Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 30, 2015, Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. (the "Company") entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to acquire the sensing portfolio of Custom Sensors & Technologies, Inc. ("CST"), including the Kavlico, BEI, Crydom, and Newall product lines and brands (collectively, the "Business").

The Purchase Agreement was entered into by and among the Company, Custom Sensors & Technologies Ltd. ("US Seller"), Crouzet Automatismes S.A.S. ("French Seller") and Custom Sensors & Technologies (Huizhou) Limited ("China Asset Seller" and, together with the US Seller and French Seller, the "Sellers"). At the closing, the Company will acquire or assume, as applicable, (i) all of the outstanding shares of CST, (ii) the assets and liabilities of the China Asset Seller relating to the Business and (iii) at the option of the French Seller (the "European Sale Option"), all of the outstanding shares of Crydom SSR and BEI France. The aggregate purchase price is equal to $957 million or, in the event the French Seller exercises the European Sale Option, $1.0 billion, in either case subject to working capital and other adjustments.

Certain assets and businesses of CST, including certain headquarters functions, will be retained by the US Seller. As a result, the parties have agreed that such retained assets and businesses will be separated from CST prior to the closing and transferred to the US Seller or one of its other affiliates.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. The Purchase Agreement also includes certain indemnification obligations of the parties, including with respect to breaches of representations and warranties, subject to specified limits. At the closing, the parties have agreed to enter into a transition services agreement and reverse transition services agreement. The closing of the acquisition, which the parties expect will occur in the fourth quarter of 2015 or early 2016, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions to closing, including, among others, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and antitrust regulatory approval in Germany. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right of either the Company or Sellers to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the closing has not occurred on or before March 2, 2016, subject to extensions up to August 2, 2016 if the closing conditions relating to antitrust consents or approvals have not been satisfied by such date. Upon termination of the Purchase Agreement in specified circumstances, including the failure to obtain applicable antitrust consents or approvals, the Company is required to pay Sellers a reverse termination fee in an aggregate amount equal to $55 million or, if the Company elects to extend the outside termination date under the Purchase Agreement to August 2, 2016, $80 million.

The closing is expected to occur on the first business day of the first calendar month following the later of (i) the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the end of the marketing period (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement has been included with this Form 8-K pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding their terms. However, they are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Sellers, the Business, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, or another party. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement have been made only for the purpose of the Purchase Agreement and, as such, are intended solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In many cases, these representations, warranties and covenants are subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties and are qualified by certain disclosures exchanged by the parties in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, many of the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement are the result of negotiated allocation of contractual risk among the parties and, taken in isolation, do not necessarily reflect facts about the Company, the Sellers, the Business, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. Likewise, any references to materiality contained in the representations and warranties may not correspond to concepts of materiality applicable to investors or shareholders. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement and these changes may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

As a result of the foregoing, investors and shareholders are strongly encouraged not to rely on the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, or on any descriptions thereof, as accurate characterizations of the state of facts or condition of the Company, the Sellers, the Business or any other party. Investors and shareholders are likewise cautioned that they are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and do not have any direct rights or remedies pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

(c) Dispute Notice. The Closing Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Sellers and Buyer on the forty-fifth (45^th) day following Sellers’ receipt of the Closing Statement, unless prior to such forty-fifth (45^th) day Sellers deliver to Buyer a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) stating that Sellers believe that the Closing Statement contains mathematical errors or was not prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles or the provisions of this Agreement, and specifying in reasonable detail each item or amount that Sellers dispute (each, a “Disputed Item”), the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting Sellers’ positions. Sellers shall not challenge the Closing Statement on any other basis, and Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(b).

(d) Resolution Period. During the thirty (30) days immediately following Buyer’s receipt of a Dispute Notice delivered by Sellers under Section 1.3(c) (the “Resolution Period”), Buyer and Sellers shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Dispute Notice. If Sellers and Buyer reach agreement with respect to any such Disputed Items, Buyer shall promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect such agreement.

(e) Independent Accountant. If Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then Buyer and Sellers shall jointly engage, and submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) to, the Independent Accountant for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3(e). The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Sellers and not by independent review, only the Unresolved Items still in dispute and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Closing Statement to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer and Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to issue its written determination regarding the Unresolved Items within thirty (30) days after such items are submitted for review. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 1.3 and in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles and the provisions of this Agreement, and in no event shall the Independent Accountant’s determination of the Unresolved Items be for an amount that is outside the range of Buyer’s and Sellers’ disagreement (which range shall in no event be greater than the range represented by the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement and Dispute Notice for such unresolved Disputed Items). Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request and shall be afforded an opportunity to discuss the Unresolved Items with the Independent Accountant at such hearing as the Independent Accountant shall request or permit; provided that (i) each party shall provide the other party with a copy of all

materials provided to, and communications with, the Independent Accountant, and (ii) no party (or any of its Affiliates, advisors or representatives) shall engage in any ex parte communication with the Independent Accountant at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items. The determination of the Independent Accountant as to any Disputed Items shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and the Sellers (absent manifest error) and the decision of the Independent Accountant shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover. The fees, expenses and costs of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyer and Sellers in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the Unresolved Items that is unsuccessfully disputed by each (as determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of the Unresolved Items submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, if (x) the total amount of the Unresolved Items submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3(e) is $1,000, (y) the aggregate amount of the Unresolved Items resolved by the Independent Accountant in favor of Sellers is $600 and (z) the total amount of fees, expenses and costs of the Independent Accountant in connection with such dispute is $100, then Buyer shall bear $60 of such amount and Sellers shall bear $40 of such amount.

(f) Access to Information. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide promptly to the other party, reasonable access at reasonable times to the books and records of such party and to appropriate employees and representatives (including independent accountants) as such other party shall reasonably request in connection with preparation and review of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Closing Statement or any component thereof or information contained or referred to therein, as the case may be, including all work papers of the accountants who audited, compiled or reviewed such statements or notices (subject to each party and its representatives entering into any such access letters required by the other party’s accountants in connection herewith), and shall otherwise cooperate reasonably and in good faith with such other party to arrive at a final determination of the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement, as the case may be.

(g) Final Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to clause (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.3:

(i) (A) if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to such excess, or (B) if the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such shortfall;

(ii) (A) if the Closing Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to such excess, or (B) if the Closing Cash is less than the Estimated Closing Cash, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such shortfall; and

(iii) (A) if the Closing Debt exceeds the Estimated Closing Debt, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess, or (B) if the Closing Debt is less than the Estimated Closing Debt, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to such shortfall; and

(iv) (A) if the Company Group Transaction Expenses exceed the Estimated Company Group Transaction Expenses, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess, or (B) if the Company Group Transaction Expenses are less than the Estimated Company Group Transaction Expenses, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to such shortfall.

(h) Method of Payment, Etc. Any amount paid in respect of adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be (i) paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving party and (ii) treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for applicable Tax purposes to the extent permitted by Tax Law.

Section 1.4 Withholding. Buyer, its Affiliates, and any other Persons acting on their behalf shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld with respect to any such payments under the Code, the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder or any other applicable provision of Law. To the extent that Buyer becomes aware of any applicable deduction or withholding in respect of the Estimated Purchase Price with respect to the sale of the Shares and the China Assets (other than on account of US Seller’s failure to timely deliver the certificate pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(i)(D)), Buyer shall promptly, and in any event at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provide written notice to the applicable Seller of its intention to make such deduction or withholding. To the extent such amounts are withheld with respect to any Person, such amounts shall be treated as having been paid to or on behalf of such Person to the extent such amounts are properly remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. Upon request by Sellers, Buyer shall furnish Sellers with official receipts (or copies thereof) evidencing the payment of any withheld amounts (or, if such receipts are not available, other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to Sellers).

request, (iii) make available to one another and their respective representatives, their officers, employees, accountants and representatives to provide reasonable assistance and co-operation in the review of information described in this Section 4.2(b) and (iv) cooperate with one another and their respective representatives, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals and make available their respective employees as witnesses, to the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with any Litigation arising out of the Business or operations of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries in which the requesting party or any of its Affiliates are or may from time to time be involved, in each case other than with respect to any actual or potential Litigation involving disputes between Buyer, on the one hand, and any Seller, on the other hand.

(c) Prior to, and for a period of six (6) months following, Closing, upon the written request of Buyer and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, Sellers shall, and shall cause each member of the Seller Group and each of their respective employees to, use reasonable best efforts to promptly provide Buyer and the Buyer Representatives with such financial and other information relating to the Business as is reasonably available to the Sellers that may be required in connection with, or is otherwise reasonably advisable or useful in connection with, the preparation of any financial statements of the Business (including any audited financial statements) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that such information may, to the extent necessary, include information pertaining to the Seller Group as related to the Business) as may be necessary or advisable to prepare or audit financial statements in accordance with GAAP, IFRS or such other applicable accounting standards designated by Buyer, to the extent and in such form and for such periods as would be required for a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act (including Regulation S-X thereunder and other accounting rules and regulations of the SEC), including in order to enable the Buyer to satisfy any reporting obligation it may have to file such financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the Closing Date under Item 9.01 of Form 8-K under the Exchange Act (including any auditors’ consents to permit the incorporation by reference of any such audited financial statements of the Business in any pending registration statement of the Buyer), but for the avoidance of doubt regardless of whether any such filing is in fact required, and to otherwise reasonably cooperate with Buyer and Buyer Representatives in connection with the preparation of any such audited financial statements of the Business; provided however, that the Sellers shall not be required to provide any financial or other information pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) that is not then reasonably available to the Sellers.

(d) Anything to the contrary in Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) notwithstanding, (i) access rights pursuant to Section 4.2(a), Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.2(c) shall be exercised in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the Business or any other business of the party granting such access, (ii) the party granting access may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information (A) that is subject to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement with a third party (provided that such party shall reasonably cooperate to obtain consent to disclose, so that Buyer and its representatives may obtain access to such information), (B) that constitutes privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product and the transfer of which, or the provision of access to which, as reasonably determined by such party’s counsel, constitutes a waiver of any such privilege (provided that such party shall cooperate to enable Buyer to enter

into appropriate confidentiality, joint defense or similar documents or arrangements so that Buyer and its representatives may obtain access to such information), (C) if the provision of access to such document (or portion thereof) or information, as determined by such party in good faith, would reasonably be expected to conflict with applicable Laws or agreements with Governmental Authorities or (D) that such party determines in good faith constitutes competitively sensitive cost or pricing information including bidding history (provided, that, if requested by Buyer, such documents or information under this section (ii)(D) will be provided to members of the clean team pursuant to a “clean team agreement” to be negotiated in good faith and entered into by the parties following the date hereof (the “Clean Team Agreement”), (iii) neither any Seller nor any of its Affiliates or representatives shall have any obligation to provide Buyer or its representatives (A) access to any portion of any Consolidated or Combined Return not related to the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries or (B) access to the properties or assets of any of the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries to conduct any subsurface or Phase II environmental investigation, or other intrusive sampling or testing of any environmental medium without Sellers’ consent (it being agreed that, in the event that the restrictions of clauses (ii)(A) – (C) or (iii) apply, Sellers shall provide Buyer with a reasonably detailed description of the information not provided and Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to design and implement, to the extent practicable, alternative disclosure arrangements to enable Buyer to evaluate any such information without violating Law or the applicable privilege or breaching Sellers’ obligations to any Third Party), and (iv) the party requesting access pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) shall reimburse the other party promptly for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the other party in connection with any such request made after the Closing.

(e) All information provided to Buyer or its respective Affiliates pursuant to this Section 4.1 prior to the Closing shall be held by Buyer as Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2015 between Custom Sensors & Technologies, Inc. and Sensata Technologies, Inc. and, to the extent applicable, the Clean Team Agreement (such Confidentiality Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the Clean Team Agreement being collectively referred to as (the “Confidentiality Agreement”)) and shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Confidentiality Agreement is hereby amended to provide that it shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing Date, at which time it shall automatically terminate.

(f) From and after the Closing Date: (i) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and representatives to, maintain in confidence any written, oral or other information relating to the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries obtained by virtue of Sellers’ ownership of the Business or the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and (ii) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to, maintain in confidence any written, oral or other information of or relating to any Seller or its Affiliates (other than to the extent related to the Business, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) obtained by virtue of Buyer’s or Sellers’ ownership, management or provision of services to the Business, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries from and after the Closing, except, in each case, to the extent that the applicable party is required to disclose such information by judicial or administrative process or pursuant to applicable Law (in which case such party shall notify the other party and cooperate

reasonably in obtaining any appropriate protective order or other limitation to maintain the confidentiality of such information) or such information can be shown to have been in the public domain through no fault of the applicable party.

(g) Subject to Sections 4.2(f) and (g), Sellers and their Affiliates shall have the right to retain copies of all books, data, files, information and records in any media (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Tax Returns and other information and documents relating to tax matters) of the Business, Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period (i) relating to information (including employment and medical records) regarding the Transferred Employees, (ii) as may be required by any Governmental Authority, including pursuant to any applicable Law or regulatory request, or (iii) as may be necessary for any Seller or its Affiliates to perform their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, in each case subject to compliance with all applicable privacy Laws. Buyer agrees that, with respect to all original books, data, files, information and records of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries existing as of the Closing Date, it will (x) comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating to the preservation and retention of records, (y) apply preservation and retention policies that are no less stringent in the aggregate than those generally applied by Buyer to its own books and records and (z) for at least seven years after the Closing Date, preserve and retain all such original books, data, files, information and records.

(h) Promptly following receipt of the written request therefor, after the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause the other members of the Seller Group to, deliver to Buyer any books and records of the Business or the Companies or Transferred Subsidiaries in Sellers’ or such other Seller Group member’s or their respective representatives’ possession or under their control to the extent not already in the possession of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries.

Section 4.3 Governmental Approvals; Third-Party Consents.

(a) Sellers and Buyer shall (i) cooperate to make, in the most expeditious manner practicable, all filings and applications with and to, and obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and Orders of, applicable Governmental Authorities to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain consents from other Persons reasonable or necessary under Contract, or the applicable Law governing such Contract, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including any such consents listed or referenced in Section 2.3 of the Seller Disclosure Letter; provided, that in obtaining any such consent, unless required by the applicable agreement neither Sellers nor Buyer shall be obligated to (i) pay or commit to pay to such Person whose consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration (other than filing/application fees and similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority), and (ii) make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligation due to such Person (and Sellers shall not make any such commitment or incur any liability or other obligation due to such Person that is binding upon the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries or the Business, without Buyer’s written consent). In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide such information in its possession or within its control as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may

be reasonably requested by any Government Authority whose consent or approval is sought hereunder.

(b) In furtherance of the provisions set forth in Section 4.3(a), (i) Sellers and Buyer shall file or cause to be filed (x) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) all notification and report forms that may be required pursuant to the HSR Act, and (y) within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof, a pre-notification filing under any other applicable Law referred to in Section 2.2(b)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter or Section 3.2(b)(ii) of the Buyer Disclosure Letter, as applicable, for the transactions contemplated hereby, and thereafter provide as promptly as practicable any supplemental information requested in connection therewith, and (ii) include in each such filing, notification and report form referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i) a request for early termination or acceleration of any applicable waiting or review periods, to the extent available under the applicable Competition Law or other applicable Law. In connection therewith, Sellers and Buyer shall (A) furnish to the other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and other Competition Laws, (B) subject to applicable Laws, provide the other party with a draft of any filing or submission and a reasonable opportunity to review such draft before making or causing to be made such filing or submission, and consider in good faith the views of such other party regarding such filing or submission (excluding information not customarily shared by parties in transactions of this nature), (C) not extend any applicable waiting or review periods, withdraw any such filing or application or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority to delay or not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of the other party, (D) not have any substantive contact with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing or proceeding contemplated by this Section 4.3(b) unless they have engaged in prior consultation with the other party and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, given the other party the reasonable opportunity to participate and (E) keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ and any other applicable Governmental Authority.

(c) Buyer further agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other applicable Competition Law or other Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event prior to the End Date), including the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other Order that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to (i) litigate or otherwise contest any Litigation or Order or the entry of any Order seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of such transactions under any Competition Law or (ii) agree to any divestitures of any product lines, categories of assets or businesses or operations.

Section 4.4 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) U.S. Transferred Employees.

(i) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date or if earlier, the date of termination of employment of the relevant employee (the “Continuation Period”), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide employees of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries as of the Closing who are located in the United States (including those employees who are full-time, part-time, temporary, on vacation or on a medical or disability or any other paid or unpaid approved leave of absence (but excluding the Excluded Employees) (the “U.S. Transferred Employees”) with (A) cash compensation (including base salary or wage rates and target bonus or other target incentive opportunities, but excluding equity-based compensation) that is substantially comparable in the aggregate to that provided to such U.S. Transferred Employees as of the date of this Agreement, and (B) employee benefits (excluding equity-based compensation or benefits, defined benefit pension, nonqualified deferred compensation and post-termination or retiree welfare benefits) that are comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits (excluding equity-based compensation or benefits, defined benefit pension, nonqualified deferred compensation and post-termination or retiree welfare benefits) provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any U.S. Transferred Employee who is not actively at work and is receiving or eligible to receive short-term or long-term disability benefits as of the Closing Date (an “Absent Employee”) shall become and remain an employee of Sellers and their Affiliates (other than any of the Companies and any of the Transferred Subsidiaries) until and unless such employee presents himself or herself for active employment within six (6) months following the Closing Date or such longer period as may be provided under applicable Law. At such time, the Absent Employee will become an employee of Buyer or its Affiliates and will be treated as a U.S. Transferred Employee for all purposes hereunder as required by applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be construed to prohibit Buyer and its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any U.S. Transferred Employee or any other Person at any time and for any or no reason.

