the future will be referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a
tangible or intangible form) that is (i) related to Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ current or potential business and (ii) is not generally or publicly known. Confidential Information includes, without specific
limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by Executive during the course of his performance under this Agreement concerning the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, information concerning acquisition
opportunities in or reasonably related to the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business or industry of which Executive becomes aware during the Employment Period, the persons or entities that are current, former or

reason (and as to information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, for such longer period as the same shall remain a trade secret) he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of such Confidential
Information without both Board’s prior written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or
omissions to act or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request in writing, all
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, all Confidential Information) that he may then possess or have
under his control.

 (b) During the Employment Period, Executive shall not use or disclose any confidential
information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and shall not bring onto the premises of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or
any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or Person. Executive shall use in the performance of his duties only
information that is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and that is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) is otherwise legally in the public domain,
(ii) otherwise provided or developed by Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of
confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. If at any time during the Employment Period, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality
or other obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executive’s duties can be modified appropriately. 
 (c) Executive represents and warrants to the Parent and its Subsidiaries that Executive took nothing with him which belonged to any former employer when Executive left his position(s) with such
employer(s) and that Executive has nothing that contains any information which belongs to any former employer. If at any time Executive discovers that this representation is incorrect, Executive shall promptly return any such materials to
Executive’s former employer(s). Parent and its Subsidiaries does not want any such materials, and Executive shall not be permitted to use or refer to any such materials in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. 
 (d) Executive understands that Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary
information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.
During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of paragraph 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel
of Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for Parent or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with his work for Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates,
Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board in writing. 
 6. Intellectual Property,
Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work

of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Executive (whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by the
Company and its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the date of this Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and, at the
Company’s expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other
instruments).

employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries he has and shall become familiar with Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets and valuable
customer, supplier and employee relationships, and with other Confidential Information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and that his services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Parent and its

corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. For purpose of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any business engaged (whether directly or
indirectly) in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of electromechanical or electronic sensors or controls.

relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee. licensor or business relation and Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding Parent or its
Subsidiaries); provided that, in each case, this paragraph 7(b) shall only apply if Executive shall have done business with, or had supervisory or other responsibility for, the employee, customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, or business relation
to which the applicable clause of this paragraph 7(b) applies.

 (c) If, at the time of enforcement of this paragraph 7, a court shall hold that the
duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope
or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this paragraph 7 are reasonable and that
he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with his legal counsel. 
 (d) Executive acknowledges that any breach or
threatened breach of the provisions of this paragraph 7 would cause Parent and its Subsidiaries irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance
and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). Further, in the event of an alleged breach or
violation by Executive of this paragraph 7, the Noncompete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

 Form of Release Agreement 

 SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
                     ,
         
 Dear employee: 
 This letter will confirm the Agreement between you and Sensata Technologies, Inc. as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Separation from the Company 

 By signing this agreement you acknowledge that your separation from Sensata Technologies, Inc. will be effective on
                    ,          (the “Separation Date”). As of the Separation
Date, you will no longer be required to fulfill any of the duties and responsibilities associated with your position. 
  

	 	2.	Severance Payment 

 In
exchange for your execution of this Agreement, including the Release in paragraph 3, the Company agrees to pay you: [SPECIFY,], in twelve monthly installments of             ,
less deductions required by law (“Severance Payments”). Such Severance Payments will not be made until this agreement becomes effective and enforceable. Such Severance Payments shall not be considered compensation for purposes of
any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or any of its affiliates. You understand that the Severance Payments made to you represent consideration for signing this Release and are
not salary, wages or benefits to which you were already entitled. You also acknowledge and represent that you have already received everything to which you were entitled by virtue of your employment relationship with the Company. 
  

	 	3.	Release by You 

  

	 	(a)	 You (for yourself, your heirs, assigns or executors) release and forever discharge the Company, any of its affiliates, and its and their directors,
officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, suits, demands, causes of action, contracts, covenants, obligations, debts, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law or equity, by statute or
otherwise whether now known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, which have existed or may have existed, or which do exist, through the date this letter agreement becomes effective and
enforceable, (“Claims”) of any kind, which relate in any way to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, except those arising out of the performance of this letter agreement, your rights under the
employee benefit plans of the Company and your rights to accrued, unused vacation and sick leave. Such

	 	 
released claims include, without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing language, any and all claims of employment discrimination under any local, state, or federal law or ordinance,
including, without limitation, Title VII or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended,

  

	 	(b)	In signing this Release you acknowledge that you intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. You
expressly consent that this Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly
limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. You acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and
material term of this Release and without such waiver the Company would not have made the Severance Payments described in paragraph 2. You further agree that in the event you bring your own Claim in which you seek damages against the Company, or in
the event you seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on your behalf, this release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims.
