EXHIBIT 10.2 - ------------ LANDAUER, INC. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT UNDER INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN Landauer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to NAME (the "Holder") as of DATE (the "Grant Date"), pursuant to the provisions of the Landauer, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), a performance share award (the "Award") of NUMBER shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.10 par value ("Shares"), upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan. 1. AWARD SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT. The Award shall be null and void unless the Holder shall (a) accept this Agreement by executing it in the space provided below and returning it to the Company and (b) if requested by the Company, execute and return one or more irrevocable stock powers to facilitate the transfer to the Company (or its assignee or nominee) of the Shares subject to the Award if Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof or if required under applicable laws or regulations. As soon as practicable after the Holder has executed this Agreement and, if requested by the Company, such stock power or powers, and returned the same to the Company, the Company shall cause to be registered in the Holder's name the total number of Shares subject to the Award. 2. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. The Holder shall have the right to vote the Shares subject to the Award unless and until such Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Dividends or other distributions with respect to such Shares (including, without limitation, regular cash dividends, a stock dividend or stock split) shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares with respect to which such dividend or other distribution was made (and if the Holder shall have received such dividend or other distribution, the Holder shall deliver the same to the Company and shall, if requested by the Company, execute and return one or more irrevocable stock powers related thereto) and shall be paid (without interest) to the Holder as soon as practicable after the vesting of the Shares. 3. CUSTODY AND DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING SHARES. The Shares subject to the Award shall be held by the Company or by a custodian in book entry form, with restrictions on the Shares duly noted, until such Award shall have vested pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and as soon thereafter as practicable, the vested Shares shall be delivered to the Holder as the Holder shall direct. Alternatively, in the sole discretion of the Company, the Company shall hold a certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to the Award until such Award shall have vested, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and the Company shall as soon thereafter as practicable, deliver the certificate or certificates for the vested Shares to the Holder and destroy the stock power or powers relating to the vested Shares delivered by the Holder pursuant to Section 1 hereof. If such stock power or powers also relate to unvested Shares, the Company may require, as a condition precedent to delivery of any certificate pursuant to this Section 3, the execution and delivery to the Company of one or more stock powers relating to such unvested Shares. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to the delivery of Shares to the Holder. 1 4. VESTING. (a) The Shares subject to the Award shall vest upon the achievement of certain performance milestones outlined on the attached DOCUMENT or contained herein. (b) If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of Disability or by reason of the Holder's death, each Share subject to the Award which has not previously vested shall vest in full as of the date that the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company. (c) If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of retirement on or after age 65 (or prior to age 65 with the consent of the Committee), the Award shall vest with respect to the number of Shares subject to the Award which have not previously vested multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of days between the Grant Date and the date on which the Holder's employment terminates (including the date of such termination) and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. (d) If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of involuntary termination without cause, the Award shall vest with respect to the number of Shares subject to the Award which have not previously vested multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of days between the Grant Date and the date on which the Holder's employment terminates (including the date of such termination) and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. Notwithstanding this provision, where the Holder is employed pursuant to an employment agreement in effect prior to the date of the Award that provides for the vesting in full of stock option awards upon involuntary termination without cause, the Shares subject to this award shall also vest in full. (e) If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason other than Disability, death, retirement on or after age 65 (or prior to age 65 with the consent of the Committee) or involuntary termination without cause, each Share subject to the Award which has not vested prior thereto shall be forfeited by the Holder and shall be transferred, without payment of any consideration to the Holder, to the Company (or its assignee or nominee) and all rights of the Holder to or with respect to such Share shall terminate; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting thereof. 5.

As a further condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder of any Shares subject to the Award, the Holder shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision over the issuance of the Shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents which the Board or the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. 5.3. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.
