TAX MATTERS AGREEMENT

THIS TAX MATTERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 26, 2015, by and between SPX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SPX” or “Infrastructurco”), and SPX FLOW, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPX (“Flowco”) (each a “Party” and together, the “Parties”).

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, SPX currently conducts the Infrastructurco Business and the Flowco Business directly and through its Subsidiaries, and is the common parent of an affiliated group (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code) of corporations filing a consolidated return for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “SPX Consolidated Group”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of SPX has determined that it is in the best interests of SPX and its stockholders to separate SPX into two separate, publicly traded companies: (i) Infrastructurco, which will continue to conduct, directly and through its Subsidiaries, the Infrastructurco Business, and (ii) Flowco, which will continue to conduct, directly and through its Subsidiaries, the Flowco Business;

WHEREAS, in order to effect such separation, (i) SPX and certain of its Subsidiaries have effectuated the transactions described in the Reorganization Step Plan that precede the completion of the Flowco Asset Transfer and the Distribution (such transactions, the “Restructuring”); (ii) pursuant to the Reorganization Step Plan and that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into as of September 22, 2015, by and between SPX and Flowco (the “Separation Agreement”), SPX has transferred and has caused certain of its Subsidiaries to, transfer (directly or indirectly) the Flowco Assets to Flowco in exchange for (a) the actual or constructive the issuance by Flowco to SPX of shares of the common stock of Flowco, (b) the substitution of Flowco for SPX as the obligor under the Notes, and corresponding issuance and delivery by Flowco of the Flowco Global Note, and (c) the assumption by Flowco (directly or indirectly) of the Flowco Liabilities (the transactions described in this clause (ii), the “Flowco Asset Transfer”); (iii) a portion of the proceeds of the Flowco Financing Arrangements was used, at SPX’s direction, to retire an equal amount of SPX’s outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; and (iv) SPX will distribute all of the common stock of Flowco to the holders of SPX Common Stock as of the Record Date on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”);

WHEREAS, the Distribution is motivated in whole or substantial part by the corporate business purposes of (i) allowing investors to separately value each company based on its distinct investment identity, (ii) allowing each company to more effectively pursue its distinct operating priorities and strategies and opportunities for long-term growth and profitability in its respective markets, (iii) allowing each company to more directly tie incentive compensation arrangements for its employees to the performance of its business and the achievement of its strategic objectives, enhancing employee hiring and retention, (iv) permitting each company to implement a capital structure appropriate to its strategy and business needs and to concentrate its financial resources solely on its own operations without having to compete with the other company’s businesses for investment capital, and (v) providing each company increased strategic flexibility to make acquisitions and form partnerships and alliances in its target markets, unencumbered by consideration of the potential impact on or of the businesses of the other company, including by allowing each company to effect future acquisitions using its own stock for all or part of the consideration, the value of which will be more closely aligned with the performance of its businesses, and unaffected by the businesses of the other company;

WHEREAS, the Parties intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for (i) certain steps of the Restructuring to qualify as tax-free transactions; (ii) the Flowco Asset Transfer to qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code; (iii) the substitution of Flowco for SPX as the obligor under the Notes to be treated, consistent with the IRS Ruling, as an issuance by Flowco to SPX of

“securities” (within the meaning of Section 361(a) of the Code) in partial consideration for the Flowco Asset Transfer (in an exchange governed by Section 361(a) of the Code), followed by a distribution by SPX of such securities to holders of the Notes in exchange for the Notes (in an exchange governed by Section 355(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code); and (iv) the Distribution to qualify as a transaction described in Section 355(a) of the Code;

WHEREAS, as a result of the Distribution, the Flowco Entities that were members of the SPX Consolidated Group will cease to be members of the SPX Consolidated Group (the “Deconsolidation”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties intend in this Agreement to allocate economic responsibility for Taxes arising prior to, as a result of, and subsequent to the Distribution, and to provide for and agree upon certain other matters relating to Taxes.

(iii)                               any Taxes attributable to a Flowco Prohibited Event, but only if such Taxes exceed, in the aggregate, $100,000 (in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, Flowco shall be responsible for all such Taxes).