(ii) Under the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which U.S. Transferred Employees are eligible to participate during the plan year in which the Closing occurs (the “New U.S. Benefit Plans”), each U.S. Transferred Employee shall be credited with the same amount of service as was credited as of the Closing under the Benefit Plans in which such U.S. Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing providing the same type of benefit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, vacation or other paid time off rate accrual and eligibility to receive benefits (but not benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan, and not for any purpose under any equity-based plan or arrangement); provided that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or compensation and shall be credited only to the extent such service was credited for the same purpose under an analogous Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted under the terms of the New U.S. Benefit Plans and with respect to the applicable plan year in which

the Closing Date occurs, Buyer shall or shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to allow each U.S. Transferred Employee to immediately be eligible to participate in such New U.S. Benefit Plans without any waiting time, to the extent coverage under such New U.S. Benefit Plans replaces coverage under a Benefit Plan providing the same type of benefit in which such U.S. Transferred Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old U.S. Benefit Plans”), and to the extent such waiting time did not apply with respect to such U.S. Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing. In addition, and without limiting the generality of Section 4.4(a)(i), this Section 4.4(a)(ii) or any other provisions herein, for purposes of each New U.S. Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and/or vision benefits to any U.S. Transferred Employee and his or her dependents, provided that the Buyer is provided with the administrative information that is necessary to comply with the following provisions (i) and (ii): (i) Buyer and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions under such New U.S. Benefit Plan to be waived for such U.S. Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such pre-existing condition exclusions were waived or were inapplicable under the comparable Old U.S. Benefit Plan, and (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such U.S. Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year prior to the Closing Date under the Old U.S. Benefit Plan to be taken into account under such New U.S. Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such U.S. Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year that includes the Closing Date, to the extent such credit would have been given under any comparable Old U.S. Benefit Plan.

(iii) Provided that Sellers have supplied Buyer with a true and complete list of employee layoffs, by date and location, implemented in the 90-day period preceding the Closing by the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries located in the United States, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for and indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates for any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as such terms are defined in the WARN Act, affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, operating unit or U.S. Transferred Employee that occurs on or after the Closing Date as a result of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ actions, and for any Losses arising out of or resulting from Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ actions or failures to provide any required notice under WARN Act.

(b) Non-U.S. Transferred Employees. With respect to any employees of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries as of the Closing who are located outside of the United States (including those employees who are full-time, part-time, temporary, on vacation or on a medical or disability or any other paid or unpaid approved leave of absence but excluding the Excluded Employees) (the “Non-U.S. Transferred Employees” and, collectively with the U.S. Transferred Employees, the “Transferred Employees”), in the event that the applicable Laws of any country or any applicable collective agreement require Buyer or its Affiliates (i) to maintain Terms and Conditions of Employment with respect to any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee following the Closing or (ii) to continue or cause to be continued any employment contract of any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee, Buyer shall cause the entity that employs such Non-U.S.

Transferred Employee following the Closing to comply with such requirements to the extent required by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.4(b) shall prevent Buyer from terminating the employment of any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee after the Closing (for which Buyer shall be responsible for any costs or liabilities) or otherwise modifying the Terms and Conditions of Employment of any Non-U.S. Transferred Employees to the extent permitted by Law or otherwise agreed with the applicable employee(s) or representative(s) thereof. “Terms and Conditions of Employment” shall mean the rights of Non-U.S. Transferred Employees according to their individual terms and conditions of employment with Seller or its Affiliates as of the date of this Agreement (or as of the Closing if required by applicable Law) and, where applicable, under company or shop agreements, and any arrangements based on works customs and unilateral undertakings, if and to the extent they provide to a Non-U.S. Transferred Employee direct and enforceable causes of action against the employer.

(i) Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate and take such steps as may be necessary to cause, effective as of the Closing Date, the employment of the employees of Sellers and their Affiliates whose names, titles, job functions and jurisdictions of employment are set forth in Section 4.4(c)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Transferred Seller Employees”) to be transferred to the Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer designated by Buyer (including by offering employment to such Transferred Seller Employees (which offers shall be for a comparable position and in the same geographic location as applied immediately prior to Closing and shall otherwise comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.4(a)(i) or Section 4.4(b), as applicable), or through such legal or other transfer process as may apply in the applicable jurisdiction), and from and after such transfer such employees shall be treated as Transferred Employees for all purposes under this Agreement. In connection with such transfers of employment of the Transferred Seller Employees, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.4(c)(ii), the Buyer agrees that the Buyer or its applicable Affiliates shall assume all liabilities and obligations of any kind in connection with, involving or relating to the employment of or employee benefits provided to or accrued by the Transferred Seller Employees, including with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date (but without limiting any of the indemnification or other rights of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), except to the extent such liabilities are provided under a funded or fully insured Seller Benefit Plan (such liabilities, the “Transferred Employment Liabilities”). After the Closing, Buyer and its applicable Affiliates will be responsible for and indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates for and against all Transferred Employment Liabilities; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that (A) Sellers or another member of the Seller Group shall be responsible for any legally required severance, termination pay and other similar costs and expenses associated with the termination of employment of such Transferred Seller Employees by Seller or another member of the Seller Group for purposes of the transfer of employment (if applicable in the jurisdiction) (“Severance Costs”) and (B) in the event the employment of a Transferred Seller Employee does not automatically transfer to Buyer or one of its Affiliates under applicable Law and such Transferred Seller Employee does not accept employment with Buyer, Sellers or another member of the Seller Group will be

responsible for all severance, termination pay and other similar costs and expenses associated with the termination of employment of such Transferred Seller Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s assumption of the Transferred Employment Liabilities will include accrued payroll and, subject to Section 4.4(c)(viii), accrued vacation and paid time off amounts for the Transferred Seller Employees and shall require the Buyer and its Affiliates to provide comparable terms and conditions of employment and to credit each Transferred Seller Employee with the same amount of service as was credited as of the Closing under applicable Benefit Plans in which such Transferred Seller Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, in each case to the extent that Buyer’s failure to do so would result in Seller or another member of the Seller Group incurring any Severance Costs. Subject to any applicable Law, Sellers shall cause copies of all personnel records of the Transferred Seller Employees to be provided to Buyer or designated Affiliate of Buyer, as applicable. Buyer shall provide to Sellers drafts of all documents to be entered into in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Seller Employees reasonably in advance and will give due consideration to any reasonable comments of Sellers on such documents. If any Transferred Seller Employee requires a work permit or employment pass or other legal or regulatory approval or filing for his or her employment with the Buyer or a designated Affiliate of Buyer, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, authorize the transfer of any such permit, pass or other approval or filing to the Buyer or a designated Affiliate of Buyer, as applicable (provided that Sellers make no representation as to the enforceability of any such transfer) or take all necessary steps as apply in the jurisdiction to cooperate with the Buyer or a designated affiliate of Buyer, as applicable, to apply to the competent Governmental Authority for issuance or update of any such permit, pass or other approval or filing, and will reasonably cooperate with Buyer to seek to provide that all such work permits, passes or other necessary approvals are valid and effective as of the Closing Date to the extent required by applicable Law. In the event that any Transferred Seller Employee is unable to secure a proper permit, pass or other approval permitting such employee to work for Buyer as of the Closing, such employee shall be deemed to have been unable to transfer employment under subsection (B) above of this Section 4.4(c), until such time as any applicable permit, pass or other approval is secured (and the Transferred Seller Employee will transfer employment to Buyer or its Affiliate at such time).

(ii) As of the Closing, except as otherwise agreed between the Buyer and the Seller pursuant to their reasonable cooperation as provided in Section 4.4(c)(i) above, each of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall terminate its participation in each Benefit Plan in which the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees and the Transferred Seller Employees who are located outside of the United States (the “Non-U.S. Transferred Seller Employees”) participated immediately prior to the Closing Date that is not sponsored and maintained by such Company or Transferred Subsidiary, and the participation of the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees and the Non-U.S. Transferred Seller Employees in each Benefit Plan that is not sponsored and maintained by any of the Companies or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries shall be terminated except as specified in the terms of any such Benefit Plan or as required by applicable Law, and each Non-U.S. Transferred Employee and Non-U.S. Transferred Seller Employee shall cease active participation in and benefit accruals under such Benefit Plans and Schneider Plans. Prior to the Closing, the Companies and the

Transferred Subsidiaries shall take all actions necessary to transfer, effective prior to the Closing Date, the sponsorship of, and all assets and liabilities under and with respect to, each Excluded Plan (including any Company Benefit Plan) that is sponsored and maintained by any of the Companies or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries as of the date hereof to one of the Sellers or its Affiliates (other than any of the Companies or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries), and Sellers and its Affiliates shall accept such transfer of the sponsorship of, and all assets and Liabilities under, each Excluded Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Excluded Plan” means each “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is maintained, sponsored, contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries), in each case covering the U.S. Transferred Employees and the Transferred Seller Employees who are located and reside in the United States (the “U.S. Transferred Seller Employees”), but excluding the plans and arrangements set forth in Section 4.4(c)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter. As of the Closing, each of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall terminate its participation in each Excluded Plan, and the participation of the U.S. Transferred Employees and the U.S. Transferred Seller Employees in each such Excluded Plan (and in each Benefit Plan maintained by Schneider Electric SE and its Affiliates in which such employees participate prior to the Closing (“Schneider Plans”)) shall be terminated except as specified in the terms of any such Benefit Plan or as required by applicable Law, and each U.S. Transferred Employee and U.S. Transferred Seller Employee shall cease active participation in and benefit accruals under such Benefit Plans and Schneider Plans. Sellers and their Affiliates (other than any of the Companies and any of the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall assume and retain the sponsorship of and be solely responsible for all Liabilities relating to or at any time arising under or in connection with any Excluded Plan, including with respect to any Transferred Seller Employees in the United States. The Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer all documents, data, records and information relating to the Excluded Plans that prior to the Closing were maintained or sponsored by the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries to the Seller or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing. From and after the Closing, the Seller and its Affiliates and the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) will reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to the sharing of information regarding and the administration of such Excluded Plans, which shall include making their employees who have (or have access) to any information or knowledge regarding past actions related to or past administration of such Excluded Plans available to the other party at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, without cost or fee. Sellers shall be solely responsible for any obligations under Code Section 4980B with respect to any “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

(iii) Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall take such steps as may be necessary to cause, effective as of no later than the Closing Date, the employment of the employees of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries whose names, titles, job functions and jurisdictions of employment are set forth in Section 4.4(c)(iii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Excluded Employees”) to be transferred to the Sellers or an Affiliate of Sellers and such Excluded Employees shall not be treated as Transferred Employees for any purpose under this Agreement. In connection with such transfers of employment of the Excluded

Employees, except as expressly provided in Section 4.4(c)(iv), the Sellers agree that the Sellers or their applicable Affiliates shall assume all liabilities and obligations of any kind in connection with, involving or relating to the employment of or employee benefits provided to or accrued by the Excluded Employees, including with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such liabilities are provided under a funded or fully insured Company Benefit Plan (such liabilities, the “Excluded Employment Liabilities”). From and after the Closing the Sellers and their applicable Affiliates will be responsible for and indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) for and against all Excluded Employment Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the employment of an Excluded Employee does not automatically transfer to the Sellers or one of their Affiliates (other than the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) under applicable Law and such Excluded Employee does not accept employment with the Sellers or their applicable Affiliate (other than the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries), the Sellers will be responsible and will reimburse the applicable Company or Transferred Subsidiary for all notice, severance, termination pay and other similar costs and expenses associated with the termination of employment of such Excluded Employee. All personnel records of the Excluded Employees will be transferred to the Sellers or their applicable Affiliate (other than the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries).

(iv) As of the Closing, except as otherwise agreed between the Buyer and the Seller pursuant to their reasonable cooperation, each Excluded Employee who is located outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. Excluded Employee”) shall cease active participation in and benefit accruals under all Benefit Plans that are sponsored and maintained by any Company or any Transferred Subsidiary, and each of Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall terminate its participation in each Benefit Plan in which the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees, the U.S. Transferred Seller Employees and/or the Non-U.S. Excluded Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing Date that is sponsored and maintained by any Company or Transferred Subsidiary.

(v) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliates may establish or designate one or more defined contribution plans and trusts intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code in which U.S. Transferred Employees who were eligible to participate in the Company Benefit Plan or Seller Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Seller DC Plan”) will become eligible to participate after the Closing Date (the “Buyer DC Plan”). As of the Closing Date, all U.S. Transferred Employees who participated in the Seller DC Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date shall cease to contribute to and shall become fully vested in their account balances under the Seller DC Plan. As of the Closing, the Seller or the applicable Company or Transferred Subsidiary shall make to the Seller DC Plan all employer contributions that would have been made on behalf of the U.S. Transferred Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements, but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date, it being understood that any accrual in respect of such employer contributions

that are actually so made shall not be included as a current liability in Closing Working Capital. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the U.S. Transferred Employees who participated in the Seller DC Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be entitled to a distribution of their account balances in accordance with the terms of the Seller DC Plan and applicable Law, and Buyer shall take any and all action necessary to ensure that the Buyer DC Plan accepts a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of such distributions from the Seller DC Plan that are eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 402(c) of the Code), (including the promissory notes of any outstanding participant loans, if such rollovers are elected by any U.S. Transferred Employee, provided the rollover occurs within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date).

(vi) As of the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliates may establish or designate medical and dependent care flexible spending account plans (the “Buyer FSA Plans”) that will provide benefits to U.S. Transferred Employees who participated in the Company Benefit Plans or Seller Benefit Plans that are medical and dependent care flexible spending account plans immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Seller FSA Plans”). On the Closing Date, the U.S. Transferred Employees will cease participation in the Seller FSA Plans. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Sellers shall determine on an aggregate basis whether the benefits paid by the Seller FSA Plans to U.S. Transferred Employees for claims incurred prior to the Closing Date exceeded or were less than the amount of payroll deductions Sellers or its Affiliates (including the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries) collected from the U.S. Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date. If the claims paid by the Seller FSA Plans exceeded the payroll deductions, then Buyer or its Affiliates shall promptly reimburse Sellers for any excess of such claims paid. If the claims paid by the Seller FSA Plans are less than the payroll deductions collected by Sellers or its Affiliates (including the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries), then Sellers shall promptly pay over to Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) the excess of the payroll deductions collected over the claims paid. This Section 4.4(c)(vi) shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with Rev. Rul. 2002-32.

(vii) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, be bound by, and to comply with the terms of all collective bargaining, works council, trade union, or other collective agreements that cover one or more Transferred Employees (each, a “Collective Agreement”) as in effect on the Closing Date until Buyer or its Affiliates negotiate a new collective agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, be bound by, and comply with, the terms of all Collective Agreements applicable to Transferred Employees employed in France on the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of applicable Law, or until Buyer or its Affiliates negotiate a new Collective Agreement with respect to such employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4, Buyer agrees that the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall be subject to any applicable provisions of a Collective Agreement in respect of Transferred Employees, to the extent the provisions of this Section 4.4 are inconsistent with or otherwise in conflict with the provisions of any such Collective Agreement.

(viii) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.4(a)(i), effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be credited with respect to each Transferred Employee and Transferred Seller Employee the same number of earned but unused vacation and paid time off days credited by Sellers and their Subsidiaries with respect to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (except to the extent any accrued vacation amounts are paid out to employees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), solely to the extent reflected as a liability in the Closing Working Capital. Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall permit the Transferred Employees to use such vacation and paid time off days in accordance with the vacation and paid time off policies of Buyer or its Affiliates as in effect from time to time. Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall permit the Transferred Employees to use such vacation and paid time off days at times reasonably consistent with the business needs of the Business and in accordance with the vacation and paid time off policies of Buyer as in effect from time to time.

(ix) Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in communications with Transferred Employees and Transferred Seller Employees with respect to employee benefit plans and with respect to other matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include the provision of information from the Seller or the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries to the Buyer concerning the Transferred Employees and Transferred Seller Employees as is necessary or appropriate to facilitate the transactions contemplated by this agreement, including information regarding pay, employee benefits and terms and conditions of employment. Without limiting the foregoing, until the Closing Date, (i) Buyer shall consult with Sellers and obtain Sellers’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before distributing any communications to any Transferred Employees or Transferred Seller Employees, whether relating to employee benefits, terms of employment or otherwise and shall provide Sellers with advance copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on (and shall consider in good faith all such comments), all material communications to any employee relating to post-Closing employment, employee benefits, terms of employment or otherwise, and (ii) except with respect to the Excluded Employees in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring as provided in Exhibit A, the Sellers shall comply with Section 4.1 prior to transferring the employment of any employee who is currently employed by a Company or a Transferred Subsidiary to an Affiliate of the Seller that is not a Company or a Transferred Subsidiary. In addition, prior to and after the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate to satisfy any requirement or custom to, consult with or provide information to, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any competent labor organization and/or employee representative body.

