Exhibit 10.3
2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN OF
AMETEK, INC.
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
FORNON-U.S. RECIPIENTS
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FORNON-U.S. RECIPIENTS, including any special terms and conditions for the recipient’s country as set forth in the addendum (“Addendum”) attached hereto (collectively, the “Agreement”), made as of the Award Date, by and between AMETEK, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “AMETEK”), and the Recipient.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan of AMETEK, Inc. (the “Plan”), pursuant to which the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) may, inter alia, award Performance Restricted Stock Units to such employees ornon-employee directors of the Company and its Affiliates as the Committee may determine, and subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Committee has awarded to the Recipient a Performance Restricted Stock Unit, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient on the Award Date, a Performance Restricted Stock Unit award, and such units, the “Performance Restricted Stock Units,” are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Plan.
2. At such time the Performance Restricted Stock Units become vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to Paragraph 3, the Company will deliver to the Recipient an unrestricted certificate for a number of shares of Company Stock equal to the number of Performance Restricted Stock Units that became vested (“PRSU Shares”) or an equivalent cash amount based on the value of a share of Company Stock, or a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee, in its discretion. The applicable date of delivery of the PRSU Shares or cash shall be no later than sixty (60) days after the date or event on which the Performance Restricted Stock Units become vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to Paragraph 3, except as set forth in Paragraph 17.
3. The Performance Restricted Stock Units (to the extent earned pursuant to Paragraph 4 below) shall become vested and nonforfeitable on the date the results are certified by the Committee which shall in any event occur within three months following the end of the Performance Period (the “Vest Date”). Vesting is contingent on continued employment throughout the Vest Date, except that:
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 1 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
(a) in the event of death or Disability of the Recipient; or
(b) the Recipient’s Separation from Service with the Company (or any successor or Affiliate of the Company) as a result of and concurrent with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan)
the Performance Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and nonforfeitable on the Vest Date in an amount equal to the initial Performance Restricted Stock Unit award (the “Target Award”).
In addition, in the event of the Recipient’s attainment of at least fifty-five (55) years of age and at least ten (10) years of service with the Company (or any successor or Affiliate of the Company) at the Recipient’s termination of employment date occurring on or after December 31st of the first year of the “Performance Period” (as such term is defined inExhibit A), then the Performance Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and nonforfeitable on the Vest Date, to the extent that the performance goals are achieved. For purposes of grants to Recipients outside the United States, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in an Employer’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to Performance Restricted Stock Units under the Plan being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike certain provisions of the Agreement, including this paragraph 3, to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under the law.
Except to the extent, if any, that the Performance Restricted Stock Unit shall have become nonforfeitable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 3, if the Recipient shall voluntarily or involuntarily leave the employ of the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Vest Date, the Performance Restricted Stock Unit (and any dividends, distributions and adjustments retained by the Company with respect thereto) shall be forfeited.
Furthermore, for purposes of the Performance Restricted Stock Units, the Recipient’s Separation from Service will be deemed to occur (regardless of the reason for such Separation from Service, and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Recipient is employed or rendering services, or the terms of his or her employment or service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement or determined by the Company, the Recipient’s right to vest in the Performance Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Recipient’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Recipient is employed or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any). The Committee shall have exclusive discretion to determine when the Recipient is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her Performance Restricted Stock Units (including whether the Recipient may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
4. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to adjustments permitted by the Plan, the number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which will vest under this Agreement, if any, will be determined by multiplying (a) the sum of (i) 0.5 times the vested percentage applicable to Return on Tangible Capital (“ROTC”) plus (ii) 0.5 times the vested percentage applicable to Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) by (b) the Target Award. The maximum number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which can vest is 200% of the Target Award and the minimum number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which can vest is 0% of the Target Award. The vested percentage applicable to ROTC and TSR will each be determined over the “Performance Period” (as such term is defined inExhibit A) as illustrated in the schedules attached to this Agreement asExhibit A.
