EX-10.8: EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.8

[Senior Vice President
Single Bonus]

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated August 1, 2005 between PALL CORPORATION, a New York corporation (the “Company”), and Mary Ann Bartlett (“Executive”).

     In consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     §1. Employment and Term

     The Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to serve, as an executive employee of the Company with the duties set forth in §2, for a term (hereinafter called the “Term of Employment”) beginning August 1, 2005 (the “Term Commencement Date”) and ending, unless sooner terminated under §4, on the effective date specified in a notice of termination given by either party to the other except that such effective date shall not be earlier than the second anniversary of the date on which such notice is given.

     §2. Duties.

     Executive agrees that during the Term of Employment she will hold such offices or positions with the Company, and perform such duties and assignments relating to the business of the Company, as the chief executive officer of the Company shall direct except that Executive shall not be required to hold any office or position or to perform any duties or assignment inconsistent with her experience and qualifications or not customarily performed by a corporate officer.

     If the chief executive officer of the Company so directs, Executive shall serve as an officer of one or more subsidiaries of the Company (provided that the duties of such office are not inconsistent with Executive’s experience and qualifications and are duties customarily performed by a corporate officer) and part or all of the compensation to which Executive is entitled hereunder may be paid by such subsidiary or subsidiaries. However, such employment and/or payment of Executive by a subsidiary or subsidiaries shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent of payments actually made to Executive by a subsidiary.

     During the Term of Employment Executive shall, except during customary vacation periods and periods of illness, devote substantially all of her business time and attention to the performance of her duties hereunder and to the business and affairs of the Company and its

subsidiaries and to promoting the best interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and she shall not, either during or outside of such normal business hours, engage in any activity inimical to such best interests.

     §3. Compensation During Term of Employment.

     (a) Base Salary. With respect to the period beginning on the Term Commencement Date and ending on the 31^st day of July next following the Term Commencement Date, the Company shall pay Executive a Base Salary (in addition to the compensation provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) at the rate of $215,000 per annum (hereinafter called the “Original Base Salary”). With respect to each Contract Year beginning with the Contract Year which starts on the first day of August next following the Term Commencement Date, the Company shall pay Executive a Base Salary at such rate as the Board of Directors may determine but not less than the Original Base Salary adjusted as follows: The term “Contract Year” as used herein means the period from August 1 of each year through July 31 of the following year. The term “Consumer Price Index” as herein used means the “Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers” compiled and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for “New York — Northern N.J. - Long Island, NY-NJ-CT-PA”, For each Contract Year during the Term of Employment beginning with the Contract Year which starts on the first day of August next following the Term Commencement Date, the minimum compensation payable to Executive under this §3(a) (hereinafter called the “Minimum Base Salary”) shall be determined by increasing (or decreasing) the Original Base Salary by the percentage increase (or decrease) of the Consumer Price Index for the month of June immediately preceding the start of the Contract Year in question over (or below) the Consumer Price Index for the month of June next preceding the Term Commencement Date. [To illustrate the operation of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph: In an Employment Agreement as to which the Term Commencement Date was August 1, 2003, the executive’s base salary for the Contract Year August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005 would be not less than the Original Base Salary under that Employment Agreement adjusted by the percentage increase (or decrease) of the Consumer Price Index for June 2004 over (or below) said Index for June 2003.] Further adjustment in the Minimum Base Salary shall be made for each ensuing Contract Year, in each case (i) using the Consumer Price Index for the month of June next preceding the Term Commencement Date as the base except as provided in the immediately following paragraph

hereof and (ii) applying the percentage increase (or decrease) in the Consumer Price Index since said base month to the Original Base Salary to determine the Minimum Base Salary. The Base Salary shall be paid in such periodic installments as the Company may determine but not less often than monthly.

