THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 9, 2014, is by and among each of the parties from time to time party hereto as an Originator (each, an “Originator” and collectively, the “Originators”), and RPM Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I hereto, the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement hereinafter defined).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Each of the Originators (other than Dri-Eaz Products, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Dri-Eaz”), Sapphire Scientific Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Sapphire”) and Xxxxxx Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Xxxxxx”; together with Sapphire and Dri-Eaz, each a “New Originator” and collectively, the “New Originators”)) and the Buyer are parties to an Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of April 7, 2009, as heretofore amended from time to time (the “Existing Agreement”). The parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

Each of the Originators now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Each of the Originators wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

Each of the Originators and Buyer intends the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Receivables from such Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator, and none of the Originators or Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to any Originator.

Buyer will sell undivided interests in the Receivables and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, RPM International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RPM-Delaware”), as initial Servicer, Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”), and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC” and each of Fifth Third and PNC, a “Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”), and PNC, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants 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 [Reserved]

Section 1.2 Sales of Receivables.

(a) In consideration for payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.3 and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator hereby sells, assigns, transfers, sets-over and otherwise conveys to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from each Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of such Originator’s Receivables existing on the Initial Cutoff Date and all Receivables originated by such Originator on each day from and after the Initial Cutoff Date through and including such Originator’s Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that the applicable Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Transfer of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts” (as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC) or other absolute conveyance, which Transfer is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.4, the Transfers of Receivables hereunder are made without recourse to the Originators; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such Transfers do not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the applicable Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of any Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each Transfer of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale or other outright conveyance of such Receivables rather than a loan secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), xxxx its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and agrees to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee) may reasonably request.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in paragraph (a) above or otherwise in this Agreement, no New Originator shall sell any Receivable of such New Originator or any Related Security with respect thereto to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement until such time (with respect to any New Originator, the “Subject Date”), if any, as (i) each of such New Originator, the Buyer, RPM-Delaware, each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent have consented thereto in writing (which consent may be in the form of electronic mail) and the Administrative Agent has confirmed that the Subject Date with respect to such New Originator has occurred, (ii) such New Originator shall have acquired one or more shares of Preferred Shares and (iii) each of the Buyer, each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent have received such information, documents, instruments and agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer, each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent (in their sole and absolute discretion), as reasonably requested by such party prior to the Subject Date. Upon the occurrence of the Subject Date with respect to any New Originator, such New Originator shall immediately sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer shall purchase from such New Originator, all of such New Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of such New Originator’s Receivables existing on the Subject Date and all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. On each day on and after the Subject Date with respect to each New Originator, such New Originator shall sell all Receivables originated by such New Originator on such date in accordance with Section 1.2(a) of this Agreement.

Section 1.3 Payment for the Purchases.

(a) The Purchase Price for each Receivable shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).

(b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to the applicable Originator in accordance with Section 1.3(d) and in the following manner:

first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, or other cash on hand; and/or

second, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated loan from such Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required

Capital Amount. Such Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder; and/or

third, by accepting such Receivables as a contribution to Buyer’s preferred equity capital associated with such Originator’s Preferred Shares identified on Schedule A hereto; provided that no such capital contribution shall be made from and after the date on which any Originator notifies Buyer in writing that it has designated a date as such Originator’s Termination Date.

Subject to the limitations set forth in clause second above, each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to such Originator’s Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of such Originator’s Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers.

(c) From and after an Originator’s Termination Date, each Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) (i) sell its Receivables to Buyer, or (ii) contribute Receivables to Buyer’s preferred equity capital pursuant to clause third of Section 1.3(b) unless such Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or otherwise.

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Receivables Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the applicable Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.3(b) and any contribution of preferred equity capital by an Originator to Buyer made pursuant to Section 1.3(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

Section 1.4 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day, any Originator is deemed to have received a Deemed Collection with respect to any Receivable sold by it to Buyer hereunder, then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to such Originator hereunder in an amount equal to such Deemed Collection. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the original Outstanding Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on such day, then the applicable Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash within 10 Business Days thereafter; provided that if the applicable Originator’s Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note to the extent permitted thereunder.

Section 1.5 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. 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 next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 1.6 Transfer of Records.

(a) In connection with each Transfer of a Receivable by an Originator hereunder, such Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of such Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to such Receivable without the need for any further documentation in connection with such Transfer. In connection with each such Transfer, such Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the 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 originated or serviced by such Originator, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as Buyer’s collateral assignee), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

Section 1.7 Characterization.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.2(b), any sale by any Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that

each sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a valid and perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, and in all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto (including, without limitation, each Lock-Box and Collection Account), all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of all of such Originator’s obligations hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer 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. Each Originator hereby authorizes Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as Buyer’s collateral assignee), within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party, to file, without the signature of the debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.

(b) Each Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall collaterally assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers thereunder, all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement. Each Originator agrees that the Administrative Agent, as the collateral assignee of Buyer, shall, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder, and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is made to Buyer’s assigns or collateral assignees in the provisions of this Agreement which set forth such rights and remedies) and each Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers in the exercise of such rights and remedies. Each Originator further agrees to give to the Administrative Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to Buyer hereunder.

(q) Compliance with Law. Such Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable originated by such Originator, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s) Payments to such Originator. With respect to each Receivable transferred hereunder by such Originator to Buyer, the Purchase Price received by such Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by such Originator of any Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

(t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable originated by such Originator is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the

Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u) Nature of Receivables. Each Receivable originated by such Originator is an “account” under and as defined in the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions.
