LLC PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS LLC PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of October 25, 2004, by and among Warner Electric Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), Colfax Corporation, a Delaware corporation and parent of Seller (“Colfax”) and CPT Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”).

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from Seller and Seller desires to sell, assign and transfer to Buyer all of the limited liability company interests (the “LLC Interests”) of Power Transmission Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PT”), which transfer, assignment and sale shall cause Buyer to own each of the direct subsidiaries of PT listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively with PT, the “Acquired Companies”) and the indirect subsidiaries of PT listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) all for the purchase price and subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

See Appendix A for a list of definitions used in this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

SALE AND PURCHASE OF LLC INTERESTS

2.01 Sale and Purchase of LLC Interests.

On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, the LLC Interests for the purchase price specified in Section 2.02.

2.02 Purchase Price.

In full consideration for the LLC Interests and subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.03 below, Buyer shall pay Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller prior to Closing an aggregate amount of cash equal to $180 million (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03, the “Purchase Price”).

2.03 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Attached hereto is Schedule 2.03(a) which sets forth the Net Working Capital of CTPG and the adjustments agreed upon between Buyer and Seller for calculating such Net Working Capital as of September 30, 2004 (the “Peg Balance Sheet”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Date”), Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer the closing statement to be prepared in good faith using the same methodology set forth in the Peg Balance Sheet and using consistently applied accounting policies and the same foreign exchange rates used in preparation of the Peg Balance Sheet (the “Closing Statement”) and a certificate based on such Closing Statement setting forth Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (as defined below) calculated in accordance with 2.03(b) below.

(b) The Purchase Price Adjustment Amount shall be the sum of (i) and (ii) below minus (iii):

(i) all cash on the balance sheet as of the Closing Date, as set forth on the Closing Statement; and

(ii) the difference between (x) the Net Working Capital set forth on the Closing Statement and (y) the Net Working Capital set forth on the Peg Balance Sheet; and

(iii) the amount of CPTG indebtedness, including all intercompany loan obligations other than those between or among the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries, for principal, interest, fees and charges for borrowed money (excluding capital leases entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business), as of the Closing Date.

(c) If Buyer disagrees with Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a), Buyer may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Seller disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth Buyer’s calculation of such amount, which calculation shall be prepared in good faith. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Buyer disagrees, and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a).

(d) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(c), Buyer and Seller shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, which amount shall not be more than the amount shown in the calculation delivered by the party to which the Purchase Price Adjustment is due nor less than the amount thereof shown in the calculation delivered by the party required to pay the Purchase Price Adjustment. If during such period, Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause PricewaterhouseCoopers (or if unable or unwilling to accept its mandate, an independent accountant to be mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller) (PricewaterhouseCoopers or such other independent accountant, as the case may be, the “Accounting Referee”) to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the

purpose of calculating the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The cost of such review and report shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

(e) Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 2.03, including, without limitation, the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(f) If the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such amount and Buyer shall pay such additional amount to Seller in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 2.03(g). If the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such amount and Seller shall remit such amount to Buyer in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 2.03(g). “Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount” means the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (i) as shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a) if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(c); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Accounting Referee’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(d).

(g) Any payment pursuant to Section 2.03(f) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within three Business Days after Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount has been determined, by wire transfer by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of such other party as may be designated in writing by such other party. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time as the “prime rate” at the large U.S. money center banks during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days and the actual number of days elapsed.

2.04 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts to agree to a preliminary allocation of the Purchase Price (the “Preliminary Allocation”) among the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries and their related assets at or prior to Closing in accordance with Code section 1060 and the applicable Treasury Regulations. Within fifteen (15) days of determination of any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.03, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a proposed final allocation of the purchase price among the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries and their related assets for the purposes of financial and tax reporting (the “Final Allocation”). It is agreed that the Final Allocation will be adjusted from the Preliminary Allocation only for the adjustments related to each specific Acquired Company and Subsidiary. Seller shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such allocation give written notice to Buyer

of its agreement or disagreement with such allocation. If Seller objects to Buyer’s allocation, Seller shall give Buyer written notice of the objections and Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the differences. If within thirty (30) days after the date on which Seller has given Buyer notice of its objections, the parties have not adopted the allocation, any dispute related thereto shall be referred to the Accounting Referee and resolved thirty (30) days after such referral. The Accounting Referee’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The costs, expenses, and fees of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by the parties. The resulting allocation, whether or not objected to by Seller or as determined by the Accounting Referee, is referred to as the “Allocation Agreement”.

