SEPARATION AGREEMENT, WAIVER and GENERAL RELEASE

This Separation Agreement, Waiver and General Release (“Agreement”) is made by and between Sensus USA Inc. (the “Company”) and Jeffrey J. Kyle (“Employee”).

For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree, covenant and stipulate as follows:

a. References herein to “the Company” mean Sensus USA Inc. and any other direct or indirect wholly or partially owned subsidiary of Sensus (Bermuda 1) Ltd, a Bermuda company, as well as their current and former shareholders, officers, directors, administrators, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns.

b. References herein to “Employee”, “I” or “you” mean Employee and his/her agents, attorneys, personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs and beneficiaries.

Both you and the Company agree that your employment with the Company shall be terminated effective at the close of business on Monday February 14, 2011 (the “Termination Date”).

a. The Company agrees to pay to Employee a total of Two Hundred and Seventeen Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($217,500) representing nine (9) months’ Base Salary (as defined in that certain “Employment and Non-Interference Agreement” between Sensus USA Inc. and Employee, dated December 8, 2008 (the “Employment Contract”)) less all applicable withholding taxes and payroll deductions, in accordance with the terms of the Sensus USA, Inc. Severance Plan and the Employment Contract. This amount will be paid to Employee in a lump sum on the next regularly scheduled payday occurring more than ten (10) days after Employee executes this Agreement.

b. The Company agrees to release Employee from his obligation to repay the Company that certain Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) in advances made by the Company to Employee on or about September and October 2009. Further, the Company shall “gross up” this amount for federal and state income tax purposes, such that the net effect to Employee is a $75,000 benefit. Employee acknowledges that, but for this release, he would be obliged to repay this amount to the Company.

c. The Company agrees to pay Employee the amount of Nine Thousand, Five Hundred and Eighty-Nine Dollars and Fifty-Six Cents ($9,589.56) less applicable withholding taxes and payroll deductions, in accordance with the terms of the Sensus USA, Inc. Severance Plan. This payment is intended to represent an amount that may be sufficient to enable Employee to pay the required percentage of his/her COBRA health insurance premiums for 9 months for coverage under the Company’s group health plan (including health, dental and vision benefits) for the same level of coverage Employee currently has in effect under the Company’s group health on the day immediately preceding the Termination Date. Notwithstanding this express intention, the parties recognize and acknowledge that Employee is free to spend this payment as he chooses. This amount will be paid to Employee in a lump sum on the next regularly scheduled payday occurring more than ten (10) days after Employee executes this Agreement. Employee understands that he/she may be eligible for COBRA premium assistance pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as amended. Employee understands that following this period, his/her dependents may be eligible to elect to continue COBRA health coverage at Employee’s or their own expense for the balance of the applicable COBRA continuation period or until

COBRA coverage is no longer required to be provided, if sooner. Employee understands that it is his/her responsibility to comply and qualify for the COBRA benefit continuation and to pay the premium cost as required. Employee understands that nothing in this Separation Agreement, Waiver and General Release operates to vary or alter the terms and conditions of the Company’s benefit plan(s). Employee further understands that entitlement to benefits under any other employee benefit plans offered or sponsored by the Company will be governed by the terms and conditions of those plans.

d. All unused and accrued vacation days remaining after the Termination Date will be paid to the Employee within one (1) month of the Termination Date.

e. The Company shall pay Employee the “gross up” amount for both federal and state income tax purposes of the relocation payments which have paid to employee pursuant to the Company’s relocation policy.

f. Employee acknowledges that the above payments and the other consideration provided in this Agreement, in the cumulative, constitute a Special Separation Benefit in accordance with the terms of the Sensus USA, Inc. Severance Plan and are in excess of any amount the Company may be previously obligated to provide to Employee as a terminating employee under Company policy and the Employment Contract.

g. Employee acknowledges and represents that, subject to the Company’s fulfillment of the obligations contained in this Agreement, Employee knows of no unpaid wages and that Employee has no accrued claims relating to any medical condition or relating to any employment leave.
