger average Euro currency over the U.S. Dollar in 2005 compared to 2004 had a less than one percent favorable impact on sales. As of December 31, 2005, total Crane segment backlog was $866.1 million, a 154.7% increase over the December 31, 2004 backlog of $340.0 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Crane segment reported operating earnings of $115.5 million compared to $57.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Crane segment operating earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004 was affected by a charge of $0.8 million related to restructuring activities. The restructuring charge related to costs incurred during the second and third quarter of 2004 for the consolidation of certain of our European crane facilities. This charge has been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. Operating earnings of the Crane segment for the year ended December 31, 2005 were favorably affected by increased volume across all regions and products, productivity gains as a result of consolidation efforts during the past several years, and effective leveraging of engineering, selling and administrative expenses on higher sales volumes. For the year ended December 31, 2005, operating earnings were not significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchanges rates.

Foodservice Equipment Segment

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to 2005 Net sales from the Foodservice segment increased 4.0% to $415.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $399.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The sales increase during 2006 was driven by our ice and refrigeration divisions and the acquisition of McCann’s. The increases in our ice and refrigeration divisions were a result of both volume and pricing increases versus the prior year. Our beverage division benefited in 2006 from approximately $11.4 million in revenue from McCann’s which was acquired on May 26, 2006. The benefit of the McCann’s acquisition was offset by reduced sales in our historical beverage businesses. The decline in the historical business was primarily attributed to two major customer equipment refresh programs which benefited net sales in 2005 but did not recur in 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Foodservice segment reported operating earnings of $56.2 million compared to $54.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Results for the year ended December 31, 2005 was impacted by a $3.2 million restructuring charge in connection with the consolidation of the segment’s Kolpak operation located in Wisconsin into the segment’s Kolpak operation located in Tennessee. This action was taken in an effort to streamline our cost structure. The charge included $1.5 million to write-down the value of the facility and land, which are now held for sale, to the estimated fair market value less the cost to sell; $0.7 million related to the write-down of certain equipment; $0.1 million to write-off excess inventory which was not transferred to Tennessee; $0.5 million related to severance and other employee related costs; and $0.4 million for other related closing costs. Operating results for 2006 were adversely affected by approximately $2.8 million due to increased commodity costs, specifically copper and aluminum. The operating results of the Foodservice segment for the year ended December 31, 2006 were also adversely affected by lower sales in our beverage division. The McCann’s acquisition benefited 2006 operating earnings by approximately $1.4 million.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to 2004 Foodservice segment net sales increased 5.9% to $399.6 million in 2005 compared to $377.2 million in 2004. The increase was driven by higher sales in the ice and beverage divisions offset by slightly lower sales in the refrigeration division. The increase occurred in both unit volume and higher prices. The increase in pricing was in response to higher commodity costs experienced during 2005. The higher volumes in the ice and beverage divisions were driven by hotter-than-normal temperatures throughout much

of the United States during the summer of 2005. The decrease in sales of the refrigeration division reflects a slowing in the rate of new restaurant construction in the United States and the timing of larger equipment replacement projects.

Foodservice segment operating earnings of $54.9 million for 2005 were down $0.8 million from operating earnings of $55.7 million in 2004. The decrease in operating earnings in 2005 is the result of a $3.2 million restructuring charge for the consolidation of the Kolpak facility located in River Falls, Wisconsin with the Kolpak facility located in Parsons, Tennessee. On a comparative basis, restructuring costs included in operating earnings of the Foodservice segment for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $0.5 million. The 2004 restructuring charge relates to the closure of the European ice machine manufacturing business. Offsetting the 2005 restructuring charge were increases in operating earnings of both the ice and beverage divisions. Operating earnings for the year ended 2005 were positively impacted by increased sales volume. The increased pricing discussed above was entirely offset by increases in commodity costs and did not have a favorable impact on operating earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005. Operating earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005 were also negatively affected by the costs of the ongoing investment in a segment-wide ERP project within the Foodservice segment and the creation of the domestic Foodservice shared service function.

Marine Segment Prior year sales and operating earnings of the Marine segment have been restated for the discontinued operation of Toledo Ship Repair.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to 2005 Net sales from our Marine segment increased 25.1% to $282.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in sales was primarily the result of revenue generated from construction of the first option of the Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS), construction of several commercial articulated tug and barge combination projects and construction of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). Sales for 2006 also benefited from a very strong winter repair season.

For 2006, the Marine segment achieved operating earnings of $11.3 million compared to a loss of $9.2 million for 2005. The loss in 2005 was primarily the result of a $10.2 million reserve recorded during the fourth quarter of 2005. We have been in negotiations with one of our Marine segment customers to recover certain cost overruns that resulted primarily from specification inadequacies, change orders, cumulative disruption and constructive acceleration associated with a particular contract. During the third quarter of 2005, due to the fact that these negotiations were not successful within a timeframe satisfactory to us, we filed a lawsuit seeking recovery of these cost overruns from the customer. The customer filed a counter claim against us in the fourth quarter of 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we established a reserve of $10.2 million to reflect the inherent uncertainties in litigation of this type. The $10.2 million reserve is recorded in cost of sales of the Marine segment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. If we are successful in our recovery of costs as a result of this lawsuit or negotiations, the favorable impact on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in a future period could be material.

The 2006 operating results benefited from the completion of certain fixed price contracts in 2005, which were bid and awarded prior to the unprecedented rise in the costs of steel and other commodities during 2004. Labor inefficiencies also impacted these projects in prior years. The current Marine segments contracts have better protections against commodity cost increases. In addition, 2006 results were also favorably impacted by increased demand for certain commercial vessels with higher margins. For 2006, operating margins were adversely impacted by the fact that a significant percentage of the Marine segment results were from a relatively low margin LCS contract which is a first-run military prototype vessel that is structured as a cost plus contract.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to 2004 Marine segment net sales increased 3.0% to $225.8 million in 2005 compared to $219.2 million in 2004. The increase in sales was primarily driven by several new construction vessels, as well as revenue from the Navy prototype vessel. During 2005 we completed the third Staten Island Ferry for the City of New York, the initial production of the Navy’s INLS lighterage system, a Great Lakes ice breaker, and four double hull tank barges. Also contributing to the increase in revenue in 2005 was the 2005 winter repair season revenue, which increased by approximately $3.2 million compared to 2004.

For 2005, the Marine segment reported a loss from operations of approximately $9.2 million. This loss is primarily the result of a $10.2 million reserve recorded during the fourth quarter of 2005 in connection with the contract law suit mentioned above.

In addition to the $10.2 million reserve, 2005 operating results were negatively affected by cost increases in material and production inefficiencies experienced on

certain specific construction contracts. Labor inefficiencies were incurred due to delays and disruption caused by customer change orders and a larger mix of first-time or limited vessel construction projects. In addition, the large number of projects in process at the same time in our shipyards, a shortage of available specific skilled labor, and project rework requirements all resulted in greater than normal utilization of costlier subcontract labor on certain contracts. Finally, the majority of the Marine segment revenues during the second half of the year were from a relatively low margin first-run military prototype vessel that is structured as a cost plus contract.

At December 31, 2005, the Marine segment had a growing backlog of projects that matched the capabilities of our two shipyards and a build schedule that allowed for a more efficient use of our resources. In addition, all current contracts have terms that help shield Manitowoc from future commodity price escalation.

General Corporate Expenses

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to 2005 Corporate expenses increased $17.6 million to $42.4 million in 2006 compared to $24.8 million in 2005. Expensing of stock options, which began during the first quarter of 2006, increased corporate expenses by $5.7 million in 2006 compared to 2005. Also contributing to the increase in corporate expenses during 2006 was approximately $2.1 million of legal and accounting expenses related to the company’s unsuccessful efforts to acquire Enodis, PLC. Finally, corporate expenses during 2006 were impacted by higher employee related costs and other professional expenses.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to 2004 Corporate expenses increased $3.6 million to $24.8 million in 2005 compared to $21.2 million in 2004. This 16.7% increase was primarily the result of the following: (i) costs incurred in setting up the accounts receivable securitization facility; (ii) costs incurred in the pursuit of potential acquisition targets; (iii) increased employee related costs; and (iv) higher depreciation costs on technical infrastructure investments.

Market Conditions and Outlook During 2007, we will strive to protect our market shares, improve our cost structures, and continue to invest in new product development. With our increased global presence in our crane business and our continued focus to become more global in our Foodservice businesses, we are affected now more than ever by non-U.S. world economies. The economies of Europe and Asia, in particular, increasingly affect our performance.

We believe that our diversified business model, our increased global presence, our broad product offerings and our product line and geographic diversification within our segments proved beneficial to us in 2006 and will continue to provide stability to our company into the future.

Cranes and Related Products — The global Crane market continued to strengthen in 2006, which benefited most of our regional and product end-markets, including our rough terrain, all-terrain and crawler crane products. Price increases to recover material cost increases, improved manufacturing efficiency as a result of the higher crane volumes and other manufacturing cost reductions have contributed to the improved gross margins in the Crane segment. In 2007, we expect to see some additional escalation in material costs, which we anticipate will again offset across the industry with pricing actions and we will look to mitigate through other cost reduction efforts.

During 2006, we grew market share modestly within several product categories globally. We responded to significant increases in demand in Asia by opening a new crane manufacturing facility in China. The Crane segment continues to invest in all of its manufacturing facilities in an effort to increase production volumes to meet market demand. The improvement in overall market share is partially a reflection of continued significant investment in new products, which is reflected by the introduction of 15 new products in 2006. We will continue to invest in new products and product support in 2007.

Looking ahead, we expect volumes to increase significantly in North America in 2007 for all products due to continued growth in the cyclical crane industry, the impact of market share increases and overall market conditions. We believe the North American construction equipment market (as it relates to lifting equipment) is in a growth phase of the cycle, which can last several years in duration. Further, the domestic crawler market, which tends to lag the overall crane market, continues a strong recovery with additional growth expected . We expect Asia will continue to grow significantly, driven by the China expansion and general recovery of Asian economies. On the other hand, we expect to see commodity costs rise in 2007. We have developed strategies to help us adapt to these conditions. In this environment we plan to protect our market share by providing our customers with what we believe is the best value in the industry. We will work to grow our market share globally by leveraging the strength of our brand names, product service and support, and expanded product offerings.

In 2007, we plan to introduce 17 new crane models. We will continue to expand our global reach. One way to achieve this expansion is through the continued expansion and strategic positioning of our service and product support infrastructure in Asia. In addition, our global sales force is cross-selling our entire product lines. Our past acquisitions have given us a broad product offering and worldwide distribution and product support. We believe these factors along with new product introductions will help us continue to grow market share in 2007. We believe that our growth strategy is solid and supported by the diversification of our global manufacturing and distribution presence. We will continue to attack our markets geographically, rather than by product line.

Foodservice Equipment — The domestic foodservice industry got off to a strong start in 2006, stabilizing later in the year and resulting in a full year industry growth rate of 2½ to 3%. For 2006, the Foodservice segment introduced more than 25 new products for the fifth consecutive year. These new product introductions contributed to a continued market share gain in ice machines and steady sales in our other product categories.

Dramatically rising commodity costs combined with supply availability throughout 2006 presented challenges in maintaining profit margins. We reacted to these challenges by implementing selected price increases throughout our product lines, continuing to focus on cost reductions throughout our operations and by emphasizing the need of low cost country sourcing. We are doing this in conjunction with company-wide effort to coordinate and leverage the purchasing power of our three segments.

We expect that the same factors that drove our operating performance in 2006 will continue to drive our business in 2007. We expect that the market will grow in 2007 at a rate of approximately 2 to 2½% and we believe we are positioned to outperform the industry due to the wide range of new products that we introduced in the past 5 years and the new products scheduled for introduction.

We are also continuing to invest in foreign markets. Our new manufacturing and engineering center in Hangzhou, China is complete, and we are expanding our capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region. We continue to increase our production capacity in beverage equipment and ice machines, and we will expand manufacturing to other foodservice products for the Asia-Pacific region as the needs arise. This increased presence will leverage our brand strength in the fastest growing foodservice equipment market in the world.

Marine — The Marine segment benefited from the continued effects of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA ‘90) which mandated retirement of all petroleum-hauling single-hull vessels by 2015. In 2006, we delivered one articulating tug and double-hull barge unit (AT/B) and one double-hulled petroleum barge. Recent activity in response to the OPA ’90 mandates has caused a production bottlenecks in US shipyards, which emphasizes the current lack of new construction building capacity in U.S. shipyards. Our multi-year backlog at Bay Shipbuilding is evidence of the increase demand for OPA ‘90 compliant vessels. For 2007, we will be completing construction of one AT/B and one double-hull tank barge, and we will commence construction on three additional double-hull tank barge units of various sizes.

Government Programs are also a staple for Marine, as evidenced by the award of the US Coast Guard’s Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) program, and the US Navy’s award of Options 1 & 2 for the Improved Navy Lighterage System. Work began on both of these programs in 2006, and will continue through 2007 and beyond. We will also be delivering the first Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Freedom in 2007, which is being constructed at our Marinette Marine yard. Future new construction work is also a possibility as we anticipate submitting bid proposals to both the US Coast Guard and US Navy for upcoming programs in the months to follow.

Another arena that the Marine segment is exploring for future work is the reemerging activity for the US Oil Patch, Alaskan North Slope, and North Sea. The US Oil Patch has been looking for the replacement of older vessels operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), but does not reflect the recently awarded US GOM deepwater oil leases to major oil companies that will require new construction of large Platform Supply Vessels (PSV) and Anchor Handling Towing Supply (AHTS) Vessels to meet the new demand. With recently awarded new exploration and drilling contracts in the Alaskan North Slope, near-term demands exist for large Polar Ice-Breaking AHTS Vessels. Finally, with North Sea drilling and production in full swing, strong market demands for large quantities of AHTS Vessels and PSVs provide new construction opportunities for the Marine segment.

Great Lakes repair and refurbishment exceeded our expectations for 2006. Strong demand for our customers’ services filtered down to us to keep their vessels operating efficiently and effectively with minimal down-time. For 2006, we managed 17 major drydockings. Bay Shipbuilding also executed on a ship re-powering contract converting it from steam to heavy-fuel diesel, the first of its kind on the Great Lakes. Continued strong demand for tonnage in the Great Lakes for 2007 should also yield favorable results for the new year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow from operations during 2006 was $294.1 million compared to $106.7 million in 2005. We applied a portion of this cash flow to capital spending, dividends and payment of outstanding debt. We had $176.1 million in cash and cash equivalents on-hand at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $55.7 million versus 2005. This overall decrease in cash is primarily the result of significant debt payments and capital expenditures made during 2006. In addition, we had $278.9 million of unused availability under our secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) at December 31, 2006. The availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced for outstanding letters of credit of $21.1 million as of December 31, 2006.

Cash flow provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $294.4 million compared to $120.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Cash flow during 2006 was driven by $166.2 million of net earnings, an increase of $100.4 million over net earnings for 2005. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities positively impacted cash flow from operations with an increase of $211.0 million. The increase was driven primarily by increased payables related to the increase in inventory in the Crane segment required to support the increase in production, and by down payments received from customers on commercial ships ordered during the year for which construction did not yet begin. During 2006, inventory increased by $160.6 million, which was driven by higher backlog and product demand in the Crane segment. Increased accounts receivable reduced cash flows from operations by $7.5 million. This increase was driven by the increase in sales, offset by a sale of receivables through our securitization facility discussed below.

The company is party to an accounts receivable securitization program whereby it sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (Purchaser). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables. New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests. The company has retained collection and administrative responsibilities on the participation interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against the company for uncollectible receivables; however, the company’s retained interest in the receivable pool is subordinate to the Purchaser’s interest and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable and the company’s collection history, the fair value of the company’s retained interest approximates book value. The retained interest recorded at December 31, 2006 is $82.5 million, and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The securitization program’s capacity is $90 million, and includes trade accounts receivable from its domestic Crane and Foodservice businesses. Trade accounts receivables sold to the Purchaser and being serviced by the company totaled $90.0 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $61.3 million from the balance sold to the Purchaser at December 31, 2005.

We spent a total of $67.6 million during 2006 for capital expenditures. We continue to fund capital expenditures to improve the cost structure of our business, to invest in new processes, products and technology, and to maintain high-quality production standards. The following table summarizes 2006 capital expenditures and depreciation by segment.

The significant capital expenditures in 2006 include the continued investment in the Foodservice segment’s ERP system, the new China manufacturing

facilities in the Crane and Foodservice segments, production machinery and equipment, and new product tooling.

On May 26, 2006, the company acquired substantially all of the assets and business operated by McCann’s. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California with operations in Tijuana, Mexico , McCann’s is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of beverage dispensing equipment primarily used in fast food restaurants, stadiums, cafeterias and convenience stores. McCann’s primary products are backroom beverage equipment such as carbonators, water boosters and racks. McCann’s also produces accessory components for beverage dispensers including specialty valves, stands and other stainless steel components. The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisitions, net of cash acquired within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On January 3, 2006, we acquired certain assets, rights and properties of ExacTech, Inc., a supplier of fabrication, machining, welding and other services to various parties. Located in Port Washington, Wisconsin, the operation now provides these services to the U.S. based crane manufacturing facilities. The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisitions, net of cash acquired within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Restricted cash represents cash in escrow which replaced outstanding letters of credit related to performance under a certain Marine contract and security for the indemnity agreement for a casualty insurance provider.

