(“RBS Global”), REXNORD LLC (“Rexnord” and, together with RBS Global, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time, the Issuing Banks party thereto from time to time and CREDIT SUISSE AG, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Borrowers intend to extend the maturity of the Revolving Facility and make certain other amendments to the Revolving Facility as set forth herein (the “Amend & Extend”); 
WHEREAS, to implement the Amend & Extend, the Borrowers have, by notice to the Administrative Agent dated as of October 25, 2016, delivered pursuant to Section 2.21(l) of the Credit Agreement (the “Notice”) (a copy of which notice is attached as Exhibit A hereto), requested Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $265,000,000 to replace in full the Revolving Facility Commitments existing on the 2016 Revolver Refinancing Effective Date (as defined below) (immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement) (such existing Revolving Facility Commitments, the “Existing Revolving Facility Commitments”);
WHEREAS, each institution listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Replacement Revolving Facility Lenders”) has agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, to provide the amount of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments set forth opposite its name under the heading “Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment” on Schedule I hereto (the “Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto therefore agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms; References.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.  The rules of construction specified in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement also apply to this Agreement.  Each reference to “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” and “hereby” and each other similar reference and each reference to “this Agreement” and each other similar reference contained in the Credit Agreement, and each reference to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereof”, “thereunder”, “therein” and “thereby” and each other similar reference to the Credit Agreement shall in each case, after this Agreement becomes effective, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

SECTION 2. Revolving Facility Refinancing

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Replacement Revolving Facility Lender severally agrees to make Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments available to the Borrower from the 2016 Revolver Refinancing Effective Date in an amount equal to the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto.

(b)    All Letters of Credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the 2016 Revolver Refinancing Effective Date shall remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement.  Each Replacement Revolving Facility Lender’s risk participation in each such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with such Replacement Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage, as provided in Section 2.05(d) of the Credit Agreement, as if such Letter of Credit had been issued on the 2016 Revolver Refinancing Effective Date immediately after giving effect to paragraph (a) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Issuing Lender acting in such capacity immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement shall continue to act in such capacity immediately following the effectiveness hereof.
