Exhibit 10.25

Success Fee Grant
February 26, 2002

Mr. James R. Christie

Dear Jim:

The Personnel & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a
success fee based upon the following.

We are in the process of exploring opportunities to sell Milacron's Widia
operations. As a key member of the Metalworking Technologies Group's management
team, we will need your assistance, complete confidentiality, and full
cooperation. For your help in bringing this transaction to a successful
conclusion, and provided you do not terminate your employment with the company
prior to the closing and comply with the confidentiality requirements, should a
sale be consummated, you will receive the following:

         A bonus of $125,000, with the sale of the Widia operations
         payable after the closing date and at the conclusion of a
         purchase price adjustment, if any, but in any event,
         within six months after closing.

         An additional bonus of up to $50,000 will be available at the
         discretion of the CEO, based on the successful outcome of the
         transaction, including any purchase price adjustment.

Sincerely,

/s/ Ron Brown