(x) No provision of this Section 4.4, whether express or implied, shall (i) constitute or create an employment or other service agreement with any Transferred Employee, any Transferred Seller Employees or any other Person, (ii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan, Company Benefit Plan, Seller Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) limit the right of Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Benefit Plan, Company Benefit Plan, Seller

Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, or (iv) create any obligation to continue the employment of, or any particular term, condition or arrangement of employment following the Closing of any Transferred Employee, Transferred Seller Employee, Excluded Employee or any other Person at any time. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that all of the provisions contained in this Section 4.4 are included for the sole benefit of the parties and that nothing in this Section 4.4, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Person, including, without limitation, any Transferred Employee, Transferred Seller Employee, Excluded Employee, former employee, any participant in any existing Benefit Plan or any dependent or beneficiary thereof.

(xi) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Seller will (or will cause its applicable Affiliates to) seek and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers and will solicit shareholder approval (by written consent in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) of any payments that may, separately or in the aggregate, constitute “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) that may be made to individuals who are “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such that such payments would not be deemed to constitute “excess parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer notification and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that (a) a vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any waived payments or benefits that were subject to the stockholder vote, or (b) that such stockholder approval was not obtained and, as a consequence, that such waived payments or benefits shall not be made or provided to the extent they would cause any amounts to constitute “excess parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code; provided that Seller shall not be in breach of this covenant solely as a result of the refusal of any disqualified individual to waive the applicable payments and submit them to the applicable stockholder vote, so long as Seller used commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such waiver (provided that Seller shall not be required to provide any additional value to such disqualified individual in order to receive such waiver). The waivers and any communications and documents regarding the 280G approval process (including the computations of parachute payments, the identification of the “disqualified individuals” who are potential recipients of parachute payments, and the waivers of payments and/or benefits executed by the affected individuals) shall be made available to Buyer within a reasonable time prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall have the right to review and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) such waivers, communications and documents before they are executed by any applicable “disqualified individual” or the stockholders of the Company or its Subsidiaries (as applicable) and/or distributed to such stockholders.

Section 4.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a press release issued by Buyer to be reasonably agreed upon by the

Sellers. Other than the initial press release, and except as required by or advisable under applicable Law or stock exchange rules, neither Buyer nor any member of the Seller Group shall make, or permit any of their Subsidiaries or representatives to make, any additional public announcement in respect of or otherwise publish this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party. In the event that any such additional public announcement is required by or advisable under applicable Law or stock exchange rules, the party obligated to make such announcement shall promptly provide the other party with reasonable advance written notice of such requirement and the content of the proposed announcement and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement and consider in good faith any comments with respect thereto. Promptly after the Closing Date, the parties shall cooperate and agree on both the strategy and content of a joint strategy and script for communications regarding the transaction contemplated hereby with employees, customers and suppliers of the Business.

Section 4.6 Insurance. Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section 4.6, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries, the Business and the Assets of the Business shall cease to be insured by, have access or availability to, be entitled to make claims on, be entitled to claim benefits from or seek coverage under any insurance policies or any self-insured programs of Sellers or any member of the Seller Group, other than the third-party insurance policies listed in Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter. With respect to events or circumstances relating to the Business, the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their assets and current or former employees that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date and that remain covered by third-party liability insurance policies of any Seller or its Subsidiaries not listed on Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any self-insurance programs or captive policies of any Seller or its Subsidiaries), such Seller or its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts, if so requested by Buyer, to make claims under such policies, subject to the terms and conditions of such policies; provided that Buyer (i) shall promptly give Sellers notice in writing of any events or circumstances in respect of which Buyer has requested any Seller to make a claim pursuant to this Section 4.6, (ii) shall be responsible for all uninsured or uncovered amounts for such claims (including any applicable deductibles that are not covered by any insurance policies of any Seller or its Subsidiaries), and (iii) shall reimburse each Seller and its Subsidiaries for any documented increased costs incurred by any Seller or any member of the Seller Group as a result of such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall retain all rights to control their insurance policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of such policies, notwithstanding whether any such policies apply to any liabilities of the Business; provided that Sellers and the other members of the Seller Group shall (at the cost and expense of Buyer) provide Buyer and its Affiliates with reasonable cooperation regarding the processing of each claim pursuant to this Section 4.6. Sellers shall provide Buyer with 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or termination of any such insurance policy’s coverage in respect of the Business (other than an expiration in accordance with its terms) that are on an “occurrence basis” to the extent termination or cancellation serves to reduce coverage with respect to any claims based on facts or occurrences arising prior to Closing. Nothing in this Section 4.6 shall be construed to limit any Person’s right to indemnification under Article 8.

Section 4.7 Intercompany Accounts; Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) Sellers shall cause all intercompany accounts between any member of the Seller Group, on the one hand, and any member of the Company Group, on the other hand, to be settled or otherwise eliminated prior to the Closing in such a manner as Sellers shall reasonably determine, in each case without any further Liability to any member of the Seller Group, on the one hand, or to any member of the Company Group, on the other hand (for the avoidance of doubt, intercompany accounts between or among any members of the Company Group shall not be affected by this Section 4.7(a)), except for (i) trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business on arm’s length terms and included in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, which accounts shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and (ii) the Extraction Notes.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, other than (x) this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Tax Consolidation Exit Agreement and (y) as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (which Section may be amended from time to time prior to the Closing to reflect any additions or deletions mutually agreed between Sellers and Buyer), (i) all agreements, commitments and other arrangements required to be set forth in Section 2.19(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall be terminated, without any party having any continuing obligations thereunder, and (ii) the parties thereto shall no longer receive any benefits under any such contracts, agreements, arrangements, commitments, instruments or other obligations.

(c) Following Closing, Sellers shall (or shall cause another member of the Seller Group) to use its reasonable best efforts to collect the Excluded Accounts Receivable and pay to Buyer, promptly following receipt thereof, all after tax proceeds received by members of the Seller Group in respect of the Excluded Accounts Receivable.

Section 4.8 Termination of Guarantees. From and after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as of the Closing, the termination of, and full release of each member of the Seller Group from, all obligations of any member of the Seller Group arising under all guarantees, arrangements, keepwells, letters of credit, indemnity or contribution agreements, support agreements, comfort letters, insurance surety bonds or other contingent obligations made in respect of the obligations of, or for the benefit of any oblige of, the Business or any of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries in respect of the Business by any member of the Seller Group, including those set forth in Section 4.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, which list may be supplemented by written notice from the Sellers after the date hereof and at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date of any such guarantee, indemnity, surety bond, letter of credit, letter of comfort or other similar obligation relating to the Business entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and for which the aggregate face amount shall not exceed $5 million in the aggregate for all such arrangements (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt, that (x) any such supplementary notice shall not otherwise modify the Seller Disclosure Letter, and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing subclause (x) to the contrary, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement merely as a result of the creation of such credit support arrangement permitted to be included in any such notice contemplated by this Section 4.8)

(collectively, the “Seller Guarantees”). Such efforts shall include an offer by Buyer (or by a Subsidiary of Buyer) to substitute its own obligations for those of each Seller and the other members of the Seller Group under each Seller Guarantee that is set forth in Section 4.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter on terms that are not materially less favorable than the terms that apply to any Seller or the other members of the Seller Group. If Buyer is unable to effect such a release and substitution on or prior to Closing with respect to any letter of credit that constitutes a Seller Guarantee (any such letter of credit, an “Unreleased Letter of Credit”), Buyer shall, as promptly as practicable, obtain and deliver to Sellers a letter of credit, with a face amount equal to the face amount of such Unreleased Letter of Credit and with an expiration date that is not sooner than the expiration date of such Unreleased Letter of Credit, and on such other terms and from financial institutions reasonably satisfactory to Sellers; provided that Buyer shall not be required to obtain and deliver to Sellers letters of credit pursuant to this sentence with aggregate face amounts in excess of $5 million. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall forever indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and the other members of the Seller Group against any amounts payable following the Closing by the Sellers and the other members of the Seller Group by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of (i) the Seller Guarantees set forth in Section 4.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, (ii) any claim or demand for payment made on the Sellers or any other member of the Seller Group following the Closing with respect to any of the Seller Guarantees set forth in Section 4.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and (iii) any claim, action or proceeding initiated following the Closing by any Person who is or claims to be entitled to the benefit of or claims to be entitled to payment, reimbursement or indemnity with respect to any Seller Guarantees set forth in Section 4.8 of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

Section 4.9 Use of Names and Marks.

(a) Except as expressly provided herein, in the Ancillary Agreements or Section 4.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (or as the Buyer, Seller and any of their respective Affiliates may otherwise agree in writing from time to time after the Closing), in no event shall (i) Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) have any right to use, nor shall Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) use, the Names and Source Identifiers set forth in Section 4.9(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, or any other Names and Source Identifiers that are confusingly similar to such Names and Source Identifiers (other than after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Seller Names and Marks” ), all of which are and shall remain the sole property of the members of the Seller Group or (ii) any member of the Seller Group have any right to use, nor shall any member of the Seller Group use, the Names and Source Identifiers set forth in Section 4.9(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, or any other Names and Source Identifiers that are confusingly similar to such Names and Source Identifiers (collectively, the “Transferred Names and Marks”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries may utilize in the conduct of the Business, and each member of the Seller Group may utilize in the conduct of their Retained businesses, existing stationery, business cards, signage, advertising materials, inventory, packaging, product, service and training literature, and other similar materials bearing the Seller Names and Marks (“Seller Materials”) or the Transferred Names and Marks (“Buyer Materials”), respectively, following the Closing until the existing supply of such items is depleted or, in the

case of signage, until the date that is ninety (90) days from the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.9(a) shall preclude any of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries, or any member of the Seller Group, from use of the Seller Names and Marks or the Transferred Names and Marks, respectively, to the extent such use involves (i) the use of equipment and other similar articles used in the Business (or in the case of the Transferred Names and Marks, used in Retained Businesses of the members of the Seller Group), notwithstanding that they may bear one or more of the Seller Names and Marks or Transferred Names and Marks; (ii) the appearance of the Seller Names and Marks or Transferred Names and Marks, as applicable, on any tools, dies, engineering/manufacturing drawings, manuals, work sheets, operating procedures, other written or electronic data, materials or assets (including computer source code) that are used for internal purposes only in connection with the Business (or in the case of the Transferred Names and Marks, used in Retained Businesses of the members of the Seller Group); (iii) the appearance of the Seller Names and Marks or Transferred Names and Marks, as applicable, in or on any Third Party’s publications, marketing materials, brochures, instruction sheets, equipment or products that were distributed in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a contract prior to the Closing Date, and that generally are in the public domain, or any other similar uses by any such Third Party over which Buyer or the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or members of the Seller Group, on the other hand, has no control; or (iv) the use of a Seller Name and Mark or Transferred Name and Mark in a non-trademark manner including for purposes of conveying to customers or the general public that the Business is no longer affiliated with Sellers, and/or to reference historical details concerning or make historical reference to the Business. The foregoing permitted uses are subject to (I) compliance by Buyer, the Companies and their Subsidiaries with the quality control requirements and guidelines in effect for the Seller Names and Marks as of the Closing Date and compliance by the members of the Seller Group with the quality control requirements and guidelines in effect for the Transferred Names and Marks as of the Closing Date and (II) to the extent reasonably practicable, the placement of a mutually agreed upon disclaimer on such Seller Materials and Buyer Materials identifying in a readily observable manner that the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, are no longer affiliated with each other.

(b) Any goodwill arising from the use of the Seller Names and Marks by Buyer, the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries shall inure to the benefit of Sellers. Any goodwill arising from the use of the Transferred Names and Marks by any member of the Seller Group shall inure to the benefit of Buyer. Neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) shall contest the ownership or validity of any rights of any member of the Seller Group in or to the Seller Names and Marks. No member of the Seller Group shall contest the ownership or validity of any rights of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries in or to the Transferred Names and Marks.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that any damage caused to any member of the Seller Group by reason of the breach by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries), or damage caused to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of the breach by any member of the Seller Group, of this Section 4.9 would cause irreparable harm that could not be adequately compensated for in money damages alone. Therefore, each party agrees that, in addition to any other remedies, at law or otherwise,

Sellers or Buyer, whichever is so damaged, shall be entitled to an injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction restraining and enjoining any violation by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries), or by any member of the Seller Group, as applicable, of this Section 4.9. Buyer further agrees, and will cause its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) to further agree that, they will stipulate to the fact that any member of the Seller Group has been irreparably harmed by such violation and not oppose the granting of such injunctive relief. Each Seller further agrees, and will cause the other members of the Seller Group to further agree that, they will stipulate to the fact that Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) have been irreparably harmed by such violation and not oppose the granting of such injunctive relief. In addition, Buyer hereby waives, and will cause its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. In addition, each Seller hereby waives, and will cause the other members of the Seller Group to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

Section 4.10 Buyer’s Financing Activities.

(a) Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Financing Commitment without the prior written consent of Sellers, if such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing (or payment of fees having similar effect) in each case, other than any such fees or original discount that is paid or otherwise funded by sources other than the Debt Financing, in each case other than pursuant to any “flex” provisions, or (ii) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay (taking into account the Marketing Period) or prevent the Closing when required pursuant to Section 1.2(a) or (B) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto relative to Buyer’s ability to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment as in effect on the date hereof or in such definitive agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may, without the consent of Sellers, replace, supplement or amend the Debt Financing Commitment (i) to add lenders, lead arrangers, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Financing Commitment as of the date hereof (including the replacement of a lender), (ii) for the implementation or exercise of any “flex” provisions provided in the Debt Financing Commitment or related fee letters as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) so long as such replacement, supplement or amendment does not (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing (or payment of fees having similar effect) in each case, other than any such fees or original discount that is paid or otherwise funded by sources other than the Debt Financing), (B) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (1) delay (taking into account the Marketing Period) or prevent the Closing when required pursuant to Section 1.2(a) or (2) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other

parties to the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto relative to Buyer’s ability to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment as in effect on the date hereof or in such definitive agreements. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments, as hereafter amended, supplemented, modified or waived to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is permitted by this Section 4.10(a) and references to “Debt Financing Commitment” shall include such documents as hereafter amended, modified, supplemented or waived to the extent permitted by this Section 4.10(a). Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Debt Financing including (i) maintaining in effect the Debt Financing Commitment in accordance with its terms, (ii) satisfying (or obtaining a waiver of) all conditions applicable to Buyer in the Debt Financing Commitment and otherwise complying in all material respects with its obligations thereunder, in each case, that are within Buyer’s control, (iii) subject to the satisfaction of all conditions or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and Buyer being required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2(a), enforcing their rights under the Debt Financing Commitment and (iv) subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and Buyer being required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2(a), direct the lenders and other Persons providing the Debt Financing to fund on or before the Closing Date the Debt Financing contemplated to be funded on the Closing Date by the Debt Financing Commitment (or such lesser amount as may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby). If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment (other than on account of a breach by the Seller of this Agreement which prevents or renders impracticable the consummation of the Debt Financing), Buyer shall promptly notify Sellers of such unavailability and, to their knowledge, the reasons thereof, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient (when taken together with the cash and Cash Equivalents of the Companies and Transferred Subsidiaries and any then-available Debt Financing pursuant to any then-existing Debt Financing Commitment) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Alternative Financing”); provided that such Alternative Financing shall not contain additional conditions that are more onerous to Buyer (in the aggregate) to the funding of the Debt Financing relative to those contained in the Debt Financing Commitment; provided, further, that in no event shall such reasonable best efforts of Buyer be deemed or construed to require Buyer to agree to economic terms of the Alternative Financing that are less favorable in the aggregate than those contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment (including any flex provisions therein). Buyer shall deliver to Sellers complete and correct copies of all amendments, supplements, other modifications or agreements pursuant to which the Debt Financing Commitment or any Alternative Financing shall be made available to Buyer; provided that fee letters relating to fees with respect to the Debt Financing Commitment or the Alternative Financing shall be redacted in a customary manner to remove references to fee amounts, pricing caps and certain flex and other economic terms (none of which would adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability or termination of such Debt Financing Commitment or Alternative Financing, or reduce the aggregate principal amount thereof). For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Alternative Financing, as hereafter amended, supplemented, modified or waived to the extent such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is permitted

by this Section 4.10(a) and references to “Debt Financing Commitment” shall include such documents as hereafter amended or supplemented to the extent permitted by this Section 4.10(a).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Marketing Period” shall mean the first period of fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days after the date of this Agreement (none of which calendar days falls within a Blackout Period and provided that each of November 26, 2015, November 27, 2015, July 1, 2016, July 4, 2016 and July 5, 2016, shall not constitute calendar days for purposes of the Marketing Period) throughout which (i) Buyer shall have the Required Financial Information, (ii) the Required Financial Information is at all times Compliant and (iii) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 are satisfied (other than (x) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at Closing, provided such conditions are then capable of being satisfied, and (y) from and after the Second End Date, the Antitrust Conditions); provided, that, the last of such fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days is not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the first Business Day of a month; provided, that if Sellers in good faith reasonably believe that the Marketing Period has commenced, Sellers may deliver to Buyer a written notice to that effect (stating when Sellers believes it had commenced), in which case the Marketing Period shall be deemed to have commenced on the date specified in that notice, unless Buyer in good faith reasonably believes that the Marketing Period has not commenced and, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such notice from Sellers, delivers a written notice to Sellers to that effect (stating with reasonable specificity why Buyer reasonably believes the Marketing Period has not commenced).