Section 2.2                           Entitlement to Refunds.  Refunds shall be allocated between the Parties as follows:

(a)                                 Infrastructurco shall be entitled to any Refund in respect of Taxes for which Infrastructurco is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1(a), except to the extent such Refund is attributable to a Permitted Carryback.

(b)                                 Flowco shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any such Tax Return required by Law to be filed by a Flowco Entity, and shall pay or cause to be paid any Taxes shown to be due and owing thereon;

provided, however, that, in the case of any such consolidated or combined tax return, each non-filing entity included in such tax return shall, at the request of the filing entity, prepare and deliver to the filing entity any supporting tax returns or other documents that relate to such non-filing entity and are necessary to the preparation of such consolidated or combined tax return; and

provided, further, that (x) Flowco shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any such Tax Return relating to sales or use taxes, and (y) Infrastructurco shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any such Tax Return relating to unclaimed property or escheat taxes.

Section 3.2                           Consistent with Past Practice.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, and except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, each Tax Return described in Section 3.1 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Past Practice.

Section 3.3                           Closing of Flowco Taxable Year.  Infrastructurco and Flowco shall use reasonable best efforts to close the taxable year of each Flowco Entity for all U.S. federal and state income tax purposes as of the end of the Distribution Date, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 3.4                           Carrybacks.  Except to the extent otherwise consented to by Infrastructurco or prohibited by applicable Law, Flowco shall cause each Flowco Entity to elect to relinquish, waive or otherwise forego the carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Distribution Period to any Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period (a “Carryback”).  In the event that a Flowco Entity is permitted under the preceding sentence to effect a Carryback (such Carryback, a “Permitted Carryback”), Infrastructurco shall cooperate with Flowco in seeking any corresponding Refund; provided, however, that Flowco shall indemnify and hold the Infrastructurco Entities harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by such Permitted Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by an Infrastructurco Entity if (a) such Tax Attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carryback, or (b) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later taxable period than the taxable period in which such Tax Attributes would have been utilized but for such Carryback.

Section 3.5                           Tax Attributes.

(a)                                 Infrastructurco and Flowco shall, prior to any relevant Due Date, jointly determine in good faith the allocation of Tax Attributes arising in Pre-Distribution Periods and in existence immediately after the Effective Time between Infrastructurco Entities and Flowco Entities in accordance with applicable Law, including Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-

8

9T(c), 1.1502-21, 1.1502-21T, 1.1502-22, 1.1502-79 and, if applicable, 1.1502-79A (and any applicable state, local and foreign Laws); provided, however, that:

(i)                                     earnings and profits shall be allocated in accordance with Code Section 312(h) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.312-10(a);

(ii)                                  any earnings and profits allocated to any Flowco Entity shall include both non-previously taxed income within the meaning of Code Section 959(c)(3) and previously taxed income (as defined in Code Section 959(a));

(iii)                               Infrastructurco shall be entitled to make any determination as to (A) basis, and (B) valuation, and shall make such determination consistent with Past Practice, where applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, any previously taxed income (as defined in Code Section 959(a)) in existence immediately after the Effective Time shall be allocated to the corporation to which such previously taxed income is attributable for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any successor to such corporation). Infrastructurco and Flowco hereby agree to compute all Taxes for Post-Distribution Periods consistently with the determination of the allocation of Tax Attributes pursuant to this Section 3.5(a) unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

(b)                                 To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Taxing Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 3.5(a), except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 3.6                           Treatment of Deductions Associated with Equity-Related Compensation.

(a)                                 From and after the Distribution Date, only the current or most recent employer of the relevant employee may claim any Tax deduction in respect of any equity award or other incentive compensation of such employee described in Section 4.03 (“Treatment of Outstanding Equity Incentive Awards”) of the Employee Matters Agreement, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b)                                 If, as a result of a Final Determination, an Infrastructurco Entity or Flowco Entity realizes a Tax Benefit from a deduction to which a Flowco Entity or Infrastructurco Entity, respectively, is entitled pursuant to Section 3.6(a), then Infrastructurco or Flowco, as the case may be, shall pay or cause to be paid to Flowco or Infrastructurco, respectively, an amount equal to the value of such Tax Benefit (determined on a with and without basis), such payment to be made promptly after filing the Tax Return on which such Tax Benefit is reflected.

