Ladies and Gentlemen:
This amended and restated commitment letter amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety that certain commitment letter (the “Original Commitment Letter”) dated as of February 14, 2020 (the “Signing Date”) among Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate, “CS”) and Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC (“CSLF”, and, together with CS and their respective affiliates, “Credit Suisse”; and, collectively with any Additional Commitment Parties (as defined below) appointed pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) and Rexnord Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“you” or the “Company”).
The Company, on behalf of its subsidiaries RBS Global, Inc. and Rexnord LLC, has advised the Commitment Parties that Chase Acquisition I, Inc. (“Holdings”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries desires to transfer certain of their respective assets and liabilities to Land Newco, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, and thereafter, desires to cause the outstanding capital stock of Land Newco, Inc. to be distributed to the shareholders of the Company, the parent company of Holdings, after which Land Newco, Inc. shall be merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation (“Regal”), and to consummate the other transactions described on Annex A (the “Transaction Description”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter agreement (together with the annexes attached hereto, this “Commitment Letter”) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the annexes hereto.
1.Commitments; Engagement of the Arrangers; Titles and Roles.
In connection with the Transactions, CS is pleased to advise you of its commitment to, and hereby agrees to provide, 100% of the Facilities (in such capacity, the “Initial Lender” and collectively with any relevant Additional Commitment Parties appointed pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the “Initial Lenders”).

You hereby appoint CSLF to act, and CSLF hereby agrees to act (or to designate one or more of its affiliates to act), as lead arranger and bookrunner for the Facilities, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter (in such capacity, each an “Arranger” and collectively with any relevant Additional Commitment Parties appointed pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the “Arrangers”).  CSLF will have “left” placement in any marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities, and have the role customarily associated with acting as “lead left” with respect thereto.
Each Arranger, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles.  In its capacity as a lead arranger and bookrunner, each Arranger agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (the “Lenders”) that will participate in such Facilities.  
Within 15 business days after the Signing Date, you may appoint up to four additional joint lead arrangers, joint bookrunners agents, co-agents or co-managers (any such arranger, bookrunner, agent, co-agent or co-manager, an “Additional Commitment Party”) or confer other titles in respect of the Facilities in a manner and with economics determined by you (it being understood that to the extent you appoint Additional Commitment Parties or confer other titles in respect of the Facilities, the economics allocated to, and the amount of the commitments of, the Commitment Parties in respect of the Facilities will be reduced ratably by the economics allocated to and the amount of the commitments of such appointed entities upon the execution by such financial institution of customary joinder documentation and, thereafter, each such financial institution shall constitute a “Commitment Party”, “Arranger” and “Initial Lender” hereunder and under the Facilities Fee Letter referred to below; provided that (i) such appointments are made ratably across the Facilities; provided, further, that any Additional Commitment Party may be appointed with a greater than (but not less than) pro rata share of the Revolving Facility, (ii) subject to the proviso in the preceding clause (i), the Initial Lender as of the date hereof shall have not less than 50% of the total economics for each Facility and (iii) no Additional Commitment Party shall have greater economics than any Commitment Party party to this Commitment Letter on the date hereof.  Except as provided in this paragraph, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid to any lender in order to obtain its commitment to participate in any of the Facilities and the Facilities Documentation unless you and the Commitment Parties shall so agree.
2.Fees.  
As consideration for the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder and their agreements to arrange the Facilities, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the nonrefundable fees as set forth in (i) the amended and restated Facilities Fee Letter dated the date hereof between you and us (the “Facilities Fee Letter”) and (ii) the  amended and restated Agent Fee Letter dated the date hereof between you and Credit Suisse (the “Agent Fee Letter”, and, together with the Facilities Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters”).  All fees shall be fully earned when due and payable in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds to the applicable Commitment Party.  You agree that, once paid, no fees contemplated hereby or under the Fee Letters will be refundable under any circumstances, and all fees payable hereunder or thereunder shall be in addition to any other fees payable pursuant to any other agreement.  All fees payable hereunder and under the Fee Letters shall be paid in immediately available funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future applicable taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (with appropriate gross-up for withholding taxes), and shall not be subject to reduction by way of setoff or counterclaim.  In connection with the syndication of the Facilities, each Commitment Party may, in its discretion, allocate to the Lenders portions of any fees