(b) Buyer shall keep Sellers reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Debt Financing. Buyer shall give Sellers prompt oral or written notice after the occurrence of any of the following: (i) any material breach of the Debt Financing Commitments by any other party to the Debt Financing Commitments of which Buyer becomes aware or (ii) the receipt of written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any material breach or default, termination or repudiation by any other party to any of the Debt Financing Commitments.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries and China Asset Seller to, use its and their reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, consultants, legal representatives, and auditors to cooperate with Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing, in each case at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders of, the Debt Financing and the members of senior management and other representatives of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries), conference calls, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions, presentations, rating agency presentations and due diligence sessions and sessions with prospective financing sources and investors; (ii) furnish Buyer and their Financing Sources as promptly as practicable with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Business, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Buyer and reasonably available to the Sellers (including the Required Financial Information); (iii) assist Buyer and their Financing Sources in the preparation of (a) bank information memoranda,

Buyer shall, promptly upon Sellers’ request, reimburse Sellers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers and their Affiliates in connection with such cooperation (other than with respect to (x) the Sellers’ obligations to deliver interim financial statements pursuant to Section 4.2(a), and (y) the compensation of the Sellers and their Affiliates’ respective employees). Sellers and the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries hereby (x) consent to the use of the Companies’ and the Transferred Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing or the Alternative Financing; provided that such logos are used in a manner that is not intended to nor reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries and (y) expressly

authorize the use of the financial statements and other information to be provided pursuant to this clause (c) for purposes of the Debt Financing or the Alternative Financing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including the foregoing) to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (A) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Sellers, the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, (B) require the Sellers, the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates to take any action that will conflict with or violate their respective Organizational Documents, contractual obligations or any Laws (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prevent such Persons from seeking any consents reasonably requested by the Buyer in connection with the Debt Financing), (C) result in any officer or director of the Sellers, the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to the Debt Financing, (D) require the Sellers to execute or deliver any definitive financing documentation in connection with the Debt Financing or require the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates to execute or deliver any definitive financing documentation in connection with the Debt Financing unless the effectiveness of such definitive documentation is conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing or (E) require Sellers, the Companies or the Transferred Companies to provide any financial statements not included in the Required Financial Information or, without limiting Section 4.2, obtain an audit of any financial statements included in the Required Financial Information; (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall require the Sellers to incur any liability or obligation (other than with respect to out-of-pocket costs and expenses subject to reimbursement or indemnification by Buyer as set forth in Section 4.10(c)) under any agreement entered into in connection with the Debt Financing, and (iii) no liability or obligation (other than with respect to out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement or indemnification by Buyer as set forth in Section 4.10(c)) of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries under any agreement entered into in connection with the Debt Financing shall be effective until the Closing Date (other than customary authorization letters provided pursuant to Section 4.10(c)).

(e) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10 but subject to the other limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges that its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein are not conditioned upon the availability or the consummation of the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing or receipt of proceeds therefrom.

(c) During the period beginning immediately following the Closing and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), Sellers shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Seller Group (other than PSSC) not to, directly or indirectly, engage in or acquire more than 5% of (or the right to acquire more than 5% of) any class of voting securities (subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.11) of any Person engaged in, a business that is directly competitive with the Business (a “Competing Business”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.11(c) shall prohibit any Seller or any other member of the Seller Group from:

(I) linear and rotary potentiometers;

(J) digital readout systems and linear feedback encoders; or

(ii) acquiring any Person or business that engages in any Competing Business (and thereafter engaging in such Competing Business) except to the extent that the Competing Business (A) constitutes at the time of acquisition less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the revenues of the Person or business acquired, and (B) has at the time of acquisition less than $20,000,000 per fiscal year in revenues derived from a Competing Business (in which case, neither Seller nor any other member of the Seller Group shall take any action intended to cause such Competing Business to exceed either of such revenues thresholds during the Non-Compete Period), or

(iii) acquiring any Person or business that engages in any Competing Business if, the applicable Seller or other member of the Seller Group divests that portion of such

Person or business that engages in the Competing Business within twelve (12) months after its acquisition of such Person or business (it being agreed that Seller or such other member of the Seller Group shall inform Buyer of its intention to divest such Competing Business and shall consider in good faith any offer timely submitted by Buyer therefor). The divestiture requirements set forth in this sub-clause (iii) of this Section 4.11(c) and in Section 4.11(e) below shall continue to apply to any Competing Business acquired during the Non-Compete Term pursuant to such exception (and notwithstanding any subsequent expiration of the Non-Compete Term).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 4.11 shall apply only to Sellers and the applicable members of the Seller Group (other than PSSC) and shall not apply to any acquiror of Seller (including any of such acquirer’s other businesses or activities). Prior to the sale to a Third Party of any member of the Seller Group that is not a party hereto (other than PSSC) occurring during the Non-Compete Period, Sellers shall cause such member of the Seller Group to execute and deliver to Buyer a written agreement to be bound by Section 4.10(c).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Competing Business that was, at the time of acquisition, a Permitted Acquisition, shall immediately cease to be a Permitted Acquisition in the event (x) as of any applicable measurement date, such Permitted Acquisition no longer falls below the thresholds set forth in either of Sections 4.11(c)(ii)(A) or (B) or (y) any member of the Seller Group brings any Litigation that contests the enforceability or validity under applicable Law of this Section 4.11(e), and upon such cessation, any such Permitted Acquisition shall become subject to the divestiture requirements of Section 4.11(c)(iii) (provided that, for the purpose of such divestiture requirement, the twelve (12) month period in such Section 4.11(c)(iii) shall be deemed to run from the date of such cessation).

(f) Each of Sellers and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 4.11 are necessary for the reasonable protection of the other party and are a material inducement for the other party to enter into this Agreement. Each of Sellers and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the other party may not have an adequate remedy at Law for any breach or threatened or attempted breach of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 4.11, and that the other party shall, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it under this Agreement or applicable Law, be entitled to equitable relief, including specific performance or injunctive relief for the enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Section 4.11. Each of Sellers and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the time, scope and geographic area of the covenants set forth in this Section 4.11 are reasonable, and if any such covenant is held to be unenforceable by reason of time, scope or geographic area, then such covenant shall be interpreted to extend to the maximum time, scope and geographic area for which it may be enforced as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final determination, and such covenant shall only apply in its reduced form. In the event of a breach or violation of this Section 4.11, the duration of the applicable covenant in this Section 4.11 shall be tolled with respect to the applicable covenant for the duration of such breach or violation.

Section 4.12 No Solicitation: Other Bidders. No Seller shall, or shall permit any member of the Seller Group or the Companies or Transferred Subsidiaries or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, stockholders, Affiliates, agents or representatives to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, seek, respond to or take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (b) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any confidential information relating to the Business or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Business or the Companies or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Person (other than Buyer and its Subsidiaries) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, (c) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Companies or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries or (d) enter into any agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or term sheet with respect to, or consummate, an Acquisition Proposal, or, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (d) above, authorize or permit the same. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Sellers shall, and shall cause the other members of the Seller Group and the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries and their respective representatives and advisors to (i) immediately cease and terminate all communications, discussions or negotiations with any other bidder or prospective acquirer (including any representatives, advisors or financing sources of or to any of such other bidders or prospective acquirers, in their capacity as such) of the Business or any of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Other Bidders”), (ii) immediately terminate access by such Other Bidders to any due diligence materials (including electronic or online data rooms), and the management personnel and facilities of the Business, and (iii) within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided to any of such Other Bidders.

Section 4.13 Further Actions. From the date hereof through the Closing, (a) Sellers and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to (i) refrain from taking any actions that would reasonably be expected to impair, delay or impede the Closing and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, use reasonable best efforts to cause all conditions to Closing to be satisfied (but not waived) as promptly as practicable and in any event on or before the End Date and (b) each party shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of the matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including with respect to satisfaction of the conditions to Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done all other things, necessary, proper or advisable in order for such party to fulfill and perform its respective obligations in respect of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including to cause the conditions to their respective obligations set forth in Article 6 to be satisfied (and not waived) and otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as promptly as practicable, including negotiating in good faith, and using reasonable best efforts to reach agreement, concerning the final form of (i) any Ancillary Agreement (or any portion of any Ancillary Agreement) that is currently incomplete or in term sheet form and (ii) the Extraction Notes. From time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of another party, without further consideration and at the expense of the party so requesting, each of the parties shall execute and deliver to such requesting party, or shall cause to be executed and delivered to such requesting party, such additional instruments or documents, and shall take or cause to be taken such other action, as

such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Agreement to the contrary shall require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to transfer or assign any assets or properties of the Business or any right in respect thereof or thereunder that was or is, as of the date of this Agreement, the Closing Date or the date upon which such request for transfer or assignment was made, material to the value or operations of the Business). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any asset or property of the Business or the Retained Businesses, as applicable, or any right in respect thereof or thereunder as to which the transfer or attempted assignment, without obtaining any consent of any Third Party, would constitute a breach thereunder. Sellers and Buyer will use their reasonable best efforts (but without payment of money by Buyer or Sellers) to obtain the consent of such Persons for the assignment of such asset or property of the Business or the Retained Business, as applicable, or any right in respect thereof or thereunder. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective (whether in furtherance of its acquisition of the Business or whether in order to further effectuate the Pre-Closing Restructuring), Sellers and Buyer will cooperate in an arrangement reasonably acceptable to both parties under which Buyer would have the same benefits and obligations as though such assignment or transfer had occurred in connection with the Closing.

Section 4.14 Pre-Closing Restructuring. Sellers shall consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions described on Exhibit A (such transactions set forth on Exhibit A, as the same may be amended (i) by mutual agreement between the US Seller and Buyer from time to time in accordance with Section 10.2 or (ii) by Seller from time to time prior to the Closing with the written consent of Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), being referred to as the “Pre-Closing Restructuring”) no later than immediately prior to the Closing. The Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall declare and pay such dividends and make such distributions as are necessary in order to distribute, immediately prior to the Closing, all cash in the Company Group that is in excess of Minimum Cash (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that such distributions shall be made and payable solely in cash and be paid prior to the Closing). Sellers and Buyers agree to use reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith between signing and Closing in order to determine whether the Pre-Closing Restructuring can be implemented in the manner described on Exhibit L (rather than as described on Exhibit A) (such transactions set forth on Exhibit L being referred to as the “Alternative Pre-Closing Restructuring”) without adversely affecting any member of the Seller Group and their respective equity holders. If Sellers reasonably determine in good faith that the Alternative Pre-Closing Restructuring may be implemented without adversely affecting any member of the Seller Group and its respective equity holders, the Sellers and Buyer will implement the Alternative Pre-Closing Restructuring; provided, that (i) the incurrence of out-of-pocket expenses by any member of the Seller Group that are reimbursed by Buyer shall not be considered to adversely affect any member of the Seller Group or their respective equity holders, (ii) the fact that the Sellers will own two additional legal entities will not be considered to adversely affect any member of the Seller Group or its respective equity holders and (iii) if Sellers reasonably determine that implementation of the Alternative Pre-Closing Restructuring will adversely affect any member of the Seller Group or its respective equity holders, Sellers will cooperate reasonably with Buyer in good faith to identify (and if identified implement)

an alternative to the Alternative Pre-Closing Restructuring that accomplishes the same objectives without having such an adverse effect.

Section 4.15 Buyer Insurance. For the three (3) year period following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, in respect of the Business, maintain insurance or self-insurance for general product liability and product recall coverage on terms consistent with such insurance maintained by Seller in respect of the Business immediately prior to the date of this Agreement (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Buyer retention constituting, or any Loss covered by, such self-insurance shall not be deemed to be Losses hereunder).

Section 4.16 Later-Discovered IP Assets. To the extent that on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller discovers, or Buyer correctly determines (and notifies Sellers in writing of such determination), that a member of the Seller Group owns or controls any Intellectual Property (excluding the trademarks that are subject to the Trademark Licenses or any software license used to provide the transition services pursuant to the Transition Service Agreement or Reverse Transition Service Agreement) that at the time of Closing (i) was used exclusively or primarily in the Business, Sellers shall assign or cause such member of the Seller Group to assign, all of their right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property to CST (or such other entity as designated by CST); provided, however, to the extent that such Intellectual Property was used by any member of the Seller Group (other than the Transferred Subsidiaries) in any of the Retained Businesses such obligation to assign such right, title and interest shall be subject to CST (or such other entity that is designated by CST to be assigned such Intellectual Property) entering into a customary perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license agreement with the Seller Group for the use of such Intellectual Property in the Retained Businesses and natural extensions thereof or (ii) was used in the Business but was not used exclusively or primarily in the Business, Sellers shall, or shall cause such member of the Seller Group to, enter into a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license agreement with CST or its designee granting CST or such designee the right to use such Intellectual Property in the Business and natural extensions thereof.

ARTICLE 5.
TAX MATTERS

Section 5.1 Straddle Periods. Items of income, gain, loss, deduction, allowance and exemption for any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the remaining portion of such Tax year or period in the following manner: (a) the amount of Taxes of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries based on or measured by income, gross or net sales, payroll, or payments or receipts for taxable periods (or potions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which a Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and (b) in the case of any other Taxes of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries (e.g., real and personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes that relate to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing shall be determined on a per diem basis (i.e., deemed to be the amount of such Tax or the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the

Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period). For the avoidance of doubt, Company Group Transaction Expenses, to the extent deductible for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes, shall, unless otherwise required by Law, be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 5.2 Tax Returns. Sellers shall be responsible for (i) preparing and timely filing all Consolidated or Combined Returns that are due after the Closing (taking into account valid extensions) and (ii) preparing all Income Tax Returns of CST and its U.S. Subsidiaries that are due after the Closing (taking into account valid extensions) and relate to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Such Income Tax Returns, and the portions of any Consolidated or Combined Returns involving a Company or any Transferred Subsidiary and that relate to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, shall be prepared in accordance with past practice except as required by applicable Tax Law. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for any such Income Tax Return or for any such Consolidated or Combined Return that includes a Company or a Transferred Subsidiary, Sellers shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) a draft copy of each such Return (or, in the case of a Consolidated or Combined Return, a pro forma return limited to the Company or Transferred Subsidiaries that are included in such Consolidated or Combined Return) to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment. Any such Tax Return (or, in the case of a Consolidated or Combined Return, the pro forma return) shall be subject to Buyer’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall cause the Companies and Transferred Companies to timely file any such Income Tax Returns timely provided by Sellers that relate to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing all other Tax Returns of the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries that are due after the Closing (taking into account valid extensions) and relate to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Income Tax Returns of the European Companies and of the non-U.S. Subsidiaries of CST, but excluding, in any case, any Consolidated or Combined Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practice except as required by applicable Tax Law and shall be prepared (w) in the case of Kavlico GmbH, by PwC, (x) in the case of Crydom SSR, by BDO, (y) in the case of BEI France, by Lexcase and (z) in the case of CST’s Mexican Subsidiaries, by Ernst & Young. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for any such Tax Return (taking into account any valid extensions), Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) a draft copy of each such Tax Return that is an Income Tax Return or is otherwise a material Tax Return to Sellers for Sellers’ review, comment and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except as required by applicable Tax Law, Buyer and the Companies shall accept any comments to such Tax Returns that are reasonably requested by Sellers in writing at least five (5) days prior to filing such Tax Returns; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Buyer, the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries from timely filing any Tax Return as prepared by Buyer (it being understood that if Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the preparation of any such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be timely filed as prepared by Buyer, subject to later amendment to reflect the final resolution of any dispute with respect thereto). Except as required by a final determination resulting from a Tax audit or other proceeding, without Sellers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) to, amend any Income Tax Returns or other Tax Returns of the

Company Group or make or change any Income Tax Return or other Tax election or accounting methods of the Company Group, in each case if such action is (i) with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, and (ii) reasonably expected to result in (x) an indemnity obligation of Sellers with respect to Taxes under this Agreement or (y) an increase in Income Taxes of the Sellers or any member of the Seller Group. The parties hereto agree to elect out of the installment sale method for all applicable Tax purposes with respect to any gain realized in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring (including in relation to the Extraction Notes).