During May 2006, we redeemed our 175 million Euro ($216.9 million based on May 15, 2006 exchange rates) 10 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we paid the note holders 105.188 percent of the principal amount of the redeemed

notes which included a call premium ($11.2 million) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. We utilized cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility to fund this redemption. The borrowings drawn on the revolving credit facility to complete this transaction were fully paid off during 2006 and no amount remains outstanding.

During 2005 and 2004, we sold two businesses. During 2005, we sold our DRI business and received proceeds of approximately $28.4 million, and in 2004, we sold Delta and received approximately $9.0 million in proceeds. This cash is reported in the discontinued operations section of the cash flow from investing activities.

In December 2004, we sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split) at a price of $36.25 per share (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split). Net cash proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, were $104.9 million. In addition to underwriting discounts and commissions, we incurred approximately $0.8 million of additional accounting, legal and other expenses related to the offering that were charged to additional paid-in capital. We used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $61.3 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and to pay the required premium to the note holders of $6.4 million. We used the balance for general corporate purposes. The redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 was completed on January 10, 2005.

During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we sold $14.8 million, $20.5 million and $25.8 million, respectively, of our long term notes receivable to third party financing companies. We guaranty varying percentages, up to 100%, of collection of the notes to the financing companies. We have accounted for the sales of the notes as a financing of receivables. The receivables remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of payments made, in other current and non-current assets, and we have recognized an obligation equal to the net outstanding balance of the notes in other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cash flow benefit of these transactions, net of payments made by the customer, is reflected as financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the customers paid $30.2 million, $6.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of the notes to the third party financing companies. As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the outstanding balance of the notes receivables guaranteed by us was $22.3 million, $37.4 million and $23.2 million, respectively.

Our outstanding debt at December 31, 2006 consisted of $150.0 million of 7 1/8% senior notes due 2013 (Senior Notes due 2013), $113.8 million of 10 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012) , as well as outstanding amounts under foreign working capital lines of credits and capital leases. During May 2006, we redeemed our 175 million Euro ($216.9 million based on May 15, 2006 exchange rates) 10 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011. As set forth in the note indenture, we paid the note holders 105.188 percent of the principal amount including a call premium ($11.2 million) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. We utilized cash on hand and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund this redemption.

Our Revolving Credit Facility, has $300 million of initial borrowing capacity and provides us the ability to access to an additional $250 million of borrowing capacity during the life of the facility under the same terms. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, which is based on our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined by the credit agreement. The annual commitment fee in effect at December 31, 2006 on the unused portion of the secured revolving credit facility was 0.15%. As of December 31, 2006, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Senior Notes due 2013 are unsecured senior obligations ranking prior to our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012. Indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility ranks equally with the Senior Notes due 2013, except that it is secured by substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2013 is payable semiannually in May and November each year, The Senior Notes due 2013 can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium on or after November 1, 2008.

The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 are unsecured obligations of the company ranking subordinate in right of payment to all of our senior debt and are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the company’s domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 is payable semiannually in February and August each year. These notes can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium on or after August 1, 2007.

As of December 31, 2006, we also had outstanding $9.2 million of other indebtedness with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.8%. This debt includes outstanding bank overdrafts in Asia and Europe, and various capital leases.

As of December 31, 2006, we had four fixed-to-floating rate swap contracts which effectively converted $163.8 million of our fixed rate Senior Notes due 2013 and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 to variable rate debt. These contracts are considered to be hedges against changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt obligation. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability of $4.5 million as of December 31, 2006. Debt is reflected at an amount equal to the sum of its carrying value plus an adjustment representing the change in fair value of the debt obligation attributable to the interest rate risk being hedged. Changes during any accounting period in the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts, as well as offsetting changes in the adjusted carrying value of the related portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged, are recognized as an ad

justment to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value of the swaps exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged fixed-rate debt; therefore, there was no net impact on earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006. The fair value of these contracts, which represents the cost to settle these contracts, approximated a loss of $4.5 million at December 31, 2006.

Our Revolving Credit Facility, Senior Notes due 2013, and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. In general, the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility are more restrictive than those of the Senior Notes due 2013 and the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012. Among other restrictions, these covenants require us to meet specified financial tests, which include the following: consolidated interest coverage ratio; consolidated total leverage ratio; and consolidated senior leverage ratio. These covenants also limit, among other things, our ability to redeem or repurchase our debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase capital stock, and create or become subject to liens. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains cross-default provisions whereby certain defaults under any other debt agreements would result in default under the Revolving Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2006, and based upon our current plans and outlook, we believe we will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent 12 months.

Our debt position increases our vulnerability to general adverse industry and economic conditions and results in a portion of our cash flow from operations being used for payment of interest on our debt. This could potentially limit our ability to respond to market conditions or take advantage of future business opportunities. Our ability to service our debt is dependent upon many factors, some of which are not subject to our control, such as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors. In addition, our ability to borrow additional funds under the Revolving Credit Facility in the future will depend on our meeting the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement, even after taking into account such new borrowings.

The Revolving Credit Facility or other future facilities may be used for funding future acquisitions, seasonal working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and other investing and financing needs. We believe that our available cash, funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility, cash generated from future operations, and access to public debt and equity markets will be adequate to fund our capital and debt financing requirements for the foreseeable future.

Management also considers the following regarding liquidity and capital resources to identify trends, demands, commitments, events and uncertainties that require disclosure: A. Our Revolving Credit Facility requires us to comply with certain financial ratios and tests to comply with the terms of the agreement. We were in

compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2006, the latest measurement date. The occurrence of any default of these covenants could result in acceleration of any outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility (no amount outstanding as of December 31, 2006). Further, such acceleration would constitute an event of default under the indentures governing our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and our Senior Notes due 2013.

B. Circumstances that could impair our ability to continue to engage in transactions that have been integral to historical operations or are financially or operationally essential, or that could render that activity commercially impracticable, such as the inability to maintain a specified credit rating, level of earnings, earnings per share, financial ratios, or collateral. We do not believe that the risk factors applicable to our business are reasonably likely to impair our ability to continue to engage in our historical activities at this time.

C. Factors specific to us and our markets that we expect to be given significant weight in the determination of our credit rating or will otherwise affect our ability to raise short-term and long-term financing. We do not presently believe that the risk factors applicable to our business are reasonably likely to materially affect our credit ratings or would otherwise adversely affect our ability to raise short-term or long-term financing.

D. We have disclosed information related to guarantees in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. E. Written options on non-financial assets (for example, real estate puts). We do not have any written options on non-financial assets.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Our disclosures concerning transactions, arrangements and other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources are as follows:

• We have disclosed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements our buyback and residual value guaranty commitments. • We also lease various assets under operating leases. The future estimated payments under these arrangements are also disclosed in Note 19 to the

Consolidated Financial Statements. • We have disclosed our accounts receivable securitization arrangement in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS A summary of our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006 is as follows:

* - There were no significant purchase obligation commitments at December 31, 2006 * - Table above does not include interest payments

Additionally, at December 31, 2006, we had outstanding letters of credit that totaled $21.1 million. We also had buyback commitments and residual value

guarantees outstanding, that if all were satisfied in full at December 31, 2006, the total cash cost to us would be $157.1 million, this amount is not reduced for amounts the company would recover from repossessing and subsequent resale of collateral.

We maintain defined benefit pension plans for some of our operations in the United States and Europe. The company has established the Retirement Plan Committee (the Committee) to manage the operations and administration of all benefit plans and related trusts. Our three U.S. pension plans had benefit accruals frozen several years ago. Effective January 1, 2007, we merged all U.S. pension plans together. We are also making a contribution of approximately $27.2 million during the first quarter of 2007 that will fully fund the ongoing U.S. pension liability. We will also change our investment policy to more closely align the interest rate sensitivity of our pension assets with the corresponding liabilities. The resulting asset allocation will be approximately 10% equity and 90% fixed income. This decision will remove a significant portion of the U.S. pension’s volatility due to unpredictable changes in interest rates and equity markets. This decision will protect our balance sheet as well as support our goal of minimizing unexpected future pension cash contributions based upon the new provisions of the Pension Protection Act and protect our employees benefits. In 2006, cash contributions to all pension plans by us were $13.9 million, and we estimate that our pension plan contributions will be approximately $31.6 million in 2007.

Risk Management We are exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodities, and changes in foreign currency exchange. To reduce these risks, we selectively use financial instruments and other proactive management techniques. We have written policies and procedures that place financial instruments under the direction of corporate finance and restrict all derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes. The use of financial instruments for trading purposes or speculation is strictly prohibited.

For a more detailed discussion of our accounting policies and the financial instruments that we use, please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 9, “Debt,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Rate Risk In 2006, we used interest rate swaps entered into with third party financial institutions such that approximately 39.5% of our debt is fixed and 60.5% is floating at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, we had four fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps outstanding. These swap contracts effectively convert $163.8 million of our fixed rate Senior Subordinated and Senior Notes to variable rate debt. Under these swap agreements, we contract with a counter-party to exchange the difference between a floating rate and the fixed rate applied to $163.8 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes. These contracts are considered to be a hedge against changes in the fair value of the fixed-rate obligations. Accordingly, these interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 as a liability of $4.5 million, and the related debt is reflected at an amount equal to the sum of its carrying value plus an adjustment representing the change in fair value of the debt obligation attributable to the interest rate risk being hedged. Changes during any accounting period in the fair value of the interest rate swap contract, as well as the offsetting changes in the adjusted carrying value of the related portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged, are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in the fair value of the swaps exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged fixed-rate debt; therefore, there was no net impact on earnings from these swaps for the year ended December 31, 2006. A 10% increase or decrease in the floating rate we pay under these swap agreements would result in a change in pre-tax interest expense of approximately $1.7 million. This amount was calculated assuming the year-end weighted-average rate of the swaps was constant throughout the year.

Interest swaps expose us to the risk that the counter-party may be unable to pay amounts it owes us under the swap agreements. To manage this risk we enter into swap agreements only with financial institutions that have high credit ratings.

Commodity Price s We are exposed to fluctuating market prices for commodities, including steel, copper, foam, and aluminum. Each of our business segments is subject to the effect of changing raw material costs caused by movements in underlying commodity prices. We have established programs to manage the negotiations of commodity prices. Some of these

programs are centralized across business segments, and others are specific to a business segment or business unit. During 2006, we entered into certain commodity hedges which become effective starting January 1, 2007 and began a program to systematically hedge these commodities going forward. These hedges fix the price of certain of our key commodities utilized in the production of our Foodservice product offerings.

Currency Risk We have manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities around the world and thus make investments and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. International sales, including those sales that originated outside of the United States, were approximately 47.7% of our total sales for 2006, with the largest percentage (27.9%) being sales into various European countries.

Regarding transactional foreign exchange risk, we enter into limited forward exchange contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow impact on nonfunctional currency denominated receivables and payables, predominantly between our Euro-denominated operations and their customers outside the Euro zone. Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of these forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement date of the related transactions. We also periodically hedge anticipated transactions, primarily at firm order date for orders to be sold into non-Euro-denominated locations, with forward exchange contracts. These forward exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding forward exchange contracts hedging underlying accounts receivable with a fair market value of $1.3 million and forward exchange contracts hedging outstanding firm orders with a fair market value of $3.7 million. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of the underlying functional currency at December 31, 2006, would not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Statement of Earnings as any gains or losses under the foreign exchange contracts hedging accounts receivable balances would be offset by equal gains or losses on the underlying receivables. Any gains or losses under the foreign exchange contracts hedging outstanding firm orders would not have a significant impact due to the relatively immaterial amount of contracts outstanding being hedged.

At December 31, 2006, there was also a significant portion of our foreign currency translation exposure that was not hedged due to the company paying off the senior subordinated notes due 2011 during 2006. Amounts invested in non-U.S. based subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate in effect at year-end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments. The translation adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2006, is $35.2 million.

Environmental, Health, Safety, and Other Matters Please refer to Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements where we have disclosed our Environmental, Health, Safety, Contingencies and other Matters. Critical Accounting Policies The Consolidated Financial Statements include accounts of the company and all its subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes. In preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involve the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Although we have listed a number of accounting policies below which we believe to be most critical, we also believe that all of our accounting policies are important to the reader. Therefore, please refer also to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed description of these and other accounting policies of the company. Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized and earned when all the following criteria are satisfied with regard to a specific transaction: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, collectibility of cash is reasonably assured, and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. We periodically enter into transactions with customers that provide for residual value guarantees and buyback commitments. These transactions are recorded as operating leases for all significant residual value guarantees and for all buyback commitments. These initial transactions are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period equal to that of the customer’s third-party financing agreement. In addition, we lease cranes to customers under operating lease terms. Proceeds received in connection with these transactions are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease, and leased cranes are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Revenue Recognition under Percentage-of-completion Accounting — Revenue under long-term contracts within the Marine segment is recognized using the percentage-of-completion (POC) method of accounting. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at the completion of the contract. Recognized revenues that will not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date are recorded as “recoverable costs and accrued profit on progress com

pleted not billed,” which are included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Likewise, contracts where billings to date have exceeded recognized revenues are recorded as “amounts billed in excess of sales,” which are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract and such estimates are reviewed when customer change orders are placed and on a regular basis. Sales and gross profit are adjusted when known for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Claims against customers are recognized as revenue when it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and the amount can be reliably estimated. Estimated losses are recorded when identified. The use of the POC method of accounting involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. The Company continually evaluates all of the issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the POC method of accounting. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Our estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations together with a general provision for unknown but existing doubtful accounts based on pre-established percentages to specific aging categories which are subject to change if experience improves or deteriorates.

Inventories and Related Reserve for Obsolete and Excess Inventory — Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using both the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and are reduced by a reserve for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimated reserve is based upon specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories together with a general provision based on pre-established percentages applied to specific aging categories of inventory. These categories are evaluated based upon historical usage, estimated future usage, and sales requiring the inventory. These percentages were established based upon historical write-off experience.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — We account for goodwill and other intangible assets under the guidance of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized; however, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performs impairment reviews for its reporting units, which have been determined to be: Cranes Americas; Cranes Europe, Middle East, and Africa; Cranes Asia; Ice Group; Refrigeration Group; Beverage Group; and Marine Group, using a fair-value method based on the present value of future cash flows, which involves management’s judgments and assumptions. The estimated fair value is then compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including recorded goodwill. The Company is subject to financial statement risk to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. The impairment testing performed by the Company at June 30, 2006, indicated that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount, including recorded goodwill and, as such, no impairment existed at that time. Other intangible assets with definite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite and definite lived intangible assets are also subject to impairment testing. A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions are required in performing the impairment tests, principally in determining the fair value of each reporting unit. While the company believes its judgments and assumptions were reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair values and, therefore, impairment charges could be required.

Employee Benefit Plans — We provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees, including pensions and postretirement health care coverage. Plan assets and obligations are recorded annually based on the company’s measurement date utilizing various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, retirement and mortality rates, and health care cost trend rates as of that date. The approach we use to determine the annual assumptions are as follows:

• Discount Rate — Our discount rate assumptions are based on the interest rate of noncallable high-quality corporate bonds, with appropriate consideration of our pension plans’ participants’ demographics and benefit payment terms.

• Expected Return on Plan Assets — Our expected return on plan assets assumptions are based on our expectation of the long-term average rate of return on assets in the pension funds, which is reflective of the current and projected asset mix of the funds and considers the historical returns earned on the funds

• Compensation increase — Our compensation increase assumptions reflect our long-term actual experience, the near-term outlook and assumed inflation. • Retirement and Mortality Rates — Our retirement and mortality rate assumptions are based primarily on actual plan experience. • Health Care Cost Trend Rates — Our health care cost trend rate assumptions are developed based on historical cost data, near-term outlook and an

assessment of likely long-term trends.

Measurements of net periodic benefit cost are based on the assumptions used for the previous year-end measurements of assets and obligations. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions when appropriate. As required by U.S. GAAP, the effects of the modifications are recorded currently or amortized over future periods. Based on information provided by its independent actuaries and other relevant sources, we believe that our assumptions used are reasonable; however, changes in these assumptions could impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability — We are subject in the normal course of business to product liability lawsuits. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, our exposure to losses from these lawsuits is mitigated by insurance with self-insurance retention limits. We record product liability reserves for our self-insured portion of any pending or threatened product liability actions. Our reserve is based upon two estimates. First, we track the population of all outstanding pending and threatened product liability cases to determine an appropriate case reserve for each based upon our best judgment and the advice of legal counsel. These estimates are continually evaluated and adjusted based upon changes to the facts and circumstances surrounding the case. Second, we obtain a third-party actuarial analysis to determine the amount of additional reserve required to cover incurred but not reported product liability issues and to account for possible adverse development of the established case reserve (collectively referred to as IBNR). This actuarial analysis is performed at least twice annually and our IBNR reserve for product liability is adjusted based upon the results of these analyses. We have established a position within the actuarially determined range, which we believe is the best estimate of the IBNR liability.

