Exhibit 10.25    
    

 
  CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT    
    

        This Change of Control Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into on April 30, 2003 by and between Paul Schwarzbaum, an individual (the "Officer"), and
MagneTek, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). 

RECITALS

        WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes that the possibility of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) exists and that the threat or the occurrence
of a Change of Control can result in significant distractions of its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; 

        WHEREAS,
the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to retain the services of the Officer in the event of a threat or
occurrence of a Change of Control and to ensure the Officer's continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for personal financial and employment security; and 

        WHEREAS,
in order to induce the Officer to remain in the employ of the Company, particularly in the event of a threat or the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company desires to
enter into this Agreement with the Officer to provide the Officer with certain benefits in the event his or her employment is terminated as a result of, or in connection with, a Change of Control. 

AGREEMENT

        NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby
agree as follows: 

        1.    Term of Agreement.    This Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall continue in effect until
December 31, 2005; provided, however, that on December 31, 2005 and on each anniversary
thereof, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one year unless either the Company or the Officer shall have given written notice to the other prior thereto that the term of
this Agreement shall not be so extended; provided, further,  however, that notwithstanding any such notice by
the Company or the Officer not to extend, the term of this Agreement shall not expire prior to the
second anniversary of a Change of Control Date. The benefits payable pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be due in all events if a Change of Control occurs during the term of this Agreement, and
a Change of Control will be deemed to have occurred during the term hereof if an agreement for a transaction resulting in a Change of Control is entered into during the term hereof, notwithstanding
that the Change of Control Date occurs after the expiration of the term of this Agreement. 

        2.    Benefits Upon Change of Control.    

        (a)    Events Giving Rise to Benefits.    The Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid to the Executive the benefits
specified in this Section 2 if (i) there is a Change of Control, and (ii) within the Change of Control Period, (a) the Company or the Successor terminates the employment of
the Executive for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability or (b) the Executive voluntarily terminates employment for Good Reason. 

        (b)    Benefits Upon Termination of Employment.    If the Executive is entitled to benefits pursuant to this
Section 2, the Company agrees to pay or provide to the Executive as severance payment, the following: 

        (i)    A
single lump sum payment, payable in cash within five days of the Termination Date (or if later, the Change of Control Date), equal to the sum of: 

        (A)  the
accrued portion of any of the Executive's unpaid base salary and vacation through the Termination Date and any unpaid portion of the Executive's bonus for the prior
fiscal year; plus 

        (B)  a
portion of the Executive's bonus for the fiscal year in progress, prorated based upon the number of days elapsed since the commencement of the fiscal year and
calculated assuming that 100% of the target under the bonus plan is achieved; plus 

        (C)  an
amount equal to the Executive's Base Compensation times the Compensation Multiplier. 

        (ii)   Continuation,
on the same basis as if the Executive continued to be employed by the Company, of Benefits for the Benefit Period commencing on the Termination Date. The
Company's obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing Benefits shall be limited to the extent that the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in
which case the Company may reduce the coverage of any Benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverage and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less
favorable to the Executive than the Benefits required to be provided hereunder. 

        (iii)  Outplacement
services to be provided by an outplacement organization of national repute, which shall include the provision of office space and equipment (including
telephone and personal computer) but in no event shall the Company be required to provide such services for a value exceeding 17% of the Executive's Base Compensation. 

        (iv)  Accelerated
vesting of all outstanding stock options and of all previously granted restricted stock awards.

event so defined in any stock incentive or similar plan adopted by the Company in the future unless, in either case, such event occurs in connection with a Distress Sale and (ii) any event
which results in the Board ceasing to have at least a majority of its members be "continuing directors." For this purpose, a "continuing director" means a director of the Company who held such

comparable or analogous provisions of state, local and foreign law. 

        "Compensation Multiplier" means 1.5.

public accountants shall have made a "going concern" qualification in their audit report (other than by reason of extraordinary occurrences, such as material litigation, not attributable to poor

        4.    Eligibility; Effect on Other Agreements and Plans.    

        (a)   In
the event the Executive is also a party to a Stay and Pay Agreement or severance agreement and becomes entitled to any payment thereunder, this Agreement shall be
null and void and the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any
benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Executive may have
under any other agreements with the Company. Amounts that are vested benefits or that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Company shall be payable in
accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 

        (b)    Plan Amendments.    The Company shall adopt such amendments to its employee benefit plans and insurance
policies, including, without limitation, the Plans, as are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement. If and to the extent any benefits under Section 2 are not paid or payable or
otherwise provided to the Executive or his or her dependents or beneficiaries under any such plan or policy (whether due to the terms of the plan or policy, the termination thereof, applicable law, or
otherwise), then the Company itself shall pay or provide for such benefits (including any gross-up needed to account for the less favorable tax treatment if the payments are made from the
Company and not from the Plans or other employee benefit plans). 

        5.    Golden Parachute Tax.    

        (a)   If
the Value (as hereinafter defined) attributable to the payments and benefits provided in Section 2 above, without regard to this Section 5 ("Agreement
Payments"), in combination with the Value attributable to other payments or benefits in the nature of compensation to or for the benefit of Executive (including but not limited to the value
attributable to accelerated vesting of options and, collectively with Agreement Payments, "Payments") would, but for this Section 5, constitute an "excess parachute payment" under Code
Section 280G, then Agreement Payments will be made to the Executive under Section 2 hereof only to the extent provided in this Section 5. If (i) the excess of the Value of
all Payments over the sum of all taxes (including but not limited to income and excise taxes under Code Section 4999) that would be payable by the Executive with respect to such Payments, is
equal to or greater than 110% of (ii) the excess of the greatest Value of all such Payments that could be paid to or for the benefit of the Executive and not result in an "excess parachute
payment" (the "Cap"), over the amount of taxes that would be payable by Executive thereon, then the full amount of Agreement Payments shall be paid to the Executive. Otherwise, Agreement Payments
shall be made only to the extent that such payments cause the Value of all Payments to equal the Cap. 

        (b)   For
purposes of this Section 5, the Company and the Executive hereby irrevocably appoint the persons who constituted the Compensation Committee of the Board
immediately prior to the Change of Control, or a three person panel named by a majority of them, as arbitrators (the "Arbitrators") to make all determinations required under this Section 5,
including but not limited to the Value of all Payments (and the components thereof) and the amount and nature of any reduction of Agreement Payments required by this Section 5. For purposes of
this Section 5, "Value" shall mean value as determined by the Arbitrators applying the valuation procedures and methodologies established pursuant to Code Section 280G, including any
non-binding interpretive guidance as the Arbitrators determine appropriate. The determinations of the Arbitrators shall be final and binding on both the Company and Executive, and their
successors, assignees, heirs and beneficiaries, for purposes of determining the amount payable under Section 2. All fees and expenses of the Arbitrators (including attorneys' and accountants'
fees) shall be borne by the Company. The arbitrators will be compensated, to the extent they are not then members of the Board's Compensation Committee, at the rates at which they would have been
compensated for their work as Committee members in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control Date. 

        6.    Employment At-Will.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Executive's
employment with the Company is not for any specified term and may be terminated by the Executive or by the Company at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, without liability except with
respect to the payments provided hereunder or as required by law or any other contract or employee benefit plan. 

        7.    General.    

        (a)    Entire Agreement.    This document constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive embodiment of the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties related to the 

subject
matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the parties, written or oral. 

        (b)    Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the Executive and the Company, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Executive may not assign any of his or her duties hereunder and he or she may not assign any of his or her
rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. 

        (c)    Amendments.    No amendments or other modifications to this Agreement may be made except by a writing signed by
both parties. No amendment or waiver of this Agreement requires the consent of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity not a party to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any third person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. 

        (d)    No Amounts Due.    The Executive acknowledges that no payments or benefits whatsoever shall become due
hereunder in the absence of a Change of Control. 

        (e)    No Mitigation Obligation.    The parties hereto expressly agree that the payment of the benefits by the Company
to the Executive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be liquidated damages, and that the Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other
obligation on the part of the Executive hereunder or otherwise except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b)(ii) and 4(a). 

        (f)    Changes to Benefits.    In the event that, within 90 days of the execution of this Agreement, the
Company enters into an agreement for a Change of Control in connection with a merger to be accounted for as a "pooling of interests," the Board will be entitled to modify or reduce the payments or
benefits due hereunder, or to abrogate this Agreement entirely, if and to the extent that Ernst & Young opines to the Board such measures are necessary in order to ensure that the proposed
merger will be accounted for as a "pooling of interests." The Board will have no such authority after such 90-day period and, in the event such merger does not eventuate or is ultimately
not accounted for as a "pooling of interests," this Agreement, with or without any action by the Board or the Executive, shall be automatically reinstated. 

        (g)    Choice of Law.    All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will
be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. 

        (h)    ERISA.    This Agreement is pursuant to the Company's severance plan for Executives (the "Plan") which is
unfunded and maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Plan constitutes an employee
welfare benefit plan ("Welfare Plan") within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Any payments pursuant to this Agreement
which could cause the Plan not to constitute a Welfare Plan shall be deemed instead to be made pursuant to a separate "employee pension benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA
as to which the applicable portions of the document constituting the Plan shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference. None of the benefits hereunder may be assigned in any way. 

        (i)    Representation.    The Executive acknowledges that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP has not represented the
Executive in connection with this Agreement and that she has had the opportunity to consult with counsel before executing this Agreement. 

        (j)    Mutual Non-Disparagement.    The Company and subsidiaries agree, and the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause its respective executive officers and directors to agree, that 

they
will not make or publish any statement critical of the Executive, or in any way adversely affecting or otherwise maligning the Executive's reputation. The Executive agrees that he or she will not
make or publish any statement critical of the Company, its affiliates and their respective executive officers and directors, or in any way adversely affecting or otherwise maligning the business or
reputation of the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and employees. 

        8.    Arbitration.    

        (a)   Except
as provided in Section 5 hereof, any disputes or claims arising out of or concerning the Executive's employment or termination by the Company, whether
arising under theories of liability or damages based upon contract, tort or statute, will be determined exclusively by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the employment
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, except as modified by this Agreement. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on both parties. Judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In recognition of the fact that resolution of any disputes or claims in the courts is rarely timely or cost effective for
either party, the Company and the Executive enter this mutual agreement to arbitrate in order to gain the benefits of a speedy, impartial and cost-effective dispute resolution procedure.
The parties further intend that the arbitration hereunder be conducted in as confidential a manner as is practicable under the
circumstances, and intend for the award to be confidential unless that confidentiality would frustrate the purpose of the arbitration or render the remedy awarded ineffective. 

        (b)   Any
arbitration will be held in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrator must be an attorney with substantial experience in employment matters, selected by the parties
alternately striking names from a list of five such persons provided by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) office located nearest to the place of employment, following a request by the party
seeking arbitration for a list of five such attorneys with substantial professional experience in employment matters. If either party fails to strike names from the list, the arbitrator will be
selected from the list by the other party. 

        (c)   Each
party will have the right to take the deposition of one individual and any expert witness designated by the other party. Each party will also have the right to
propound requests for production of documents to any party and the right to subpoena documents and witnesses for the arbitration. Additional discovery may be made only where the arbitrator selected so
orders upon a showing of substantial need. The arbitrator will have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and will apply the standards
governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

        (d)   The
Company and the Executive agree that they will attempt, and they intend that they and the arbitrator should use their best efforts in that attempt, to conclude the
arbitration proceeding and have a final decision from the arbitrator within 120 days from the date of selection of the arbitrator; provided,
however, that the arbitrator will be entitled to extend such 120-day period for one additional 120-day period. The arbitrator will deliver a written
award with respect to the dispute to each of the parties, who must promptly act in accordance therewith. 

        (e)   The
Company will pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in seeking to obtain or enforce any rights or benefits provided by this
Agreement, including all reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and expenses, accountants' fees and expenses, and court costs (if any) that may be incurred by the Executive in pursuing a claim for
payment of compensation or benefits or other right or entitlement under this Agreement, provided that the Executive is successful as to material issues,
resulting in an award of at least $50,000. In addition, the Company will pay without regard to the results of the arbitration all costs and fees not normally associated with a civil proceeding, such
as any fees charged by the arbitrator or any room rental charges. 

