Credit Agreement among the Company, as Borrower, certain of its
domestic subsidiaries, as Guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Mizuho Bank
(USA), as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto
(the Term Loan Agreement). The Term Loan Agreement, which
would have matured on July 29, 2019, had an outstanding balance
of approximately $337 million plus accrued interest at the time
of its termination.

OnApril 5, 2017, in connection with and substantially concurrent
with the Merger, the Company terminated the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, as Borrower, certain
of its domestic subsidiaries, as Guarantors, Bank of America,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, a Swing Line Lender and an L/C
Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a Swing Line Lender and an
L/C Issuer, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as an L/C Issuer, and the lenders
party thereto (the Revolving Credit Agreement). The
Revolving Credit Agreement provided for an aggregate revolving
commitment of up to $850 million and would have matured on July
29, 2019. The Revolving Credit Agreement also provided that the
Company could request an increase of up to $250 million of
additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to terms and
conditions contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement. In
connection with the termination of the Revolving Credit
Agreement, the Company entered into a replacement letter of
credit facility with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to
$150 million with the same lending group. The Company does not
consider this facility to be material.

On the Closing Date, to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger
Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving
the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Komatsu.

At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time),
to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, $1.00 par
value, of the Company (Joy Global Common Stock) issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger
(other than dissenting shares and shares owned by the Company,
Komatsu or any of their respective subsidiaries) was cancelled
and converted into the right to receive $28.30 per share in cash,
without interest, and subject to any applicable withholding
taxes. The transaction resulted in the payment of approximately
$2.9 billion in merger consideration.

In addition, the Companys stock options (whether vested or
unvested), the Companys restricted share unit awards that were
granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, the Companys
restricted share unit awards that were held by non-employee
directors (whether granted to such director prior to or after the
date of the Merger Agreement) and the Companys performance share
awards that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time were canceled in consideration for the right to
receive cash payments. The Companys restricted share unit awards
granted after the date of the Merger Agreement (other than any
such award granted to non-employee directors), that were
outstanding as of immediately before the Effective Time were
converted into long-term incentive awards that entitle each
holder to receive a fixed amount in cash.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement
is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2016 on Form 8-K,
and which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.

On April 5, 2017, the Company notified the New York Stock
Exchange (the NYSE) that the Merger had closed and

holders of the Notes in lieu of the Companys existing annual,
quarterly and current reporting, which the Company will cease

purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of
which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein
by reference.