Income Taxes — We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We record a valuation allowance that represents a reserve on deferred tax assets for which utilization is uncertain. Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance would need to be adjusted in the event future taxable income is materially different than amounts estimated. Our policy is to remit earnings from foreign subsidiaries only to the extent any resultant foreign taxes are creditable in the United States. Accordingly, we do not currently provide for additional United States and foreign income taxes which would become payable upon repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

Stock Options — The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. We currently use a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of our stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Black-Scholes model requires assumptions regarding the volatility of the company’s stock, the expected life of the stock award and the company’s dividend ratio. We primarily use historical data to determine the assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and have no reason to believe that future data is likely to differ materially from historical data. However, changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility, future dividend payments and future stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used to value awards in the future and may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based awards.

Warranties — I n the normal course of business we provide our customers warranties covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by us. Such warranties generally provide that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months. If a product fails to comply with our warranty, we may be obligated, at our expense to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective product. We provide for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under our warranty at the time product revenue is recognized based on historical warranty experience for the related product or estimates of projected losses due to specific warranty issues on new products. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary associated with repair or replacement. The primary factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of shipped units and historical and anticipated rates or warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, we assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability and adjust the amounts as necessary.

Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 133, primarily related to hybrid financial instruments and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, as well as amends SFAS No. 140, related to eliminating a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for us on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 140 by requiring that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 is effective for us on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is

effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. Under SFAS No. 158, companies must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. SFAS No. 158 was effective for us as of December 31, 2006. See Note 18, “Employee Benefit Plans” for detail regarding the adoption of SFAS 158.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 .” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN No. 48 is effective for the company on January 1, 2007. We estimate the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of FIN No. 48 will be in the range of $5.0 million to $15.0 million and will be recorded as cumulative effect of accounting change in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2007.

In September 2006, the SEC Office of the Chief Accountant and Divisions of Corporation Finance and Investment Management released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”) that provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 had no impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Cautionary Statements about Forward-Looking Information Statements in this report and in other company communications that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, which are based upon our current expectations. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears within this annual report.

Forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans and objectives for future operations, and the assumptions behind those plans. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” and “expects,” or similar expressions, usually identify forward-looking statements. Any and all projections of future performance are forward-looking statements.

In addition to the assumptions, uncertainties, and other information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, a number of factors relating to each business segment could cause actual results to be significantly different from what is presented in this annual report. Those factors include, without limitation, the following: Crane — market acceptance of new and innovative products; cyclicality of the construction industry; the effects of government spending on construction-related projects throughout the world; changes in world demand for our crane product offering; the replacement cycle of technologically obsolete cranes; demand for used equipment; actions of competitors; and foreign exchange rate risk.

Foodservice — market acceptance of new and innovative products; weather; consolidations within the restaurant and foodservice equipment industries; global expansion of customers; actions of competitors; the commercial ice-cube machine replacement cycle in the United States; specialty foodservice market growth; future strength of the beverage industry; and the demand for quickservice restaurant and kiosks.

Marine — shipping volume fluctuations based on performance of the steel industry; weather and water levels on the Great Lakes; trends in government spending on new vessels; five-year survey schedule; the replacement cycle of older marine vessels; growth of existing marine fleets; consolidation of the Great Lakes marine industry; frequency of casualties on the Great Lakes; the level of construction and industrial maintenance, and ability of our customers to obtain financing.

Corporate (including factors that may affect all three segments) — changes in laws and regulations throughout the world; the ability to finance, complete and/or successfully integrate, restructure and consolidate acquisitions, divestitures, strategic alliances and joint ventures; successful and timely completion of new facilities and facility expansions; competitive pricing; availability of certain raw materials; changes in raw materials and commodity prices; changes in domestic and international economic and industry conditions, including steel industry conditions; changes in the interest rate environment; risks associated with growth; foreign currency fluctuations; world-wide political risk; health epidemics; pressure of additional financing leverage resulting from acquisitions; success in increasing manufacturing efficiencies; changes in revenue, margins and costs; work stoppages and labor negotiations; actions of company competitors and the ability of our customers to obtain financing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.:

We have completed integrated audits of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation in 2006.

Internal control over financial reporting Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Company and Basis of Presentation

Company The Manitowoc Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “company”) is a diversified industrial manufacturer of cranes, foodservice equipment and mid-size commercial, research and military ships. The company was founded in 1902 and operates in three business segments: Cranes and Related Products (Crane); Foodservice Equipment (Foodservice); and Marine.

The Crane business is a global provider of engineered lift solutions which designs, manufactures and markets a comprehensive line of lattice-boom crawler cranes, mobile telescopic cranes, tower cranes, and boom trucks. The Crane products are marketed under the Manitowoc, Grove, Potain, and National brand names and are used in a wide variety of applications, including energy, petrochemical and industrial projects, infrastructure development such as road, bridge and airport construction, commercial and high-rise residential construction, mining and dredging. Our crane-related product support services are marketed under the Crane CARE brand name and include maintenance and repair services and parts supply.

The Foodservice business is a broad-line manufacturer of “cold side” commercial foodservice products. Foodservice designs, manufactures and markets full product lines of ice making machines, walk-in and reach-in refrigerators and freezers, fountain beverage delivery systems and other foodservice refrigeration products for the lodging, restaurant, healthcare, convenience store, soft-drink bottling, and institutional foodservice markets. Foodservice products are marketed under the Manitowoc, SerVend, Multiplex, Kolpak, Harford-Duracool, McCall, McCann’s, Koolaire, Flomatic, Kyees, RDI, and other brand names.

The Marine business provides new construction, ship repair and maintenance services for freshwater and saltwater vessels and oceangoing mid-size commercial, research, and military vessels from three shipyards on the Great Lakes. Marine serves the Great Lakes maritime market consisting of US and Canadian fleets, inland waterway operations and ocean going vessels that transit the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.

Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. and it’s wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation (see Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity” for more information regarding reclassifications). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities All short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Marketable securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005, include securities which are considered “available for sale.” The difference between fair market value and cost of these investments was not significant for either year. Restricted cash represents cash in escrow funds which replaced outstanding letters of credit related to performance under a certain Marine contract and security for the indemnity agreement for a casualty insurance provider.

Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Approximately 85% of the company’s inventories at both December 31, 2006 and 2005, were computed using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The remaining inventories were computed using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. If the FIFO inventory valuation method had been used exclusively, inventories would have increased by $22.9 million and $20.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The company accounts for its goodwill and other intangible assets under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but it is tested for impairment at least annually. The company’s other intangible assets with indefinite lives, including trademarks and tradenames, and in-place distributor networks, are not amortized, but are also tested for impairment at least annually. The company’s other intangible assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually and are amortized over the following estimated useful lives:

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged against earnings as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and improve

ments that substantially extend the capacity or useful life of an asset are capitalized and amortized by depreciation charges. The cost and accumulated depreciation for property, plant and equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the accounts, and resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line depreciation method for financial reporting and on accelerated methods for income tax purposes.

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:

Property, plant and equipment also include cranes accounted for as leases. Equipment accounted for as leases includes equipment leased directly to the

customer and equipment for which the company has assisted in the financing arrangement such as guaranteed more than insignificant residual value or made a buyback commitment. Equipment that is leased directly to the customer is accounted for as operating leases with the related assets capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic life. Equipment involved in financing arrangements is depreciated over the life of the underlying arrangement so that the net book value at the end of the period equals the buyback amount or the residual value amount. The amount of rental equipment included in property, plant and equipment amounted to $120.0 million and $118.6 million, net of accumulated depreciation, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The company reviews long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.

Each year the company tests for impairment of goodwill according to a two-step approach. In the first step, the company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using the present value of future cash flows approach, subject to a comparison for reasonableness to its market capitalization at the date of valuation. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In the second step the implied fair value of the goodwill is estimated as the fair value of the reporting unit used in the first step less the fair values of all other net tangible and intangible assets of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair market value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. In addition, goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. For other intangible assets, the impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets to their carrying amount.

For property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, the company performs undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine impairments. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based upon comparison of the fair value to the net book value of the assets. Impairment losses on assets held for sale are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs to sell.

Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term variable rate debt approximated fair value at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The fair value of the company’s 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 was approximately $121.9 million and $126.3 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of the company’s 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2013 was approximately $151.2 million and $154.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 9, “Debt” for the related book values of these debt instruments. The aggregate fair values of interest rate swaps, commodity contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were ($1.1) million and ($1.9) million, respectively. These fair values are the amounts at which they could be settled, based on estimates obtained from financial institutions.

Warranties Estimated warranty costs are recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale of the warranted products based on historical warranty experience for the related product or estimates of projected costs due to specific warranty issues on new products. These estimates are reviewed periodically and are adjusted based on changes in facts, circumstances or actual experience.

Environmental Liabilities The company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are adjusted as information develops or circumstances change. Costs of long-term expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are discounted to their present value when the timing of cash flows are estimable.

Product Liabilities The company records product liability reserves for its self-insured portion of any pending or threatened product liability actions. The reserve is based upon two estimates. First, the company tracks the population of all outstanding pending and threatened product liability cases to determine an appropriate case reserve for each based upon the company’s best judgment and the advice of legal counsel. These estimates are continually evaluated and adjusted based upon changes to facts and circumstances surrounding the case. Second, the company obtains a third-party actuarial analysis to determine the amount of additional reserve required to cover incurred but not reported product liability issues and to account for possible adverse development of the established case reserves (collectively referred to as IBNR). This actuarial analysis is performed at least twice annually.

Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of the company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated using the current exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the weighted-average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The company has written policies and procedures that place all financial instruments under the direction of corporate treasury and restrict all derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes. The use of financial instruments for trading purposes is strictly prohibited. The company uses financial instruments to manage the market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The company follows the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137, No. 138, and No. 149. The fair values of all derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in a derivative’s fair value is recorded each period in current earnings or accumulated OCI depending on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as part of a hedge transaction and if so, the type of hedge transaction.

Cash Flow Hedge The company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily using foreign currency exchange contracts. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated OCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedge transactions, typically sales and costs related to sales, occur and affect earnings. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates.

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no amount was recognized in earnings due to ineffectiveness of a hedge transaction; however, in December 2004 $0.4 million was recognized as a charge to earnings due to the company unwinding its floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contract. This charge is included in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2006, the company has no floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts outstanding. The amount reported as derivative instrument fair market value adjustment in the accumulated OCI account within stockholders’ equity represents the net gain (loss) on foreign exchange currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges, net of income taxes.

Fair Value Hedges The company periodically enters into interest rate swaps designated as a hedge of the fair value of a portion of its fixed rate debt. These hedges effectively result in changing a portion of its fixed rate debt to variable interest rate debt. Both the swaps and the hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The change in fair value of the swaps exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged debt, with no net impact to earnings. Interest expense of the hedged debt is recorded at the variable rate in earnings. See Note 9, “Debt” for additional information related to these hedges.

Stock-Based Compensation At December 31, 2006, the company has five stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 14, “Stock Options.” Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment: An Amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 123” (SFAS No. 123(R)), which revised SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be measured at fair value and expensed in the consolidated statement of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period) of the grant. Upon adoption, the company transitioned to SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application, under which compensation expense is only recognized in the consolidated statements of operations beginning with the first period that SFAS No. 123(R) is effective and continuing to be expensed thereafter. Prior periods’ stock-based compensation expense is still presented on a pro-forma basis. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to stock based employee compensation for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

In addition to the compensation expense related to stock options, the company recognized $1.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million of compensation

expense related to restricted stock during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Revenue Recognition and Long-Term Contracts Revenue is recognized and earned when all the following criteria are satisfied with regard to a specific transaction: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; the price is fixed or determinable; collectibility of cash is reasonably assured; and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Shipping and handling fees are reflected in net sales and shipping and handling costs are reflected in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenues under long-term contracts within the Marine segment are recorded using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue under these fixed-price long-term contracts are recorded based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion, and costs are expensed as incurred. Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are included in revenue only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. When adjustments in contract value or estimated costs are determined, any changes from prior estimates are reflected in earnings in the current period. Anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress are charged to earnings when identified.

Amounts related to long-term contracts accounted for according to the percentage-of-completion method included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31 were as follows:

Recoverable costs and accrued profit on progress completed but not billed related to amounts not billable at the balance sheet date. It is anticipated that such

amounts will be billed in the first quarter of the subsequent year. Amounts billed but not paid pursuant to retainage contract provisions, which are due upon completion of the contracts, were $2.4 million and $7.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As discussed above, the company enters into transactions with customers that provide for residual value guarantees and buyback commitments on certain crane transactions. The company records transactions which it provides significant residual value guarantees and any buyback commitments as operating leases. Net revenues in connection with the initial transactions are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period equal to that of the customer’s third party financing agreement. See Note 16, “Guarantees.”

The company also leases cranes to customers under operating lease terms. Proceeds received in connection with these transactions are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease, and leased cranes are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and amount to $31.2 million, $26.0 million and $21.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Research and development costs include salaries, materials, contractor fees and other administrative costs.

Income Taxes The company utilizes the liability method to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the company’s financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary difference between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets where it is considered more likely than

not that the company will not realize the benefit of such assets.

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year or period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding is increased to include shares of restricted stock and the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if stock options were exercised and the proceeds from such exercise were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the year or period.

Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to stockholders’ equity. Currently, these items are foreign currency translation adjustments, additional minimum pension liability adjustments and the change in fair value of certain derivative instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk Credit extended to customers through trade accounts receivable potentially subjects the company to risk. This risk is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across various industries and many geographical areas. However, a significant amount of the company’s receivables are with distributors and contractors in the construction industry, large companies in the foodservice and beverage industry, customers servicing the U.S. steel industry, and the U.S. Government. The company currently does not foresee a significant credit risk associated with these individual groups of receivables.

Recent accounting changes and pronouncements In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 133, primarily related to hybrid financial instruments and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, as well as amends SFAS No. 140, related to eliminating a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for the company on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 will not have an impact on the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156, amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 140, by requiring that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 is effective for the company on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have an impact on the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the company on January 1, 2008. The company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. Under SFAS No. 158, companies must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. SFAS No. 158 was effective for the company as of December 31, 2006. See Note 18, “Employee Benefit Plans” for detail regarding the adoption of SFAS 158.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 .” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN No. 48 is effective for the company on January 1, 2007. The company estimates the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of FIN No. 48 will be in the range of $5.0 million to $15.0 million and will be recorded as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2007.

In September 2006, the SEC Office of the Chief Accountant and Divisions of Corporation Finance and Investment Management released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”) that provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 had no impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

3. Acquisition

On May 26, 2006, the company acquired substantially all of the assets and business operated by McCann’s Engineering & Mfg. Co. and McCann’s de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (McCann’s). Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and with operations in Tijuana, Mexico McCann’s is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of beverage dispensing equipment primarily used in fast food restaurants, stadiums, cafeterias and convenience stores. McCann’s primary products are backroom beverage equipment such as carbonators, water boosters and racks. McCann’s also produces accessory components for beverage dispensers including specialty valves, stands and other stainless steel components. The aggregate consideration paid for the McCann’s acquisition was $37.1 million, including acquisition costs of approximately $0.7 million. The acquisition resulted in approximately $14.4 million of goodwill and $14.3 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Foodservice segment. See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the McCann’s acquisition at Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

On January 3, 2006, the company acquired certain assets, rights and properties of ExacTech, Inc., a supplier of fabrication, machining, welding, and other services to various parties. Located in Port Washington, Wisconsin, ExacTech, Inc. now provides these services to the company’s U.S. based crane manufacturing facilities. The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition resulted in approximately $6.5 million of goodwill being recognized by the company’s Crane segment in the first quarter of 2006.

4. Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of 2005, the company decided to close Toledo Ship Repair Company (Toledo Ship Repair), a division of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Manitowoc Marine Group, LLC. Located in Toledo, Ohio, Toledo Ship Repair performed ship repair and industrial repair services. The company recorded a $5.2 million pre-tax ($3.4 million after tax) charge for costs related to the closure of the business. This charge included $0.2 million related to severance agreements; $1.0 million for future lease payments; $0.3 million for the write-off of goodwill related to this business; $2.2 million for the write-down of certain assets (primarily property, plant and equipment and inventory) to estimated salvage value; and $1.5 million for closing and other related costs. This charge is recorded in gain on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The closure of Toledo Ship Repair represents a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Results of Toledo Ship Repair in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued in the Consolidated Financial Statements to exclude the results from continuing operations.

The following selected financial data of Toledo Ship Repair for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the business operated as a stand-alone entity. There was no general corporate expense or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for this business during the periods presented.

During the third quarter of 2005, the company decided that it would divest of its wholly-owned subsidiary Diversified Refrigeration, LLC, (f/k/a Diversified

Refrigeration, Inc.) (DRI). DRI was the company’s private-label Foodservice contract manufacturing operation. On December 30, 2005, the company completed the sale of DRI to Monogram Refrigeration, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Electric Company. Net proceeds from the sale of DRI were approximately $28.4 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $17.6 million ($9.6 million after tax). This gain is recorded in gain on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The sale of DRI represents a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144. Results of DRI in prior periods have been classified as discontinued in the Consolidated Financial Statements to exclude the results from continuing operations.

