3.3. Tax Reporting Practices. 

(a) Manitowoc ParentCo General Rule. Except as provided in Section 3.3(c), Manitowoc ParentCo shall prepare any Tax
Return for a Pre-Distribution Period which it has the obligation and right to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, under Section 3.1, using past practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions (“Past
Practices”) used with respect to the Tax Returns in question (unless there is no reasonable basis for the use of such Past Practices), and to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices (or in the event that there is no reasonable
basis for the use of such Past Practices), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Manitowoc ParentCo. 

(b) SpinCo General Rule. Except as provided in Section 3.3(c), with respect to any Tax Return that SpinCo has the
obligation and right to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed for a Pre-Distribution Period, under Section 3.2, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with Past Practices used with respect to the Tax Returns in question
(unless there is no reasonable basis for the use of such Past Practices), and to the extent any items are not covered by Past 

  
 14 








 
Practices (or in the event that there is no reasonable basis for the use of such Past Practices), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by SpinCo. 

(c) Reporting of Separation Transactions. The Tax treatment of the Separation Transactions reported on any Tax Return
shall be consistent with the treatment thereof in the Tax Opinion and Internal Reorganization Step Plan, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed, unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment. Such
treatment reported on any Tax Return for which SpinCo is the Responsible Company shall be consistent with that on any Tax Return filed or to be filed by Manitowoc ParentCo or any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group or caused or to be caused to be
filed by Manitowoc ParentCo, unless there is no reasonable basis for such Tax treatment. In the event that a Company shall determine that there is no reasonable basis for the Tax treatment described in either of the preceding two sentences, such
Company shall notify the other Company twenty (20) Business Days prior to filing the relevant Tax Return and the Companies shall attempt in good faith to agree on the manner in which the relevant portion of the Separation Transactions shall be
reported. 
 3.4. Consolidated or Combined Tax Returns. SpinCo shall elect and join, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to
elect and join, in filing any Joint Returns that Manitowoc ParentCo determines are required to be filed or that Manitowoc ParentCo elects to file pursuant to Section 3.1(a). 

3.5. Right to Review Tax Returns. 

(a) General. The Responsible Company with respect to any material Tax Return shall make the portion of such Tax Return
and related workpapers which are relevant to the determination of the other Company’s rights or obligations under this Agreement available for review by the other Company, if requested, to the extent: (i) such Tax Return relates to Taxes
for which the requesting party would reasonably be expected to be liable, (ii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes and the requesting party would reasonably be expected to be liable in whole or in part for any additional Taxes owing as a result of
adjustments to the amount of such Taxes reported on such Tax Return, (iii) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which the requesting party would reasonably be expected to have a claim for Tax Benefits under this Agreement, or (iv) the
requesting party reasonably determines that it must inspect such Tax Return to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Responsible Company shall: (i) notify the non-responsible party of the Tax Return at least fifteen
(15) days before the filing date, and (ii) use reasonable efforts to have such Tax Return modified before filing, taking into account the person responsible for payment of the Tax (if any) reported on such Tax Return and whether the amount
of Tax liability allocable to the requesting party with respect to such Tax Return is material. The Companies shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Tax Return. 

  
 15 








 (b) Material Tax Returns. For purposes of Section 3.5(a), a Tax
Return is “material” if it could reasonably be expected to reflect (i) Tax liability equal to or in excess of $500,000, (ii) a credit or credits equal to or in excess of $500,000 or (iii) a loss or losses equal to or in
excess of $1.5 million, in each case with respect to the requesting party. 
 3.6. SpinCo Carrybacks and Claims for Refund. SpinCo
hereby agrees that, unless Manitowoc ParentCo consents in writing, (i) no Adjustment Request with respect to any Tax Return for a pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period shall be filed, and (ii) any available elections to waive the
right to claim in any Pre-Distribution Period with respect to any Tax Return any SpinCo Carryback arising in a Post-Distribution Period shall be made, and no affirmative election shall be made to claim any such SpinCo Carryback. 

3.7. Apportionment of Tax Attributes. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), Manitowoc ParentCo may in good faith advise SpinCo in writing of the amount, if any,
of any Tax Attributes, which Manitowoc ParentCo determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be allocated or apportioned to the SpinCo Group under applicable law, or may provide SpinCo relevant information for making such determination on
an as-is basis, provided that this Section 3.7(a) shall not be construed as obligating Manitowoc ParentCo to undertake any such determination or provide any such information. For the avoidance of doubt, Manitowoc ParentCo makes no
representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any such determination or information. SpinCo and all members of the SpinCo Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with any such determination. SpinCo may request that
Manitowoc ParentCo undertake a determination of the portion, if any, of any particular Tax Attribute to be allocated or apportioned to the SpinCo Group under applicable law; to the extent that Manitowoc ParentCo determines, in its sole and absolute
discretion, not to undertake such determination, or does not otherwise advise SpinCo of its intention to undertake such determination within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of such request, SpinCo shall be permitted to undertake such
determination at its own cost and expense and shall notify Manitowoc ParentCo of its determination, which determination shall not be binding upon Manitowoc ParentCo. In the event that Manitowoc ParentCo does determine a Tax Attribute and SpinCo
disagrees with the determination, the dispute shall be addressed by Article XI with the proviso that if SpinCo disagrees with Manitowoc ParentCo’s calculation and wants to pursue its rights under Section 11.2, it must provide written
notice within forty-five days of its receipt of Manitowoc ParentCo’s calculation. SpinCo agrees that if it does not exercise its rights under Article XI, it shall not subsequently dispute or take a position contrary to Manitowoc ParentCo’s
allocation or apportionment of Tax Attributes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the avoidance of doubt, Manitowoc ParentCo shall bear no liability to SpinCo for determinations made by Manitowoc ParentCo pursuant to this
Section 3.7(a) if any such determination shall be found or asserted to be inaccurate. 

