2.5 Executory Contract Designation.

(a) Purchaser hereby designates the Executory Contract listed on Schedule 2.5(a) as the Executory Contracts that Purchaser elects to be assumed and assigned to it (with such assumption and assignment to be effective as of the Closing Date), and Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to seek an Assumption Order with respect any such Executory Contract so designated (the “Initial Assumed Executory Contracts”). Seller shall pay, satisfy or otherwise discharge the obligations with respect to the Cure Costs related to the Initial Assumed Executory Contracts by the later of (i) the Closing Date, and (ii) such later date as the Bankruptcy Court may order in connection with any order authorizing Seller to assume or reject the Executory Contracts under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Cure Costs Deadline”), and in each instance Purchaser shall have no liability therefore (except as expressly set forth in Section 2.3(j) above); provided, however, that the Cure Costs Deadline shall be extended to a date fifteen (15) days following the entry of a Bankruptcy Court order resolving any disputed Cure Costs.

(b) By no later than the Final Designation Deadline (the “Additional Designation Period”), Purchaser shall be entitled to designate any remaining unassumed Executory Contract that Purchaser may want to assume from Seller and have assigned to it (“Additional Designated Executory Contract”) and Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to seek entry of an Assumption Order with respect any such Additional Designated Executory Contract.

(c) With respect to each Additional Designated Executory Contract, and upon receipt of sufficient funds pursuant to Section 2.3(j) (which funds shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller substantially simultaneously with the later of (x) the Closing and (y) the date of the assumption and assignment of such Additional Designated Executory Contracts), Seller shall pay, satisfy or otherwise discharge all obligations with respect to the Cure Costs related to each Additional Designated Executory Contract to the extent that such expenses have accrued prior to the Closing Date. Such payment shall be made on such date as the Bankruptcy Court may order in connection with any order authorizing Seller to assume or reject such Additional Designated Executory Contract under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Cure Costs Deadline for all Additional Designated Executory Contracts). Purchaser shall have no liability for any obligations or indebtedness that may accrue under any Additional Designated Executory Contract prior to the Closing Date. With respect to each Additional Designated Executory Contract, Purchaser shall pay, satisfy or otherwise discharge all expenses of administration allowed by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with such Additional Designated Executory Contract to the extent such expenses accrued during the period commencing on the first day following the Closing Date and ending on the date on which such Additional Designated Executory Contract is either (i) designated for rejection in writing by Purchaser or (ii) designated by Purchaser as an Assumed Executory Contract and assumed by and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to an Assumption Order (the “Post-Closing Determination Period”); provided, however, that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the entry of an Assumption Order in connection with any Additional Designated Executory Contract by no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Designation Deadline. Seller shall have no liability for any obligations or indebtedness that may accrue under any Additional Designated Executory Contract during the Post-Closing Determination Period, except for any obligations or indebtedness arising by as a result of Seller’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(d) From the Effective Date through and including the Final Designation Deadline, Seller shall not reject or allow for the rejection of any Executory Contract unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser. To the extent that an Executory Contract becomes an Additional Designated Executory Contract, Seller shall not reject or allow for the rejection of such Executory Contract until Purchaser designates in writing that such Executory Contract is to be rejected.

(e) If, by the Final Designation Deadline, Purchaser fails to instruct Seller in writing to reject an Executory Contract that is not by that date either an Assumed Executory Contract or an Additional Designated Executory Contract, Seller agrees to immediately, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days following the Final Designation Deadline, provide written notice of its intention to reject such Executory Contract. Purchaser shall have no more than two (2) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to provide Seller with written notice of its decision to designate such Executory Contract as an Additional Designated Executory Contract. If Purchaser timely designates such Executory Contract as an Additional Designated Executory Contract, Purchaser shall have all those obligations and rights set forth in Sections 2.5(c) and (d) above with respect to such Executory Contract. If Purchaser does not timely so designate such Executory Contract as an Additional Designated Executory Contract, Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability on account of such Executory Contract and Seller shall retain any and all obligations or liabilities in connection therewith; provided that Purchaser shall pay, satisfy or otherwise discharge all expenses of administration allowed by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with such Executory Contract for the period commencing on the first day following the Closing Date and ending on the effective date of the rejection of such Executory Contract, so long as Seller (i) files with the Bankruptcy Court its rejection of such Executory Contract within six (6) Business Days following the Final Designation Deadline and (ii) requests the earliest possible hearing date available with the Bankruptcy Court to finalize such rejection(s).