        (f)    In
a contractual claim under this Agreement, the arbitrator must act in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and applicable legal principles and
will have no authority to add, delete or modify any term or provision of this Agreement. In addition, the arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive damages under any circumstances unless
repudiating the arbitrator's authority to do so would cause this arbitration clause to be ruled ineffective under applicable law. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date it is last executed below by either party.

Exhibit 10.38    
    

 
 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT    
    

        THIS AGREEMENT is made as of December 30, 2002, among each of the stockholders of MXT Holdings, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the "Company"), each
and all of whom are listed on the Stockholders List attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively "Sellers" and individually a "Seller") and
Magnetek, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"). 

R E C I T A L S

        A.    Sellers
own all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, $.001 par value, and Class B Common Stock, $.001 par value (collectively, "Shares") of
the Company, which Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company is a holding company whose wholly owned subsidiary, Maxtec International
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Subsidiary") is engaged in the development, production, manufacture, marketing and sale of, and the provision of post-sale services with respect to,
radio-frequency remote controls for cranes, hoist/monorail systems, conveyors, locomotives and other material handling applications (the "Business") under the name "Telemotive Industrial Controls". 

        B.    Purchaser
desires to purchase all the outstanding Shares from Sellers and Sellers desire to sell such Shares to Purchaser, on the terms herein contained. 

A G R E E M E N T S

        Therefore,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

        1.    Agreement to Purchase and Sell Shares.    On the terms contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall purchase
from Sellers, and Sellers shall sell to Purchaser, all right, title and interest in and to the outstanding Shares, free and clear of any and all options, proxies, voting trusts, voting agreements,
judgments, pledges, charges, escrows, rights of first refusal or first offer, mortgages, indentures, claims, transfer restrictions, liens, equities, security interests and other encumbrances of every
kind and nature whatsoever, whether arising by agreement, operation of law or otherwise (collectively, "Claims"). 

        2.    Purchase Price.    Subject to Section 3 hereof, the aggregate purchase price of all of the Shares (the
"Purchase Price") shall be equal to: 

        (a)   four
million seven hundred thousand dollars ($4,700,000); plus 

        (b)   the
aggregate consolidated amount of cash on hand and in banks, cash-equivalents and marketable securities of the Company and the Subsidiary as reflected on
the Closing Balance Sheet (as herein defined) (collectively, "Cash Equivalents"); plus 

        (c)   to
the extent realized by the Company and the Subsidiary, the income Tax (as herein defined) savings to the Company and the Subsidiary (the "Tax Savings") resulting from
(v) the exercise of the Options (as herein defined), (w) the Decker Amount (as herein defined), and (x) the Dealy Amount (as herein defined), after deduction of the portion
thereof which is payable to Decker (as herein defined) under clause (y) of section 3 of the Termination Agreement dated December 30, 2002, between T.D. Decker ("Decker") and
Subsidiary (the "Decker Agreement"); minus 

        (d)   the
aggregate consolidated principal amount of, and accrued interest and prepayment penalties or breakage fees with respect to, all indebtedness of the Company and the
Subsidiaries for borrowed money, as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet ("Indebtedness"); minus 

        (e)   the
aggregate amount (the "Decker Amount") payable by the Subsidiary to Decker (before applicable withholdings) pursuant to the Decker Agreement;  provided, however, that the Decker Amount shall not include salary, bonus or vacation pay which are
accrued as of that date and will be reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet (as herein defined) and taken into account in the determination of Working Capital (as herein defined); minus 

        (f)    the
aggregate amount (the "Dealy Amount") payable by the Subsidiary to John Dealy ("Dealy") (before applicable withholdings) pursuant to that certain Termination
Agreement between the Subsidiary and Dealy, dated December 30, 2002; provided, however, that the
Dealy Amount shall not include salary, bonus or vacation pay which are accrued as of that date and will be reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet (as herein defined) and taken into account in the
determination of Working Capital (as herein defined). 

The
Purchase Price shall be allocated among Sellers as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, and shall be payable in the manner provided in
Section 6. The amounts of Indebtedness, the Decker Amount, and the Dealy Amount shall be payable as provided in Section 14(d). 

        3.    Working Capital Adjustment.    The Purchase Price will be (x) increased by an amount equal to the amount
by which the Working Capital of the Company and the Subsidiary and set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet is greater than $2,817,000, or (y) reduced by the amount by which $2,817,000 exceeds
the Working Capital, as the case may be. "Working Capital" shall mean the excess of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Subsidiary which are treated under those generally accepted
accounting principles which were applied by the Company and the Subsidiary in the preparation of the Financial Statements, as herein defined ("GAAP") as current assets (exclusive of Cash Equivalents)
over the consolidated liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary which are treated under GAAP as current liabilities (exclusive of Indebtedness) determined in the manner set forth below.  Exhibit C hereto reflects the methods which the parties intend will be employed in the computation of Working Capital, based upon the
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiary as of September 30, 2002. The "Working Capital Adjustment" will be the amount by which the Purchase Price is increased or decreased
pursuant to this Section 3. 

        4.    Determination of Cash Equivalents, Indebtedness and Working Capital.    The amounts of Cash Equivalents,
Indebtedness, Working Capital, and the Working Capital Adjustment, shall each be determined from a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiary as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business
Day, as herein defined, immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet"). As used herein, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which
banks in Chicago Illinois or Los Angeles, California are required or authorized by law to close. The Closing Balance Sheet and the corresponding determination of Working Capital shall each be prepared
by the Stockholders' Committee (as herein defined). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, and otherwise in accordance with GAAP.
Notwithstanding, or without limitation, as the case may be, of the foregoing: (i) reserves and accruals shall be determined as if the date of the Closing Balance Sheet was the last day of the
Company's fiscal year; (ii) inventories shall be valued, using the first in, first out method of accounting, at the lower of cost or net realizable value;  provided, however, that the Wenglor laser heads ("Wenglor Heads") shall be valued at cost;
(iii) proceeds from the exercise of Options (as herein defined), to the extent not paid in cash by the holders of Options to the Company as of the date of the Closing Balance Sheet, shall be
reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet as a Cash Equivalent; (iv) the accrual for Taxes shall exclude the effect of the Tax Savings; (v) Tax refund receivables in existence on the
Closing Date (which shall not include the Tax Savings) shall be treated as current assets; (vi) the current portion of, and accrued interest in respect of Indebtedness shall be excluded;
(vii) there shall be no accruals in respect of (v) the Options, (w) the Dealy Amount, or (x) the Decker Amount; (viii) capitalized software development costs shall
be accounted for consistent with the Financial Statements; and (ix) the Working Capital calculation shall include (w) as a current liability, any amount payable on or after the Closing
Date in respect of goods or services supplied to the 

Company
before the Closing Date (even if no invoice for such amount has been received by the Company or the Subsidiary before the Closing Date), (x) as a current asset, any inventory in transit
to the Company or the Subsidiary, and any inventory in their possession on the Closing Date for which the Company or the Subsidiary has not received an invoice as of the Closing Date, and
(y) as an account receivable, any sale of inventory which has been shipped by the Company or the Subsidiary before the Closing Date but not invoiced until on or after the Closing Date. Subject
to Purchaser's compliance with the following sentence, the Stockholders' Committee shall cause the Closing Balance Sheet to be delivered to Purchaser not more than sixty (60) days following the
Closing Date (the date on which the Closing Balance Sheet has been delivered, the "Delivery Date"). Purchaser shall make available to the Stockholders' Committee, during normal business hours, the
books, records and personnel of the Company and the Subsidiary which the Stockholders' Committee reasonably requires in order to prepare and deliver the Closing Balance Sheet. 

        5.    Disputes Regarding Closing Balance Sheet.    Disputes with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet shall be
resolved as follows: 

        (a)   Purchaser
shall have thirty (30) days after the Delivery Date (the "Dispute Period") to dispute (i) any of the elements of or amounts reflected on the
Closing Balance Sheet and affecting the calculation of the Purchase Price and/or (ii) the calculation of the Purchase Price (a "Dispute"). If Purchaser does not give written notice of a Dispute
within the Dispute Period to Seller (a "Dispute Notice"), the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by Purchaser in the form in which it was delivered to Purchaser,
and shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. If Purchaser has a
Dispute, Purchaser shall give the Stockholders' Committee a Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, setting forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which it disagrees. Within thirty
(30) days after delivery of such Dispute Notice, the parties hereto shall attempt to resolve such Dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the disputed Closing Balance Sheet. 

        (b)   If
Purchaser and the Stockholders' Committee are unable to resolve any Dispute within the thirty (30) day period after the Stockholders' Committee's receipt of a
Dispute Notice, the Stockholders' Committee and Purchaser shall jointly engage as arbitrator (the "Arbitrating Accountant") a public accounting firm of national reputation, other than
Deloitte & Touche LLP. If Purchaser and the Stockholders' Committee are unable to agree on the appointment of the Arbitrating Accountant, the Arbitrating Accountant shall be selected by
agreement of the Stockholders' Committee's and Purchaser's respective accountants. In connection with the resolution of any Dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall have access to all documents,
records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. The Arbitrating Accountant's function shall be to conform the disputed elements or amounts set forth on
the Closing Balance Sheet to the requirements of Sections 3 and 4 (as applicable). 

        (c)   The
Arbitrating Accountant shall allow Purchaser and the Stockholders' Committee to present their respective positions regarding the Dispute and shall thereafter as
promptly as possible provide Purchaser and the Stockholders' Committee with a written determination of the Dispute, which shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. In this regard, for each
particular Dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall select either Purchaser's or the Stockholders' Committee's determination of the amount that is the subject of the Dispute based on its own
assessment of whichever of the two parties' determinations more closely approximates the Arbitrating Accountant's own determination of such amount, and the Arbitrating Accountant may not substitute
its own determination of the amount in dispute as the final determination of such amount. Upon the resolution of all Disputes, the Closing Balance Sheet shall be revised to reflect such resolution.
The Arbitrating Accountant shall promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of its appointment, render its decision on the question in writing and finalize the
Closing Balance Sheet. The 

Arbitrating
Accountant may, at its, discretion, conduct a conference concerning the Dispute, at which conference each party shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other
information and to have present its advisors, counsel and accountants. In connection with such process, there shall be no other hearings or any oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or
other similar proceedings. 

        (d)   The
party whose position in any Dispute is not accepted by the Arbitrating Accountant (in favor of the other party's position) shall bear all of the fees and expenses of
the arbitration proceeding. Where more than one Dispute is considered in such arbitration proceeding and the Arbitrating Accountant finds in favor of each party on separate Disputes, the party which,
in aggregating all of such Disputes, has the largest dollar amount determined against it by the Arbitrating Accountant (in favor of the other party) shall bear all of the fees and expenses of the
arbitration proceeding. The Arbitrating Accountant may, in its discretion, also award to the party obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the preceding
sentence the reasonable fees and expenses of the other
party's legal, accounting and other professional advisors incurred in connection with such Dispute if it determines that such party's positions in connection with the Dispute were not taken in good
faith. 

        6.    Manner of Payment of Purchase Price.    The Purchase Price shall be paid or satisfied as follows: 

        (a)   For
purposes of the Closing, the parties have made a good-faith estimate of the Purchase Price, exclusive of the Tax Savings (the "Closing Estimate"), in the
amount of $2,624,555.86, based upon the most recent ascertainable financial information of the Company and the Subsidiary. At the Closing: 

        (i)    Purchaser
shall pay to Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as escrowee (the "Escrowee"), for the account of the Stockholders' Committee, the sum of $1,000,000 (the "Escrow
Deposit"), to be held by the Escrowee pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, an Escrow Agreement with Escrowee, in the form attached hereto as  Exhibit D (the "Escrow Agreement"); and

        (ii)   Purchaser
shall pay the balance of the Closing Estimate to or as directed by the Stockholders' Committee, for the benefit of Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Stockholders' Committee, made to such bank account as the Stockholders' Committee shall specify by written notice to Purchaser delivered before the Closing Date. 

        (b)   Any
increase in the Purchase Price over the Closing Estimate resulting from the finalization of the Closing Balance Sheet and the final determinations of the components
of the Purchase Price (exclusive of the Tax Savings) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Purchaser within two Business Days following the final determination of the
Purchase Price. Any decrease in the Purchase Price below the Closing Estimate resulting from the finalization of the Closing Balance Sheet and the final determinations of the components of the
Purchase Price (exclusive of the Tax Savings) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Stockholders' Committee within two Business Days following the final determination of
the Purchase Price. 

