The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The payment of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture), if any, and interest on the Notes and the Exchange Notes (as defined below) will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by each guarantor listed in Schedule II hereto (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

The Securities will be offered without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”).

The Placement Agents and their direct and indirect transferees will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement with respect to the Notes, dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Placement Agents (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) the Notes for debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) and guarantees of the Guarantors with terms substantially similar to the Guarantees (the “Exchange Note Guarantees” and, together with the Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Securities”).

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared a final offering memorandum (the “Final Memorandum”) including a description of the terms of the Securities, the terms of the offering and a description of the Company.

Each Placement Agent, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company and the Guarantors that (i) it will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and (ii) it will solicit offers for Securities only from, and will

8 Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Placement Agent, each person, if any, who controls any Placement Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Placement Agent within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in

the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Placement Agent furnished to the Company and the Guarantors in writing by such Placement Agent through you expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Placement Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Guarantor, their directors, their officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company and each Guarantor, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and each Guarantor to such Placement Agent, but only with reference to information relating to such Placement Agent furnished to the Company and each Guarantor in writing by such Placement Agent through you expressly for use in the Final Memorandum or any amendments or supplements thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees reasonably incurred and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any

settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Placement Agents on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Placement Agents on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors and the total discounts and commissions received by the Placement Agents, in each case as set forth in the Final Memorandum, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Placement Agents on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and/or the

Guarantors or by the Placement Agents and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Placement Agents’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have acquired hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company, each Guarantor and the Placement Agents agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Placement Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Placement Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages that such Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Placement Agent, any person controlling any Placement Agent or any affiliate of any Placement Agent or by or on behalf of the Company and/or the Guarantors, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and/or the Guarantors and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities. The provisions contained in this Section 8(f) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

9. Termination. The Placement Agents may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile

Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, France or the United Kingdom shall have occurred, (iii) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. Federal, New York State, Luxembourg, Dutch, United Kingdom or French authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (iv), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Final Memorandum.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Placement Agents. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Placement Agents shall fail or refuse to acquire Securities that it or they have agreed to acquire hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Placement Agent or Placement Agents agreed but failed or refused to acquire is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be acquired on such date, the other Placement Agents shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Placement Agents, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to acquire the Securities which such defaulting Placement Agent or Placement Agents agreed but failed or refused to acquire on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Placement Agent has agreed to acquire pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Placement Agent. If, on the Closing Date any Placement Agent or Placement Agents shall fail or refuse to acquire Securities which it or they have agreed to acquire hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be acquired on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the acquisition of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Placement Agent or of the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Placement Agent from liability in respect of any default of such Placement Agent under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Placement Agents, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or any Guarantor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or any Guarantor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, reimburse the Placement Agents or such Placement Agents as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Placement Agents in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Placement Agents with respect to the preparation of the Final Memorandum, the conduct of the offering, and the acquisition and sale of the Securities.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Placement Agents have acted at arms’ length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, the Guarantors or any other person, (ii) the Placement Agents owe the Company and the Guarantors only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (iii) the Placement Agents may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and each Guarantor waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, any claims it may have against the Placement Agents arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

Each of the Placement Agents acknowledge and agree that: (i) the payment of the fee and expenses by the Company as contemplated by Section 2 and Section 6(g) of this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of any fee or expenses that would otherwise be payable to such Placement Agents pursuant to Section 2 of that Engagement Letter, dated as of July 11, 2007, by and among Sensata Technologies Holding B.V., Sensata, Sensata Technologies Finance Company LLC (collectively, the “Sensata Parties”) and the Placement Agents, as amended through the date hereof (the “Engagement Letter”); (ii) the engagement of the Placement Agents pursuant to Section 1 of such Engagement Letter shall terminate upon the issuance of the Securities in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Engagement Letter and none of the Sensata Parties shall have any further obligation to the Placement Agents under Section 1 of the Engagement Letter; and (iii) the indemnification and contribution provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement shall suspersede the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in Section 4 of the Engagement Letter to the extent set forth in Section 8 herein.

12. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Placement Agents may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Company or any Guarantor in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court.

Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Company or any such Guarantor, as the case may be, in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent, and each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.

17. Agreement to Cooperate; Ongoing Compliance of Offering Memorandum; Securities Notices. (a) The Company and the Guarantors agree to:

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, unless the Company delivers a blackout notice (as defined in paragraph (e) below), in which case the following shall not be applicable unless the Company delivers a blackout termination notice, update the Final Memorandum and complete a revision thereof (as so finalized, the “Offering Memorandum”) in a form customary for a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering, including, without limitation, all revisions necessary to comply with applicable Stock Exchange listing requirements, and all audited financial statements, all unaudited financial statements (which shall have been reviewed by the independent registered public accountants of the Company as provided in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100) and all appropriate pro forma financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, and all other data, in each case, that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would require in a registered offering of the Securities (in each case, consistent with the Final Memorandum and subject to other exceptions customary for a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering if applicable) and that would be necessary for the Placement Agents, as the case may be, to receive customary “comfort” (including, without limitation, “negative assurance” comfort) from the Company’s independent registered public accountants (the date the Offering Memorandum is first delivered to the Placement Agents is referred to as the “Revision Date”);

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be provided legal opinions dated as of the Revision Date with respect to the resale of the Securities and negative assurance letters with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and the Offering Memorandum, in each case in customary form subject to customary limitations, assumptions and exclusions and covering such matters, of the type customarily covered by such an opinion or negative assurance letter, as the case may be, as the Placement Agents may reasonably request and, except as agreed by the Placement Agents, delivered by those firms and/or persons identified in Section 5(ii)(d) hereof and addressed to the Placement Agents and consistent with the forms attached to the Agreement;

(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered a “comfort” letter dated as of the Revision Date, with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and the Offering Memorandum from Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accountants for the Company, and addressed to the Placement Agents, such letters to be in the forms previously negotiated with the independent accountants (as appropriately updated); and

(iv) participate in one or more due diligence calls and provide such due diligence information as may be reasonably requested by the Representative, with the Placement Agents and their counsel to update due diligence to the Revision Date to the extent that such requests are reasonably consistent with the level of due diligence undertaken by the Placement Agents in connection with the preparation of the Final Memorandum.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Guarantors shall have fulfilled their obligations under clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 17(a) after using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such items in accordance with such clauses and to the extent such items contemplated by clause (ii) and (iii) are not obtained; provided that the foregoing shall not, and should not otherwise be construed to, limit, amend or otherwise modify any of the rights or remedies of any Placement Agent hereunder (including with respect to the indemnity provisions).

(b) No more than once per week, at the reasonable request of the Placement Agents, the chief financial officer and/or the general counsel of the Company will participate in a due diligence call with the Placement Agents and their counsel to update due diligence to such date, provided, however, that no such due diligence calls shall be required during the period after the receipt by the Placement Agents of a blackout notice (as defined below) and before receipt of a blackout termination notice (as defined below).

(c) The Placement Agents agree to immediately suspend the use of the Final Memorandum after receipt of written notice from the Company that it intends to issue on that date its earning press release for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and such suspension shall continue until such time as the Final Memorandum is updated in accordance with Section 17(a).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall have no further obligations to amend, supplement or update the Final Memorandum other than pursuant to this Section 17 and the Company and the Guarantors shall have no obligation to amend, supplement or update the Offering Memorandum.

(e) If provided in good faith (which shall not include avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), the Company may provide written notice in its sole discretion at any time from time to time (each such notice, a “blackout notice”) to the Placement Agents that the Placement Agents should suspend use of the Final Memorandum or Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, until

receipt of written notice from the Company terminating such “blackout notice” (each such notice, a “blackout termination notice”), and each of the Placement Agents agree to immediately suspend the use of the Final Memorandum or Offering Memorandum, as applicable, upon receipt of a blackout notice until such time the Placement Agent receives a blackout termination notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company and the Guarantors shall have provided a blackout notice in good faith (which shall not include avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder) in accordance with the first sentence of Section 17(e), the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to provide a minimum number of days in which the Placement Agents may use either the Final Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, before such blackout notice is delivered by the Company pursuant to the first sentence of Section 17(e).

(f) None of the Company or any Guarantor shall have any liability to any Placement Agent or any person otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) under this Agreement (including Section 8) for any loss, claim, damage or liability incurred by any Placement Agent arising from any Placement Agent trading or agreeing to sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities (but not the settlement of any such trade or agreement or other disposition) using a Final Memorandum after receipt of the notice contemplated by Section 17(c) or the Final Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, as applicable, after receipt of a blackout notice and before receipt of a blackout termination notice contemplated by Section 17(e). The provisions contained in this Section 17(f) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.