2.6 Assignment of Contracts and Rights. To the maximum extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, the Purchased Assets and Seller’s rights to the Intellectual Property shall be assumed and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Closing Date or such other date as specified in an Order or this Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any asset or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment without the consent of a third party would constitute a breach or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser or Seller thereunder.

2.7 Further Conveyances and Assumptions.

(a) From time to time following the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, transfer to Purchaser any Purchased Assets received by or in the possession of Seller.

(b) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and to assure fully to Seller and its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the Transactions.

2.8 Non-Debtor Subsidiary.

(a) The ownership rights and equity interests of the Non-Debtor Subsidiary shall be included in the Purchased Assets.

(b) Seller shall not reject or otherwise liquidate, sell, assign, transfer or convey any Non-Debtor Subsidiary unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser.

2.9 Miscellaneous Secured Facilities.

(a) Purchaser does not designate any Purchased Asset subject to a lien (the “Miscellaneous Secured Debt”) as an Excluded Asset (any such designated asset, a “Secured Asset”).

(b) At any time on or prior to twenty (20) days after the Closing Date (the “Payoff Deadline”), Purchaser may designate any Secured Asset previously designated as an Excluded Asset pursuant to Section 2.9(a) above as a Purchased Asset. In such an event, Purchaser shall pay, satisfy or otherwise discharge all outstanding obligations with respect to the Miscellaneous Secured Debt secured by any such Secured Asset no later than the Payoff Deadline.

(c) From the Effective Date through and including the Payoff Deadline, Seller shall not, and shall cause the Non-Debtor Subsidiary to not, sell, assign, transfer or convey any Secured Asset unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser.

(d) From the Closing Date and on or prior to the date of any designation pursuant to Section 2.9(b) with respect to such designated Secured Asset, Purchaser shall advance or reimburse all of Seller’s costs and expenses accruing after the Closing Date with respect to such designated Secured Asset, including under any Miscellaneous Secured Debt related thereto.

8.4 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) If necessary, Purchaser and Seller shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make or cause to be made all filings required of each of them or any of their respective Affiliates under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days after entry of the Sale Order in the case of all filings required under the HSR Act and within ten Business Days in the case of all other filings required by other Antitrust Laws, (ii) comply, to the extent practicable, at the earliest practicable date with any request under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws for additional information, documents, or other materials received by each of them or any of their respective subsidiaries from Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) or any other Governmental Body in respect of such filings or the Transactions, and (iii) cooperate with each other in connection with any such filing (including, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing parties prior to filing and considering all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith) and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any of the FTC, the Antitrust Division or other Governmental Body under any Antitrust Laws with respect to any such filing or any Transaction. Each such party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the Transactions. Each such party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Body regarding any such filings or any Transaction. No party hereto shall independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Body in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. Subject to applicable Law, the parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws. Seller and Purchaser may, as each deems advisable and necessary in good faith, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 8.4 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be).

(b) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative or judicial doctrines or other laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, the “Antitrust Laws”). In connection therewith, if any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any Transaction is in violation of any Antitrust Law, each of Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Transactions, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal and all available legislative action, unless, by mutual agreement, Purchaser and Seller decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests; provided, that all expenses incurred with respect to such efforts shall be borne solely by Purchaser. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Federal, state and local and non-United States antitrust or competition authority, so as to enable the parties to close the Transactions as expeditiously as possible.

8.5 Further Assurances. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions and (ii) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the Transactions.

8.6 Preservation of Records. Seller or its successors and Purchaser agree that each of them shall preserve and keep the records held by it or their Affiliates relating to the Purchased Assets for two (2) years after the Closing Date (except as provided below) and shall make such records available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings or tax audits against or governmental investigations of Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable Seller or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby. In the event Seller or Purchaser wishes to destroy such records before or within two (2) years, such party shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within such 90-day period, to take possession of the records within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of such notice.