        (c)   Within
five Business Days following the receipt of a federal income Tax refund which reflects the effects of the Tax Savings as a result of the filing of a federal
income Tax return for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 14(e), Purchaser shall pay to the Stockholders' Committee 95% of the aggregate Tax Savings and to
Decker 5% of the aggregate Tax Savings; provided, however, that if for any reason the Company is not
allowed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to carry back the deductions resulting in the Tax Savings, there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of the Tax Savings. 

        (d)   Section 14(d)
hereof deals with the manner of payment of the Decker Amount, the Dealy Amount and Indebtedness. 

        7.    Time and Place of Closing.    The transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated (the
"Closing") at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of Altheimer & Gray, 10 South Wacker, Suite 4000, Chicago, Illinois 60606 on the date hereof (the "Closing Date").

ERISA Affiliate has failed to make any contributions or to pay any amounts (including employee deferrals) due and owing as required by the terms of any Benefit Plan, collective bargaining agreement,

the Subsidiary is defective or unsafe or fails to meet any standards promulgated by such governmental authority, or has received written notice of any recall, warning or notice ordered by any such
governmental authority, nor, to Sellers' knowledge, is there any valid basis for notice of any such action. 

        (ee)    Compliance With Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Export Control and Anti-Boycott Laws.    

        (i)    Neither
the Company nor the Subsidiary has, and no Seller has on the Company's or the Subsidiary's behalf, to obtain, facilitate or retain business, directly or
indirectly, offered, paid or promised to pay, or authorized the payment of, any money or other thing of value (including any fee, gift, sample, travel expense or entertainment with a value in excess
of $100 in the aggregate to any one Person in any year) or any commission payment in excess of ten percent (10%) of any amount payable, to (i) any Person who is an official, officer, agent,
employee or representative of any domestic or foreign governmental authority or of any existing or prospective customer (whether government or non-government owned), (ii) any
political party or official thereof, (iii) any candidate for political or political party office, or (iv) any other Person, while knowing or having reason to believe that all or any
portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given, or promised, directly or indirectly, to any such official, officer, agent, employee, representative, political party, political party
official, candidate, individual, or any entity affiliated with such customer, political party or official or political office. 

        (ii)   To
Sellers' knowledge, neither the Company nor the Subsidiary, nor any director, officer, employee, consultant, agent or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or
the Subsidiary has accepted or received any unlawful contribution, payment, gift or expenditure in connection with the conduct of the Business or any other affairs of the Company or the Subsidiary. 

        (iii)  The
Company and the Subsidiary have at all times been and acted in compliance with all applicable laws relating to export control and trade embargoes. No product or
service sold or provided by the Company or the Subsidiary since January 1, 1998 has been, directly or indirectly, sold to or performed on behalf of any country identified by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury during such period as being subject to trade sanctions or embargoes, including, without limitation, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Libya or
North Korea. 

        (iv)  Neither
the Company nor the Subsidiary has violated the anti-boycott prohibitions contained in 50 U.S.C. sect. 2401 et seq. or taken any action that can be
penalized under Section 999 of the Code. Since January 1, 1998, neither the Company nor the Subsidiary has been a party to, or a beneficiary under, any agreement with, or sold or
delivered any product or service to, any customer in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates or the Republic of Yemen. 

        (ff)    Brokers.    With the exception of BMO Nesbitt Burns, Inc., neither Sellers, nor any of their
Affiliates, nor the Company nor the Subsidiary, have dealt with any Person who is entitled to a broker's commission, finder's fee, investment banker's fee, expense reimbursement or similar payment
from Purchaser, the Company or the Subsidiary for arranging the transaction contemplated hereby or introducing the parties to each other. 

        (gg)    Telemotive Brazil.    The representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (b) through (ff) and
paragraph (hh) of this Section 9 are true and correct in all respects with regard to Telemotive Industrial Controls do Brasil Llda. ("TIC Brazil"), as if each applicable reference (express or
implied) to the Company and/or the Subsidiary in each such paragraph included an additional reference to TIC Brazil, except to the extent of any particular representation and warranty that provides
information specific only to the Company or the Subsidiary (e.g., the provisions of paragraph (g) regarding the Company's outstanding capital stock). TIC Brazil was officially formed on
December 20, 2002, and has only commenced to engage in business since that date, and none of TIC Brazil, the Subsidiary or the Company has any liability or obligation with respect to any action
or circumstance or on behalf of any other Person arising, accruing or existing before the date of TIC Brazil's formation. 

        (hh)    Accuracy of Representations.    No representation, warranty, statement, schedule or information furnished by
Sellers to Purchaser in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. 

        10.    Individual Representations and Warranties of Sellers.    Each of the Sellers, individually, represents and
warrants to Purchaser as follows: 

        (a)    Power and Authority.    Such Seller has full power and authority to execute and perform this Agreement. 

        (b)    Seller Entities.    If such Seller is a corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust or
entity (a "Seller Entity"), such Seller Entity is duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such Seller Entity and the performance by it of all of its obligations under this Agreement have been duly authorized prior to the date of this Agreement by all requisite action of its
board of directors, general partners, managers, trustees or the like, as the case may be. The approval of such Seller Entity's shareholders, limited partners, members, beneficiaries or the like (as
the case may be), for it to execute this Agreement and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby is either not required or has been duly given. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by it. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Seller Entity, nor the consummation by such Seller Entity of the transaction contemplated hereby will conflict with or constitute a
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of its Certificate or Articles of Incorporation, by-laws, Agreement of Limited Partnership, operating agreement, trust agreement or
declaration of trust, or other organizational documents, as the case may be. 

        (c)    Conflicts.    Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Seller, nor the consummation by him
or it of the transaction contemplated hereby will conflict with or constitute a breach of any of
the terms, conditions or provisions of any statute or administrative regulation, or of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental authority or of any arbitration
award, to which such Seller is a party or by which such Seller is bound. Such Seller is not a party to, or bound by, any unexpired, undischarged or unsatisfied Contract, under the terms of which the
execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby by such Seller will require a consent, approval, or notice or will
result in a breach, lapse, cancellation, right to terminate, default or acceleration of any right or obligation or result in a lien on the Shares owned by such Seller. 

        (d)    Solvency.    Such Seller is not insolvent, nor has such Seller proposed a compromise or arrangement to his or
its creditors generally, filed a petition in bankruptcy, had any petition in bankruptcy filed against him or it, or filed a petition or undertaken any other action or proceeding to be declared
bankrupt. The transaction contemplated by this Agreement will not cause such Seller to become insolvent or to be unable to satisfy and pay his or its debts and obligations generally as they come due. 

        (e)    Enforceability.    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Seller and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding agreement of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms. 

        (f)    Ownership.    Such Seller owns full legal and beneficial title to the number of Shares listed opposite such
Seller's name on Exhibit A, free and clear of all Claims, other than agreements between the Company and such Seller which will be terminated as
of the Closing. 

        11.    Limitation on Warranties.    Except as expressly set forth in Sections 9 and 10, Sellers make no express or
implied warranty of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, any representation as to physical condition or value of any of the assets of the Company or the Subsidiary or the future
profitability or future earnings performance of the Company or the 

Subsidiary.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. 

        12.    Definition of Knowledge.    For the purposes of this Agreement, the knowledge of Sellers shall be deemed to be
limited to the knowledge as of the Closing Date which any of Sellers and/or Decker, Mark Ecton, Fernando Bello, Robert Beckmann, Dealy, John Downey, Robert Patterson and Charles M. Allen, actually
have or should reasonably be expected to have after conducting the sort of reasonable investigations and inquires into the financial, operational, business, legal and other affairs of the Company and
the Subsidiary that a reasonable and prudent person would conduct in support of giving the representations and warranties set forth in Section 9 hereof. 

        13.    Closing.    At the Closing:

by-laws, Agreement of Limited Partnership, operating agreement, trust agreement or declaration of trust, or other organizational documents, a copy, certified by a senior officer (or
equivalent) of such Seller, of the resolution of the shareholders, limited partners, members, beneficiaries or the like (as the case may be) giving such approval;

        (c)   Sellers,
either directly or through the Stockholders' Committee, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall deliver such incumbency certificates and other
documents and instruments, and do such other acts and things, as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby. 

        14.    Post-Closing Agreements.    From and after the Closing: 

        (a)    Inspection of Records.    Purchaser shall make the books and records (including work papers in the possession
of their respective accountants, if permitted by such accountants) of the Company and the Subsidiary available for inspection by the Stockholders' Committee, or by its duly accredited representatives,
at reasonable times during normal business hours, for a seven (7) year period after the Closing Date, with respect to all transactions of the Company and the Subsidiary occurring prior to
and/or relating to the Closing, and the historical (i.e., pre-Closing) financial condition, assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of the Company and the Subsidiary, provided that
the Stockholders' Committee (or its representatives) may only have such access and may only use such books and records for (i) accounting and Tax reporting matters (including responding to
inquiries or audits of any Taxing Authority), or (ii) defending or prosecuting litigation relating to the Company, the Subsidiary or the Business to which one or more Sellers is a party. As
used in this Section 14(a), the right of inspection includes the right to make extracts or copies. 

        (b)    Agreement to Defend and Indemnify.    

        (i)    Purchaser
shall cause the Company and the Subsidiary to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, officer, employee and agent of the Company and each
present or former director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Benefit Plan (individually, an "Indemnified Employee," and collectively, the "Indemnified Employees") against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (any of which, an "Indemnified Employee Liability"), arising out of or pertaining
to any action or omission occurring prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any which arise out of or relate to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement), whether asserted or
commenced prior to or after the Closing Date, to the full extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law (in the case of indemnification by the Subsidiary) and the Illinois Business
Corporation Act of 1983 (in the case of indemnification by the Company), as such rights to indemnification may be expanded subsequent to the Closing Date under said laws, but subject to the terms of,
and limitations set forth in, the Company's and the Subsidiary's respective Certificate or Articles of Incorporation and by-laws as currently in effect on the date hereof. Purchaser
acknowledges and accepts as contract rights (and agrees to cause the Company and the Subsidiary to honor in accordance with their terms) the provisions of the Company's and the Subsidiary's respective
Certificate or Articles of Incorporation and/or by-laws as in effect on the date hereof with respect to indemnification of Indemnified Employees (including provisions relating to
contributions, advancement of expenses and the like) and agrees that such provisions shall not be modified or amended except as required by law, unless such modification or amendment expands the
rights of the Indemnified Employees to indemnification (including with respect to contribution, advancement of expenses and the like). Purchaser shall cause the Company or the Subsidiary to advance
expenses (including attorneys' fees) to each such Indemnified Employee to the full extent permitted by law in effect from time to time, subject to the terms of, and limitations set forth in, the
Company's and the Subsidiary's respective Certificate or Articles of Incorporation and/or by-laws as in effect on the date hereof. 

        (ii)   Notwithstanding
anything set forth in subparagraph (b)(i) above, Purchaser shall not be required to cause the Company or the Subsidiary, and neither the Company
nor the Subsidiary shall be required, to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Employee in respect of any Indemnified Employee Liability where the act or omission of the applicable Indemnified
Employee in respect of which such Indemnified Employee Liability arose would be direct grounds, or could reasonably lead to an event constituting grounds, for indemnification by Sellers pursuant to
any provision of Section 15, notwithstanding the expiration of any applicable time period for the making of a claim for such indemnification. 

        (iii)  Each
Seller, for itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns (as applicable), hereby waives,
releases, remises and forever discharges the Company, the Subsidiary and each Indemnified Employee (collectively, the "Seller
Releasees") from and against any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which such Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any heir, executor, personal representative, successor or assign thereof now has, has ever had or may hereafter
have against the respective Seller Releasees (or any of them) arising prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter, cause, event or circumstance occurring prior to the
Closing Date; provided, however, that such release shall have no effect with respect to any right of such Seller to indemnification or reimbursement from the Company or the Subsidiary, whether
pursuant to the respective organizational documents of the Company or the Subsidiary, any contract or otherwise and whether or not relating to claims pending on or before, or asserted after, the
Closing Date. 

