Section 1.02    Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Annex X shall govern. All Appendices hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.

Section 2.01.    Agreement to Transfer.

(a)    Receivables Transfers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Existing Originator reaffirms the prior sales pursuant to the Existing Sale Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Originator agrees to sell (without recourse except to the limited extent specifically provided herein) to Buyer on the Restatement Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter (each such date, a “Transfer Date”) all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date, and Buyer agrees to purchase all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date.

(b)    Determination of Sold Receivables. On and as of each Transfer Date, each Receivable then owned by each Originator and not previously acquired by Buyer shall be sold immediately upon its creation (each such Receivable sold immediately upon its creation, individually, a “Sold Receivable” and, collectively, the “Sold Receivables”).

(c)    Payment of Sale Price. (i) In consideration for each Sale of Sold Receivables hereunder, Buyer shall pay to the Originator thereof on the Transfer Date therefor the applicable Sale Price therefor (x) in Dollars in immediately available funds, (y) upon the request of an Originator, by causing an L/C Issuer to issue a Letter of Credit for the benefit of such Originator as more fully described in clause (iii) below, or (z) with the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan as provided in clause (ii) below. All cash payments by Buyer under this Section 2.01(c)(i) shall be effected by means of a wire transfer or Automatic Clearinghouse (ACH) on the day when due to such account or accounts as the Originators may designate from time to time.

(ii)    To the extent that the Sale Price of Sold Receivables exceeds the amount of cash then available to Buyer (and is not otherwise paid through the issuance of a Letter of Credit and an advance under the related L/C Note), the applicable Originator hereby agrees to make a subordinated loan (each, a “Subordinated Loan”) to Buyer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of such excess in satisfaction of the equivalent portion of the Sale Price not paid in cash and (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. The Subordinated Loans of an Originator shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) hereto (each, a “Subordinated Note”) executed by Buyer and payable to such Originator. The Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the applicable Subordinated Note.

(iii)    If an Originator so requests, Buyer shall pay all or part of the Sale Price of Sold Receivables of such Originator to be paid by causing the Administrative Agent to arrange for

the issuance by an L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit in favor of one or more beneficiaries selected by such Originator. In the event that an Originator requests that all or any portion of the Sale Price of Sold Receivables be paid for by issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Originator shall on a timely basis provide Buyer with such information as is necessary for Buyer to obtain such Letter of Credit from the applicable L/C Issuer (pursuant to the terms of the Funding Agreement). Such Originator shall reimburse Buyer for its expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Letter of Credit and shall also pay to Buyer a fee in an amount equal to .125% of the face amount thereof for procuring such Letter of Credit; provided that such fee may be offset against the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator. No Originator shall have any reimbursement obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit. The face amount of each Letter of Credit shall be applied (x) as a deduction from the applicable Sale Price otherwise payable by Buyer, (y) to the extent such face amount exceeds such Sale Price, as a reduction in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note of the related Originator and (z) to the extent the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note has been reduced to zero, as a credit against the Sale Price payable for future purchases of Receivables. The aggregate deductions, reductions and credits under clauses (x), (y) and (z) of the preceding sentence shall be evidenced by a note in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(iii) hereto (a “L/C Note”), and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the L/C Note and this Agreement. The principal amount of each L/C Note shall be reduced by the amount of any draws on the related Letters of Credit. In the event that a Letter of Credit (as the same may be extended, replaced or renewed and after giving effect to any partial draws) expires undrawn, the remaining principal amount of the related L/C Note shall be payable within 10 Business Days thereafter and, upon giving effect to such payment, the principal amount of such L/C Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to such payment.

(d)    Election Notices. If on any Transfer Date any Originator does not sell all of its then owned Receivables to Buyer, such Originator shall deliver to Buyer not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Transfer Date a notice of election thereof (each such notice, an “Election Notice”).

(e)    Ownership of Transferred Receivables. On and after each Transfer Date and after giving effect to the Transfers to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables and no Originator shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Originator claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables.

(f)    Reconstruction of General Trial Balance. If at any time any Originator fails to generate its General Trial Balance, Buyer shall have the right to reconstruct such General Trial Balance so that a determination of the Sold Receivables can be made pursuant to Section 2.01(b). Each Originator agrees to cooperate with such reconstruction, including by delivery to Buyer, upon Buyer’s request, of copies of all Records.