#94173428v3    






payable to such Commitment Party in connection therewith.  All fees received by each Commitment Party hereunder or under the Fee Letters may be shared among such Commitment Party and its affiliates as such Commitment Party may determine in its sole discretion.
3.Syndication; Information; Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Affiliate Activities.  
We reserve the right to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ commitments with respect to the Facilities to Lenders identified by us in consultation with you and subject to your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  For the avoidance of doubt, the syndication provisions contained in this Section 3 apply to each of the Facilities.  Notwithstanding the Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Initial Lenders’ commitments with respect to the Facilities (and receive commitments from the Lenders to such Facilities), it is understood and agreed that except as provided in Section 1 of this Commitment Letter, (i) any syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, all or any portion of an Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder (and your cooperation therewith, including pursuant to this Section 3) prior to the initial funding under such Facilities shall not be a condition to such Initial Lender’s commitments nor reduce such Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder with respect to such Facilities (provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, assignments of an Initial Lender’s commitments, which are effective simultaneously with the funding of such commitments by the assignee, shall be permitted), (ii) notwithstanding any assignment or other transfer by an Initial Lender, no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder in connection with any syndication, assignment or other transfer except in accordance with the Commitment Letter and (iii) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications and amendments.
We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly after the date hereof, and you agree to assist us in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us and you until the earlier to occur of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Facilities Fee Letter) and 45 days after the Closing Date (such later date, the “Syndication Date”).  During such period, such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors of you and the proposed Lenders, in all such cases at times mutually agreed upon, (c) assistance by you in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum (“Customary Information Memorandum”) for each of the Facilities and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, (d) your using commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Arrangers with all additional financial and other information as the Arrangers may reasonably request with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries and the Transactions, (e) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, upon our request, prior to the commencement of general syndication of the Facilities, as applicable, (i) public ratings (but no specific rating) for such Facility and (ii) a public corporate credit rating (but no specific rating) and public corporate family rating (but no specific rating) in respect of the Borrowers, in each case, from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services LLC (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, (f) the hosting, with the Arrangers, of one or more meetings (or, if reasonably acceptable to you and the Arrangers, one or more telephone, video or other electronic conferences) of prospective Lenders at mutually agreed upon times and locations, (g) providing us with copies of all due diligence reports or summaries available to you and prepared in connection with the Transactions by legal, insurance, tax, accounting or other advisors, each subject to the delivery by us to you of customary non-disclosure agreements as shall be reasonably requested and (h) promptly providing us with any other information reasonably requested by us to successfully complete the syndication.

You hereby agree that, prior to the Syndication Date, there shall be no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of Holdings, you or any of your subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Facilities and other indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business of any of you and your subsidiaries for capital expenditures, ordinary course working capital facilities, purchase money and equipment financings and deferred purchase price obligations, Land Newco, Inc.’s incurrence of a $487 mm 364-day bridge loan facility, and any indebtedness permitted to remain outstanding under the Merger Agreement with respect to Land Newco, Inc.), without the consent of the Arrangers, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities.
In addition, you agree to use your commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Arrangers to have been afforded a period of at least 15 consecutive business days (ending no later than the business day immediately prior to the Closing Date) following the date of delivery of (a) Holdings’ audited consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the three most recent fiscal years ended at least 60 days prior to the Closing Date and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the most recent fiscal quarters ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date and (b) the financial statements referred to in paragraph 4 of Annex C, together with the Customary Information Memorandum in connection with the syndication of each of the Facilities (together, the “Required Bank Information”) to market each of the Facilities to prospective Lenders (the “Bank Marketing Period”); provided that (i) the Bank Marketing Period shall exclude November 26, 2021 (it being understood that such days shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the consecutive business days constituting the Bank Marketing Period) and (ii) if the Bank Marketing Period has not concluded prior to (A) August 20, 2021, it shall commence no earlier than September 7, 2021 and (B) December 17, 2021, it shall commence no earlier than January 3, 2022.
The Arrangers will manage all aspects of any syndication in consultation with you, including (in each case subject to the provisions set forth in this Commitment Letter), decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders, any naming rights and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders.  To assist the Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Arrangers all customary information reasonably requested by the Arrangers that is reasonably available to you with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Transactions as the Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities.  
You agree, at the request of the Arrangers, to assist in the preparation of a version of any marketing and informational materials and presentations that may be used in connection with the Facilities that will consist exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not material with respect to Holdings or its parents or subsidiaries taken as a whole, or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal, foreign and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”).  Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information.”  You further agree that each document to be disseminated by the Arrangers to any Lender in connection with syndicating the Facilities will, at the request of the Arrangers, be identified by you as either (i) containing Private Lender Information or (ii) containing solely Public Lender Information.  You acknowledge that the following documents contain solely Public Lender Information (unless you notify us promptly prior to their intended distribution (provided that you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents in advance of their intended distribution) that any such document