        (c)    Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.    In consideration of the benefits
of this Agreement to Sellers and in order to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each of the Sellers, other than the Mass Mutual Entities, hereby individually covenants and agrees as
follows: 

        (i)    from
and after the Closing and until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (except that (A) if such time period is determined or declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, invalid, contrary to public policy, void or voidable under any applicable law, and (B) if required by such court of competent jurisdiction
in order for this subparagraph (i) to remain valid and enforceable against such Seller, such time period shall be reduced to expire on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or if required
by such court of competent jurisdiction in order for this subparagraph (i) to remain valid and enforceable against such Seller, such time period shall be reduced to expire on the first
anniversary of the Closing Date), such Seller shall not, nor shall it cause any Person (including, without limitation, any Affiliate or any director, officer, employee or agent of such Seller or any
such Affiliate) to, directly or indirectly, as a partner, stockholder, proprietor, director, officer, manager, member, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity: 

        (A)  engage
in, own, manage, operate or control, provide consulting services to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of or provision of
consulting services to, any business or entity which engages anywhere in North America (except that (1) if such geographic scope is determined or declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be illegal, unenforceable, invalid, contrary to public policy, void or voidable under any applicable law, and (2) if required by such court of competent jurisdiction in order for this
subparagraph (A) to remain valid and enforceable against such Seller, such geographic scope shall be reduced to the United States of America, or if required by such court of competent
jurisdiction in order for this subparagraph (A) to remain valid and enforceable against such Seller, such geographic scope shall be reduced to the State of Illinois, or if required by such 

court
of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator in order for this subparagraph (A) to remain valid and enforceable against such Seller, such geographic scope shall be reduced to a range of fifty
(50) miles around the city limits of Glendale Heights, Illinois, in any business which competes with the Business; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall prohibit such Seller and its Affiliates from owning, in the aggregate, not more than five percent (5%) of any class of securities of a publicly traded entity in any of the
foregoing lines of business so long as neither such Seller nor any of its Affiliates participates in any way in the management, operation or control of such entity; and 

        (B)  hire
or solicit to perform services (as an officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) any Persons who are or, within the six (6) month period immediately
preceding such Seller's or such Affiliates action were, employees of the Company or either Subsidiary or take any actions which are intended to persuade any employee of the Company or either
Subsidiary to terminate his or her association with the Company or either Subsidiary; provided, however,
that (x) general solicitations of employment published in a journal, newspaper or other publication of general circulation or listed on any internet job site and not specifically directed
towards such employees shall not be deemed to constitute solicitation for purposes of this subparagraph (B) and (y) this subparagraph shall not apply with respect to the hiring or
solicitation of employment of Decker or Dealy by any such Seller (but, in such event, subject to the noncompetition provisions of paragraph (A) above and the Dealy Agreement (in the case of
Dealy) and the noncompetition provisions of the Decker Agreement (in the case of Decker); or 

        (C)  call
on or solicit for purposes of diverting or taking away from the Company or the Subsidiary any Person that is a customer of or material supplier to the Company or
the Subsidiary, or who was actively solicited as a potential customer of the Company or the Subsidiary during the one year period ending on the Closing Date, for the sale or purchase of products or
services of the type then supplied by the Business, or induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensor, licensee or other Person to cease conducting business with the Company or the
Subsidiary or in any way intentionally interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensor, licensee or other Person and the Company or the Subsidiary; and 

        (ii)   from
and after the Closing, such Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents to, keep confidential and not
disclose to any other Person or use for their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person (other than as permitted by paragraph (a)), any information regarding the Company, the Subsidiary or
the Business. The obligation of such Seller
under this subparagraph (ii) shall not apply to information which (i) such Seller can demonstrate is generally known to the public other than as a result of the breach of this Agreement
or any other agreement pursuant to which such Seller or any other Person owes any duty of confidentiality to the Company, the Subsidiary or Purchaser; or (ii) is required to be disclosed by
law, order or regulation of a court or tribunal or government authority; provided, however, that in any such case, such Seller shall notify Purchaser as
early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow Purchaser to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information. 

        (iii)  Such
Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 14(c) are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Purchaser, (B) Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement without such Seller providing the covenants contained in
subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 14(c), (C) the violation of any covenant contained in such subparagraphs would result in irreparable injury to Purchaser (direct
or indirect), the 

exact
amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate, and (D) the remedies at law for any such violation would not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Purchaser for such a
violation. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Seller agrees that if it violates any covenant or agreement given or made by it under subparagraph (i) or
(ii) of this Section 14(c), then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to Purchaser at law or in equity (including, without limitation, indemnification under
Section 15), Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief in addition to all other legal and equitable rights and remedies, which Purchaser may seek to obtain
through any court of competent jurisdiction. 

        (d)    Payment of Decker Amount, Dealy Amount and Indebtedness.    Purchaser shall cause the Subsidiary to pay the
Decker Amount and the Dealy Amount at the time set forth, and in the manner provided, in the Decker Agreement and the Dealy Agreement, respectively. The Decker Amount and the Dealy Amount shall each
be subject to Tax withholding as required by law. Purchaser shall cause the Subsidiary to pay the Indebtedness in full on the Closing Date. 

        (e)    Income Tax Matters.    This paragraph(e) shall apply for the purposes of United States federal income Tax law.
To the extent permitted by law, the principles of this paragraph (e) shall also apply for the purposes of state, local, foreign and other income Tax laws. The parties shall take all steps, and
do all acts and things, as are or may be necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions and effectuate the purposes and intents of this paragraph (e): Accordingly, the parties agree as
follows: 

        (i)    the
taxable year of the Company and the Subsidiary shall end on the Closing Date at the end thereof. Pursuant to 26 C.F.R. ("Reg.")
§1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)(4), Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (the next day rule) shall not be applicable to the payment of the estimated Decker Amount, the
payment of the Dealy Amount and the exercise of the Options, all of which the parties agree are prearranged transactions; rather, the deductions therefor shall be reported, to the extent allowable, in
the taxable year of the Company and the Subsidiary ending on the Closing Date; 

        (ii)   except
as contemplated by this Agreement, there shall be no transactions on the Closing Date after the Closing, except in the ordinary course of business; 

        (iii)  the
items in the taxable year of the Company and/or the Subsidiary ending on the Closing Date shall be determined under a
closing-of-the-books method, and no ratable or other yearly, monthly or other elective allocation method under Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(2) or
otherwise straddling the close of such taxable year shall apply; 

        (iv)  for
all taxable years of the Company and the Subsidiary ending on or before, or including, the Closing Date, the Company and the Subsidiary shall file all Returns
(which have not been filed on or prior to the Closing Date) and pay all income Taxes (which have not been paid on or prior to the Closing Date) as required by and in accordance with law. Purchaser
shall cause the Company and the Subsidiary to vest in the Stockholders' Committee the primary authority to act on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiary with respect to the filing of such Returns,
the payment of such Taxes, and the dealing with taxing authorities with respect thereto and with respect to all matters relating to such taxable years (including Tax refunds) and shall provide to the
Stockholders' Committee such resources, and such use of the services of personnel, as are required or reasonably appropriate with respect to the foregoing and shall so provide the same in a timely
manner and in sufficient amounts; provided, however, that Purchaser's independent public accountants shall be kept fully informed with respect to all
matters relating to the preparing and filing of such Returns and such dealings with Taxing Authorities, and the Stockholders' Committee shall not take any action that, in the reasonable opinion of
Purchaser's accountants, shall be contrary to any Laws or that is reasonably likely to 

adversely
affect the Company and the Subsidiary (taken as a whole) without the prior consent of Purchaser (which shall not unreasonably be withheld). 

        (f)    Edson Partners II, L.P.    For a period of two years following the Closing Date, Edson Partners II, L.P.
("Edson II"), one of the Sellers, individually agrees that (x) it will not dissolve, and (y) that it will retain funds which (when taken together with its share of the Escrow Deposit and
the holdback by the Stockholders' Committee referred to in Section 20(d)) will be sufficient to enable it to satisfy any liability it may have to Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnitees
hereunder. 

        (g)    Wenglor Heads.    To the extent the Wenglor Heads shall not have been sold in their entirety, or all or some
shall have been sold for less than the cost thereof, during the period running from the date hereof through the date which is eighteen months following the Closing Date, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser
(x) with respect to Wenglor Heads which have been sold, the aggregate amount (if any) by which the cost of such Wenglor Heads exceeds the sales proceeds thereof; plus (y) the aggregate
cost of all then unsold Wenglor Heads. 

        (h)    Further Assurances.    The parties shall execute such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may
be necessary to transfer and convey the Shares to Purchaser, on the terms herein contained, and to otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. 

        15.    Sellers' Indemnification Obligations.    Subject to the provisions of Section 16, Sellers shall
indemnify, save and keep Purchaser, its Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a "Purchaser Indemnitee" and collectively, the
"Purchaser Indemnitees") harmless against and from all Damages (as herein defined) sustained or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, as herein defined),
as a result of or arising out of or by virtue of: 

        (a)   any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by Sellers to Purchaser herein or in any closing document delivered to Purchaser in connection
herewith; provided, however, that in the case of an inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 10,
only the Seller whose representation and warranty was inaccurate or breached shall have an obligation of indemnification under this Section 15(a); 

        (b)   the
breach by any Seller or the Stockholders' Committee of, or failure of any Seller or the Stockholders' Committee to comply with any of the covenants or obligations
under this Agreement to be performed by Sellers or the Stockholders' Committee; provided, however, that in the case of a breach of Section 14(c),
only the Seller in breach of such section shall have an obligation of indemnification under this Section 15(b); 

        (c)   any
liability of Purchaser, the Company or either Subsidiary for the payment of any Tax accrued and unpaid for any period up to and including the date immediately
preceding the Closing Date, regardless of whether or not there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement (including the Disclosure
Schedule) with respect to such matters; 

        (d)   any
liability with respect to environmental health and safety arising (before, on or after the Closing Date) out of or relating to (i) the ownership or operation
by the Company or the Subsidiary at any time prior to the Closing Date of any property (whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible) or of any business of the Company or the
Subsidiary, or (ii) any Hazardous Substances that were, or allegedly were, at any time before the Closing Date, present on, at or in any such property of the Company or the Subsidiary by reason
of the acts or omissions of the Company or the Subsidiary, or otherwise handled by the Company or the Subsidiary or any other Person for whose conduct the Company or the Subsidiary are or may be held
responsible, regardless of whether or not there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) with
respect to such matters; 

        (e)   any
bodily injury (including illness, disability or death, and regardless of when any such bodily injury occurred, was incurred or manifested itself), personal injury,
property damage (including trespass, nuisance, wrongful eviction, and deprivation of the use of real property) or other damage of or to any Person, including any employee or former employee of the
Company or the Subsidiary or any other Person for whose conduct the Company or either Subsidiary are or may be held responsible, in any way arising from or allegedly arising from any Hazardous

reason of the acts or omissions of the Company or the Subsidiary, or (ii) Released or allegedly Released by the Company or the Subsidiary from any such property at any time prior to the Closing

        (f)    any
indemnification claim either made or pending against the Company or the Subsidiary by any Indemnified Employee on or after the Closing Date in respect of an
Indemnified Employee Liability where the act or omission of such Indemnified Employee in respect of which such Indemnified Employee Liability arose would be direct grounds, or could reasonably lead to
an event constituting grounds, for indemnification by Sellers pursuant to any other provision of this Section 15, notwithstanding the expiration of any applicable time period for the making of
a claim for such indemnification; 

        (g)   any
liability in respect of or in connection with (i) the business, assets, liabilities or operations of the Subsidiary's former B + K Precision
Products division, or (ii) the 1996 sale by the Subsidiary to G.E.M. Illinois, Inc. of the assets and business of such division, including, without limitation, any indemnity given by the
Subsidiary to G.E.M. Illinois, Inc. in connection with such sale; 

        (h)   any
product or component thereof manufactured by or shipped, or any service provided by, the Company or the Subsidiary, in whole or in part, prior to the Closing Date,
including, without limitation the direct costs (i.e., material, labor and freight out) incurred by the Company in honoring any warranty claim with respect thereto that is not covered by the warranty
reserve taken by the Company or the Subsidiary in the Closing Balance Sheet and taken into account in the computation of Working Capital and further including, without limitation, any claim or action
referred to in Section 9(dd) of the Disclosure Schedule where the Damages arising therefrom or related thereto exceed the reserve (if any) taken by the Company or the Subsidiary on the Closing
Balance Sheet and taken into account in the Computation of Working Capital, in any such case, regardless of whether or not there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty
made by Sellers in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) with respect to such matters; and/or 

        (i)    any
liability for Company or Subsidiary employee-related claims arising out of the wrongful or unlawful conduct of the Company or the Subsidiary, where such liability
arose or accrued prior to the Closing Date or, in any case where a claim is first made or a liability first accrues on or after the Closing Date, where the factual circumstances giving rise to such
claim or liability occurred prior to the Closing Date, regardless of whether or not there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement
(including the Disclosure Schedule) with respect to such matters. 