(g)    Servicing of Receivables. So long as no Event of Servicer Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and no Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.02, the Servicer shall (i) conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect the Transferred Receivables, all in accordance with (A) the terms of this Agreement, (B) customary and prudent servicing procedures for trade receivables of a similar type and (C) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) hold all Contracts

and other documents and incidents relating to the Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer, as the owner thereof, and for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Transferred Receivables in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer hereby instructs the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges, that the Servicer shall hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and the Servicer’s retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be solely in a custodial capacity for the benefit of the Buyer and its assigns and pledgees.

(h)    Returned Items. To the extent (i) any items in respect of Collections of Transferred Receivables credited to a Collection Account are subsequently returned or otherwise not collected by the related Collection Account Bank (collectively, “Returned Items”) and (ii) an Originator makes a payment to the related Collection Account Bank to reimburse such Collection Account Bank for such Returned Items in accordance with the terms of the related Collection Account Agreement, then (x) such Originator shall be deemed to have made a Subordinated Loan to the Buyer in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Originator in accordance with the terms of the related Collection Account Agreement to such Collection Account Bank in respect of such Returned Items and (y) the outstanding principal balance of the related Subordinated Note shall be increased by an amount equal to such amount.

Section 2.02.    Grant of Security Interest. The parties hereto intend that each Transfer shall be absolute and shall constitute a purchase and true sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and not in derogation of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under Section 2.01 hereof, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale that each Originator shall be deemed to have granted, and each Originator does hereby grant, to Buyer a continuing security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Originator to secure the obligations of such Originator to Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Transfer is recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law, the repayment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to the applicable Originator in the amount of the Sale Price with respect thereto, including interest thereon at the Base Rate). Each Existing Originator reaffirms the prior grants of security interests under the Existing Sale Agreement.

Section 2.03.    Originators Remain Liable. It is expressly agreed by the Originators that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Originator shall remain liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract) under any and all of the Receivables originated by it and under the Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other party to the related Contract under any such Receivables or Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto. The exercise by Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release any Originator from any of its respective duties or obligations under any such Receivables or Contracts. Buyer shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Originator under or pursuant to any such Receivable or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 2.04.    Sale Price Credits. If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of any Dilution Factor then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a

credit (each, a “Sale Price Credit”) against the Sale Price otherwise payable hereunder in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or cancellation. If such Sale Price Credit exceeds the Sale Price of the Receivables being sold by the applicable Originator on any such day, then such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Sale Price Credit in cash promptly thereafter, provided that if the Commitment Termination Date has not occurred, the applicable Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Sale Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under a Subordinated Note to the extent permitted thereunder.

Section 3.01.    Conditions Precedent to all Transfers. Each Transfer hereunder shall be subject to satisfaction of the following further conditions precedent as of the Transfer Date therefor:

(a)    the representations and warranties of each Originator contained herein or in any other Related Document shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such Transfer Date, both before and after giving effect to such Transfer and to the application of the Sale Price therefor, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date and except for changes therein expressly permitted by this Agreement;

(b)    (i) the Administrative Agent shall not have declared the Commitment Termination Date to have occurred following the continuance of a Termination Event, and (ii) the Commitment Termination Date shall not have automatically occurred, in either event, in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Funding Agreement; and

(c)    each Originator shall have taken such other action, including delivery of approvals, consents, opinions, documents and instruments to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request.

The acceptance by any Originator of the Sale Price for any Sold Receivables on any Transfer Date shall be deemed to constitute, as of any such Transfer Date, a representation and warranty by such Originator that the conditions precedent set forth in this Article III have been satisfied. Upon any such acceptance, title to the Transferred Receivables sold on such Transfer Date shall be vested absolutely in Buyer, whether or not such conditions were in fact so satisfied.

(o)    Margin Regulations.

No Transaction Party owns any Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Sale Price from any Sale will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

(p)    Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Originator contained in this Agreement, and no breach or default by any Originator hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Buyer unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of Buyer and directed to such Originator specifying such suspension or waiver.

