The date of this document is ______.


Award Shares which have not been forfeited as provided for in the preceding sentence shall be delivered to the Participant promptly upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date set forth in the delivery schedule above, (ii) the Participant's death or Disability, and (iii) a Change in the Control of the Corporation.  An individual who is employed by a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation shall be deemed to have ceased employment with the Corporation at such time as the Corporation owns, either directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of such subsidiary or affiliate.


2.    Transfer Restrictions.  The Award Shares are not transferable and shall not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred by the Participant until received by the Participant (that is, when they are no longer subject to forfeiture).


3.    Plan.  The Award Shares are awarded pursuant to the Terex Corporation 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and are subject to all of the terms and conditions of said Plan, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.  All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.


4.    Tender Offer or Merger.  Award Shares (i) may be tendered in response to a tender offer for or a request or invitation to tenders of greater than 50% of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation or (ii) may be surrendered in a merger, consolidation or share exchange involving the Corporation; provided, in each case, that the securities or other consideration received in exchange therefor shall thereafter be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein.


5.    Withholding Taxes.  In order to enable the Corporation to meet any applicable tax withholding requirements arising as a result of the Participant's receiving his or her Award Shares, the Participant shall pay the Corporation the amount of tax to be withheld in connection with Participant's receipt of the Award Shares.  In the alternative, the Participant may elect to satisfy such obligation by having the Corporation withhold shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be delivered to the Participant as a result of the Participant's receiving Award Shares.


6.    Award Share Certificates.  The Corporation shall cause the Award Shares to be transferred on the books of the Corporation and registered in the name of the Corporation as nominee for the Participant until all restrictions lapse or such shares are forfeited as provided herein.  Upon the restriction lapse, Award Shares shall be transferred from the books of the Corporation to the books of the Plan recordkeeper, in street name, for the benefit of the Participant.


7.    Government Regulations.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Corporation's obligation to issue and deliver certificates evidencing the Award Shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
