                      discretion, directly or indirectly engage in, consult,
                      have any equity interest in, or manage or operate any
                      person, firm, corporation, partnership or business

                      representative, partner, security holder, consultant or
                      otherwise) that engages in any business which competes
                      with any material business of Company anywhere in the
                      world (as conducted during the term of this engagement),
                      PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (A) Consultant, Cypress, and
                      Cypress Industrial shall be permitted to acquire stock or
                      membership interests in such an entity provided the entity
                      is publicly traded and the acquired interest is not more

                      in which Consultant, Cypress, Cypress Industrial or other
                      entities affiliated with Consultant hold stock or
                      membership interests immediately prior to the Effective

<Page>

                      Date (including without limitation, stock in Colfax, Inc.
                      and related entities), or invested prior to the Effective
                      Date; or

               (ii)   solicit or accept, if offered, with or without
                      solicitation, on Consultant's, Cypress', or Cypress

                      services of any person who is an employee of Company, nor
                      solicit any of Company's employees to terminate employment
                      with Company (it being understood that the foregoing shall
                      not apply to employees solicited or hired without the
                      Consultant's knowledge and shall not preclude Cypress,
                      Cypress Industrial or other companies or businesses
                      associated with the Consultant from soliciting employees
                      generally through newspaper or other mass media
                      advertising or hiring employees who respond to such
                      solicitation).

          b.   In the event the terms of this SECTION 7 shall be determined by
any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because the provision
extends for too great a period of time, over too great a geographical area, or
for any other reason, the provision shall be interpreted to extend only over the
maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, and/or over the maximum
geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent
in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by
such court in such action.

          c.   For purposes of this SECTION 7, the term "COMPANY" shall include
Company and each of its affiliates.

     8. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; SURVIVAL.

          a.   Consultant, Cypress and Cypress Industrial recognize and
acknowledge that a breach of the covenants contained in SECTION 6 and SECTION 7
will cause irreparable damage to Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of
which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law
for any breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Consultant, Cypress and Cypress
Industrial agree that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained
in SECTION 6 and SECTION 7, in addition to any other remedy which may be
available at law or in equity, Company will be entitled to specific performance
and injunctive relief.

          b.   The rights and obligations of the parties arising under SECTION 6
and SECTION 7 of this Agreement shall survive, and will not be impaired by, the
expiration of Consultant's engagement by Company.

     9. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees that during the term of this
Agreement and following the time Consultant's and Cypress' relationship with the
Company is terminated, Consultant, Cypress and Cypress Industrial shall be
entitled to receive indemnification from time to time from the Company in
accordance with the Company's charter, bylaws and applicable law to the extent
Consultant, Cypress or Cypress Industrial (each such person, for purposes of
this SECTION 9, an "INDEMNITEE" and collectively the "INDEMNITEES")become
subject to suits, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings or
investigations or would otherwise be entitled to or could seek indemnification
thereunder in respect of matters which involve actions Consultant or

                                        5
<Page>

Cypress have taken or omitted to take prior to the date their relationship with
the Company terminates in their capacity as an employee, officer, director,
consultant or agent of or to the Company. The Company shall provide such
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by its charter, bylaws and
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of and in addition to the
foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by its charter, bylaws and applicable
law, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless for,
from and against all demands, suits, claims, actions or causes of action,
assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, judgments, proceedings,
investigations and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) ("Losses"), imposed on or incurred
by the Indemnitees relating to Consultant's or Cypress' relationship with the
Company, including by reason of actions or omissions taken or made by Consultant
or Cypress during the term of this Agreement. The Company will also advance
reasonable fees and expenses to the Indemnitees to the maximum extent permitted
by law to the extent the Indemnitees become subject to or involved in any suit,
claim, action, cause of action, proceeding or investigation involving the
Company, PROVIDED that each such person agrees and undertakes to reimburse the
Company for all expenses paid by the Company to such Indemnitee pursuant hereto
in the event and only to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled, under the
provisions of the Company's charter, bylaws, this Agreement, applicable law, or
otherwise, to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses, or if Indemnitee
receives reimbursement of such expenses from any other source.

          Promptly after receipt by any Indemnitee of notice of the commencement
of any action, suit, or proceeding, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the
Company of the commencement thereof. The failure of such Indemnitee to notify
the Company shall have no effect on the obligations of the Company hereunder
except if, and only to the extent that, the Company suffers actual prejudice or
material loss resulting from such failure. The Company will be entitled to
participate in any such action, suit or proceeding at its own expense. Except as
otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to such Indemnitee of its election to
assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof except as otherwise
provided below. The Indemnitees shall have the right to employ counsel in such
action, suit, or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred
after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be
at the expense of the Indemnitees (and not subject to indemnification or
reimbursement hereunder) unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitees
has been authorized by the Company, (b) the Indemnitees shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the
Indemnitees in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (c) the Company
shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in
each of which cases the fees and expenses of one counsel acting on behalf of the
Indemnitees shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be
entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding brought by or
on behalf of the Company. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without the Company's written consent. The Company shall not
settle any such action or claim in any manner without such Indemnitee's written
consent. Neither the Company nor any Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its
or his consent to any proposed settlement.

the Consultant. This Agreement shall be binding upon Company, Consultant and
their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives,
executors, administrators, heirs, distributes, devisees, and legatees, as

                            NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

     THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is dated as of November
25, 2002 by and between Invensys plc, a corporation organized under the laws of
England and Wales, having its registered office at Invensys House, Carlisle
Place, London, SW1P1 BX ("INVENSYS") and RBS Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("PURCHASER").

