Dear Dave,

This will confirm our recent discussions regarding your appointment as Chief

terms contained in this letter are additional to your existing terms of
employment.

Your base salary will be $270,000 US per annum effective May 23, 2002, plus a

of 140% of base salary. For fiscal year 2003 and beyond, your bonus will be
based on Enodis plc EBITA and cash results (as defined in the Enodis

75% on the results of the Global Food Service Equipment Group, and 25% on the

appropriate time) you will be eligible for annual stock option grants having
a face value of 100% of your base salary. Your car allowance will remain at
$650 US per month ($1,000 Cdn). Your vacation will continue at four weeks
annually. You will be expected to maintain your primary office in our Global
Operations Support Center in New Port Richey, Florida. We will also make
space available for you in the London office. You will be paid out of the
Florida office, but you will retain your current Garland executive benefits.

Finally, as previously agreed, we will assist you and cover any costs
associated with maintaining your proper immigration status, as well as tax

Sincerely,

Dear Bob:

      This letter sets forth the agreement between ENODIS CORPORATION (the
"Company") and you (referred to herein as "you" or "Executive"), with respect
to your employment by the Company and certain of its divisions and/or
affiliates.

      1.    EMPLOYMENT.

            (a) Executive shall be employed by the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth herein as an Executive and shall initially serve as the
Executive Vice President, Global Human Resources for the Company and certain
of its divisions and affiliates and be assigned duties and responsibilities
relating to human resources consistent with Executive's status and position.
From time to time hereafter, your duties may change, as the Company or Enodis
plc (the "Parent") may reasonably determine subject to your rights under
Paragraph 12 hereof. You acknowledge that your employment by the Company, the
Parent and any of its divisions and subsidiaries is "at will" and that your
employment may be terminated at any time with or without Cause either by you
or the Company. You understand that performance of any of the Company's
obligations hereunder may be performed directly by the Company, the Parent
and/or its divisions or subsidiaries. You will serve as an officer and/or
director of the Parent and its subsidiaries as the Company or the Parent
shall request and you shall not be entitled to any additional compensation by
reason of such offices.

            (b) Executive accepts such employment and agrees that throughout
the period of his employment by the Company, he will devote his full business
time, attention, knowledge and skills, faithfully and to the best of his
ability in furtherance of the business of the Company and he will perform the
duties assigned to him pursuant to this Paragraph 1. Executive shall report
to and be subject, at all times, to the direction and control of the
Company's and/or Parent's Chief Executive Officer or such other executive
officers of the Company or the Parent as the Company's or the Parent's Board
of Directors may deem appropriate. Executive shall at all times be subject
to, observe and carry out such rules, regulations, policies, directions and
restrictions as the Company or the Parent may from time to time reasonably
establish. Executive shall initially be headquartered in the New Port Richy,
Florida area, but shall do such traveling

<Page>

as may be required of him in the performance of his duties. In the event the
Company relocates your offices during your employment, at the Company's
request, Executive shall relocate subject to the Company's standard
reimbursement policy for relocation expenses. During the period of
Executive's employment hereunder, Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, accept employment or compensation from or perform services of any
nature for, any business enterprise other than the Parent or its affiliates
except that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Executive's ownership
interest in or from acting as a principal or director of One Source, provided
the same does not interfere with Executive's duties hereunder or otherwise
violate Paragraphs 7, 8 or 9(a)(iv) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Executive from investing
his funds in securities of any company if the securities of such company are
listed for trading on a national stock exchange or traded in the
over-the-counter market and Executive's holdings therein represent less than
1% of the total number of outstanding shares or of other securities of such
company.

      2.    COMPENSATION.

            (a) BASE SALARY. As compensation for Executive's services, as
provided in Paragraph 1 above, the Company will pay to Executive a base
annual salary ("Base Salary") at the rate of $ 225,000 US per annum. Such
Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Remuneration Committee of the Parent's
Board of Directors from time to time and any increase shall be wholly
discretionary and based, among other things, upon the Company's evaluation of
Executive's performance. Executive's Base Salary shall be payable in equal
installments in accordance with the Company's applicable payroll policy.