  
 16 








 (b) Manitowoc ParentCo shall provide SpinCo with a calculation of any overall
foreign loss (within the meaning of Section 904(f)(2) of the Code) or separate limitation loss (within the meaning of Section 904(f)(5)(E)(iii) of the Code) allocable to any member of the SpinCo Group within six (6) months following
the month in which the Distribution occurs or November 30, 2016, whichever is later. SpinCo shall have thirty (30) days to review and comment on Manitowoc ParentCo’s computation. Any dispute shall be addressed by Article XI, with the
proviso that if SpinCo disagrees with Manitowoc ParentCo’s calculation and wants to pursue its rights under Section 11.2, it must provide written notice within forty-five days of its receipt of Manitowoc ParentCo’s calculation. 

3.8. Signing of Returns Prepared by the Other Party. In the event that a Company is legally required to sign a Tax Return but is not
the Responsible Company, the Company shall nevertheless sign the Tax Return prepared by the Responsible Company unless a material position taken on such Tax Return does not have substantial authority as that term is defined under Section 6662
of the Code. 
 ARTICLE IV

Article II, and if SpinCo is the Responsible Company, then Manitowoc ParentCo shall pay to SpinCo the amount allocable to the Manitowoc ParentCo Group under the provisions of Article II, in each case, plus interest computed at the Applicable

shall pay SpinCo any amount due SpinCo) under Article II within twenty (20) Business Days from the later of (i) the date the additional Tax was paid by the Responsible Company or (ii) the date of receipt of a written notice and demand
from the Responsible Company for payment of the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Any payments required under this
Section 4.1(c) shall include interest computed at the Applicable Interest Rate based on the number of days from the date the additional Tax was paid by the Responsible Company to the date of the payment under this Section 4.1(c).

invoice for the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. The reimbursement shall include interest on the Tax payment computed at the
Applicable Interest Rate based on the number of days from the date of the payment to the Tax Authority to the date of reimbursement under this Section 4.3. 

(b) All indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be made by Manitowoc ParentCo directly to SpinCo and by SpinCo
directly to Manitowoc ParentCo; provided, however, that if the Companies mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any
member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 10.1.

 ARTICLE V 

TAX REFUNDS AND CORRELATIVE TAX BENEFITS AND SPINCO CARRYBACKS 

5.1. Tax Refunds. Manitowoc ParentCo shall be entitled to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax
Authority) of Taxes for which Manitowoc ParentCo is liable hereunder, SpinCo shall be entitled (subject to the limitations provided in Section 3.6) to any refund (and any interest thereon received from the applicable Tax Authority) of Taxes for
which SpinCo is liable hereunder and a Company receiving a refund to which another Company is entitled hereunder shall pay over such refund to such other Company within twenty (20) Business Days after such refund is received (together with
interest computed at the Applicable Interest Rate based on the number of days from the date the refund was received to the date the refund was paid over). 

5.2. Correlative Tax Benefits. 

(a) If: (i) a member of the SpinCo Group realizes an increase in a Tax Attribute as a result of an adjustment pursuant to
a Final Determination that increases Taxes for which a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group), or (ii) if a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group
realizes an increase in a Tax Attribute as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination that increases Taxes for which a member of the SpinCo Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a member of the SpinCo Group);
and such Tax Attribute would not have arisen but for such adjustment or reporting (determined on a “with and without” basis), SpinCo or Manitowoc ParentCo, as the case may be, shall make a payment to either Manitowoc ParentCo or SpinCo, as
appropriate, within 90 days following notice of such Final Determination, in an amount equal to the estimated cash Tax Benefit resulting from the realization of the Tax Attribute, based on the forecasted realization of the increased Tax Attribute,
calculated at a reasonable Federal and state tax rate and present valued at the Applicable Interest Rate. The intention of this provision is to reduce the administration associated with reporting the realization of the cash Tax Benefit described in
Section 5.2(b) for an increase in a Tax Attribute resulting from a Final Determination. 
 (b) If: (i) a member of
the SpinCo Group actually realizes in cash any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination that increases Taxes for which a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a
member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group), or (ii) if a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group actually realizes in cash any Tax Benefit as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination that increases Taxes for which a member of the
SpinCo Group is liable hereunder (or reduces any Tax Attribute of a member of the SpinCo Group); and such Tax Benefit would not have arisen but for such adjustment or reporting (determined on a “with and without” basis) and has not already
been addressed under Section 5.2(a), SpinCo or Manitowoc ParentCo, as the case may be, shall make a payment to either Manitowoc ParentCo or SpinCo, as 

  
 19 








 
appropriate, within 90 days following such actual realization of the Tax Benefit, in an amount equal to such Tax Benefit actually realized in cash (including any Tax Benefit actually realized as
a result of the payment), plus interest on such amount computed at the Applicable Interest Rate based on the number of days from the date of such actual realization of the Tax Benefit to the date of payment of such amount under this section. 

