Exhibit 10.3
2020 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN OF AMETEK, INC.
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD FOR NON-U.S. RECIPIENTS
This PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD (“Award”) FOR NON-
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”), is granted as of the Award Date, by AMETEK, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to the Recipient.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 2020 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 or non-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 Award;
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 Award. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Award shall have the same meanings as defined in the Plan.
2.At such time as 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 18.

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:
(a)in the event of death or Disability of the Recipient; or
(b)the Recipient’s Separation from Service with the Company (or any 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 Units granted, as indicated in the “Total Granted” field on the cover page to this 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 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 in Exhibit 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 Units shall have become nonforfeitable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 3, if the Recipient otherwise ceases to remain in the employ of the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Vest Date, any unvested Performance Restricted Stock Units (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
nonUS EE Perf RSU NS 2022 Grant Plan: 20UNP3 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2020 Legal Plan NS 3-21-2022 | ||
Page 2 of 30 | ||
Performance Restricted Stock Units (including whether the Recipient may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
4.Except as otherwise provided in this Award and subject to adjustments permitted by the Plan, the number of Performance Restricted Stock Units which will vest under this Award, 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 in Exhibit A) as illustrated in the schedules attached to this Award as Exhibit 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 Award.
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 Performance Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award automatically will be adjusted, according to the provisions of Section 5(c) 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 Performance 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
nonUS EE Perf RSU NS 2022 Grant Plan: 20UNP3 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2020 Legal Plan NS 3-21-2022 | ||
Page 3 of 30 | ||
provides services (the “Employer”) with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Recipient’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Recipient (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax- 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 Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-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 for Tax-Related Items or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if the Recipient is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Company or Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-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 all Tax-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 to Tax-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 which Tax-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 for Tax- 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 for Tax-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
nonUS EE Perf RSU NS 2022 Grant Plan: 20UNP3 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2020 Legal Plan NS 3-21-2022 | ||
Page 4 of 30 | ||
PRSU Shares, notwithstanding that Company Stock is held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, the Recipient agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax- 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 the Tax-Related Items.
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 any Tax-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 the Tax-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 Award 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 Award and the Plan constitute the whole agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award.
13.This 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

Page 5 of 30 | ||
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 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.The Recipient agrees that, to the extent applicable, any shares granted hereunder will be subject to the Company’s policies with respect to the hedging and pledging of shares of Company Stock, stock ownership requirements, and clawbacks, in each case that the Company may have in effect from time to time.
15.This Award 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 or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

At all times, the Company shall maintain the confidentiality of Recipient’s personal information, except to the extent the Company is required to provide such information to governmental agencies or other parties and such actions will be undertaken by the Company only in accordance with applicable law.

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.

The Recipient hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
22.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.
23.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.

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.
1.This Award 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.
2.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.
3.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, 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.
4.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.

28.This Award is intended to be exempt from or 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 shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company (including its Affiliates) shall not have any liability under the Plan or this Award for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Plan or this Award, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A. To the extent the Award is subject to Section 409A, each amount to be paid under this Award 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.
29.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 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.

30.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 Award 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 Award; (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.
31.Notwithstanding Paragraphs 29 and 30 above, the Recipient shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law act for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in each case, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or proceeding, if such filings are made under seal.
32.In exchange for the valuable considerations included in this Award, at all times during the Recipient’s employment with the Company, and for a period of 24 months following the Recipient’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, the Recipient shall not, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, partnership, organization, agency, corporation or other entity, either directly or indirectly, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
(a)solicit, recruit, hire, or engage in any manner, or facilitate the solicitation, recruitment, hire or engagement of any employee, consultant, or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
(b)induce, encourage or assist any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant, sales agent, sales agent representative, customer, or supplier of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or
nonUS EE Perf RSU NS 2022 Grant Plan: 20UNP3 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2020 Legal Plan NS 3-21-2022 | ||
Page 10 of 30 | ||
alter his/her/its relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, or to join another business organization.
(c)solicit, accept or conduct, other than for the benefit of the Company, any business with any customer or prospective customer of the Company with whom or which the Recipient had contact or about which the Recipient learned Confidential Information during his or her employment with the Company that is competitive with the business of the Company in which the Recipient worked during his or her employment with the Company.
33.If a court determines that the non-solicitation provision, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or scope of such provision, then the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. In the case that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Award shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Award and this Award shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Exhibit A
2020 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN OF AMETEK, INC.
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
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, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024.
Calculating ROTC. Annual ROTC is calculated by dividing EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), and adjusting for certain non-GAAP charges (i.e., realignment costs), charitable donations 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, less other intangibles, net and less right of use asset), less net current liabilities (current liabilities, less short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt, and short-term leases).
The Compensation Committee will make adjustments, on a case-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 | ||||
| < 65% | 0% | ||||
65% | 50% | ||||

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 65%. 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 | ||||
<30th percentile | 0% | ||||
30th percentile | 50% | ||||
50th percentile | 100% | ||||
>80th percentile | 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.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for Non-U.S. Recipients (the “Agreement”) or in the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan of AMETEK, Inc. (the “Plan”).
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.
Notifications
This Addendum also includes information regarding securities law, exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Recipient should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. 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.

Nature of Grant. The following provision replaces paragraph 13 of the Agreement:
For purposes of the Performance Restricted Stock Units, the Recipient’s Separation from Service shall 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) as of the date that is the earliest of (i) the date of Separation from Service, (ii) the date on which the Recipient receives a notice of Separation from Service, and

The following provisions apply if the Recipient resides in Quebec:
Consent to Receive Information in English. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement, as well as any documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be draw up in English.

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.

The Recipient understands that Data may be transferred to the providers administering the Plan, e.g., Schwab Stock Plan Services, or other administrators that may be engaged by the Company in the future. The Recipient further understands that the Company, the Employer and other subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purpose of the implementation, administration and management of the Recipient’s participation in the Plan. In addition, the Controller may disclose the Recipient’s Data to supervisory authorities, judicial bodies and other parties in accordance with applicable law.

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
nonUS EE Perf RSU NS 2022 Grant Plan: 20UNP3 PRSU-EE-nonUS-2020 Legal Plan NS 3-21-2022 | ||
Page 17 of 30 | ||
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 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 for Tax-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 any Tax-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

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.

In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker or bank) with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Recipient acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Recipient’s annual income tax return. By signing the Declaration K, the Recipient at the same time authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account. A sample of Declaration K can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=42409&newwindow=true.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Recipient establishes an account holding Company Stock or cash outside Denmark, the Recipient must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration.

Terms and Conditions
Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything contrary in the Agreement, the Performance Restricted Stock Units are payable in PRSU Shares only.
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provisions supplement paragraph 9 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to any provision of the Agreement, the Recipient agrees that the Recipient is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HRMC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Recipient also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and, the Employer against any Tax- Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Recipient’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Recipient is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Recipient understands that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Recipient, in case the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, the income tax not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Recipient on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. The Recipient understands that he or she will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from the Recipient at any time by any of the means referred to in paragraph 9 of the Agreement.
Data Protection. The Company and the Employer will at all times, in operating and administering the Plan, be bound by the provisions (as from time to time in force) of the internal code and/or policies that regulate the Company's compliance with applicable data privacy laws and for this purpose, the Recipient has received from the Company or, if different, his Employer, a privacy notice that includes details of how his personal data may be used in connection with the Plan.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and/or the Employer is not processing any personal data of a Recipient on the basis of the consent set out in paragraph 15 of the Agreement.