            (b) EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE AND BONUS PLANS. Executive shall also be
entitled to participate in such Company executive bonus and other incentive
plans as may be offered by the Company from time to time to Executives of
similar stature and responsibility. These may include performance bonus,
stock option and deferred compensation plans. The Company shall be under no
obligation to institute or continue such plans and may from time to time
amend, modify or terminate any such plans.

      3. EXECUTIVE BENEFITS. Executive shall be entitled to participate, to
the extent that Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions thereof,
in any hospitalization or medical insurance plans, 401(k) plans or other
employee benefit plans which are generally available on a group basis to
Executives of the Company's United States operations of comparable level and
status which may be in effect from time to time during the period of
Executive's employment hereunder. The Company shall be under no obligation to
institute or continue the existence of any Executive benefit plan described
herein and may from time to time amend, modify or terminate any such
Executive benefit plan.

      4. VACATIONS. Executive shall be entitled to a paid vacation (in
addition to Company-wide holiday periods) during the period of Executive's
employment by the Company in accordance with the Company's vacation policies
for Executives of comparable level, as in effect from time to time.

      5. EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse Executive for expenses
reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of
Executive's duties hereunder and

                                       2

<Page>

the business of the Company upon submission of appropriate vouchers and
receipts and otherwise in accordance with the Company's travel and
entertainment policy, as in effect from time to time.

      6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Executive will hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company, the Parent and its affiliates all
information, knowledge and data relating to or concerned with their
operations, sales, pricing, budgets, plans, business and affairs (except such
information as is generally known in the industry), and Executive will not,
at any time hereafter, use, disclose or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to or for the benefit of any Person other than to the
Parent or its designees or except as may otherwise be required in connection
with the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates.

      7. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Executive shall comply with the Company's
standards of conduct policy and such other policies of the Company or the
Parent as may be in effect from time to time during the term of Executive's
employment. Copies of the Company's policies, as currently in effect, have
been furnished to Executive.

      8. RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. During the term of Executive's employment with
the Company or its affiliates, Executive shall render his services
exclusively to the Parent and its affiliates. In addition, during the term of
Executive's employment hereunder, and for a period of one year thereafter,
Executive shall not, for himself, or on behalf of any other Person, directly
or indirectly, or by action in concert with others:

            (a)   solicit, induce or encourage any employee of the Parent or
any of its affiliates to terminate his or her employment or other
relationship with the Parent or any of its affiliates;

            (b)   hire any employee (or anyone who was an employee within the
preceding six months) of the Parent or any of its affiliates; or

            (c)   otherwise interfere with the relationship between the
Parent or any of its affiliates and any of its or their employees.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Executive's obligations or the
Company's rights at law. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this
Paragraph 8 and the provisions of Paragraphs 6 and 7 are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the Company and without the limited
restrictions imposed by the provisions of these paragraphs, the Company would
suffer irreparable and immeasurable damage. Executive therefore expressly
agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable
relief to prevent the breach or threatened breach by him of the provisions of
these paragraphs and to secure their enforcement and without the necessity of
posting a bond.

      9.    TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

            (a)   "Cause" means:

                  (i) the willful failure of Executive to perform the
reasonable duties assigned to him commensurate with his executive status for
a period of at least thirty consecutive

                                        3

<Page>

days after Executive has received written warning thereof from the Chief
Executive Officer or Board of Directors of the Company or the Parent that
Executive's services will be terminated;

                  (ii) commission of any act of fraud or gross negligence by
Executive in the course of his employment by the Company, which, in the case
of gross negligence, has a materially adverse effect on the business or
financial condition of the Company, the Parent or any of its affiliates;

                  (iii) willful misrepresentation at any time by Executive to
the Company's or the Parent's Board of Directors or any executive officer of
the Company or the Parent;

                  (iv) engagement by Executive in any conduct or the
commission by Executive of any act which is, in the reasonable opinion of the
Company's or the Parent's Board of Directors, materially injurious or
detrimental to the substantial interest of the Company, the Parent or any of
its affiliates;

                  (v)   breach by Executive of his obligations hereunder; or

                  (vi) a felony conviction of Executive that has a material
impact on the ability of Executive to perform the duties of his position.