(b) Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer and Seller will (i) be bound by the Allocation Agreement, (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation Agreement in the preparation of and filing of all Tax Returns, reports, forms, declarations or questionnaires (including, without limitation, filing Form 8594 with any federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any tax audit, refund claim or litigation relating thereto and (iii) not take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Agreement for all Tax purposes. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to this transaction, each party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its completed Form 8594. In the event that such Allocation Agreement is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving such notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party hereto concerning resolution of such dispute, and no dispute shall be finally settled or compromised without the mutual consent of Seller and Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

3.03 Organization and Standing.

(a) Each Acquired Company and each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their state or country of organization. Each Acquired Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the property owned or leased by them or in which the conduct of their business requires them to be so qualified, except where such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has furnished to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of the certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement, bylaws, partnership agreement and other organizational documents, as applicable, of each Acquired Company and each Subsidiary, as amended to date and currently in effect, certified by their respective managing members, general partner or Secretary, as the case may be. Each Acquired Company and each Subsidiary has full power and authority to own, use and lease its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are owned, used or leased and as such business is currently conducted.

3.05 Litigation; Compliance with Law.

(a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.05(a), (i) there is no litigation or other material claim pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge threatened by, against, affecting or regarding Seller, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary or their respective businesses, properties or assets, at law or in equity, before any federal, state, local or foreign court or any other governmental or administrative agency or tribunal or any arbitrator or arbitration panel, and (ii) there are no judgments, orders, rulings, charges, decrees, injunctions, notices of violation or other mandates against or affecting Colfax, Seller or any Acquired Company or Subsidiary with respect to the businesses, properties or assets of CPTG, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary.

(b) During the time the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries were owned and operated by Seller, each of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries has conducted and is conducting its business in material compliance with applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules or orders and other material requirements of any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority or court or other tribunal relating to it (including, but not limited to, any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, order or requirement relating to securities, properties, business, products, advertising, sales or employment practices, immigration, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, safety, occupational safety, health or welfare conditions relating to premises occupied, product safety and liability or civil rights) except where such failure to be in material compliance with applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules or orders and other material requirements of any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority or court or other tribunal relating to it that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To Seller’s Knowledge, none of the Acquired Companies nor any Subsidiary is now charged with, is not now under investigation with respect to, any possible violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, order or requirement relating to any of the foregoing in connection with the Business, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, each of the Acquired Companies and each Subsidiary has filed all reports required to be filed with any Governmental Authority.

To Seller’s Knowledge, no registration, filing, application, notice, transfer, consent, approval, order, qualification, waiver or other action of any kind is required by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to avoid the loss of any material rights pertaining to any such license, permit, franchise, order, approval, accreditation, waiver or authorization.

3.06 Financial Statements and Condition.

(a) Seller and Colfax have caused to be prepared and furnished to Buyer the audited combined balance sheets, statement of operations and comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for Seller as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 (collectively, the “Seller Financial Statements”), copies of which are attached hereto as Schedule 3.06(a). The audited Seller Financial Statements, including the footnotes thereto, present fairly the financial position of the Seller as of such dates and the results of operations and cash flow for the respective periods indicated and are consistent with the books and records of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries. CPTG is separately managed as part of Colfax Corporation and as such, certain assumptions had to be made in presenting the financial statements of CPTG. Therefore, the audited financial statements included herein may not reflect the combined financial position, operating results, and the cash flows of CPTG in the future or what they would have been had CPTG been a separate, independent entity during the periods presented. The Seller Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in accordance with past practices on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby. The audited Seller Financial Statements are accompanied by the related report of Ernst & Young LLP, independent certified public accountants.

(b) Seller and Colfax caused to be prepared and furnished to Buyer (i) the unaudited, pro forma, combined balance sheets, income statements, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for CPTG as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003, (ii) the unaudited, pro forma, combined balance sheets, income statements, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for CPTG for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”), copies of which are attached hereto as Schedule 3.06(b). The Financial Statements (i) have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (except for the absence of footnotes thereto and other presentation items and subject to normal and customary year-end audit adjustments), (ii) have been prepared on the basis described on Schedule 3.06(b), and (iii) present fairly the financial position of CPTG as of such dates and the results of operations on a pro forma basis for the respective periods indicated. CPTG is separately managed as part of Colfax Corporation and as such, certain assumptions had to be made in presenting the financial statements of CPTG. Therefore, the Financial Statements included herein may not reflect the combined financial position, operating results, and the cash flows of CPTG in the future or what they would have been had CPTG been a separate, independent entity during the periods presented.