Section 5.3 Tax Contests. Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, shall notify each other promptly upon receipt by them or any of their Affiliates of notice of any pending audit, examination, notice of deficiency, adjustment, assessment, redetermination, suit or other proceeding relating to Taxes for which such other party or parties, or their Affiliates, may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Article 8) or pursuant to applicable Law (each, a “Tax Contest”). As between Sellers and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries), on the other, the party that would be responsible (including under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement) for more than half of the amounts at issue in a Tax Contest (based on a reasonable estimation of the amounts expected to be at issue) shall have, at its sole cost, the exclusive right to control such Tax Contest; provided that the other party shall have, at its sole cost, the right to participate in any such Tax Contest. The controlling party shall (i) keep the other party informed of the progress of any such Tax Contest in a timely manner, (ii) promptly provide copies of all correspondence or other documents relating to such Tax Contest to such other party, (iii) promptly provide notice to such other party of any scheduled meetings (whether telephonic or in person) with any Taxing Authority relating to such Tax Contest, and (iv) not settle any such Tax Contest without the other party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, for any such Tax Contest relating to a Consolidated or Combined Return, Buyer’s rights under this Section 5.3 shall be applicable only to the extent related to a Company or any Transferred Subsidiary; provided, further, however, that Sellers shall have the sole and exclusive right under this Section 5.3 to control, settle and compromise any Tax Contest relating solely to a French Consolidated or Combined Return.

Section 5.4 Tax Refunds. Any cash refund of Taxes (or credits in lieu thereof) received by Buyer or any of the Companies or Transferred Subsidiaries of Taxes paid by the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, including any refund or credit attributable to estimated Income Taxes paid with respect to such periods (other than any refund or credit attributable to any loss in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date applied (e.g., as a carryback) to income in a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date) shall be delivered to the Sellers, net of any Taxes (including withholding Taxes) and reasonable out of pocket expenses of Buyer, the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries attributable to such refund or credit promptly after receipt of such refund from the applicable Taxing Authority (or, in the case of such a credit, after the filing of the Tax Return claiming such credit). Buyer shall, and after the Closing shall use its reasonably commercial efforts to cause its Affiliates (including the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries) to, use its and their reasonably commercial efforts to obtain any such refunds or credits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall not be entitled to any such refund of non-Income Taxes (or credits in lieu thereof) unless and to the extent such refund (or credit) was

All transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any Real Property transfer tax and any similar Tax but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any capital gain Taxes imposed with respect to the sale of the Shares under this Agreement) (such non-excluded Taxes, fees and charges, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer when due, and Buyer shall prepare and file all such Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and fees; provided, however, that US Seller, rather than Buyer, shall bear any Transfer Taxes imposed as a result of the Pre-Closing Restructuring and shall prepare and file any Tax Returns and other documentation with respect thereto; provided further, that if such Tax Returns or other documentation is not filed before the Closing Date, the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns or other documentation shall be governed by Section 5.2. If required by applicable Law, the other parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

Immediately following any post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price, the parties hereto agree to promptly determine in good faith whether any specific formality shall be required as a result of such adjustment in order to enable the filing party to comply with the required additional publicity or registration formalities pursuant to applicable Laws or to request from the relevant Governmental Authority a refund of unduly paid Transfer Taxes. Upon request, the filing party will provide to the other parties, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable deadline to proceed to any such publicity or registration formalities pursuant to applicable Law, copies of any documentation evidencing the performance of such formalities.

Section 5.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. To the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law, the parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made under Article 8 as an

Section 5.8 Tax Agreements and Powers of Attorney. On or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall terminate or cause to be terminated all Tax Sharing Agreements and all powers of attorney with respect to Taxes relating to the Companies or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries, in each case such that none of the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries shall have any obligations thereunder following the Closing, subject for the avoidance of doubt to the provisions of the Tax Consolidation Exit Agreement.

The provisions of Section 4.2(e), the cost reimbursement and indemnification provisions of Section 4.10, this Section

7.2, Section 7.3, Article 9 and Article 10 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no party shall be entitled to an injunction or specific performance or other equitable relief under Section 10.10 following termination of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, in no event will the Sellers or any of their Affiliates be entitled to seek or receive damages as a remedy in respect of an alleged breach of Buyer’s obligations under Section 4.3, or in connection with any termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(e) based on an alleged breach of Buyer’s obligations under Section 4.3, that in the aggregate exceed the amount of the Antitrust Termination Fee.

(c) Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Buyer fails promptly to pay the Antitrust Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to Section 7.3(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, Sellers commence a suit that results in a judgment against Buyer for the amount of the Antitrust Reverse Termination Fee, Buyer shall pay to Sellers, together with the Antitrust Reverse Termination Fee, (i) interest on the Antitrust Reverse Termination Fee at an

annual rate equal to the Interest Rate, from the date the Antitrust Reverse Termination Fee was required to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and (ii) Sellers’ costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such suit.

ARTICLE 8.

capital loss carryforwards or other Tax attributes attributable to Tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date shall not be considered in determining the existence or amount of any Loss; and

(g) the Retained Claims, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000; and

(h) (i) any Third Party Claim asserted or made prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date alleging that products sold by the Business prior to the Closing failed to conform with applicable Contractual specifications, express or implied warranties or Law, (ii) any investigation by any Governmental Authority initiated prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date concerning allegations that products sold by the Business prior to the Closing failed to conform with applicable Contractual specifications, express or implied warranties or Law; provided, that a Buyer Indemnified Party is notified in writing of such investigation, and provides such notification to Sellers, prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) any product recall initiated by the Company Group prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date related to products sold by the Business prior to the Closing as a result of the failure of such products to conform with applicable Contractual specifications, express or implied warranties or Law to the extent that the decision to initiate such product recall was reasonably consistent with industry practice or such product recall was required by any Governmental Authority or the result of any action of any Governmental Authority; provided that no claim for indemnification may be made under Section 8.2(a) with respect to any Losses resulting from any breach of representation or warranty to the extent such Losses also result from the matters described in this Section 8.2(h).

Section 8.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, and subject to this Article 8, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against, and shall pay or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any and all Losses resulting from:

(a) (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any surviving representation of Buyer in this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date (as though then made), and (ii) any breach or inaccuracy of any surviving representation of Buyer in the Ancillary Agreements or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement as of the date thereof;

(b) any breach or default in performance by Buyer of any covenant of Buyer in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(d) the ownership or conduct of the Business from and after the Closing except with respect to any matter for which Sellers are required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees or otherwise be responsible for pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 8.4 Limitations on Indemnity. Buyer and Sellers agree, for themselves and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees, as follows:

(a) No Buyer Indemnitee will assert any claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) (except for claims for indemnification resulting from breach of any Fundamental Representation, the Tax Representations solely as related to Income Taxes or Section 2.21 (Sufficiency of Assets)): (i) in respect of any Loss incurred or suffered by such Buyer Indemnitee that is not a Qualifying Loss and (ii) until such time as the aggregate of all such Qualifying Losses that Buyer Indemnitees may have under Section 8.2(a) (except for Losses resulting from breach of any Fundamental Representation, the Tax Representations solely as related to Income Taxes or Section 2.21 (Sufficiency of Assets)) exceeds $5,000,000 (the amount referred to in this clause (ii), the “Indemnity Threshold”), in which event the Buyer Indemnitees shall only be entitled to indemnification for such Qualifying Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold. The aggregate liability of Sellers in respect of all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (except for claims for indemnification arising out of any breach of any Fundamental Representation, the Tax Representations solely as related to Income Taxes or Section 2.21 (Sufficiency of Assets)) and Section 8.2(h) shall not exceed $75,000,000 (the “Cap”). Without limiting the foregoing, no Buyer Indemnitee will assert any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(h) or any matter that could give rise to a claim for breach of any other representation of Sellers that could also give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(h) (a “Product Liability Claim”) until such time as the aggregate of all such Qualifying Losses that Buyer Indemnitees may have under Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(h) in respect of all Product Liability Claims exceeds $5,000,000, in which event the Buyer Indemnitees shall only be entitled to indemnification for such Qualifying Losses in respect of Product Liability Claims in excess of $5,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnity Threshold will not apply to Product Liability Claims. The aggregate liability of Sellers for all claims or Losses under Article 8 (except for Losses resulting from a breach of any Post-Closing Covenant or Losses under Section 8.2(e)) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) No Seller Indemnitee will assert any claims for indemnification under Section 8.3(a) (except for claims for indemnification or arising out of any breach of any Fundamental Representation): (i) in respect of any Loss incurred or suffered by such Seller Indemnitee that is not a Qualifying Loss and (ii) until such time as the aggregate of all such Qualifying Losses that Seller Indemnitees may have under Section 8.3(a) exceeds an amount equal to the Indemnity Threshold, in which event the Seller Indemnitees shall only be entitled to indemnification for such Qualifying Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold. The aggregate liability of Buyer in respect of all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) (except for claims for indemnification arising out of any breach of any Fundamental Representation) shall not exceed the Cap. The aggregate liability of Buyer for all claims or Losses under Section 8.3(a) and 8.3(b) (except for Losses resulting from a breach of any covenant to be performed after the Closing) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) Any liability for any Loss subject to indemnification under this Article 8 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of this Agreement. No Person shall be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement in respect of any Loss to the extent that such recovery would constitute a duplicative payment of any amounts included in the calculation of the purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 1.3.

(d) With respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement: (i) all Losses (other than Losses with respect to the China Business) shall be net of net Tax benefits actually realized by Buyer Indemnitees in connection with the relevant Losses prior to the making of the applicable indemnity payment; provided that to the extent any net Tax benefit is actually realized in the two (2) taxable periods succeeding the taxable period in which such Loss occurred, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers within thirty (30) days the amount of such net Tax benefit, reduced by any Taxes (including withholding Taxes) and expenses related thereto; (ii) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible Third Party Proceeds and (iii) in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, except if and to the extent any such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party pursuant to a Third Party Claim or otherwise paid to any Third Party, including any Governmental Authority. A Tax benefit shall be deemed to be actually realized if and to the extent the Buyer Indemnitees’ cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of a taxable period, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the applicable Loss (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in Tax), exceeds the Buyer Indemnitees’ actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable period, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the applicable Loss (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items attributable to the applicable Loss as the last items claimed for any taxable period).

notice. The parties agree that (i) in this Article 8 they intend to shorten (in the case of the limited survival periods specified in Section 8.1) or extend (in the case of the unlimited survival periods specified in Section 8.1) the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to certain claims, (ii) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement (other than a Post-Closing Covenant) must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, (iii) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a Post-Closing Covenant must be delivered prior to the date that is six months after the later of the last day of the effective period of such Post-Closing Covenant and the date the Indemnified Party become aware of such breach (provided that this limitation shall not apply to Section 1.1, or Section 4.14) and (iv) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with the preceding subclauses (i) and (ii) shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived, provided that if, prior to such applicable date, a party shall have notified any other party in accordance with the requirements of this Section 8.5(a) of a claim for indemnification under this Article 8 (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article 8 notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date.

The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from the Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge is on exclusively monetary terms and does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any

wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (ii) not encumber or agree to encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition or other non-monetary relief that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of a Third Party Claim (and the Indemnified Party shall control such defense (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to approve any settlement thereof (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed))) to the extent that it (i) seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot reasonably be separated from any claim for monetary damages, (ii) involves any customer or supplier of the Business, the Companies or the Transferred Subsidiaries and such Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to materially impair Buyer’s, any Company’s or any Transferred Subsidiary’s relationship with such customer or supplier or (iii) has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in Losses that (A) would exceed the Cap or (B) assuming the Indemnity Threshold remains applicable, would not be likely to cause the Indemnity Threshold to be exceeded, individually or in the aggregate with any other claims for indemnification that are subject to the Indemnity Threshold. If the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to control the defense of a Third Party Claim under this Section 8.5(c), then the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall pay such expenses if the Indemnifying Party was requested by the Indemnified Party to so participate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8 (including Section 8.1 and Section 8.3), (i) no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article 8 for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party (unless consent was unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be fully indemnified and held harmless under this Article 8 for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnifying Party without the consent of such Indemnified Party, in each case, provided that such consent was required pursuant to this Section 8.5 and such requisite consent has not been unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) In the event any Indemnifying Party receives notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the

Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8. Within the 30-day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such dispute notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist each other in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt to agree upon the rights and obligations of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims for indemnity as to which the Indemnifying Party disputes liability, and any agreement reached regarding their respective rights with respect to any of such claims shall be set forth in a written agreement signed by the parties. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree as to any particular item or amount, then either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may submit such dispute for resolution in accordance with Section 10.4(b).

Section 10.6 Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter and the Buyer Disclosure Letter and the schedules and exhibits hereto), the Ancillary Agreements (when executed and delivered), any certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreements constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

107

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Buyer Disclosure Letter, no party nor any of its Nonparty Affiliates makes or has made any representation or warranty whatsoever, whether written or oral, express or implied, other than those representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as applicable), and no party is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, whether written or oral, express or implied, made by the other party or such other party’s Nonparty Affiliates, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth herein or therein. In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer (A) has made its own inquiry and investigations into and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning the Companies, the Transferred Subsidiaries, the Business and the Assets, (B) has been provided with adequate access to such information, documents and other materials relating to the Companies, their respective Subsidiaries, the Business and the Assets as it has deemed necessary to enable it to form such independent judgment, (C) has had such time as Buyer deems necessary and appropriate to fully and completely review and analyze such information, documents and other materials and (D) has been provided an opportunity to ask questions of Seller and its representatives with respect to such information, documents and other materials and have received satisfactory answers to such questions, and (ii) except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 2, any cost estimates, projections and predictions contained or referred to in the materials that have been provided or made available to Buyer by or on behalf of any Seller are not, and shall not be deemed to be, representations or warranties of Sellers or any of their Nonparty Affiliates, and none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties, whether written or oral, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of such information, documents and other materials, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.6 shall limit Buyer’s right to rely on the representations and warranties set forth herein and to obtain indemnification for breaches thereof in accordance with Article 8 hereof and nothing herein shall operate to limit any claim for fraud.

Section 10.7 Disclosure Letters. Any item or matter disclosed in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Buyer Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosed in any other section or subsection only to the extent that such item or matter is reasonably apparent on its face to be so applicable to such other section or subsection. The disclosure of any item or matter in the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Buyer Disclosure Letter shall not be construed as an admission, representation or indication that such item or other matter is “material” or would have a Material Adverse Effect or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Buyer Disclosure Letter (as applicable), nor shall such disclosure establish a standard of materiality for any purpose. The disclosure of any item or matter relating to any possible breach or violation of any law or contract shall not be construed by any Third Party as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 10.8 Severability. If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any

108

extent whatsoever. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.9 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Except for (i) Sections 5.1, 8.2 and 8.3, which are intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the parties specified therein, and (ii) each of the Persons whose liability is limited in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3 to the extent provided therein, including the Financing Sources, who shall be express Third Party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on, Sections 7.2, 7.3, 10.2, 10.4, 10.10, 10.11 and this Section 10.9, this Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto are not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof.

Section 10.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief permitted by this Agreement on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Sellers be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing and recover the Antitrust Reverse Termination Fee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 10.10(a), it is acknowledged and agreed that Sellers shall be entitled to specific performance of Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing if and only if (i) the Marketing Period has ended, (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 (other than those conditions that by

109

their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, provided such conditions are then capable of being satisfied) have been satisfied or waived, (iii) Sellers stands ready, willing and able consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and have irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Buyer that they are prepared to consummate the Closing, and (iv) Buyer shall have failed to consummate the Closing by the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 1.2(a).

Section 10.11 Non-recourse. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (and, in each case, subject to the respective terms, conditions and limitations therein and with respect to only the Persons that are expressly named as parties thereto), all claims, actions, obligations, Liabilities, Litigation or causes of action (in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any Litigation, by virtue of any Law and whether by or through any attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto or another Person or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties in the preamble to this Agreement (and their successors and permitted assigns). No Person who is not a party hereto, including any past, present or future incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, equityholder, Affiliate, manager, officer, director, employee, accountant, counsel, consultant, advisor, representative, agent or assignee of, and any financial advisor or Financing Source to, any party hereto, or any past, present or future incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, equityholder, Affiliate, manager, officer, director, employee, accountant, counsel, consultant, advisor, representative, agent or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any Liability (in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any Litigation, by virtue of any Law and whether by or through any attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto or another Person or otherwise) for any claims, actions, obligations, Liabilities, Litigation or causes of action arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each party hereto hereby waives and releases all such claims, actions, obligations, Liabilities, Litigation and causes of action against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (and subject to the respective terms, conditions and limitations therein and with respect to only the Persons expressly named as parties thereto and their successors and permitted assigns), each party hereto disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement.

C-2

will be made to the Target Working Capital so that it is consistent with the policies applied in the preparation of the Closing Working Capital.

Inventory


•	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value after making a reserve for slow moving or obsolete items. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition and an absorption of manufacturing overhead. A standard to actual adjustment is made to inventory in order to capitalize variances.