#94102421v29    
#94173428v3    






contains Private Lender Information): (a) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities; (b) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers or the Agent for Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation); and (c) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.  It is understood that, in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any information package and presentation whereby you authorize the distribution of such information to prospective Lenders containing a representation substantially consistent with the first sentence of the succeeding paragraph and a representation by you to the Commitment Parties that the Public Lender Information does not include material non-public information about Holdings and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or their securities and exculpating us with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of such Public Lender Information or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof.
You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information (the “Information”) other than the Projections (defined below) that has been or will be provided by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives to us is or will be, when taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) any projections (the “Projections”) that have been or will be provided by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives to us have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon accounting principles consistent with your historical audited financial statements and upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to us.  You agree that if at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be materially incorrect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct under those circumstances, with such supplementation deemed to cure any such inaccuracy. In arranging the Facilities, we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
We will not furnish Information or Projections obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or our other relationships with you to other companies.  You also acknowledge that we do not have any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained by us from other companies.
You further acknowledge and agree that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between you and us is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, irrespective of whether we have advised or are advising you on other matters, (b) the Commitment Parties, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, have an arm’s-length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do you rely on, any fiduciary duty on the part of us, (c) you are capable of evaluating and understanding, and you understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, (d) you have been advised that we are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from your interests and that we have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to you by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship, and (e) you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims you may have arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter against us for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that we shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of you, including your stockholders, employees or creditors.

You agree not to assert or allege any claim based on actual or potential conflict of interest arising or resulting from, on the one hand, the engagement of CS Securities in such capacity and our obligations hereunder, on the other hand.  Each of the Additional Commitment Parties hereto acknowledges (i) the retention of CS Securities as the Financial Advisor and (ii) that such relationship does not create any fiduciary duties or fiduciary responsibilities to such Additional Commitment Party on the part of CS, CSLF or any of their affiliates.
You further acknowledge that certain of the Commitment Parties and/or certain of their respective affiliates currently may be acting as lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, and your and your subsidiaries’ rights and obligations under any other agreement with any Commitment Party or any of its affiliates (including the Existing Credit Agreement) that currently exist or hereafter may exist are, and shall be, separate and distinct from the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter, and none of such rights and obligations under such other agreements shall be affected by any Commitment Party’s performance or lack of performance of services hereunder. You hereby agree that each Commitment Party may render its services under this Commitment Letter notwithstanding any actual or potential conflict of interest presented by the foregoing, and you agree that you will not claim any conflict of interest relating to the relationship among any Commitment Party and you and your affiliates in connection with the services contemplated hereby, on the one hand, and the exercise by such Commitment Party or any of its affiliates of any of their rights and duties under any credit agreement or other agreement (including the Existing Credit Agreement) on the other hand.

The above-described mandatory prepayments shall be applied pro rata to the remaining amortization payments under the Term Facility and the Incremental Facilities that are additional term loan facilities as the Borrowers shall direct, and otherwise in forward order to the remaining amortization payments in direct order of maturity.

	Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:
	After the Closing Date, (i) all undrawn commitments with respect to the Term Facility will automatically terminate and (ii) voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Revolving Facility and prepayments of borrowings under the Facilities will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement, without premium or penalty, except as described below, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR (as defined on Exhibit A hereto) borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The undersigned hereby certifies, solely in his capacity as an officer of the Borrowers and not in his individual capacity, as follows:
1.I am the [Financial Officer] of the Borrowers.  I am familiar with the Transactions, and have reviewed the Credit Agreement, financial statements referred to in Section [___] of the Credit Agreement and such documents and made such investigation as I have deemed relevant for the purposes of this Solvency Certificate.
2.As of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, on and as of such date (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, exceeds the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.
3.As of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the Borrowers do not intend to, and the Borrowers do not believe that they or any of their Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.
This Solvency Certificate is being delivered by the undersigned officer only in his capacity as [Financial Officer] of the Borrowers and not individually and the undersigned shall have no personal liability to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto.
