All Options under this Agreement expire no later than ten (10) years after the date of the grant. No Options under this Agreement will qualify as “incentive stock options,” as described in Code section 422(b).

(c) EXERCISE PROCEDURES. The Director may exercise any Option under this Agreement, in whole or in part, only with respect to any Option Share for which the right to exercise shall have accrued pursuant to sub-section (b) above and only so long as Section {INSERT THE NUMBER OF THE SECTION TITLED “TERMINATION OF AWARD”} does not prohibit such exercise.

(i) WRITTEN NOTICE. Any Option under this Agreement may be exercised only by delivering a written notice to the Company’s Human Resources Department at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, accompanied by payment of the purchase price and such additional amount (if any) determined by the Human Resources Department as necessary to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations, and such other documents or representations as the Company may reasonably request to comply with securities, tax or other laws then applicable to the exercise of the Option. Delivery may be made in person, by nationally-recognized delivery service that guarantees overnight delivery, or by facsimile.

The Director may satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising from the exercise of an Option under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by paying such tax obligation in cash or by check made payable to the Company, or by electing to have the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the amount required to be withheld, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt. In any event, the Company reserves the right to withhold from any compensation otherwise payable to the Director such amount as the Company determines is necessary to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of this Option.

All vested Options (and any non-vested Option or other Award that is not immediately forfeited under this Section) must be exercised, cease to be subject to restrictions or mature on or before the earliest of: (1) the anniversary {NOTE—CANNOT EXCEED ONE YEAR} of the date that the Director ceases to be a member of the Board; or (2) that date that the Award (or limitation) was otherwise set to expire, lapse or mature. For purposes of this sub-section (a), any termination or forfeiture shall be deemed to occur at 11:59 P.M. (Central Time) on the applicable date described herein.

(b) Fraud/Misconduct.

The transfer will be effective only if the Director receives no consideration for such transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred Awards are prohibited except transfers to those persons or entities to which the Director could have transferred such Awards, or transfers otherwise in accordance with this Section. Any attempted transfer not permitted under this Section shall be null and void and have no legal effect. The transfer restrictions set forth in this Section shall not, however, apply to any Shares that the Director obtains {NOTE—INCLUDE ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, AS APPROPRIATE}: (a) after exercising an Option; (b) after all restrictions lapse on Restricted Stock; or (c) upon maturation of a Restricted Stock Unit.

# REGISTRATION.

The Director shall have no interest in Shares covered by this Agreement until certificates for the Shares are issued.

The number and type of Shares subject to this Agreement and any Option exercise price may be adjusted, or this Award may be completely or partially assumed, cancelled or otherwise changed, in the event of certain transactions, as provided in the Plan, including, without limitation, Sections 2(b) and 10 of the Plan. Upon a Change of Control, the rules set forth in Section 10 of the Plan shall govern this Agreement. The grant of any Award under this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s or any subsidiary’s capital structure or its business, or any merger, consolidation or business combination of the Company or any subsidiary, or any issuance or modification of any term, condition, or covenant of any bond, debenture, debt, preferred stock or other instrument ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights of the holders of Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the

Company or any subsidiary, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other Company or subsidiary act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

# LIMITED INTEREST. The Director shall have no rights as a stockholder as a result of the grant of any Award under this Agreement until the Director receives unrestricted Shares issued (via certificate, electronically or by any other permissible means) {NOTE—INCLUDE ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, AS APPROPRIATE}: (a) after exercising an Option; (b) after all restrictions lapse on Restricted Stock; or (c) upon maturation of a Restricted Stock Unit. The grant of any Award and the execution of this Agreement shall not confer on the Director any right to continue as a member of the Board, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to remove the Director from the Board at any time.

# GOVERNING LAW. The granting of Awards under this Agreement and the issuance of Shares in connection with any such Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or Plan, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. This Agreement and the Plan will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to any conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, to the Plan, to any Award or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect to this Agreement, to the Plan or any Award may be brought and determined only in a court sitting in the County of Manitowoc, or the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin sitting in the County of Milwaukee, in the State of Wisconsin.

# SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, of the Plan or any Award (a) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (b) would disqualify this Agreement, the Plan or any Award under any law the Committee deems applicable, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Agreement, the Plan or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this Agreement, the Plan and such Award will remain in full force and effect.

# COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
