Agreement and General Release

This Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) is effective as of the latest date signed by Matthew J. Stillings (“Executive” or “you”) and Rexnord Corporation, for itself and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions, related companies and affiliates (the “Company”).  Executive and the Company are each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, Executive has been employed by the Company for a period of time; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have agreed to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company under the terms and conditions set forth below; and

WHEREAS, the Company has voluntarily agreed to provide to Executive severance benefits pursuant to the Rexnord Corporation Executive Severance Plan effective May 18, 2016, as amended (the “Executive Severance Plan”), as consideration for Executive signing this Agreement (including the Supplemental Release attached as Exhibit A hereto) and abiding by its terms; and 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to resolve all matters between them and facilitate a smooth transition based on a mutual understanding; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement was first provided to Executive on June 5, 2018 (the “Delivery Date”); and

WHEREAS, this Agreement (including the Supplemental Release attached as Exhibit A hereto), along with the Executive Severance Plan, the offer letter dated August 31, 2016 between the Parties  (the “Letter Agreement”)  and any equity award agreement between the Company and Executive under the Rexnord Corporation Performance Incentive Plan (formerly known as the Rexnord Corporation 2012 Performance Incentive Plan) (the “Award Agreements”) (this Agreement, the Executive Severance Plan, the Letter Agreement and the Award Agreements are, collectively, the “Executive Agreements”) are intended to embody all of the severance terms and conditions and shall constitute the complete agreement between the Parties in this regard.

NOW THEREFORE, for consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

		
	1.
	Effective as of June 30, 2018 (the “Termination Date”), Executive’s employment with the Company will be terminated and Executive will resign from all offices, directorships and fiduciary positions within the Company, its affiliates and employee benefits plan.  Such termination will be treated as a “Qualifying Termination” as defined in the Executive Severance Plan.

		
	2.
	This Agreement is made in consideration of the Company’s payment to Executive of the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”):

		
	a.
	Severance Pay.  Severance pay in the amount of $453,200.16 ("Severance Pay").  The Severance Pay will be paid in equal bi-weekly payroll installments over a period of twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”), and will otherwise be as provided for under the Executive Severance Plan.  If, during the Severance Period, Executive is rehired by the Company or offered the opportunity to work with the Company at a comparable rate of compensation and without relocation, including work as a consultant or placement through a staffing agency or other third party, the Severance Period and the Severance Pay will be reduced to align with the period for which Executive was unemployed or was without offer of work with the Company, as the case may be.     

		
	b.
	Continuation of Group Health, Dental and Vision Benefits. Subject to Executive’s continued co-payment of premiums, Executive may continue participation for twelve (12) months in the medical, dental and vision benefits under the Company’s health benefits plan which covers Executive (and his or her eligible dependents) upon the same terms and conditions (except for the requirement of Executive’s continued employment) in effect for active employees of the Company ("Subsidized COBRA"). In the event Executive obtains other employment that offers substantially similar or more favorable medical benefits, such continuation of Subsidized COBRA coverage by the Company under this section shall immediately cease. The continuation of health benefits under this section shall reduce the period of coverage and count against Executive’s right to healthcare continuation benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA").  The COBRA administrator will notify you of your continued coverage rights.

		
	c.
	Outplacement Services.  The Company will make available outplacement services for a period of twelve (12) months.  

		
	d.
	Other Benefits.  All other regular Company benefits to which you are entitled will be paid according to the specific plan provisions. Severance Pay will not be used in the calculation of any other company-sponsored 

benefit, unless the plan governing the other company-sponsored benefit provides otherwise.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall only be entitled to the above Severance Benefits and shall not be entitled to additional severance benefits under another plan of or arrangement with the Company. 
		
	3.
	No Severance Benefits will be provided to Executive until the later of the Termination Date or the seven (7) day Revocation Period (as defined in the Supplemental Release) has expired, without revocation by Executive.

		
	4.
	Executive acknowledges that: 

		
	a.
	the Severance Benefits are being paid to Executive in full settlement, accord and satisfaction of any and all Claims (as defined herein) Executive has, or may have, against the Company up to and including the Termination Date, as further set forth in the Supplemental Release;

		
	b.
	the Severance Benefits are valuable and sufficient consideration for this Agreement, which Executive otherwise would not be entitled to receive;

		
	c.
	except as provided in this Agreement, Executive has received all wages, compensation, benefits, and other amounts to which Executive is entitled because of Executive’s employment at Company; 

		
	d.
	as of the effective date of this Agreement, Executive has not suffered any on-the-job or work-related accident, injury, occupational disease, or disability, whether temporary, permanent, partial or total, which Executive has not previously reported to Company; and 

		
	e.
	Executive has reported any possible violations of law or the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of which Executive is aware to Company prior to the effective date of this Agreement, and Executive knows of no possible unreported violations of law or the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by Company.

		
	5.
	Executive agrees to provide a release and Supplemental Release as follows:

		
	a.
	Executive waives and releases all known and unknown claims for sums of money, accounts, claims for attorneys’ fees, costs or expenses, causes of action, demands, damages, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, suits, rights, losses, debts, or liabilities of any kind or character (“Claims”) Executive has or may have against the Company or its predecessors, successors, assigns, partners, joint ventures, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, attorneys, representatives, insurers and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from the time of Executive’s initial contact with the Company to and including the effective date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all Claims related to or in any way arising out of Executive’s employment by the Company, and/or any other occurrence through the effective date of this Agreement.  The Claims Executive is releasing and waiving include, but are not limited to, any and all claims and causes of action that the Released Parties: 

		
	i.
	violated any type of written or unwritten contract, labor contract, agreement, understanding, policy, promise, covenant of any kind, including, but not limited to, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing or any employment contract between Executive and the Released Parties, and/or any statute, by-law, or employee handbook;

		
	ii.
	discriminated against Executive on the basis of any characteristic or trait protected under any law, including, but not limited to, race, color, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability, religion, marital status, parental status, citizenship, age (including, but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended)), source of income, union activities, harassment, sexual harassment, sexual orientation, gender identity, or entitlement to benefits, in violation of local, state or federal laws, constitutions, regulations, ordinances or executive orders;

	7.
	The payment of the Severance Benefits to the Executive is being made solely in consideration of this Agreement and shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company of any wrongdoing or liability in connection with Executive’s employment or termination of his employment with the Company.

	8.
	Executive understands he has the right to consult with an attorney and has been encouraged by the Company to consult with an attorney before agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. To enable the Executive to obtain adequate advice before he decides to sign this Agreement, the Company has agreed to give Executive twenty-one (21) days from the Delivery Date to consult with counsel and decide whether to sign this Agreement. Executive agrees that this twenty-one (21) day consultation and decision period is adequate.
