Stock Units

	
This grant is an Award of stock units in the number of units set forth on the cover sheet, subject to the vesting conditions described below (“Stock Units”).

	
Vesting

	
Other than as set forth below, your Stock Units shall vest according to the schedule set forth on the cover sheet, provided that you remain in Service on the relevant Vesting Dates. If your Service terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement (as defined below), you will forfeit any Stock Units in which you have not yet become vested.

	
Death

	
If your Service terminates because of your death, your Stock Units will immediately become 100% vested.

	
Disability

	
If your Service terminates because of your Disability, your Stock Units will immediately become 100% vested.

	
Retirement

	
If your Service terminates due to Retirement (as defined below) on or after the first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date, your Stock Units will continue to vest following your termination of Service in accordance with the original vesting schedule as if your Service had not terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, if your Service terminates prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date, you will forfeit any Stock Units in which you have not yet become vested. “Retirement” means your termination of Service when your age and years of Service sum to at least sixty-five (65); provided you have reached age fifty-five (55) and have at least five (5) years of Service. For purposes of this definition of Retirement, “Service” shall be limited to service with Colfax Corporation, and shall not include any service with a different or predecessor employer.

	
Clawback

	
You hereby acknowledge and agree, as an officer, that this Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Colfax Corporation Clawback Policy as in effect from time to time (including potential recoupment thereunder), a current copy of which may be requested from the Company at any time, and the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

	
Delivery of Stock Pursuant to Units

	
Delivery of the shares of Stock represented by your vested Stock Units shall be made, on the basis of one share of Stock per each vested Stock Unit, as soon as practicable upon vesting and in any event not later than March 15th after the end of the calendar year in which they vest.

	
Withholding Taxes

	
You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of vesting in Stock Units or your acquisition of Stock under this grant. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to this grant, the Company will have the right to: (i) require that you arrange such payments to the Company, (ii) withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate, or (iii) cause an immediate forfeiture of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement in an amount equal to the withholding or other taxes due.

	
Change in Control/Business
Combination

	
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Change in Control occurs after the Grant Date and prior to the last vesting date, your Stock Units will immediately become 100% vested and the shares of Stock subject to them shall be delivered immediately prior to the Change in Control.

Notwithstanding the above provision and except as set forth immediately below, in connection with a Business Combination the result of which is that the Company’s shares of Stock are exchanged for or become exchangeable for securities of another entity, cash or a combination of both, if the entity resulting from such Business Combination does not assume these Stock Units and the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or replace these Stock Units with a substantially equivalent security of the entity resulting from such Business Combination, then the Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement will become 100% vested as of the day immediately prior to the date of such Business Combination and be payable in the form of shares of Stock, cash or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee.

	
Transfer of Stock Units

	
This Award and your Stock Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may this Award or the Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

Retention Rights

	
This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained or employed by the Company (or any Affiliates) in any capacity.  The Company (and any Affiliates) reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time for any reason.

	
Shareholder Rights

	
You do not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Stock Units unless and until the shares relating to the Stock Units has been delivered to you. You will, however, be entitled to receive, upon the Company’s payment of a cash dividend on outstanding Stock, a cash payment for each Stock Unit that you hold as of the record date for such dividend equal to the per share dividend paid on the Stock provided you are employed by the Company (or any Affiliate) on such payment date.

	
Forfeiture of Rights

	
If (i) while employed by the Company you should take actions in competition with the Company or (ii) while employed by the Company or during the twelve (12) month period immediately following your termination of employment with the Company you should take actions to, directly or indirectly, solicit or persuade, or attempt to solicit or persuade, any employee or independent contractor of Company or its Affiliates at the time of such contact to terminate or modify his or her employment or service relationship, whether or not pursuant to a written agreement, with the Company and its Affiliates, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your unvested Stock Units.

	
 

	
Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other agreement between the Company and you (including the Company’s Code of Ethics), you take actions in competition with the Company if you directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or are a proprietor, director, officer, stockholder, member, partner or an employee or agent of, or a consultant to any business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity which competes with any business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is engaged during your employment or other relationship with the Company or its Affiliates or at the time of your termination of Service. Under the prior sentence, ownership of less than 1% of the securities of a public company shall not be treated as an action in competition with the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event you primarily live and work for the Company in California, so long as you primarily reside in and are subject to the law of California, the restrictions on your post-employment conduct contained in this “Forfeiture of Rights” section – the noncompete, customer nonsolicit, and employee nonsolicit provisions shall not be applicable to you. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a restriction or forfeiture, or a comparable obligation that would be prohibited under applicable California law.

	
Adjustments

	
The Stock Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units may be adjusted or terminated in any manner contemplated by Section 17 of the Plan.

	
Amendment

	
The Committee has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel this Award, prospectively or retroactively; provided that no such amendment shall adversely affect your material rights under this Agreement without your consent.

	
Applicable Law

	
This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

	
The Plan

	
Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other agreement between the Company and you, this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award of Stock Units. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Award are superseded.

Section 409A

	
This Agreement, and any issuance of shares hereunder, is intended to comply and will be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Upon your Separation from Service (as defined below), the Company will determine whether any shares issued to you in accordance with this Agreement could be determined to be payments from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan and whether you are a “specified employee” as of the applicable payment date (each as defined by Section 409A). If you are determined to be a “specified employee” and any such payments are payable in connection with your Separation from Service, and are not exempt from Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral or otherwise, these payments, to the extent otherwise payable within six (6) months after your date of Separation from Service, will be paid in a lump sum on the earlier of: (i) the date that is six (6) months after your date of Separation from Service or (ii) the date of your death. The foregoing six (6) month delay will be applied if and only to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Separation from Service” means an anticipated permanent reduction in the level of bona fide services to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period. For purposes of Section 409A, the payments to be made to you in accordance with this Agreement will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

 

By accepting this Award in the manner established by the Company, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan.