(c) In no event shall one Group be required to pay an amount equal to the correlative Tax Benefit to the other Group under this
Section 5.2 that exceeds the actual Tax that gave rise to the correlative Tax Benefit. 
 5.3. SpinCo Carrybacks. SpinCo shall
be entitled to any refund that is attributable to, and would not have arisen but for, a SpinCo Carryback permitted pursuant to Section 3.6; provided, however, SpinCo shall indemnify and hold the members of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group harmless
from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Carryback, including (but not limited to) the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the Manitowoc
ParentCo Group or an Affiliate thereof if (i) such Tax Attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carryback, or (ii) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later Tax Period than the Tax Period in
which such Tax Attributes would have been utilized but for such Carryback. Any such payment of such refund made by Manitowoc ParentCo to SpinCo pursuant to this section shall be recalculated in light of any Final Determination (or any other facts
that may arise or come to light after such payment is made, such as a carryback of a Manitowoc ParentCo Group Tax Attribute to a Tax Period in respect of which such refund is received) that would affect the amount to which SpinCo is entitled, and an
appropriate adjusting payment shall be made by SpinCo to Manitowoc ParentCo such that the aggregate amount paid pursuant to this section equals such recalculated amount (with interest computed at the Applicable Interest Rate). 

ARTICLE VI

not take or fail to take, and shall not permit any SpinCo Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect (i) the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution and the

Date until the first Business Day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution 

  
 20 








 
Date, SpinCo shall (i) maintain its status as a company engaged in the Active Trade or Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code; (ii) not engage in any transaction
that would result in it ceasing to be a company engaged in the Active Trade or Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code; (iii) cause each SpinCo Affiliate, whose activities are relied upon in the Tax Opinion for purposes of
qualifying a transaction as tax-free pursuant to Section 355 of the Code or other Tax Law, to maintain its status as a company engaged in such Active Trade or Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code and any such other
applicable Tax Law; (iv) not engage in any transaction or permit a SpinCo Affiliate to engage in any transaction that would result in them ceasing to be engaged in the relevant Active Trade or Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of
the Code or such other applicable Tax Law, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code for purposes of clauses (i) through (iv); (v) not dispose of or permit a SpinCo Affiliate to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any interest
in a SpinCo Affiliate described in clause (iii), or permit any such SpinCo Affiliate to make or revoke any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3, and (vi) except as provided in Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(d), not sell,
transfer or dispose of any stock or assets constituting more than 25% of the gross assets of the SpinCo Group (measured as of the Distribution Date) to a Person that is not part of SpinCo’s separate affiliated group as defined in
Section 355(b)(3) of the Code. The foregoing shall not prevent SpinCo from using its cash or cash equivalents to repay debt, acquire an unrelated company or make distributions to its shareholders. 

(c) Proposed Acquisition Transaction. From the Distribution Date until the first Business Day after the two-year
anniversary of the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall not, and shall not permit any SpinCo Affiliate to, (i) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction,
permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur (whether by (a) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (b) finding a tender offer to be a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to
be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, (c) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL or any similar corporate statute, any “fair
price” or other provision of SpinCo’s charter or bylaws, (d) amending its certificate of incorporation to declassify its Board of Directors or approving any such amendment, or otherwise), (ii) merge or consolidate with any other
Person or liquidate or partially liquidate, (iii) in a single transaction or series of transactions sell or transfer (other than sales or transfers of inventory in the ordinary course of business) all or substantially all of the assets that
were transferred to SpinCo pursuant to the Contribution or sell or transfer 25% or more of the gross assets of any Active Trade or Business or 25% or more of the consolidated gross assets of SpinCo and its Affiliates (the denominator of such
percentages to be measured based on fair market value of SpinCo’s assets as of the Distribution Date), (iv) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through a SpinCo Affiliate) any SpinCo stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the

Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (v) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents),
or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of SpinCo Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of SpinCo Capital Stock into another class of SpinCo
Capital Stock), or (vi) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Representation Letters or the Tax Opinion) which in the
aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this Section 6.1(c)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or
indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in SpinCo or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status, unless prior to taking any such action set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), (A) SpinCo shall have
requested that Manitowoc ParentCo obtain a Ruling in accordance with Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(d) to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status and Manitowoc ParentCo shall have received such a Ruling in form
and substance satisfactory to Manitowoc ParentCo in its sole and absolute discretion, or (B) SpinCo shall provide Manitowoc ParentCo with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Manitowoc ParentCo in its sole and
absolute discretion (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Manitowoc ParentCo may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representations if used as a basis for the
opinion, and Manitowoc ParentCo may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to Manitowoc ParentCo), or (C) Manitowoc ParentCo shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. Manitowoc ParentCo shall not
be required to take any action related to obtaining a Ruling unless and until SpinCo has provided to Manitowoc ParentCo an opinion reasonably acceptable to Manitowoc ParentCo from a Tax Advisor to the effect that the outcome of the ruling process
should be favorable. In all events, prior to obtaining either the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion referred to herein, SpinCo shall consult with Manitowoc ParentCo. 

