Receivables Sale Agreement 753303507 23728593 RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of June 20, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), is by and among Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a New York corporation (“Columbus”), as an Originator and as master servicer (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), each of the other entities listed on Exhibit II hereto (together with Columbus in its capacity as an Originator, each, an “Originator” and collectively, the “Originators”), and Columbus McKinnon FinCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I attached hereto (or, if not defined in this Agreement, the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I to the Credit and Security Agreement (hereinafter defined)). PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS The Originators now own, and from time to time hereafter will own, certain Receivables. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from and after the Closing Date, each of the Originators wishes to sell, assign, transfer, contribute or otherwise convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to purchase or otherwise acquire from such Originator all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of its existing and future Receivables, together with the Related Security (hereinafter defined) and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing. Each Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales and/or contributions of the Receivables Assets (hereinafter defined) from the Originators to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables Assets, and none of the Originators or the Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Buyer to any Originator secured by the Receivables Assets. Immediately following its acquisition of the Receivables Assets from the Originators, the Buyer will pledge them to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) pursuant to that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Buyer, as borrower, the Master Servicer, the lenders from time to time party thereto (together with their successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit and Security Agreement”). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I AMOUNTS AND TERMS Section 1.1. Purchase and Contribution of Receivables. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Columbus hereby contributes, assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Buyer’s capital, without recourse to Columbus (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer hereby accepts, (i) Columbus’ right, title and interest in and to certain of Columbus’ Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and having an


 
2 Receivables Sale Agreement 753303507 23728593 aggregate Outstanding Balance greater than or equal to the Required Capital Amount, and (ii) Columbus’ right, title and interest in and to Columbus’ Receivables arising after the Initial Cutoff Date through and including Columbus’ Termination Date to the extent necessary to cause the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables contributed under clause (i) or this clause (ii) (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables”) to be equal to or exceed the Required Capital Amount, together with all Related Security and Collections associated therewith (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables Assets”). Effective as of the Closing Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each of the Originators hereby sells, assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer hereby purchases from each Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and all Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) thereafter arising through and including such Originator’s Termination Date immediately upon the creation of each such Receivable (collectively, the “Purchased Receivables”), together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof (collectively, the “Purchased Receivables Assets”, and the Purchased Receivables Assets, together with the Contributed Receivables Assets, the “Receivables Assets”). In accordance with the preceding two sentences, on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall acquire all of the Originators’ right, title and interest in and to the Receivables Assets. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable in accordance with Section 1.2. (b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale and/or true contribution, which sale and/or contribution, as the case may be, is absolute and irrevocable and provides the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables Assets. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, each transfer of Receivables Assets hereunder is made without recourse to any of the Originators for losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition of the related Obligor resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by it pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (ii) such transfer does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originators or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables Assets or any other obligations of the Originators. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase and contribution shall constitute a true sale and/or true contribution of Receivables Assets, rather than a loan secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, in accordance with Section 4.1(l)(ii), include a notation in its master data processing records relating to the Receivables to indicate that the Purchased Receivables and the Contributed Receivables are “SOLD RECEIVABLES”. Section 1.2. Payment for Purchases. (a) The Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable shall become owing in full by the Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence and shall be paid not later than the next Payment Date thereafter as follows: (i) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Credit and Security Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to the Master Servicer, for the account of the applicable Originators, in immediately available funds, to the extent of Available Cash on such Payment Date, in the following order:


 
3 Receivables Sale Agreement 753303507 23728593 first, the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by each Originator on such purchase date; and second, to reduce the principal amount outstanding under each Originator’s Subordinated Note to a balance not less than zero ($0.00); (ii) To the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price owing to an Originator remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b); and (iii) To the extent that the Buyer is entitled to any Purchase Price Credit pursuant to Section 1.3 in respect of Purchased Receivables and the amount of such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Purchase Price that would have been owed by such Buyer to the applicable Originator under clause (i) above without taking such Purchase Price Credit into account for purposes of the calculation of such price, the principal amount outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note shall be automatically decreased (to a balance not less than zero ($0.00)). (b) To the extent that the Buyer does not have sufficient Available Cash to pay in full the Purchase Price for all Receivables payable on any Payment Date in cash as set forth in Section 1.2(a), each Originator agrees to advance a subordinated loan in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price of all Purchased Receivables sold by such Originator remaining following the payments specified in clause (a)(i) above and (B) the maximum loan (each such loan, a “Subordinated Loan”) that could be borrowed by the Buyer from the applicable Originator without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. Each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by the Buyer prior to such Originator’s Termination Date. Each Subordinated Loan shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of a Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from Available Cash. The Master Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each Subordinated Note to reflect the increases, payments and reductions made in respect of such Subordinated Note pursuant to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.3, and the Master Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each Subordinated Note at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Master Servicer to mark its Subordinated Note “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Note to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of such Originator’s Termination Date. Each Originator acknowledges that it has received a copy of its Subordinated Note and so long as it is a Holder, agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of such Subordinated Note, including, without limitation, the Subordination Provisions. (c) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased after the date hereof shall be due and payable by the Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence, a precise reconciliation of the Purchase Prices between the Buyer and each Originator shall be effected on a Payment Date with respect to all Receivables sold or contributed during the Calculation Period (or portion thereof) most recently ended prior to such Payment Date. Although such reconciliation shall be effected on Payment Dates, increases or decreases in the principal balance of each Subordinated Note and any contribution of capital by the Originators to the Buyer made pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the date such Receivable comes into existence; provided that the interest due and owing on each Subordinated Note on any Payment Date shall continue to be calculated based on the principal amount outstanding as of the prior Payment Date.


