TEREX CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
The purpose of this Amended and Restated
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), which was
originally effective as of October 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date"),
is to provide a further means whereby Terex Corporation (the
"Company") may afford financial security to a select group of
executives of the Company who render valuable services to the
Company. The Plan constitutes an important contribution
toward such executives' continued growth and success by providing
for additional future compensation so that such executives may be
retained and their productive efforts encouraged, all as provided
herein. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan
maintained for a "select group of management or highly compensated
employees" as defined in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1) and
4021(b)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended. The Plan is hereby amended and restated,
effective January 1, 2005, to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") and the regulations thereunder ("Section
409A"). The Plan is frozen as to new Participants
effective December 31, 2008.
