Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
    
On August 5, 2011, Terex Corporation (“Terex” or the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement primarily reflects the terms of the Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2011, as amended on June 27, 2011 and as supplemented by the Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement on June 28, 2011 with the following principal changes:

A.    Euro term loan commitments of €200,000,000 aggregate principal amount were provided by the lenders, which resulted in the following commitment amounts to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries: (i) U.S. term loan commitments of $460,100,000; (ii) Euro term loan commitments of €200,000,000; (iii) domestic revolving credit commitments of $250,000,000; and (iv) multicurrency revolving credit commitments of $250,000,000.

B.    The interest rates charged for the U.S. term loans issued under the Credit Agreement were reduced by 50 basis points.

C.    There were certain other technical changes.

Certain of the lenders, or their affiliates, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are party to other agreements with the Company and its subsidiaries, including the provision of commercial banking, investment banking, trustee and/or other financial services in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On August 5, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has received clearance from the European Union to complete its previously announced purchase offer for Demag Cranes AG.