As
used in this Agreement, (x) the term "Damages" shall mean all liabilities, demands, claims, actions or causes of action, regulatory, legislative or judicial proceedings or investigations,
assessments, levies, losses, fines, penalties, damages, amounts paid in settlement of Third Party Claims, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys', accountants', investigators', and
experts' fees and expenses, sustained or incurred in connection with the defense or investigation of any claim, and (y) "Third-Party Claim" shall mean any claim, complaint, action or
proceeding made or undertaken against the Company, the Subsidiary, any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee by a Person that is not a Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee. 

        16.    Limitation on Sellers' Indemnification Obligations.    Sellers' obligations pursuant to the provisions of
Section 15 are subject to the following limitations: 

        (a)   the
Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Sections 15(a), (c), (d), (e), (g), or (i) until the total amount which the Purchaser Indemnitees
would recover under such Sections, but for this Section 16(a), exceeds $50,000 (the "Deductible"), and then the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover only for the excess over the
Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the sole purpose of determining whether the Deductible has been satisfied, all references in Section 9 to materiality or Material Adverse Effect
shall be disregarded; 

        (b)   the
Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover pursuant to Sections 15(a) with respect to a breach of or inaccuracy in any of Sections 9(h), (i), (y), (z),
(aa) or (ee) unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the details of the alleged misrepresentation or breach of warranty or claim for indemnification under such section,
delivered to the Stockholders' Committee on or prior to the expiration of 18 full calendar months following the Closing Date. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover
(x) pursuant to Section 15(a) with respect to the remaining paragraphs of Section 9 (other than with respect to a breach of any of Sections 9(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (j),
(m) or (u)) or (y) pursuant to Section 15 (g), (h) or (i) unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the details of the alleged misrepresentation
or breach of warranty or claim for indemnification under such section, delivered to the Stockholders' Committee on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The Purchaser Indemnitees
shall not be entitled to recover pursuant to Sections 15(a) with respect to a breach of Section 9(m) or pursuant to Section 15(c) unless a claim has been asserted by written notice,
specifying the details of the alleged misrepresentation or breach of warranty or claim for indemnification under such section, delivered to the Stockholders' Committee on or prior to the expiration of
the applicable statute of limitations with respect to Taxes. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover pursuant to Sections 15(a) with respect to a breach of Section 9(u) or
pursuant to Section 15(d) or (e) unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the details of the alleged misrepresentation or breach of warranty or claim for
indemnification under such sections, is delivered to the Stockholders' Committee on or prior to the expiration of the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date; 

        (c)   the
Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 15: 

        (i)    with
respect to: (A) consequential damages of any kind, damages consisting of business interruption or lost profits (regardless of the characterization thereof),
damages for diminution in value of the Company and/or the Subsidiary, damages computed or a multiple of earnings or similar basis, and punitive damages; 

        (ii)   to
the extent: (A) the aggregate claims under Section 15(a), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h) and (i) of the Purchaser Indemnitees and paid by
Sellers exceed $1,500,000; or (B) the matter in question, taken together with all similar matters, does not exceed the amount of any reserves or accruals established with respect thereto which
are reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet and taken into account in the calculation of Working Capital; 

        (d)   no
Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for indemnification with respect to any claim of Purchaser which is indemnifiable hereunder in an amount which exceeds such
Seller's pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of such claim (such pro rata portion being computed on the basis of the ratio of the total number of Shares owned by such Seller immediately prior to
the Closing to the total number of Shares then outstanding). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (x) in the event a representation and warranty of a Seller pursuant to Section 10
shall be incorrect, or in the event a Seller shall violate
Section 14(c), only that Seller shall have an obligation of indemnification pursuant to Section 15, and (y) Edson II agrees that it will not dissolve except (i) in
accordance with Section 14(f) and (ii) unless, in connection with such dissolution, its partners agree to be jointly and severally liable for any remaining obligations of Edson II under
this Agreement; 

        (e)   Sellers
shall have no obligation of indemnification under Section 15(h) to the extent the Damages which are the substance of such indemnification claim
(x) are covered by insurance presently or heretofore maintained by the Company or the Subsidiary (excluding deductibles), and (y) the insurer under such insurance policy shall have
assumed the defense of such matter. Purchaser's remedy for a breach of an inaccuracy in the representations and warranty contained in Section 9(dd)(i) shall be indemnification pursuant
to Section 15(h). 

        17.    Purchaser's Indemnification Covenants.    Subject to the provisions of Section 18, Purchaser shall
indemnity, save and keep Sellers and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns ("Seller Indemnitees"), harmless against and from all Damages sustained
or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee, whether or not involving a Third Party Claim against such Seller Indemnitee, as a result of or arising out of or by virtue of: 

        (a)   any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty made by Purchaser to Sellers herein or in any closing document delivered to Sellers in connection
herewith; and/or 

        (b)   any
breach by Purchaser of, or failure by Purchaser to comply with, any of the covenants or obligations under this Agreement to be performed by Purchaser. 

        18.    Limitation on Purchaser's Indemnification Obligations.    Purchaser's obligations pursuant to the provisions of
Section 18 are subject to the following limitations: 

        (a)   the
Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under Section 17(a) until the total amount which the Seller Indemnitees would recover under such Sections,
but for this Section 18(a), exceeds the Deductible, and then the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover only for the excess over the Deductible; 

        (b)   no
Seller Indemnitee may make any claim for indirect, special or consequential damages, damages consisting of business interruption or lost profits or punitive damages;
and 

        (c)   Purchaser's
aggregate liability for indemnification claims made under Section 17(a) shall not exceed $1,500,000 (with such aggregate liability being based on
amounts actually paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 17(a)). 

        19.    Third-Party Claim Procedures.    

        (a)   Promptly
after receipt by a Seller Indemnitee or a Purchaser Indemnitee, as the case may be (an "Indemnitee") of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against
it, such Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to the Person(s) obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee under Section 15 or 17, as the case may be (each, an "Indemnitor") of the assertion of such
Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to such Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnitor
demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim was prejudiced by the Indemnitee's failure to give such prompt notice. 

        (b)   If
an Indemnitee gives notice to an Indemnitor pursuant to paragraph (a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate
in the defense 

of
such Third-Party Claim (at its sole cost) and, subject to paragraph (c) below, to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnitee. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such
defense, be liable to the Indemnitee under Section 15 or 17 (as applicable) for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each
case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a
Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of, and subject to,
indemnification as provided herein, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnitor or shall be binding on the Indemnitee without the
Indemnitee's consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or of the rights of any Person, and (B) the sole relief
provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor. If notice is given to an Indemnitor of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within ten
(10) Business Days after the Indemnitee's notice is given, give notice to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee will be entitled, to the
Indemnitor's exclusion and at the Indemnitor's cost, to fully assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnitor will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any
compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnitee in respect thereof. 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Indemnitee may require that the Indemnitor not assume or maintain control of, or actively participate in (in which case, the
Indemnitor shall not assume, maintain control of or actively participate in) the defense, of a Third Party Claim against the Indemnitee if (i) the Indemnitor is also a Person against whom the
Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation of the Indemnitor and Indemnitee would be inappropriate, (ii) the Indemnitee requests, and the
Indemnitor fails to provide, reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor's financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and to provide indemnification with respect thereto, or
(iii) the Indemnitee determines in good faith that there is a
reasonable probability that the Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement. In any of these events, the Indemnitee may, by written notice to the Indemnitor, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnitor will
not be bound by any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim for the purposes of this Agreement without its consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such compromise or settlement. 

        (d)   Sellers
and Purchaser hereby consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an action or proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against
any Indemnitee for purposes of any claim that an Indemnitee may have under this Agreement with respect to such action or proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served
on any Indemnitor with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. 

        (e)   With
respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under Section 15 or 17, (i) the Indemnitee(s) and the Indemnitor(s), as the case may be,
shall keep the other(s) fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related actions or proceedings at all stages thereof, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense)
to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any
Third-Party Claim. 

        (f)    With
respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under Section 15 or 17, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve to the
greatest extent possible the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the parties and the attorney-client and work-product privileges as between the parties and
their respective legal advisors. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use all reasonable efforts in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it assumes or participates
in the defense to avoid production of confidential and proprietary information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and
counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the greatest extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or
work-product privilege. 

        20.    Set-Off and Recovery from Escrow.    

        (a)   Sellers
may set off the amount of any valid claim for indemnification made by any Seller Indemnified Party under Section 17 against any amounts payable by Sellers
to Purchaser under Section 3 and/or Section 15. 

        (b)   Purchaser
may set off the amount of any valid claim for indemnification made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 15, against any amount payable by
Purchaser to Sellers under Section 3 and/or Section 17. Purchaser may also set off the amount of any valid claim for indemnification made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party against a
particular Seller under Section 15 (with respect to such Seller's breach of either Section 10 or Section 14(c)) against any amount payable by Purchaser to the same Seller (or its
successors or assigns) under Section 3 or Section 17. 

        (c)   The
indemnification obligations of Sellers pursuant to Section 15 shall first be satisfied from the Escrow Deposit until the Escrow Deposit has been exhausted in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The amount of any such recovery by Purchaser from the Escrow Deposit will correspondingly reduce by the same amount Sellers' liability under
Section 15 for the indemnification claim in respect of which such recovery is made. 

        (d)   Sellers
shall have direct liability for indemnification under Section 15 only to the extent that the amount of any indemnification claim made under
Section 15 exceeds the balance of the Escrow Deposit. To provide a fund for the payment of any such liability, Sellers shall cause the Stockholders' Committee to retain, on behalf of the
Sellers, a fund of not less than $500,000. In the event no claim for indemnification by the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be pending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stockholders'
Committee may disburse such sum thereafter to Sellers. If a claim for indemnification shall then be pending, and such claim (taken together with the amount of the Escrow Deposit then on deposit with
the Escrowee) is less than the amount being held back by the Stockholders' Committee, the Stockholders' Committee may distribute the surplus to the Sellers. 

        21.    Indemnification Exclusive Remedy.    Except for fraudulent misrepresentations, indemnification pursuant to the
provisions of Section 15 or 17 shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty or covenant contained herein or in any closing document executed
and delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, except for any claim of fraudulent misrepresentation, no legal action sounding in tort or
strict liability may be maintained by any party. 

