Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 You have advised
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMorgan” and together with JPMorgan Chase Bank, , the “Commitment Parties”, “us” or
“we”) that Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a New York corporation (“you” or the “Company”) intends to consummate the transactions described on Exhibit A hereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
are used with the meanings assigned to them on the Exhibits attached hereto (such Exhibits, together with this letter, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”). 

 

	1.	Commitments 

 In connection with the Transactions, JPMorgan Chase Bank is pleased to advise you
of its commitment to provide the entire $75 million of the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Facilities upon the terms and conditions set forth in this letter and Exhibits B and C (collectively, the “Term Sheets”). 

 

	2.	Titles and Roles It is agreed that: 

 (a) JPMorgan will act as a joint lead arranger and joint
bookrunner for the Incremental Revolving Facilities (acting in such capacity, a “Lead Arranger”, and together with any institution that becomes a joint lead arranger or joint bookrunner as contemplated by this Commitment Letter, the
“Lead Arrangers”) and (ii) JPMorgan Chase Bank will continue to act as sole administrative agent for the Senior Secured Facilities; and 

(b) It is further agreed that JPMorgan will have “left” placement in any marketing materials or other documentation used in
connection with the Incremental Revolving Facilities. 
 You agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, co-arrangers, bookrunners,
co-bookrunners, managers or co-managers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no 

 
compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheets and Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Incremental Revolving Facilities unless you and we
shall so reasonably agree (it being understood and agreed that no other agent, co-agent, arranger, co-arranger, bookrunner, co-bookrunner, manager or co-manager shall be entitled to greater economics in respect of the Incremental Revolving
Facilities than the Commitment Parties); it being understood and agreed that, subject to the receipt of satisfactory commitments to the Incremental Revolving Facilities, (i) in addition to JPMorgan, each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) and PNC Capital Markets, LLC (“PNC Capital Markets”) will be offered the roles of joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner and (ii) each of Merrill Lynch
and PNC Capital Markets will be offered the role of co-syndication agent. 
  

	3.	Syndication 

 We intend to syndicate the Incremental Revolving Facilities to a group of lenders
identified by us in consultation with you (together with JPMorgan Chase Bank, the “Lenders”). The Commitment Parties intend to commence syndication efforts promptly, and you agree actively to assist (and to use your commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Target to actively assist) the Commitment Parties in completing a syndication satisfactory to the Commitment Parties. Such assistance shall include, prior to the Closing Date (A) your using commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from your and your affiliates’ existing banking relationships, (B) direct contact between your senior management and advisors and the proposed Lenders (and using your
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between senior management of the Target and the proposed Lenders), (C) your preparing and providing to the Commitment Parties (and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target
to prepare and provide) all information with respect to you and the Target and its subsidiaries and the Acquisition, including all financial information and Projections (as defined below), as the Commitment Parties may reasonably request in
connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Incremental Revolving Facilities and your assistance (and using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to assist) in the preparation of one or more confidential information
memoranda (each, a “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication (all such information, memoranda and material, “Information Materials”),
(D) your hosting, with the Commitment Parties, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed (and using your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the officers of the Target to be available for
such meetings) and (E) your ensuring that there is no competing offering, placement, arrangement or syndication of any debt securities or bank financing (other than the Senior Secured Facilities) or announcement thereof by or on behalf of you.
Upon the request of any Commitment Party, you will use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to furnish, for no fee, to such Commitment Party an electronic version of the Target’s trademarks, service marks and corporate logo
for use in marketing materials for the purpose of facilitating the syndication of the Incremental Revolving Facilities (the “License”); provided, however, that the License shall be used solely for the purpose described
above and may not be assigned or transferred. 
 The Commitment Parties will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the
syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when 

  
 2 

 
they will be approached, when commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among
the Lenders. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Commitment Parties will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and in no event shall the Commitment Parties be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 In connection with our distribution to prospective Lenders of any
Confidential Information Memorandum and, upon our request, any other Information Materials, you will execute and deliver to us a customary authorization letter authorizing such distribution. Each Confidential Information Memorandum will be
accompanied by a disclaimer exculpating you and us with respect to any use thereof and of any related Information Materials by the recipients thereof. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the commencement nor the completion of syndication of the Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be a
condition to the availability of the Incremental Revolving Facilities on the Closing Date. 
  

	4.	Information 

 You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to any information relating to
the Target and its subsidiaries, to your knowledge) (a) all information (including all Information Materials), other than the Projections and information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the “Information”),
that has been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, does not or will not, when furnished to us, 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 (giving effect to all supplements thereto) and
(b) the financial projections and other forward-looking information (the “Projections”) that have been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time furnished to us (it being recognized by the Commitment Parties that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results, and such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the Closing Date and thereafter until completion of our
syndication efforts, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if such Information or Projections were furnished at such time and such representations were remade, in any material respect, then you
will (or, with respect to the Information and Projections relating to the Target and its subsidiaries, will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that (with respect to Information and
Projections relating to the Target and its subsidiaries, to your knowledge) such representations when remade would be correct, in all material respects, under those circumstances. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Incremental
Revolving Facilities we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

of Information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to
arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person (or any of its Related Parties). None of the indemnified persons or you or any of your or their respective affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees,

Letter, the Fee Letter, the Senior Secured Facilities or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnity obligations to
the extent set forth in this Section 7.

 You
acknowledge that each Commitment Party (or an affiliate) is a full service securities firm and such person may from time to time effect transactions, for its own or its affiliates’ account or the account of customers, and hold positions in
loans, securities or options on loans or securities of you, your affiliates and of other companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter. In addition, each Commitment Party and its affiliates will not use

 Fifth Third Bancorp, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Ohio (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION Dollars
($500,000,000) on July 27, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from July 27, 2015 (the “Original Issue Date”) or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, semi-annually on January 27 and July 27 in each year, commencing January 27, 2016, at the rate of 2.875% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that any principal and
premium, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 2.875% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they
are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose

Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security
will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. The Company shall make, or cause the Paying Agent
to make, all payments of principal and interest on Global Notes in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, in accordance with Applicable Procedures. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [Reverse of Security] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of April 30, 2008 (herein called the “Base Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and Wilmington Trust
Company, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) as supplemented by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee
(herein called the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the
face hereof. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, issue additional Securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities of this series, provided that such additional
Securities are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with this Security. Any such additional Securities may be considered to be part of this series of Securities. The Company may, without notice to or the consent of any Holder, issue or
incur Senior Indebtedness. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or
certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 On or after the date that is 30 days prior
to the Maturity Date, the Company may redeem this Security, at any time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Security, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not
including, the redemption date established pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. 
 Notice of redemption will be given
by first class mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, all as provided in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. 

This Security may be redeemed in part only in multiples of $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. In the event of
redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 

  
 A-5 

 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to conform to the
terms of the Indenture and the Securities to the description of the Securities in the prospectus supplement dated July 22, 2015 relating to the offering of the Securities. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and
shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of
principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and
rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

  
 A-6 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