(d) Certain Acquisitions of SpinCo Capital Stock. If SpinCo proposes to enter into any Section 6.1(d) Acquisition
Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Section 6.1(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 6.1(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the period from the Effective Date
until the first Business Day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, SpinCo shall provide Manitowoc ParentCo, no later than ten Business Days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to the Section 6.1(d)
Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of SpinCo Capital Stock to be issued in such transaction) and a certificate of the Board of Directors of SpinCo to the effect that the
Section 6.1(d) Acquisition Transaction is not a Proposed Acquisition Transaction or any other transaction to which the requirements of Section 6.1(c) apply (a “Board Certificate”). 

  
 22 








 (e) SpinCo Internal Restructuring. SpinCo shall not engage in, and shall
not cause or permit, any internal restructuring (including by making or revoking any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3) involving a member of the SpinCo Group including any contribution, sale, or other transfer (not
including sales in the ordinary course of business) of any of the assets contributed to SpinCo as described in the Separation Agreement (any such action, an “Internal Restructuring”), during or with respect to any Tax Period (or
portion thereof) ending on or prior to the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date unless SpinCo first consults with Manitowoc ParentCo regarding any such proposed actions reasonably in advance of taking any such proposed actions and considers
in good faith any comments from Manitowoc ParentCo relating thereto. 
 (f) Gain Recognition Agreements. SpinCo shall
not (i) take any action (including, but not limited to, the sale or disposition of any stock, securities, or other assets), (ii) permit any member of the SpinCo Group to take any such action, (iii) fail to take any action, or
(iv) permit any member of the SpinCo Group to fail to take any action, in each case that would cause Manitowoc ParentCo or any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group to recognize gain under any Gain Recognition Agreement. In addition, SpinCo
shall file, and shall cause any member of the SpinCo Group to file, any Gain Recognition Agreement reasonably requested by Manitowoc ParentCo which Gain Recognition Agreement is determined by Manitowoc ParentCo to be necessary so as to
(i) allow for or preserve the tax-free or tax-deferred nature, in whole or part, of any Separation Transaction, or (ii) avoid Manitowoc ParentCo or any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group recognizing gain under any Gain Recognition
Agreement. 
 6.2. Restrictions on Manitowoc ParentCo. Manitowoc ParentCo shall not take or fail to take, and shall not permit any
Manitowoc ParentCo Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action (i) where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in any Representation Letters or
the Tax Opinion, or (ii) which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect (A) the Tax-Free Status of the Contribution and the Distribution, or (B) the qualification of any Separation Transaction under U.S.
federal, state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law as tax free from so qualifying; provided, however, that this Section 6.2 shall not be construed as obligating Manitowoc ParentCo to consummate the Distribution nor shall it be construed as preventing
Manitowoc ParentCo from terminating the Separation Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, SpinCo’s sole recourse for violations of this Section 6.2 shall be as set forth in
Section 6.4(b). 
 6.3. Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings. 

(a) Notified Actions. If SpinCo notifies Manitowoc ParentCo that it desires to take one of the actions described in
clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 6.1(c) (a “Notified Action”), Manitowoc ParentCo and SpinCo shall reasonably cooperate to attempt to obtain the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion referred to in Section 6.1(c),
unless Manitowoc ParentCo shall have waived the requirement to obtain such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. 

  
 23 








 (b) Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at SpinCo’s Request.
Manitowoc ParentCo agrees that at the reasonable request of SpinCo pursuant to Section 6.1(c), Manitowoc ParentCo shall cooperate with SpinCo and use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a Ruling from the IRS or
an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting SpinCo to take the Notified Action. Further, in no event shall Manitowoc ParentCo be required to file any Ruling Request under this Section 6.3(b), and Manitowoc ParentCo shall not file
any Ruling Request under this Section 6.3(b), unless SpinCo represents that (A) it has read the Ruling Request, and (B) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the SpinCo Group, contained in the Ruling
Request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct, and complete. Within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from Manitowoc ParentCo therefor, SpinCo shall reimburse Manitowoc ParentCo for all reasonable costs and
expenses, including expenses relating to the utilization of Manitowoc ParentCo personnel, incurred by the Manitowoc ParentCo Group in obtaining a Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by SpinCo. 

