AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 3, 2014, is by and among TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), LIGHTNING MERGER SUB, INC., a Connecticut corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and BOLT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent, the Board of Directors of Merger Sub, and the Board of Directors of the Company have each adopted this Agreement and have approved and determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and shareholders to consummate the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, pursuant to which the shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Shares” or the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), other than shares described in Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.3(b)), will be converted into the right to receive $22.00 per Share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”);

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, and covenants, and to enter into certain agreements, in connection with the Merger; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement, dated the date hereof, with certain officers of the Company named therein (the “Officers”), the form of which is attached as Exhibit A-1 hereto, and with certain directors of the Company named therein (the “Directors”, and together with the Officers, the “Shareholders”), the form of which is attached as Exhibit A-2 hereto (collectively, the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to which each Shareholder has, among other things, agreed to vote all Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder in favor of the Merger and this Agreement and against any Takeover Proposal (as defined in Section 5.2(f)), in each case subject to and on the conditions set forth therein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Connecticut Business Corporations Act, as amended (the “CBCA”), at the Effective Time, the Company and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger pursuant to which:

(a) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease;

(b) the Company shall be the successor or surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) under the name “Teledyne Bolt, Inc.” and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut; and

(c) the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

The certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated at the Effective Time to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B hereto and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law. The by-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law, by the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and by the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 33-820 of the CBCA.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Connecticut local time, on a date to be specified by the parties hereto, which shall be as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the fourth Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI hereof (the “Closing Date”), at or directed from the offices of McGuireWoods LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 7^th Floor, New York, New York 10105-0106, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; provided that, the parties may participate in the Closing remotely by electronic delivery of documents and/or funds. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banking institutions are required or authorized by law to be closed in the State of California or the State of Connecticut.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company shall cause an appropriate certificate of merger meeting the requirements of Section 33-819 of the CBCA (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.3) (or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree) with the Connecticut Secretary of State (the “Secretary of State”) as provided in the CBCA. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State pursuant to Section 33-819 of the CBCA or such later time as shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto and set forth in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the CBCA (such time of effectiveness, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The parties hereto shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub and those individuals designated by Parent on or prior to the Closing Date shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the initial directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed or qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws.

Section 1.5 Shareholders’ Meeting; Proxy Statement.

(a) Subject to the Company’s rights under Section 7.1(c)(ii), the Company, acting through its Board of Directors (the “Board”), shall, in accordance with applicable law, the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the Company By-laws and the rules and regulations of NASDAQ:

(i) duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold a special meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this Agreement (the “Special Meeting”) as soon as practicable following the date hereof with the record date and the meeting date of the Special Meeting to be selected after reasonable consultation with Parent; provided, however, that the Company may adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting (A) after consultation with Parent, to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement (as hereinafter defined) is provided to the Company’s shareholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Special Meeting, (B) as otherwise required by applicable law, or (C) if as of the time for which the Special Meeting is scheduled as set forth in the Proxy Statement, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Special Meeting;

(ii) (A) obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the federal securities laws (and the rules and regulations thereunder) in a proxy statement in preliminary and definitive form relating to the Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) and prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof, a preliminary Proxy Statement relating to the Merger and this Agreement, (B) respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to such preliminary Proxy Statement and, as soon as practicable thereafter, cause a definitive Proxy Statement to be disseminated to its shareholders, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws;

(iii) include in the Proxy Statement (A) the unanimous recommendation of the Board that shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval of the Merger and the approval of this Agreement, unless such recommendation has been withdrawn, or unless such recommendation has been modified or amended, in each case in accordance with Section 5.2, and (B) the opinion of Johnson Rice & Company L.L.C. (the “Financial Advisor”) described in Section 3.23 (if the Financial Advisor authorizes such inclusion, which authorization the Company will request); and

(iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary approvals of the Merger and this Agreement by its shareholders as soon as practicable (including by retaining an outside proxy solicitation firm at the Company’s own cost and expense);

