The Manitowoc
Company, Inc.
Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan
Whereas, the Manitowoc
Company, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the
“Company”), deems it desirable to adopt a supplemental
executive retirement plan for its key employees.
Now, therefore, the Company hereby
establishes this amended and restated version of The Manitowoc
Company, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the
“Plan”) as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Plan Purpose
The purpose of this Plan is to
attract and retain key management employees by supplementing their
retirement income. The key management employees of the Company who
participate in this Plan (“Participants”) will be
selected by and designated in writing by the Compensation Committee
of the Board.
This Plan is an unfunded target
benefit plan. A target benefit plan is similar to a defined
contribution plan. An annual contribution credit is calculated for
each Participant as a level percent of pay. Such accumulated Annual
Contribution Credit, accumulated at the Plan’s assumed rate
of investment return, is expected to fund a life annuity in an
amount equal to a target benefit payable as a life annuity under
assumptions defined in this Plan. A Participant’s benefit is
the Account Balance maintained for a Participant by the Company.
Distributions from this Plan shall be processed as set forth in
Article 5.
The Plan is hereby amended and
restated to reflect the requirements of Code Section 409A as
of January 1, 2005, the Company’s good faith compliance
with Code Section 409A between October 3, 2004 and
December 31, 2008 and other interim Plan amendments. All
benefits that were earned and vested on or before December 31,
2004 are “grandfathered” within the meaning of IRS
Notice 2005-1 and any provision in this restated Plan document that
would otherwise cause such grandfathered amounts to be
“materially modified” at anytime after October 3,
2004 shall be deemed amended or deleted to the extent necessary to
ensure that those amounts do not become subject to Code
Section 409A
1
ARTICLE 2
Definitions
2.1.
“Account Balance” is an
account maintained for each Participant which reflects the
accumulation of the Annual Contribution Credits and the Investment
Credits earned under the Plan.
2.2.
“Actuarial Equivalent”
shall mean a single payment or a series of payments that have the
same value as another single payment or series of payments. For
purposes of this Plan, any Actuarial Equivalence for payments made
shall reflect a 9.0% interest rate and life annuity values shall
reflect mortality based upon the 1994 Uninsured Pensioners
Mortality Table.
2.3.
“Actuary” is an enrolled
actuary hired by the Plan Administrator to calculate the Annual
Contribution Credit under the Plan.
2.4.
“Administrator” shall
mean the Plan’s administrator, as defined in
Article 6.
2.5.
“Annual Contribution
Credit” is the amount calculated under Article 3 and
credited to each Participant’s Account Balance.
2.6.
“Board” refers to the
board of directors of the Company.
2.7.
“Change in Control”
means: (a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the
ownership of 25% or more of either (i) the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company or (ii) the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the
Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
(b) a
2
change in the majority of the Board;
or (d) a major corporate transaction, such as a merger, sale
of substantially all of the Company’s assets or a
liquidation, which results in a change in the majority of the Board
or a majority of stockholders. For Non-Grandfathered Accounts, a
“Change of Control” means the first event that would be
a “Change of Control” under the preceding
definition and which would also satisfy the requirements of
Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v).
2.8.
“Code” means the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as interpreted by regulations and
rulings issued pursuant thereto, all as amended and in effect from
time to time. .
2.9.
“Company” shall mean The
Manitowoc Company, Inc. a Wisconsin corporation and its
successors.
2.10.
“Compensation” shall
mean, for any Plan Year, a Participant’s regular base salary
established by the Company as of December 31 (including
elective deferrals that are excluded from gross income and are
payable to a plan described in Section 401(k) or
Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code) plus actual bonus
awards earned for the Plan Year. Compensation shall not include
commissions, the value of fringe benefits and other special awards
or payments.
2.11.
“Final Average Compensation
Target” shall mean the average of the Participant’s
projected Compensation for the five consecutive calendar year
period when the Participant receives or is projected to receive his
highest average Compensation prior to the Participant’s
Target Retirement Date. Projected Compensation will be
determined by increasing the current Compensation for each year in
the future by 6.0%, compounded annually, until the Plan Year
preceding the Participant’s Target Retirement Date. To
the
3
extent that a Participant works past
his Target Retirement Date, his Final Average Compensation Target
will continue to be adjusted for increases in Compensation after
the Target Retirement Date.
2.12.
“Grandfathered Account”
refers to all or any part of a Participant’s Account Balance
that was earned and fully vested as of December 31, 2004,
calculated based upon the terms of the Plan in effect on
October 3, 2004. If, at any time, this Plan, any
agreement, any form or any other administrative policy is amended
or interpreted to cause a “material modification” that
would cause a Grandfathered Account to be subject to Code
Section 409A, such amendment, interpretation or change shall
be deemed amended or modified to the extent that no Grandfathered
Amount will be subject to Code Section 409A. If
necessary to avoid the application of Code Section 409A or to
provide guidance as the result of the application of the preceding
provisions, the terms of the Plan, as in effect on October 3,
2004, shall apply to all Grandfathered Accounts.
2.13.
“Investment Credit” is

Account” refers to all or any part of a Participant’s
Account Balance that was not earned and fully vested as of
December 31, 2004, according to the terms of the Plan in
effect on October 3, 2004. Non-Grandfathered Accounts
are subject to Code Section 409A and the provisions of this
Plan shall be interpreted and applied with the intent to ensure
that no benefits are subject to taxation before the date when such
benefits are paid to a Participant or Beneficiary. Nothing in
this Plan, any agreement, any form or
4
related document shall be construed
or interpreted as a guarantee of any particular tax
consequences.
2.15.
“Normal Retirement Date”
is the first day of the month following age 65.
2.16.
“Plan” means The
Manitowoc Company, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

calendar year.
2.18.
“Substantial Employment
Change” shall mean following a Change in Control: (a) a
Participant’s employment is terminated without cause;
(b) a negative, fundamental or material change is made in a
Participant’s duties or responsibilities; (c) a
Participant’s salary or other material compensation or
benefits are reduced and such decrease is not related to Company or
individual performance; (d) a Participant is required to
materially relocate his or her residence or principal office
location against his or her will; or (e) a Participant is not
offered a comparable position with a successor entity.
2.19.
“Target Retirement
Benefit” is fifty-five percent (55%) of a Participant’s
Final Average Compensation Target. For any executive who
becomes a Participant after December 31, 2008 and whose
projected total service at his Target Retirement Date is less than
25 years, his Target Retirement Benefit will be 55% of the
Participant’s Final Average Compensation Target times
the Participant’s projected total service with the
Company at his Target Retirement Date divided by 25. If a
Participant whose Target Retirement Benefit was reduced under the
preceding provision works past his Target Retirement
5
Date, then his Target Retirement
Benefit will be 55% of the Participant’s Final Average
Compensation Target times the Participant’s actual years of
service with the Company, not to exceed 25, divided by 25.
Total service is all service as an employee of the Company and will
be based upon complete months and years of projected or actual
service. If the Company adopts any other employer-provided
defined benefit retirement plan, the actuarial equivalent of such
benefit payable as a level life annuity will be subtracted from the
Target Retirement Benefit.
2.20.
“Target Retirement Date”
is the earlier of the Normal Retirement Date and the first of the
month following the date on which the Participant’s attained
age plus years of service with the Company equals 80. Attained age
and years of service will be calculated in years and complete
months.

Date, provided the Participant is an employee on December 31
of the Plan Year.