5. The Recipient shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, “transfer”) any Performance Restricted Stock Units, or any interest therein other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Performance Restricted Stock Units have been settled as provided in this Agreement.
6. Prior to the issuance of PRSU Shares, Recipient will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to this Performance Restricted Stock Unit award or the Performance Restricted Stock Units.
7. If the number of outstanding shares of Company Stock changes through the declaration of stock dividends or stock splits prior to the vesting date, the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award automatically will be adjusted, according to the provisions of Section 5(e) of the Plan. In the event of any other change in the capital structure or the Company Stock or other corporate events or transactions involving the Company, the Committee is authorized to make appropriate adjustments to this award.
8. Recipient shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents with respect to outstanding Performance Restricted Stock Units prior to the applicable vesting date. Such Dividend Equivalents will be credited to the Recipient as a cash value plus interest, which shall be held by the Company subject hereto. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, interest shall be credited from the date a Dividend Equivalent with respect to the Performance Restricted Stock Units is made to the date on which the Company distributes such amounts to the Recipient, at the five-year Treasury Note rate, plus 0.5% as such rate is set forth in the Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each calendar quarter. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and shall vest and be paid, or be forfeited (if applicable), at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.
9. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that regardless of any action taken by the Company, or if different, the Subsidiary Corporation or Affiliate for which the Recipient provides services (the “Employer”) with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and/ornon-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or othertax-related items related to the Recipient’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Recipient(“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for allTax- Related Items is and remains the Recipient’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Recipient further acknowledges that the
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 3 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of anyTax-Related items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Restricted Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the awards, or the subsequent sale of PRSU Shares acquired under the Plan; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the award to reduce or eliminate the Recipient’s liability forTax-Related Items or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if the Recipient is subject toTax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Company or Employer may be required to withhold or account forTax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Recipient agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy allTax-Related Items. In this regard, the Recipient authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard toTax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company, the Employer or any other subsidiary;
(b) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of PRSU Shares acquired at vesting of the Performance Restricted Stock Unit either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Recipient’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent;
(c) withhold such number of shares of Company Stock (thus reducing the number of shares to be issued to the Recipient) as shall have a Fair Market Value, valued on the date on whichTax-Related Items are determined, equal to the amount required to be withheld to satisfy the Company (or successor or Affiliate’s) withholding obligations; or
(d) any other method approved by the Committee and permitted by applicable laws.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account forTax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Recipient may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the Company Stock equivalent) or, if not refunded, the Recipient may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. If the obligation forTax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding shares of Company Stock, for tax purposes, the Recipient is deemed to have been issued the full number of PRSU Shares, notwithstanding that Company Stock is held back solely for purposes of paying theTax-Related Items.
Finally, the Recipient agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount ofTax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Recipient’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the PRSU Shares or the proceeds of the sale of PRSU Shares, if the Recipient fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with theTax-Related Items.
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 4 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 9 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A, if shares of Company Stock underlying the Performance Restricted Stock Units will be withheld to satisfy anyTax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Performance Restricted Stock Units for any portion of the Performance Restricted Stock Units that is considered an item of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, then the number of shares of Company Stock withheld shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for theTax-Related Items.
10. The Company and the Recipient each hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.
11. Any notices or other communications given in connection with this Agreement shall be sent either by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight mail, facsimile, or electronic mail to the Company and Recipient address or number of record or to such changed address or number as to which either party has given notice to the other party in accordance with this Paragraph 11. All notices shall be deemed given when so mailed, or if sent by facsimile or electronic mail, when electronic confirmation of the transmission is received, except that a notice of change of address shall be deemed given when received.
12. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the whole agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Performance Restricted Stock Unit award.