8.7 Publicity. None of the parties hereto shall issue any press release concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment of Purchaser or Seller, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement, provided that the party intending to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof.

8.8 Schedules. Seller may, at its option, include in the Schedules items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. Information provided in one Schedule will suffice, without repetition or cross reference, as a disclosure of such information in any other Schedule to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face.

8.9 Compliance with DIP Credit Agreement. Seller shall not take any action not in compliance with any covenant or other agreements set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.

8.10 Motions, Orders, etc. Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with the proposed final drafts of all documents, motions, orders, or pleadings that Seller hereafter proposes to file with the Bankruptcy Court which relate to the approval of this Agreement, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Contracts or Assumed Leases or the consummation of the Transactions, or any provision therein or herein, and shall provide Purchaser and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents, motions, orders, or pleadings prior to filing with the Bankruptcy Court.

8.11 [Intentionally omitted]

8.12 Post-Closing Name Changes. Promptly after Closing, Purchaser will change its name to “Coast Crane Company” and will cause Seller’s name to be changed from “Coast Crane Company” to a name that does not incorporate any of the Purchased Intellectual Property.

8.13 Bonuses and Commissions. During the Bankruptcy Case, Seller shall continue to pay in full to employees of Seller all bonuses and commissions as they become due and payable consistent with normal course past practices and in conformity with any Seller plans applicable to such bonuses and commissions.

8.14 Communications with Customers and Suppliers. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives not to, contact, or engage in any discussions or otherwise communicate with, any of the Business’ customers, suppliers and others with whom it has material commercial dealings without obtaining the prior consent of Seller (which will not be unreasonably withheld but, if given, may be conditioned on Seller having the right to designate an officer of Seller reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, to participate in any meetings or discussions with any such customers, suppliers or others).

8.15 Post-Closing Receipts. In the event that after the Closing Seller receives any funds, checks, deposits or other amounts in respect of, related to, or arising out of the Purchased Assets (“Post-Closing Receipts”), such Post-Closing Receipts shall be held in trust for the benefit of Purchaser and Seller shall promptly remit, pay or otherwise transfer all such Post-Closing Receipts to Purchaser in the form received. The Seller hereby designates Purchaser as Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute or endorse for the benefit of Buyer any checks, notes or other documents received directly by Purchaser or remitted to Purchaser by Seller as Post-Closing Receipts or transferred to Purchaser as Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(xxi), such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and irrevocable. Seller agrees to execute and deliver to Purchaser from time to time any documents or instruments reasonably requested by Purchaser to evidence such power of attorney and to otherwise implement the foregoing.

ARTICLE IX

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

9.1 Employees. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, in writing, an offer of employment (on an “at will” basis) to each of the Employees who remain employed immediately prior to the Closing to commence immediately upon the day following the Closing, subject to Purchaser’s standard conditions for new employees. Such individuals who accept such offer by the Closing Date are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” Each offer to each Seller employee provided by Purchaser will include compensation and provide for a position with Seller identical to those provided to such employee by Seller immediately prior to the Closing. Subject to applicable Laws and for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligation to Seller with respect to changing the terms and conditions of all Transferred Employees’ employment at any time on and after the Closing Date.

9.2 Standard Procedure. Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Seller will not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Transferred Employees, and (iii) Purchaser will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each such Transferred Employee only with respect to the portion of the year during which such Employees are employed by Purchaser that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Employee was employed by Seller or its Subsidiaries.

9.3 Employee Benefits.

(a) Benefits. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide the Transferred Employees with benefits under employee benefit plans to be maintained by Purchaser, including without limitation commission and bonus plans, a 401(k) plan and health benefits (“Purchaser Plans”), that are substantially similar to the benefit plans maintained by Seller immediately prior to Closing except with respect to commission and bonus plans which plans shall be consistent with Purchaser's commission and bonus plans unless the terms of the commission and bonus plans maintained by Seller are acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion.

(b) Accrued Vacation. Purchaser shall give full credit to each Transferred Employee for all unused vacation time accrued as of the Closing Date.