(c To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that would be reasonably likely to materially adversely affect CPTG’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and there have been no significant changes in internal controls since December 31, 2003.

3.07 Intellectual Property; Licenses.

(a) Schedule 3.07(a) contains a true and complete listing of all franchises, licenses, trademarks, trademark registrations and applications, trade names, patents, patent applications, patent licenses, software licenses (excluding licenses for commercially available software pursuant to commercially reasonable terms for a license fee of no more than $10,000), service marks, service mark registrations and applications, copyright registrations and applications and domain names owned by the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries (“Scheduled Intellectual Property”). To Seller’s Knowledge, the Acquired Companies or one of the Subsidiaries is the sole and exclusive owner of, or has valid and continuing rights to use, sell and license, as the case may be, the Scheduled Intellectual Property and all other intellectual property and software, including trade secrets, (the Scheduled Intellectual Property and all other intellectual property of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries collectively referred to as “Intellectual Property”) used, sold or licensed by the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries in their businesses as currently conducted, free and clear of all Liens.

(b) To Seller’s Knowledge, each of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries has the right to use, free and clear of any litigation or claims or rights of any other Person, all trade secrets, customer lists, manufacturing and secret processes and know-how (if any) required for or used in the manufacture or marketing of all products services being sold, provided, manufactured, or under development by it, including products licensed from other Persons. Any payments required to be made by any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary for the use of such trade secrets, customer lists, manufacturing and secret processes and know-how are described in Schedule 3.07(b). To Seller’s Knowledge, no Acquired Company or Subsidiary is in any way making an unlawful or wrongful use of any confidential information, know-how, or

trade secrets of any other Person, including without limitation any former employer of any present or past employee of Seller, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary.

3.08 Property, Assets, and Leases.

(a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.08(a), each of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the property and assets used and necessary in the Business as it is currently conducted or reflected in the Financial Statements. At the Closing, the property and assets of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries will constitute all material rights, properties, and other assets that are necessary to conduct the Business as it was conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business immediately prior to the Closing. To Seller’s Knowledge, all material tangible personal property owned by the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries is in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(b) Real Property listed on Schedule 3.08(b) comprises all real property owned or leased by the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries in the conduct of the Business.

(c) To Seller’s Knowledge, Schedule 3.08(c) contains a complete list of all leases and subleases pursuant to which the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries lease personal property for the Acquired Companies that require payment of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more per year. All leases listed on Schedule 3.08(c) are valid and binding against the applicable Acquired Company or Subsidiary, except as limited by any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (whether or not considered in a court of law or equity), and, to Seller’s Knowledge, are in full force and effect. All material leased personal property of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries is in the condition required of such property by the terms of the lease or sublease applicable thereto.

3.09 Conflicts.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the agreements and instruments called for hereunder, the fulfillment of and the compliance with the respective terms and provisions of each, and the consummation of the transactions described in each, do not conflict with or result in the violation of any law, ordinance, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or decree applicable to Colfax, Seller, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary or conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any organizational documents of Colfax, Seller, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary or any material contract, agreement, lease, commitment, permit or understanding to

which Colfax, Seller, any Acquired Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any such party is bound, or result in the acceleration of, or obligation to make any material payment or any material indebtedness of such parties or in the creation of any material encumbrance or Lien upon the assets of the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries, except where such conflicts, violations, breach, default or acceleration would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10 Taxes.

(a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.10(a), all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries (or any Affiliated Group of which any of the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries is or was a member) required to be filed have been timely filed or timely requests for extensions of time to file have been filed (and such Tax Returns have been filed within the period set by such extension), and such returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(b) Any information provided to or obtained by Buyer pursuant to paragraph (a) above is “Information” as defined under the Confidentiality Agreement, dated May 13, 2004, among the Colfax and Buyer (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and is to be held by Buyer in accordance with and be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) Each of Seller, Colfax and Buyer agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement as if such provisions were set forth herein, and such provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

5.03 Employment.

Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries to continue to employ, on the terms required by Section 5.04, all individuals who are employed by the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date, including those who are on lay-off, leaves of absence, or short-term disability (collectively, “Continuing Employees”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall require Buyer to continue to employee any individual after the Closing Date.