13. In accepting the Performance Restricted Stock Unit award, the Recipient acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (ii) the grant of Performance Restricted Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants or benefits in lieu of Performance Restricted Stock Units, even if such awards have been granted in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the grant and the Recipient’s participation in the Plan shall not be construed as creating any contract of employment between the Company and the Recipient and does not entitle the Recipient to any benefit other than that granted under this Agreement; (v) the Recipient is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (vi) the Performance Restricted Stock Units and the PRSU Shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (vii) the Performance Restricted Stock Units and the PRSU Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal,end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; (viii) the future value of the PRSU Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (ix) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance Restricted Stock Units resulting from a Separation of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where the
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 5 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
Recipient is employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Recipient’s employment or service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant, the Recipient agrees not to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary Corporation; (x) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Restricted Stock Units and PRSU Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with the service the Recipient may provide as a director of any Subsidiary Corporation or Affiliate; and (x) neither the Company, the Employer or any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Recipient’s local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Restricted Stock Units or any amounts due to the Recipient pursuant to the settlement of the awards or subsequent sale of PRSU Shares acquired upon settlement.
14. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the Recipient and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Recipient.
15.The Recipient hereby explicitly, voluntarily and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Recipient’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Plan materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any other Subsidiary Corporation for the exclusive purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Recipient’s participation in the Plan.
The Recipient understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Recipient, including, but not limited to, the Recipient’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Company Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Recipient’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Recipient’s participation in the Plan.
The Recipient understands that Data may be transferred to Schwab Stock Plan Services, which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Recipient’s country. The Recipient understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Recipient authorizes the Company, and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Recipient’s participation in the Plan. The Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Recipient’s participation in the Plan. The Recipient understands that he or she
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 6 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Recipient understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Recipient does not consent, or if the Recipient later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment or service relationship will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Recipient’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Performance Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Recipient or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Recipient understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Recipient’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Recipient’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Recipient understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
16. If the Recipient resides in a country outside the United States, or is otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States, the Performance Restricted Stock Units and the PRSU Shares acquired under the Plan shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions for the Recipient’s country set forth in the Addendum. Moreover, if the Recipient relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Recipient, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Addendum constitutes part of the Agreement.
17. If the Recipient has received the Agreement or any other document related to the Performance Restricted Stock Units and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
18. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Recipient’s participation in the Plan, on the Performance Restricted Stock Units and on any PRSU Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Recipient to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
19. The Recipient acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of any provision of the Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Recipient or any other participant in the Plan.
20. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Recipient hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through anon-line electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
21. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more of the provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise enforceable, in whole or in part, then such provisions will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.

| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
22. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Agreement, unless there is an exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the PRSU Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any PRSU Shares upon settlement of the awards prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Company Stock under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Recipient understands that the Company is under no obligations to register or qualify the Company Stock with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Company Stock. Further, the Recipient agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Agreement without his or her consent, to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of Company Stock.
23. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Pennsylvania, United States of America and agree that such litigation will be conducted in Chester County, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Pennsylvania and no other courts.
24. The Recipient acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Recipient’s ability to acquire or hold PRSU Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside of the Recipient’s country. The Recipient may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Recipient may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to the Recipient’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Recipient acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Recipient should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
25. The Recipient acknowledges that, depending on his or her country of residence, or broker’s country of residence, or where the Company Stock is listed, the Recipient may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of Company Stock, rights to Company Stock or rights linked to the value of Company Stock, during such times as the Recipient is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdiction of the Recipient’s country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Recipient places before possessing inside information. Furthermore,
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 8 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
the Recipient may be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities (third parties include fellow employees). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Recipient acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions as well as any applicable Company insider trading policy, and the Recipient is advised to speak to his personal advisor on this matter.
26. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Recipient’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition of PRSU Shares. The Recipient should consult with his or her own tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
27. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the Recipient’s consent, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of cash or Company Stock pursuant to the Performance Restricted Stock Unit. The Company (including its Affiliates) shall not have any liability under the Plan or this Agreement for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A. Each amount to be paid under this Agreement shall be construed as a separately identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Recipient is deemed on the date of his or her Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A and the Recipient is subject to U.S. federal taxation, then, to the extent the settlement of the Performance Restricted Stock Units following such Separation from Service is considered the payment of“non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such settlement shall be delayed until the first business day of the seventh month following the Recipient’s Separation from Service, or, if earlier, on the date of the Recipient’s death, solely to the extent such delayed payment is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A.