 
4 Receivables Sale Agreement 753303507 23728593 On each Payment Date, each Originator shall determine the net increase or the net reduction in the outstanding principal amount of its Subordinated Note and, solely with respect to Columbus, the amount of any capital contributions occurring during the immediately preceding Calculation Period (or portion thereof) and, in each case, shall account for such net increase or net reduction in its books and records. Section 1.3. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day: (a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable originated by any Originator is reduced or canceled due to: (i) any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by such Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than as a result of any Collections), or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or (ii) any setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same transaction or a related or unrelated transaction), or (iii) any obligation or election of such Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay the related Obligor any warranty claim, rebate or refund, or (iv) any misstatement of the amount thereof, or (v) any extension, amendment or other modification to the payment terms of any Receivable or any Contract related to such Receivable in any material respect other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, or (b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1(l) through and including Section 2.1(r) is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any Receivable, then, in any such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to (A) in the case of clauses (a)(i)-(v) above, the amount by which the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable was reduced as a result thereof; and (B) in the case of clause (b) above, the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable. If, on any day prior to an Originator’s Termination Date, the Purchase Price Credit due from such Originator exceeds the Purchase Price payable to such Originator on such day, the excess amount may be credited against the Purchase Price payable to such Originator on one or more subsequent days; provided, however, that (1) if any portion of a Purchase Price Credit remains unrealized on such Originator’s Termination Date, it shall be payable by the applicable Originator in cash to a Collection Account on such Termination Date; (2) if any of the events described in clauses (a)(i)-(v) above or clause (b) above occurs after such Termination Date, the resulting Purchase Price Credit shall be paid by the applicable Originator in cash to a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after such occurrence; (3) if any Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing or any Overadvance shall exist, the resulting Purchase Price Credit shall be paid in cash by the applicable Originator to a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after such day and (4) no Purchase Price Credit shall include any amount to the extent the same represents losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or


 
5 Receivables Sale Agreement 753303507 23728593 other financial or credit condition of the related Obligor resulting in the inability to pay in respect of such Obligor. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.3 is not intended to give any Originator or the Master Servicer authorization to extend, amend or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable in any manner except as permitted by the Credit and Security Agreement. Section 1.4. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to an account of the Master Servicer, for the account of the applicable Originators, designated from time to time by the Master Servicer or as otherwise directed by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall pay funds so received to the applicable Originator entitled thereto, in cash or by way of credit to the appropriate intercompany account. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, interest accrued at the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Section 1.5. Transfer of Records. In connection with any sale or contribution of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby contributes, sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of its right and title to and interest in the Records relating to the Receivables sold or contributed hereunder, but solely to the extent related to such Receivables, without the need for any further documentation in connection with such sale or contribution. In connection with such transfer, each Originator hereby grants to each of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Master Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by the applicable Originator or is owned by others and used by any Originator under license agreements with respect thereto; provided, however, that so long as the Records maintained in any software the license or sublicense of which hereunder would require the consent of the applicable licensor can be exported to Excel, such software shall not be included in the license granted in this Section 1.5. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), and shall automatically terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. Section 1.6. Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any transfer by any Originator to the Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized in any manner other than a true sale or true contribution or such transfer for any reason shall be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the applicable UCC and other applicable Law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each transfer shall constitute a true sale or true contribution and absolute assignment thereof, each of the


 
6 Receivables Sale Agreement 753303507 23728593 Originators hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables Assets and all proceeds thereof, whether existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date or thereafter arising through and including such Originator’s Termination Date (collectively, such Originator’s “Originator Collateral”), to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made by the Buyer to such Originator in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables originated by such Originator and, in the case of Columbus, the Purchase Price that would have been payable for the Contributed Receivables had they not been contributed to the Buyer’s capital, together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest each of the Originators hereby represents and warrants, is valid, duly perfected and prior to all Adverse Claims. The Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Section 2.1. Representations and Warranties of Each of the Originators.