(c) COBRA. Purchaser shall sponsor and maintain a group health plan, effective on or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Transferred Employees and their dependents, and to provide for the continuation coverage required to be made available under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) as of the Closing Date for Seller’s “M&A qualified beneficiaries.” Seller’s M&A qualified beneficiaries include all of the individual qualified beneficiaries as determined under COBRA and the applicable regulations whose qualifying event occurred prior to or in connection with the asset sale transaction contemplated by this Agreement and who are, or whose respective qualifying events occurred in connection with, covered employees under Seller’s group health plan whose last employment prior to the qualifying event was with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller. Purchaser shall be exclusively responsible for providing such COBRA coverage and Seller shall not have any obligation or liability to provide rights under COBRA following the Closing Date for such M&A qualified beneficiaries.

(d) Vesting of Seller Employee Benefit Plan Benefits. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the tax-qualified 401(k) plan in which Transferred Employees were eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing Date to fully vest such employees’ accrued benefit through the Closing Date thereunder. Seller shall take all such actions that are reasonably necessary to facilitate such vesting and to terminate the plan. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller to facilitate such vesting and termination of the plan, including providing personnel to Seller to effectuate such vesting and termination.

9.4 Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless with respect to any Transferred Employee from (i) any employment- related liability with respect to employment on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any liability relating to, arising under or in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan, including any liability under COBRA, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date and (iii) any liability under the WARN Act.

9.5 No Obligations. Other than as set forth in this Article 9, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require, or prevent the termination of, employment of any individual, require minimum benefit or compensation levels or prevent any change in the employee benefits provided to any individual Transferred Employee. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee of Seller or any other persons or entities (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof), in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) for any specified period of any nature or kind whatsoever.

12.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

12.10 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person or entity not a party to this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Seller or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided that Purchaser may assign some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more subsidiaries formed by it prior to the Closing and/or, upon notice to Seller, to one or more Persons that Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, to partner with in connection with the Transactions. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

12.11 General Release.

(a) Effective upon the Closing Date, Seller, on behalf of itself, and any Person claiming by, through, under, derivatively for, as agent for or on behalf of such Seller (collectively, the “Seller Group”), acknowledges that it has no claim, counterclaim, setoff, recoupment, action or cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, for the avoidance of doubt, actions for avoidance, subordination or recharacterization of any of Purchaser’s pre-Petition Date Claims, Interests and Encumbrances and Liens in respect of Seller) against (1) Purchaser, (2) any of its directors, officers, control persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended), members, employees, agents, attorneys, financial advisors, legal representatives, shareholders, partners, successors and assigns solely in their capacity as such, and (3) any of its directors, officers, control persons, members or employees in their capacity as a member on, or arising from their involvement with the activities of, the Board of Directors of Seller (including pursuant to board observer rights), (Purchaser and all Persons referenced in clauses (1), (2) and (3) are collectively referred to as the “Purchaser Group”), that directly or indirectly arise out of, are based upon, or in any manner connected with any Prior Event (as defined below) (collectively, “Released Claims”); and, should any Released Claims nonetheless exist, Seller on behalf of itself and all the other members of the Seller Group hereby (i) releases and discharges each member of the Purchaser Group from any liability whatsoever on such Released Claims that directly or indirectly arise out of, are based upon, or in any manner connected with a Prior Event, and (ii) releases, remises, waives and discharges all such Released Claims against any member of the Purchaser Group. As used herein the term “Prior Event” means any transaction, event, circumstances, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, including without limitation any approval or acceptance given or denied, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun prior to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, “Prior Event” shall not include any rights of Seller set forth in this Agreement or the rights set forth in any other agreement to be entered into on or after the Closing Date in contemplation of the sale of assets to Purchaser set forth herein.

(b) Without limiting in any way the scope of the release contained in subparagraph (a) immediately above and effective upon the Closing Date, Seller, to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, hereby waives and relinquishes for themselves and the other members of the Seller Group, all statutory and common law protections purporting to limit the scope or effect of a general release, whether due to lack of knowledge of any claim or otherwise, including, waiving and relinquishing the terms of any law, like section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that a release may not apply to material unknown claims. Seller hereby affirms its intent to waive and relinquish such unknown Claims and to waive and relinquish any statutory or common law protection available in any applicable jurisdiction with respect thereto.

12.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by facsimile, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first written above.

WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON

AT SEATTLE

In re:

COAST CRANE COMPANY,

Debtor.