Section 3.7                           Review Rights—Material Adverse Effect.  If a Tax Return prepared by an Infrastructurco Entity or a Flowco Entity pursuant to Section 3.1 takes a position that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any Flowco Entity or any Infrastructurco Entity, respectively, the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return under Section 3.1 shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return (or of the relevant portions of such Tax Return) to the non-preparing Party for its review and comment, such delivery to be made a reasonable amount of time prior to the Due Date (it being understood and agreed that in the case of any such Tax Return for U.S. federal Income Taxes or other material Taxes, “a reasonable amount of time” means at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date).  The Parties shall attempt to resolve any

9

dispute regarding the preparation of such Tax Return through good faith negotiation before resorting to the dispute resolution procedures contained in Section 8.1.  In the event that any such dispute is not resolved prior to the Due Date, the Tax Return shall be timely filed and subsequently amended as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute.

Section 3.8                           Review Rights and Reimbursement—Taxes for Which Non-Preparing Party is Responsible.  If a Tax Return prepared by an Infrastructurco Entity or a Flowco Entity pursuant to Section 3.1 reflects Taxes for which Flowco or Infrastructurco, respectively, is responsible under Section 2.1, the Party responsible for preparing such Tax Return under Section 3.1 shall deliver a draft of such Tax Return (or of the relevant portions of such Tax Return), together with a written calculation of the amount of Taxes reflected thereon for which the non-preparing Party is responsible under Section 2.1, to the non-preparing Party for its review and comment, such delivery to be made a reasonable amount of time prior to the Due Date (it being understood and agreed that in the case of any such Tax Return for U.S. federal Income Taxes or other material Taxes, “a reasonable amount of time” means at least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date).  The non-preparing Party shall pay the preparing Party the amount of Taxes for which the non-preparing Party is responsible under Section 2.1 at least two (2) business days before the Due Date for the payment of such Taxes (whether or not the non-preparing Party disputes such amount).  The Parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute regarding the preparation of such Tax Return or the amount of Taxes reflected thereon for which the non-preparing Party is responsible under Section 2.1 through good faith negotiation before resorting to the dispute resolution procedures contained in Section 8.1.  In the event that any such dispute is not resolved prior to the Due Date, the Tax Return shall be timely filed and subsequently amended as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute, and/or the preparing Party shall return to the non-preparing Party any amounts paid by the non-preparing Party but which are determined to be the responsibility of the preparing Party under Section 2.1, as applicable.

Section 3.9                           Refund Payments.  A Party that receives a Refund to which the other Party is entitled in whole or in part under Section 2.2 shall pay to the other Party the portion to which the other Party is entitled, net of any Taxes or other costs (other than Tax Return preparation expenses) incurred by the preparing Party in connection with the receipt or accrual of such Refund and attributable to such portion, within ten (10) days after (a) receipt of the Refund in cash or (b) the filing of the relevant Tax Return (in the case of a Refund that is a credit against payment of future Taxes).

Section 3.10                    Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses in preparing any Tax Return governed by Section 3.1.

Section 3.11                    German Tax Payment.  To the extent required by German law, SPX U.L.M. GmbH shall contribute cash to SPX Cooling Technologies Leipzig GmbH equal to the amount of the combined tax loss sustained by Infrastructurco Entities organized under German law.  In the event SPX U.L.M. GmbH contributes cash to SPX Cooling Technologies Leipzig GmbH pursuant to the previous sentence, Infrastructurco shall, at the same time, make a payment of equivalent amount to Flowco.

transactions), whether such transaction is supported by management or shareholders, is a hostile acquisition, or otherwise, that would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in stock ownership, result in a direct or indirect acquisition (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) of 40% or more of (1) the value of all outstanding shares of stock or (2) the total combined voting power of all outstanding shares of voting stock, in either case, of Flowco, as of the date of such transaction, or in the case of a series of transactions, the date of the last transaction in such series, or (B) with respect to Infrastructurco, permit to occur any transaction or series of transactions (or any agreement, understanding or arrangement, within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to enter into a transaction or series of transactions), whether such transaction is supported by management or shareholders, is a hostile acquisition, or otherwise, that would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in stock ownership, result in a direct or indirect acquisition (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) of 40% or more of (1) the value of all outstanding shares of stock or (2) the total combined voting power of all outstanding shares of voting stock, in either case, of Infrastructurco, as of the date of such transaction, or in the case of a series of transactions, the date of the last transaction in such series; or

