Each Borrower hereby ratifies, affirms, acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the valid, enforceable and collectible obligations of Borrowers, and further acknowledges that there are no existing claims, defenses, personal or otherwise, or rights of setoff whatsoever with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower hereby agrees that this Amendment in no way acts as a release or relinquishment of the Liens and rights securing payments of the Obligations. The Liens and rights securing payment of the Obligations are hereby ratified and confirmed by each Borrower in all respects.
4. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, each in form and substance acceptable to Agent:
(a) Agent shall have received a copy of this Amendment in form and substance acceptable to Agent executed by Borrowers, Agent and Supermajority Lenders;
(b) Agent shall have received a copy of the Consent and Reaffirmation attached hereto executed by each Guarantor; and
(c) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date hereof.
7

5. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders on the date hereof that:
(a) All representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of this Amendment, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date);
(b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of this Amendment; and
(c) This Amendment, and the Credit Agreement as modified hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower and are enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Expenses. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all Lender Group Expenses of Agent (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of outside counsel for Agent) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Amendment and all other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. All obligations provided herein shall survive any termination of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
(b) Governing Law. This Amendment shall be a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. The choice of law and venue, and jury trial waiver provisions set forth in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and shall apply in all respects to this Amendment.
(c) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on the same or separate counterparts, and each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.
(d) Loan Document. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Amendment is a Loan Document.
7. SPE Bank Account Listed on Schedules to US Security Agreement and Perfection Certificate. Borrowers have notified Agent and Lenders that Schedule 9 to the US
8

Security Agreement and Schedule 13 to the Perfection Certificate delivered by Borrowers on the Closing Date (the "Closing Perfection Certificate") incorrectly list Deposit Account number 4126129287 established with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Subject Deposit Account") as a Deposit Account of Grove, when the Subject Deposit Account is actually a Deposit Account of the SPE (which is not a Loan Party). Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) Schedule 9 to the US Security Agreement and Schedule 13 to Closing Perfection Certificate are hereby deemed to be amended to delete the reference to the reference Subject Deposit Account therefrom, and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred or be in existence by virtue of the inclusion of the Subject Deposit Account on such Schedule 9 to the US Security Agreement and Schedule 13 to the Closing Perfection Certificate on the Closing Date.
8. Covenant to Deliver Amendment to German Account Pledge Agreement. In consideration of the agreements of Agent and Lenders set forth herein, Borrowers hereby agree to deliver to Agent within 30 days following the date hereof (or such later date as may be agreed by Agent in its sole discretion) a fully executed amendment to the Account Pledge Agreement dated as of the Closing Date by and between Agent and German Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent to reflect the amendments to the cash management requirements of the German Loan Parties affected by the revisions to Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement effected by this Amendment as determined to be applicable by the Agent (and the Lenders authorize Agent to enter into such amendment to such Account Pledge Agreement). The failure of Borrowers to satisfy the covenant set forth in this Section 9 shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
9. Covenant to Deliver Information Regarding In-Transit Equipment During the Crane Manufacturing Transition. Concurrently with the delivery by Borrowers of a Borrowing Base Certificate as required by Schedule 5.2 of the Credit Agreement within 20 days after the end of the month ending October 31, 2016, Borrowers shall deliver a schedule or other information to Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, reflecting the Borrowers' contemplated timeline for moving the Equipment of Borrowers from the real property owned by Cranes located at 2401 S. 30th St., Manitowoc, Wisconsin in connection with the Crane Manufacturing Transition, along with indications of the average and peak amounts of Equipment that will be in-transit during the Crane Manufacturing Transition in order to permit Agent to calculate the Reserve contemplated by clause (c) of the definition of the term Eligible Equipment during the Crane Manufacturing Transition. Thereafter, until the completion of the Crane Manufacturing Transition, concurrently with the delivery by Borrowers of each subsequent Borrowing Base Certificate (unless Agent has elected with written notice to Borrowers pursuant to the parenthetical in clause (c) of the definition of the term Eligible Equipment that the US Borrowing Base and US Fixed Asset Availability shall no longer be calculated pursuant to such parenthetical), Borrowers shall deliver to Agent either (x) a written certification from an officer of a US Borrower that the most recent information provided by Borrowers to Agent with respect to the timeline and average daily amounts of Equipment that is in-transit in connection with the Crane Manufacturing Transition remains substantially accurate and that the existing Reserve maintained against the US Borrowing Base pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of the term Eligible Equipment continues to approximately reflect 85% of the average daily Net Orderly Liquidation Value of such in-transit Equipment of the US Loan Parties pursuant to the Crane Manufacturing Transition that would otherwise constitute Eligible Equipment, or (y) updated information in form and substance satisfactory to Agent regarding the status of the Crane Manufacturing Transition and then-current and subsequently contemplated average and peak amounts of Equipment that will be in-transit during the Crane Manufacturing Transition in order
9

to permit Agent to recalculate the Reserve contemplated by clause (c) of the definition of the term Eligible Equipment during the Crane Manufacturing Transition.