28. The Recipient recognizes and acknowledges that, by reason of Recipient’s employment by and service to the Company or an Affiliate, Recipient has had and will continue to have access to confidential information of the Company and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, information and knowledge pertaining to products and services offered, innovations, designs, ideas, plans, trade secrets, proprietary information, distribution and sales methods and systems, sales and profit figures, customer and client lists, and relationships between the Company and its Affiliates and other distributors, customers, clients, suppliers and others who have business dealings with the Company and its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”). The
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 9 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
Recipient acknowledges that such Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset and covenants that Recipient will not, either during or after Recipient’s employment by the Company, use or disclose any such Confidential Information except to authorized representatives of the Company or as required in the performance of Recipient’s duties and responsibilities. The Recipient shall not be required to keep confidential any Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Recipient, (ii) is already in Recipient’s possession (unless obtained from the Company (or an Affiliate) or one of its customers) or (iii) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the Recipient shall provide the Company written notice of any such order prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable under the circumstances and permitted by applicable law. Further, the Recipient shall be free to use and employ Recipient’s general skills,know-how and expertise, and to use, disclose and employ any contact information, generalized ideas, concepts,know-how, methods, techniques or skills, including, without limitation, those gained or learned during the course of the performance of Recipient’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, so long as Recipient applies such information without disclosure or use of any Confidential Information. Upon the Recipient’s Separation from Service, the Recipient will return (or destroy, if requested by Company) all Confidential Information to the Company to the fullest extent possible.
29. During the Recipient’s employment and at any time thereafter, the Recipient agrees not to at any time make statements or representations, orally or in writing, that disparage the commercial reputation, goodwill or interests of the Company (or an Affiliate), or any current or former employee, officer, or director of the Company (or an Affiliate). Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise prevent (i) any person from providing truthful testimony or information in any proceeding or in response to any request from any governmental agency or any judicial, arbitral or self-regulatory forum or as otherwise required by law; (ii) either party from enforcing the other terms of this Agreement; (iii) the Company (or an Affiliate) from reviewing the Recipient’s performance, conducting investigations and otherwise acting in compliance with applicable law, including making statements or reports in connection therewith, or making any public filings or reports that may be required by law; (iv) the Recipient from the performance of Recipient’s duties while employed by the Company (or an Affiliate); or (v) the Recipient from making a report to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress and any agency Inspector General, if Recipient has a reasonable belief that there has been a potential violation of federal or state law or regulation or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable federal or state law or regulation. No prior authorization to make any such reports or disclosures is required and the Recipient is not required to notify the Company that Recipient has made such reports or disclosures. The Recipient, however, may not waive the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) attorney-client privilege.

Exhibit A
2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN OF
AMETEK, INC.
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to adjustments permitted by the Plan, the number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which will vest under this Agreement, if any, will be determined by multiplying (a) the sum of (i) 0.5 times the vested percentage applicable to Return on Tangible Capital (“ROTC”) plus (ii) 0.5 times the vested percentage applicable to Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) by (b) the number of initial Performance Restricted Stock Units granted (the “Target Award”). The maximum number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which can vest is 200% of the Target Award and the minimum number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which can vest is 0% of the Target Award.
The vested percentage applicable to ROTC and TSR will each be determined over the Performance Period as illustrated in the schedules set forth below. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Performance Period” means the period beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2021.
Calculating ROTC. Annual ROTC is calculated by dividing EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), and adjusting for certainnon-GAAP charges (i.e., realignment costs) and trailing EBITDA of acquisitions, by average net tangible capital. Average net tangible capital is the simple average calculation of beginning and ending net tangible assets (total assets less cash, less goodwill and less other intangibles, net), less net current liabilities (current liabilities, less short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt).
The Compensation Committee will make adjustments, on acase-by-case basis, to modify the calculation of ROTC to fairly represent changes in U.S. GAAP occurring during the target and/or performance periods in the measurement of ROTC performance against target.