5.04 Compensation and Employee Benefits.

(a) In General. Buyer shall cause each Continuing Employee who remains employed after the Closing Date to have employment terms and conditions including compensation and employee benefits which, in the aggregate, are at least as favorable to such Continuing Employee as to those provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Compensation and benefits shall not be decreased for a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date for any Continuing Employee employed during that period except as a result of collective bargaining. Buyer shall assume all of the Acquired Companies’ obligations to Continuing Employees, including, but not limited to, assumption of certain employee transition agreements described on Schedule 5.04(a) (the “Transition Agreements”). Subject to the foregoing and the other provisions of this Section 5.04, Buyer has the right to determine the compensation and employee benefits of the Continuing Employees. Buyer shall be responsible as of the Closing Date for all liability, obligations and Claims arising after the Closing Date which arise from or relate to any employment agreements, retention agreements or collective bargaining agreements; any grievances, arbitrations or unfair labor practice charges; and any alleged violation of Law. Seller and Colfax shall be responsible for all liability, obligations and Claims arising prior to and including the Closing Date which arise from or relate to any employment agreements, retention agreements or collective bargaining agreements; any grievances, arbitrations or unfair labor practice charges; or any alleged violations of Law.

(b) Service Credit. For purposes of any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established for or made available to Continuing Employees by Buyer (the “Buyer Plans”), Buyer shall credit such Continuing Employees with service for all periods of service prior to the Closing Date with the Acquired Companies or any Subsidiary to the extent that such service was credited under the equivalent Seller benefit plans. Such service will be credited for purposes of determining eligibility for, vesting in, and the amount of benefits under all of the Buyer Plans and for all other purposes for which service is either taken into account or recognized; provided, however, such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits.

(c) Welfare Plans. Buyer Plans which are welfare benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA (“Buyer’s Welfare Plans”) shall provide coverage and benefits to Continuing Employees of the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries (and the eligible dependents of the Continuing Employees) beginning on the Closing Date. Buyer shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries to, waive any pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods for Continuing Employees under Buyer’s welfare plans (but only to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods were satisfied under the Seller benefit plans as of the Closing Date). Colfax benefit plans that are welfare benefits plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA and that provide benefits to Continuing Employees (“Colfax Welfare Plans”) shall be liable for all claims incurred with respect to Continuing Employees and their spouses and dependents under the Colfax Welfare Plans if incurred on or prior to the Closing Date. The Continuing Employees shall be entitled to apply deductibles and out-of-pocket payments expended for covered medical and dental expenses under the Acquired Companies’ welfare plans, in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, to the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under the Buyer’s Welfare Plans. After the Closing Date, Buyer, the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries shall be responsible for all claims incurred by Continuing Employees after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.04(c), a claim will be deemed “incurred” on the date that the event that gives rise to the claim occurs (for purposes of life insurance, sickness, accident and disability programs) or on the date that treatment or services are provided (for purposes of health care programs). The provisions of this Section 5.04(c) shall not apply in respect of any severance or termination plans, policies or arrangements.

(d) Pension Plan Transfer.

(i) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish (or cause the Acquired Companies or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to establish) a defined benefit pension plan and trust intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code (“Buyer’s Pension Plan”) for the benefit of Continuing Employees, who have an accrued benefit under the Retirement Plan for Power Transmission Employees of Colfax Corporation (“Colfax Pension Plan”) at the Closing Date (the “Pension Participants”). Each Pension Participant participating in the Colfax Pension Plan at the Closing Date shall become a participant in Buyer’s Pension Plan as of the Closing Date.

(ii) On the Closing Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, following the establishment of Buyer’s Pension Plan, but in no event later than 45 days following the establishment of such plan, Colfax shall cause to be filed all required Forms 5310-A

and any other required IRS or PBGC forms with the appropriate governmental agency in order for Buyer’s Pension Plan to receive a transfer of assets and liabilities from the Colfax Pension Plan on or following the Closing Date in accordance with the spinoff provisions set forth in Code Section 414(l) and in accordance with the provisions described below in this Section 5.04(d).

(iii) Effective as of the Closing Date, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04(d), Colfax shall cause the Colfax Pension Plan and related trust to transfer to Buyer’s Pension Plan and related trust, and Buyer shall cause Buyer’s Pension Plan and related trust to accept from the Colfax Pension Plan and related trust, a transfer of all liabilities for benefits accrued under the Colfax Pension Plan by the Pension Participants, calculated as of the Closing Date in the manner described below; provided, however, that the acceptance of such liabilities shall be expressly conditioned on the completion of the asset transfer described below in this Section 5.04(d).