(v)                                 (A) with respect to Flowco, take or permit to be taken by any Flowco Entity any other action that (1) would be inconsistent with any fact presented or statement or representation made in the Tax Materials or any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or (2) adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, or (B) with respect to Infrastructurco, take or permit to be taken by any Infrastructurco Entity any other action that (1) would be inconsistent with any fact presented or statement or representation made in the Tax Materials or any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or (2) adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions;

provided, however, that the following actions shall not be taken into account for purposes of this Section 4.2(a) (and shall be excluded from the definition of “Prohibited Event”):

(vi)                              any repurchase by Flowco or by Infrastructurco of stock of Flowco or Infrastructurco, respectively, that (A) satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30, 1996-1 C.B. 696 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48, 2003-2 C.B. 86), (B) could not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, and (C) is not an acquisition that would be taken into account in applying Section 355(e)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code;

(vii)                           any adoption of, or issuance of stock pursuant to, a shareholder rights plan that is described in or is similar to the shareholder rights plan described in Revenue Ruling 90-11, 1990-1 C.B. 10; and

12

(viii)                        any issuance of stock that satisfies Safe Harbor VIII (relating to acquisitions in connection with a person’s performance of services) or Safe Harbor IX (relating to acquisitions by a retirement plan of an employer) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d).

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the general prohibition imposed by Section 4.2(a), either Party may cause or permit to occur a Prohibited Event if (i) such Party has provided to the other Party an Unqualified Tax Opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, that such Prohibited Event will not adversely affect the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, (ii) such Party has received a private letter ruling from the IRS that such Prohibited Event will not adversely affect the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, or (iii) the other Party has consented in writing to such Prohibited Event; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, a Party’s satisfaction of the conditions described in this Section 4.2(b) shall not affect such Party’s responsibility under Section 2.1 for any Taxes attributable to such Prohibited Event.  In determining whether an Unqualified Tax Opinion is satisfactory, the other Party may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any assumptions or representations supporting such Unqualified Tax Opinion and the strength of any reasoning contained therein.

Section 4.3                           Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings.

(a)                                 Neither Infrastructurco nor Flowco may seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Taxing Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Restructuring, the Flowco Asset Transfer, the Distribution or the Deconsolidation without the other Party’s prior written consent (which may not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld).  The Parties shall cooperate in good faith regarding any such request for guidance undertaken with such consent.

(b)                                 Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with any reasonable request made by the other Party in connection with any attempt by such other Party to secure an Unqualified Tax Opinion regarding a Prohibited Event.

Section 4.4                           Protective Section 336(e) Elections.  Infrastructurco and Flowco shall make a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code (and any similar election under state or local law) in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.336-2(h) and (j) (and any applicable provisions under state and local law), and shall cooperate in the timely completion and/or filings of such elections and any related filings or procedures (including filing or amending any Tax Returns to implement a protective election that becomes effective) and the execution of any necessary agreements, with respect to (i) the Distribution and (ii) such qualified stock dispositions of Subsidiaries of Flowco as Flowco shall designate resulting from the asset sales deemed to occur pursuant to the protective elections under Section 336(e) of the Code contemplated by this Section 4.4.  This Section 4.4 is intended to constitute a binding, written agreement to make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code with respect to the Distribution.  To the extent the protective elections contemplated by this Section 4.4 result in Tax Benefits, Section 2.4 contains a payment obligation with respect to such Tax Benefits in certain cases.

Section 4.5                           Consistent Reporting.  Each of Infrastructurco and Flowco covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Proceeding or otherwise that is

13

inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions or the IRS Ruling, notwithstanding any other provision herein, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a Final Determination.

