under any combined or syndicated credit arrangement) of more than the Threshold Amount, or (B) fails to observe or perform any other agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness or contained in any

  
 11 

 
instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event occurs, the effect of which default or other event is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such
Indebtedness to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to be demanded or to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem
such Indebtedness to be made, prior to its stated maturity; or (ii) there occurs under any Swap Contract an Early Termination Date (as defined in such Swap Contract) resulting from any event of default under such Swap Contract as to which

the text “EEA Financial Institution” with the text “Affected Financial Institution”; (ii) replacing all instances of the text “an EEA Resolution Authority” and “any EEA Resolution Authority” with the text

Ratification of Credit Agreement. The term “Credit Agreement” as used in each of the Loan Documents shall hereafter mean the Credit Agreement as amended and modified by this Agreement. Except as herein specifically agreed, the
Credit Agreement, as amended by this Agreement, is hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms. Timken acknowledges and consents to the modifications set forth herein and agree that this Agreement
does not impair, reduce or limit any of their obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, 

  
 12 

 
the indemnity obligations set forth therein) and that, after the date hereof, this Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender, the Co-Administrative Agents or the Paying Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a
waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any Indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Agents under the Credit Agreement. 

4. Authority/Enforceability. Timken represents and warrants as follows: 

(a) It has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. 

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Timken and constitutes Timken’s legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar or laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and (ii) the application of general principles of equity. 
 (c) No approval, consent, exemption,
authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person (other than filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) by Timken
of this Agreement, except for those that have already been obtained. 
 (d) The execution, delivery and performance by it of
this Agreement does not (i) contravene the terms of any of its Organization Documents; (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien (except for any Liens that may arise under the Loan
Documents) under, or require any payment to be made under (x) any material Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or affecting it or the properties of it or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) except as would not be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which it or its property is subject; or (c) except as would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,
violate any Law. 
 5. Representations. Timken represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that (a) the
representations and warranties of Timken set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or
reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects as qualified thereby) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to a certain date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 6, the representations and warranties contained in subsections
(a) and (b) of Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement and (b) no

 1.03 LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on
Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings
from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark
Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank
offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are
currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in
Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement, such Section 3.03(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to
Section 3.03(c), in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not
have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate
thereto, or replacement rate therefor or thereof, including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to
Section 3.03(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or
unavailability. 
 (m) Section 2.10(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the references
to “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” with “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”. 
 (n) Section 3.03(c)
of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 (c) Effect of Benchmark
Transition Event. 
 (i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
Loan Document, (i) upon the determination of the Administrative Agent (which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or upon the written notice provided by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Transition Event
has occurred or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement, by a
written document executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, subject to the requirements of this Section 3.03(c). Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 11.01 or anything else to
the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective and binding upon the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all 

  
 9 

 
Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders, and any
such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective and binding upon the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders
have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) will occur prior to the
applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 
 (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any
amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders in writing of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date,
(B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (D) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, comparable replacement rate or adjustment, or
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties
hereto absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) and shall not be a
basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually be each party hereto. 

(iv) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark
Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the
Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the components of Base Rate based upon LIBOR will not be used in any
determination of the Base Rate. 
 (o) Section 6.17 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing
all instances of the text “EEA Financial Institution” with the text “Affected Financial Institution”. 

  
 10 

 (p) Section 8.03(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby

the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or (ii) such amendment, modification, consent, waiver or approval provides for collateral or guarantees, the Loan Parties provide the same collateral and/or guarantees to secure the Obligations, subject

 The undersigned Responsible Officer hereby certifies, in his/her capacity as a Responsible
Officer and not in his/her individual capacity, as of the date hereof that he/she is the

such documents to any Lender that requests the Borrower to deliver such electronic copies.

attached financial statements. 

 3. A review of the activities of the Borrower during such fiscal period has been made under
the supervision of the undersigned with a view to determining whether during such fiscal period the Borrower has performed and observed all its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and 

[select one.] 
 [to the best knowledge of

Default and its nature and status:] 
 4. The financial covenant analyses and information set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto are