The following selected financial data of DRI for the years ended 2005 and 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the business operated as a stand-alone entity. There were no operating results from DRI for the year ended December 31, 2006.

During the second quarter of 2004, the company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Manlift SAS (Delta), to JLG Industries, Inc.

Headquartered in Tonneins, France, Delta manufactured the Toucan brand of vertical mast lifts, a line of aerial work platforms distributed throughout Europe for use principally in industrial and maintenance operations. The company received $9.0 million for the sale of Delta. As a result of the sale, the company recorded a $1.5 million pre-tax gain ($1.2 million net of taxes). This gain is recorded in gain on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Delta was acquired in August 2002 as part of the Grove Investors, Inc. (Grove) acquisition. The sale of Delta represents a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144. Results of Delta in prior periods have been classified as discontinued in the Consolidated Financial Statements to exclude the results from continuing operations.

The following selected financial data of Delta for the year ended December 31, 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the businesses operated as a stand-alone entity. There were no general corporate expense or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2004.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the company terminated its distributor agreement with North Central Crane & Excavator Sales Corporation (North Central

Crane), the company’s wholly-owned crane distributor. The company entered into a new distributor agreement with an independent third party for the area previously covered by North Central Crane. The termination of the North Central Crane represents a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144 as this was the company’s only wholly-owned domestic crane distributor. Results of this company have been classified as discontinued to exclude the results from continuing operations.

The following selected financial data of North Central Crane for the year ended December 31, 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the business operated as a stand-alone entity.

business and divested of DRI. As a result, the company wrote-off the entire goodwill balances related to these businesses.

During 2005, the company reversed approximately $2.4 million of a tax reserve related to a German tax issue.

In June 2005, the company entered into a five-year, $300 million, secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility), which replaced the company’s $125 million revolving credit facility that was due to expire in May 2006.

Borrowings under the five year, $300 million, Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, which is based on the company’s consolidated total leverage ratio as defined by the credit agreement. The annual commitment fee in effect at December 31, 2006 on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.15%. As of December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2006, the company had $21.1 million of outstanding letters of credit secured by the Revolving Credit Facility. The company had $278.9 million of unused availability under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2006. During June 2005, the company recorded a charge of $0.8 million ($0.6 million net of income taxes) for deferred financing costs related to the termination of the previous $125 million revolving credit facility.

On May 15, 2006, the company redeemed its 175 million Euro, 10 ⁄ 8 % senior subordinated notes due 2011 for $216.9 million (based on May 15, 2006 exchange rates). Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, the company paid the note holders 105.188 percent of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. As a result of this redemption, the company incurred a charge of $14.4 million ($9.4 million net of income taxes) related to the call premium ($11.2 million), write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs ($3.1 million) and other expenses ($0.1 million). The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As part of the acquisition of Grove Investors, Inc. (Grove) in August 2002, the company issued $175 million of 10 ⁄ 2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due August 2012 (Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012). The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 are unsecured obligations of the company ranking subordinate in right of payment to all senior debt of the company and are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the company’s domestic subsidiaries (see Note 21, “Subsidiary Guarantors”). Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 is payable semiannually in February and August each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 can be redeemed by the company in whole or in part for a premium on or after August 1, 2007. The following is the premium paid by the company, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, if it redeems the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 during the 12-month period commencing on August 1 of the year set forth below:

In December 2004, the company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, approximately 3.0 million shares (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock

split) of its common stock at a price of $36.25 per share (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split). The company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem approximately $61.3 million of the 10 ⁄ 2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and to pay the prepayment premium to the note holders of $6.4 million. The redemption of $61.3 million of the 10 ⁄ 2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 was completed on January 10, 2005. As a result of this redemption, the company incurred a charge of approximately $8.3 million ($5.4 million net of income taxes) for the early extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment premium paid to the note holders of $6.4 million, and the partial write-off of debt issuance costs of $1.9 million. The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On November 6, 2003, the company completed the sale of $150.0 million of 7 ⁄ 8 % Senior Notes due 2013 (Senior Notes due 2013). The Senior Notes due 2013 are unsecured senior obligations ranking prior to the company’s Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012. Our Revolving Credit Facility ranks equally with the Senior Notes due 2013, except that it is secured by substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries. The Senior Notes due 2013 are fully and unconditionally jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the company’s domestic subsidiaries (see Note 21, “Subsidiary Guarantors”). Interest on the Senior Notes due 2013 is payable semiannually in May and November each year. The Senior Notes due 2013 can be redeemed by the company in whole or in part for a premium on or after November 1, 2008. The following is the premium paid by the company, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, if it redeems the Senior Notes due 2013 during the 12-month period commencing on November 1 of the year set forth below:

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the company recorded a charge of $1.0 million ($0.8 million net of income taxes) related to the prepayment of the

term loan B portion of its senior credit facility. The charge relates to the write-off of unamortized financing fees and unwinding of the company’s floating-to-fixed interest rate swap. This charge is recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004

Our Revolving Credit Facility, Senior Notes due 2013, and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. In general, the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility are more restrictive than those of the Senior Notes due 2013 and the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012. Among other restrictions, these covenants require us to meet specified financial tests, which include the following: consolidated interest coverage ratio; consolidated total leverage ratio; and consolidated senior leverage ratio. These covenants also limit, among other things, our ability to redeem or repurchase our debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase capital stock, and create or become subject to liens. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains cross-default provisions whereby certain defaults under any other debt agreements would result in default under the secured revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2006, and based upon our current plans and outlook, we believe we will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent 12 months.

As of December 31, 2006, the company also had outstanding $9.1 million of other indebtedness with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.8%. This debt includes $2.7 million of outstanding working capital lines of credit in China, $0.5 million in Europe, and $5.9 million of capital lease obligations in Europe.

As of December 31, 2006, the company had four fixed-to-floating rate swap contracts which effectively converted $163.8 million of its fixed rate Senior Notes due 2013 and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 to variable rate debt. These contracts are considered to be hedges against changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt obligation. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability of $4.5 million as of December 31, 2006. Debt is reflected at an amount equal to the sum of its carrying value plus an adjustment representing the change in fair value of the debt obligation attributable to the interest rate risk being hedged. Changes during any accounting period in the fair value of the interest rate swap contract, as well as offsetting changes in the adjusted carrying value of the related portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged, are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The change in fair value of the swaps exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged fixed-rate debt; therefore, there was no net impact on earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006. The fair value of these contracts, which represents the cost to settle these contracts, approximated a loss of $4.5 million at December 31, 2006.

The aggregate scheduled maturities of outstanding debt obligations in subsequent years are as follows:

10. Accounts Receivable Securitization

The Company is party to an accounts receivable securitization program whereby it sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (Purchaser). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables. New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests.

interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against the company for uncollectible receivables; however, the company’s retained interest in the receivable pool is subordinate to the Purchaser and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable and due to the company’s collection history, the fair value of the company’s retained interest approximates book value. The retained interest recorded at December 31, 2006 is $82.5 million and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Effective on December 22, 2006, the company entered into an amendment to its accounts receivable securitization program. The amendment expanded the scope of the program to include certain of the company’s domestic Foodservice segment’s businesses in addition to its Crane segment businesses and increased the capacity of the program to $90 million from $60 million. Trade accounts receivables sold to the Purchaser and being serviced by the company totaled $90.0 million at December 31, 2006.

Sales of trade receivables from the special purpose subsidiary to the Purchaser totaled $186.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2006. Cash collections of trade accounts receivable balances in the total receivable pool totaled $590.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The accounts receivables securitization program is accounted for as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” Sales of trade receivables to the Purchaser are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds received are included in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The table below provides additional information about delinquencies and net credit losses for trade accounts receivable subject to the accounts receivable securitization program.

The federal statutory income tax rate is reconciled to the company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 as follows:

The deferred income tax accounts reflect the impact of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and

their related basis as measured by income tax regulations. A summary of the deferred income tax accounts at December 31 is as follows:

The company’s policy is to remit earnings from foreign subsidiaries only to the extent any underlying foreign taxes are creditable in the United States.

Accordingly, the company does not currently provide for additional United States and foreign income taxes which would become payable upon repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Undistributable earnings from continuing operations on which additional income taxes have not been provided amounted to approximately $161.3 million at December 31, 2006. If all such undistributed earnings were remitted, an additional provision for income taxes of approximately $56.5 million would have been necessary as of December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, the company has approximately $256.2 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to reduce future state tax liabilities. These state net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning 2007 through 2026. The company also has approximately $50.9 million of foreign loss carryforwards, which are available to reduce future foreign tax liabilities. These foreign loss carryforwards generally have no expiration under current foreign law. The valuation allowance represents a reserve for certain foreign loss carryforwards for which realization is not “more likely than not.”

12. Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, 0.3 million, 0.2 million, and 0.4 million, respectively, common shares issuable upon the exercise of

stock options were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

13. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized capitalization consists of 150 million shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 3.5 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. None of the preferred shares have been issued.

On February 24, 2006, the board of directors authorized a two-for-one stock split of the company’s common stock. Record holders of Manitowoc’s common stock at the close of business on March 31, 2006, received on April 10, 2006 one additional share of common stock for every share of Manitowoc common stock they owned. Manitowoc shares outstanding at the close of business on March 31, 2006 totaled 30,605,986 (pre-split). The company’s common stock began trading at its post-split price at the beginning of trading on April 11, 2006. Per share, share and stock option amounts within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split, except as expressly noted otherwise in this report.

The amount and timing of the annual dividend is determined by the board of directors at its regular meetings each year. In December 2004, the company paid a cash dividend to shareholders of $0.14 per share of common stock. At its February 2005 meeting, the board of directors approved changing to a quarterly dividend beginning in the first quarter of 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the company paid four quarterly dividends of $0.035 per share of common stock.

Currently, the company has authorization to purchase up to 2.5 million shares (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split) of common stock at management’s discretion. As of December 31, 2006, the company had purchased approximately 1.9 million shares (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split) at a cost of $49.8 million pursuant to this authorization. The company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during 2006, 2005 or 2004.

As discussed in Note 9, “Debt,” in December 2004, the company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, approximately 3.0 million shares (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split) of its common stock at a price of $36.25 per share (not adjusted for the 2006 2-for-1 stock split). Net cash proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, were $104.9 million. In addition to underwriting discounts and commissions, the company incurred approximately $0.8 million of additional accounting, legal and other expenses related to the offering that were charged to additional paid-in capital. The company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem approximately $61.3 million of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and to pay the premium to the note holders of $6.4 million. The company used the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes. On January 10, 2005, the company completed the redemption of $61.3 million of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

14. Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment: An Amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 123” (SFAS No. 123(R)), which revised SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be measured at fair value and expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the service

period (generally the vesting period) of the grant. Upon adoption, the company transitioned to SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application, under which compensation expense is only recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning with the first period that SFAS No. 123(R) is effective and continuing to be expensed thereafter. Prior periods’ stock-based compensation expense is still presented on a pro-forma basis.

The company maintains the following stock plans:

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 1995 Stock Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and limited stock appreciation rights as an incentive to certain employees. Under this plan, stock options to acquire up to 5.0 million shares of common stock, in the aggregate, may be granted under the time-vesting formula at an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock at the close of business or the business day immediately preceding the date of grant. The options become exercisable in 25% increments beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date over a four-year period and expire ten years subsequent to the grant date. The restrictions on any restricted shares granted under the plan lapse in one-third increments on each anniversary of the grant date. Awards are no longer granted under this plan. Awards surrendered under this plan become available for granting under the 2003 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan.

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 2003 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (2003 Stock Plan) provides for both short-term and long-term incentive awards for employees. Stock-based awards may take the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance share or performance unit awards. The total number of shares of the company’s common stock originally available for awards under the 2003 Stock Plan was 3.0 million prior to the split in 2006 and 6.0 million shares post-split, subject to further adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and certain other transactions or events. Options under this plan are exercisable at such times and subject to such conditions as the compensation committee should determine. Options granted under the plan to date become exercisable annually in equal 25% increments beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date over a four-year period and expire ten years subsequent to the grant date. Restrictions on restricted stock awarded under this plan lapse 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date. There have been no awards of stock appreciation rights, performance shares or performance units.

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 1999 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (1995 Stock Plan) provides for the granting of stock options to non-employee members of the board of directors. Under this plan, stock options to acquire up to 0.4 million shares (0.2 million prior to the stock split in 2006) of common stock, in the aggregate, may be granted under a time-vesting formula and at an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock at the date of grant. For the 1999 Stock Plan, the options are exercisable annually in 25% increments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date over a four-year period and expire ten years subsequent to the grant date. During 2004, this plan was frozen and replaced with the 2004 Director Stock Plan.

The 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock and Awards Plan (2004 Stock Plan) was approved by the shareholders of the company during the 2004 annual meeting and it replaces The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 1999 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. Stock-based awards may take the form of stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units. The total number of shares of the company’s common stock originally available for awards under the 2004 Stock Plan was 0.5 million (0.225 million prior to the stock split in 2006), subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other transactions and events. Stock options awarded under the plan vest immediately and expire ten years subsequent to the grant date. Restrictions on restricted stock awarded to date under the plan lapse on the third anniversary of the award date.

With the acquisition of Grove, the company inherited the Grove Investors, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. Outstanding Grove stock options under the Grove Investors, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan were converted into options to acquire common stock of the company at the date of acquisition. Under this plan, after the conversion of Grove stock options to Manitowoc stock options, stock options to acquire 0.1 million shares of common stock of the company were outstanding. These options are fully vested and expire on September 25, 2011. No additional options may be granted under the Grove Investors, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the company recognized $5.7 million of pre tax compensation expense ($3.9 million after taxes) associated with stock options for the year ended December 31, 2006.

A summary of the company’s stock option activity is as follows (in millions, except weighted average exercise price):

The outstanding stock options at December 31, 2006 have a range of exercise prices of $8.47 to $54.05 per option. The following table shows the options

outstanding and exercisable by range of exercise prices at December 31, 2006 (in millions, except weight average remaining contractual life and weighted average exercise price).

The company continues to use the Black-Scholes valuation model to value stock options. The company used its historical stock prices as the basis for its

volatility assumption. The assumed risk-free rates were based on ten-year U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The expected option life represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and are based on historical experience.

As of December 31, 2006, the company has $8.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense which will be recognized over the next five years.

The weighted average fair value of options granted per share during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $19.20 and $7.57 and $6.35, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method with the following assumptions:

15. Contingencies and Significant Estimates

The company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERLA) in connection with the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site near Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Approximately 150 potentially responsible parties have been identified as having shipped hazardous materials to this site. Eleven of those, including the company, have formed the Lemberger Site Remediation Group and have successfully negotiated with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to fund the cleanup and settle their potential liability at this site. The estimated remaining cost to complete the clean up of this site is approximately $8.1 million. Although liability is joint and several, the company’s share of the liability is estimated to be 11% of the remaining cost. Remediation work at the site has been substantially completed, with only long-term pumping and treating of groundwater and site maintenance remaining. The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 is $0.9 million. Based on the size of the company’s current allocation of liabilities at this site, the existence of other viable potential responsible parties and current reserve, the company does not believe that any liability imposed in connection with this site will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

During the due diligence process for the sale of DRI, certain contaminants in the soil and ground water associated with the facility were identified. As part of the sale agreement, the company agreed to be responsible for costs associated with further investigation and remediation of the issues identified. Estimates indicate that the costs to remediate this site are approximately $2.0 million. During December 2005, the company recorded a $2.0 million reserve for these estimated costs. This charge was recorded in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 is $1.8 million. Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

At certain of the company’s other facilities, the company has identified potential contaminants in soil and groundwater. The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend upon the results of future investigation. Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its various businesses. Based on the facts presently known, the company does not expect environmental compliance costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

As of December 31, 2006, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business, and have fluctuated over the last five years. The range of the company’s self-insured retention levels is $0.1 million to $3.0 million per occurrence. The high-end of the company’s self-insurance retention level is a legacy product liability insurance program inherited in the Grove acquisition for cranes manufactured in the United States for occurrences from January 2000 through October 2002. As of December 31, 2006, the largest self-insured retention level currently maintained by the company is $2.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims for cranes manufactured in the United States.

Product liability reserves in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006, were $32.1 million; $11.3 million was reserved specifically for actual cases and $20.8 million for claims incurred but not reported which were estimated using actuarial methods. Based on the company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the company had reserved $69.4 million and $55.4 million, respectively, for warranty claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these warranties and other related claims involve matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiations, arbitration, or litigation.

It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental remediation, product liability and warranty costs may change in the near future based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the company’s historical experience. Presently, there are no reliable methods to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.

The company is involved in numerous lawsuits involving asbestos-related claims in which the company is one of numerous defendants. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, the current political environment with respect to asbestos related claims, and the liabilities accrued with respect to such matters, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the company.

The company is also involved in various legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, which, taking into account the liabilities accrued and legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The company has been in negotiations with one of its Marine segment customers to recover certain cost overruns that resulted primarily from specification inadequacies, change orders, cumulative disruption and constructive acceleration associated with a particular contract. During the third quarter of 2005, due to the fact that these negotiations were not successful within a timeframe satisfactory to the company, the company filed a lawsuit seeking recovery of these cost overruns from the customer. The customer filed a counter claim against the company in the fourth quarter of 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company established a reserve of $10.2 million to reflect the inherent uncertainties in litigation of this type. The $10.2 million reserve is recorded in cost of sales of the Marine segment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. If the company is successful in its recovery of costs as a result of this lawsuit or negotiations, the favorable impact on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in a future period could be material.