(c) Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at Manitowoc ParentCo’s Request. Manitowoc ParentCo shall have the right to
obtain a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Manitowoc ParentCo determines to obtain a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, SpinCo shall (and shall cause each Affiliate of SpinCo to) cooperate
with Manitowoc ParentCo and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Manitowoc ParentCo in connection with obtaining the Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing
any materials or information requested by the IRS or Tax Advisor; provided that SpinCo shall not be required to make (or cause any Affiliate of SpinCo to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future
matters or events over which it has no control). Within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from SpinCo therefor, Manitowoc ParentCo shall reimburse SpinCo for all reasonable costs and expenses, including expenses relating to the
utilization of SpinCo personnel, incurred by the SpinCo Group in connection with such cooperation. 
 (d) Ruling
Process. SpinCo hereby agrees that Manitowoc ParentCo shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining any Ruling, and that only Manitowoc ParentCo shall apply for a Ruling. In connection with obtaining a Ruling pursuant to
Section 6.3(b): (i) Manitowoc ParentCo shall keep SpinCo informed in a timely manner of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by Manitowoc ParentCo in connection therewith; (ii) Manitowoc ParentCo shall
(1) reasonably in advance of the submission of any Ruling Request documents provide SpinCo with a draft copy thereof, (2) reasonably consider SpinCo’s comments on such draft copy, and (3) provide SpinCo with a final copy;


  
 24 








 
and (iii) Manitowoc ParentCo shall provide SpinCo with notice reasonably in advance of, and SpinCo shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS (subject to
the approval of the IRS) that relate to such Ruling. Neither SpinCo nor any SpinCo Affiliate directly or indirectly controlled by SpinCo shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any
time concerning the Contribution or the Distribution (including the impact of any transaction on the Contribution or the Distribution). 

6.4. Liability for Tax-Related Losses. 

(a) SpinCo Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary (and in
each case regardless of whether a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion, or waiver described in clause (A), (B), or (C) of Section 6.1(c) may have been provided, regardless of whether Manitowoc ParentCo may have consented to an Internal
Restructuring, and regardless of whether an action may be required by law), subject to Section 6.4(c), SpinCo shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Manitowoc ParentCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective
officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition (other than pursuant to the Contribution
or the Distribution) of all or a portion of SpinCo’s stock and/or its or its subsidiaries’ assets by any means whatsoever by any Person; (B) any negotiations, understandings, agreements, or arrangements by SpinCo with respect to
transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or events) that cause the
Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of SpinCo representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein; (C) any action or failure to act by SpinCo after the
Distribution (including, without limitation, any amendment to SpinCo’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise) affecting the voting rights of SpinCo stock (including,
without limitation, through the conversion of one class of SpinCo Capital Stock into another class of SpinCo Capital Stock); (D) any act or failure to act by SpinCo or any SpinCo Affiliate described in Section 6.1 (regardless whether such
act or failure to act may be required by law or may be covered by a Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion, or waiver described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.1(c), a Board Certificate described in Section 6.1(d), a consent
described in Section 6.1(e)); or (E) any breach by SpinCo of its agreement and representation set forth in Section 6.1(a) or its representations set forth in Section 6.5. 

(b) Manitowoc ParentCo Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the
contrary, subject to Section 6.4(c), Manitowoc ParentCo shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors


  
 25 








 
and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses that are attributable to, or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition
(other than pursuant to the Contribution or the Distribution) of all or a portion of Manitowoc ParentCo’s stock and/or its assets by any means whatsoever by any Person; (B) any negotiations, agreements, or arrangements by Manitowoc
ParentCo with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a series of such transactions or
events) that cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of Manitowoc ParentCo representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein; (C) any act or
failure to act by Manitowoc ParentCo or a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group described in Section 6.2 or any breach by Manitowoc ParentCo of its agreement and representation set forth in Section 6.2, limited, in each case, to
Tax-Related Losses arising from Taxes of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group for which a SpinCo Entity is found jointly, severally, or secondarily liable pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or similar provisions of
state, local or foreign Tax law). 
 (c) Computation of Liability. 

(i) To the extent that any Tax-Related Loss is subject to indemnity under both Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(b),
responsibility for such Tax-Related Loss shall be shared by Manitowoc ParentCo and SpinCo according to relative fault. 

(1) Notwithstanding Section 6.4(b) or 6.4(c)(i), with respect to (I) any Tax-Related Loss resulting from
Section 355(e) of the Code (other than as a result of an acquisition of a Fifty Percent or Greater Interest in Manitowoc ParentCo) and (II) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the avoidance of doubt, in whole or in part) from an
acquisition after the Distribution of any stock or assets of SpinCo (or any SpinCo Affiliate) by any means whatsoever by any Person or any action or failure to act by SpinCo affecting the voting rights of SpinCo stock, SpinCo shall be responsible
for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Manitowoc ParentCo and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of such Tax-Related Losses. 

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(c)(i), with respect to (I) any
Tax-Related Loss resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code (other than as a result of an acquisition of a Fifty Percent or Greater Interest in SpinCo) and (II) any other Tax-Related Loss resulting (for the avoidance of doubt, in whole or in
part) from an acquisition after the Distribution of any stock or assets of Manitowoc ParentCo (or any 

  
 26 








 
Manitowoc ParentCo Affiliate) by any means whatsoever by any Person, Manitowoc ParentCo shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo and its Affiliates and each of their
respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of such Tax-Related Losses. 

(ii) For purposes of calculating the amount and timing of any Tax-Related Loss for which a Company is responsible under this
Section 6.4, Tax-Related Losses shall be calculated by assuming that Tax is paid at the highest marginal corporate Tax rates in effect for the relevant entity in each relevant taxable year and there are no Tax Attributes available in any
relevant taxable year. Each Company shall have the right to review the computation of any Tax-Related Losses prepared by the other Company. 