Each Originator and the Servicer agrees that, upon any such assignment, such assignee may enforce directly, without joinder of Buyer, the rights set forth in this Agreement. All such assignees, including parties to the Funding Agreement in the case of any assignment to such parties, shall be third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under, this Agreement to the same extent as Buyer or any of its designated representatives may do. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Originator, the Servicer and Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and, except for the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent, no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.07.    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (INCLUDING 735 ILCS SECTION 105/5-1 ET SEQ.

THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 7.01.    Appointment of the Servicer.

In connection therewith, the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations set forth herein. The Servicer may, (a) subcontract with Zurn Industries, LLC for the collection, servicing or administration of the Transferred Receivables originated by Zurn Industries, LLC and/or Zurn PEX, Inc. and (b) with the prior written consent of the Buyer, subcontract with a Sub-Servicer for the collection, servicing or administration of the Transferred Receivables; provided, that (i) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of such Sub-Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Transferred Receivables involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, and Buyer shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer and (iii) each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly provide that it shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.02.    Duties and Responsibilities of the Servicer.

(b)    In addition to the foregoing, in order to ensure that the Buyer has adequate funding for the purchase of Receivables hereunder, the Servicer shall be responsible for the following:

(iii)    establishment, maintenance and administration of the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Account in accordance with Article VI of the Funding Agreement.

Section 7.03.    Collections on Receivables.

(a)    In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which Collections have been received from the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree that such Collections shall be deemed to have been received on such Receivables in the order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor. In addition, if an Obligor is an obligor on Transferred Receivables and any other Receivables or indebtedness owed to any Originator, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates then, unless otherwise required by applicable law, Collections on such Transferred Receivables or other Receivables or indebtedness shall be treated first, as a Collection of any Transferred Receivables of such Obligor, in the order in which they were originated, before being applied to any other

Receivables or other indebtedness of such Obligor. In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which discounts, offsets or other non-cash reductions have been granted or made with respect to the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree for purposes of this Agreement only that such reductions shall be deemed to have been granted or made (i) prior to a Termination Event, on such Receivables as determined by the Servicer, and (ii) from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in the reverse order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.

(b)    If the Servicer determines that amounts unrelated to the Transferred Receivables (the “Unrelated Amounts”) have been deposited in any Account, then the Servicer shall provide written evidence thereof to the Buyer no later than the first Business Day following the day on which the Servicer had actual knowledge thereof, which evidence shall be provided in writing and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Buyer.

(c)    Authorization of the Servicer. Buyer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the rights of the Buyer hereunder, in the determination of the Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts due under any Transferred Receivable, including endorsing the applicable name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on such Receivable, and executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to any such Receivable and (b) after any Transferred Receivable becomes a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, commencing proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of any such Receivable and the Contract therefor and adjusting, settling or compromising any payments due thereunder, in each case to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Receivable. The Buyer shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Buyer shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (at the Servicer’s expense) (i) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Transferred Receivable or (ii) to foreclose upon, repossess or take any other action that the Buyer deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make Buyer or any Secured Party a party to any Litigation without, as the case may be, Buyer or such Secured Party’s express prior written consent.

(d)    Servicing Fees. As compensation for its servicing activities and as reimbursement for its reasonable expenses in connection therewith, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees monthly on each Settlement Date. Such Servicing Fees shall be payable from available funds in accordance with Sections 2.07 and 2.08 of the Funding Agreement. The Servicer shall be required to pay for all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including any payments to accountants, counsel or any other Person) and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fees.

If a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer authorizes Buyer to discuss matters relating to the Transferred Receivables or its performance under this Agreement or the other Related Documents or its affairs, finances and accounts directly with its independent certified public accountants (subject to reasonable requirements of confidentiality, including requirements imposed by law or by contract).

