 Exhibit 4(c) 

THE GORMAN-RUPP COMPANY 
 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 AS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF JULY 1, 1995

 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to promote employee loyalty by encouraging employees of The Gorman- Rupp Company (the
“Company”) to participate in stock ownership. To that end, the Plan is designed to provide a convenient means through which employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries may own shares in the Company and a method by which the
Company may assist in achieving this objective. 
 2. TERM. The operation of the Plan shall commence on the date fixed by the
Company and shall continue from year to year, but it may be modified or discontinued by the Company’s Directors at any time. 
 3. ELIGIBILITY. All persons who are regular full-time employees of the Company or of one of its designated subsidiaries and who are also 18 years of age shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
Absence on approved leave shall not be considered an interruption of employment for any purpose of the Plan. 
 4.
PARTICIPATION. An eligible employee may elect to participate in the Plan at any time by executing and delivering a prescribed form to the Company. Upon enrollment, a participating employee shall elect to contribute from a minimum of $20 to a maximum
of $500 per month of his compensation through payroll deduction, commencing no later than approximately six weeks after such election. The election is made by filing the appropriate payroll deduction authorization form with the Company and the
appropriate purchase order form with the Administrator of the Plan. All payroll deductions shall be paid into the Plan and administered for the account of the participating employee as provided in the Plan. The election may be terminated or amended
at any time by the filing of supplemental payroll deduction and purchase order forms. (An election to terminate payroll deductions does not, however, automatically constitute a notice of the employee’s intention to withdraw from the Plan.)
“Compensation” shall mean base earnings, including commissions, before deductions, but excluding overtime, bonus or other payments. 
 5. COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS. The Company (or one of its subsidiaries, as the case may be) shall make a contribution to the Plan for the account of each participating employee. The Company’s contribution
shall be made at approximately the same time as the payroll deduction for a participating employee, and shall be equal to a percentage of the contribution made by such participating employee through his payroll deduction as follows: 

 

					
	 Length of Employee’s Service
 With the Company or One of its
 Subsidiaries
	  	Company’s Contribution as a
Percentage of Employee
Contribution	 
	 0-4 years
	  	 	10	% 
	 5-9 years
	  	 	15	% 
	 10 years and over
	  	 	20	% 

 6. DIRECT CASH EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS. Any employee who is a participant in the Plan may
elect, from time to time by executing and delivering the prescribed form on a monthly basis, to make direct cash contributions to the Administrator of the Plan. All such contributions, which shall be in amounts of not less than $20 nor more than
$1,000, shall be commingled with other funds paid into the Plan and administered for the account of the participating employee as provided in the Plan. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall make a contribution to the Plan with
respect to any direct cash contributions made by a participating employee. 
 7. WITHHOLDING. All taxes subject to withholding
payable with respect to the amounts to be contributed to the Plan pursuant to Paragraph 5 will be deducted from the balance of the participant’s salary on an annual basis and will not reduce the amounts to be paid into the Plan. 

8. ADMINISTRATOR. All contributions to the Plan, whether by a participating employee through payroll deduction, by the Company or one of
its subsidiaries pursuant to Paragraph 5 or by a participating employee pursuant to Paragraph 6, shall be paid monthly to the person, firm or corporation designated by the Company as Administrator of the Plan. The Company shall cause the
Administrator to hold all funds received by it; and the Administrator shall be under no obligation to pay interest on any funds held by it hereunder at any time. 
 9. STOCK PURCHASES. Not later than 30 days after each payment to the Administrator as provided above, the Company shall cause the Administrator to apply the funds then in its custody to the purchase at
prevailing market prices of the number of the Company’s Common Shares which can be purchased with such funds. All purchases of shares as herein provided may be made in the name of the Administrator or its nominee. The shares purchased with the
funds received by the Administrator under the Plan shall be credited pro rata to the accounts of the participants of the Plan in accordance with their respective interests in such funds. 

10. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Cash dividends and other cash distributions received by the Administrator on Common Shares held in
its custody shall be credited pro rata to the accounts of participating employees in accordance with their interests in the Common Shares with respect to which the dividends or distributions are paid or made and shall be applied, at the close of
each calendar quarter after receipt thereof by the Administrator, to the purchase of additional Common Shares of the Company and such Common Shares shall be credited to the accounts of the respective participating employees in the manner provided in
Paragraph 9; provided, however, any participating employee may direct the Administrator to forward to him all such cash payments made with respect to Common Shares in his account. Dividends paid in Common Shares of the Company which are received by
the Administrator with respect to Common Shares held in its custody shall be allocated to the respective participating employees in accordance with their interests in the Common Shares with respect to which the stock dividends were paid. 

11. DELIVERY. Certificates representing all or any portion of the shares and all or any portion of the cash credited to the account of a
participating employee shall be delivered to such participant on request, except that there shall be no delivery of a certificate representing fractional shares. Upon request by a participating employee, the Administrator shall sell any or all
Common Shares credited to such participant’s account and shall deliver the proceeds of sale to the participant, after deduction of brokerage commissions payable in connection with such sale. 

12. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. 
 (a) Prior to the time when the Administrator of the Plan makes delivery to a participating employee of certificates representing the Company’s Common Shares purchased for his account hereunder, such
Common Shares may be registered in the name of the Administrator or its nominee. Before each annual or special meeting of its shareholders, the Company shall cause to be sent to each participating employee as of the record date of such meeting a
copy of the proxy solicitation material therefor, together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Administrator on how to vote the Common Shares allocated to such participant’s account. Upon receipt of such instructions, the
Administrator shall vote the Common Shares as directed. Instructions received by the Administrator shall be held in the strictest confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including officers or other employees of the Company.
To the extent a 

 
participating employee does not direct the Administrator in whole or in part with respect to the exercise of voting rights arising under the Common Shares allocated to his account, such voting
rights shall not be exercised by the Administrator. The preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any reasonable attempt by the Administrator to obtain voting instructions from a participating employee. 

(b) In the event that the Administrator determines that a tender offer for the Company’s Common Shares has commenced, the
Administrator shall cause to be sent to each participating employee who, on the effective date of such offer or at any time during the effective period of such offer has Common Shares allocated to his account, all pertinent information in respect of
such offer, including all the terms and conditions thereof, together with a form prescribed by the Administrator pursuant to which each participating employee may direct the Administrator to tender or sell pursuant to such offer all or part of the
Common Shares so allocated to his account. The Administrator shall tender or sell only those Common Shares as to which valid and timely directions to tender or sell are received and not validly and timely revoked; all other Common Shares held under
the Plan shall continue to be held by the Administrator. If during the course of such offer, there shall arise any issue on which participating employees who have directed the tender or sale of any of their Common Shares are required or have an
opportunity to alter their circumstances (including, but not limited to, an opportunity to withdraw Common Shares previously tendered and an opportunity to tender Common Shares in a competing offer), the Administrator shall, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions and to the extent reasonably practicable, solicit the directions of such participating employees with respect to each such issue and act in response to such directions. 

13. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT. The Company shall cause the Administrator to furnish quarterly statements to each participating employee
showing all transactions in his account during the prior quarter and the status of the account at the end of the quarter. 
 14.
COSTS. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the administration of the Plan, including all brokerage commissions payable in connection with the purchase of shares hereunder; except that the Company shall not pay brokerage
commissions payable in connection with reinvested dividends as provided in Paragraph 10 or brokerage commissions payable in connection with sales of shares requested by a participant as provided in Paragraph 11. 

15. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN. A participant may withdraw from the Plan by giving written notice to the Company or the Administrator. The
effective date of such withdrawal shall be one week after such notice is received. Upon such withdrawal, the participant shall be entitled to receive from the Administrator, as soon as practicable, (a) certificates for the number of whole
Common Shares of the Company credited to the account of such participant, (b) the cash value of any fractional share credited to such participant’s account, and (c) any cash credited to the participant’s account which has not
been invested by the Administrator. 
 16. DEATH OR TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of the death of a participating
employee or of the termination of his employment for any other reason, he or his personal representatives shall be entitled to receive, upon written request to the Company or the Administrator, effective one week after such notice is received,
certificates representing an amount of shares and cash determined in the same manner and deliverable at the same time as if he had withdrawn from the Plan by giving notice of his withdrawal. 

17. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Directors of the Company may at any time terminate the Plan or may make such amendment of the
Plan, effective as of the first day of any calendar month subsequent to taking such action, as the Directors may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company, in each case without the assent of any participating employee or action by the
Company’s shareholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive any participant of any Common Shares of the Company which he may acquire or which may have been acquired for him through or as a result of the Plan. In the event of
any termination of the Plan, each participant shall be entitled to receive certificates representing an amount of shares and cash determined in the same manner and deliverable at the same time as if he had withdrawn from the Plan by giving notice of
his withdrawal effective as of the effective termination date. 

 18. TRANSFERS. The interests of any participating employee under the Plan may not be
transferred by such participating employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may not be encumbered in any manner. The rights of any participating employee hereunder shall be exercisable during such participant’s
lifetime only by such employee.EX-10.1

 1 

 
Indemnitee with respect to the Area A Loan and the Area B Loan or any indebtedness incurred by Borrower to refinance Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Area A Loan and the
Area B Loan using Debt Securities. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	Section 1	Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement: 

  

	 	1.1	“Lender Claim” means any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses whatsoever (including without limitation attorneys’ fees
and expenses) which Indemnitee may incur (or which may be claimed against Indemnitee by any person or entity whatsoever), by reason of, or arising out of, any Proceeding against Borrower or Indemnitee in connection with (a) the obligations of
the Borrower under the Restated Credit Agreement, but solely to the extent attributable to the Area A Loan and the Area B Loan or any indebtedness incurred by Borrower to refinance Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Area A Loan and
the Area B Loan and (b) obligations of Borrower for Debt Securities issued to refinance the obligations enumerated in clause (a) of this definition, in either case only to the extent not otherwise satisfied by the assets of the
Borrower. 

  

	 	1.2	“Lender Claimant” means the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Trustee,
any Lender, any Holder, any Related Party of the foregoing, or any other Person that may assert a Lender Claim. 

  

	 	1.3	“Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation,
inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether made by or brought in the right of a Lender Claimant or otherwise, in which Indemnitee or Borrower was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise.

  

	 	1.4	Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Restated Credit Agreement. 

 

	Section 2	Indemnity. 

  

	 	2.1	Indemnification by Indemnitor. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.2 below, Indemnitor shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee
from and against any Lender Claim. 

  

	 	2.2	 Conditions Precedent. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.1 to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not have any
indemnification obligation under this Agreement unless Indemnitee has exhausted all of its remedies, if any, under the Partnership Agreement and under applicable law to collect from Borrower the amount of any Lender Claim; provided,
however, that Indemnitee need not exhaust any remedies against Borrower to the extent Indemnitee reasonably 

  
 2 

 
determines that the expense anticipated to be incurred by Indemnitee in pursuing such claim against Borrower with respect to collection of the amount of the Lender Claim would exceed the
anticipated recovery from Borrower with respect to such claim. 
  

	2.3	Lender Claims. 

  

	 	(a)	Notice of Lender Claim. If any Lender Claimant notifies Indemnitee with respect to any Lender Claim, then Indemnitee will promptly give written notice to
Indemnitor; provided, however, that no delay on the part of Indemnitee in notifying Indemnitor will relieve Indemnitor from any obligation under this Section 2.3(a). 