     If with respect to any Contract Year (including the Contract Year beginning on the first day of August next following the Term Commencement Date) the Board of Directors fixes the Base Salary at an amount higher than the Minimum Base Salary, then (unless the resolution fixing such higher Base Salary provides otherwise), for the purpose of determining the Minimum Base Salary for subsequent Contract Years: (1) the amount of the higher Base Salary so fixed shall be deemed substituted for the Original Base Salary wherever the Original Base Salary is referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph hereof, and (ii) the base month for determining the Consumer Price Index adjustment shall be June of the calendar year in which the Contract Year to which such higher Base Salary is applicable begins. [To illustrate the operation of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph: If the Board of Directors were to fix a Base Salary for a Contract Year beginning, say, August 1, 2005 which is higher than the Minimum Base Salary for that Contract Year, then June 2005 would become the base month for the purposes of making the Consumer Price Index adjustment to determine the Minimum Base Salary for subsequent Contract Years unless and until the Board of Directors were to fix a Base Salary higher than the Minimum Base Salary for a subsequent Contract Year.]

     (b) Bonus Compensation. As used herein, the term “Bonus Plan” means the Pall Corporation Executive Incentive Bonus Plan adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on October 16, 2003, approved by shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on November 19, 2003 and amended by the Compensation Committee on July 19, 2004, a copy of which is annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Words and terms used herein with initial capital letters and not defined herein are used herein as defined in the Bonus Plan. With respect to each Fiscal Year of the Company falling in whole or in part within the Term of Employment beginning with the Fiscal Year ending on the Saturday nearest to the 31^st day of the month of July next following the Term Commencement Date, Executive shall be entitled to receive a Bonus pursuant to this Agreement in an amount determined in accordance with and subject to all of the terms of the Bonus Plan.

     For purposes of determining the amount of the Bonus payable to Executive for any Fiscal Year as provided in this §3(b) (the “Plan Bonus”), Executive’s Target Bonus Percentage shall be 105% of her Base Salary for such Fiscal Year.

     (c) Fringe Benefits and Perquisites. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall enjoy the customary perquisites of office, including, but not limited to, office space and furnishings, secretarial services, expense reimbursements and any similar emoluments customarily afforded to senior executive officers of the Company at the same level as Executive. Executive shall also be entitled to receive or participate in all “fringe benefits” and employee benefit plans provided or made available by the Company to its executives or management personnel generally (such as, but not limited to, group hospitalization, medical, life and disability insurance, and pension, retirement, profit-sharing and stock option or purchase plans), at such time and on such terms and conditions as each such plan provides.

     (d) Vacations. Executive shall be entitled each year to a vacation or vacations in accordance with the policies of the Company as determined by the Board or by an authorized senior officer of the Company from time to time. The Company shall not pay Executive any additional compensation for any vacation time not used by Executive.

	§4. Termination by Reason of Disability, Death, Retirement or Change in Control.

     (a) Disability or Death. If, during the Term of Employment, Executive, by reason of physical or mental disability, is incapable of performing her principal duties hereunder for an aggregate of 130 working days out of any period of twelve consecutive months, the Company at its option may terminate the Term of Employment effective immediately by notice to Executive given within 90 days after the end of such twelve-month period. If Executive shall die during the Term of Employment or if the Company terminates the Term of Employment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by reason of Executive’s disability, the Company shall pay to Executive, or to Executive’s legal representatives, or in accordance with a direction given by Executive to the Company in writing, the following: (i) Executive’s Base Salary to the end of the month in which such death or termination for disability occurs and any Plan Bonus or pro rata portion thereof that Executive is entitled to receive in accordance with §3(b) hereof and (ii) for each month in the period from the end of the month in which such death or termination for disability occurs until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the date of death or termination and (y) the date on which the Term of Employment would have ended but for such death or

termination for disability, monthly payments of an amount equal to 1/12^th of 102.5% of the annual rate of Base Salary in effect for Executive immediately prior to the date on which Executive’s death or termination for disability occurs (such 102.5% being comprised of one-half of such Base Salary and one-half of Executive’s Target Bonus Percentage set forth in §3 (b) hereof).

     (b) Retirement. (i) The Term of Employment shall end automatically, without action by either party, on Executive’s 65th birthday unless, prior to such birthday, Executive and the Company have agreed in writing that the Term of Employment shall continue past such 65th birthday. In the latter event, unless the parties have agreed otherwise, the Term of Employment shall be automatically renewed and extended each year, as of Executive’s birthday, for an additional one-year term, unless either party has given a Non-Renewal Notice. A Non-Renewal Notice shall be effective as of Executive’s ensuing birthday only if given not less than 60 days before such birthday, and shall state that the party giving such notice elects that this Agreement shall not automatically renew itself further, with the result that the Term of Employment shall end on Executive’s ensuing birthday.