        22.    Appointment of Stockholders' Committee.    Each of Sellers hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Accountants (represented by Charles M. Allen) and David L. Babson & Company Inc. (represented by Michael Klofas) (collectively, the "Stockholders' Committee"), as such Seller's
attorneys-in-fact and agents in connection with the execution and
performance of this Agreement. This power is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, dissolution or other inability to act of any of
Sellers. The rights, powers and duties of the Stockholders' Committee are as follows: 

        (a)    Authority.    Each of Sellers hereby irrevocably grants the Stockholders' Committee full power and authority
to: (i) execute and deliver, on behalf of such Seller, and to accept delivery of, on behalf of such Seller, such documents as may be deemed by the Stockholders' Committee, in their sole
discretion, to be appropriate to consummate this Agreement; (ii) endorse and to deliver on behalf of such Seller, certificates representing the Shares to be sold by such Seller at the Closing;
(iii) acknowledge receipt at the Closing of the Purchase Price for each Share sold by such Seller at the Closing, as payment in full for such Shares, and to designate the manner of payment of
such Purchase Price; (iv) dispute or refrain from disputing, on behalf of such Seller, any claim made by Purchaser under this Agreement; (v) negotiate and compromise, on behalf of such
Seller, any dispute that may arise under, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement; 

(vi) execute,
on behalf of such Seller, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; (vii) give or agree to, on behalf of such Seller, any
and all consents, waivers, amendments or modifications, deemed by the Stockholders' Committee, in their sole discretion, to be necessary or appropriate, under this Agreement, and, in each case, to
execute and deliver any documents that may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith; (viii) enforce, on behalf of such Seller, any claim against Purchaser arising under this
Agreement; (ix) engage attorneys, accountants and agents at the expense of Sellers; (x) retain a portion of the Purchase Price as a fund for the payment of expenses payable by the
Sellers pursuant to the provisions hereof, adjustments to the Purchase Price, and potential claims for indemnification by Purchaser, and to invest such retained portion for the benefit of the Sellers;
(xi) amend this Agreement (other than this Section 22) or any of the instruments to be delivered to Purchaser by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and (xii) give such
instructions and to take such action or refrain from taking such action, on behalf of such Seller, as the Stockholders' Committee deems, in their sole discretion, necessary or appropriate to carry out
the provisions of this Agreement. Purchaser shall at all times be entitled to treat the statements and actions (including non-actions) of the Stockholders' Committee (including any
representative thereof), to the extent falling within its authority under this paragraph (a)), as the statements and actions of any and all Sellers, and Purchaser shall have no duty or
obligation to independently verify or confirm with any Seller, any member of the Stockholders' Committee or any other Person the accuracy, truthfulness or validity of any statement or action
(including non-action) of the Stockholders' Committee or the authority of the Stockholders' Committee (or any representative thereof) to make or take such statement or action (or
non-action). 

        (b)    Reliance.    Each Seller hereby agrees that: (i) in all matters in which action by the Stockholders'
Committee is required or permitted, a majority of the members of the Stockholders' Committee is authorized to act on behalf of such Seller, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the
Sellers, among the members of the Stockholders' Committee, or between any Seller and the Stockholders' Committee, and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the
Stockholders' Committee, or a majority of the members thereof, under this Agreement without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any of the Sellers or the other members of the Stockholders'
Committee, notwithstanding any knowledge on the part of the Purchaser of any such dispute or disagreement; (ii) notice to any member of the Stockholders' Committee, delivered in the manner
provided in Section 23(c), shall be deemed to be notice to all of the members of the Stockholders' Committee and to all Sellers for the purposes of this Agreement; (iii) the power and
authority of the Stockholders' Committee, as described in this Agreement, shall continue in force until all rights and obligations of Sellers under this Agreement shall have terminated, expired or
been fully performed; (iv) a majority in interest of Sellers shall have the right, exercisable from time to time upon written notice delivered to the Stockholders' Committee and Purchaser:
(A) to remove any member or members of the Stockholders' Committee, with or without cause; (B) to appoint a Seller (or, in the case of a Seller Entity, an officer, employee, partner,
accountant or attorney of such Seller Entity) to fill a vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of a member of the Stockholders' Committee; and (C) subject to paragraph (c),
to expand the number of members of the Stockholders' Committee and to appoint Sellers (or officers, employees, partners, accountants or attorneys as aforesaid) to fill the vacancies created thereby; 

        (c)    Replacement.    If any member of the Stockholders' Committee resigns or is removed or otherwise ceases to
function in his capacity as such for any reason whatsoever, and no successor is appointed pursuant to paragraph (b) within thirty (30) days, the Stockholders' Committee shall consist
solely of the remaining member of the Stockholders' Committee. If, as a result of such resignation, removal or cessation, there are no remaining members of the Stockholders' Committee and no successor
is appointed by a majority in interest of the Sellers within thirty (30) days, then Purchaser shall have the right to appoint a Seller or an officer, 

employee,
partner, accountant or attorney as aforesaid, to act as the sole member of the Stockholders' Committee, to serve as described in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 22, there shall at no time be more than two members of the Stockholders' Committee. 

        (d)    Actions by Sellers.    Each Seller agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of Purchaser,
such Seller shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, delivery of such Seller's Shares and acceptance of the
Purchase Price therefor) individually on such Seller's own behalf, and delivery of any other documents required of Sellers pursuant to the terms hereof. 

        (e)    Indemnification of Purchaser Indemnitees.    Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Purchaser
Indemnitees against, and agree to hold the Purchaser Indemnitees harmless from, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of, with respect to or incident to the
operation of, or any breach of any covenant or agreement pursuant to, this Section 22, or the designation, appointment and actions of the Stockholders' Committee pursuant to the provisions
hereof, including without limitation, with respect to (x) actions taken by the Stockholders' Committee or any member thereof, and (y) reliance by any Purchaser Indemnitee on, and actions
taken by any Purchaser Indemnitee in response to or in reliance on, the instructions of, notice given by or any other action taken by the Stockholders' Committee. 

        (f)    Indemnification of Stockholders' Committee.    Each Seller shall severally indemnify each member of the
Stockholders' Committee against any Damages (except such Damages as result from such member's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such member may suffer or incur in connection with any action
or omission of such member as a member of the Stockholders' Committee. Each Seller shall bear its pro-rata portion of such Damages. No member of the Stockholders' Committee shall be liable
to any Seller with respect to any action or omission taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholders' Committee pursuant to this Section 22, except for such member's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 

        23.    Miscellaneous    

        (a)    Fees.    Sellers shall pay all fees and expenses charged by BMO Nesbitt Burns, Inc. 

        (b)    Publicity.    Except as otherwise required by law (including without limitation the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended) or applicable New York Stock Exchange rules, press releases and other publicity concerning this transaction shall be made only with the prior agreement of the Stockholders' Committee
and Purchaser (and in any event, the Stockholders' Committee and Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts to consult and agree with each other with respect to the content of any such required press
release or other publicity). Except as otherwise required by law or New York Stock Exchange rules, no such press releases or other publicity shall state the amount of the Purchase Price. 

        (c)    Notices.    All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by hand,
by facsimile, by nationally recognized private courier, or by United States mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices delivered by mail shall be deemed
given three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Notices delivered by hand by facsimile,
or by nationally recognized private courier shall be deemed given on the first Business Day following receipt; provided, however, that a notice
delivered by facsimile shall only be effective if such notice is also delivered by hand, or 

deposited
in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, on or before two (2) Business Days after its delivery by facsimile. All notices shall be addressed as

and permitted assigns. Each Exhibit, schedule and the Disclosure Schedule, shall be considered incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Any amendments, or alternative or supplementary
provisions, to this Agreement, must be made in writing and duly executed by an authorized representative or agent of each of the parties hereto. Each item of disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule
shall correspond only to the particular paragraph or subparagraph of Section 9 hereof to which such item of disclosure is expressly stated to refer. The inclusion in any part of the Disclosure
Schedule of any item of disclosure in respect of a particular paragraph or subparagraph of Section 9 hereof shall not, nor shall it be deemed to, constitute disclosure for purposes of any other
part of the Disclosure Schedule unless specific reference to such item of disclosure is made in each applicable portion of the Disclosure Schedule. The inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedule
is not evidence of the materiality of such item for the purposes of this Agreement. The parties make no representations or warranties to each other, except as contained in this Agreement, and any and
all prior representations and warranties made by any party or its representatives, whether verbally or in writing, are deemed to have been merged into this Agreement, it being intended that no such
prior
representations or warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Sections 16 and 18, the representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations of the parties hereto in this Agreement will survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation conducted by the party to
which such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation was given (including such party's representatives) or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such party (or its
representatives) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates, forecasts, or projections furnished or made available to it concerning the Company or the Subsidiary
(including, without limitation, the contents of the confidential offering memorandum circulated by BMO Nesbitt Burns, Inc.) on their properties, business or assets have not been prepared in
accordance with GAAP or standards applicable under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such estimates, and the estimates reflected in the Financial Statements and the Interim Financial
Statements, reflect numerous assumptions, and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. 

        (f)    Non-Waiver.    The failure in any one or more instances of a party to insist upon performance of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, to exercise any right or privilege in this Agreement conferred, or the waiver by said party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and
effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. 

        (g)    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and delivered in original form or by
electronic facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument. This Agreement will become effective when each party hereto, or
its counsel, has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto. 

        (h)    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or
circumstance, is held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator or under any applicable law, the parties hereto will negotiate an equitable adjustment to the
provisions of this Agreement with the view to effecting, to the greatest extent possible, the original purpose and intent of this Agreement. If any provision of Section 14(c) 

hereof
is found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to exceed the temporal, geographic or occupational limits permitted by any applicable law, such provision shall be, and is hereby,
reformed to the maximum temporal, geographic and/or occupational limitations permitted by such applicable law. In any event, the invalidity of any provision of this Agreement or portion of a provision
shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement or the remaining portion of the applicable provision. 

        (i)    Applicable Law.    The provisions of Section 14(c) shall be governed and controlled as to validity,
enforcement, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to choice or conflicts of law rules. All other provisions
of this Agreement and any other agreement, instrument or document delivered at Closing in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby shall be governed and controlled as to validity,
enforcement, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to choice or conflicts of law rules. 

        (j)    Binding Effect; Benefit.    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto, and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any Person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, including, without limitation, third party beneficiary rights, except that the Indemnified
Employees shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 14(b), the Stockholders' Committee shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 22(f), the Purchaser Indemnitees (other than
Purchaser) shall be third party beneficiaries of Sections 15, and 22(e), and the Seller Indemnitees (other than Sellers) shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 17. 

        (k)    Assignability.    This Agreement shall not be assignable by any Seller without the prior written consent of
Purchaser, or by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Stockholders' Committee; provided,  however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to
a wholly-owned subsidiary without such consent if Purchaser remains liable for its covenants and
obligations hereunder. 

        (l)    Governmental Reporting.    Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to mean that a party hereto or other Person must make or file, or cooperate in the making or filing of, any return or report to any governmental authority in any manner
that such Person or such party reasonably believes or reasonably is advised is not in accordance with law. 

        (m)    Waiver of Trial by Jury.    Each of the parties hereto waives the right to a jury trial in connection with any
suit, action or proceeding seeking enforcement of such party's rights under this Agreement. 

        (n)    Consent to Jurisdiction.    This Agreement has been executed and delivered in and shall be deemed to have been
made in Chicago, Illinois. Sellers and Purchaser each agree to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or Federal court within the City of Chicago, Illinois or the City of Los Angeles, California,
with respect to any claim or cause of action arising under or relating to this Agreement, and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all services of process be made
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to it at its address as set forth in Section 23(c), and service so made shall be deemed to be completed when received.
Sellers and Purchaser each waive any objection based on forum non conveniens and waive any objection to venue of any action instituted hereunder.
Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of Sellers or Purchaser to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. 

        (o)    Amendments.    This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing
executed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 

        (p)    Dates and Times.    Dates and times set forth in this Agreement for the performance of the parties' respective
duties and obligations will be strictly construed, time being of the essence of this Agreement. 

        (q)    Headings; Section References; Interpretation.    The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and, shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, any reference in this Agreement (including any Schedule hereto) to a
"Section", "paragraph" or "subparagraph" followed by a number or letter or combination of the two shall be a reference to the particular Section, paragraph or subparagraph of this Agreement bearing
such number, letter or combination thereof. The terms "hereof," "herein," "hereunder" and comparable terms refer, unless otherwise expressly indicated, to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular Section, paragraph, subparagraph or other subdivision hereof or any Schedule, Exhibit or other attachment hereto. The terms "include", "includes" and "including" shall be deemed to be
followed by "without limitation" whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like import. Whenever the context so requires, the singular number will include the plural and the
plural will include the singular, and the gender of any pronoun will include the other gender or neuter, as applicable.

Exhibit D to the Stock Purchase Agreement

Escrow Agreement  

  
 

    EXHIBIT D    
    
    ESCROW AGREEMENT    
    

        This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made this 30th day of December, 2002 by and among
Magnetek, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Magnetek"), the MXT Holdings, Inc. Stockholders' Committee, represented by Crowe, Chizek &
Co. LLP and David L. Babson & Company Inc. (collectively, the "Stockholders' Committee") and Bank One Trust Company, N.A.
("Bank One") as escrow agent. Magnetek, the Stockholders' Committee and Bank One are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the
"Parties" and individually as a "Party". All initially capitalized words or terms not otherwise defined
in this Agreement have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below). 