 

	 	(b)	Assumption of Defense, etc. Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Lender Claim that is the subject of a notice given by Indemnitee
pursuant to Section 2.3(a). In addition, Indemnitor will have the right to assume the defense of such Lender Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee so long as (i) Indemnitor gives written notice to
Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after Indemnitee has given notice of the Lender Claim that Indemnitor will indemnify Indemnitee from and against the entirety of the Lender Claim; (ii) Indemnitor provides Indemnitee with evidence
reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee that Indemnitor will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Lender Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) Indemnitee has not been advised by counsel that an actual
or potential conflict exists between Indemnitee and Indemnitor in connection with the defense of the Lender Claim; and (iv) settlement of an adverse judgment with respect to, or Indemnitor’s conduct of the defense of, the Lender Claim is
not, in the good faith judgment of Indemnitee, likely to be adverse to Indemnitee’s reputation or continuing business interests. Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Lender
Claim. 

  

	 	(c)	Limitations on Indemnitor. Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Lender Claim
without the prior written consent of Indemnitee unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (i) provides for the payment by Indemnitor of money as sole relief for the Lender Claimant and (ii) involves no finding or admission of any
violation of law. 

  

	 	(d)	Indemnitee’s Control. If Indemnitor does not deliver to Indemnitee the notice contemplated by Section 2.3(b) within fifteen (15) days after
Indemnitee has given notice of the Lender Claim pursuant to Section 2.3(a), or otherwise at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Lender Claim actively and diligently, Indemnitee may defend the Lender Claim in a good faith and
reasonable manner, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Lender Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from,
Indemnitor in connection therewith). 

  
 3 

	 	2.4	Procedure for Notification. Subject to Section 2.3, to obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to Indemnitor a written
request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
The delay or omission to notify Indemnitor will not relieve Indemnitor from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. 

 

	 	2.5	Presumption. It shall be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification
in accordance with Section 2.3(a), and Indemnitor shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any
determination contrary to that presumption. 

  

	 	2.6	Payment and Set-Off. Indemnitor shall make any indemnification payment required under this Agreement promptly following request therefor (or, in the event that
Indemnitor elects to participate in or assume the defense of a Lender Claim in accordance with this Section 2, promptly after any settlement or entry of any final judgment with respect to such Lender Claim), subject to Indemnitor’s
right to rebut the presumption set forth in Section 2.5. Indemnitee may set off against any amounts that it must pay to Indemnitor under any agreement or instrument any amounts that Indemnitor must pay to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

  

	Section 3	Waiver of Right to Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, Indemnitor expressly waives any right to subrogation with respect to any of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee or any Lender Claimant. Indemnitor also expressly waives any right to indemnification it may have under the Partnership Agreement with respect to any payment under this Agreement. 

 

	Section 4	Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of the Restated Credit Agreement, any of the Loan
Documents, or any agreement related thereto or related to the Transactions, so long as any Lender Claim remains outstanding. 

  

	Section 5	Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, then such term or provision shall
be fully severable from this Agreement, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or provision had never been a part of this Agreement, and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or provision or by its severance from this Agreement. 

  
 4 

	Section 6	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other
written or oral agreements relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties hereto are expressly cancelled. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to invalidate any provision of the
Partnership Agreement. 

  

	Section 7	Successors and Assigns. Indemnitor agrees that all the rights, benefits and privileges herein and hereby conferred upon Indemnitee shall vest in, and be
enforceable by, Indemnitee and its successors and assigns, and shall bind Indemnitor’s successors and assigns. 

  

	Section 8	Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
(a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it
is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such

    or to any other address as may have been furnished by Indemnitee or Indemnitor to the other party. 

 

	Section 9	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed
to be one and the same Agreement 

  

	Section 10	Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws
principles thereof. The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in New York, and waive any defense based upon improper venue, inconvenient venue or lack of personal jurisdiction.