(iv) As soon as practicable following the establishment of Buyer’s Pension Plan and satisfaction of any applicable regulatory filing requirements and the requirements set forth in this Section 5.04(d), but not later than 180 days following satisfaction of such requirements unless the parties otherwise agree in writing (the “Final Transfer Date”), Colfax shall cause a transfer of the assets in respect of the transferred liabilities from the trust(s) established pursuant to Colfax Pension Plan to the trust(s) established pursuant to Buyer’s Pension Plan, and Buyer shall cause the trust(s) established pursuant to Buyer’s Pension Plan to accept such transfer of assets, in a total amount determined in accordance with Code Section 414(l) and this Section 5.04(d). In no event shall the total amount so transferred be less than the amount that is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code. Such transfer of assets shall be in cash, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Unless Colfax and Buyer agree otherwise in writing, all transfers shall occur on the last business day of a month. Colfax’s Actuary (as defined below) shall be responsible for the required actuarial certification under Section 414(l) of the Code.

(v) Colfax shall cause the enrolled actuary for the Colfax Pension Plan (“Colfax’s Actuary”) to calculate the transferred liabilities and the amount of assets to be transferred in respect of such transferred liabilities as if the Colfax Pension Plan were terminated on the Closing Date using the “safe harbor” assumptions (as in effect on the Closing Date) that would be used by the PBGC to calculate such benefits upon the termination of such plan (the “Transferred Benefit Liability”). The calculation of the transfer Benefit Liability and the amount of assets to be transferred with respect of such liability will be in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Section 4044 of ERISA and on the basis of the cost method and the actuarial assumptions and procedures set forth on Schedule 5.04(d)(v) and the benefits accrued by the Pension Participants under the Colfax Pension Plan as of the Closing Date, in accordance with the requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code. The amount of the assets to be transferred from the Colfax Pension Plan to Buyer’s Pension Plan in respect of such Transferred Benefit Liabilities, as calculated pursuant to this Section 5.04(d), shall be referred to as the “Transfer Amount.”

(vi) Colfax shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses incurred by Colfax, Colfax’s Actuary or the Colfax Pension Plan in the calculation and transfer of the Transfer Amount. The actuarial calculation of the Transferred Benefit Liability

and Transfer Amount determined by Colfax’s Actuary shall be subject to review and challenge by an actuarial firm designated by Buyer. In the event of a good faith dispute between those two actuaries as to the amount to be transferred under this Section 5.04(d), Colfax and Buyer shall select and appoint a mutually satisfactory third-party independent actuary. Such third-party actuary’s decision shall be conclusive as to any dispute for which the third-party actuary was appointed. The cost of such third-party actuary shall be divided equally between Colfax and Buyer.

(vii) A preliminary transfer of assets shall be made as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, or, if later, 45 days following the filing of IRS Form 5310-A by Colfax’s Pension Plan (“Initial Transfer Date”). Within the time periods set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Colfax shall cause to be transferred from the trust for the Colfax Pension Plan to the trust established for Buyer’s Pension Plan, an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the amount reasonably estimated by Colfax’s Actuary in good faith to be equal to the Transfer Amount, plus interest at the Interest Rate defined below from and including the Closing Date through but excluding the date of the initial transfer (the “Initial Transfer Amount”). As soon as administratively practicable after the date of the final determination of the Transfer Amount (the “True-Up Date”), and no later than the Final Transfer Date and if the True-Up Amount is positive, Colfax shall cause a second transfer to be made from the trust for the Colfax Pension Plan to the trust for Buyer’s Pension Plan of the “True-Up Amount.” The True-Up Amount shall be an amount equal to the Transfer Amount minus the sum of (i) the Initial Transfer Amount and (ii) the amount of any distributions made to any Pension Participant by the Colfax Pension Plan during the period after the Closing Date and prior to the Final Transfer Date, plus interest on the True-Up Amount at a rate equal to the composite rate of return earned by the Power Transmission plan from the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurred (if the Closing date was on the 2nd or later of the month), to the last day of the month preceding the True Up Date (the “Interest Rate”) or, in the case of distributions, from and including the Closing Date through the date such distribution is made or such expense is paid.