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [•] (the “Effective Date”) by and between CUSTOM SENSORS & TECHNOLOGIES LTD., a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales and CROUZET AUTOMATISMES S.A.S., a Société par Actions Simplifiée organized under the laws of France (collectively, “Provider”), and Sensata Technologies Holding N.V., a besloten vennootschap organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“Buyer”) ( “Recipient”). Provider and Recipient are referred to collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Provider and Recipient, among others, are parties to that certain Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of [•] (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Provider has agreed to sell to Recipient, and Recipient has agreed to purchase from Provider, the CST Shares, (ii) if (and only if) French Seller exercises the European Purchase Option, French Seller will sell to Recipient, and Recipient will purchase from French Seller, the European Company Shares and (iii) China Asset Seller has agreed to sell and convey to Recipient, and Recipient has agreed to purchase and assume from China Asset Seller, the China Assets and the China Liabilities; and

WHEREAS, Provider has agreed to provide or to cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide to Recipient or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries, from and after the Effective Date, certain services on a transitional basis on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:

____________________

¹ Note to Draft: This form is intended to be used as the basis, subject to reversing the Parties and other conforming changes, of the Reverse Transition Services Agreement as well.

D-1

1.Transition Services.

(a)Recipient and the Business will be affected by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and, following consummation of the transactions, may not have access to certain support and services as before such consummation. It is the intent of the Parties to this Agreement to provide for the smooth and efficient functional separation of the Business and the retained businesses of Seller and for the efficient operation of the Business and the retained businesses of Seller during such separation. To that end, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Provider shall provide, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide, the services set forth on Schedule A² (the “Transition Services”) to Recipient.

____________________

²Note to Draft: Buyer and Seller will cooperate in good faith prior to the Closing Date to further develop the nature and scope of Transition Services to be provided during the term of the Transition Service Agreement and the Reverse Transition Service Agreement (in modification of or addition to those services set forth on the draft Schedule A attached hereto), consistent with objectives set forth in Section 1(a) and the purposes of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, with respect to any services (and only such services) that (i) are reasonably necessary for Buyer to conduct the Business with the Companies and the Transferred Subsidiaries, or for the Seller to conduct the Retained Businesses, (ii) were provided by the Seller Group to the Business, or by the Business to Seller’s Retained Businesses, as previously conducted at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Time, then such services will be added as additional Transition Services hereunder. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith any terms and conditions regarding the provision of such additional Transition Services, it being understood and agreed that (x) the cost for any such additional Transition Service will be determined on a basis consistent with the manner as the cost for such Transition Service was calculated and allocated to the Business taken as a whole for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements, and (y) the term of providing such additional Transition Service will be consistent with the period for which similar Transition Services are provided as set forth on Schedule A hereto, or as otherwise reasonably necessary to permit a smooth and efficient transition of the Business and of such service from the Provider to the Recipient and its Affiliates. With repect to any Transition Services set forth on the draft Schedule A, the Parties will (i) to the extent either Buyer or Seller notifies the other that they reasonably believe it is necessary to specify additional detail with respect to the Transition Services set forth on Schedule A, negotiate in good faith to further specify such services and (ii) more fully specify the pricing with respect to such Transition Services set forth on Schedule A on a basis consistent with the principles specified thereon.

D-2

(b)In the event a service performed by Provider or an Affiliate prior to the Closing is not included in the services listed in Schedule A, but is required for the conduct of the Business³ after the Closing (each an “Omitted Service”), Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, such Omitted Service at Recipient’s written request in the same manner (in accordance with Section 4) as such Omitted Service was previously provided prior to the Closing Date. Such Omitted Service shall be provided for a fee calculated in the same manner as the cost of such Omitted Service was calculated and allocated to the Business taken as a whole for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements. Any Omitted Service provided shall thereafter be deemed “Transition Services” for all purposes of this Agreement, and Schedule A shall be amended by the Parties in good faith to reflect any such Omitted Services.

(c)Recipient acknowledges that Provider may provide the Transition Services directly, through any of their Affiliates or (subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement) through one or more third parties engaged by Provider to provide the Transition Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)Subject to the provisions of Article 7, nothing in this Agreement shall require Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Transition Service if the provision of such Transition Service by Provider conflicts with or violates any applicable Law, any contract or agreement to which Provider is a party or the rights of any third party with respect thereto. If Provider becomes aware of any potential conflict or violation on the part of Provider, Provider may suspend or cease providing such Transition Service; provided that Provider uses commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise Recipient in writing of such potential conflict or violation and to cooperate in good faith with Recipient to implement any alternative identified by Recipient that resolves such conflict or violation.

2.Term and Termination.

(a)The term and provision of a particular Transition Service shall be as set forth on Schedule A (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof). The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof) until the date on which the provision of all Transition Services has terminated or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

____________________

³Note to Draft: “Reverse” TSA will reference services performed by the Transferred Companies to the Retained Businesses. Reverse TSA will include a provision that services will not be required to be provided to the extent the Business does not include assets or employees sufficient or necessary to provide such services.

D-3

(b)Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party on or after the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)the other Party is in breach of any payment obligation under this Agreement in any material respect (other than any payment that is being disputed in good faith) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice of such breach from the non-defaulting Party; or

(ii)the other Party voluntarily files or involuntarily has filed against it (which, in the case of an involuntary filing, is not dismissed within ten (10) Business Days of such filing), any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or reorganization proceeding.

(c)Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to any particular Transition Service, in whole but not in part, for any reason or no reason upon providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Provider of such termination; provided that any cost incurred or continued to be borne by Provider in connection with such termination that would not have been incurred or borne by Provider if the applicable Transition Service had been provided for the entire term set forth on Schedule A (including, but not limited to continuing license fee payments for software licenses or consents acquired specifically to provide Transition Services for the term set forth in Schedule A) shall be borne by Recipient, but only after Provider has taken commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate such costs. Schedule A shall be deemed amended to reflect any terminated Transition Service. Such termination shall be effective as of the first day that is both the first day of a calendar month and at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice (or the first day of such later calendar month as is identified as the effective termination date in such written notice). In the event of the termination of a Transition Service that is interdependent with another Transition Service, Provider will upon receipt of such termination notice inform Recipient of the nature of such interdependency and identify the Transition Services that are interdependent on the Transition Service proposed to be terminated. If Recipient does not rescind such termination and informs Provider that it nonetheless wishes to terminate a Transition Service, then the identified interdependent Transition Service shall also be terminated unless the Parties otherwise agree on an alternative means of providing such interdependent service and (if appropriate and agreed) revised fees in connection therewith.

(d)For so long as Provider is providing any Transition Service hereunder and for one year thereafter, Provider will keep and maintain books and records of the Transition Services provided and reasonable supporting documentation of all material costs incurred in connection with providing such Transition Services, which books and records shall be at least as comprehensive and detailed as those Provider keeps for itself. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall deliver to the other Party all books, records, files or other documents used by such Party in the performance of the Services and owned by the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable; provided that the Party delivering such records may retain a copy of such records and information for archival purposes in accordance with such Party’s document retention policy and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, subject to the requirements of Section 11.

D-4

(e)In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, this Agreement shall cease to have further force or effect, and neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party with respect to this Agreement; provided that:

(i)termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not release a Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued as of or prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, as applicable, and shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims which a Party may have hereunder at Law, in equity or otherwise or which may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration, subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 10); and

(ii)Section 2(d) (Records), this Section 2(e) (Survival), Section 10 (Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification), Section 11 (Confidentiality) and Section 12 (Miscellaneous) shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

3.Standard of Care. Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, the Transition Services with at least the standard of care employed with respect to performance of comparable services for Provider’s own businesses and Affiliates.

4.Manner of Performance; Utilization Levels; Suspension.

(a)Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, the Transition Services in substantially the same manner (which will be of like kind and amount and provided in the manner and at a relative level of service, for the same purposes and with the same degree of care, skill and attention, including with respect to the quality and timeliness of such services, in all material respects) as any such Transition Services have been provided to the Business⁴ in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Date (including with respect to the number of employees dedicated to providing such Transition Services); provided that Provider may modify the manner in which it provides the Transition Services to conform to modifications in the manner in which Provider or its Affiliates generally provide services to their own businesses or as required by contracts with third parties or contractors, but only if such modifications would not result in a material impact on the Business or its operations or the Recipient or the Business generally being treated any less favorably than Provider or its Affiliates receiving such services. To the extent Provider may be limited in its ability to provide the Transition Services due to a limitation in resources, Provider agrees to perform the Transition Services in this Agreement on a priority equal to a priority in which it provides services to itself and its Affiliates.

____________________

⁴Note to Draft: For the “Reverse TSA”, this Section will reference the Retained Businesses as supported by the Sellers during the 12 months prior to Effective Date.

D-5

(b)It is the intention of the Parties that Recipient’s use of any Transition Service shall not be materially higher than or expanded from level of utilization of the Business in the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Date and any ordinary increased utilization consistent with past growth rates of the Business in the ordinary course. Provider shall have no obligation to provide Recipient with any levels of Transition Service or changes to Transition Services beyond that which is expressly agreed to herein (including the Omitted Services pursuant to Section 1(b)).

(c)Recipient acknowledges that the Transition Services may, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of Provider, be interrupted, suspended, allocated, reduced, temporarily altered or changed in whole or in part for (i) reasonable and ordinary course or necessary modifications or maintenance relating to the Transition Services and (ii) any other reasonable matters to the extent such matters affect Provider and its Affiliates receiving the same services (the “Service Suspensions”); provided, however, that Provider shall conduct any Service Suspension for the Transition Services consistent with past practice of the Business and similarly to treatment of the same or similar suspensions by Provider with respect to provision of services to its and its Affiliates’ businesses. Provider shall consider the impact of any such Service Suspension on Recipient, cooperate in good faith with Recipient and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse consequences to Recipient consistent with the manner in which it does so for its and its Affiliates’ businesses and the past practice of the Business. Except in emergency situations, Provider shall notify Recipient as promptly as practicable before (or in the case of emergency situations, as promptly as practicable after) any Service Suspension.

(d)If Provider delegates any of its responsibilities under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or (with the prior consent of Recipient (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) uses subcontractors in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then Provider will remain ultimately and fully responsible to the same extent as if Provider were performing such obligations itself, including ensuring that the obligations with respect to the nature, quality and standards of care set forth herein are satisfied with respect to any services provided by such Affiliate or subcontractor. Further, if Provider delegates any Transition Service provided hereunder to a subcontractor, then (except to the extent such Transition Service has been historically provided to the Business by such subcontractor prior to the Closing Date) Provider will be responsible for any additional costs, attributable to the delegation, in excess of the costs that were charged to Recipient prior to such delegation to a subcontractor for such Transition Service (such costs, in each case, determined in a manner consistent with the determination and calculation of such cost for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements).

5.Service Charges.

(a)Fees and Expenses. The fees or basis for calculating the fees for the Transition Services shall be as set forth in Schedule A. Provider represents that such fees are based on Provider’s costs, determined and calculated on a basis consistent with the manner in which such costs were calculated and allocated to the Business for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements, bearing the same relation to actual costs as historically has been the case for the type of service.

D-6

(b)Taxes. Except as expressly noted therein, the amounts set forth on Schedule A with respect to each Transition Service do not include any sales, use, value added, goods and services or similar taxes (collectively, and together with any interest, penalties or additions to tax imposed with respect thereto, “Sales Taxes”), and Recipient shall promptly reimburse Provider for any such Sales Taxes (on a grossed up basis) required to be paid or withheld by Provider (including any such Taxes included in amounts paid by Provider to any third party provider of Service) in connection with this Agreement or the performance hereof, which reimbursement shall be in addition to the amounts required to be paid as set forth on Schedule A and shall be made in accordance with Section 5(c). Recipient shall pay the full amount of any Transition Service invoice without deduction or withholding for any taxes, provided that, in the event any amount is required by Law to be withheld on account of any taxes, Recipient shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amount and will gross-up the amount paid to Provider to equal the amount required to be paid on the invoice inclusive of taxes. Provider and Recipient shall each use their reasonable efforts to mitigate any such requirement to withhold any amounts on account of taxes.

(c)Payment. Provider shall invoice Recipient for the Transition Services on a monthly basis. Each invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the applicable Transition Services provided during such period, the basis for computing the charges and the corresponding amounts owed. Recipient shall remit payment for all fees and expenses in connection with the Transition Services within sixty (60) days after the date of the applicable invoice.

(d)Finance Charge. If Recipient fails to make any payment within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment was due to Provider, a finance charge of one percent (1.0%) per month or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by applicable Law, payable by Recipient to Provider, shall accrue on such unpaid amount from the date of the applicable invoice to the date such payment is received by Provider. In addition, Recipient shall indemnify Provider for their costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred to collect any unpaid amount.

6.Cooperation; Information and Access. The Parties will cooperate in good faith in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Transition Services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recipient will provide Provider (and, as applicable, Provider’s Affiliates and third party providers) in a timely manner, with all information and access to facilities required or reasonably requested by Provider (and, as applicable, Provider’s Affiliates), in each case to the extent necessary to provide the Transition Services. If Recipient or its Affiliates is given access, whether on site or through remote facilities, to Provider’s or its Affiliates’ computer systems, electronic data storage systems or software (collectively, the “Systems”) in connection with the Transition Services, they shall comply with the applicable system security policies, information technology procedures and user terms and requirements of Provider, any Affiliate or any third party. Recipient and its Affiliates shall access and use only those Systems for which Provider or its Affiliates have granted access and use and solely for the purpose of receiving the Transition Services. In no event shall Provider be required to provide any information with respect to the Retained Businesses.

7.Third Party Consents. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, to the extent that the provision of any Transition Services to Recipient or its Affiliates under this Agreement requires any third party consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals (collectively, “Required

D-7

Consents”), the obligation to provide such Transition Services is contingent upon receipt of such Required Consents, it being acknowledged and understood that those third parties are not bound to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Seller will pay any commercially reasonable amounts required in order to obtain the Required Consents in order to permit Provider to provide the Transition Services as contemplated hereby, and such additional costs will not be “passed through” as costs of the Transition Services except solely to the extent consistent with the costs of such Transition Services prior to the Closing Date and for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements. To the extent that Provider fails to obtain any Required Consents, Provider and Recipient will cooperate in good faith to secure an arrangement, at Seller’s cost (to the extent incremental to the costs of such Transition Service as determined and calculated in accordance with past practice prior to the Closing Date and for purposes of the preparation of the Financial Statements), that is reasonably acceptable to both Parties under which Buyer would obtain the benefit of such Transition Service. Provider shall also, at Recipient’s cost and expense, provide reasonable assistance necessary to facilitate Recipient’s efforts to transfer (or “split off” as the case may be) to Recipient and/or its Affiliates that portion of outstanding third party vendor software and system licenses remaining in Provider’s or its Affiliate’s name/account and being utilized in the Business after the Closing.

8.Migration Assistance; Additional Services.

(a)In connection with the separation of the Business from Provider’s other businesses, upon the written request of Recipient, Provider shall transfer or copy, as the case may be, all data in its possession or under its control related to the Business in its existing data format or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties. The transfer or copying of such data, together with reasonable consultation in connection therewith , shall be Provider’s sole obligations with respect to migration of systems and services to Recipient and/or its Affiliates and shall be set out in a mutually agreed upon migration plan or as otherwise reasonably requested by Recipient. Recipient shall reimburse Provider for the cost of providing such assistance as set forth on Schedule B or on such other basis as they mutually agree in writing.

(b)If requested in writing by Recipient, Provider shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the services described on Schedule A under the heading “Additional Services”. The obligation to provide such services shall be subject to the continued employment by Provider or its Affiliates. of the employees who are capable of providing such services and such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require Provider or its Affiliates to retain such employees. The parties acknowledge that such services were not included in the Financial Statements and shall be recharged at the fully loaded employment cost (meaning salary, payroll taxes, bonus, vacation pay, fringe benefits) for the applicable employees according to the actual time spent providing such Additional Services, without attribution of general and administrative overhead. Recipient shall reimburse Provider for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Provider in connection with the provision of such services including, in the case of the FP&A Services, an allocated share of the HFM License equal to $7,000 per month.

9.Intellectual Property. Except with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights transferred or assigned to Recipient pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, all firmware and software

D-8

(including any license rights or rights of use) copyright and any and all other Intellectual Property Rights in all materials, including computer programs, documentation, reports, modifications thereof, and all other information shall be owned by the Party that (or whose Affiliate or third party service provider) developed, wrote, or produced such Intellectual Property. No license, express or implied, is being granted by the Parties under this Agreement, other than to the extent necessary for performance of the applicable Transition Services.

10.Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.

(a)Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING AS TO STANDARD OF CARE), THE TRANSITION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, GUARANTEES OR REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND RECIPIENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHER WARRANTY, CONDITION, GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSITION SERVICES.

(h)Severability. If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.

CHINA BILL OF SALE AND ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

THIS CHINA BILL OF SALE AND ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Bill of Sale”) is made as of [•] (the “Closing Date”) by and between [Custom Sensors & Technologies (Huizhou) Limited (科施传感科技 (惠州) 有限公司), a wholly-foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC (the “China Asset Seller”)], and [•], a wholly-foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC (the “China Asset Buyer”).