(b) Parent shall provide the Company with the information concerning Parent and Merger Sub reasonably required to be included in the Proxy Statement. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary and the definitive Proxy Statement (or any amendments or supplements thereto) prior to the filing of any such document with the SEC. The Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any and all comments made by Parent and its counsel and will incorporate reasonable comments of Parent and/or its counsel prior to filing. In addition, the Company will provide Parent and its counsel, in writing, any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications, and the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such comments. The Company will respond promptly to any such comments from the SEC or its staff, will give reasonable and good faith consideration to any and all comments made by Parent and will incorporate reasonable comments of Parent and/or its counsel prior to any such response. Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares (if any) then owned by it, Merger Sub, or any of its other Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(c)) or Affiliates (as defined in Section 8.10) in favor of the approval of the Merger and the approval of this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees to promptly (i) correct any information provided by it specifically for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (ii) supplement the information provided by it specifically for use in the Proxy Statement to include any information that shall become necessary in order to make the statements in the Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement as so corrected or supplemented promptly to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its shareholders (and will use its reasonable efforts to incorporate any reasonable comments of Parent and/or its counsel prior to such filing and dissemination), in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of the Company Common Stock or of the shares of common stock, no par value, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”):

(a) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, all shares of Company Common Stock owned by any Subsidiary of the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Shares. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than Shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares (if any), shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash, without interest, payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.2. All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest.

(d) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change, such that the holders of Company Common Stock and other Company securities are provided the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent; Payment Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company (the “Paying Agent”), reasonably acceptable to the Company, to make the payments of the Merger Consideration to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c). On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit the aggregate amount of such Merger Consideration with the Paying Agent in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock for exchange in accordance with Section 2.1 for timely payment hereunder (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent in (i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest, (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, or (iv) money market funds investing solely in a combination of the foregoing, or a combination thereof, as directed by and for the benefit of Parent; provided, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable hereunder. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments will be payable to Parent or its designee, as Parent directs. Any portion of the Payment Fund made available to the Paying Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(b) Share Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration:

(i) a letter of transmittal (which 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 Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify); and

(ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed by the holder of such Certificate in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration (subject to Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.2(f)) multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Certificates. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to an individual, corporation, limited liability company, or other entity (a “Person”) other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate held by a holder whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Section 2.2. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, may direct as indemnity against any action that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificates as contemplated by this ARTICLE II.

(c) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall not be required to deliver a Certificate to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this ARTICLE II.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. 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 on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for Merger Consideration in the proper amount of cash as provided in this ARTICLE II.

(e) Return of Funds; No Liability. At any time following 270 calendar days after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which had been deposited with the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders of Certificates shall be entitled to look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Certificates such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law.

(f) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Shares pursuant to the Merger, or to a holder of a Company Stock Right or Company Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2.4, such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (as defined in Section 3.16) or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares or the Company Stock Rights or the Company Restricted Shares, as applicable, in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.3 Appraisal Rights.

(a) In accordance with Sections 33-856 to 33-872 of the CBCA (the “CBCA Appraisal Rights Provisions”), appraisal rights may be available to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any shares of Company Common Stock held of record by Persons who, prior to the Special Meeting, have objected to the Merger and complied with all applicable provisions of the CBCA Appraisal

Rights Provisions necessary to perfect and maintain their appraisal rights thereunder (any such shares of Company Common Stock, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall entitle the holder of such Dissenting Shares to such rights as may be available under the CBCA Appraisal Rights Provisions; provided, however, that if after the Effective Time (i) such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s rights under the CBCA Appraisal Rights Provisions or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the CBCA, the shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of its receipt of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock if the Merger is effectuated, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, offer to settle or settle, any such demands. After the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, any amounts that may become payable in respect of Dissenting Shares under the CBCA Appraisal Rights Provisions.

Section 2.4 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Vesting, Cash-Out and Cancellation of Company Stock Rights. As of the Effective Time, each unexercised and unexpired option or other similar equity award with option-like features that is settled in, or relates to Company Common Stock (other than Company Restricted Shares as defined in Section 2.4(b)) held under any stock or stock-based plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including without limitation the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, each as amended, and the award agreements thereunder (collectively, the “Company Stock-Based Plans”), or under any separate agreement (each, a “Company Stock Right”), shall fully and immediately vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock-Based Plan, by virtue of the Merger and without the need of any action on the part of any holder thereof. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Right, whether or not vested, shall be canceled and automatically converted into and shall entitle the holder thereof to a right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price or strike price, as the case may be, of the Company Stock Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Right, subject to Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.2(f) hereof (the “Stock Right Termination Consideration”). In the event the per share exercise price or the strike price or base price of a Company Stock Right, as adjusted, is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Right shall be canceled as of the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration therefor and shall have no further force or effect. Payment of the Stock Right Termination Consideration shall be made following the Effective Time in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices and, to the extent practicable, as part of the payment made in respect of the first full payroll period ending after the date on which the Effective Time occurs, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such date. The Company