(viii) If the True-Up Amount is not a positive amount, then on the True-Up Date or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, Buyer shall cause Buyer’s Pension Plan trust to transfer to the Colfax Pension Plan trust an amount equal to the amount by which the Initial Transfer Amount exceeds the Transfer Amount, plus interest thereon from and including the Initial Transfer Date through but excluding the True-Up Date (or, if later, the date on which such amount is transferred to the Colfax Pension Plan) at the Interest Rate, plus an amount equal to distributions, if any, from the Colfax Pension Plan to the Pension Participants from the Closing Date through the Final Transfer Date, adjusted for interest at the Interest Rate, consistent with the approach set forth in Section 5.04(d)(vii) above.

(e) Savings Plans Transfer.

(i) Effective as of the Closing Date, Colfax will cause all Continuing Employees who are participants in their respective savings plans to become fully vested in their account balances under their respective savings plans (the “Colfax Savings Plans”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish (or cause the Acquired Companies or one of the Subsidiaries, as applicable, to establish) a defined contribution pension plan intended to be

qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (“Buyer’s Savings Plan”) for the benefit of the Continuing Employees who have account balances under the Colfax Savings Plans (the “Savings Participants”).

(ii) As soon as practicable following the establishment of Buyer’s Savings Plan and satisfaction of any applicable regulatory filing requirements and the requirements set forth in this Section 5.04(e), but not later than 180 days following satisfaction of such requirements unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, Colfax shall cause a transfer of the plan accounts, valued as of the date of transfer, of the Savings Participants, from the Colfax Savings Plans and related trusts to Buyer’s Savings Plan and related trust, and Buyer shall cause Buyer’s Savings Plan and related trust to accept such transfer of assets (the date on which such transfer occurs is referred to as the “Savings Transfer Date”), including outstanding loan notes. Such transfer of assets shall be in cash (and loan notes), unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Unless Colfax and Buyer agree otherwise in writing, all transfers shall occur on the last business day of a month.

(iii) From and after the Closing Date until the Savings Transfer Date, any benefit payable to a Savings Participant shall be paid and continue to be paid out of the Colfax Savings Plans’ trusts (it also being understood that Colfax shall continue to administer such accounts through the Savings Transfer Date, including participant investment directions). On and after the Savings Transfer Date, any such benefits payable to a Savings Participant shall be paid from Buyer’s Savings Plan trust. Colfax shall cause the Colfax Savings Plans to be amended to the extent required to provide that no distribution of any account balances under the Colfax Savings Plans shall be made to any Savings Participant on account of the actions contemplated by this Agreement and this Section 5.04(e), or on account of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries ceasing to be affiliates of Colfax as of the Closing Date. Colfax and Buyer shall work together to develop a process whereby Savings Participants who have loans outstanding under the Colfax Savings Plans as of the Closing Date will be permitted to continue to make periodic repayments on such outstanding loans through reduction of salary paid by Buyer or the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries, and Buyer or the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries remitting such payments to the Colfax Savings Plans on a timely basis.

(f) Retiree Welfare Benefits. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume (or cause the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries, if applicable, to continue to honor), to the extent not otherwise required by or resulting from operation of Law or collective bargaining agreements, all post-employment and post-retirement welfare benefit obligations with respect to all Continuing Employees. Buyer shall establish a post-retirement welfare benefit plan (“Buyer’s PRB Plan”) for the benefit of the Continuing Employees that provides benefits that are substantially comparable to the benefits provided under the Company Benefit Plans which provide post-retirement welfare plan. Benefits under Buyer’s PRB Plan, in the case of a Union Employee, shall continue at least until the expiration of the applicable collective bargaining agreement).

(g) Flexible Benefits. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Colfax shall transfer the remaining account balances for each of the Continuing Employees in the Colfax Flexible Spending Account Plan (“Colfax FSA Plan”) (which shall consist of the amount the Continuing Employees have contributed to date minus the total amount of any claims paid,

and such transfer shall include any liabilities to the Continuing Employees) to the Buyer’s FSA plan. To the extent that the total amount of claims paid by Colfax as of the transfer date exceeds the total amount the Continuing Employees have contributed to the Colfax FSA Plan as of the transfer date, Buyer shall promptly pay to Colfax this amount. Colfax shall provide administrative assistance as is reasonably necessary in transferring the account balances under the Colfax FSA to Buyer.

(h) 2004 Bonus Plans. Buyer shall assume the obligation under the bonus arrangements applicable to the CPTG, the terms of which are described on Schedule 5.04(h). In the event that Buyer terminates a Continuing Employee prior to the Continuing Employee receiving his 2004 Bonus, Buyer agrees that it will pay a pay that portion of the 2004 Bonus to the terminated Continuing Employee equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Continuing Employee’s 2004 Bonus amount by the number of months during 2004 that the Continuing Employee was employed by CPTG and Buyer.