16. Guarantees

The company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for residual value guarantees and buyback commitments. These transactions are recorded as operating leases for all significant residual value guarantees and for all buyback commitments. These initial transactions are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period equal to that of the customer’s third party financing agreement. The deferred revenue included in other current and non-current liabilities at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $118.5 million and $128.5 million, respectively. The total amount of residual value guarantees and buyback commitments given by the company and outstanding at December 31, 2006 was $157.1 million. This amount is not reduced for amounts the company would recover from repossessing and subsequent resale of the units. The residual value guarantees and buyback commitments expire at various times through 2012.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the company sold $14.9 million and $20.5 million, respectively, of its long term notes receivable to third party financing companies. The company guarantees some percentage, up to 100%, of collection of the notes to the financing companies. The company has accounted for the sales of the notes as a financing of receivables. The receivables remain on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of payments made, in other current and non-current assets, and the company has recognized an obligation equal to the net outstanding balance of the notes in other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The cash flow benefit of these transactions, net of payments made by the customer, are reflected as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the customers have paid $30.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, of the notes to the third party financing companies. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the outstanding balance of the notes receivables guaranteed by the company was $22.3 million and $37.4 million, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the company. Such warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months. If a product fails to comply with the company’s warranty, the company may be obligated, at its expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective products. The company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its warranty at the time product revenue is recognized. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement. The primary factors that affect the company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped and historical and anticipated warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Below is a table summarizing the warranty activity for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

17. Restructuring and Plant Consolidation

During the third quarter of 2005, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $3.2 million in connection with the consolidation of its Kolpak operation located in Wisconsin with its Kolpak operation located in Tennessee. This action was taken in an effort to streamline the company’s cost structure and utilize available capacity. The charge included $1.5 million to write-down the facility and land, which are held for sale, to estimated fair market value less cost to sell; $0.7 million related to the write-down of certain equipment; $0.1 million to write-off excess inventory which will not be transferred to Tennessee; $0.5 million related to severance and other employee related costs; and $0.4 million for other related closing costs. This charge has been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. All of the restructuring reserves have been utilized by the company.

During 2004, the company incurred approximately $1.3 million of restructuring costs related primarily to the consolidation of its European crane facilities under programs implemented in 2003 (Crane segment) and the closure of its European ice machine business (Foodservice segment). As of December 31, 2005, no reserves remained related to these particular restructuring activities. These charges have been included in plant consolidation and restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.

18. Employee Benefit Plans

Savings and Investment Plans The company sponsors a defined contribution savings plan that allows substantially all domestic employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with plan-specific guidelines. The plan requires the company to match 100% of the participants’ contributions up to 3% and match an additional 50% of the participants’ contributions between 3% to a maximum of 6% of the participants’ compensation. The company also provides retirement benefits through noncontributory deferred profit sharing plans covering substantially all employees. Company contributions to the plans are based upon formulas contained in the plans. Total costs incurred under these plans were $30.0 million, $21.0 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Pension, Postretirement Health and Other Benefit Plans The company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents. The pension benefits are funded, while the health care and death benefits are not funded but are paid as incurred. Eligibility for coverage is based on meeting certain years of service and retirement qualifications. These benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions, and other limitations. The company has reserved the right to modify these benefits.

The components of period benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

The prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Gains and losses in excess of

10% of the greater of the benefit obligation and the market-related value of assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active participants.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in benefit obligation, the changes in plan assets, and the funded status as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of

FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. SFAS No. 158 requires, among other things, the recognition of the funded status of each defined pension benefit plan, retiree health care and other postretirement benefit plans and post employment benefit plans on the balance sheet. Each overfunded plan is recognized as an asset and each underfunded plan is recognized as a liability. The initial impact of the standard due to unrecognized prior service costs or credits and net actuarial gains or losses as well as subsequent changes in the funded status is recognized as a component of accumulated comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Additional minimum pension liabilities (AML) and related intangible assets are also derecognized upon adoption of the new standard. The company has adopted SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006. The following table summarizes the effect of required changes in the AML as of December 31, 2006 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 158 as well as the impact of the initial adoption of SFAS No. 158.

The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost during the next fiscal year are as follows:

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2006 consist of the following:

For measurement purposes, a 7.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2007. The rate was assumed

to decrease gradually to 5.0% for 2013 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1% change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

It is reasonably possible that the estimate for future retirement and health costs may change in the near future due to changes in the health care environment or

changes in interest rates that may arise. Presently, there is no reliable means to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.

The weighted-average asset allocations of the U.S. pension plans at December 31, 2006 and 2005, by asset category are as follows:

The weighted-average asset allocations of the Non U.S. pension plans at December 31, 2006 and 2005, by asset category are as follows:

The board of directors has established the Retirement Plan Committee (the Committee) to manage the operations and administration of all benefit plans and

related trusts. As of December 31, 2006, the Committee had an investment policy for the pension plan assets that establishes target asset allocations for the above listed asset classes as follows: Small Cap Stocks 10%; Mid Cap Stocks 15%; Large Cap Stocks 25%; International Stock 10% Intermediate Bonds 40% and cash 0%. The Committee is committed to diversification to reduce the risk of large losses. To that end, the Committee has adopted polices requiring that each asset class will be diversified, multiple managers with differing styles of management will be employed and equity exposure will be limited to 60% of the total portfolio value. On a quarterly basis, the Committee reviews progress towards achieving the pension plans’ and individual managers’ performance objectives.

The three U.S. pension plans had benefit accruals frozen during 2003. Effective January 1, 2007, the company has merged all U.S. pension plans together and will be making a contribution of approximately $27.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 that is expected to fully fund the ongoing pension liability. The company will also change its investment policy to more closely align the interest rate sensitivity of its pension assets with the corresponding liabilities. The resulting asset allocation will be approximately 10% equities and 90% fixed income securities. This funding and change in allocation will remove a significant portion of the U.S. pension’s volatility arising from unpredictable changes in interest rates and the equity markets. This decision will shore up the funded status of these plans, and minimize unexpected future pension cash contributions that would result from implementation of the provisions of the Pension Protection Act.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumptions, the company considered the historical returns and future expectations for returns in each asset class, as well as targeted asset allocation percentages within the pension portfolio. As a result of the change in the mix of investments, the expected return on plan assets has been reduced to 5.75%.

The expected 2007 contributions for the U.S. pension plans are as follows: minimum contribution for 2007 is $0.8 million; discretionary contribution is $27.2 million; and non-cash contribution is $0. The expected 2007 contributions for the non-U.S. pension plans are as follows: minimum contribution for 2007 is $3.6 million; discretionary contribution is $0; and non-cash contribution is $0. Company paid claims for the postretirement health and life plans are expected to be $4.8 million for 2007. Projected benefit payments from the plans as of December 31, 2006 are estimated as follows:

The fair value of plan assets for which the accumulated benefit obligation is in excess of the plan assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

The accumulated benefit obligation for all U.S. pension plans as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $124.1 million and $119.2 million, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for all Non U.S. pension plans as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $98.2 million and $86.2 million, respectively.

The measurement date for all plans is December 31, 2006.

The company maintains a target benefit plan for certain executive officers of the company and its subsidiaries that is unfunded. Expenses related to the plan in the amount of $1.9 million, $1.4 million and $1.1 million were recorded in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amounts accrued as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 related to this plan were $9.1 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

The company has a deferred compensation plan that enables certain key employees and non-employee directors to defer a portion of their compensation or fees on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2002, the company amended its deferred compensation plan to provide plan participants the ability to direct deferrals and company matching contributions into two separate investment programs, Program A and Program B.

The invested assets in Program A and B are maintained under two separate rabbi trusts, which restrict the company’s use and access to the funds but which are also subject to the claims of the company’s general creditors. Program A invests solely in the company’s stock; dividends paid on the company’s stock are automatically reinvested; and all distributions must be made in company stock. Program B offers a variety of investment options but does not include company stock as an investment option. All distributions from Program B must be made in cash. Participants cannot transfer assets between programs.

Program A is accounted for as a plan which does not permit diversification. As a result, the company stock held by Program A is classified in equity in a manner similar to accounting for treasury stock. The deferred compensation obligation is classified as an equity instrument. Changes in the fair value of the company’s stock and the compensation obligation are not recognized. The asset and obligation for Program A were both $0.5 million at December 31, 2006 and $0.4 million at December 31, 2005. These amounts are offset in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income.

Program B is accounted for as a plan which permits diversification. As a result, the funds held by Program B are classified as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the fair value of the assets are recognized in earnings. The deferred compensation obligation is classified as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and adjusted, with a charge or credit to compensation cost, to reflect changes in the fair value of the obligation. The assets, included in other non-current assets, and obligations, included in other non-current liabilities, were both $11.2 million at December 31, 2006 and $10.0 million at December 31, 2005. There was no net impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

19. Leases

The Company leases various property, plant and equipment. Terms of the leases vary, but generally require the company to pay property taxes, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs associated with the leased property. Rental expense attributed to operating leases was $23.6 million, $21.7 million and $20.6 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Future minimum rental obligations under non-cancelable operating leases, as of December 31, 2006, are payable as follows:

20. Business Segments

The company identifies its segments using the “management approach,” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the company’s reportable segments. The company has three reportable segments: Crane; Foodservice and Marine. The company has not aggregated individual operating segments within these reportable segments.

The Crane business is a global provider of engineered lift solutions which designs, manufactures and markets a comprehensive line of lattice-boom crawler cranes, mobile telescopic cranes, tower cranes, and boom trucks. The Crane products are marketed under the Manitowoc, Grove, Potain, and National brand names and are used in a wide variety of applications, including energy, petrochemical and industrial projects, infrastructure development such as road, bridge and airport construction, commercial and high-rise residential construction, mining and dredging.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that certain expenses are not allocated to the segments. These unallocated expenses are corporate overhead, amortization expense of intangible assets with definite lives, interest expense and income tax expense. The company evaluates segment performance based upon profit and loss before the aforementioned expenses. Financial information relating to the company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 is as follows.

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future

Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative

The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit . (a) General . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of

Credit in Dollars or in a Foreign Currency for its own account or that of a Subsidiary Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Applicable Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions . To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $75,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Alternate Currency Loans denominated in Foreign Currency shall not exceed $200,000,000 (or, solely prior to December 31, 2006 and in connection with the Restructuring Transactions, $250,000,000).

(c) Expiration Date . Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations . By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement . If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, such amount, if denominated in Foreign Currency, shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the

Applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute . The Applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, the Applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Applicable Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures . The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the

36

Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest . If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank . The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization . If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or

profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings . (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of

immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Alternate Currency Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04 and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Applicable Borrower or, in the case of Subsidiary Borrowers or Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, in another account, in each case as designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request and acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of the Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the

case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowings or Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the Foreign Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments . (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(d) The Borrower may, at its option, on up to two occasions, seek to increase the total Commitments by up to an aggregate amount of $250,000,000 (resulting in maximum total Commitments of $550,000,000) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall (i) specify the amount of any such increase and (ii) if any Indebtedness under the Senior Note Documents or the Subordinated Note Documents

is then outstanding, certify that incurrence by the Borrower of Indebtedness under this Agreement in the full amount of the proposed increased Commitments is permitted by the Senior Note Documents and the Subordinated Note Documents and shall be delivered at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrower may, after giving such notice, offer the increase (which may be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the total Commitments on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other Lenders or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No increase in the total Commitments shall become effective until the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Commitment amount and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which any such existing Lender states the amount of its Commitment increase, any such new Lender states its Commitment amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Borrower accepts such incremental Commitments. The Lenders (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Commitment, of a direct or participation interest in each then outstanding Loan and Letter of Credit such that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder is held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and commitment and letter of credit fees. The Borrower shall make any payments under Section 2.16 resulting from such assignments. Any such increase of the total Commitments shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt . (a) Each Applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of

each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Alternate Currency Lenders, the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Alternate Currency Loans on the Maturity Date, and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) a date that is no more than seven (7) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(f) In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders exceeds the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans . (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,

subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan or Alternate Currency Loan, the Swingline Lender or Alternate Currency Lender, as the case may be) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing (excluding Alternate Currency Loans), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of Alternate Currency Borrowings, not later than 11:00 a.m. London time, three (or, if so requested by the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender with respect to Alternate Currency Loans in a specified currency, four) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12. Fees . (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which

repayment thereof, and (ii) to the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender with respect to each Alternate Currency Loan made by it, a fronting fee with respect to the period from and including the date of the applicable Alternate Currency Loan to but excluding the date of repayment thereof at a rate per annum agreed between the Borrower and the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender. Such participation and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day (or, if earlier the date that the Commitments terminate). For purposes of clarity, no fee shall be payable under this clause (c) for Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.05.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank or Alternate Currency Fronting Lender, in the case of fees payable to such Persons) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(c) Each Swingline Foreign Currency Loan shall bear interest as determined in Section 2.05.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any of the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest on Borrowings denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, (ii) interest on Borrowings denominated in any other Foreign Currency for which it is required by applicable law or customary to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 days or, if required by applicable law or customary, 366 days in a leap year, shall be computed on such basis, and (iii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and (ii) such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lender of making or maintaining such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs . (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,

any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan

In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes . (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and

clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any of the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Applicable Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Applicable Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties,

interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Applicable Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Applicable Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by one of the Borrowers or with respect to which one of the Borrowers has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Applicable Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Applicable Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Applicable Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Applicable Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any of the Borrowers or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs . (a) Each of the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,

fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the

Issuing Bank, Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each of the Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such

Applicable Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, (i) at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in a Foreign Currency).

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders . (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional

amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);

provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Subsidiary Borrowers . (a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the

Borrower as a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least five Business Days before such designation is to take effect a Designation Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Borrower and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, together with (i) the items described in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 relating to such Subsidiary Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) such security agreements and similar documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish the pledge by such Subsidiary Borrower of substantially all of its assets (other than Real Property and such immaterial assets as may be agreed upon between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to secure the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and under the Designation Letter, and (iii) such other documents and information (including information relating to “know your customer” rules and regulations) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Upon any such designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and the consent of each of the Lenders, which will not be unreasonably withheld, such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (with the related rights and obligations) and shall be entitled to request Revolving Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Borrower so indicates in the applicable Designation Letter, the Subsidiary Borrower may be entitled to request only Alternate Currency Loans, in which case such Subsidiary Borrower shall then be entitled to request Alternate Currency Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement and the consent to such designation of only the Administrative Agent and the applicable Alternate Currency Lenders shall be required.

(b) So long as all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower and any related obligations have been paid in full, the Borrower may terminate the status of such Subsidiary Borrower as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a Termination Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Borrower and such Subsidiary. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery

Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of The Bank of England and/or The Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions), to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Cost Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Schedule 2.21 hereto.

(b) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserves or the Mandatory Cost Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans and Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined in reasonable detail by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

Schedule 2.21

MANDATORY COST RATE

1. Definitions.

In this Schedule 2.21:

“Act” means the Bank of England Act of 1998.

The terms “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings ascribed to the them under or pursuant to the Act or by the Bank of England (as may be appropriate), on the day of the application of the formula set forth in this Schedule 2.21.

“Fee Base” has the meaning ascribed to it for the purposes of, and shall be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

“Fees Regulations” means, as appropriate, either: (i) the Banking Supervision (Fees) Regulations 1998, or (ii) such regulations as from time to time may be in force, relating to the payment of fees for banking supervision in the United Kingdom.

“FSA” means the Financial Services Authority.

2. Calculation of the Mandatory Cost Rate.

The Mandatory Cost Rate is an incremental per annum addition to the interest rate charged with respect to each Eurocurrency Loan to compensate the Lenders for the cost attributable to such Eurocurrency Loan resulting from the imposition from time to time under or pursuant to the Act and/or by the Bank of England and/or the FSA (or other United Kingdom governmental authorities or agencies) of a requirement to place non-interest bearing or Special Deposits (whether interest bearing or not) with the Bank of England and/or pay fees to the FSA calculated by reference to the liabilities used to fund the relevant Eurocurrency Loan.

The “Mandatory Cost Rate” is the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the rate (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) resulting from the application of the following formula:

For Sterling:

AB +C(B-D) + E x 0.01 100 - (A+C)

Page 206: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

For other Foreign Currencies:

E x 0.01 300

where on the day of application of the formula,

A is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (in excess of any stated minimum) which the Administrative Agent is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England.

B is the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to the related Eurocurrency Loan.

C is the level of interest-bearing Special Deposits, expressed as a percentage of Eligible Liabilities, which the Administrative Agent is required from time to time to maintain by the Bank of England (or other United Kingdom governmental authority or agency).

D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on Special Deposits.

E is the rate payable by the Administrative Agent to the FSA pursuant to the Fees Regulations and expressed in pounds per 1,000,000 Sterling of the Fee Base of the Administrative Agent.

(A, B, C and D are to be expressed in the formula as numbers and not as percentages. A negative result obtained from subtracting D from B shall be counted as zero.)