(d) Payment of Tax-Related Losses. SpinCo shall pay Manitowoc ParentCo the amount of any Tax-Related Losses for which
SpinCo is responsible under this Section 6.4: (A) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (i) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, no later than two Business Days prior to the date Manitowoc ParentCo files, or causes
to be filed, the applicable Tax Return for the year of the Contribution or Distribution, as applicable (the “Filing Date”) (provided that if such Tax-Related Losses arise pursuant to a Final Determination described in clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of the definition of Final Determination, then SpinCo shall pay Manitowoc ParentCo no later than two Business Days after the later of the date of such Final Determination or the date Manitowoc ParentCo provides notice of such
determination to SpinCo) , and (B) in the case of Tax-Related Losses described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax-Related Losses, no later than two Business Days after the later of the date Manitowoc ParentCo pays such
Tax-Related Losses or the date that Manitowoc provides notice of payment to SpinCo. Manitowoc ParentCo shall pay SpinCo the amount of any Tax-Related Losses described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Tax-Related Loss for which
Manitowoc ParentCo is responsible under this Section 6.4 no later than two Business Days after the later of the date that SpinCo pays such Tax-Related Losses or the date that SpinCo provides notice of payment to Manitowoc ParentCo. 

(e) Section 336(e) Election. If Manitowoc ParentCo determines, in its sole discretion, that a Section 336(e)
Election shall be made with respect to the Distribution, SpinCo shall (and shall cause the relevant member of the SpinCo Group to) join with Manitowoc ParentCo or the relevant member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group in the making of such election and
shall take any action reasonably requested by Manitowoc ParentCo or that is otherwise necessary to give effect to such election (including making any other related election). If a Section 336(e) Election is made with respect to the
Distribution, then, in the event the Contribution and Distribution fail to have Tax-Free Status and Manitowoc ParentCo is not entitled to indemnification for the Tax-Related Losses arising from such failure, SpinCo shall pay to Manitowoc ParentCo
any Tax Benefits actually realized in cash by the SpinCo Group or any member of the 

  
 27 








 
SpinCo Group arising from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election; provided, such amounts payable shall be reduced by all reasonable costs incurred by SpinCo to
amend any Tax Returns or other governmental filings related to such Section 336(e) Election. 
 6.5. Representations. 

(a) Each of Manitowoc ParentCo and SpinCo hereby represents and warrants that: (A) it has reviewed the Representation
Letters, and (B) subject to any qualifications therein, all information, representations and covenants contained in such Representation Letters that relate to such Company or any member of its Group are true, correct and complete. 

(b) SpinCo hereby represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and at the Distribution Date that it has no plan or
intention of taking any action, or failing to take any action (or causing or permitting any member of its Group to take or fail to take any action), in each case, from and after the Distribution Date that could reasonably be expected to cause any
representation or factual statement made in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Representation Letters or any of the Ancillary Agreements to be untrue. 

(c) SpinCo hereby represents and warrants that, during the two-year period ending on the Distribution Date, there was no
“agreement, understanding or arrangement, substantial negotiations or discussions” (as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(h)) by any one or more officers or directors of any member of the SpinCo Group or by
any other person or persons with the implicit or explicit permission of one or more of such officers or directors regarding an acquisition of all or a significant portion of the SpinCo Capital Stock (or any predecessor), provided however, that no
representation is made regarding any such “agreement, understanding, arrangement, substantial negotiations or discussions” (as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(h)) by any one or more officers, directors,
or controlling shareholders of any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group (or another person with the implicit or explicit permission of one or more of such persons). 

ARTICLE VII 
 ASSISTANCE
AND COOPERATION 
 7.1. Assistance and Cooperation. 

(a) The Companies shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each
other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Companies and their Affiliates including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and
amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any refund of Taxes, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in


  
 28 








 
respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. Such cooperation shall include making all information and documents in their possession relating to the other Company and its Affiliates
available to such other Company as provided in Article VIII. Each of the Companies shall also make available to the other, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the Companies or
their respective Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection
with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. In the event that a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group, on the one hand, or a member of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, suffers a Tax detriment as a result of a Transfer
Pricing Adjustment, the Companies shall cooperate pursuant to this Article VII to seek any competent authority relief that may be available with respect to such Transfer Pricing Adjustment. SpinCo shall cooperate with Manitowoc ParentCo and take any
and all actions reasonably requested by Manitowoc ParentCo in connection with obtaining the Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any new representation or covenant, confirming any previously made representation or covenant or
providing any materials or information requested by any Tax Advisor; provided that SpinCo shall not be required to make or confirm any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which
it has no control). 
 (b) Any information or documents provided under this Article VII shall be kept confidential by the
Company receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or any other agreement, (i) neither Manitowoc ParentCo nor any Manitowoc ParentCo Affiliate shall be required to provide SpinCo or any SpinCo Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents, or
procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information, documents, or procedures that relate to SpinCo, or the business or assets of SpinCo or any SpinCo Affiliate, and (ii) in no event shall Manitowoc ParentCo or any
Manitowoc ParentCo Affiliate be required to provide SpinCo, any SpinCo Affiliate, or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In this
regard, the parties shall, where appropriate, discuss entering into a joint defense or common interest agreement to preserve privilege in the event of an exchange of otherwise privileged information. In addition, in the event that Manitowoc ParentCo
determines that the provision of any information or documents to SpinCo or any SpinCo Affiliate could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement, or waive any Privilege, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit
compliance with its obligations under this Article VII in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 