No. 10-21229

[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE DEBTOR’S ASSETS AND BUSINESS FREE AND CLEAR OF ALL LIENS, CLAIMS, INTERESTS AND ENCUMBRANCES; APPROVING THE ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT BY THE DEBTOR TO BUYER OF CERTAIN OF THE DEBTOR’S EXECUTORY CONTRACTS; AND GRANTING OTHER RELIEF

THIS MATTER comes before the Court upon the motion (the “Sale Motion”) 1 of Coast Crane Company (the “Debtor” or “Coast”), debtor and debtor-in-possession, for the entry of an Order approving (i) the sale (the “Sale”) of substantially all of Debtor’s assets and business free and clear of all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances ("Interests") to CC Bidding Corp. or its assigns (collectively, “CC” or "Buyer") pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and (ii) the assumption and assignment by the Debtor to Buyer of certain of Debtor’s executory contracts and leases. Having considered the Sale Motion, the accompanying declaration, the Purchase Agreement, any objections and reply materials, the arguments of counsel, and the pleadings and papers herein, the Court HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES THAT: 2

1 Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement or Sale Motion.

2 Findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact when appropriate. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7052.

A. The Court has jurisdiction over the Sale Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, and this matter is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (M), (N) and (O). Venue of this case and the Sale Motion in this district is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

B. The statutory predicates for the relief sought in the Sale Motion are 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a), 363(b), (f), (m), and (n) and 365, and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002, 6004, 6006, and 9014.

C. As evidenced by the affidavits of service previously filed with the Court, the Debtor provided proper, timely, adequate and sufficient notice of the Sale Motion, the Sale Hearing, the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the Sale and the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases in accordance with 11 U.S.C. §§ 102(l), 363 and 365 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002, 6004 (collectively, the “Transactions”), and to: (i) the Office of the United States Trustee; (ii) counsel for the Coast Crane Acquisition Corporation and counsel for the Buyer; (iii) counsel for the Creditors' Committee; (iv) all entities known to have asserted any interests in or upon the Purchased Assets; (v) all federal, state, and local regulatory or taxing authorities or recording offices which have a reasonably known interest in the relief requested by the Sale Motion, (vi) all parties to Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases; (vii) the United States Attorney's office; (viii) the Internal Revenue Service; and (ix) the official service list in this case. Such notice was good and sufficient, and afforded parties sent notice a reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Order, and no other or further notice of the Sale Motion, the Sale Hearing or any of the Transactions is or shall be required.

D. The Debtor marketed the Purchased Assets and conducted the sale process in compliance with applicable law and rules.

E. The Debtor (i) has full corporate power and authority to execute the Purchase Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby, and the sale of the Purchased Assets and assumption and assignment of the Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases by the Debtor have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Debtor, (ii) has all of the corporate power and authority necessary to consummate the Transactions, (iii) has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize and approve the Purchase Agreement and the consummation by the Debtor of the Transactions, and (iv) requires no consents or approvals, other than those expressly provided for in the Purchase Agreement, in order to consummate such Transactions.

F. Approval of the Purchase Agreement and consummation of the Transactions at this time are in the best interests of the Debtor, its creditors, its estate, and other parties in interest.

G. The Debtor has demonstrated both (i) good, sufficient, and sound business purpose and justification, and (ii) compelling circumstances for the Transactions pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(b) prior to, and outside of, a plan of reorganization in that, among other things:

(1) The Debtor is experiencing liquidity problems that result in it being unable to fund its operations in the near future;

(2) There is an immediate and significant risk to the value of the Debtor’s business;

(3) Such liquidity problems and other operational challenges have caused the Debtor hardship;

(4) Given these circumstances, the Buyer is only willing to proceed to acquire the Debtor’s Business if the Transactions can be consummated quickly and without excessive or onerous liabilities;

(5) The Debtor has diligently and in good faith marketed the Purchased Assets to secure the highest and best offer therefor. An auction for the Purchased Assets was held on November 8, 2010 pursuant to the Court’s October 12, 2010 Order, Inter Alia, (i) Scheduling a Hearing to Approve the Asset Purchase Agreement with Coast Ranier Acquisition Company for Sale of the Debtor’s Assets Free and Clear of Liens; (ii) Approving the Form and Manner of Notice; (iii) Approving Expense Reimbursement; (iv) Approving Bidding Procedures; and (v) Approving Procedures for Assumption and Assignment of Executory Contracts (the “Bid Procedures Order”).