WHEREAS, the China Asset Seller, Sensata Technologies Holding N.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands that [directly/indirectly] wholly owns the China Asset Buyer (the “Parent”) and certain other parties named therein entered into that certain Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of [•], 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Parent has assigned all of its rights and obligations with respect to the China Assets and China Liabilities under the Purchase Agreement to the China Asset Buyer purchase to Section 10.5 of the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the China Asset Seller desires (i) to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the China Asset Buyer all right, title and interest that the China Asset Seller possesses in and to all of the China Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and described in Exhibit A) and (ii) to assign, transfer and delegate all of the China Liabilities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and described in Exhibit B) to the China Asset Buyer.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the China Asset Seller and the China Asset Buyer agree as follows:

1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2.Sale and Assignment. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Bill of Sale and the Purchase Agreement, the China Asset Seller (i) hereby sells, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the China Asset Buyer and its successors and assigns, at and as of the Closing Date, all right, title and interest that the China Asset Seller possesses in and to all of the China Assets, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, and (ii) hereby assigns, transfers and delegates all of the China Liabilities to the China Asset Buyer.

3.Purchase and Assumption. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Bill of Sale and the Purchase Agreement, the China Asset Buyer (i) hereby purchases, accepts and acquires from the China Asset Seller such China Assets at and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) hereby assumes and agrees to pay, discharge and perform when due, as applicable, such China Liabilities.

F-1

4.Limitation on Assignment of China Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Bill of Sale to the contrary, this Bill of Sale shall not constitute an agreement to assign or convey any such Assets or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment or conveyance, without the consent of, or other action (including any filing, registration or approval procedure with respect to such assignment or conveyance) (collectively, the “Consent and Action”) by, any person or entity, would constitute a breach of any applicable legal or contractual restriction upon such assignment or conveyance and such Consent and Action has not been obtained or completed on or prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Assets”). The China Asset Buyer and the China Asset Seller shall take such actions with respect to the Non-Assignable Assets as are reasonably necessary to obtain or complete such Consent and Action.

5.Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale of the China Assets, the China Asset Buyer shall (i) pay to the China Asset Seller the sum of [•] and (ii) assume the China Liabilities pursuant to this Bill of Sale.

6.Representations and Warranties. This Bill of Sale is being delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and is not intended to create any representation or warranty inconsistent with, in addition to, or extending beyond the term of, those contained in the Purchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Bill of Sale shall in any way supersede, modify, replace, amend, change, rescind, expand, exceed or enlarge or reduce or in any way affect the provisions, including the warranties, covenants, agreements, conditions, or in general, any rights, remedies or obligations of the China Asset Seller or the China Asset Buyer set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the provisions of this Bill of Sale and the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall govern and prevail, and any such provision in this Bill of Sale shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate any such conflict, inconsistency, ambiguity or difference.

7.Further Assurances. Each party agrees, upon the reasonable request of the other party hereto, it will execute and deliver, without any additional consideration, but otherwise at no cost to such party, any other documents or instruments of any kind or character and to perform any acts that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to properly carry out the terms and provisions of this Bill of Sale.

Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Bill of Sale, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Bill of Sale or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

9.Severability. If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Bill of Sale is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Bill of Sale so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

This SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT (“Subcontract Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____ day of _____ __, 201_, by and among BEI Sensors & Systems Company, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Prime Contractor”), [SDI NewCo], a Delaware [corporation] (“Subcontractor”) and Custom Sensors & Technologies Ltd., a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“US Seller”) as financial guarantor of Subcontractor. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

A. Prime Contractor has entered into certain Government Contracts with the United States Government listed on Exhibit A (the “Subject Contracts”).

B. US Seller, Crouzet Automatismes S.A.S., a Société par Actions Simplifiée organized under the laws of France (“French Seller”), Custom Sensors & Technologies (Huizhou) Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of China (“China Asset Seller”; and together with US Seller and French Seller, “Sellers”), and and Sensata Technologies Holding N.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“Buyer”) have entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2015 (the “Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement”) whereby Buyer will purchase Prime Contractor from Sellers.

C. As a result of the Pre-Closing Restructuring (and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to and in accordance to the terms of the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement), prior to the Closing Date the assets and certain Excluded Employees required by the Prime Contractor to perform the Subject Contracts will be transferred to Subcontractor as part of the Retained US Businesses.

D. Subcontractor and Prime Contractor intend to enter into a customary Novation Agreement (as defined below) which, upon the approval and acceptance of the United States Government, will transfer and assign the Subject Contracts to Subcontractor.

E. Pending acceptance of the aforementioned Novation Agreement by the United States Government, Subcontractor and Prime Contractor desire to enter into this Subcontract Agreement whereby Subcontractor will perform the Subject Contracts, to the same extent as if the Subject Contracts had already been novated, on a basis as provided in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement and this Subcontract Agreement.

H-1

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, Prime Contractor and Subcontractor agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURPOSE OF SUBCONTRACT

Prime Contractor hereby subcontracts to Subcontractor, and Subcontractor agrees to provide, any and all goods, equipment and services required or agreed to be provided by Prime Contractor under each Subject Contract, including any and all amendments, options, modifications, and purchase orders thereunder executed prior to the Closing Date or on or after the Closing Date in accordance with Article IV hereof (collectively, the “Subcontractor Services”).

Each of Prime Contractor and Subcontractor acknowledge and agree that the intent of this Subcontract Agreement is to provide to Subcontractor, to the fullest extent permissible under each Subject Contract and applicable Law, the economic and operational benefits and burdens as though the parties shall have received the necessary consent to assignment or novation of each such Subject Contracts. In furtherance of the foregoing, Subcontractor acknowledges and agrees that all Losses incurred by Prime Contractor under this Subcontract Agreement or any Subject Contract constitute indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(e) of the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement.

Except for (x) a reorganization or change of corporate form that would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Subcontractor to receive the economic benefits and burdens of the applicable Subject Contract or to novate any Subject Contract, or (y) any failure resulting from, arising out of or relating to a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or covenant provided by Sellers under the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, Prime Contractor shall remain a valid and existing corporation duly organized under applicable Law until the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE II.

TERM

The term of this Subcontract Agreement is from the date of execution of this Subcontract Agreement until all of the Subject Contracts covered by this Subcontract Agreement have been (1) duly assigned and/or novated to Subcontractor, (2) fully performed by Subcontractor, (3) replaced by a successor contract between Subcontractor and the applicable Governmental Authority, or (4) terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the terms of this Subcontract Agreement will terminate with respect to any specific Subject Contract covered by this Subcontract Agreement on the date on which such Subject Contract is (1) duly assigned to Subcontractor, and/or, if required by the applicable Governmental Authority, novated to Subcontractor, (2) fully performed by Subcontractor, (3) replaced by a successor contract between Subcontractor and the applicable Governmental Authority, or (4) terminates in accordance with its terms (the events contemplated by this provision, a “Partial Termination”).

H-2

ARTICLE III.

INCORPORATION AND STATEMENTS OF WORK

Any reference to the Subject Contracts in this agreement shall be deemed to include (but not be limited to) any of the contracts and modifications, statements of work, delivery orders, supplements, schedules, amendments, and change orders issued and to be issued by the United States Government, each of which have become effective prior to the date hereof (or are approved by Subcontractor under Article IV), listed in Exhibit A and hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Once made part of this Subcontract Agreement, any reference in such Subject Contracts to the “Government” or the “Contracting Officer” will mean Prime Contractor, and any reference to the “Seller” or “Contractor” will mean Subcontractor, except “Government” and “Contracting Officer” do not change (i) in the phrase “Government Property,” “Government Owned Property,” “Government Equipment,” and “Government Owned Equipment;” (ii) when a right, act, authorization, or obligation can be granted or performed only by the Government or the Contracting Officer or his duly appointed representative; (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement or this Subcontract Agreement, when access to Prime Contractor’s proprietary financial information or other proprietary data is required by the Government; (iv) when title to property is to be transferred directly to the Government; and (v) when rights to Intellectual Property are to be granted to the Government. With respect to these incorporated clauses, the parties agree that said clauses are not subject to literal interpretation if such interpretation is inconsistent with the prime/subcontractor relationship as specified by provisions that have been included specifically in this Subcontract Agreement or the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE IV.

RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

PRIOR TO ASSIGNMENT/NOVATION

With respect to any Subject Contracts covered by this Subcontract Agreement that have not been assigned or novated to Subcontractor prior to the date of execution of this Subcontract Agreement, until the obligation in respect of such Subject Contract is terminated in accordance with Article II, Prime Contractor and Subcontractor will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to relieve Prime Contractor of any and all liability with respect to, and provide Subcontractor with, to the fullest extent permissible under each Subject Contract and applicable Law, the economic and operational benefits and burdens as though the parties shall have received the necessary consent to assignment or novation of each such Subject Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for (x) the Prime Contractor’s obligations to cooperate with the novation of the Prime Contracts as provided hereunder and (ii) routine administration of the Subject Contracts including, without limitation, (w) the submission of invoices in respect of the Subject Contracts, (x) the collection of amounts due thereunder, (y) the remittance of such amounts to the Subcontractor and (z) the submission of certifications, correspondence and other paperwork prepared by Subcontractor to the Contracting Officer or other third parties in connection with the Subject Contracts in the ordinary course of business, Prime Contractor shall not be required to take any action requested by Subcontractor with respect the performance of its

H-3

obligations hereunder, the performance of which would interfere with the Business in any material respect.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Prime Contractor agrees that until the Partial Termination expiration of a Subject Contract, (1) any correspondence, invoices, or other written submissions, including bids or proposals for new or additional work, requests for equitable adjustments, claims, contract modifications, and requests for final decisions in connection with the Subject Contracts will be prepared by Subcontractor in the name of Prime Contractor and coordinated with and submitted for approval, and certification if appropriate, of Prime Contractor (which approval and certification may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), signed or certified promptly by Prime Contractor, if approved, and submitted by Prime Contractor (at Subcontractor’s expense) to the United States Government; (2) Prime Contractor shall not agree to any bilateral modification to the Subject Contracts or waiver of any of Subcontractor’s rights under the Subject Contracts without the prior written consent of Subcontractor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (3) Prime Contractor shall maintain (at Subcontractor’s expense) an active registration in the System for Award Management (“SAM”) located at www.sam.gov; and (4) any correspondence, proposed amendment or modification, claim, cure notice, notice of default, or other written communication received by Prime Contractor in connection with the Subject Contracts will promptly be forwarded by Prime Contractor to Subcontractor.

ARTICLE V.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

Prime Contractor and Subcontractor shall perform their obligations hereunder at all times as independent contractors and personnel shall not be considered or represented as employees or agents of the other party. Each party shall be solely responsible for (1) management and control of its personnel, (2) without limiting Subcontractor’s other obligations hereunder (or the intent of the parties to pass on the burden of the Subject Contract to the Subcontractor), making the actual payment of compensation owed to its personnel, including payment (if applicable) of employment‑related taxes, benefits, and worker’s compensation insurance, (3) the filing of all required employment returns and reports, and (4) the withholding and/or paying of all applicable federal, state, provincial and/or local taxes and other assessments based on wages or employment, including but not limited to income taxes, social security taxes, and unemployment insurance premiums for its personnel; provided, however, that nothing in this clause shall be construed to alter in any respect the obligations or arrangements undertaken by the parties in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.

PAYMENT

Prime Contractor shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof, pay over to Subcontractor all proceeds received by Prime Contractor under each such Subject Contract, fee or other adjustment, net of any out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by

H-4

Prime Contractor in connection with any Subject Contract or this Subcontract Agreement. Subcontractor shall have the right, upon reasonable request, with reasonable advance notice and during reasonable business hours, to review documents and other information evidencing the costs and expenses incurred by Prime Contractor and deducted from such payments.

ARTICLE VII.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT CLAIMS

The Parties agree that Prime Contractor will reasonably cooperate with Subcontractor in preserving any claim as defined under FAR 33.001 the Prime Contractor may have against the United States Government which arises under or is related to the Subject Contracts. However, Prime Contractor shall have no obligation to submit the appeal of any claim to a Board of Contract Appeals or to the Court of Federal Claims under the “Disputes” clause of any Subject Contract, nor shall Prime Contractor have any obligation to pursue any other form of litigation against the United States Government or any other person during the term of this Subcontract Agreement. Subcontractor may freely pursue any and all such litigation upon the execution of the Novation Agreements by the United States Government.

ARTICLE VIII.

NOVATION OF SUBJECT CONTRACTS

Within ten (10) Days following the Pre-Closing Restructuring, Subcontractor shall prepare, and Prime Contractor shall, in accordance with and to the extent required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 42, Subpart 42.12 or applicable Law, and in consultation with Subcontractor and at Subcontractor’s expense, submit in writing to the responsible government contracting officer(s) a request that the government (A) recognize Subcontractor (instead of Prime Contractor) as the prime contractor party to the Subject Contracts and (B) if required, enter into a novation agreement (the “Novation Agreement”) in substantially the form contemplated by such regulations.

Subcontractor shall use reasonable best efforts (and Prime Contractor shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith) in order to (A) promptly obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreement, including responding to requests for information by any applicable Governmental Authority and (B) provide all reasonable information and take all other actions reasonably necessary to obtain, execute and consummate such Novation Agreement (subject to confidential treatment with respect to any information provided to the extent reasonably requested by the party providing such information).

Subcontractor and US Seller shall provide all assurances reasonably requested or required by the United States Government including without limitation any financial guarantees in connection with the novation of the Subject Contracts.

Upon the request of Prime Contractor, Subcontractor shall provide Prime Contractor updates on the status of the Novation Agreement for each of the Subject Contracts including any

H-5

correspondence from the United States Government regarding the timing of the completion of the Novation Agreements as well as the Subcontractor’s estimate of the date of completion of the novations for each Subject Contract.

ARTICLE IX.

A. Severability. If any provision of this Subcontract Agreement shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Subcontract Agreement (or the application of such provisions to Persons or circumstances other than those in respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable) shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Subcontract Agreement, unless specifically conditioned upon such invalid or unenforceable provision, shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

reasonable advance written notice of any meetings with the Employee Representative Bodies that Buyer is required or requested (as described in further detail in the following sentence) to attend.

3. Syndication.

We reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of definitive documentation for the Senior Bridge Facility (the “Credit Documentation”), to syndicate all or a portion of our commitments with respect to the Senior Bridge Facility to a group of banks, financial institutions and other lenders (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with you pursuant to a syndication to be managed exclusively by the Lead Arrangers; provided that we will not syndicate the Senior Bridge Facility to certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and competitors of you and your subsidiaries or the Acquired Business and its subsidiaries that, in each case, have been specified to us by you in writing prior to the date hereof (such persons, collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”). Subject to the foregoing rights, the Lead Arrangers will manage all aspects of the

syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility in consultation with you, including, without limitation, timing, potential syndicate members to be approached, titles and allocations and division of fees.

We intend to commence our syndication efforts with respect to the Senior Bridge Facility promptly upon your execution and delivery to us of this Commitment Letter, and, until the earlier to occur of (i) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (ii) 60 days after the Closing Date, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to you and us. Such assistance shall include (i) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication and marketing efforts benefit from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (ii) direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non‑legal advisors of you (and, subject always to the extent expressly provided in the Acquisition Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non‑legal advisors of the Target), on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders and rating agencies identified by the Senior Lead Arranger, on the other hand, at times and places mutually agreed, (iii) assistance by you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assistance by the Target) in the prompt preparation of a customary Confidential Information Memorandum for the Senior Bridge Facility and other customary marketing materials and information reasonably deemed necessary by the Senior Lead Arranger to complete a successful syndication (collectively, the “Information Materials”) for delivery to potential syndicate members and participants, including, without limitation, estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward‑looking financial information regarding the future performance of the Parent, the Target and Parent’s and its respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “Projections”), (iv) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of a reasonable number of meetings with prospective Lenders at reasonable times and locations to be mutually agreed and (v) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (or maintain, to the extent already in effect as of the date hereof), prior to the launch of the syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility and the marketing of the Senior Notes, public ratings (but no specific ratings) for the Senior Bridge Facility and the Senior Notes from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and a public corporate credit rating (but no specific rating) of the BV Borrower from S&P and a public corporate family rating (but no specific rating) of the BV Borrower from Moody’s. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that provisions thereof would violate any attorney client privilege, law, rule or regulation or any obligation of confidentiality on you, the Target or any of your or its affiliates; provided that you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents to use your and your affiliates’ information or communicate such applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation or risk waiver of such privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter and without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, (i) none of the foregoing shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date (except to the extent also set forth on Exhibit C) and (ii) neither the commencement nor the completion of the syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the only financial statements and other financial information that

shall be required to be provided to the Lead Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility shall be the financial statements and other financial information to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 4 of Exhibit C.

You hereby acknowledge that (i) the Agents will make available Information (as defined below) and Projections, and the documentation relating to the Senior Bridge Facility referred to in the paragraph below, to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by transmitting such Information, Projections and documentation through Intralinks, SyndTrak Online, the internet, email or similar electronic transmission systems and (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non‑public information with respect to the Parent, the Target and their respective subsidiaries or securities) (“Public Lenders”). You agree, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist in the prompt preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and other marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available, (b) not material with respect to the Parent or its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws or (c) information that the Target or its subsidiaries would publicly disclose if they were a public reporting company (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information” and with any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information being referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”).