  
 29 








 7.2. Income Tax Return Information. SpinCo and Manitowoc ParentCo acknowledge that time is
of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance, or cooperation made by Manitowoc ParentCo or SpinCo pursuant to Section 7.1 or this Section 7.2. SpinCo and Manitowoc ParentCo acknowledge that failure to conform to
the reasonable deadlines set by Manitowoc ParentCo or SpinCo could cause irreparable harm. Each Company shall provide to the other Company information and documents relating to its Group required by the other Company to prepare Tax Returns,
including, but not limited to, any pro forma returns required by the Responsible Company for purposes of preparing such Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Company requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such
form as the Responsible Company reasonably requests and at or prior to the time reasonably specified by the Responsible Company so as to enable the Responsible Company to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis. 

7.3. Reliance by Manitowoc ParentCo. If any member of the SpinCo Group supplies information to a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group
in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such
member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of SpinCo (or any officer of SpinCo as designated by the chief financial officer of SpinCo) shall certify in writing that to his or
her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete. 
 7.4. Reliance
by SpinCo. If any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group supplies information to a member of the SpinCo Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the SpinCo Group signs a statement or other document under penalties
of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the SpinCo Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Manitowoc ParentCo (or any officer of
Manitowoc ParentCo as designated by the chief financial officer of Manitowoc ParentCo) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 TAX
RECORDS 
 8.1. Retention of Tax Records. Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets
and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and Manitowoc ParentCo shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the Groups for Pre-Distribution Tax Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may become material
in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven years after the Distribution Date (such later
date, the “Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 60 Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Company. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Company
reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Article VIII are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code 

  
 30 








 
or other applicable Tax Law and the other Company agrees, then such first Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 60 Business Days’ prior notice to the other Company. Any notice of an
intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Company shall have the
opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 60 Business Day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, SpinCo determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer
program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then SpinCo may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon 90 days’ prior notice to Manitowoc ParentCo and Manitowoc ParentCo shall have the
opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such 90-day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system. 

8.2. Access to Tax Records. The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying
during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the
other Company and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Taxing Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, at the cost and expense of such other Company, during normal business hours upon reasonable
notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting
statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement. 
 8.3. Preservation of Privilege. No member of the
SpinCo Group shall provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of
Manitowoc ParentCo, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 ARTICLE IX 

TAX CONTESTS 
 9.1.
Notice. Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding, or other material Tax Contest of which it becomes
aware related to Taxes for Tax Periods for which it is indemnified by the other Company hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Company hereunder. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written
communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority
in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such party fails to give the indemnifying party prompt notice of such
asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the
failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to 

  
 31 








 
indemnify the indemnified party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the indemnifying party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in
any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying party, then any amount which the indemnifying party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified party pursuant to this Agreement shall be
reduced by the amount of such detriment. For purposes of the foregoing, a Tax Contest shall be considered “material” if it could reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a liability equal to or in excess of $500,000; (ii) a loss
of credit or credits equal to or in excess of $500,000; or (iii) a loss or losses equal to or in excess of $1.5 million. 
 9.2.
Control of Tax Contests. 
 (a) Separate Returns. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Separate
Return, the Company having liability for the Tax pursuant to Article II shall have exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 9.2(c) and
Section 9.2(d). 
 (b) Joint Return. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Joint Return, Manitowoc
ParentCo shall have exclusive control over the Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability, subject to Section 9.2(c) and Section 9.2(d). 

(c) Settlement Rights. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest, litigate, compromise and settle any
Tax Contest without obtaining the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party. Unless waived by the parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may
reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or
proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential
adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (iii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in
connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iv) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written
materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action
specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that
the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such 

  
 32 








 
failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in Section 9.2(a) or
Section 9.2(b), “Controlling Party” means the Company entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Section and “Non-Controlling Party” means the other Company. 

(d) Tax Contest Participation. Unless waived by the parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the
Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in
connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement. The failure of the
Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 9.2(d) to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the
extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. 

(e) Consultation in the Absence of Indemnification Obligation. In the event that one Group has responsibility for a Tax
Contest that could reasonably be expected to have a correlative tax liability of $1 million or more to the other Group, the Group having responsibility for that Tax Contest shall consult with the other Group with respect to the resolution of that
Tax Contest even if the other Group may not be obligated to indemnify the Group having control over the Tax Contest. In no event, however, shall the Group having responsibility for handling the Tax Contest be required to accept recommendations from
the other Group with respect to the resolution of the Tax Contest. 
 (f) Power of Attorney. Each member of the SpinCo
Group shall execute and deliver to Manitowoc ParentCo (or such member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group as Manitowoc ParentCo shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Manitowoc ParentCo (or such
designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Manitowoc ParentCo is the Controlling Party) described in this Article IX. Each member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group shall execute and deliver to SpinCo (or such member of the SpinCo Group
as SpinCo shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by SpinCo (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which SpinCo is the Controlling Party) described in this Article IX.