            (b) In addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law
or this Agreement, the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder
forthwith upon written notice for Cause. If Executive's employment by the
Company shall be terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Executive shall be
entitled to receive only the Base Salary and benefits actually earned and
payable to Executive pursuant to Paragraph 2 above through the date of the
termination of employment, together with any unreimbursed expenses incurred
through the date of termination. Executive shall not be entitled to receive
any further salary, bonus, expenses, benefits or other compensation of any
kind hereunder accruing or incurred following the date of termination.
Executive acknowledges that, unless otherwise provided for in any bonus plan
or other incentive plan in which Executive may be entitled to participate, no
bonus with respect to any fiscal year shall be payable unless Executive shall
have been employed by the Company both at the end of such fiscal year and on
the date such bonus is otherwise paid to other Executives of the Company.

      10. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. If the Company shall terminate
Executive's employment for any reason other than for Cause, Executive shall
be entitled to receive, as severance and damages and in exchange for a
general release in favor of the Company and its affiliates and the promises
made by Executive hereunder, and as Executive's sole and exclusive right and
remedy on account of such termination, a payment equal to 12 months' Base
Salary at the then current rate ("Termination Payment"). Executive shall also
be entitled to receive any approved unreimbursed business expenses and other
Executive benefits (as described above) to the date of termination. Executive
acknowledges that, unless otherwise provided for in any bonus plan or other
incentive plan in which Executive may be entitled to participate, no bonus
with respect to any fiscal year shall be payable unless Executive shall have
been employed by the Company both at the end of such fiscal year and on the
date such bonus is otherwise paid to

                                       4

<Page>

other Executives of the Company. The Termination Payment shall be payable in
installments when and as the same would otherwise have been payable under the
terms hereof commencing promptly following the delivery of a general release
in favor of the Company and its affiliates.

      11.   TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL.

            (a)   "Change in Control" means:

                  (i)   With respect to the Parent, any of the following

                        B.    for the purposes of clause A, a Person shall be
deemed to have obtained control of the Parent if the Person and others acting

                  (ii) With respect to a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries

50% or more of the voting stock of the Company, whether in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions, or of all or more than 50%

of the Company.

                  (v) With respect to a business group or unit of Parent for

                        A.    any sale (or other transfer or disposition), of
50% or more of the voting stock of the Primary Group, whether in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions, or of all or more than 50%

                        B.    if the Parent shall otherwise cease to be the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting
stock or assets of the Primary Group or shall cease to control a majority of
the voting stock or assets of the Primary Group.

            (b) If the Company shall terminate Executive's employment without
Cause within twelve (12) months' following a Change in Control, instead of
the Termination Payment under Paragraph 10, Executive shall be entitled to
receive, as severance, damages and in exchange for a general release in favor
of the Company and its affiliates and the other promises made by Executive
hereunder, and as Executive's sole and exclusive right and remedy on account
of such termination, a Termination Payment equal to 12 months' Base Salary at
the then current rate. In such event, the Termination Payment shall be paid
in a lump sum concurrently with Executive's delivery of a general release in
favor of the Company and its affiliates. Executive shall also be entitled to
receive any approved unreimbursed business expenses and other Executive
benefits (as described above) to the date of termination. Any bonus with
respect to any fiscal year of the Company ended prior to such Change in

in Control occurs shall also be paid to Executive at the time it would
otherwise be payable as if Executive had remained employed by the Company
without a Change in Control.

      12.   TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON.

            (a) Executive may terminate Executive's employment with the
Company, and receive a Termination Payment as provided in this Paragraph upon
the happening of any of the following, which shall be considered "Good
Reason":

                  (i) upon at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of
his election to terminate his employment for Good Reason given within twelve
(12) months of a Change in Control, provided the Executive has remained an
employee of the acquiring Company and diligently carried out his job duties
for a period of at least ninety (90) day beyond the change in control;

                                        6

<Page>

                  (ii) the assignment of Executive without his consent to a
position having responsibilities or duties of a materially lesser status than
those contemplated by Paragraph 1 as they may be changed from time to time
with Executive's consent;

                  (iii) if Executive's place of business is relocated to a
distance of more than 100 miles from New Port Richey, Florida.