(j)    Collection of Transferred Receivables. In connection with the collection of amounts due or to become due under the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements and any other Borrower Collateral, the Servicer shall take such action as it, and from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Buyer may deem necessary or desirable to enforce collection of the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements and the other Borrower Collateral; provided that the applicable Originator may, rather than commencing any such action or taking any other enforcement action, at its option, elect to pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of any such Transferred Receivable. If (i) a Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the Buyer in good faith believes that a Trigger Event is imminent, then the Buyer may, without prior notice to any Originator or the Servicer, (x) exercise its right to take exclusive ownership and control of (1) the Collections and the Collection Accounts in accordance with the terms of the applicable Collection Account Agreements and (2) the Concentration Account and (y) notify any

Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the sale to Buyer of such Transferred Receivables and of the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Buyer thereunder be made directly to the Buyer or any servicer, collection agent or Lockbox or other account designated by the Buyer and the Buyer may enforce collection of any such Transferred Receivable or the Borrower Assigned Agreements and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

(n)    Commingling. The Servicer shall not (and shall cause each other member of the Parent Group not to) deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections of Transferred

Receivables into any Lockbox or Collection Account except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.03(l) hereof. If any funds not constituting Collections of Transferred Receivables are nonetheless deposited into a Lockbox or Collection Account and the Servicer so notifies Buyer, Buyer shall promptly remit any such amounts to the applicable Originator. So long as any Transferred Receivables of an Obligor remain unpaid, the Servicer shall not instruct such Obligor to remit Collections of any Receivables to any Person or account other than to a Lockbox or Collection Account.

(j)    a deterioration has taken place in the quality of servicing of Transferred Receivables or other Receivables serviced by the Servicer that the Buyer, in its sole discretion, determines to be material, and such material deterioration has not been eliminated within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the Administrative Agent to the Servicer; or

(k)    the Servicer shall assign or purport to assign any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer; or

Upon the delivery of any such notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer acting pursuant to Section 9.02; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer agrees to continue to follow

the procedures set forth in Section 7.02 with respect to Collections on the Transferred Receivables until a Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 9.02.

Section 9.01.    Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder has become impermissible under applicable law or regulation and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder become permissible under applicable law. Any such determination shall (i) with respect to clause (a) above, be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect and (ii) with respect to clause (b) above, be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect, in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 9.02.

Section 9.02.    Appointment of the Successor Servicer. In connection with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities or the resignation by the Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.01 or 9.01, the Buyer may at any time appoint a successor servicer to the Servicer that shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement (the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, or such successor servicer being referred to as the “Successor Servicer”); provided, that the Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility for any actions of the Servicer prior to the date of its appointment or assumption of duties as Successor Servicer. In selecting a Successor Servicer, the Buyer may (but shall not be required to) obtain bids from any potential Successor Servicer and may agree to any bid it deems appropriate. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by executing, acknowledging and delivering to the Buyer an instrument in form and substance acceptable to the Buyer.

Section 9.03.    Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer covenants and agrees that, following the appointment of, or assumption of duties by, a Successor Servicer:

(a)    The Servicer shall terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that facilitates the transfer of servicing duties to the Successor Servicer and is otherwise acceptable to the Buyer and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall, at its own expense, timely deliver (i) any funds to the Administrative Agent that were required to be remitted to the Administrative Agent under the Funding Agreement and (ii) copies of all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer at a place selected by the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement and shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may be required to vest and confirm in the Successor Servicer all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring all files and other documents in respect of the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.

(b)    The Servicer shall terminate each existing Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Successor Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer’s interests therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party thereto.

(c)    In the event that the Servicer is terminated as Servicer hereunder but no Successor Servicer has been appointed, the Servicer shall timely deliver to the Administrative Agent or its designee, at a place designated by the Administrative Agent or such designee, all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables which otherwise would be required to be delivered to the Successor Servicer under Section 9.03(a) above, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring such files and other documents to the Administrative Agent shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.

Section 9.04.    Effect of Termination or Resignation. Any termination of or resignation by the Servicer hereunder shall not affect any claims that the Buyer or its assigns may have against the Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Section 9.05.    Power of Attorney. On the Restatement Effective Date, the Servicer shall execute and deliver a power of attorney in substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.05 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Transferred Receivables have been indefeasibly paid or otherwise written off as uncollectible. The powers conferred on the Buyer under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the interests of the Buyer in the Transferred Receivables and the ability of the Successor Servicer to assume the servicing rights, powers and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and shall not impose any duty upon the Buyer or the Successor Servicer to exercise any such powers.