 ARTICLE X 

TAX TREATMENT OF INDEMNITY PAYMENTS 

10.1. Tax Characterization of Indemnity Payments. In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or except as otherwise
required by other applicable Tax Law, any indemnity payments made by a Company under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements shall be reported for Tax purposes by the Payor and the recipient as distributions or capital
contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the Payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder
or Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability. 

10.2. Gross Up. If notwithstanding the manner in which payments described in Section 10.1 were reported, there is an adjustment to
the Tax liability of a Company as a result of its receipt of a payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Separation Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such payment shall be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of such payment, reduced by
the amount of all Income Taxes payable with respect to the receipt thereof (but taking into account all correlative Tax Benefits resulting from the payment of such Income Taxes), shall equal the amount of the payment which the Company receiving such
payment would otherwise be entitled to receive. 
 10.3. Interest Under This Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, to the extent one Company (“Indemnitor”) makes a payment of interest to another Company (“Indemnitee”) under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnitee made a
payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Indemnitor reimbursed the Indemnitee for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest
income by the Indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or increase in Tax to the Indemnitee. 

ARTICLE XI 

DISAGREEMENTS 
 11.1.
Discussion. The Companies mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them. Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and
misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute between any member of the Manitowoc ParentCo Group and any member of
the SpinCo Group as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder, the Tax departments of the Companies shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. 

11.2. Escalation. Either Company may, at any time, terminate any negotiations between the Tax departments of the Companies and may make
a written request to refer the 

  
 34 








 
matter to the Dispute Resolution Committee (as defined in the Separation Agreement) pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Separation Agreement. In that event, the provisions of Section 7.3 of
the Separation Agreement shall govern the process for resolving the dispute.

and decisions of the State of Wisconsin. If any provision of this Agreement shall be contrary to the laws of the State of Wisconsin or any other applicable law, at the present time or in the future, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but

will best serve the intention of the parties at the time of the execution of this Agreement. 
 12.5. Captions, Gender, References, and
Number. The captions in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way affect the terms or intent of any provision of this Agreement. The words such as “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereof”,
and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear. The singular shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless
the context otherwise requires. The terms “including” and “include” shall mean “including without limitation” and “include without limitation”, respectively. Unless the context otherwise clearly requires:

 12.6. Counterparts. The parties may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which constitutes an
original as against the party that signed it, and all of which together constitute one agreement. This Agreement is effective upon delivery of one executed counterpart from each party hereto to the other party. The signatures of the parties need not
appear on the same counterpart. The delivery of signed counterparts by facsimile or email transmission that includes a copy of the sending party’s signature is as effective as signing and delivering the counterpart in person. 

12.7. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to provisions of this Agreement.

 12.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Separation Agreement, and the Employee Matters
Agreement contain the entire agreement between the Companies with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other agreements, whether or not written, in respect of any Tax between or among any member or members of the Manitowoc
ParentCo Group, on the one hand, and any member or members of the SpinCo Group, on the other hand. All such other agreements shall be of no further effect between the Companies and any rights or obligations existing thereunder shall be fully and
finally settled, calculated as of the Effective Date. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Separation Agreement, or any other agreements relating to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, with respect
to Taxes, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be required to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. 
 12.10.
Waiver. No failure on the part of any party hereto to object to or complain of any breach or default by another party under this Agreement or to take any other action with respect thereto, irrespective of how long such failure may continue,
shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of that or of any other breach or default. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach or default on the part of another party hereto shall be effective unless set forth in writing and executed by the waiving
party, and any such waiver shall operate only as a waiver of the particular breach or default specified in such written waiver, and shall not be effective as a waiver of any other subsequent breach or default on the part of another party hereto.

 12.11. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses
incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement. 

12.12. Late Payments. Any amount owed by one party to another party under this Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest
at the Applicable Interest Rate, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid. To the extent interest required to be paid under this Section 12.12 duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision
of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Section 12.12 or the interest rate provided under such other provision. 

12.13. No Double Recovery. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to provide an indemnity or other recovery for any costs,
damages, or other amounts for which the damaged party has been fully compensated under any other provision of this Agreement or under any other agreement or action at law or equity. Unless expressly required in this Agreement, a party hereto shall
not be required to exhaust all remedies available under other agreements or at law or equity before recovering under the remedies provided in this Agreement.

 37 








 12.15. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that irreparable damage would occur
in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 6.1, were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. The parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 6.1, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled
at law or in equity. 
 12.16. Jurisdiction. If any dispute arises out of or in connection with this Agreement, except as expressly
contemplated by another provision of this Agreement, the parties irrevocably (and the parties shall cause each other member of their respective Group to irrevocably) (i) consent and submit to the co-exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state
courts located in the State of Wisconsin and in the State of Florida, (ii) waive any objection to that choice of forum in Wisconsin or in Florida based on venue or to the effect that the forum is not convenient, and (iii) WAIVE TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY JURY.