The Mandatory Cost Rate attributable to a Eurocurrency Loan for any period shall be calculated at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the first day of such period for the duration of such period.

The determination of the Mandatory Cost Rate by the Administrative Agent in relation to any period shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders to the Credit Agreement referred to below [ ] [ ] Attention: [ ]

Exhibit 10.2(a)

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Effective January 1, 2005

As Revised Effective January 1, 2007

ARTICLE I

Statement of Purpose 1.1 The purpose of the Plan is to provide a system of incentive compensation which will promote the maximization of shareholder value.

In order to align eligible salaried employees’ incentives with shareholder interests, incentive compensation will reward the creation of value. The Plan will tie incentive compensation to Economic Value Added (“EVA®”) and, thereby, reward employees for creating value. Effective for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2005, this Plan replaced the Management Incentive Compensation Plan (Economic Value Added (EVA®) Bonus Plan), created effective July 4, 1993, as amended (the “Prior Plan”), subject to the Bonus Bank transition rules set forth in Article IV.

1.2 EVA is the performance measure of value creation. EVA reflects the benefits and costs of capital employment. Employees create value when they employ capital in an endeavor that generates a return that exceeds the cost of the capital employed. Employees destroy value when they employ capital in an endeavor that generates a return that is less than the cost of capital employed. By imputing the cost of capital upon the operating profits generated by a business group, EVA measures the total value created by employees.

EVA = (Net Operating Profit After Tax - Capital Charge)

1.3 Each Plan Participant is placed in a classification. Each classification has a prescribed target annual incentive award (bonus) opportunity (expressed as a percentage of base salary). A Participant’s target award opportunity, in any one year, is the result of multiplying their Target Bonus Percentage times the Participant’s base pay. A Participant’s incentive award earned in any one year is the result of multiplying the Actual Bonus Percentage times the Participant’s base pay. Incentive awards earned can range from 20% to 250% of the target award opportunity. Earned awards will be fully paid out after the end of the year, subject to the three-year transition period for negative Bank Balances outstanding after the payment of the fiscal 2004 incentive awards under the Prior Plan (see Section 4.2).

1.4 With respect to any corporate officer as of the February Committee meeting in a given calendar year (“Covered Officer”), the Plan is intended to qualify for the “performance-

based compensation” exception from the deductibility limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and shall be so interpreted and administered.

Article II Definition of EVA and the Components of EVA

Unless the context provides a different meaning, the following terms shall have the following meanings.

2.1 “ Participating Group ” means a business division or group of business divisions which are uniquely identified for the purpose of calculating EVA and EVA-based bonus awards. Some Participants’ awards may be a mixture of more than one Participating Group.

For the purpose of this plan, the Participating Groups are listed on Exhibit C.

2.2 “ Capital ” means the net investment employed in the operations of each Participating Group. The components of Capital are as follows:

Notes:

(1) NIBCL’ s include trade A/P to another Manitowoc unit (see Note 2), but do not include the contingent liability associated with Bonus Banks and include liabilities associated with receivable factoring programs as well as capital lease obligations.

(2) Intercompany trade payables and receivables will be excluded from EVA capital if outstanding longer than the approved payment date per intercompany payment terms.

(3) Accounts receivable reserve balances recorded at acquisition date will be treated as reductions to EVA capital and changes excluded from NOPAT up to the balance in the acquisition reserve for a 12-month period subsequent to the acquisition date. Inventory reserve balances recorded at acquisition date will be

treated the same as accounts receivable above except for spare parts inventory which will be excluded from Capital and NOPAT over a three-year period at a rate of 1/3 less each year.

2.3 Each component of Capital will be measured by computing an average balance based on the ending monthly balance for the twelve months of the Fiscal Year.

2.4 “ Cost of Capital ” or “ C *” means the weighted average of the after tax cost of debt and equity for the year in question. The Cost of Capital will be reviewed annually and revised if it has changed significantly. Calculations will be carried to one decimal point. The Cost of Capital for fiscal 2004 is 7.5%. In subsequent Plan years the methodology for the calculation of the Cost of Capital will be (formula is presented in Exhibit A):

a) Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Beta x Market Risk Premium)

b) Debt Cost of Capital = Debt Yield x (1 - Tax Rate)

c) The weighted average of the Cost of Equity and the Debt Cost of Capital is determined by reference to a fixed debt to capital ratio of 40%. The Risk Free Rate is the average daily closing yield rate on 30 year U.S. Government Bonds for the month of December immediately preceding the Plan Year, the BETA is one, and the Market Risk Premium is 5%. The Debt Yield is the projected weighted average yield on the Company’s long term obligations for the 12 month period ending December 31 of the Plan Year, and the tax rate is 39%. (The actual annual effective tax rate for the corporation (from continuing operations) will be used to calculate NOPAT for select management participants.)

The debt to capital ratio, BETA, and Market Risk Premium assumptions should be reviewed and updated if necessary at least every three years.

d) Short-term debt is to be treated as long-term debt for purposes of computing the cost of capital.

2.5 “ Capital Charge ” means the deemed opportunity cost of employing Capital in the business of each Participating Group. The Capital Charge is computed as follows:

Capital Charge = Capital x Cost of Capital (C*)

2.6 “ Net Operating Profit After Tax ” or “ NOPAT ”

“NOPAT” means the after tax cash earnings attributable to the capital employed in the Participating Group for the year in question. The components of NOPAT are as follows:

3

Page 226: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

(1) R & D is Capitalized, and amortized over a five-year period. It is defined as per the U.S. Federal R&D Tax Credit

Regulation. (2) Taxes are assumed to be 39% of Net Operating Profit Before Tax. (For exceptions see 2.4(c)).

2.7 “ Economic Value Added ” or “EVA” means the NOPAT that remains after subtracting the Capital Charge, expressed as follows:

ARTICLE III Definition and Computation of Target Bonus Award

3.1 “Actual EVA” means the EVA as calculated for each Participating Group for the year in question.

3.2 “Target EVA” for the year in question means the level of EVA that is expected in order for the Participating Group to receive the Target Bonus Award. The Target EVA may be different among the Participating Groups. See Exhibit C for which of the following Target EVA formulas is used for each Participating Group.

Formula A “Target EVA” = Last Year’s Actual EVA+ Expected Improvement in EVA

Formula B “Target EVA” = Last Year’s EVA paid (not to exceed the EVA necessary to achieve a Bonus Performance Value of 2.5) + 50% of the difference between Last Year’s Actual EVA and Last Year’s EVA paid + Expected Improvement in EVA “Maximum EVA Target” = Last Year’s Actual EVA+ Expected Improvement in EVA

3.3 “Expected Improvement in EVA” means the constant EVA improvement that is added to shift the target up each year. This is determined by the expected growth in EVA per year. The Expected Improvement factors will be evaluated and recalibrated by the Committee, as appropriate, no less than every three years. See Exhibit C for the Expected Improvement for each Participating Group.

3.4 “Target Bonus Award” for the year means the “Target Bonus Percentage” times a Participant’s base pay. For all purposes of the Plan, “base pay” generally means the base pay actually received for the calendar year, but with respect to Covered Officers is further limited to the rate of base pay in effect immediately after the February Committee meeting in the given calendar year, such that salary increases after the February Committee meeting are not considered for such year.

3.5 “Target Bonus Percentage” is determined by a Participant’s classification as shown on Exhibit B.

3.6 “Actual Bonus Award” for the year in question means the bonus earned by a Participant and is computed as the Actual Bonus Percentage times a Participant’s base pay for the year in question.

3.7 “Actual Bonus Percentage” is determined by multiplying the Target Bonus Percentage by the Bonus Performance Value.

3.8 “Bonus Performance Value” is an amount determined as follows:

(a) Base Formula . “Bonus Performance Value” means the Actual EVA minus the Target EVA, divided by the Leverage Factor, plus 1.0 [((Actual EVA – Target EVA)/Leverage Factor) + 1.0]; subject, however, to the following subparagraphs (b) and (c).

(b) Floor/Ceiling . (i) if the calculation of the Bonus Performance Value is less than 0.20, the Bonus Performance Value shall be deemed to be zero (0), and (ii) if the calculation of the Bonus Performance Value exceeds 2.5, the Bonus Performance Value shall be deemed to be 2.5.

(c) Target Formula B with Performance Value Greater than 1.0 . For Participating Groups to which Target EVA Formula B applies, if the Bonus Performance Value calculated under subparagraph (a) is greater than 1.0, the following applies:

(i) In order to achieve a Bonus Performance Value of 2.5 (the “Maximum EVA Award”), the “Bonus Performance Value” shall be determined as follows: the Actual EVA minus the Maximum EVA Target, divided by the Leverage Factor, plus 1.0 [((Actual EVA – Maximum EVA Target)/Leverage Factor) + 1.0].

(ii) If the Actual EVA is greater than the Target EVA but less than the minimum amount of EVA necessary under subparaph (c)(i) above to achieve the Maximum EVA Award (the “Maximum EVA”), the Bonus Performance Value shall be calculated by straight line interpolation by determining the percentage by which the

Actual EVA falls between the Target EVA and the Maximum EVA and applying the same percentage to the Bonus Performance Value between 1.0 and 2.5.

3.9 “Leverage Factor” is the negative (positive) deviation from Target EVA necessary before a zero (two times Target) bonus is earned. The Leverage Factors will be evaluated and recalibrated, as appropriate, no less than every three years. See Exhibit C for the Leverage Factor of each Participating Group.

3.10 “Adjustment Guidelines” are guidelines the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Committee) will consider in determining the potential treatment of any material, non-recurring or unusual items (see Exhibit D).

3.11 A Participant’s classification is determined by the Committee for officers of The Manitowoc Company, Inc., and by the Senior VP of HR & Administration for all new participants below the level of corporate officer.

ARTICLE IV Payment of Actual Bonus Awards; Bonus Bank Transition

4.1 Beginning with the fiscal 2005 Plan year, Actual Bonus Awards earned will be fully paid out after the end of the year at such time as the Committee determines, subject to the three-year transition period for negative Bank Balances outstanding after the payment of the fiscal 2004 incentive awards made under the Prior Plan.

4.2 For Bank Balances outstanding after the fiscal 2004 awards made under the Prior Plan, the following will apply:

• Positive Bank Balances: one-third of the Bank Balance will be paid out each year in cash (paid at the same time the fiscal 2005 to 2007 incentive awards are paid).

• Negative Bank Balances: 50% of the amount (if any) by which the Actual Bonus Award earned (if any) exceeds the Target Bonus Award in each of fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007, is used to pay down the negative Bank Balance. After three years (fiscal 2005 to 2007 incentive awards), any remaining negative Bank Balances will be forgiven.

4.3 Although a Bonus Bank may, as a result of negative EVA for fiscal years prior to 2005, have a negative Bank Balance, no Plan Participant shall be required, at any time, to reimburse his/her Bonus Bank, except pursuant to the Section 4.2 above.

4.4 “Bonus Bank” means, with respect to each Participant, a bookkeeping record of an account to which amounts are added to, or deducted from, as the case may be, from time to time under the Prior Plan (and subject to the transition rules of this Plan), and from which bonus payments to such Participant are paid out under the Prior Plan (and subject to the transition rules of this Plan). Subsequent to the 2007 Plan Year, Bank Balances will no longer exist.

4.5 “Bank Balance” means, with respect to each Participant, a bookkeeping record of the net balance of the amounts earned and paid out of such Participant’s Bonus Bank under the Prior Plan (and subject to the transition rules of this Plan).

ARTICLE V Plan Participation, Transfers and Terminations

5.1 Participants . Except as otherwise provided (primarily in Section 8.1) the Administrator will determine who shall participate in the Plan (“Participant(s)”). Employees designated for Plan participation shall be salaried employees of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. or its affiliates (the “Company”). In order for a Participant to receive or be credited with their Actual Bonus Award for a Plan Year, the Participant must have (i) remained employed by the Company through the last day of such Plan Year, (ii) terminated employment with the Company for any reason during the Plan Year at or after the earlier of attainment of age sixty, or the first of the month following the date on which the participant’s attained age plus years of service with the Company equal 80, (iii) suffered a disability within the meaning of Section 5.3 during the Plan Year, or (iv) died during the Plan Year. In all other cases of termination of employment prior to the last day of the Plan year, a Participant shall not be entitled to any Actual Bonus Award for such Plan year.

5.2 Transfers . A Participant who transfers his/her employment from one Participating Unit of the Company to another shall retain his/her Bonus Bank (subject to the transition rules of Article IV) and will be eligible to receive future Plan Awards in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. If a Participant transfers to a non-participating position, any positive Bonus Bank Balance will be paid out in full as soon as is practical.

5.3 Retirement or Disability . A Participant who terminates employment with the Company, at the earlier of attainment of age sixty, or the first of the month following the date on which the Participant’s attained age plus years of service with the Company equals 80 for retirement, or suffers a “disability,” as such term is defined in the Company’s long-term disability benefits program, while in the Company’s employ shall be eligible to receive the balance of the Participant’s positive Bonus Bank. In the case of retirement, the Participant will receive any positive Bank Balance in the year immediately following the Participant’s retirement. In the case of disability, while in the Company’s employ, the Participant will receive the Participant’s positive Bank Balance as soon as practical after qualifying for benefit payments under the Company’s long-term disability benefits program.

5.4 Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Death . A Participant who is terminated without cause or who dies shall receive any positive Bonus Bank Balance. Such payments will be made as soon as is practical.

5.5 Voluntary Termination . In the event that a Participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, the right of the Participant to the Participant’s Bonus Bank shall be forfeited unless a different determination is made by the Committee.

(iii) a course of conduct amounting to gross neglect, willful misconduct or dishonesty; or

(iv) any misappropriation of material property of the Company by the Participant or any misappropriation of a corporate or business opportunity of the Company by the Participant.

5.7 Breach of Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any other agreement, in the event that a Participant shall breach any non-competition agreement with the Company or breach any agreement with respect to the post-employment conduct of such Participant, the Bonus Bank held for such Participant shall be forfeited.

5.8 No Guarantee. Participation in the Plan provides no guarantee that a payment under the Plan will be made. Selection as a Participant is no guarantee that payments under the Plan will be made or that selection as a Participant will be made in any subsequent calendar year.

the Plan. Any claim with respect to any of the benefits provided under the Plan shall be made in writing within ninety (90) days of the event which the claimant asserts entitles the claimant to benefits.

In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board, as members of the Committee or as officers or employees of the Company, all members of the Committee and any officer, employee or representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries acting on their behalf shall be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred, in connection with the defense of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or an award granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by Company ) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person claiming indemnification shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.

6.7 Rights Personal to Participant.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate distribution of the Bank Balance, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

6.9 Non-Allocation of Award. In the event of a suspension of the Plan in any Plan Year, as provided herein in Section 6.8, the current Bonus for the subject Plan year shall be deemed forfeited and no portion thereof shall be allocated to Participants.

7.4 Other Plans. Nothing contained herein shall limit the Company or the Committee’s power to grant bonuses to employees of the Company, whether or not Participants in this Plan.

7.5 Limitations. Neither the establishment of the Plan or the grant of an award hereunder shall be deemed to constitute an express or implied contract of employment for any period of time or in any way abridge the rights of the Company to determine the terms and conditions of employment or to terminate the employment of any employee with or without cause at any time.

7.6 Unfunded Plan. This Plan is unfunded and is maintained by the Company in part to provide incentive compensation to a select group of employees and highly compensated employees. Nothing herein shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant.

ARTICLE VIII Authority

8.1 Plan Administration. “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, or if there is none, The Board of Directors. “Administrator” means the Company’s Senior Vice President-Human Resources & Administration or, if that position is vacant, the Committee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, full power and authority to interpret and administer this Plan shall be vested in the Committee. The Committee may authorize the Administrator to determine who shall participate in the Plan, except for the participation of officers. Participation of officers shall require Committee approval. The Committee may from time to time make such decisions and adopt such rules and regulations for implementing the Plan as it deems appropriate for any Participant under the Plan. Any decision taken by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Participants and any person claiming under or through them.

8.2 Board of Directors Authority. The Board shall be ultimately responsible for administration of the Plan. References made herein to the “Committee” assume that the Board of Directors has created a Compensation Committee to administer the Plan.

The Board or its Compensation Committee, as appropriate, shall work with the Company’s CEO and SVP-HR & Administration in all aspects of the administration of the Plan.

8.3 162(m) Limitations. After the February Committee meeting for any applicable year, the calculation methodology for the maximum possible benefit entitlement shall be fixed for any Covered Officers.

discretion inherent in Exhibit D shall be assumed to have been exercised for each of the guidelines (with the result that the items listed in Exhibit D will be excluded from the EVA calculation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the benefits of Participants who are not Covered Officers and in situations in which the effect is to reduce the actual benefits to a Covered Officer, the Committee shall retain the discretion inherent in 2.4, 3.3, 3.5, 3.10, 3.11, Exhibit D and elsewhere to alter the calculation methodology later than the February Committee meeting, up to and including the time of the final determination of the benefit entitlements .

ARTICLE IX Notice

9.1 Any notice to be given pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be in writing and directed to the appropriate recipient thereof at their business address or office location.