ARTICLE V
TAX PROCEEDINGS

Section 5.1                           Notice.  Within ten (10) days after a Party or any of its Affiliates becomes aware of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding that (a) reasonably could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the other Party, (b) relates to Taxes or a Refund for which the other Party is responsible or to which the other Party is entitled under ARTICLE II, or (c) relates to Spin-Off Taxes or a Prohibited Event, such Party shall notify the other in writing of such Tax Proceeding, and shall promptly forward or make available copies of any written communications with a Taxing Authority in connection with such Tax Proceeding.  Any failure of a Party to comply with the preceding sentence shall not relieve the other Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that such Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 5.2                           Conduct.

(a)                                 General Rule.  To the extent feasible and requested by either Party, control of the conduct of any Tax Proceeding described in Section 5.1 shall be divided between the Parties in accordance with each Party’s economic interest in such Tax Proceeding, taking into account any indemnification obligations and the other provisions of this Agreement (e.g., each Party shall be entitled to control the conduct of any aspects of such Tax Proceeding that relate primarily to Taxes for which such Party is responsible under Section 2.1).  The Parties shall cooperate in good faith regarding any procedural or other aspects of such Tax Proceeding that do not implicate the economic interests of one Party disproportionately, and any disputes regarding the application of this Section 5.2(a) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8.1.

(b)                                 Alternative Procedure.  If division of control of a Tax Proceeding as contemplated by Section 5.2(a) is not feasible, the Party whose economic interest in such Tax Proceeding is greater, taking into account any indemnification obligations and the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding.

(c)                                  Notice and Participation Rights.  The Party that controls the conduct of any Tax Proceeding (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) shall, to the extent requested by the other Party:

(i)                                     keep the other Party reasonably and timely informed regarding such Tax Proceeding (or portion thereof);

(ii)                                  permit the other Party to attend any formally scheduled meetings with a Taxing Authority in relating to such Tax Proceeding (or portion thereof); and

(iii)                               not settle such Tax Proceeding (or portion thereof) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

14

(d)                                 Power of Attorney.  Infrastructurco shall execute and deliver to Flowco (or Flowco’s designee) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Flowco in connection with any Tax Proceeding regarding a Flowco Prohibited Event.

ARTICLE VI
COOPERATION

Section 6.1                           General Cooperation.  Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide such cooperation or information relating to any Tax, Refund, Tax Return or Tax Proceeding as the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) reasonably requests in writing, including by making its employees, advisors, and facilities available, without charge, on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis.

Section 6.2                           Retention of Records.  Each Infrastructurco Entity and Flowco Entity shall retain or cause to be retained all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records or other documents relating thereto in their possession, until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any waivers or extensions thereof) of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate or until the expiration of any additional period that either Party reasonably requests, in writing, with respect to specific material records and documents. A Party (or Affiliate thereof) intending to destroy any material records or documents shall provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to copy or take possession of such records and documents.  Either Party shall notify the other in writing of any waivers or extensions of the applicable statute of limitations that may affect the period for which the foregoing records or other documents must be retained.

Section 7.2                           Indemnification by Infrastructurco.  Infrastructurco shall indemnify and hold the Flowco Entities harmless from and against, without duplication, all Taxes for which Infrastructurco is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses related thereto (excluding any expenses governed by Section 3.10).

Section 7.3                           Indemnification by Flowco.  Flowco shall indemnify and hold the Infrastructurco Entities harmless from and against, without duplication, all Taxes for which Flowco is responsible pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses related thereto (excluding any expenses governed by Section 3.10).

Section 7.4                           Flowco Gross-Up Obligation.  If Flowco makes an indemnity or reimbursement payment to any Infrastructurco Entity attributable to any Flowco Prohibited Event, such indemnity or reimbursement payment shall be increased to take into account any Taxes of such Infrastructurco Entity resulting from the receipt of such indemnity or reimbursement payment.  For this purpose, the amount of such Taxes shall be determined

15

assuming that such Infrastructurco Entity is taxed at the highest applicable marginal rate then in effect and has no Tax Attributes.

Section 7.5                           Characterization of Indemnification and Reimbursement Payments.  For all Tax purposes, Infrastructurco and Flowco agree to treat any indemnification or reimbursement or other similar payment made hereunder (other than any payment of interest accruing after the Distribution Date) as an adjustment to the amount of cash transferred between Infrastructurco and Flowco in the Flowco Asset Transfer.