            (b) In the event Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason, Executive shall be entitled to a Termination Payment in the amount
and manner as provided in Paragraph 10 above; provided, however, that
Executive shall have a duty to seek employment and mitigate his damages.
Executive shall promptly advise the Company in the event that he secures
other employment and shall respond to the Company's inquiries from time to
time concerning his employment status. Compensation (in whatever form) earned
by Executive on account of other employment or otherwise for personal
services rendered during the unexpired period during which Termination
Payments are to be made (without regard to when such compensation is paid)
shall be offset against and applied in reduction of the Company's obligations
hereunder. Executive shall not otherwise be entitled to receive any further
compensation hereunder.

      13. NOTICES. Any notice required, permitted or desired to be given
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
been sufficiently given or served for all purposes if delivered in person or
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage and fees prepaid,
or by national overnight delivery prepaid service to the parties at their
addresses set forth above. Either of the parties hereto may at any time and
from time to time hereafter change the address to which notice shall be sent
hereunder by notice to the other party given under this Paragraph 13. The
date of the giving of any notice sent by mail shall be the date of the
posting of the mail, except that notice of an address change shall be deemed
given when received.

      14. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor the right to receive any
payments hereunder may be assigned by Executive. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that Executive remain employed pursuant to the provisions
hereof by any successor of the Company or the Primary Group, whether by
merger, consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially all of the
business or assets, or otherwise, and the Company shall have the right to
assign this Agreement to any such successor in interest. This Agreement shall
be binding upon Executive, his heirs, executors and administrators and upon
the Company, its successors and assigns.

      15. PATENTS AND OTHER PROPERTY. Any interests in trademarks, patents,
patent applications, inventions, developments and processes which Executive
may develop during the term of this Agreement relating to the fields in which
the Company or its affiliates may then be engaged, shall belong to the
Company and such affiliates. Executive agrees to execute any trademark
assignment or other instrument as the Company may deem reasonably necessary
to evidence, establish, maintain, protect, enforce and or defend any and all
of the Company's interests under this Paragraph 15. All such interests shall
vest in the Company, whether or not such instrument is requested, executed or
delivered. If Executive shall not so execute or deliver any such instrument
after reasonable opportunity to do so, the Company shall have the right to do
so in Executive's name, place and stead and the Company is hereby irrevocably
appointed as Executive's attorney-in-fact for such purpose, which power is
coupled with an interest.

      16.   EXECUTIVE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Executive represents
and warrants to the Company as follows:

            (a) Executive has the unfettered right to enter into this
Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and Executive
has not done or permitted to be done anything which may curtail or impair any
of the rights granted to the Company herein.

            (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
Executive nor the performance by Executive of any of Executive's obligations
hereunder constitute or will constitute a violation or breach of, or a
default under, any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or any other
restriction of any kind, to which Executive is a party or by which Executive
is bound.

      17. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to hold harmless and indemnify
Executive to the extent permitted by law against all damages and/or losses
which Executive may suffer as a result of any third party claim, action, suit
or proceeding to which he may become a party by reason of Executive's
services as, and/or for activities engaged in by Executive while Executive is
acting as an officer and/or Executive of the Company or any affiliate
thereof; provided, however, that no such indemnification shall be paid to the
extent any such damages or losses shall arise through the negligence, bad
faith or misconduct of Executive or the breach by Executive of any of
Executive's obligations under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the release of the Company and its
affiliates contemplated hereby.

      18. WAIVER. No course of dealing nor any delay on the part of either
party in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any
rights of such party. No waiver of any default or breach of this Agreement
shall be deemed a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other breach or
default.

      19.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to
agreements entered into and to be performed entirely therein.

      20. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any clause, paragraph, section or part of
this Agreement shall be held or declared to be void, invalid or illegal for
any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be
ineffective but shall not in any way invalidate or affect any other clause,
paragraph, section or part of this Agreement.

      21. MODIFICATIONS. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company
has not made nor is making, and in executing this Agreement Executive has not
relied upon, any representations, promises or inducements except to the
extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Agreement. This
Agreement shall not be altered or modified except in writing, duly executed
by the parties hereto.

      22. BINDING EFFECT. This document is not intended to constitute an
Agreement, commitment, or offer of employment binding upon the Company until
and unless executed on behalf of the Company, as provided below, and no
representative of the Company has authority to make any commitment or to give
any assurance to the contrary.