Stock-Based Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time the holders of Company Stock Rights shall have no further rights with respect thereto other than to receive the Stock Right Termination Consideration, if any, as provided herein.

(b) Company Restricted Shares. Each outstanding share of restricted stock awarded under the Company Stock-Based Plans or under any separate agreement (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest and become free of restrictions as of the Effective Time and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, subject to the applicable provisions of Section 2.2. All payments with respect to such Company Restricted Shares shall be made by the Paying Agent (or such other agent reasonably acceptable to the Company as Parent shall designate prior to the Effective Time) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.2.

(c) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will adopt such resolutions as shall be necessary, and will take all such other actions as may be required, to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.4, including without limitation to effectuate the vesting of the Company Stock Rights and Company Restricted Shares and the termination of the Company Stock-Based Plans, in each case as of the Effective Time, without paying any consideration or incurring any debts or obligations on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this ARTICLE III and the disclosure in any paragraph or in any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or any SEC Document shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section of this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face without further inquiry.

Section 5.2 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to a Takeover Proposal and shall seek to have returned to the Company any confidential information that has been provided in any such activities, discussions or negotiations. From the date hereof, the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, or employees or any Affiliate, investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant, or any other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information which has not been previously publicly disseminated), or take any other action intended to facilitate or encourage, any inquiries or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) conduct, participate, or engage in any discussions or negotiations or provide any non-public information or data to any Person, regarding any Takeover Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse, recommend, make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Takeover Proposal or (iv) approve any transaction (other than the transactions contemplated hereby) pursuant to which any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent would become an “interested shareholder” under, Section 33-844 of the CBCA or (v) terminate, amend or waive any material rights under (or fail to take commercially reasonable steps to enforce rights under) any “standstill” or other similar agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent) except as permitted in Section 5.1(a)(xiv); provided, however, that following the receipt of an unsolicited Superior Proposal or a bona fide written unsolicited Takeover Proposal which the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after taking into account the legal, financial, financing and other aspects of such bona fide written unsolicited Takeover Proposal, that such Takeover Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal made on or after the date hereof but prior to the date of the Special Meeting, in circumstances not otherwise involving a breach of this Agreement, the Company may, in response to such Superior Proposal or such Takeover Proposal and subject to compliance with Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.2(c), (A) request information from the Person making such Superior Proposal or such Takeover Proposal for the purpose of the Board informing itself about the Superior Proposal or Takeover Proposal that has been made and the Person that made it, (B) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Superior Proposal or such Takeover Proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, provided that (1) such confidentiality agreement contains substantially the same terms as (or terms no less favorable to the Company) than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of June 16, 2014, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and (2) the Company advises Parent of all such nonpublic information delivered to such Person concurrently with its delivery to the requesting Person, and (C) participate in negotiations with such Person regarding such Superior Proposal or such Takeover Proposal; provided further, that the actions described in clauses (B) and (C) of the immediately preceding proviso may be taken only on or before the date the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained. It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any officer, director, investment banker, attorney, or other advisor or representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.2(a) by the Company.