(6) The Buyer’s bid, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement represents a fair and reasonable purchase price and constitutes the highest and best offer obtainable for the Purchased Assets.

H. A sale of the Purchased Assets at this time to the Buyer pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(b) is the best alternative to (i) preserve the enterprise value of the Purchased Assets, (ii) provide employment for the Debtor’s employees, and (iii) maximize the value of the Debtor’s estate for the benefit of all constituencies. Delaying the sale undoubtedly will result in a loss of value of the Purchased Assets.

I. The Purchase Agreement was negotiated and proposed at arms’-length without collusion or fraud, and in good faith within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Auction was conducted at arms’ length and in good faith within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

J. The Buyer is a good faith purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as such, is entitled to all of the protections afforded thereby.

K. The consideration provided by the Buyer for the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (i) is fair and reasonable, (ii) is the highest and best offer for the Purchased Assets determined following the Auction, (iii) will provide a greater recovery for the Debtor's creditors than would be provided by any other practical available alternative, and (iv) constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration under the Bankruptcy Code and under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia.

L. The transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer will be a legal, valid, and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets, will vest the Buyer with all right, title, and interest of the Debtor to the Purchased Assets free and clear to the fullest extent permitted under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law of all Interests in such property of any Person or entity, including, without limitation, all Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever arising under or out of, or in connection with, or in any way relating to the operation of the Business prior to the Closing or any acts of Debtor.

M. The Buyer would not have entered into the Purchase Agreement and would not consummate the Transactions, thus adversely affecting the Debtor, its estate, and its creditors, if the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer and the assignment of the Assumed Executory Contracts to the Buyer was not free and clear of all Interests, or if the Buyer would, or in the future could, be liable for any of such Interests.

N. The Debtor may sell the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Interests because, in each case, one or more of the prerequisites set forth in 11 U.S.C. § 363(f)(1)-(5) has been satisfied. The Senior Lenders, who hold first priority liens and security interests in the Purchased Assets and the Debtor’s secured lender (the “Junior Lender”) under that certain Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 18,2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented, refunded, refinanced, or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time, the "Junior Lender Term Loan Agreement”) who holds second priority liens and security interests in the Purchased Assets, consent to the Transactions and to the Sale Motion, thereby satisfying the condition set forth in 11 U.S.C. § 363(f)(2).

O. Those holders of Interests who did not object, or who withdrew their objections, to the Transactions or the Sale Motion are deemed to have consented pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(f)(2). Other holders of Interests who objected to the Sale Motion fall within one or more of the other subsections of 11 U.S.C. § 363(f) and are adequately protected by having their Interests, if any, attach to the cash proceeds of the Sale attributable to the property against or in which they assert an Interest, in the same order of priority that existed prior to the Closing and subject to all objections, counterclaims, recoupments and other defenses of the Debtor’s estate.

P. The (i) transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer and (ii) assumption and assignment to the Buyer of the Assumed Executory Contracts and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities expressly stated in the Purchase Agreement, will not subject the Buyer to any liability with respect to the operation of the Debtor’s business that accrued or arose prior to the Closing or by reason of such transfer under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, or possession thereof, or the District of Columbia, based, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on any theory of law or equity, including, without limitation, any theory of equitable law (including any theory of antitrust or successor or transferee liability).

Q. The Debtor has demonstrated that it is an exercise of its sound business judgment to assume and assign the Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases to the Buyer in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, and the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, and its creditors. The Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases being assigned to, and any related Assumed Liabilities being assumed by, the Buyer are an integral part of the Business being purchased by the Buyer and, accordingly, such assumption and assignment of Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases and Assumed Liabilities are reasonable, enhance the value of the Debtor’s estate, and do not constitute unfair discrimination. Except for Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases in which the non-debtor party waived any existing defaults in connection with the assumption and assignment to Buyer thereof, the Debtor has (i) cured, or has provided adequate assurance of cure, of any default existing prior to the date hereof under any of the Assumed Executory Contracts, within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(1)(A), and (ii) provided compensation or adequate assurance of compensation to any party for any actual pecuniary loss to such party resulting from a default prior to the date hereof under any of the Assumed Executory Contracts, with the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(1)(B), and the Buyer has provided adequate assurance of the future performance of and under the Assumed Executory Contracts, within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(1)(C).