Exhibit A

Calculation of the Cost of Capital

“Cost of Capital” or “C*” means the weighted average of the after tax cost of debt and equity for the year in question. It is calculated as follows:

13

Inputs Variables:

Risk Free Rate = Average Daily closing yield on U.S. Government 30 Yr. Bonds (for the month of December preceding the Plan Year). Market Risk Premium = 5.0% (Fixed) Beta = One (Fixed) Debt/Capital Ratio = 40% (Fixed) b = Cost of Debt Capital (Projected & Weighted Average Yield on the Company’s Long Term Debt Obligations). Marginal Tax Rate = 39.0% (Historical Average).

Calculations:

y

= Cost of Equity Capital

= Risk Free Rate + (Beta x Market Risk Premium)

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = [Cost of Equity Capital x (1 - Debt/Capital Ratio)] + [Cost of Debt x (Debt/Capital Ratio) x (1 - Marginal Tax Rate)] C* = [y x (1 - Debt/Capital)] + [b x (Debt/Capital) x (1 - Marginal Tax Rate)]

Exhibit D

Adjustment Guidelines for Material and Unexpected Non-Recurring Items

• Potential material and unexpected “non-recurring items” which the Committee may consider excluding from the “raw” EVA calculation (i.e., impact net operating profit after-tax or the cost of capital), in order to ensure employees are assessed on the performance of continuing operations, based on our experience, include:

• Change in Accounting Principle or Practices (e.g., treatment of goodwill, FAS 123-revised 2004, etc.). Typically, the company may exclude the impact from both operating results and performance goals.

• Major acquisition (i.e., acquiring a business with total assets greater than 15% of the company’s/operating unit’s prior year-end total assets). In the event of a major acquisition, the company may exclude the performance of the acquired unit from both results and goals for an agreed upon period of time.

• Major disposition (e.g., disposition as defined by FAS 144). In the event a disposition is classified as discontinued under FAS 144, the company may exclude the performance of the disposed unit from both results and goals.

• Restructuring (i.e., reorganization of a specific business or operating unit). In the event of a restructuring, the company may exclude the cost of restructuring from NOPAT but must also exclude any benefits up to the amount of restructuring costs during the subsequent 12-month period. The restructuring liability should also be excluded from the calculation of capital for the same subsequent 12-month period.

• Recapitalization (i.e., significant altering of the company’s current capital structure). In the event of a recapitalization, the company may exclude the impact from both results and goals.

• Other unusual or one-time gains/losses considered on a case-by-case basis relative to their impact on the company’s/operating unit’s financial results.

• Expenses related to significant ERP system implementations may be capitalized and amortized over the same period as the ERP asset.

Exhibit 10.7(c) THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.

2003 INCENTIVE STOCK AND AWARDS PLAN Amended Effective February 27, 2007

1. Purpose and Construction .

(a) Purpose . The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 2003 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan has two complementary purposes: (i) to attract and retain outstanding people as officers, employees, consultants and advisors and (ii) to increase shareholder value. The Plan will provide participants incentives to increase shareholder value by offering the opportunity to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, receive monetary payments based on the value of such common stock, or receive other incentive compensation, on the potentially favorable terms that this Plan provides.

(b) Definitions . All capitalized terms used in this Plan have the meanings given in Section 13. 2. Administration .

(a) Committee Administration . The Committee has full authority to administer this Plan, including the authority to (i) interpret the provisions of this Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, (iii) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or agreement covering an Award in the manner and to the extent it deems desirable to carry this Plan into effect, and (iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. A majority of the members of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and a majority of the Committee’s members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present must make all determinations of the Committee. The Committee may make any determination under this Plan without notice or meeting of the Committee by a writing that a majority of the Committee members have signed. All Committee determinations are final and binding.

(b) Delegation to Other Committees or Officers . To the extent applicable law permits, the Board may delegate to another committee of the Board or to one or more officers of the Company any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee. However, no such delegation is permitted with respect to individuals who are Section 16 Participants at the time any such delegated authority or responsibility is exercised. The Board also may delegate to another committee of the Board consisting entirely of Non-Employee Directors any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee with respect to individuals who are Section 16 Participants. If the Board has made such a delegation, then all references to the Committee in this Plan include such other committee or one or more officers to the extent of such delegation.

(c) No Liability . No member of the Committee, and no officer to whom a delegation under subsection (b) has been made, will be liable for any act done, or determination made, by the individual in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless such individual to the maximum extent that the law and the Company’s bylaws permit.

3. Eligibility . The Committee may designate from time to time the Participants to receive Awards under this Plan. The Committee’s designation of a Participant in any year will not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year. The Committee may consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting a Participant and in determining the types and amounts of Awards. In making such selection and determination, factors the Committee may consider include: (a) the Company’s financial condition; (b) anticipated profits for the current or future years; (c) the Participant’s contributions to the profitability and development of the Company; and (d) other compensation provided to the Participant.

4. Discretionary Grants of Awards .

(a) Terms and Conditions of Awards . Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee has full power and authority to determine: (i) the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which an Award is granted to a Participant, if applicable; and (iii) any other terms and conditions of any Award granted to a Participant. If the employment of a Participant shall terminate by reason of death or Disability, as to Awards held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination of employment, all Options and SARs which are not yet vested shall be fully and immediately vested and exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock shall be accelerated and deemed to have lapsed, and all Performance Goals applicable to Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be deemed to have been achieved. If the employment of a Participant shall terminate for any reason other than death or Disability, as to Awards held by the Participant of the effective date of such termination of employment, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine, all nonvested Options and SARs, Restricted Stock as to which all restrictions have not lapsed, and all Performance Shares and Performance Units for which the Performance Goals have not been fully satisfied shall be immediately forfeited. If the Committee determines not to require such immediate forfeiture, then the maximum exercise period which may be permitted for Options and SARs following such employment termination shall be the shorter of one year or the scheduled expiration date of the Award.

(b) Single or Tandem Awards . Awards under this Plan may be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award (or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or any Affiliate). Tandem Awards may be granted either at the same time as, or at different times from, the grant of the other Awards (or awards) to which they relate.

5. Shares Reserved under this Plan .

(a) Plan Reserve . An aggregate of 3,000,000 Shares are reserved for issuance under this Plan. As to Awards that are (i) Restricted Stock, (ii) Performance Shares, or (iii) Performance Units that are paid in Shares or the value of which is based on the Fair Market Value of Shares, the Company may not issue, or make payments as to, more than 1,000,000 Shares in the aggregate. The limitations of this subsection are subject to adjustments as provided in Section 11.

Page 241: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

(b) Replenishment of Shares Under this Plan . The number of Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares delivered in payment or settlement of Awards. If an Award lapses, expires, terminates or is cancelled without the issuance of Shares under the Award, then the Shares subject to, reserved for or delivered in payment in respect of such Award may again be used for new Awards under this Plan as determined under subsection (a), including issuance as Restricted Stock or pursuant to incentive stock options. If Shares are issued under any Award and the Company subsequently reacquires them pursuant to rights reserved upon the issuance of the Shares, if Shares are used in connection with the satisfaction of tax obligations relating to an Award, or if previously owned Shares are delivered to the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Award, then the Shares subject to, reserved for or delivered in payment in respect of such Award may again be used for new Awards under this Plan as determined under subsection (a), including issuance as Restricted Stock, but such shares may not be issued pursuant to incentive stock options.

(c) Addition of Shares from Predecessor Plan . After the Effective Date of this Plan, if any Shares subject to awards granted under The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 1995 Stock Plan would again become available for new grants under the terms of such prior plan if the prior plan were still in effect, then those Shares will be available for the purpose of granting Awards under this Plan, thereby increasing the Shares available under this Plan as determined under the first sentence of subsection (a). Any such Shares will not be available for future awards under the terms of such prior plan.

(d) Participant Limitations . Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11, no Participant may be granted Awards under this Plan that could result in such Participant: (i) receiving in any single fiscal year of the Company Options, with or without any related Stock Appreciation Rights, or Stock Appreciation Rights not related to Options, for more than 300,000 Shares, (ii) receiving Awards of Restricted Stock in any single fiscal year of the Company relating to more than 200,000 Shares, (iii) receiving Performance Shares in any single fiscal year of the Company relating to more than 200,000 Shares; (iv) receiving Awards of Performance Units in any single fiscal year of the Company with a designated dollar value that exceeds $3,000,000 and/or receiving Awards of Performance Units in any single fiscal year of the Company, the value of which is based on the Fair Market Value of Shares, relating to more than 200,000 Shares. In all cases, determinations under this Section 5 shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the exemption for performance-based compensation that Code Section 162(m) provides.

6. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights .

(a) Eligibility for Options . The Committee may grant Options to any Participant it selects. The Committee must specify whether the Option is an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option, but only employees of the Company or a Subsidiary may receive grants of incentive stock options.

(b) Exercise Price of Options . For each Option, the Committee will establish the exercise price, which may not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option as determined on the date of grant. The Committee shall also determine the method or methods by which, and the forms or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other

3

Page 242: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which payment of the exercise price with respect to any Option may be made or deemed to have been made.

(c) Terms and Conditions of Options . Subject to the terms of the Plan, an Option will be exercisable at such times and subject to such conditions as the Committee specifies, except that the Option must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant. In all other respects, the terms of any incentive stock option should comply with the provisions of Code Section 422 except to the extent the Committee determines otherwise.

(d) Eligibility and Exercise Price for Stock Appreciation Rights . The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Participant it selects. Each Stock Appreciation Right may relate to all or a portion of a specific Option granted under the Plan and may be granted concurrently with the Option to which it relates or at any time prior to the exercise, termination or expiration of such Option (a “Tandem SAR”), or may be granted independently of any Option, as determined by the Committee. If the Stock Appreciation Right is granted independently of an Option, the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, fix an exercise price in excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on such grant date.

(e) Upon Exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right . Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, without payment to the Company, either (A) that number of Shares determined by dividing (i) the total number of Shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised by the Participant, multiplied by the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day the right is exercised exceeds the exercise price (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Spread”), by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date; or (B) cash in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the total number of Shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised by the Participant, by (ii) the amount of the Spread; or (C) a combination of Shares and cash, in amounts determined as set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, in the case of a Tandem SAR, the total number of Shares which may be received upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right for Common Stock shall not exceed the total number of Shares subject to the related Option or portion thereof, and the total amount of cash which may be received upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right for cash shall not exceed the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the total number of Shares subject to the related Option or portion thereof.

(f) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights .

(a) Eligibility for Restricted Stock, Performance Shares and Performance Units . The Committee may grant awards of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or Performance Units to Participants the Committee selects.

(b) Terms and Conditions . Subject to the terms of the Plan, each award of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or Performance Units may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, a condition that one or more Performance Goals be achieved for the Participant to realize all or a portion of the benefit provided under the Award. However, an award of Restricted Stock that requires the achievement of Performance Goals must have a restriction period of at least one year, and an award of Restricted Stock that is not subject to Performance Goals must have a restriction period of at least three years. The Committee may determine to pay Performance Units in cash, in Shares, or in a combination of cash and Shares.

8. Transferability . Except as otherwise provided in this Section, or as the Committee otherwise provides, each Award granted under this Plan is not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Participant such Awards may be exercised only by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or by the permitted transferee of such Participant as hereinafter provided (or by the legal representative of such permitted transferee). A Participant may transfer Awards to (i) his or her spouse, children or grandchildren (“Immediate Family Members”); (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; or (iii) a partnership in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners. The transfer will be effective only if the Participant receives no consideration for such transfer.

of Code Section 162(m) so that the Company can deduct compensation in excess of the limitation set forth in that section), or (C) the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded (to maintain the listing or quotation of the Shares on that exchange); and

(ii) shareholders must approve any of the following Plan amendments: (A) an amendment to materially increase any number of Shares specified in Section 5(a) or 5(d) (except as permitted by Section 11); (B) an amendment to shorten the restriction periods specified in Section 7(b); or (C) an amendment to the provisions of Section 9(e).

(c) Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards . Except as provided in subsection (e) and subject to the requirements of this Plan, the Committee may waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or the exercise of the Award, and the Committee may modify, amend, or cancel any of the other terms and conditions applicable to any Awards by mutual agreement between the Committee and the Participant or any other persons as may then have an interest in the Award, so long as any amendment or modification does not increase the number of Shares issuable under this Plan (except as permitted by Section 11), but the Committee need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for the cancellation of an Award pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Committee shall have sole discretion to alter the selected Performance Goals subject to shareholder approval, to the extent required to qualify an Award for the performance-based exemption provided by Code Section 162(m) (or any successor provision thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Committee determines it is advisable to grant an Award which does not qualify for the performance-based exemption under Code Section 162(m) (or any successor thereto), the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements therefor.

(d) Survival of Committee Authority and Awards . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Committee to administer this Plan and modify or amend an Award may extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination. In addition, termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards will continue in force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.

(e) Repricing Prohibited . Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and except for the adjustments provided in Section 11, neither the Committee nor any other person may decrease the exercise price for any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan after the date of grant nor allow a Participant to surrender an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise price.

(f) Foreign Participation . To assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed in foreign countries, the Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or

custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan as it determines is necessary or appropriate for such purposes. Any such amendment, restatement or alternative versions that the Committee approves for purposes of using this Plan in a foreign country will not affect the terms of this Plan for any other country. In addition, all such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions must comply with the provisions of Section 9(b)(ii).

10. Taxes . The Company is entitled to withhold the amount of any tax attributable to any amount payable or Shares deliverable under this Plan after giving the person entitled to receive such amount or Shares notice as far in advance as practicable, and the Company may defer making payment or delivery if any such tax may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction. The Committee may permit a Participant to pay all or a portion of the federal, state and local withholding taxes arising in connection with (a) the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, (b) a disqualifying disposition of Shares received upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, or (c) the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, by electing to (i) have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under the Award, (ii) tender back Shares received in connection with such Award or (iii) deliver other previously owned Shares which have been beneficially owned by the Participant for at least six (6) months, in each case having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be withheld. However, the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total minimum federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction. The election must be made on or before the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and otherwise as the Committee requires. The Fair Market Value of fractional Shares remaining after payment of the withholding taxes may be paid to the Participant in cash.

11. Adjustment Provisions; Change of Control .

(a) Stock Split, Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split . In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split, of Shares, the number of Shares subject to this Plan (including the number and type of Shares that may be granted as Restricted Stock or issued pursuant to incentive stock options, to a Participant in any fiscal year, and that may after the event be made the subject of Awards under this Plan) and the number Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the grant, purchase and exercise price with respect to any outstanding Awards, shall thereupon automatically be adjusted proportionately in a manner consistent with such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made under this Plan; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares must always be a whole number. In the event that any such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split would result in an outstanding Award consisting of any fractional Share(s), the Committee may cancel such fractional amount or grant an Award of an additional fractional amount so that there is no fraction amount or may make provision for a cash payment, in an amount determined by the Committee to the holder of the Award that would include a fractional Share, in exchange for the cancellation of such factional Share(s) (without any consent of the holder of any such fractional Share), effective as of the time the Committee specifies (which may be the time such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split, is effective).

(b) Other Adjustment of Shares . In addition to the non-discretionary adjustment provisions of Section 11(a), if the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, other securities, or other property, but not including a dividend of Shares which is governed by Section 11(a)), recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that the Committee determines an adjustment to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, then, subject to Participants’ rights under subsection (c), the Committee may, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares subject to this Plan (including the number and type of Shares that may be granted as Restricted Stock or issued pursuant to incentive stock options, that may be granted to a Participant in any fiscal year, and that may after the event be made the subject of Awards under this Plan), (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award. In any such case, the Committee may also make provision for a cash payment in an amount determined by the Committee to the holder of an outstanding Award in exchange for the cancellation of all or a portion of the Award (without the consent of the holder of an Award) effective at such time as the Committee specifies (which may be the time such transaction or event is effective), but if such transaction or event constitutes a Change of Control, then (A) such payment shall be at least as favorable to the holder as the greatest amount the holder could have received in respect of such Award under subsection (c) and (B) from and after the Change of Control, the Committee may make such a provision only if the Committee determines that doing so is necessary to substitute, for each Share then subject to an Award, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to which holders of Common Stock are or will be entitled in respect of each Share pursuant to the transaction or

8

Page 247: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

event in accordance with the last sentence of this subsection (a). However, in each case, with respect to Awards of incentive stock options, no such adjustment may be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause this Plan to violate Code Section 422(b). Further, the number of Shares subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares must always be a whole number. Without limitation, subject to Participants’ rights under subsection (c), in the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or other similar corporate transaction or event, whether or not constituting a Change of Control, other than any such transaction in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the outstanding Common Stock is not being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof, the Committee may substitute, on an equitable basis as the Committee determines, for each Share then subject to an Award, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to which holders of Common Stock are or will be entitled in respect of each Share pursuant to the transaction.

(c) Issuance or Assumption . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and without affecting the number of Shares otherwise reserved or available under this Plan, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of awards upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate.