(b) Except as expressly permitted in this Section 5.2(b), neither the Board nor any committee thereof shall, directly or indirectly, (i) withdraw, qualify, or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify, or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the approval, determination of advisability, or recommendation by the Board or any such committee of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, any Takeover Proposal, (iii) in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer for any outstanding Company Common Stock, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Company’s shareholders within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Board in respect of the acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer by its shareholders as of the end of the ten (10) day Business Day period shall constitute a failure to recommend against any such offer); (iv) cause the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement related to any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.2(a)), or (v) recommend that the Company’s shareholders reject adoption of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby (any action described in clauses (i)-(v) above being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, prior to the date of the Special Meeting, and subject to compliance with all of the requirements of this Section 5.2(b) and Sections 5.2(a), 5.2(c) and 5.2(d), (xx) withdraw or modify its approval, determination of advisability, or recommendation of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (yy) determine to be advisable or recommend a Superior Proposal, if in either case the Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable law, either (A) in response to a Superior Proposal that was unsolicited and made after the date hereof in circumstances not otherwise involving a breach of this Agreement, after considering applicable provisions of state law and after consultation with outside counsel, or (B) based upon a material development or change that impacts the Company that was neither known to, nor reasonably foreseeable by, the Board or management of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of or prior to the date hereof (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”); provided that (a) in no event shall the receipt, existence or terms of a Takeover Proposal constitute an Intervening Event and (b) any effect resulting from any of the Changes specified in Section 3.1(b)(ii)(1) through (11) shall not be considered when determining whether an Intervening Effect shall have occurred.

(c) The Company may take the actions described in Section 5.2(b)(xx) and (yy) only after (i) providing Parent prompt written notice (within 24 hours of receipt) advising Parent that the Board has received a Superior Proposal or that an Intervening Event has occurred, such notice also specifying, in the case of a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal (unless identifying the Person would violate an obligation of confidentiality), and in the case of an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event, and (ii) Parent does not provide within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the written notice from the Company

of such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event an offer that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor, in the case of a Superior Proposal, is at least as favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders (taking into account all the terms and conditions of such offer and this Agreement that the Board determines in good faith to be relevant), or in the case of an Intervening Event, obviates the need for the Company to take the actions described in Section 5.2(b)(xx) and (yy). In the event Parent’s offer (as described in the preceding sentence) is determined by the Company, in the case of a Superior Proposal, to be at least as favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders, or in the case of an Intervening Event, to obviate the need for the Company to take the actions described in Section 5.2(b)(xx) and (yy), then this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in accordance with the terms of that offer, Company shall terminate such other discussions, and (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) take any and all necessary actions to consummate the Merger.

(d) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b), the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of any Takeover Proposal) advise Parent in writing of (i) any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (ii) any request for confidential information in connection with a Takeover Proposal, (iii) any Takeover Proposal, including a Superior Proposal, (iv) the Board’s determination that any Takeover Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, (v) the material terms and conditions of such inquiry, indication of interest, request for confidential information or any Takeover Proposal, (vi) the identity of the Person making such request or such Takeover Proposal (unless identifying the Person would violate an obligation of confidentiality), and (vii) any requests made by the Company for information about the Takeover Proposal or the Person that made it. The Company shall keep Parent fully informed with respect to the status of any such inquiry, indication of interest, request for confidential information, Takeover Proposal, or any significant developments in respect thereof.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company’s shareholders; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Board or any committee thereof shall, except as in accordance with Section 5.2(b), withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its approval, determination or recommendation or approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, a Takeover Proposal.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and representatives) to acquire or purchase, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,

or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited, bona fide written offer from any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and representatives) for the direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 50% or more of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or 50% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 50% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, made on terms that the Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside counsel and taking into account all relevant factors, including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal (including, but not limited to, any break-up fee, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions and timing to consummation, form of consideration and any financing required and whether or not such financing is subject to any contingency) and the Person or group making such Takeover Proposal) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after giving effect to any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise); provided, however, that no Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Superior Proposal unless (A) there is no financing contingency and any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such proposal is committed at least to the same extent as the financing arranged by Parent and (B) there will not be a due diligence condition to the third party’s obligation to consummate the transactions that are the subject of such proposal in the definitive agreement related thereto; (C) the transactions contemplated by such Takeover Proposal are reasonably capable of being completed in accordance with their terms without undue delay; and (D) the Board has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties under applicable law. Any Superior Proposal is a Takeover Proposal.

(g) The Board shall not, in connection with any Change of Recommendation, take any action to change the approval of the Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.3 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to both Parent and the Company. Thereafter, so long as this Agreement is in effect, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consultation of the other parties hereto, except any publication of any press release or other announcement made in connection with any Superior Proposal or as may be required by law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange as determined in the good faith judgment of the party hereto wanting to make such release.