R. The Transactions do not constitute a sub ▇▇▇▇ Chapter 11 plan for which approval has been sought without the protections that a disclosure statement would afford. The Transactions neither impermissibly restructure the rights of Debtor’s creditors nor impermissibly dictate a liquidating plan of reorganization for the Debtor.

S. There was no evidence of insider influence or improper conduct by the Buyer or its affiliates in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement with the Debtor. There also was no evidence of fraud or collusion among the Buyer, its affiliates or any other bidder for the Debtors’ assets, or collusion between the Debtor and the Buyer or its affiliates to the detriment of any other bidders.

T. Immediately prior to the entry of this Order, the Buyer was not an “insider” or “affiliate” of the Debtor, as those terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and no common identity of incorporators, directors or stockholders existed between the Buyer and the Debtor. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer is not purchasing all of the Debtor’s assets in that the Buyer is not purchasing any of the Excluded Assets, and the Buyer is not holding itself out to the public as a continuation of the Debtor. Those of the Debtor’s employees who are to be employed by the Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are being hired under new employment contracts or other arrangements to be entered into or to become effective at the time of the Closing.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

General Provisions

1. The Sale Motion is granted, as further described herein.

7. Except as expressly permitted or otherwise specifically provided by the Purchase Agreement or this Order, all Persons and other entities holding Interests against or in the Debtor or the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to, all debt security holders, equity security holders, governmental, tax, and regulatory authorities, lenders, trade and other unsecured creditors (whether legal or equitable, secured or unsecured, matured or unmatured, contingent or non-contingent, senior or subordinated), arising under or out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to, the Debtor, the Purchased Assets, the operation of the Debtor's business prior to the Closing, or the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer, hereby are forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting against the Buyer, its successors or assigns, its property or interests or the Purchased Assets, such Persons’ or other entities’ Interests.

9.

In each instance, the Buyer shall have no liability or obligation in connection with any Assumed Executory Contract accruing or arising prior to the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement.

12. Each non-Debtor party to an Assumed Executory Contract and Lease hereby is forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting against the Buyer, or the property of the Buyer, any default existing as of the Closing Date, or any counterclaim, defense, setoff or any other claim asserted or assertable against the Debtor in connection with such Assumed Executory Contract and Lease.

14. The failure of the Debtor or the Buyer to enforce at any time one or more terms or conditions of any Assumed Executory Contract and Lease shall not be a waiver of such terms or conditions, or of the Debtor’s or the Buyer’s rights to enforce every term and condition of the Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases.

15. The Buyer's right to designate Additional Designated Executory Contracts pursuant to Section 2.5(b) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby preserved.

Such amounts shall be paid first in priority to the Buyer from the proceeds of any sale or other transaction involving the Purchased Assets, whether such sale or other transaction is implemented pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363 or through any plan of reorganization or liquidation filed in this bankruptcy case. No liens or security interests shall attach to such amounts.

21. Each and every federal, state, and local governmental agency or department is hereby directed to accept any and all documents and instruments necessary and appropriate to consummate the Transactions.

22. If any Person that has filed financing statements, mortgages, mechanic's liens, lis pendens, or other documents or agreements evidencing an Interest in the Debtor or the Purchased Assets shall not have delivered to the Debtor prior to Closing, in proper form for filing and executed by the appropriate parties, termination statements, instruments of satisfaction, releases of such Interest which such Person has or may hold with respect to the Debtor or the Purchased Assets or otherwise, then (a) the Debtor is hereby authorized and directed to execute and file such statements, instruments, releases and other documents on behalf of such Person with respect to the Purchased Assets, and (b) the Buyer is hereby authorized to file, register, or otherwise record a certified copy of this Order, which, once filed, registered, or otherwise recorded, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the release of all Interests in the Purchased Assets of any kind or nature whatsoever.