R E C I T A L S 

        Pursuant
to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement made by and among Magnetek and the Sellers dated as of December 30th, 2002 (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), Magnetek purchased and acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding stock of MXT Holdings, Inc., an Illinois corporation. 

        Pursuant
to Section 15 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Sellers have agreed to indemnify Magnetek for damages, losses and other liabilities arising from, among other things,
breaches of covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 

        This
Agreement is entered into pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) of the Stock Purchase Agreement to establish an escrow of a portion of the Purchase Price, which escrow, pursuant
to Section 20(c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, may be accessed in respect of a claim for indemnification by Magnetek under Section 15 of the Stock Purchase Agreement against the
Sellers, or any of them. 

        The
Sellers have authorized the Stockholders' Committee to represent them with respect to all matters contemplated in this Agreement, as more fully described in  Section 5.1. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I  

 ESCROW AGENT: ESCROW OF FUNDS  

        1.1    Appointment of Escrow Agent.    The Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek hereby appoint Bank One as escrow
agent hereunder, and Bank One hereby accepts such appointment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Escrow Agent" will mean Bank One acting in the
capacity of escrow agent hereunder or any other Person that replaces Bank One as escrow agent following Bank One's resignation or removal as escrow agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. 

        1.2    Delivery of Escrow Amount.    Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, pursuant to the provisions
of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Magnetek has delivered to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Escrow
Amount"), and the Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Amount and agrees to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Amount only in accordance with the
provisions hereof. 

        1.3    Investment of Funds Held by Escrow Agent: Interest and Income.    Pending distribution in accordance with the
provisions hereof, the Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be invested in The One Group U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund or, if directed in writing by the
Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek, in short term, liquid U.S. Government securities. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that unless the Escrow Amount and any such written instructions are
delivered to the Escrow Agent by 11:00 a.m. Central Time on a Business Day, the Escrow Amount will remain uninvested until the next Business Day. All interest or other income earned on the
Escrow Amount will be the exclusive property of Sellers and will not form part of the 

Escrow
Amount. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek agree, for United States federal income tax purposes, to treat all interest and other income earned
on the Escrow Amount as income to the Sellers, and the Stockholders' Committee agrees to cause each Seller to file all tax returns on a basis consistent with such treatment. The Stockholders'
Committee may request at any time, and in which event the Escrow Agent will promptly release from escrow and pay to the Stockholders' Committee on behalf of the Sellers, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, any and all interest or other income earned on the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution in value of any asset held
hereunder which may result from any investment or reinvestment made in accordance with any provision of this Agreement. 

        1.4    Availability of Funds/Delivery of Property.    The release and payment of the Escrow Amount, or any portion
thereof, as provided herein will be subject to the sale and final settlement of the permitted investments referred to in Section 1.3. Delivery by
Magnetek and/or the Stockholders' Committee to the Escrow Agent of any Payout Direction (as defined in Section 2.1(a)) or other notice or direction for the release and payment of the Escrow
Amount, or any portion thereof, when the Escrow Amount is invested in The One Group U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, must be made to the Escrow Agent by 11:00 a.m. Central Time if the Escrow
Amount is required under such notice or direction to be delivered by the close of that Business Day. Otherwise, the Escrow Amount will be delivered on the next Business Day. With respect to the sale
of any other permitted investment, if the final settlement of that sale has not occurred by 1:00 p.m. Central Time on the day such notice or direction for release and payment is delivered to
the Escrow Agent, then the portion of the Escrow Amount to be released and paid by the Escrow Agent will be released and paid on the next Business Day following the day on which such Payout Direction
or other notice or direction is delivered to the Escrow Agent. 

ARTICLE II  

 DISTRIBUTION OF ESCROW AMOUNT  

        2.1    Distribution of Escrow Amount.    Subject to the provisions of Sections
2.2 and 2.3, the Escrow Agent will distribute the Escrow Amount only as follows: 

        (a)   If
Magnetek is entitled to any payment for Damages for any valid indemnification claim pursuant to Section 15 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Magnetek will
execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy simultaneously sent to the Stockholders' Committee in accordance with Section 5.2, an
originally executed direction (a "Payout Direction") directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Magnetek that portion of the Escrow Amount which is equal to
the amount of such Damages claim, up to the full amount of the Escrow Amount, less any unpaid portion of Magnetek's share of the Escrow Agent's fees and expenses contemplated in  Section 3.1(g).

        (b)   At
any time after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stockholders' Committee may execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy simultaneously
sent to Magnetek in accordance with Section 5.2, a Payout Direction directing the Escrow Agent to pay to release from escrow and pay to the
Stockholders' Committee any and all remaining Escrow Amount, less any unpaid portion of the Escrow Agent's fees and expenses contemplated in  Section 3.1(g). 

        2.2    Treatment of Payout Directions and Escrow Release.    The Escrow Agent will act on any Payout Direction that it
receives pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) or (b) as follows: 

        (a)   The
Escrow Agent may not act on a Payout Direction delivered to it by Magnetek pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or by
the Stockholders' Committee pursuant to Section 2.1(b) unless such Payout Direction contains (i) a reference to the specific provisions of
the Stock Purchase Agreement and/or this Agreement pursuant to which such Payout Direction is delivered, (ii) the amount of the Escrow Amount requested for payment, and (iii) a
certification that a copy of such Payout Direction has been sent to the Party (the "Opposing Party") that would be entitled to 

deliver
an Objection Notice (as defined below) with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1. 

        (b)   The
Escrow Agent will hold any Payout Direction that it receives pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or  (b), without taking any action, for ten (10) Business
Days, during which time the applicable Opposing Party may deliver to the Escrow Agent, with
a copy sent to the Party that delivered the Payout Direction in accordance with Section 5.2, written notice of its good faith objection to such
Payout Direction or the amount sought therein, which notice must contain reasonable details as to the reason for such objection (an "Objection Notice").
For purposes of this Section 2.2(b), Magnetek may only give an Objection Notice on the basis that it has made a claim against the Sellers, or any
of them, for indemnification under Section 15 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, and in connection therewith, Magnetek intends to claim any part of the remaining Escrow Amount in full or partial
satisfaction of such indemnification claim. If the Escrow Agent does not receive an Objection Notice from the Stockholders' Committee in
respect of a Magnetek Payout Direction or from Magnetek in respect of a Stockholders' Committee Payout Direction within the time period specified above, the Party that would have the right to give
such Objection Notice will be irrevocably deemed to have agreed with and consented to the Payout Direction, in which event the Escrow Agent will be, without further notice, authorized and directed to
promptly deliver to the Party that delivered the Payout Direction payment of the amount of the Escrow Amount referred to in such Payout Direction (less any applicable withholdings of the Escrow
Agent's fees and expenses, as contemplated in Section 2.1) by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 

        (c)   If
the Stockholders' Committee or Magnetek delivers an Objection Notice within the ten (10) Business Day period specified in  Section 2.2(b), the Escrow Agent will continue to hold the amount of
the Escrow Amount sought in the Payout Direction that triggered such
Objection Notice pending the resolution between Magnetek and the Stockholders' Committee of the disagreement or dispute forming the basis of the Objection Notice. 

        (d)   Within
ten (10) Business Days following delivery of an Objection Notice, Magnetek and the Stockholders' Committee will commence discussions with a view to
resolving the disagreement or dispute forming the basis of the Objection Notice. If Magnetek and the Stockholders' Committee resolve such disagreement or dispute through such discussions, they will
deliver a joint written notice to the Escrow Agent of such resolution, including the details of any payment to be made out of the Escrow Amount. Following its receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent
will promptly deliver to the applicable Party payment of the specified amount of the Escrow Amount referred to in such notice (less any applicable withholdings of the Escrow Agent's fees and expenses,
as contemplated in Section 2.1) by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If, within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of
delivery of an Objection Notice, the disagreement or dispute on which such Objection Notice is based is not resolved through discussions, Magnetek or the Stockholders' Committee will be entitled to
undertake formal proceedings to resolve such dispute, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.9 and  5.10. If either Party prevails in such proceedings
so as to entitle such Party to receive some or all of the Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent will be
authorized to immediately release from escrow and pay such amount to such Party (less any applicable withholdings of the Escrow Agent's fees and expenses, as contemplated in  Section 2.1) upon
receipt from such Party of (i) an executed Payout Direction indicating the amount of such payment to be made, and
(ii) a copy of the court order or finding in favor of such Party stating an amount being awarded in favor of such Party that is equal to or greater than the amount referred to in such Payout
Direction. 

        2.3    Joint Payout Direction.    Notwithstanding any provision of  Section 2.1 or 2.2, Magnetek and the Stockholders' Committee may, at any time, jointly execute
and deliver to the Escrow Agent one or more Payout Directions directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Magnetek and/or the Stockholders' Committee such amounts of the Escrow Amount as may be provided in
such Payout Direction(s), less any unpaid portion of the Escrow Agent's fees and expenses contemplated in Section 3.1(g). 

ARTICLE III  

 ESCROW AGENT  

        3.1    Concerning the Escrow Agent.    

        (a)   The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent is acting solely and exclusively as a depository hereunder, and will have only those duties as are specifically
provided herein, which will be deemed purely ministerial in nature. The Escrow Agent will under no circumstances be deemed a fiduciary for any of the other Parties. The Escrow Agent will neither be
responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the other Parties in connection herewith, including, without
limitation, the Stock Purchase Agreement (except that the Escrow Agent has been provided with a copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement for the sole purpose of understanding certain terms used herein
that are defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the Escrow Agent acknowledges that it has reviewed and understands such definitions). The Escrow Agent will have no liability to any Person in
acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, certificate, receipt, authorization, or other paper or document which the Escrow Agent believes in good faith to be genuine and what it
purports to be. 

        (b)   The
Escrow Agent may confer with legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof, or its duties hereunder,
and it will incur no liability and it will be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinions of such counsel. The Escrow Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder through agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees; provided, however, that (i) the Escrow Agent will remain solely liable for the performance of its duties and
obligations hereunder (and for any nonperformance by any such delegate), and (ii) if the Escrow Agent seeks to delegate all or substantially all of its duties and obligations hereunder, it will
resign as Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3.1(f). 

        (c)   In
the event of any conflicting or inconsistent claims or demands being made in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, or in the event that the Escrow
Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claim, direction or demand made against or on it, or refuse to take any
other action hereunder so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists. If the Escrow Agent has any doubt as to the course of action it should take under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent
is hereby authorized to petition any state or federal court of Illinois for instructions or to interplead the Escrow Amount into such court. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence only,
the Parties agree to the jurisdiction of any of said courts over their persons as well as the Escrow Amount, waive personal service of process, and agree that service of process by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address set forth below each Party's signature to this Agreement will constitute adequate service. The Escrow Agent will not be or become liable in
any way or to any Person for its failure or refusal to act hereunder, and the Escrow Agent will be entitled to continue to refrain from acting hereunder until (i) the rights of all
Parties have been fully and finally adjudicated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1(c) or  Section 5.9, as applicable, or (ii) all
differences have been settled and all doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested
Parties, and the Escrow Agent is notified thereof in writing signed by Magnetek and the Stockholders' Committee. the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow
Agent harmless from any liability or losses occasioned thereby and to pay any and all of its fees, costs, expenses, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in any such action and agree that, on such
petition or interpleader action, the Escrow Agent, its servants, agents, employees and officers will be relieved of further liability. The Escrow Agent is hereby given a lien upon, and security
interest in, the Escrow Amount to secure the Escrow Agent's rights to payment or reimbursement (or both) under this Agreement. 

        (d)   THE
ESCROW AGENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO MAGNETEK, THE STOCKHOLDERS' COMMITTEE, ANY SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANYTHING WHICH THE ESCROW AGENT MAY DO OR REFRAIN FROM
DOING 

PURSUANT
TO THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT WHICH MAY CONSTITUTE THE ESCROW AGENT'S OWN NEGLIGENCE, BUT EXCLUDING THE ESCROW AGENT'S OWN GROSS
NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MALFEASANCE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE TO MAGNETEK, THE STOCKHOLDERS' COMMITTEE, ANY SELLER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. 