Return on Tangible Capital (ROTC)
The vested percentage applicable to ROTC will be determined based on AMETEK, Inc. average annual ROTC (“Average ROTC”) as calculated below for the Performance Period in accordance with the following schedule:
Average ROTC | ROTC Vested Percentage | |||
< 52% | 0 | % | ||
52% | 50 | % | ||
92% | 100 | % | ||
>112% | 200 | % | ||
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 11 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
Vested percentages between the amounts shown will be calculated by linear interpolation. The vested percentage applicable to ROTC will be 0% if the Average ROTC for the Performance Period is below 52%. In no event will the vested percentage applicable to ROTC be greater than 200%.
Average ROTC will equal the sum of the three annual ROTC calculations during the Performance Period divided by three.
Total Shareholder Return (TSR)
The vested percentage applicable to TSR will be determined based on AMETEK TSR (as defined below) over the Performance Period relative to the TSR of the S&P 500 Industrials Index during the same period in accordance with the following schedule:
TSR Ranking Relative to S&P 500 Industrials | TSR Vested Percentage | |||
<30thpercentile | 0 | % | ||
30thpercentile | 50 | % | ||
50thpercentile | 100 | % | ||
>80thpercentile | 200 | % | ||
Vested percentages between the amounts shown will be calculated by linear interpolation. The vested percentage applicable to TSR will be 0% if AMETEK TSR ranks lower than the 30th percentile relative to the S&P 500 Industrials. In no event will the vested percentage applicable to TSR be greater than 200%.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “TSR” means [(a) – (b) + (c)] / (b), where (a) is the Stock Price (as defined below) on the last business day of the Performance Period, (b) is the Stock Price on the first business day of the Performance Period and (c) is dividends paid during the Performance Period. The term Stock Price means the average daily closing price of a share of common stock of the Company or the companies comprising the S&P 500 Industrials, as applicable, during the preceding 10 trading days. The Stock Price for the Company shall be adjusted to reflect a stock split, reverse stock split,spin-off or other similar extraordinary event affecting the shares in question without the issuer’s receipt of consideration occurring during the
Performance Period.

Terms and Conditions
This Addendum includes special terms and conditions that govern the Performance Restricted Stock Units granted to the Recipient under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Recipient is a citizen (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, or if he or she relocates to another country after the Performance Restricted Stock Units are granted, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to the Recipient.

The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of October 2017. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Recipient not rely on the information contained herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time he or she vests in the Performance Restricted Stock Units or sells PRSU Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Recipient’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Recipient of a particular result. Accordingly, the Recipient is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Recipient’s particular situation.
Finally, if the Recipient is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, or if the Recipient relocated to another country after the grant of Performance Restricted Stock Units, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Recipient in the same manner.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Canadian residents are required to report to the tax authorities any foreign property held outside of Canada (including Performance Restricted Stock Units and PRSU Shares acquired under the Plan) annually on form Tl 135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total value of the foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded by other foreign property held by the Recipient, the Performance Restricted Stock Units must be reported (generally at nil cost). For purposes of such reporting, Company Stock acquired under the Plan may be reported at their adjusted cost base. The adjusted costs basis of stock is generally equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of acquisition; however, if the Recipient owns other stock (e.g., acquired under other circumstances or at another time), the adjusted cost basis may have to be averaged with the adjusted costs basis of the other stock.The Recipient should consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions apply only if the Recipient is subject to, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Circular on Issues concerning Administration of Foreign Exchange Used for Domestic Individuals Participation in Equity Incentive Plan of Companies Listed Overseas (“Circular 7”) issued by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”).