25. Under no circumstances shall the Buyer be deemed a successor of or to the Debtor for any Interest against or in the Debtor or the Purchased Assets of any kind or nature whatsoever. The sale, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Purchased Assets shall not be subject to any Interests, and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever shall remain with, and continue to be obligations of, the Debtor. All Persons hereby are forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting, prosecuting, or otherwise pursuing any action against the Buyer, any Affiliate of the Buyer or any successor or assign of the Buyer or such Affiliate, the Purchased Assets, or any other property of the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer or any successor or assign of the Buyer or such Affiliate, in each case with respect to any Interest such Person had, has, or may have against or in the Debtor, its estate, officers, directors, shareholders, or the Purchased Assets (as such Purchased Assets existed prior to the Closing). Following the Closing, no holder of any Interest against the Debtor or the Purchased Assets (as such Purchased Assets existed prior to the Closing) shall interfere with the title to, or use and enjoyment of, the Purchased Assets based on or related to such Interest, or based upon actions taken or omissions that occurred in the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case.

26. This Court retains exclusive jurisdiction to (i) interpret, enforce, implement and resolve any disputes arising under or in connection with the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, all amendments thereto, any waivers and consents thereunder, and any agreements executed in connection therewith, the Bidding Procedures Order and this Order, (ii) compel delivery of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer and (iii) protect the Buyer against (a) any liabilities relating to or in connection with the Debtor or the Purchased Assets that do not constitute Assumed Liabilities, or (b) any Interests in the Debtor or the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that in the event that the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising or declines to exercise jurisdiction with respect to any matter provided for in this clause or is without jurisdiction, such abstention, refusal or lack of jurisdiction shall have no effect upon and shall not control, prohibit or limit the exercise of jurisdiction of any other court having competent jurisdiction with respect to any such matter.

27. Nothing contained in any order entered in this bankruptcy case subsequent to the entry of this Order, nor in any plan of reorganization (or liquidation) confirmed in this case (or any other case involving the Debtor) or order of this Court confirming such plan shall conflict with or derogate from the provisions of the Purchase Agreement or the terms of this Order. To the extent that there is such a conflict, the Purchase Agreement and this Order control. Furthermore, to the extent that there is any conflict between the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Order, the Purchase Agreement controls.

28. Effective upon the Closing Date, this Order shall constitute a general release by the Debtor and its estate of the Purchaser Group (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), to the extent set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to effect a release of the Purchaser Group with respect to Buyer’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

29. The transfer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall not subject the Buyer to any liability with respect to the operation of the business prior to the Closing Date or by reason of such transfer under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, or possession thereof, or the District of Columbia, based, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on any theory of law or equity, including, without limitation, any theory of equitable subordination or successor or transferee liability.

30. The reversal or modification on appeal of the authorization provided herein to consummate the Transactions shall not affect the validity of the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Sale to the Buyer or the assumption and assignment to the Buyer of the Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases, unless such authorization is duly stayed pending such appeal.

31. The terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement and this Order shall be binding in all respects upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Debtor, its estate, and its creditors and interest holders, the Buyer, and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and any affected third parties including, but not limited to, all non-Debtor parties to Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases, all Persons asserting Interests in the Purchased Assets, and any trustees, examiners, “responsible persons” or other fiduciaries appointed in the Debtor’s bankruptcy case or under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchase Agreement shall not be subject to rejection or avoidance under any circumstance.

32. Neither the Purchase Agreement, nor the consummation of the Transactions contemplated thereby, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time) (a) contravenes, conflicts with or results in a violation of, or gives any Governmental Authority or other Person or entity the right to challenge the Transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any federal, state, county or local law, statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, code or any decree, ruling, order, writ, injunction, award or judgment of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Debtor or with respect to which any of the Purchased Assets is subject, or (b) shall result in the imposition or creation of any Interest or other rights of a third party upon or with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets.

33. Neither the Debtor nor the Buyer is required to make any filing with or give any notice to, or to obtain any approval, consent, ratification, permission, waiver or authorization from, any Person or any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions (other than with respect to governmental licenses which do not constitute Purchased Assets), and the Debtor does not need to seek or obtain shareholder consent to consummate the Transactions.