          (ii) If the Term of Employment ends pursuant to this §4(b) by reason of a notice given by either party as herein permitted or automatically at age 65 or any subsequent birthday, the Company shall pay to Executive, or to another payee specified by Executive to the Company in writing, (i) Executive’s Base Salary prorated to the date on which the Term of Employment ends and (ii) any Plan Bonus or pro rata portion thereof that Executive is entitled to receive in accordance with §3(b) hereof.

          (iii) Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, if any provision of this §4(b) violates federal or applicable state law relating to discrimination on account of age, such provision shall be deemed modified or suspended to the extent necessary to eliminate such violation of law. If at a later date, by reason of changed circumstances or otherwise, the enforcement of such provision as set forth herein would no longer constitute a violation of law, then it shall be enforced in accordance with its terms as set forth herein.

     (c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Bonus Plan), Executive shall have the right to terminate the Term of Employment, by notice to the Company given at any time after such Change in Control, effective on the date specified in such notice, which date shall not be more than (but can be less than) one year after the giving of such notice.

     §5. Covenant Not to Compete.

     For a period of eighteen months after the end of the Term of Employment if the Term of Employment is terminated by notice to the Company given by Executive under §1 or §4 hereof, or for a period of twelve months after the end of the Term of Employment if the Term of Employment is terminated by notice to Executive given by the Company under § 1 or §4 hereof or terminates under §4 by reason of Executive’s attaining the age of 65, Executive shall not render services to any corporation, individual or other entity engaged in any activity, or herself engage directly or indirectly in any activity, which is competitive to any material extent with the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, provided, however, that if the Company terminates under §1 following a Change in Control (as defined in the Bonus Plan), the foregoing covenant not to compete shall not apply.

     §6. Company’s Right to Injunctive Relief.

     Executive acknowledges that her services to the Company are of a unique character, which gives them a peculiar value to the Company, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law, and that therefore, in addition to any other remedy which the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief for a breach of this Agreement by Executive.

     §7. Inventions and Patents.

     All inventions, ideas, concepts, processes, discoveries, improvements and trademarks (hereinafter collectively referred to as intangible rights), whether patentable or registrable or not, which are conceived, made, invented or suggested either by Executive alone or by Executive in collaboration with others during the Term of Employment, and whether or not during regular working hours, shall be disclosed to the Company and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. If the Company deems that any of such intangible rights are patentable or otherwise registrable under any federal, state or foreign law, Executive, at the expense of the Company, shall execute all documents and do all things necessary or proper to obtain patents and/or registrations and to vest the Company with full title thereto.

     §8. Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

     Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, except as required in the course of her employment by the Company, disclose or use at any time, whether during or subsequent to the Term of Employment, any information of a proprietary nature owned by the Company, including, but not limited to, records, data, formulae, documents, specifications, inventions, processes, methods and intangible rights which are acquired by her in the performance of her duties for the Company and which are of a confidential information or trade secret nature. All records, files, drawings, documents, equipment and the like, relating to the Company’s business, which Executive shall prepare, use, construct or observe, shall be and remain the Company’s sole property. Upon the termination of her employment or at any time prior thereto upon request by the Company, Executive shall return to the possession of the Company any materials or copies thereof involving any confidential information or trade secrets and shall not take any material or copies thereof from the possession of the Company.

     §9. Mergers and Consolidations; Assignability.

     In the event that the Company, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation referred to in this §9 or which shall be a purchaser or transferee so referred to, shall at any time be merged or consolidated into or with any other entity or entities, or in the event that substantially all of the assets of the Company or any such entity shall be sold or otherwise transferred to another entity, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the continuing entity in or the entity resulting from such merger or consolidation or the entity to which such assets shall be sold or transferred. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence of this §9, this Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company or by any entity referred to in such immediately preceding sentence.
