employment (1) if I am an at will employee, than at will, or (2) if the Company
and I are party to an employment agreement, to the terms of any previously

Arbitration.

I, the Company, and SPX FLOW, Inc. agree to resolve any claims with each other
arising out of this Agreement (Arbitrable Dispute) through final and binding
arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for Resolution of Employment
Disputes of the American Arbitration Association, except to the extent these
Rules conflict with the parties’ agreement to arbitrate herein. This arbitration
section applies to any disputes about the validity, interpretation or effect of
this Agreement or alleged violation of it. Arbitration shall be the exclusive
remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute and any arbitration will be conducted in
English and take place at the office of the American Arbitration Association
closest to my last place of work for the Company. The decision or award of the
arbitrator shall be in writing and final and binding upon the parties. In the
event that any covenant, provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
found to be void or unenforceable (in whole or in part) by the arbitrator
because of the duration, the scope of activities or the geographic area, the
arbitrator shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope or area of such
covenant, provision or restriction and such covenant, provision or restriction
shall then be enforceable as if originally part of this Agreement. The
arbitrator shall have the power to award all types of legal and equitable relief
available to a court of competent jurisdiction, including, but not limited to,
the costs of arbitration and attorneys’ fees, to the extent such damages are
available under law. This section does not limit the parties’ right to seek and
obtain an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
10.
Remedies Upon Breach.

I recognize and acknowledge that in the event of any default in, or breach of
any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement (either actual or
threatened) by me, FLOW’s remedies at law shall be inadequate. Accordingly, I
agree that in such events, FLOW shall have the right to specific performance
and/or injunctive relief in addition to any and all other remedies and rights at
law or in equity, and such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. In the event
of a breach of paragraphs 2 or 6 of this Agreement, and if any customers or
employees of FLOW are lost by FLOW due to the breach, the parties hereby
stipulate that the court may award damages in an amount equal to two times the
highest annual sales volume (in the case of customer(s)) or highest yearly
salary/wages (in the case of employee(s)) during the five (5) years immediately
preceding termination of my employment.
11.
Waiver.

Failure to insist upon strict compliance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions contained in this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such
term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right
or power hereunder at any one or more time be deemed a waiver or relinquishment
of such right or power at any other time.
12.
Binding Effect.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, their legal representatives, heirs, and successors as well as FLOW’s
divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns. I acknowledge that I may not