(i) Cooperation.

(i) Colfax agrees to furnish Buyer with such information concerning employees, employee payroll and employee benefit plans, subject to confidentiality and privacy considerations, and to take all such other action as is necessary and appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii) Colfax and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in connection with any required notification to, or any required consultation with, or the provision of documents and information to, the employees, employee representatives, work councils, unions, labor boards and relevant government agencies and governmental officials concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to Continuing Employees of any of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries not employed in the United States so that such persons may render advice as required in accordance with Law.

5.05 Filings; Other Action.

Subject to the terms and conditions provided herein, Colfax, Seller and Buyer shall (a) use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other in (i) determining which filings are required to be made prior to the Closing Date, and which consents are required to be obtained in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents; and (b) use their reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions to each of Seller’s and Buyer’s obligations hereunder to be fulfilled, including, but not limited to, those filings which may be required pursuant to Section 5.09 hereof.

5.06 Publicity.

Except as required by applicable Law, no publicity, release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by either party without the advance written consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that a party is required by applicable Law to make a release or announcement,

such party shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review such release or announcement before such release or announcement is made.

5.07 Records.

With respect to the financial books and records of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries (other than Tax records which are provided for in Section 5.08 and minute books of Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries relating to matters on or prior to the Closing Date), for a period of ten years after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor Buyer shall cause or permit their destruction or disposal without first offering to surrender them to Buyer or Seller as appropriate, and Seller and Buyer shall allow Buyer and Seller and their representatives, as appropriate, access to such books and records during regular business hours.

5.08 Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer shall retain and shall cause the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries to retain, and Seller and Colfax shall retain, and each such party shall make available or shall cause to be made available to the other party, until the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be relevant to such returns for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending before or including the Closing, shall make available at a mutually convenient time such knowledgeable employees and facilities as are needed to provide explanation of any such documents or information and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy same at the cost of such other party.

(b) Seller shall prepare and file all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries for all periods commencing prior to and ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”). Seller or Colfax shall cause an election under Section 754 of the Code (and similar elections under all similar provision of Law) to be in effect for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date with respect to each Acquired Company or Subsidiary treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (or other income tax Law) for which the tax period will end under the provisions of Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code (or similar provisions of Law) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall prepare and file all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries for all periods commencing after the Closing Date and ending thereafter (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, if any (the “Straddle Period”). Buyer shall forward the Straddle Period Tax Returns and supporting calculations to Seller, for Seller’s review, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the filing of the Tax Returns. In preparation of the Straddle Period Tax Returns, Buyer shall use accounting methods and elections consistent with those used previously by Seller, unless Buyer obtains the prior written consent of Seller or Colfax (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to do otherwise; provided, however, that Buyer may make elections under Section 754 of the Code (or any similar election under any similar provision of Law). Upon demand by Buyer, Seller and Colfax shall within five business days pay to Buyer the portion of Straddle Period Taxes (to

the extent such Taxes exceed prepayments made with respect to such Taxes prior to the Closing Date) allocated to Seller pursuant to Section 5.08(g).

(c) Seller and Buyer shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close the taxable period of the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in the case of Taxes payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date and by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company as of the close of the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

(d) Seller and Colfax and Buyer shall provide to each other prompt notice of, and as requested by the other party reasonable cooperation (including, without limitation, make available at a mutually convenient time knowledgeable employees, documents, information and facilities) in respect of, any audit or similar investigation or proceeding in which the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority makes or proposes to make a Tax adjustment to any Tax period of the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries.

(e) Seller shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any audit or examination by any Taxing authority, initiate any claim for refund, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment (a “Tax Matter”) as it relates to the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods or the portion of any Straddle Period through the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Matter without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such settlement compromise or abandonment would adversely affect Buyer. Buyer shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any Tax Matter as it relates to the Acquired Companies or Subsidiaries for the portion of any Straddle Periods after the Closing Date and all Post-Closing Tax Periods; provided, however, that with respect to Straddle Periods, Buyer shall not settle, compromise or abandon any Tax Matter without the consent of Seller or Colfax, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such settlement compromise or abandonment would adversely affect Seller.