Section 9.06.    No Proceedings. Each Originator and Servicer agrees that, from and after the Restatement Effective Date and until the date one year plus one day following the Termination Date, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against Buyer any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(e) of the Funding Agreement. This Section 9.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amended and Restated Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement to be executed by their respective duly authorized representatives, as of the date first above written.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, REXNORD FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [______________], a [___________] (the “Subordinated Lender”), or its assigns, at 511 W. Freshwater Way, Milwaukee, WI 53204, or at such other place as the holder of this Subordinated Note (“Note”) may designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Subordinated Loans (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) made to the Borrower, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Final Advance Date or (ii) the Termination Date (in each case, as defined in the Funding Agreement referred to below) together with interest thereon from time to time from the Restatement Effective Date (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) at the rate shown in The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” on such date (the “Interest Rate”) on the unpaid principal amount of each Subordinated Loan for the period commencing on and including the date of such Subordinated Loan to but excluding the date such Subordinated Loan is paid in full.

The date, amount and interest rate of each Subordinated Loan made by the Subordinated Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Subordinated Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note, endorsed by the Subordinated Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof. The books of the Subordinated Lender and such schedule shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Subordinated Lender by the Borrower; provided, that any failure of the Subordinated Lender to record a notation in its books or on the schedule to this Note as aforesaid or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay Subordinated Loans in accordance with their respective terms set forth herein.

All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in (i) the Amended and Restated Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be subsequently amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Sale Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender, the other Originators thereunder and Rexnord Industries, Inc. or (ii) the Receivables Funding and Administration Agreement of even date herewith, by and among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as administrative agent (as the same may be subsequently amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Funding Agreement”), as the case may be. This Note is issued pursuant to the Sale Agreement and is one of the Subordinated Notes referred to therein. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sale

Agreement and all other instruments evidencing the indebtedness hereunder, including the other Related Documents, are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full.

The Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily repay, in whole or in part, all Subordinated Loans made hereunder. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder; provided, that all repayments of Subordinated Loans or any portion thereof shall be made together with payment of all interest accrued on the amount repaid to (but excluding) the date of such repayment.

Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from time to time in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month. All computations of interest shall be made by the Subordinated Lender on the basis of a 365 day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. The Interest Rate shall be determined (i) on the first Business Day immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date for calculation of the Interest Rate for the period from the Restatement Effective Date through the end of the first calendar month following the Restatement Effective Date, and (ii) as of the last Business Day of each month for use in calculating the interest that is payable for the following calendar month, and the Interest Rate so determined shall be utilized for such calendar month. Each determination by the Subordinated Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error). The Borrower shall pay interest at the applicable Interest Rate on unpaid interest on any Subordinated Loan or any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof to (but excluding) the date the same is indefeasibly paid in full.

If any payment or prepayment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the Interest Rate during such extension.

As set forth below, the indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is subordinate in right of payment to (i) all Borrower Obligations and all renewals, extensions, refinancings or refundings of any such obligations (whether for principal, interest (including but not limited to interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”) whether or not such interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, indemnities, repurchase price, expenses or otherwise) and (ii) all amounts from time to time owing by the Borrower under each L/C Note (collectively, the “Senior Obligations”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, any holder of a Senior Obligation, and may not be terminated, amended or otherwise revoked until the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms. This Subordinated Note shall not be subject to any defense or any rights of set-off, including on account of any past or present debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Trigger Event, the Subordinated Lender shall not demand, accelerate, sue for, take, receive or accept from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) any payment of or security for all or any part of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same. The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after all of the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms, the Subordinated Lender will not take any action to institute any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or

which would be reasonably likely to cause the Borrower to be subject to, or seek the protection of, any such Insolvency Proceeding.

If the Borrower becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the holders of the Senior Obligations shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or with respect to the Senior Obligations before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of this Subordinated Note. Accordingly, any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable Insolvency Proceeding, that would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrative Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Obligations until such Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Subordinated Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”). In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Subordinated Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder is less than the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Subordinated Lender from the making of Subordinated Loans hereunder is equal to the total interest that Subordinated Lender would have received had the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the amount of interest payable from the Restatement Effective Date. Thereafter, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be the amount determined in accordance with the terms hereof unless and until the amount so calculated again exceeds the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Subordinated Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. In the event the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Note, shall make a final determination that Subordinated Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Subordinated Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due and not yet paid hereunder, then to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loans, then to fees and any other unpaid charges, and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
