Management Subscription Agreement, dated as of January , 2005 (this “Agreement”), among ALH Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the signatories hereto (individually, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2004, as the same shall be amended from time to time, with Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC and the Sellers (as defined therein) (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, certain Purchasers (the “Rollover Sellers”) hereunder for whom an amount is indicated opposite such Rollover Seller’s name (the “Rollover Amount”) on such Rollover Seller’s respective signature page hereto, shall exchange units of Alliance Laundry Holdings LLC for shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (such shares, the “Rollover Shares”) as provided herein;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the ALH Holding Inc. Stock Purchase and Rollover Investment Plan, each of the Purchasers desires to subscribe for, and the Company desires to make available for purchase, (i) those shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “ Investment Shares”) and (ii) with respect to Purchasers who are Rollover Sellers, the Rollover Shares (together with the Investment Shares, the “Shares”), indicated as being subscribed for by each Purchaser on such Purchaser’s respective signature page hereto, on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares.

(a) General. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, each Purchaser hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to each such Purchaser for such Purchaser’s own account, the number of Investment Shares and Rollover Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have any obligation to sell any of the Shares to any Purchaser who is a resident

of a jurisdiction in which the sale of Shares to such Purchaser would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws of such jurisdiction.

(b) Purchase Price. The purchase price per Share shall be $100.00.

(c) Consideration. At the Closing (as defined below), each Purchaser shall purchase, as the case may be, (i) the Investment Shares for the aggregate amount set forth as “Cash Consideration for Investment Shares” opposite such Purchaser’s name on such Purchaser’s respective signature page hereto (the “Investment Consideration”), and (ii) the Rollover Shares, in the case of the Rollover Sellers, for the Rollover Amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on such Purchasers’ respective signature page hereto (such Rollover Amount, together with the Investment Consideration, the “Consideration”). Upon verbal notice by the Company to the applicable Purchasers, (A) the Investment Consideration shall be paid by each applicable Purchaser two business days prior to the Closing in cash to an escrow account (payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds) and such funds in the escrow account shall be released to the Company on the Closing Date (as defined below) and (B) the Rollover Amount shall be deemed paid by each applicable Purchaser to the Company at the Closing pursuant to a reduction of the amount payable to each such Rollover Seller under the Unit Purchase Agreement by their respective Rollover Amounts. If the Closing hereunder does not occur within 10 business days after the deposit of funds into the escrow account, any amounts then held in the escrow account shall be returned to the applicable Purchasers.

2. Closing.

(a) Time and Place. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be held at the same place and at the same time as the closing under the Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”).

(b) Delivery by the Company. At the Closing, against delivery of the Consideration by each Purchaser and the release of the funds held in the escrow account to the Company pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof, the Company will deliver to each such Purchaser (i) a stock certificate registered in such Purchaser’s name and representing the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser, which certificates shall bear the legends set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (as the same shall be amended from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”), among the Company, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (“OTPP”) and the Purchasers, and (ii) a signature page to the Stockholders Agreement executed by the Company.

(c) Delivery by the Purchasers. At the Closing, each of the Purchasers will deliver (i) the Consideration as provided in Section 1(c) and (ii) a signature page to the Stockholders Agreement executed by such Purchaser.

(d) Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Purchasers under this Agreement to purchase the Shares, and the obligation of the Company under this Agreement to sell the Shares, are both subject to the conditions that the closing under the Unit Purchase Agreement shall have occurred or shall be occurring.

3. Purchaser’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) Investment Intention and Restrictions on Disposition. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
