(b) Disability.

(d) Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, or at any time following a Non-Renewal by the Company. If during the Employment Period or at any time on or following the expiration of the Employment Period due to a notice non-renewal of the Employment Period by the Company to the Executive pursuant to Section 2, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) or the Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason pursuant to Section 6(a)(vi), the Company shall pay to the Executive (i) the Executive’s Base Salary and accrued unused vacation due through the Date of Termination and (ii) all Accrued Benefits, if any, to which the Executive is entitled as of the Date of Termination, in each case at the time such payments are due.

The Executive shall also be entitled to receive, subject to his compliance with the restrictive covenants in Section 8 and his execution and non-revocation of the Release, the following severance benefits (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”): (1) the Executive’s Base Salary, less all applicable payroll deductions, for twenty-four (24) months paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, (2) an amount equal to 200% of the target Incentive Bonus for the year of termination, less all applicable payroll deductions, paid in substantially equal proportionate installments for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, (3) a Partial Year Bonus (as described below) and (4) provided the Executive and his eligible dependents timely and properly elect to continue health care coverage under COBRA, the Executive and such eligible dependents shall be entitled to continue to participate in such basic medical insurance programs of the Company as in effect from time to time, on the same terms and conditions as applicable to active senior executives of the Company, and the Company shall pay for the employer portion of the premiums for such benefits for twenty-four (24) months or, if earlier, until the date the Executive becomes eligible to receive coverage from another Company or is otherwise no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines that its payment of the employer portion of the premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any other Code section, law or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the subsidized premiums described above, the Company shall instead pay a fully taxable monthly cash payment in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes on such payment, the Executive retains an amount equal to the Company’s portion of the applicable premiums for such month, with such monthly payment being made on the last day of each month for the remainder of the twenty-four (24) month period. A Partial Year Bonus is payable to the Executive for the year of the Executive’s employment termination in the event the Company performance criteria for payment of an Incentive Bonus are achieved as of the close of the year at the level required for a payout (as determined without any exercise of negative discretion unless such exercise is applicable to all “covered employees” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) with like force and effect). Should any such Partial Year Bonus become payable under this Agreement, payment shall be made to the Executive at the same time as payment is made to all other participants under the Incentive Bonus compensation program following the close of the year. Further, if during the Employment Period or at any time on or following the expiration of the Employment Period due to a notice non-renewal of the Employment Period by the Company to

Page 6 of 17

the Executive pursuant to Section 2, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) or the Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason pursuant to Section 6(a)(vi), then, subject to Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a Release, (A) the unvested non-qualified stock options and unvested restricted stock units that were granted to Executive by Colfax Corporation under the Colfax Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and Colfax Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Enovis Stock Plan”) in either 2020 or 2021 (and assumed by the Company and converted into awards under the Company’s 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan) will immediately become one hundred percent (100%) vested, and (B) Executive will be eligible to continue to vest a prorated amount, measured from the original grant date by Colfax Corporation to the Date of Termination, of outstanding performance stock units granted to Executive by Colfax Corporation under the Enovis Stock Plan in either 2020 or 2021 (and assumed by the Company and converted into awards under the Company’s 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan) as if Executive were still employed by the Company.

The amounts described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 7(d) will be paid in twenty-four (24) equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll schedule, beginning within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination, provided that Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s estate) has executed and delivered to the Company not later than forty-five (45) days following the date of termination a Release and the latest date on which the Release is subject to revocation has expired. To the extent that, as a result of the timing of the Executive’s return of the Release to the Company, any payroll date following the Date of Termination has elapsed without a payment being made, the missed installment payment(s) shall be made together with the first permitted installment payment of Severance Benefits hereunder (without interest). As to any amount described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 7(d) that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), if the sixty (60) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second (2nd) calendar year, payment shall always be paid in the second (2nd) calendar year. All payments of amounts described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 7(d) are subject to clawback by the Company in the event of any knowing breach by Executive of the provisions of Section 8 hereof.

(e) Section 409A. To the extent the Executive would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such tax and preserve to the maximum extent possible the original intent and economic benefit to the Executive and the Company, and the parties shall promptly execute any amendment reasonably necessary to implement this Section 7(g).

(i) For purposes of Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

(ii) The Executive will be deemed to have a Date of Termination for purposes of determining the timing of any payments or benefits hereunder that are classified as deferred compensation only upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

Page 7 of 17

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service, (i) the Executive is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable on account of such separation from service to the Executive constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A (the “Delay Period”), then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after such six-month period (or upon the Executive’s death, if earlier), together with interest for the period of delay, compounded annually, equal to the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) in effect as of the dates the payments should otherwise have been provided. To the extent that any benefits to be provided during the Delay Period are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A provided on account of a “separation from service,” and such benefits are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, the Executive shall pay the cost of such benefit during the Delay Period, and the Company shall reimburse the Executive, to the extent that such costs would otherwise have been paid by the Company or to the extent that such benefits would otherwise have been provided by the Company at no cost to the Executive, the Company’s share of the cost of such benefits upon expiration of the Delay Period, and any remaining benefits shall be reimbursed or provided by the Company in accordance with the procedures specified herein.

