AMENDMENT NO. 2 AND AGREEMENT dated as of May 12, 2006 (this “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of December 17, 2003 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 14, 2004, the “Credit Agreement”), among SENSUS METERING SYSTEMS INC. (the “Borrower”), SENSUS METERING SYSTEMS (LUXCO 2) S.À.R.L. (the “European Borrower” and, together with the Borrower, the “Borrowers”), SENSUS METERING SYSTEMS (BERMUDA 2) LTD. (“Holdings”), the Lenders and CREDIT SUISSE (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston), as General Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), U.S. Collateral Agent, European Administrative Agent and European Collateral Agent for the Lenders.

A. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended credit to the Borrowers.

B. The Borrowers have requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to, among other things, provide for New Term Loans (as defined in Section 1 below), the proceeds of which will be used to repay in full all currently outstanding Term Loans.

C. Each Lender with outstanding Term B-1 Loans (each, an “Existing Term B-1 Lender”) will be afforded the opportunity to exchange its Existing Term B-1 Loans (as defined below) for New Term B-1 Loans (as defined in Section 1 below) on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Term B-1 Loans of such Existing Term B-1 Lender on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Each Existing Term B-1 Lender that executes and delivers a signature page to this Amendment (each, a “Continuing Term B-1 Lender”) will be deemed to have agreed to the terms of this Amendment and to have so acquired New Term B-1 Loans in such aggregate principal amount, in each case upon the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Each Existing Term B-1 Lender that does not execute and deliver a signature page to this Amendment at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 12, 2006 (each such Existing Term B-1 Lender, a “Departing Term B-1 Lender”) will be deemed not to have agreed to this Amendment, and the Borrower will repay or cause to be repaid the outstanding principal amount of such Existing Term B-1 Lender’s Term B-1 Loans upon the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

D. Each person (other than a Continuing Term B-1 Lender in its capacity as such or a Departing Term B-1 Lender) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (each, an “Additional Term B-1 Lender”) will, on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, make New Term B-1 Loans to the Borrower in the manner contemplated by Section 3 hereof. The cash proceeds to the Borrower of any such New Term B-1 Loans will be used solely to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans outstanding on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date just prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment (“Existing Term B-1 Loans”) of Departing Term B-1 Lenders. The Existing Term B-1 Loans of Continuing Term B-1 Lenders shall be deemed to have been repaid in full upon the exchange thereof for New Term B-1 Loans in the same aggregate principal amount on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

E. Each Lender with outstanding Term B-2 Loans (each, an “Existing Term B-2 Lender”; the Existing Term B-2 Lenders and the Existing Term B-1 Lenders are referred to herein collectively as the “Existing Lenders”) will be afforded the opportunity to exchange its Existing Term B-2 Loans (as defined below) for New Term B-2 Loans (as defined in Section 1 below) on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate


principal amount of the outstanding Term B-2 Loans of such Existing Term B-2 Lender on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Each Existing Term B-2 Lender that executes and delivers a signature page to this Amendment (each, a “Continuing Term B-2 Lender”; the Continuing Term B-2 Lenders and the Continuing Term B-1 Lenders are referred to herein collectively as the “Continuing Lenders”) will be deemed to have agreed to the terms of this Amendment and to have so acquired New Term B-2 Loans in such aggregate principal amount, in each case upon the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Each Existing Term B-2 Lender that does not execute and deliver a signature page to this Amendment at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 12, 2006 (each such Existing Term B-2 Lender, a “Departing Term B-2 Lender”; the Departing Term B-2 Lenders and the Departing Term B-1 Lenders are referred to herein collectively as the “Departing Lenders”) will be deemed not to have agreed to this Amendment, and the European Borrower will repay or cause to be repaid the outstanding principal amount of such Existing Term B-2 Lender’s Term B-2 Loans upon the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

F. Each person (other than a Continuing Term B-2 Lender in its capacity as such or a Departing Term B-2 Lender) set forth on Schedule II attached hereto (each, an “Additional Term B-2 Lender”; the Additional Term B-2 Lenders and the Additional Term B-1 Lenders are referred to herein collectively as the “Additional Lenders”) will, on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, make New Term B-2 Loans to the European Borrower in the manner contemplated by Section 3 hereof. The cash proceeds to the European Borrower of any such New Term B-2 Loans will be used solely to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Term B-2 Loans outstanding on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date just prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment (“Existing Term B-2 Loans” and, together with the Existing Term B-1 Loans, the “Existing Term Loans”) of Departing Term B-2 Lenders. The Existing Term B-2 Loans of Continuing Term B-2 Lenders shall be deemed to have been repaid in full upon the exchange thereof for New Term B-2 Loans in the same aggregate principal amount on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

G.

Notwithstanding that the Existing Term Loans shall be refinanced in full on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments (other than as set forth in Section 3(d) above) will continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of, each Existing Term Loan Lender in respect of such Existing Term Lender’s Existing Term Loans under the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein. After the date hereof, any reference to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement, as modified hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