(f) Buyer shall not make, or cause to be made, an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code or similar election pursuant to any Law concerning the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, Seller and Colfax, jointly and severally, hereby agree from and after the Closing Date to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses relating to, or arising out of, (i) all Taxes attributable to (including by virtue of Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-6 and any similar provision of state, local, or foreign tax laws) the Acquired Companies and the Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period through the Closing Date and (ii) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.10 (determined without regard to any qualification related to materiality contained therein). Colfax shall be entitled to any reduction in or refund of Taxes, net of any Taxes with respect thereto, for Pre-Closing Periods and for the portion of any Straddle Period through the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid), and shall indemnify and hold harmless Colfax and its Affiliates and subsidiaries (excluding the Acquired Companies and Subsidiaries) from and against, (i) all Taxes attributable to any Acquired Company and Subsidiaries for Post-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period after the Closing Date and (ii) for any increase in Taxes attributable to any Acquired Company and Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period through the Closing Date, to the extent such increase is caused directly by any action taken on the Closing Date by Buyer or the Acquired Companies after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business without Colfax’s written consent. Buyer shall be entitled to any reduction in or refund of such Taxes. The indemnification provided for in this Section 5.08(g) shall be the sole remedy for any claim in respect of Taxes, including any claim arising out of or relating to a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.10 hereof, and in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.08(g), on the one hand, and the provisions of Article IX hereof, on the other, the provisions of this Section 5.08(g) shall control. To the extent that a party indemnified pursuant to this provision actually recognizes Tax Benefits as a result of any indemnifiable Losses, the indemnified party shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payments or payments actually received from the indemnifying party with respect to such Losses) to the indemnifying party as such Tax Benefits are actually recognized by the indemnified party.

(h) Any Tax allocation, indemnity, or similar agreement or arrangement between Seller and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies or the Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year).

(i) Seller, Colfax and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 5.08(g) or Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

5.09 Hart-Scott-Rodino.

As promptly as practicable and no later than fifteen (15) business days following the execution of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall complete any filings that may be required pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (“HSR Act”) or shall mutually agree that no such filing is required. To the extent that the parties determine that any foreign antitrust filings are required, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to promptly complete such filings, and such filings will be made within twenty (20) business days following execution of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall diligently take, or

fully cooperate in the taking of, all necessary and proper steps, and provide any additional information reasonably requested in order to comply with, the requirements of such Act and foreign Laws. Buyer and Colfax shall promptly disclose to each other the substance of any contacts either party has with antitrust authorities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Colfax or its Affiliates may acquire a business with Competing Products that exceed the thresholds set forth in provision (ii)(B) above, provided that in such case Colfax or its Affiliate making such acquisition, shall provide Buyer with prompt notice of such acquisition after the closing date of such acquisition and shall, for a period of thirty (30) days after notice to Buyer, give Buyer the opportunity to negotiate in good faith exclusively with Colfax, to buy the Competing Products on commercially reasonable terms and Price. In the event that Buyer elects not to acquire the Restricted Business, Colfax, or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall divest the Competing Products within one (1) year following the termination of the thirty (30) day negotiation period. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and that Buyer, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond.

(b) From the Closing Date until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Colfax nor Seller shall, directly or indirectly: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employees of Seller or Colfax who are or become employees of Buyer or its Affiliates to leave such employment; or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of the Business (including any existing or former customer of Seller or Colfax and any Person that becomes a client or customer of the Business after the Closing known to Seller and Colfax as such) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Business, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship.

(c) From the Closing Date until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employees of Seller or Colfax to leave such employment; or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of Seller or Colfax (including any existing or former customer of Seller or Colfax and any Person that becomes a client or customer of Seller or Colfax after the Closing known to Buyer or its Affiliates as such) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Colfax or the Seller, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship.

(d) After the Closing Date, neither Colfax nor Seller nor any of their executive officers or directors shall, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Buyer or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Buyer, any Confidential Information (as defined below). Seller, Colfax and each of their executive officers and directors shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by Law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, such Person shall provide Buyer with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 5.10(c), “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential information with respect to the Business, including, methods of operation, customers, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, technology, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters and the terms, including purchase price and parties, of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement, (ii) is used by Colfax or Seller in connection with its other business operations or (iii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a prohibited disclosure hereunder.

(e) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 5.10 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 5.10 will cause irreparable injury to the parties, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore, the parties hereto will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 5.10. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 5.10 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which the parties hereto may have hereunder or at Law or in equity. In the event that the Buyer were to seek damages for breach of this Section 5.10, the portion of the consideration delivered to Colfax hereunder which is attributed by the parties to the foregoing covenants shall not be considered a measure or limit on such damages.

(f) The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 5.10 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then such a lesser time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.