Section 5.4 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the other if any of the following occur after the date of this Agreement: (a) receipt of any notice or other communication in writing from any Person, not a party hereto, alleging that the consent or approval of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity or NASDAQ (or any other securities market), as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (c) the occurrence of an event which would be reasonably likely to (i) have a Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger or (ii) cause any condition to the Merger to be unsatisfied at any time prior to the Outside Date (as defined in Section 7.1(b)(ii)); provided, however, that the delivery of any written notice pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies of the parties hereto available hereunder.

Section 5.5 Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, and subject to such requirements as the Company reasonably may impose to minimize disruption of its business, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of Parent, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, reasonable access to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, its facilities (including without limitation to perform environmental assessments), and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Parent (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it with or from the SEC during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would (a) violate applicable law or a contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third-party, (b) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, (c) expose the Company to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information, or (d) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.5(b), require invasive environmental sampling (it being understood, in case of clauses (a), (b) and (c), that the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such access or information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy, violation or exposure).

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall permit Parent to conduct such environmental inspections of the Company’s Leased Real Property located in Connecticut as Parent reasonably deems necessary to assess the environmental remediation obligations that could arise pursuant to the Connecticut Transfer Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. section 22a-134 et seq., including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental investigation or similar invasive testing of ground soil, soil vapor or ground water in connection therewith. The Company shall, and shall cause its officers, employees, counsel and other representatives to, cooperate with Parent in connection with such inspections, including, without limitation, (i) making any appropriate filings and meeting with the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection and (ii) using its best efforts to obtain any required landlord consent necessary to conduct such investigation and testing.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to (x) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof and to take any and all other reasonable actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as possible and (y) file any notifications or filings required to be filed under similar applicable foreign laws and regulations as promptly as reasonably practicable, in any event within fifteen (15) days of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the

contrary, in connection with seeking any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity related to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in no event will any party hereto be obligated to agree to, or proffer to, divest or hold separate, or enter into any licensing or similar arrangement with respect to, any assets or any portion of any business of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, using all reasonable efforts to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and using all reasonable efforts to defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages.

Section 5.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify, advance expenses to, and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case to the fullest extent permitted by law, in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to or after the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions substantially similar in terms to the rights granted in the provisions with respect to indemnification and insurance set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company By-laws in effect on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Company’s employees, agents, directors or officers for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, except if such amendment is required by applicable law. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether an officer’s or director’s conduct complies with the standards set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the Company By-laws shall be made by independent counsel selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to such officer or director. Parent shall pay such reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses. With respect to acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, the Company may, in its sole discretion, on or prior to the Effective Time (after consultation with Parent) purchase (and if it does not, at or after the Effective Time Parent shall purchase or cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase) a tail, run-off or similar director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage policy for a period of six (6) years, with the same or substantially similar coverages as are currently in effect for the Company, at no cost to the beneficiaries thereof; provided that the total premiums to be paid for such policy shall not exceed $150,000 annually (and if the total premium of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a tail policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount). If the Company does purchase such a tail, run-off or similar director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage policy prior to the Effective Time in compliance with this Section 5.7, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policy as purchased by the Company in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder.

(b) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume its obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

Section 5.8 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) For purposes of all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) and other employment agreements, arrangements and policies of Parent under which an employee’s benefits depends, in whole or in part, on length of service, credit will be given to current employees of the Company (“Company Employees”) for service with the Company prior to the Effective Time, provided that except in the case of severance or vacation accrual, such crediting of service shall be solely for purposes of eligibility and vesting under such plans and not for purposes of benefit accrual, and provided further that such crediting is permitted under the terms of such plans (including, without limitation the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Stock Advantage Plan), and applicable law and does not result in duplication of benefits. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor in accordance with their terms all Company Benefit Plans that are in effect as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent may, or may cause the Surviving Corporation to, amend, modify or terminate any individual Company Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms and applicable law.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take the necessary action to terminate its 401(k) plans effective as of the Closing Date. Upon request of an employee of the Company and to the extent permitted by the Company’s 401(k) plans and applicable law, Parent shall permit the direct rollover of cash account balances and any notes evidencing an outstanding plan loan or loans to Parent’s 401(k) plan. The Company further agrees, upon Parent’s request (which request shall be made no less than ten (10) days prior the Effective Time), to take any and all actions required (including the adoption of resolutions by the Board) to amend, freeze and/or terminate any or all Company Benefit Plans immediately before (but contingent upon) the Effective Time, and, if requested by Parent, to implement any and all such actions.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.8, (iii) limit the right of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time, (iv) require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to provide any particular employee benefits, rates of base salary or hourly wage or annual bonus opportunities for any period following the Effective Time or (v) obligate the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries to (A) maintain any particular Company Benefit Plan or (B) retain the employment of any particular Company Employee.