(iv) (A) Any amount that the Executive is entitled to be reimbursed under this Agreement will be reimbursed to the Executive as promptly as practical and in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred, (B) any right to reimbursement or in kind benefits will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) the amount of the expenses eligible for reimbursement during any taxable year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.

(v) Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

8. Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that during the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will have access to and may assist in developing Company Confidential Information and will occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to the Company’s affairs and business and the affairs and business of the Company subsidiaries and affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Confidential Information” means information known to the Executive to constitute confidential or proprietary information belonging to the Company or Company subsidiaries or affiliates or other non-public information, confidential financial information, operating budgets, strategic plans or research methods, personnel data, projects or plans, methods, techniques, technology, research, strategy, plans, customer or supplier information, customer or supplier lists, financial data, technical data, computer files, and computer

Page 8 of 17

software, including any of the foregoing that is in any stage of research, development, or planning, and any other information which the Executive obtained while employed by, or otherwise serving or acting on behalf of, the Company or which the Executive may possess or have under his control, that is not generally known (except for unauthorized disclosures) to the public or within the industry in which the Company does business. The Executive agrees that the following obligations are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Company Confidential Information and to protect the Company and Company subsidiaries and affiliates against harmful solicitation of employees and customers, harmful effects on operations and other actions by the Executive that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Company and Company subsidiaries and affiliates:

(a) Non-Disclosure. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and at all times thereafter, the Executive will not knowingly, directly or indirectly through an intermediary, use, disclose or transfer any Company Confidential Information other than (1) as authorized in writing by the Company or the Board, or (2) during such employment, is within the scope of the Executive’s duties with the Company as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 8(a) shall not apply (i) when disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order the Executive to disclose or make accessible any information; (ii) with respect to any other litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement; (iii) as to information that becomes generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of this Section 8(a); (iv) as to information that is or becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to the Executive; or (v) as to information that the Executive possessed prior to the commencement of employment with the Company. In the event the Executive is required or compelled by legal process to disclose any Company Confidential Information, he will immediately inform the Company so that the Company may present and preserve any objections that it may have to such disclosure and/or seek an appropriate protective order.

(b) Permitted Governmental Disclosures. The federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 immunizes employees against criminal and civil liability under federal or state trade secret laws – under certain circumstances – if Executive discloses a trade secret for the purpose of reporting a suspected violation of law. Pursuant to such Act, immunity is available if Executive discloses a trade secret in either of these two circumstances: (1) Executive discloses the trade secret (a) in confidence, (b) directly or indirectly to a government official (federal, state or local) or to a lawyer, (c) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a legal proceeding, Executive discloses the trade secret in the complaint or other documents filed in the case, so long as the document is filed “under seal” (meaning that it is not accessible to the public). Further, nothing in this Employment Agreement prohibits Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, and any federal Inspector General, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Executive does not need prior authorization to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Company or the Board that he has made such reports or disclosures.

(c) Materials. The Executive will not remove, directly or indirectly through an intermediary, any Company Confidential Information or any other property of the Company from the Company’s premises or make copies of such materials except for normal and customary use in the Company’s business as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. The Executive will return to the Company all Company Confidential Information and copies thereof, including but not limited to computer data, files, software, and hardware, and all other property of the Company at any time upon the request of the Company and to the extent consistent with the Executive’s ability to perform his duties hereunder, and in any event promptly after termination of Executive’s employment.

(d) Non-Solicitation. During the Non-Solicitation Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly through an intermediary, (i) solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the Company or any Company subsidiary (or who was so employed within twelve (12) months prior to the Executive’s action, other than any such individual whose employment was involuntarily terminated by the Company or any Company subsidiary) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or to become employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the Company or a Company subsidiary, and the Executive shall not hire, directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, any such person, or (ii) solicit, induce or encourage any client or customer of the Company or any Company subsidiary, or any person or entity who was a client or customer within twelve (12) months prior to the Executive’s action, to terminate, reduce or alter in a manner adverse to the Company or any Company subsidiary any existing business arrangements with the Company or any Company subsidiary or to transfer existing business from the Company or any Company subsidiary to any other person or entity. “Non-Solicitation Period” shall mean the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and the thirty-six (36) months following the Date of Termination; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that a thirty-six (36) month Non-Solicitation Period is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that a twenty-four (24) month Non-Solicitation Period is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and eighteen (18) months immediately following the Date of Termination; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that a eighteen (18) month Non-Solicitation Period is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and twelve (12) months immediately following the Date of Termination.

(e) Non-Competition.