     WHEREAS, Purchaser, Invensys and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of
Invensys entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of
September 27, 2002 (with all addenda thereto, the "STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
providing for the acquisition by Purchaser of the Shares. Capitalized terms
used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     WHEREAS, Invensys, through the operations of the Companies and the
Subsidiaries, was engaged in the conduct of the Rexnord Business prior to the
Closing Date.

     WHEREAS, it was contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement that Invensys
would, and would cause its Affiliates to, agree to refrain from competing with
Purchaser, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     WHEREAS, Invensys understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect
and preserve the going concern value of the Rexnord Business to the extent
permitted by law and that Purchaser would not have entered into the Stock
Purchaser Agreement absent the provisions of this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants, agreements and understandings contained herein and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which hereby
are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. PURCHASE PRICE. In consideration of the covenants and agreements
contained in Sections 2, 3, and 4 below, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay
Invensys Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Invensys in
writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

     2. NON-COMPETITION. (a) Invensys hereby covenants and agrees that:

               (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, for a period of four (4)
years immediately following the Closing Date, Invensys shall not, and shall
cause its Affiliates (including, subject to Section 2(a)(ii) below, those
Persons that become Affiliates during the four (4) years following the Closing
Date) not to, engage in

<Page>

activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, that compete with the
Rexnord Business as it was conducted as of the Closing anywhere in the world.
Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Invensys, or any Affiliate of Invensys,
from being a passive owner of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding
stock or any class of securities of a corporation or other entity which is
publicly traded and which would otherwise constitute a Competing Business (as
such term is defined herein).

               (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a)(i), Invensys
or any Affiliate (including those Persons that become Affiliates during the four
(4) years following the Closing Date), may acquire control of an entity (an
"ACQUIRED ENTITY") which engages in a business that competes with the Rexnord
Business (a "COMPETING BUSINESS"), if the Acquired Entity derived not more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of its revenues during its most recent fiscal year
prior to acquisition by Invensys or an Affiliate from the Competing Business;
PROVIDED, THAT Invensys shall, within six months following the closing of the
acquisition of the Acquired Entity, commence to negotiate in good faith with
Purchaser for the sale of the Competing Business to (in Purchaser's discretion)
Purchaser, any Company or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in the
event that Invensys or an Affiliate engages in a bona fide solicitation of
offers to purchase the Competing Business from one or more third parties,
Invensys shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation to commence to
negotiate in good faith with Purchaser if it provides Purchaser with an
opportunity to participate in such solicitation process on the same terms and
conditions applicable to any other third party. For the avoidance of doubt,
Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Invensys
commences to negotiate in good faith with Purchaser for the sale of the
Competing Business as required in this Section 2(a)(ii), and the parties are
unable to reach a mutually acceptable agreement with respect to such sale,
Invensys shall be entitled to retain and operate the Competing Business.

          (b)  (i)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Invensys and any of its Affiliates shall
be permitted to engage each of the businesses and activities identified on
ANNEX A.

               (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if any third party not currently an Affiliate of Invensys as of the date hereof
acquires, prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, (A) fifty percent
(50%) or more of the voting securities of Invensys, including by way of merger
or any other business combination with Invensys or (B) all or substantially all
assets of Invensys, then, nothing in this Agreement shall: (y) be a limitation
on any activities of such acquiring party or any entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with such acquiring party
(other than Invensys or Invensys' Affiliates who are acquired and are subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, who shall remain subject to the provisions of
this Agreement through the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date) or (z) give
rise to any obligation of Invensys with respect to the activities of such
acquiring party or any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by
or under common control with such acquiring party (other than Invensys or
Invensys' Affiliates who are

                                                                               2
<Page>

acquired and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement at the time of such
acquisition).

          (c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and, therefore, in
the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is
held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction because of the duration or scope
thereof, the parties hereto agree that the court or panel or arbitrators making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such
provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement
in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted
by law, but no such reduction shall affect the enforceability of the express
terms hereof in any other jurisdiction.

     3. NON-SOLICITATION. Invensys hereby covenants and agrees that for a period
of two (2) years following the Closing Date that it shall not, and shall cause
its Affiliates (including those Persons that become Affiliates during the two
(2) years following the Closing Date) not to: (a) solicit, entice, persuade or
induce any of the individuals listed on ANNEX B to terminate his or her
employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates; (b) solicit the employment of any
such individual; (c) approach any such individual for any of the foregoing
purposes; or (d) assist in taking such actions by any third party, in each case
without the prior written consent of Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this
Agreement shall not prohibit soliciting the employment of any such individual
who has been terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates; and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that the placement of advertisements in newspapers or journals of general
circulation not directed or targeted to any such individual shall not constitute
solicitation for purposes of this Section 3.

     4. NON-HIRE. Invensys hereby covenants and agrees that for a period of two
(2) years following the Closing Date that it shall not, and shall cause its
Affiliates (including those Persons that become Affiliates during the two (2)
years following the Closing Date) not to: (a) hire any of the individuals listed
on ANNEX C; (b) approach any such individual for the foregoing purpose; or (c)
assist in taking such actions by any third party, in each case without the prior
written consent of Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Agreement shall not
prohibit hiring of any such individual who has been terminated by Purchaser or
its Affiliates.

     5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Invensys acknowledges that the restrictions on its
activities under this Agreement are necessary for the reasonable protection of
Purchaser and constitute a material inducement to Purchaser's entering into and
performing its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. Invensys further
acknowledges, stipulates and agrees that a breach of any of such obligations and
agreements will result in irreparable harm and continuing damage to Purchaser
for which there will be no adequate remedy at law and further agrees that in the
event of any breach of said obligations and agreements, Purchaser and its
successors and assigns will be entitled to injunctive relief and to such other
relief as is proper under the circumstances.

                                                                               3