(d) Change of Control . Except to the extent the Committee provides a result more favorable to holders of Awards or as otherwise set forth in an Agreement covering an Award, in the event of a Change of Control:

(i) each holder of an Option (A) shall have the right at any time thereafter to exercise the Option in full whether or not the Option was theretofore exercisable; and (B) shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Change of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of the Option, an amount of cash equal to the excess of the Change of Control Price of the Shares covered by the Option that is so surrendered over the exercise price of such Shares under the Award;

(ii) Restricted Stock that is not then vested shall vest upon the date of the Change of Control and each holder of such Restricted Stock shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Change of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of such Restricted Stock, an amount of cash equal to the Change of Control Price of such Restricted Stock;

(iii) each holder of a Performance Share and/or Performance Unit for which the performance period has not expired shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Change of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of the Performance Share and/or Performance Unit, an amount of cash equal to the product of the value of the Performance Share and/or Performance Unit and a fraction the numerator of which is the number of whole months which have elapsed from the beginning of

the performance period to the date of the Change of Control and the denominator of which is the number of whole months in the performance period;

(iv) each holder of a Performance Share and/or Performance Unit that has been earned but not yet paid shall receive an amount of cash equal to the value of the Performance Share and/or Performance Unit; and

(v) all annual incentive awards that are earned but not yet paid shall be paid, and all annual incentive awards that are not yet earned shall be deemed to have been earned pro rata, as if the Performance Goals are attained as of the effective date of the Change of Control, by taking the product of (A) the Participant’s maximum award opportunity for the fiscal year, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full or partial months that have elapsed from the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the Change of Control and the denominator of which is twelve (12).

For purposes of this Section 11, the “value” of a Performance Share shall be equal to, and the “value” of a Performance Unit for which the value is equal to the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be based on, the Change of Control Price.

12. Miscellaneous .

(a) Other Terms and Conditions . The grant of any Award under this Plan may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Award awarded to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, provisions for:

(i) one or more means to enable Participants to defer the delivery of Shares or recognition of taxable income relating to Awards or cash payments derived from the Awards on such terms and conditions as the Committee determines, including, by way of example, the form and manner of the deferral election, the treatment of dividends paid on the Shares during the deferral period or a means for providing a return to a Participant on amounts deferred, and the permitted distribution dates or events (provided that no such deferral means may result in an increase in the number of Shares issuable under this Plan);

(ii) the purchase of Shares under Options in installments;

(iii) the payment of the purchase price of Options by delivery of cash or other Shares or other securities of the Company (including by attestation) having a then Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price of such Shares, or by delivery (including by fax) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the Shares and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to pay for the exercise price;

(iv) giving the Participant the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to the Shares subject to the Award (both before and after the Shares subject to the Award are earned, vested or acquired), which payments may be either made currently or credited to an account for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Shares, as the Committee determines;

(v) restrictions on resale or other disposition; and

(vi) compliance with federal or state securities laws and stock exchange requirements.

(b) No Fractional Shares . No fractional Shares or other securities may be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan, and the Committee may determine whether cash, other securities or other property will be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or other securities, or whether such fractional Shares or other securities or any rights to fractional Shares or other securities will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

(c) Unfunded Plan . This Plan is unfunded and does not create, and should not be construed to create, a trust or separate fund with respect to this Plan’s benefits. This Plan does not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person.

(d) Requirements of Law . The granting of Awards under this Plan and the issuance of Shares in connection with an Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under this Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(e) Governing Law . This Plan, and all agreements under this Plan, should be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to any conflict of law principles.

(f) Severability . If any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement or any Award (i) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (ii) would disqualify this Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award under any law the Committee deems applicable, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan, Award Agreement or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction,

Exhibit 10.7(e)

THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC. 2004 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK AND AWARDS PLAN

Amended Effective February 27, 2007

Section 1. Purpose and Construction. (a) Purpose . The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 2004 Non-employee Director Stock and Awards Plan (the “Plan”) has

three complementary purposes: (a) to promote the long-term growth and financial success of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (the “Company”); (b) to induce, attract and retain highly experienced and qualified individuals to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”); and (c) to assist the Company in promoting a greater identity of interest between the Company’s non-employee directors (“Non-employee Directors”) and its shareholders. The Plan is designed to accomplish these goals by providing Non-employee Directors with incentives to increase shareholder value by offering the opportunity to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, receive incentives based on the value of such common stock, or receive other incentives on the potentially favorable terms that this Plan provides.

(b) Construction . Capitalized terms used in this Plan shall have the meanings set forth in Section 12, unless the context otherwise requires.

(c) Effective Date and Shareholder Approval . This Plan shall become effective only following its approval by the shareholders of the Company.

Section 2. Shares Reserved Under this Plan. (a) Plan Reserve . An aggregate of two-hundred and twenty-five thousand (225,000) Shares are reserved for issuance

under this Plan. The number of Shares covered by an Award under the Plan shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan. Any Shares delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury shares.

(b) Stock Split, Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split . In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split, of Shares, the number of Shares subject to this Plan (including the number and type of Shares that may be granted as Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or issued pursuant to Options, to a Participant in any fiscal year, and that may after the event be made the subject of Awards under this Plan) and the number Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the grant, purchase and exercise price with respect to any outstanding Awards, shall thereupon automatically be adjusted proportionately in a manner consistent with such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made under this Plan; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares must always be a whole number. In the event that any such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split would result in an outstanding Award consisting of any fractional Share(s), the Committee may cancel such fractional amount or grant an Award of an additional fractional amount so that there is no

Page 255: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

fraction amount or may make provision for a cash payment, in an amount determined by the Committee to the holder of the Award that would include a fractional Share, in exchange for the cancellation of such factional Share(s) (without any consent of the holder of any such fractional Share), effective as of the time the Committee specifies (which may be the time such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split, is effective).

(c) Other Adjustment of Shares . In addition to the non-discretionary adjustment provisions of Section 2(b), if the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, other securities, or other property, but not including a dividend of Shares which is governed by Section 2(b)), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (collectively referred to as “Events”) affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee may, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: (i) the number and type of Shares subject to the Plan and which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards under the Plan; (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards; and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any Option (collectively referred to as “Adjustments”); provided, however, that Awards subject to grant or previously granted to Non-employee Directors under the Plan at the time of any such Event shall be subject only to such Adjustments as shall be necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the Non-employee Directors and preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Awards; and provided further that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

(d) Predecessor Plan . After the Effective Date of this Plan, the 1999 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan will be frozen such that (i) no future awards will be granted under the 1999 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan, (ii) the 1999 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan will exist solely to govern grants of awards made prior to the Effective Date of this Plan, and (iii) any Shares that would have otherwise been available for new grants under the 1999 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan will not roll over into this Plan and thus will not be available for the purpose of granting Awards under this Plan.

(e) Replenishment of Shares Under this Plan . The number of Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares actually delivered in payment or settlement of Awards, including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. If an Award lapses, expires, terminates or is cancelled without the issuance of Shares under the Award, then the Shares subject to, reserved for or delivered in payment in respect of such Award may again be used for new Awards under this Plan. If Shares are issued under any Award and the Company subsequently reacquires them pursuant to rights reserved upon the issuance of the Shares, if Shares are used in connection with the satisfaction of tax obligations relating to an Award, or if previously owned Shares are delivered to the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Award, then the Shares subject to, reserved for or delivered in payment in respect of such Award may again be used for new Awards under this Plan.

Section 3. Plan Administration and Operation. (a) Administrative Authority . The Committee has full authority to administer this Plan, including the authority to

(i) interpret the provisions of this Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, (iii) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or agreement covering an Award in the manner and to the extent it deems desirable to carry this Plan into effect, and (iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

(b) Awards . The Committee has full authority to designate from time to time which Non-employee Directors shall receive Awards under this Plan. The Committee may consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting whether a Non-employee Director will receive any Award(s) and in determining the types and amounts of Awards and in setting any Performance Goals or other limitations. In making such selection and determination, factors the Committee may consider include, but will not be limited to: (a) the Company’s financial condition; (b) anticipated profits for the current or future years; (c) the Non-employee Director’s length of service on the Board; and (d) other fees that the Company provides or has agreed to provide to the Non-employee Director. The Committee’s decision to provide a Non-employee Director with an Award in any year will not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year.

(c) Committee Action and Delegation . A majority of the members of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and a majority of the Committee’s members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present must make all determinations of the Committee. The Committee may make any determination under this Plan without notice or meeting of the Committee by a writing that a majority of the Committee members have signed. To the extent applicable law permits, the Board may delegate to another committee of the Board any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee. If the Board has made such a delegation, then all references to the Committee in this Plan include such other committee or one or more officers to the extent of such delegation. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Committee may also authorize any one or more of their number or the Secretary or any other officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.

(d) Review of Committee Decisions . All Committee determinations are final and binding upon all interested parties and no reviewing court, agency or other tribunal shall overturn a decision of the Committee unless it first determines that the Committee acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner with respect to such decision.

(e) Committee Indemnification . No member of the Committee will be liable for any act done, or determination made, by the individual in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless all Committee members to the maximum extent that the law and the Company’s bylaws permit.

Section 4. Discretionary Grants of Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, including Section 7 below, the Committee has full power and authority to determine:

(a) the type or types of Awards to be

Page 257: Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, …d1lge852tjjqow.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000061986/8a4389d8-5b4e-41e1... · Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, ... a supplier

granted to each Non-employee Director (i.e., Options, Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units); (b) the number of Shares with respect to which an Award is granted to a Non-employee Director, if applicable; and (c) any other terms and conditions of any Award granted to a Non-employee Director. Awards under this Plan may be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award (or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or any Affiliate). The Committee may grant multiple Awards and different types of Awards (e.g., Options, Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units) to individual Non-employee Directors at the same time.

Section 5. Options. (a) Exercise Price of Options . For each Option, the Committee will establish the exercise price, which may not be less

than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option as determined on the date of grant. The Committee shall also determine the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which payment of the exercise price with respect to any Option may be made or deemed to have been made.

(b) Terms and Conditions of Options . Subject to the terms of the Plan, an Option will be exercisable at such times and subject to such conditions as the Committee specifies, including, but not limited to, any Performance Goals. Notwithstanding the preceding, each Option must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant.

Section 6. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms of the Plan, each award of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units may be subject to such

terms and conditions as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, a condition that one or more Performance Goals be achieved for the Non-employee Director to realize all or a portion of the benefit provided under the Award. However, any award of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units (regardless of whether such Award is conditioned upon any Performance Goals) must have a restriction period of at least three (3) years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Plan shall be payable only in Shares.

Section 7. Effect of Termination of Membership on the Board. (a) Award Limitations . Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(b) below, the Committee shall, in its discretion,

determine whether to impose any Award Agreement provisions or limitation concerning what will happen to any outstanding Award(s) when the Non-employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason. The restrictions under Section 7(b) and any other limitations imposed by the Committee under this Section 7(a) must be included in the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise stated under the Award Agreement, if a Non-employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other than the Non-employee Director’s retirement due to reaching the mandatory

retirement age established by the Board, or other than death or disability (as determined by the Committee), as to Awards held by that Non-employee Director on the effective date of such termination of Board membership, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine, all nonvested options and all Restricted Stock as to which all restrictions have not lapsed, and all Restricted Stock Units for which the Performance Goals have not been fully satisfied shall be immediately forfeited. Upon the retirement (due to reaching the mandatory retirement age established by the Board), death or disability of a Non-employee Director, all Options held by the Non-employee Director shall fully and immediately vest, all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock held by the Non-employee Director shall immediately lapse, and all Performance Goals with respect to Restricted Stock Units held by the Non-employee Director shall be deemed immediately satisfied. In such event or if If the Committee otherwise determines not to require immediate forfeiture upon the occurrence of some other event where the Non-employee director ceases to be a member of the Board, then the maximum exercise period which may be permitted for Options following such termination of Board membership shall be the shorter of one year or the scheduled expiration date of the Award.

(b) Fraud and Misconduct . Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or in any Award Agreement, if a Non-employee Director ceases being a director of the Company due to any of the following act(s), then all Awards previously granted to such Non-employee Director shall immediately be forfeited as of the date of the first such act: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (ii) embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company; or (iii) any other gross or willful misconduct as determined by the Committee, in its sole and conclusive discretion.

Section 8. Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, or as the Committee otherwise provides, each Award granted under this Plan is not

transferable by a Non-employee Director: (a) until such Option has been exercised and/or the limitations on the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units have lapsed or been satisfied; or (b) by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Non-employee Director such Awards may be exercised only by the Non-employee Director or the Non-employee Director’s legal representative or by the permitted transferee of such Non-employee Director as hereinafter provided (or by the legal representative of such permitted transferee). Unless otherwise prohibited by the Award Agreement, a Non-employee Director may transfer Awards to (i) his or her spouse, children or grandchildren (“Immediate Family Members”); (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; or (iii) a partnership in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners. The transfer will be effective only if the Non-employee Director receives no consideration for such transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred Awards are prohibited except transfers to those persons or entities to which the Non-employee Director could have transferred such Awards, or transfers otherwise in accordance with this Section.

Section 9. Amendment and Termination of the Plan and Awards.

(a) Term of Plan . This Plan will terminate on, and no Award may be granted after, the ten (10) year anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Board earlier terminates this Plan pursuant to Section 9(b).

(b) Termination and Amendment . The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan at any time, subject to shareholder approval if: (i) shareholder approval of such amendment(s) is required under the Exchange Act; (ii) shareholder approval of such amendment(s) is required under the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded (to maintain the listing or quotation of the Shares on that exchange); or (iii) the amendment will: [a] materially increase any number of Shares specified in Section 2(a) (except as permitted by Section 2(b)); [b] shorten the restriction periods specified in Section 6(b); or [c] modify the provisions of Section 9(e).

(c) Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards . Except as provided in Section 9(e) and subject to the requirements of this Plan, the Committee may waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or the exercise of the Award, and the Committee may modify, amend, or cancel any of the other terms and conditions applicable to any Awards by mutual agreement between the Committee and the Non-employee Director or any other persons as may then have an interest in the Award, so long as any amendment or modification does not increase the number of Shares issuable under this Plan (except as permitted by Section 2(b)), but the Committee need not obtain the Non-employee Director’s (or other interested party’s) consent for the cancellation of an Award pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Committee shall have sole discretion to alter the selected Performance Goals.

(d) Survival of Committee Authority and Awards . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Committee to administer this Plan and modify or amend an Award may extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination. In addition, termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Non-employee Directors with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards will continue in force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.

(e) Repricing Prohibited. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and except for the adjustments provided in Section 2(b), neither the Committee nor any other person may decrease the exercise price for any outstanding Option granted under this Plan after the date of grant nor allow a Non-employee Director to surrender an outstanding Option granted under this Plan to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option with a lower exercise price.

Section 10. Change of Control. Except to the extent the Committee provides a result more favorable to holders of Awards or as otherwise set forth in an Agreement covering an Award, in the event of a Change of Control, the following rules shall apply.

and (b) shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the change of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of the Option, an amount of cash equal to the excess of the Change of Control Price of the Shares covered by the Option that is so surrendered over the exercise price of such Shares under the Award;

(b) Restricted Stock . Restricted Stock that is not then vested shall vest upon the date of the Change of Control and each holder of such Restricted Stock shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Change of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of such Restricted Stock, an amount of cash equal to the Change of Control Price of such Restricted Stock;

(b) No Fractional Shares .

(c) Requirements of Law . The granting of Awards under this Plan and the issuance of Shares in connection with an Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

(e) Severability .

(g) No Right to Remain on Board . The grant of an Award to a Non-employee Director pursuant to the Plan shall confer no right on such Non-employee Director to continue as a director of the Company.

(h) “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and as interpreted by applicable regulations, rulings, notices and other similar guidance.

The Director shall have no interest in Shares covered by this Agreement until certificates for the Shares are issued.

# ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL. The number and type of Shares subject to this Agreement and any Option exercise price may be adjusted, or this Award may be completely or partially assumed, cancelled or otherwise changed, in the event of certain transactions, as provided in the Plan, including, without limitation, Sections 2(b) and 10 of the Plan. Upon a Change of Control, the rules set forth in Section 10 of the Plan shall govern this Agreement. The grant of any Award under this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s or any subsidiary’s capital structure or its business, or any merger, consolidation or business combination of the Company or any subsidiary, or any issuance or modification of any term, condition, or covenant of any bond, debenture, debt, preferred stock or other instrument ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights of the holders of Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the

Company or any subsidiary, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other Company or subsidiary act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

# AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION.

# LIMITED INTEREST. The Director shall have no rights as a stockholder as a result of the grant of any Award under this Agreement until the Director receives unrestricted Shares issued (via certificate, electronically or by any other permissible means) {NOTE—INCLUDE ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, AS APPROPRIATE} : (a) after exercising an Option; (b) after all restrictions lapse on Restricted Stock; or (c) upon maturation of a Restricted Stock Unit. The grant of any Award and the execution of this Agreement shall not confer on the Director any right to continue as a member of the Board, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to remove the Director from the Board at any time.

# GOVERNING LAW. The granting of Awards under this Agreement and the issuance of Shares in connection with any such Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or Plan, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. This Agreement and the Plan will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to any conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, to the Plan, to any Award or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect to this Agreement, to the Plan or any Award may be brought and determined only in a court sitting in the County of Manitowoc, or the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin sitting in the County of Milwaukee, in the State of Wisconsin.

# SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, of the Plan or any Award (a) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (b) would disqualify this Agreement, the Plan or any Award under any law the Committee deems applicable, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Agreement, the Plan or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this Agreement, the Plan and such Award will remain in full force and effect.

# COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