(i) During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly through an intermediary, anywhere in the Territory or any other jurisdiction in which the Company is engaged or has reasonably firm plans to engage in the manufacture and/or sale of fabrication technology products and services that are produced by the Company or an Affiliate or that are competitive with any of the fabrication technology products and services that are produced by the Company, or an Affiliate, any other products actively produced by the Company or an Affiliate at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, or under active development by the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Business”), (A) be

Page 10 of 17

engaged by, or have a financial or any other interest in, any corporation, firm, partnership, proprietorship or other business entity or enterprise, whether as a principal, agent, employee, director, consultant, stockholder, partner or in any other capacity, which competes with the Business, or competed with the Business during the Executive’s tenure with the Company, or (B) own an interest in any entity described in subsection (A) immediately above; provided, however, that the Executive may own, as a passive investor, securities of any such entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities so long as his direct holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 3% of the voting power of such entity and does not otherwise violate any Company policy applicable to the Executive. The Executive agrees that, before providing services, whether as an employee or consultant or in any other capacity, to any entity during the Restriction Period, he will provide a copy of the restrictive covenants sections of this Agreement to such entity and authorizes the Company to provide a copy of the restrictive covenants sections of this Agreement to third parties, including but not limited to, the Executive’s subsequent, anticipated or possible future employer. The Executive acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company, that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood for the Executive while such covenant remains in force and that, as a result of the foregoing, in the event that the Executive breaches such covenant, monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for the Company and equitable enforcement of the covenant would be proper. “Restriction Period” shall mean the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and the twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that a twenty-four (24) month Restriction Period is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Restriction Period shall be the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and eighteen (18) months immediately following the Date of Termination; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that a eighteen (18) month Restriction Period is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Restriction Period shall be the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and twelve (12) months immediately following the Date of Termination. “Territory” means the United States of America; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that the United States of America is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Territory shall be those locations in the United States of America in which the Company or an Affiliate is operating; except that if a court or arbitrator finds that the foregoing states are not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, the Territory shall be the state(s) or geographic area(s) in which Executive was assigned for management or operational responsibility on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate as of the Date of Termination.

(ii) If the restrictions contained in Sections 8(c) or 8(d)(i) shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, that section shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable.

(f) Compliance with Company’s Policies. The Executive agrees to observe and comply with the policies and rules of the Company unless such compliance is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Non-Disparagement. Executive shall not, at any time during the term and thereafter make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be damaging to the Company, its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations, nor shall members of the Board of Directors or Company officers make any statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action, which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be damaging to the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive, members of the Board of Directors or officers from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

(h) Cooperation. The parties agree that certain matters in which the Executive will be involved during the Employment Period may necessitate the Executive’s cooperation in the future. Accordingly, during the twelve-month period following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company and its counsel, in connection with matters arising out of or relating in any way to the Executive’s service to the Company, including information requests relating to the business or affairs of the Company, as well as any investigation, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding related to the business or affairs of the Company; provided that, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of the Executive’s other activities. The cooperation includes the Executive making himself available for reasonable periods of time upon reasonable notice to the Executive in any such litigation or investigation and providing testimony before or during such litigation or investigation. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

(i) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that in the event of any breach of this Section 8, the business interests of the Company will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Company, and the Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond or security, which the Executive expressly waives. The Executive understands that the Company may waive some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company’s right to enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that each of the Executive’s obligations specified in this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. The Executive further agrees that any breach of this Agreement by the Company prior to the Date of Termination shall not release the Executive from compliance with his obligations under this Section 8.

9. Parachute Limitations. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive (including, without limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment), whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement, or otherwise (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 9, be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the 280G Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to the Executive of the 280G Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the 280G Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the 280G Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount, the “Reduced Amount”). “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the 280G Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes. Any such reduction shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:

(a) the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first; and

(b) all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments; and (B) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date.

All calculations and determinations under this Section 9 shall be made by an independent accounting firm or independent tax counsel appointed by the Company (the “Tax Counsel”) whose determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Executive for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations required by this Section 9, the Tax Counsel may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish the Tax Counsel with such information and documents as the Tax Counsel may reasonably request in order to make its determinations under this Section 9. The Company shall bear all costs the Tax Counsel may reasonably incur in connection with its services.

10. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the maximum extent that its officers, directors and employees are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and any indemnification agreements then in force, subject to applicable law. The Executive shall also be covered as an insured under any contract of directors and officers liability insurance to the same extent as such contract covers members of the Board. The Executive’s rights under this Section 10 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and any termination of the Executive’s employment for all periods thereafter during which the Executive may be subject to liability for any acts or omissions occurring during his employment or service as a member of the Board that is otherwise subject to indemnification and coverage under directors and officers liability insurance.

11. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, or other communications which may be or are required to be given or made by any party to any other party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered, mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, delivered by overnight air courier, addressed as follows:
