THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 3, 2009, by and among TAT Technologies Ltd., an Israeli company (“Parent”), LIMC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Limco Piedmont Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Article IX.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of the Company and Parent deems it advisable and in the best interests of each such company and its shareholders that the Company and Parent engage in a business combination;

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, the Company and Merger Sub have approved this Agreement, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Board of Directors of each of the Company and Merger Sub have determined to recommend to their respective stockholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, the “DGCL”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations and warranties and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving company after the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place on the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, unless this Agreement has been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the date and time of the Closing being referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Proskauer Rose LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL (the date and time of such filing, or if a later date and time are specified in such filing, such specified later date and time, being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be Limco-Piedmont, Inc., or such other name as Parent may specify, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be Limco-Piedmont, Inc., or such other name as Parent may specify, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion Generally. Each share of Company Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) or Section 2.1(e)) shall be converted into the right to receive .5 (five tenths) of an issued and outstanding Parent Ordinary Share. The Parent Ordinary Shares received by the holders of Company Common Stock in exchange for such Company Common Stock at the Effective Time as provided for in this Section 2.1(a) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger Consideration”. All such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock.

- 2 -

(b) Parent-Owned Shares. All shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue as one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Surviving Company, which shall constitute the only outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Company.

(d) Change in Shares. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination, contribution or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(e) Cancellation of Treasury Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock held in the Company treasury and each share of Company Common Stock, if any, owned by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company or another bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange, in accordance with this Article II, certificates representing the Parent Ordinary Shares issueable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) together with cash in lieu of fractional shares (the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly (and in any event no more than three Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock may be paid to a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), in each case, without any interest thereon.

- 3 -

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares, with a record date after the Effective Time, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate, unless and until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of abandoned property, escheat or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to such holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Ordinary Shares issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Ordinary Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date at or after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Ordinary Shares.

(d) Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration issued and paid upon conversion of a share of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such share of Company Common Stock.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Ordinary Shares will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Ordinary Shares upon surrender for exchange of Company Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Ordinary Shares to be received by such holder) shall receive an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Parent Measurement Price. Such payment shall occur as soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to each holder of Company Common Stock with respect to any fractional shares and following compliance by such holder with the exchange procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b) and in the letter of transmittal. No dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Parent.

- 4 -

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Company or the Company shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other applicable Law.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact in form satisfactory to the Exchange Agent by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Ordinary Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e), without any interest thereon.

(h) Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent.

2.3 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be converted into the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Ordinary Shares to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), in each case, without any interest thereon.

2.4 Company Options. At the Effective Time, each then unexercised Company Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

3.11 Intellectual Property.

(a) To the Company’s knowledge, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed or otherwise possesses sufficient legally enforceable rights to use and enforce all Company Intellectual Property Rights, except for any such failures to own, be licensed, possess or enforce that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) To the Company’s knowledge, neither the use of any Company Intellectual Property Rights by the Company or its Subsidiaries nor the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries conflicts with, infringes upon, violates or interferes with, or constitutes an appropriation of any valid patent, trademark, trade name, service xxxx or copyright or other intellectual property right of any other Person, except where the failure to be valid or enforceable would not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

- 9 -

(c) To the Company’s knowledge, no Person materially infringes upon, violates or interferes with, or otherwise misappropriates any material Company Intellectual Property Right.

3.12 Litigation.