Immediate Sale Restriction. Due to exchange control laws in the People’s Republic of China, the Recipient understands and agrees that the Company may require that any PRSU Shares acquired upon the vesting and settlement of the Performance Restricted Stock Units be immediately sold. The Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that shares of Company Stock may be sold to satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the Performance Restricted Stock Units. If the Company, in its discretion, does not exercise its right to require the automatic sale of PRSU Shares issuable upon vesting, as described herein, the Recipient understands and agrees that any PRSU Shares acquired by the Recipient under the Plan must be sold no later six (6) month after the Recipient’s Separation from Service, or within any other such time frame as permitted by the Company or required by the China SAFE. The Recipient understands that any PRSU Shares acquired by the Recipient under the Plan that have not been sold within six (6) months of the Recipient’s Separation from Service will be automatically sold by a designated broker at the Company’s discretion, pursuant to this authorization.
The Recipient agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct the designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on the Recipient’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), and the Recipient expressly authorizes the designated broker to complete such sale of PRSU Shares. The Recipient also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the designated broker) to effectuate the sale (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that the Recipient shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the
| Non-U.S. EE Perf RSU 2019 | Page 15 of 27 | |
| Grant Plan: 11UNP1 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2011 Legal Plan |
sale occurs. The Recipient acknowledges that the designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the PRSU Shares at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the Company Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between vesting and (if later) the date on which the PRSU Shares are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to the Recipient may be more or less than the market value of the PRSU Shares upon vesting (which is the amount relevant to determining the Recipient’s liability forTax-Related Items). The Recipient understands and agrees that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss the Recipient may incur and the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in Company Stock price and/or any applicable exchange rate.
Upon the sale of the PRSU Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale (less anyTax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to the Recipient in accordance with the applicable exchange control laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, restrictions set forth in this Addendum for China below under “Exchange Control Requirements.”
Exchange Control Requirements. By accepting the Performance Restricted Stock Unit award, the Recipient understands and agrees that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, the Recipient will be required to immediately repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the PRSU Shares to China. The Recipient further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company and/or a Subsidiary Corporation, and the Recipient hereby consents and agrees that any proceeds from the sale of any PRSU Shares the Recipient acquires may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Recipient. The Recipient further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The proceeds may be paid to the Recipient in U. S. dollars or in local currency, at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Recipient understands and agrees that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China (if the Recipient does not already have one) so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid in local currency, the Recipient further understands and agrees that the Company and/or the Employer is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and there may be delays in converting the cash proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Recipient agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the cash proceeds are received and the time the cash proceeds are distributed to the Recipient through the special account described above. The Recipient further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with China exchange control requirements.

The Performance Restricted Stock Units are being granted to the Recipient pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(i) of the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore (Cap. 289).

Director Notification Obligation. If a Recipient is a director or CEO of a Singaporean Subsidiary Corporation or Affiliate, Recipient is subject to a requirement to notify such entity of the receipt of an interest (i.e. Performance Restricted Stock Units or PRSU Shares) in the Company and on the sale of any such interest. Notifications must be made within two (2) business days of the date of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or the date of becoming a director / CEO.
Insider-Trading Notification. The Recipient should be aware of Singapore’s insider-trading rules, which may impact his or her acquisition or disposal of shares or rights to shares under the Plan. Under the Singapore insider-trading rules, the Recipient is prohibited from selling shares (including PRSU Shares) when he or she possesses information, not generally available, which the Recipient knows or should know will have a material effect on the price of the shares once such information is generally available.
Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) Contributions. Notwithstanding Paragraph 9 of the Agreement, if the Recipient is a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore, the Recipient and the Recipient’s employer shall make contributions to the CPF Board in accordance with the Central Provident Fund Act (Cap. 36) of Singapore as amended from time to time (the “CPF Scheme”).

Leaving Singapore Withholding Tax Notification. Any foreign citizen or Singapore permanent resident leaving Singapore for more than 3 months and ceasing employment shall be taxed on a “deemed exercise” basis in respect of any Performance Restricted Stock Units which have been granted in respect of his/her Singapore employment and are not forfeited at the point of cessation of his/her employment. The deemed gains are based on the market value one month before the Recipient ceases employment in Singapore or the date of grant (whichever is the later). If the actual gain is less than the deemed gain, the Recipient may seek a refund within 4 years from that year of assessment.