It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters signed by you will be included in any such Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum does not include any Private Lender Information and such Confidential Information Memorandum will exculpate us with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof and exculpate you and the Acquired Business with respect to any liability related to the misuse of the contents of such Confidential Information Memorandum or any related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. You agree that such Confidential Information Memorandum or related offering and marketing materials to be disseminated by the Lead Arrangers to any prospective Lender in connection with the Senior Bridge Facility will be identified by you as either (A) containing Private Lender Information or (B) containing solely Public Lender Information.

You acknowledge that the following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders, unless you notify the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable period of time prior to the intended distribution that any such document contains Private Lender Information (provided that such materials have been provided to you for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (x) drafts and final versions of the Credit Documentation; (y) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocation, if any, customary marketing term sheets and funding and closing memoranda); and (z) notification of changes in the terms and conditions of the Senior Bridge Facility.

You hereby agree that, prior to the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the earlier of (A) Successful Syndication and (B) the 60th day following the Closing Date, there shall be no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you or the Borrowers, and you will use commercially reasonable efforts, to ensure that there are no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Target or its subsidiaries, being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Senior Bridge Facility, the Senior Notes, any increase in the revolving commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement of up to $70.0 million or incurrence of additional term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement of up to $100.0 million (which amount shall increase by $25.0 million on the three-month anniversary of the date hereof and by $25.0 million for each subsequent three-month period thereafter; provided that such amount shall not exceed $200.0 million) or any indebtedness of the Target and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred or outstanding pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement), without the consent of the Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility or the offering of the Senior Notes.

4. Information.

You represent and warrant (with respect to Information relating to the Acquired Business, to the best of your knowledge) that (a) all written information which has been or is hereafter furnished to the Agents by you or on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Projections, other forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) (such information being referred to herein collectively as the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the time it was (or, in the case of Information furnished after the date hereof, hereafter is) furnished, does not (or will not) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit as of such time to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein taken as a whole not materially misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were (or hereafter are) made, and (b) the Projections and other forward looking information that have been or will be made available to the Agents by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time such Projections or other forward looking information are made available to the Agents, it being recognized by the Agents that such Projections and other forward looking information are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, such Projections and other forward looking information are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections or other forward looking information may differ significantly from the projected results, and that no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized. You agree that if at any time prior to the earlier of (x) 60 days after the Closing Date and (y) the Successful Syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility (or, to the extent a Successful Syndication is attained prior to the Closing Date, the Closing Date), you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect (to the best of your knowledge as to Information and Projections and any forward looking information relating to the Acquired Business) in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly advise the Agents and supplement (or use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement, in the

case of Information relating to the Acquired Business) the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be (to the best of your knowledge as to Information and Projections and any forward looking information relating to the Acquired Business) correct in all material respects under those circumstances. The accuracy of the foregoing representations shall not be a condition to our obligations hereunder or the funding of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date. You understand that, in arranging and syndicating the Senior Bridge Facility, we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or the Projections.

5. Conditions Precedent.

Each Initial Lender’s commitment hereunder, and the agreement of each Agent to perform the services described herein, are subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) since the date of the Acquisition Agreement, no Target Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) the conditions set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Funding Conditions”); it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder (including compliance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation) other than the Funding Conditions (and upon satisfaction or waiver of the Funding Conditions, the initial funding under the Senior Bridge Facility shall occur).

For purposes hereof, “Target Material Adverse Effect” means an event, circumstance, development, change or effect that, individually or in the aggregate with other events, circumstances, developments, changes or effects, has been or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to (i) the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Companies (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) and the Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) or the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of any Seller to timely perform its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, provided that any such change or effect resulting from any of the following, individually or in the aggregate, shall not be considered when determining whether a Target Material Adverse Effect has occurred for purposes of clause (i) above: (A) any change in economic conditions generally or capital and financial markets generally, including changes in interest or exchange rates, (B) any change in the industry in which the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) operates or in which products of the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) are used or distributed, including increases in energy, electricity, raw material or other operating costs, (C) any change in Laws (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) or accounting standards, or the enforcement or interpretation thereof, applicable to the Companies (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) and the Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), (D) social, political or military conditions in jurisdictions in which the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) operates, including hostilities, acts of war, sabotage, terrorism or military actions, or any escalation or worsening of any of the foregoing, (E) any change resulting from the announcement of the execution of the Acquisition Agreement or the pendency or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), including any such change relating to the identity of, or facts and circumstances relating to,

Buyer (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), (F) any action taken by Buyer (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) or its Affiliates (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), (G) any hurricane, flood, tornado, earthquake or other natural disaster, (H) any actions required to be taken or omitted pursuant to the express terms of the Acquisition Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) or taken with Buyer’s (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) consent or not taken because Buyer (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) withheld consent, except that this clause (H) shall not apply to any actions normally taken or omitted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, or (I) the failure in and of itself of the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) to achieve any financial projections or forecasts (but not the underlying cause of such failure); provided that any adverse effects resulting from matters described in any of the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (G) may be taken into account in determining whether there is or has been a Target Material Adverse Effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that they have a disproportionate effect on the Companies (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) and the Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) or the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) relative to other participants in the industries or geographies in which the Companies (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) and the Transferred Subsidiaries (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) or the Business (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) operate.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or the Credit Documentation, or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Acquisition to the contrary, (i) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall be (x) such of the representations and warranties made by the Sellers with respect to the Acquired Business in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such), but only to the extent you have (or an affiliate of yours has) the right to terminate your (or its) obligations (or to refuse to consummate the Acquisition) under the Acquisition Agreement (subject to cure rights thereunder) as a result of a breach of such representations (the “Acquisition Agreement Target Representations”) and (y) the Specified Representations (as defined below) made by the Borrowers and Guarantors in the Credit Documentation and (ii) the terms of the Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 5 and Exhibit C attached hereto are satisfied (it being understood that (I) to the extent any guaranty by the Target or any subsidiary of the Target may not be accomplished prior to the Closing Date, then such guaranty shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date but, instead, may be accomplished within the time periods set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement, (II) to the extent any guaranty by any subsidiary of Parent not organized in the United States may not be accomplished prior to the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so and without undue burden and expense, then such guaranty shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Senior Bridge Facility on the Closing Date but, instead, may be accomplished within the time periods set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement as if such subsidiary were acquired on the Closing Date and (III) nothing in preceding clause (ii) shall be construed to limit the applicability of the individual conditions expressly set forth in this Section 5 or in Exhibit C attached hereto). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations”

means the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and Guarantors (as of the Closing Date) set forth (or referred to) in the Term Sheets relating to legal existence, corporate power and authority relating to the entering into and performance of the Credit Documentation, the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of the Credit Documentation, no conflicts with or violations of the Borrowers’ or such Guarantors’ organizational documents, margin regulations, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, solvency of Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transaction), USA PATRIOT Act and use of proceeds not in violation of OFAC/Sanctions, etc. and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

7. Expenses; Indemnification.

You hereby agree to reimburse the Agents upon the initial funding of the Senior Bridge Facility for all reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket fees and expenses (in the case of legal fees limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of (x) the primary counsel acting for the Lead Arrangers, which shall be Shearman & Sterling LLP and (y) one special and local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction as may be necessary or advisable in the sole judgment of the Lead Arrangers) of the Agents and their affiliates arising in connection with the Senior Bridge Facility and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and enforcement of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation (including in connection with our due diligence and syndication efforts; provided that you shall not be required to reimburse such parties in the event the Closing Date does not occur.

You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each other agent or co‑agent (if any) designated by the Lead Arrangers with respect to the Senior Bridge Facility (each, a “Co‑Agent”), each Initial Lender, each Lender which is a Co‑Agent or an affiliate thereof (each, a “Co‑Agent Lender”) and all of their respective affiliates, successors and permitted assigns and each director, officer, employee, representative, advisors, attorneys, controlling persons, and agent thereof (in each case, excluding any such Agent, Co-Agent or affiliate to the extent acting in the capacity as a Financial Advisor to the Sellers and any director, officer or employee of such Financial Advisor acting in their capacity as such) (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations or inquiries), claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against or involve any Agent, any Co‑Agent, any Initial Lender, any Co‑Agent Lender or any other such Indemnified Person as a result of or arising out of or in any way related to or resulting from the Transaction, this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter and any related transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any use or

intended use of the proceeds of the Senior Bridge Facility and, upon demand, to pay and reimburse each Agent, each Co‑Agent, each Initial Lender, each Co‑Agent Lender and each other Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest in any jurisdiction, one additional local counsel to all affected indemnified persons, taken as a whole, in such relevant jurisdiction or other reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit, proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) or claim (whether or not any Agent, any Co‑Agent, any Initial Lender, any Co‑Agent Lender or any other such Indemnified Person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any such expenses arise or such matter is initiated by a third party or by you or any of your affiliates); provided, however, that you shall not have to indemnify any Indemnified Person against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability to the extent same resulted from (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any Related Indemnified Person (as defined below) of such Indemnified Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non‑appealable judgment), (y) a material breach by the relevant Indemnified Person (or any Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnified Person) (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non‑appealable judgment) of the express contractual obligations of such Indemnified Person under this Commitment Letter pursuant to a claim made by you or (z) any disputes among the Indemnified Persons (other than disputes involving claims against any Lead Arranger or Agent in their capacities as such) and not arising from any act or omission by the Parent or any of its affiliates.

For purposes hereof, a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnified Person means (a) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnified Person, (b) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnified Person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates and (c) the respective agents or representatives of such Indemnified Person, in the case of this clause (c), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such Indemnified Person; provided that each reference to a controlled affiliate in this sentence pertains to a controlled affiliate involved in the negotiation or syndication of this Commitment Letter and the Senior Bridge Facility.

No Agent nor any other Indemnified Person shall be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for (i) any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks, Syndtrak Online or email) or (ii) any indirect, special, exemplary, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) which may be alleged as a result of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Transaction even if advised of the possibility thereof other than as a result of such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non‑appealable decision.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, without limiting the indemnification obligations set forth above, none of us, you or any Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter and any related transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any use or intended use of the proceeds of the Senior Bridge Facility, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (other than arising from any third party claims for such damages). You shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) or claim effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7.

You agree that, without such relevant Indemnified Person’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), neither you nor any of your subsidiaries will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provision of this Commitment Letter (whether or not any Agent or any other Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

In addition, you agree to indemnify the Indemnified Persons against any loss incurred by any Indemnified Person as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Indemnified Person is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Indemnified Person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the BV Borrower and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

Certain of the Agents and/or their respective affiliates have been retained as a sell-side financial advisor to the Sellers (as hereinafter defined) (in such capacity, a “Financial Advisor”) in connection with the Transaction. You agree to any such retention, and further agree not to assert any claim you might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from, on the one hand, the engagement of a Financial Advisor or such Agents and/or their respective affiliates’ arranging or providing or contemplating arranging or providing financing for a competing bidder and, on the other hand, our relationship with you as described and referred to herein.

The indemnification and contribution provisions contained in this Commitment Letter are in addition to any liability which you may otherwise have to an Indemnified Person. Solely for purposes of enforcing the provisions of this Section 7, you hereby consent to personal jurisdiction, service of process and venue in any court in which any claim or proceeding that is subject to this Section 7 is brought against any Agent.

8. Sharing Information; Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Affiliate Activities.

You acknowledge that the Agents and their respective affiliates are full service securities firms and as such may from time to time effect transactions, for their own account or the account of customers, and may hold positions in securities or indebtedness, or options thereon, of BV Borrower and other companies that may be the subject of the Transaction and may act with respect to any such entities in such other capacities to which it is appointed. The Agents and their respective affiliates will have economic interests that are different from or conflict with those of BV Borrower regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, and you acknowledge and agree that none of the Agents has any obligation to disclose such interests to you. In particular, you acknowledge that you have been advised of the role of certain of the Agents and/or their respective affiliates as a Financial Advisor and that, in such capacity, (i) a Financial Advisor may recommend to the Sellers that the Sellers not pursue or accept your offer or proposal for the acquisition of the Acquired Business, (ii) a Financial Advisor may advise the Sellers and the Target in other manners adverse to your interests, including, without limitation, by providing advice on pricing, leverage levels, and timing and conditions of closing with respect to your bid, taking other actions with respect to your bid and taking action under any definitive agreement between you, the Sellers and/or the Target, and (iii) a Financial Advisor may possess information about the Sellers, the Acquired Business, the acquisition of the Acquired Business, and other potential purchasers and their respective strategies and proposals, but such Financial Advisor shall have no obligation to disclose to you the substance of such information or the fact that it is in possession thereof.

You further acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the nature of our services or in any prior relationship will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship between us, on the one hand, and you, your equity holders or your affiliates, on the other hand, and you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims you may have against the Agents for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Agents will have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on your behalf, including your equity holders, employees or creditors. You acknowledge that the Transaction (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and under the Fee Letter) is an arms’ length commercial transaction and that we are acting as principal and in our own best interests. You are relying on your own experts and advisors to determine whether the Transaction is in your best interests and are capable of evaluating and understanding, and you understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, you acknowledge that we may employ the services of our affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and may exchange with such affiliates information concerning you

and other companies that may be the subject of the Transaction and such affiliates will be entitled to the benefits afforded to us hereunder.

Participants will have the same benefits as the selling Bridge Lenders would have (and will be limited to the amount of such benefits) with regard to cost and yield protection, subject to customary limitations and restrictions.
Documentation:	The definitive credit documentation for the Senior Bridge Facility (the “Senior Bridge Documentation”) will be based on senior bridge facilities documentation for similarly‑situated credits, as modified to (i) reflect the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Commitment Letter, (ii) take account of differences related to the operational requirements of the BV Borrower, the Parent, the Acquired Business and their respective subsidiaries in light of their size, industries, businesses, business practices (after giving effect to the Transaction) and then prevailing market conditions at the time of syndication of the Senior Bridge Facility and (iii) operational and administrative changes reasonably required by the Bridge Facility Administrative Agent, the definitive terms of which will be negotiated in good faith (the “Bridge Documentation Principles”).

The initial borrowing under the Senior Bridge Facility shall be subject to the following additional conditions precedent:

1. Subject to the Funds Certain Provisions, the execution and delivery of definitive Credit Documentation by the Borrowers and Guarantors consistent with the terms of the Commitment Letter and the Term Sheets.

2. Substantially concurrently with the initial funding under the Senior Bridge Facility, the Acquisition shall be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement among the Sellers and Sensata Technologies Holding N.V., dated as July 30, 2015 (including, but not limited to, all schedules and exhibits thereto and after giving effect to any alteration, amendment, modification, supplement or waiver permitted below, the “Acquisition Agreement”) and the Acquisition Agreement shall not have been altered, amended or otherwise changed or supplemented or any provision or condition therein waived, nor any consent granted, by you, if such alteration, amendment, change, supplement, waiver or consent would be adverse to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such) in any material respect, without the prior written consent of the Agents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (it being understood and agreed that any alteration, amendment, change, supplement, waiver or consent that (a) increases the purchase price in respect of the Acquisition shall not be deemed to be adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respects, so long as such increase (other than the purchase price adjustment pursuant to the express terms of the Acquisition Agreement) is funded solely by the issuance of common equity or funded by cash on hand and (b) decreases the purchase price (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is inclusive of the amount of the Refinancing) in respect of the Acquisition so long as any reduction reduces the Senior Bridge Facility on a dollar for dollar basis shall be deemed to not be adverse to the interest of the Lenders in a material respect). The Refinancing shall have been consummated, or, substantially concurrently with the initial funding under the Senior Bridge Facility, shall be consummated.

3. The Lenders shall have received (1) customary legal opinions from counsel in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agents, (2) a solvency certificate from a director of the BV Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit Q to the Existing Credit Agreement and (3) customary closing and, to the extent relevant, good standing (of the jurisdiction of organization) certificates and a customary notice of borrowing, in each case subject to the Funds Certain Provisions.

If you shall in good faith reasonably believe that you have delivered the Required Notes Information, you may deliver to the Lead Bridge Arrangers written notice to that effect (stating when you believe you completed any such delivery), in which case you shall be deemed to have delivered such Required Notes Information on the date such notice is received, unless the Lead Bridge Arrangers in good faith reasonably believe that you have not completed delivery of such Required Notes Information and, within three business days after its receipt of such notice from

you, the Lead Arrangers deliver a written notice to you to that effect (stating with specificity what Required Notes Information you have not delivered).

7. The Specified Representations shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) and the Acquisition Agreement Target Representations shall be true and correct (provided that pursuant to the Funds Certain Provisions, this condition shall be satisfied unless you have (or an affiliate of yours has) the right to terminate your (or its) obligations (or to refuse to consummate the Acquisition) under the Acquisition Agreement (subject to cure rights thereunder) as a result of a breach of such representation and warranty).
