ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On February 4, 2010, Sensata Technologies, Inc. (“STI”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies B.V., amended its Transition Production Agreement (the “TPA”) with EMS Engineered Materials Solutions, LLC (“EMS”), a Delaware limited liability company, that was originally entered into May 11, 2009 (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the TPA is extended until May 31, 2010, during which time EMS will continue to manufacture and supply electrical contacts systems (the “Products”) to STI. Among other things, the TPA requires STI and EMS to pay monthly to each other either a Loss Payment or a Profit Payment, respectively and as the case may be, in the amount of any profit or loss shown on the applicable profit and loss statement. In consideration for EMS to enter into the Amendment, STI agrees to pay an administrative fee to EMS in the amount of $200,000, with such amount to be reflected as a charge of $50,000 in each of the monthly profit and loss statements over the course of four months. The Amendment also provided for the sharing of certain costs and expenses concerning the provision of electricity, the transfer of certain tooling and equipment between the parties, and other administrative matters that STI does not consider to be material.

The foregoing descriptions of the TPA and the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to those agreements. A copy of the TPA was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