        (e)   MAGNETEK
AND THE STOCKHOLDERS COMMITTEE HEREBY AGREE JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY TO PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ESCROW AGENT AGAINST ANY AND ALL COSTS,
LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE LEGAL COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES) INCURRED BY IT ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ITS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
CARRYING OUT OF ITS DUTIES HEREUNDER, INCLUDING THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF DEFENDING ITSELF AGAINST ANY CLAIM OF LIABILITY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT SUCH INDEMNITY WILL NOT APPLY TO ANY COSTS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR
WILLFUL MALFEASANCE ON THE ESCROW AGENT'S PART. THE ABOVE INDEMNIFICATION SHALL SURVIVE THE RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE ESCROW AGENT AND/OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

        (f)    The
Escrow Agent may resign as escrow agent hereunder for any reason upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Stockholders' Committee and
Magnetek. Forthwith upon expiration of such notice period, the Escrow Agent will deliver the Escrow Amount, after the payment to itself of all fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent due and payable
hereunder, to any successor escrow agent appointed jointly by the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek (and of which the Escrow Agent is notified), or if no successor escrow agent has been so
appointed, to any court of competent jurisdiction
referred to in Section 3.1(c). Upon either such delivery, the Escrow Agent will be released from its obligations and liabilities hereunder, other
than any liability for gross negligence, fraud or willful malfeasance of the Escrow Agent occurring before or in connection with such delivery. Release of the Escrow Agent under this  Section 3.1(f)
will in no way discharge the Stockholders' Committee or Magnetek of their obligations under this  Section 3.1 regarding reimbursement of expenses, indemnity and fees. 

        (g)   In
consideration for its services hereunder, the Escrow Agent will be entitled only to the fees set forth in  Schedule A to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent acknowledges and agrees that it will provide
the services described herein in consideration of
such fees and that, subject to the express provisions of this Section 3.1, the Escrow Agent will not be entitled to receive, and no other Party
will be obligated to pay the Escrow Agent, any other fees or expenses for its services hereunder. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, Magnetek will pay to
the Escrow Agent the aggregate Two Thousand Dollar ($2,000) Acceptance Fee and Annual Administrative Fee referred to in Schedule A. All other
fees and expenses owing to the Escrow Agent under Schedule A will be paid by Magnetek as and when due. 

        (h)   It
is strictly understood that the Escrow Agent has no duty to disburse the Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof) to any Person until the Escrow Amount has been
collected by the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Amount is available in accordance with normal banking procedures and/or policies. 

        (i)    No
assignment of the rights and interests herein and hereunder of either Magnetek or the Stockholders' Committee will be binding upon the Escrow Agent unless and until
written evidence of such assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, is delivered to and accepted by the Escrow Agent. 

        (j)    Any
Person into which the Escrow Agent is converted or merged, or with which it is consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business and
assets as a whole or in part, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, will be and become the successor Escrow Agent hereunder
and will be vested with all of the title to the whole property or trust estate and all the trust, powers, immunities, privileges, protections and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the
execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the Parties, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 

        3.2    Removal of the Escrow Agent.    the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek may terminate, discharge and relieve
the Escrow Agent of its duties hereunder at any time upon delivery of written notice thereof, jointly executed by the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek. Forthwith, after its receipt of such notice,
the Escrow Agent will make all necessary arrangements to promptly and securely transfer the Escrow Amount into the possession of whichever Person or Persons as the Stockholders'
Committee and Magnetek may specify in such written notice or in any other jointly executed notice to the Escrow Agent. Upon delivery by the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Amount to such specified Person
or persons in the manner provided in such notice, the Escrow Agent will be released from its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, other than any liability for gross negligence, fraud or
willful malfeasance of the Escrow Agent occurring before or in connection with such delivery. Release of the Escrow Agent under this Section 3.2
will in no way discharge the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek of their obligations under Section 3.1 regarding reimbursement of expenses,
indemnity and fees. The Escrow Agent will have the right to deduct from the Escrow Amount to be transferred to the Person or Persons referred to in the Stockholders' Committee's and Magnetek's notice
an amount equal to any unpaid fees and expenses due and payable hereunder. 

        3.3    Successor Escrow Agent.    Any successor Escrow Agent appointed by the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek in
connection with the Escrow Agent's resignation or removal will be required to execute and deliver to each of the Stockholders' Committee and Magnetek an instrument accepting such appointment and all
duties and obligations provided hereunder, in which event such successor Escrow Agent will become vested in all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor for execution of the mandate
provided herein, with like effect as if originally named as the Escrow Agent hereunder. 

ARTICLE IV  

 TERM OF AGREEMENT  

        4.1    Term of Escrow.    This Agreement will take effect as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, the term of this Agreement, other than the Stockholders' Committee's and Magnetek's joint and several indemnities hereunder, will terminate on the date which is the earlier of: 

        (a)   the
date on which all of the Escrow Amount has been properly disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of  Article II; and 

        (b)   the
effective date of termination of this Agreement, as specified in a written notice of termination jointly executed by the Stockholders' Committee, Magnetek and the
Escrow Agent, provided that such termination is not contrary to any order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

ARTICLE V  

 MISCELLANEOUS  

        5.1    Authority of Stockholders' Committee.    The Stockholders' Committee hereby represents and warrants to Magnetek
and the Escrow Agent that, pursuant to Section 22 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders' Committee has been appointed by each Seller as such Seller's agent and
attorney-in-fact for all purposes of this Agreement, and in such regard, the Stockholders' Committee has all necessary authority to act for and on behalf of, and to bind, the
Sellers with respect to all 

matters
contemplated herein, and that any action (including any inaction) of the Stockholders' Committee hereunder or in connection herewith will be binding upon the Sellers as if such action (or
inaction) was undertaken directly by each Seller. Each of Magnetek and the Escrow Agent will at all times be entitled to treat the statements and actions (including non-actions) of the
Stockholders' Committee (including any representative thereof) in connection with this Agreement as the statements and actions of any and all of the Sellers, and neither Magnetek nor the Escrow Agent
will have any duty or obligation to independently verify or confirm with any Seller, any member of the Stockholders' Committee or any other Person the accuracy, truthfulness or validity of any such
statement or action (including non-action) of the Stockholders' Committee or the authority of the Stockholders' Committee (or any representative thereof) to make or take such statement or
action (or non-action). 

        5.2    Notices.    All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by hand,
by facsimile, by nationally recognized private courier, or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices delivered by mail shall be deemed given
three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices delivered by hand by facsimile, or by
nationally recognized private courier shall be deemed given on the first Business Day following receipt; provided, however, that a notice delivered by facsimile shall only be effective if such notice
is also delivered by hand, or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, on or before two (2) Business Days after its delivery by facsimile. All notices

        5.3    Amendments; No Waiver.    

        (a)   Any
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such, amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by all
Parties, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. 

        (b)   No
waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or
subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent occurrence. No failure or delay by a
Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

        5.4    Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Party may assign its rights or delegate its covenants and obligations hereunder without the prior written
approval of the other Parties; provided, however, that Magnetek may assign this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary without such consent if Magnetek remains liable for its covenants and obligations
hereunder. 

        5.5    Applicable law.    This Agreement will be governed and controlled as to validity, enforcement, interpretation,
construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to choice or conflicts of law rules. 

        5.6    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and delivered in original form or by
electronic facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument. This Agreement will become effective when each party hereto has
received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto. 

        5.7    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement and, as between Magnetek and the Stockholders' Committee, the provisions of
the Stock Purchase Agreement applicable to this Agreement, constitutes the entire, final and complete agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements, promises, understandings, negotiations, representations and commitments, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

        5.8    Third Party Beneficiaries.    Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will confer on any Person other
than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy, obligation or liability under or by reason of this Agreement. 

        5.9    Waiver of Trial by Jury.    Each Party hereby waives the right to a jury trial in connection with any suit,
action or proceeding seeking enforcement of such Party's rights under this Agreement. 

        5.10    Consent to Jurisdiction.    This Agreement has been executed and delivered in, and shall be deemed to have
been made in, Chicago, Illinois. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(c) regarding the Escrow Agent's right to take certain actions through
the state or federal courts of Illinois, each Party agrees to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court within the City of Chicago, Illinois or the City of Los Angeles, California,
with respect to any claim or cause of action arising under or relating to this Agreement, and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all services of process be made
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to it at its address as set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, and service so made
shall be deemed to be completed when received. Each Party hereby waives any objection based on forum non conveniens and waives any objection to
venue of any action instituted hereunder. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. 

        5.11    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or
circumstance, is held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator or under any applicable law, the Parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment to the
provisions of this Agreement with the view to effecting, to the greatest extent possible, the original purpose and intent of this Agreement. In any event, the invalidity of any provision of this
Agreement or portion of a provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement or the remaining portion of the applicable provision. 

        5.12    Headings; Section References; Interpretation.    The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, any reference in this Agreement (including any Schedule hereto) to a
"Section", "subsection", "paragraph" or "subparagraph" followed by a number or letter or combination of the two shall be a reference to the particular Section, subsection, paragraph or subparagraph of
this Agreement bearing such number, letter or combination thereof. The terms "hereof," "herein," "hereunder" and comparable terms refer, unless otherwise expressly indicated, to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular Section, paragraph, subparagraph or other subdivision hereof or any Schedule or other attachment hereto. The terms "include", "includes" and "including" shall be deemed
to be followed by "without limitation" whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like import. Whenever the context so requires, the singular number will include the plural and
the plural will include the singular, and the gender of any pronoun will include the other gender or neuter, as applicable. 

        5.13    Dates and Times.    Dates and times set forth in this Agreement for the performance of the Parties' respective
obligations will be strictly construed, time being of the essence of this Agreement. All provisions in this Agreement which specify or provide a method to compute a number of days for the performance,
delivery, completion or observance by a Party of any action, covenant, agreement, obligation or notice hereunder will mean and refer to calendar days, unless otherwise expressly provided. If the date
specified or computed under this Agreement for the performance, delivery, completion or observance of a covenant, agreement, obligation or notice by any Party, or for the occurrence of any event
provided for herein, is a day other than a Business Day, then the date for such performance, delivery, completion, observance or occurrence will automatically be extended to the next Business Day
following such date.

SCHEDULE A    
    
    ESCROW FEE SCHEDULE    
    

	Acceptance Fee:	 	$1,000
	

Annual Administrative Fee:	
 	

$1,000
	

Transaction Fees:	
 	

$10 per check issued

$25 per outgoing wire
	

Tax Reporting fee:	
 	

$300 per year (if applicable)
	

Extraordinary Fee:	
 	

$250 per hour; minimum increments of one hour.

        The
fees quoted in this schedule apply to services ordinarily rendered in administering an escrow account and are subject to reasonable adjustment when the Escrow Agent is called upon to
undertake unusual duties or as changes in the law, procedures or the cost of doing business demand. The extraordinary fee rate in effect ($250/hour) will apply at the time services are provided. 

        Unless
otherwise agreed upon, the Acceptance Fee and the first year Administration Fee are payable upon the execution of the Escrow Agreement to which this Schedule A is attached
whether or not the escrow account is funded. In the event the escrow is not funded, the Acceptance Fee and all related expenses will not be refunded. Annual Administration fees cover a full year in
advance, or any part thereof, and thus are not pro-rated in the year of termination. 

        Upon
a client's direction, cash balances will be invested in any one of the following: 

        (a)   Cash
balances may be invested on a daily basis in a time deposit account with a BANC ONE affiliate bank in which event Bank One will waive its cash management fee. 

        (b)   Cash
balances may be invested in The One Group Money Market Funds in which event Bank One will charge a 25 basis point (.0025) cash management fee. The One Group will
pay Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation, an affiliate of BANC ONE, an investment advisory fee as described in the prospectuses. 

        (c)   Cash
balances may be invested in an alternative short-term investment fund in which event Bank One will charge a 25 basis point (.0025) cash management fee. 

        In
determining the general schedule of fees, Bank One takes into consideration the various incidental benefits accruing to it from the operation of the accounts. Collected funds must be
on deposit prior to disbursement of payments. In addition, Bank One has the use of funds deposited to pay checks that have not yet been presented for payment. No interest will be paid to the client on
these funds, it being understood that the float on these funds is considered in the calculation of our fees.