In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Parent.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Termination. Anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger contemplated herein may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after shareholder approval thereof:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, by written notice to the other:

(i) if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including each of the Merger and the Shareholders’ Agreement) and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have used all reasonable efforts to challenge such order, decree, ruling or other action; or

(ii) if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before January 30, 2015 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that a party hereto may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(ii) if its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement results in the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such time; provided, further, that the Outside Date shall be extended day-by-day for each day during which any party hereto shall be subject to a nonfinal order, decree, ruling or action restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; and provided, further, however, that the Outside Date shall not be extended past April 30, 2015, as a result of the operation of the immediately preceding proviso;

(i) if the required approval of the shareholders of the Company shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a vote held at a duly held meeting of shareholders at which a quorum of shareholders was present in person or by proxy, or at any adjournment thereof;

(ii) if the Company exercises its rights described in clauses (xx) or (yy) of Section 5.2(b)); provided that prior thereto or simultaneously therewith the Company has paid the Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with Section 7.3; or

(iii) if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) not to be satisfied, and (B) cannot be cured or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (1) one Business Day prior to the Outside Date and (2) the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the Company gives written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Parent; or

(d) by Parent:

(ii) if the Board or any committee thereof (a) shall have withdrawn, qualified, or modified, or proposed publicly to withdraw, qualify, or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, its adoption, approval or recommendation of this Agreement, the Merger, or any other transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) shall have approved or recommended, or proposed publicly to approve or recommend, or taken a neutral position with respect to, any Takeover Proposal, (c) shall have resolved to take any of the foregoing actions, or (d) shall have failed to affirm its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger within five (5) days of a request to do so by Parent; or

(iii) if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) not to be satisfied, and (B) cannot be cured or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (1) one Business Day prior to the Outside Date and (2) the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after Parent gives written notice of such breach or failure to perform to the Company.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party or parties hereto specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement (other than Sections 5.11, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.4, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, and 8.11 hereof) shall forthwith become null and void, and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, or Merger Sub, or the Company, except as provided in Section 7.3; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.2 shall relieve any party hereto of any liability resulting from fraud or a willful and material breach prior to any such termination of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred by the parties hereto shall be borne solely by the party hereto that has incurred such fees and expenses. For the sake of clarity, the cost of preparing printing, and mailing the Proxy Statement shall be borne by the Company.

(b) In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or 7.1(d)(i) or (ii) the Termination Fee is due and payable to Parent pursuant to

the circumstances described in Section 7.3(c), then the Company shall promptly pay Parent an amount equal to all reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Parent and Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate).

(c) In the event that: (i) a Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or shall have been made directly to its shareholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Takeover Proposal and thereafter this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or 7.1(d)(i) hereof, and within twelve (12) months of such termination, the Company enters into an agreement or a series of agreements for the sale of more than 50% of its capital stock or assets to one or more third parties other than Parent or its Subsidiaries; or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) or is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii) or (iii) the Company breaches, in any material respect, the provisions contained in either Section 1.5 (Shareholders’ Meeting; Proxy Statement) or Section 5.2 (No Solicitation), in order to accept a Takeover Proposal, then the Company shall pay to Parent within one (1) Business Day of the termination of the Agreement (or in the case of subclause (c)(i) or (c)(iii) upon the entry of such agreements or series of agreements or acceptance of a Takeover Proposal, respectively), a termination fee equal to $7,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. The fee arrangement contemplated hereby shall be paid pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) regardless of any alleged breach by Parent of its obligations hereunder; provided that no payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall operate or be construed as a waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or of any rights of the Company in respect thereof or as a waiver by Parent or Merger Sub of any breach of this Agreement by the Company or of any rights of Parent or Merger Sub in respect thereof; and provided further, that the Termination Fee and any reimbursement of expenses due pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereof, if paid, shall be credited against any damages recovered by Parent or Merger Sub from the Company arising from such breach. Notwithstanding Section 7.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, payment of the fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub in connection with any termination of this Agreement in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee becomes payable. In the event that Parent shall receive the Termination Fee, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

