Between June 22, 2006 and June 28, 2006, Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Key Executive Employment and Severance Agreement (the form of which is herein referred to as the “KEESA”) with each of Donald H. Verhoff, Executive Vice President, Technology, W. John Stoddart, Executive Vice President and President, Defense Business, and Michael J. Wuest, Executive Vice President and President, McNeilus Companies, Inc. These agreements are substantially in the form of the corresponding agreements that the Company has entered into with certain other executive officers, which the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.6 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005. Under the KEESA, after a change in control of the Company (as defined in the KEESA), if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than by reason of death, disability or for cause (as defined in the KEESA) or by the executive for good reason (as defined in the KEESA), then the executive is entitled to a cash termination payment and other benefits. The Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company administers the KEESA and selects the executive officers of the Company for eligibility to enter into a KEESA. Simultaneously with their execution of the KEESA, Messrs. Verhoff, Stoddart and Wuest also each executed a Confidentiality and Loyalty Agreement in favor of the Company under which the executives made certain commitments concerning disclosure and assignment of inventions, confidentiality and noncompetition, among other things.