Section 7.4 Parent’s Liability for Breach. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE VII, in the event of a material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any of their

representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company would be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity on behalf of itself and its shareholders, including the right to seek specific performance and to recover damages, including, without duplication, the loss of the benefit of the Merger to the Company and the lost shareholder premium and any benefit to Parent or its stockholders arising from such Parent or Merger Sub breach.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Shareholder is the beneficial owner (“beneficial owner,” “beneficial ownership,” “beneficially,” and related terms, wherever used herein, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including, without limitation, Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)) of the number of shares of common stock, no par value (“Company Common Stock”), of BOLT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”) set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto (the total number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Shareholders, together with any shares of Company Common Stock acquired or beneficially owned by Shareholder after the date hereof, whether upon the exercise of options or other rights, the vesting of restricted stock, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities, whether by means of purchase, dividend, distribution, or otherwise, prior to the termination of this Agreement, together with all associated rights and interests, being collectively referred to as the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) of even date herewith, which (upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein) provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have requested the Shareholders to agree, and in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Shareholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

Section 1.1 Authorization.

(a) Shareholder possesses the requisite power, authority and legal capacity to (i) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to appoint or cause to be appointed Merger Sub and Parent (or any nominee thereof) as Shareholder’s Proxy (as defined below), and (iii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity.

(c) There is no other beneficial owner of any of the Shares set forth opposite Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto or other beneficiary or holder of any other interest in any of such Shares whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or for the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 1.2 No Conflicts; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by Shareholder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any law applicable to Shareholder or by which Shareholder or any of Shareholder’s assets are bound or affected, or (ii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien or encumbrance on any assets of Shareholder, including, without limitation, the Shares set forth opposite Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto, pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise, or other instrument or obligation to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder or any of Shareholder’s assets are bound or affected, except for such conflict, violation, breach or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not prevent or in any way impair Shareholder’s ability to perform Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by Shareholder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign.

During the Support Period, Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints Parent and Merger Sub, or any nominee designated by Parent and Merger Sub, with full power of substitution and resubstitution at any time during the Support Period, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and proxy (“Proxy”), for and in its name, place, and stead, in the Proxy’s discretion, to demand that the Secretary of the Company call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company for the purpose of considering any matter referred to in Section 2.1 and to vote each Share held by Shareholder as Shareholder’s Proxy in respect of any such matter, at every annual, special, adjourned, or postponed meeting of the shareholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to sign its name as Shareholder (or to direct the record owner to sign its name as shareholder) to any consent, certificate, or other document relating to the Company that the law of the State of Connecticut might permit or require. SHAREHOLDER HEREBY AFFIRMS THAT THE FOREGOING PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY ARE IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE SUPPORT PERIOD.

(b) Shareholder hereby agrees, if so requested by Parent, (i) that the Shares held by Shareholder shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement and to an irrevocable proxy and (ii) that, subject to the terms of Section 2.3(a), such Shareholder shall not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of Shareholder’s Shares without first having the aforementioned legend affixed to the certificates representing such Shares.

(a) During the Support Period, each Shareholder covenants and agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, or take any other action designed to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal from any Person (other than from Parent or Merger Sub) relating to any transaction that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal.

(b) During the Support Period, each Shareholder further covenants and agrees not to participate in any discussions or negotiations (except with Parent or Merger Sub) regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub or if required by law or compelled by subpoena or similar legal process) any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in or facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) to make or effect, any transaction that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal.

Shareholder agrees that it shall not compromise, offer to settle, agree to any settlement of or come to any arrangement regarding any such litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent that any such compromise, offer, agreement or arrangement does not involve any monetary payment to any plaintiff or their counsel).

ARTICLE III

(a) Shareholder hereby agrees that he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, promoter, lender, or in any other individual or representative capacity, from and after the Effective Time until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”):
