The parties to this Global Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any additional terms and conditions for the jurisdictions in the appendix hereto (the “Appendix” and collectively with this Global Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, the “Agreement”) are Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Executive named at the top of the Agreement (the “Executive”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which is administered by the Personnel and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Executive is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (the "Employer"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 9 of the Plan, the Committee has determined to grant to the Executive an Award of Restricted Stock Units as provided herein (the “Award”) to encourage the Executive’s efforts toward the continuing long-term success of the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, by their electronic acceptance or authentication in a form authorized by the Company, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
1.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Effective as of the Date of Xxxxx set forth at the top of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Executive, an Award of Restricted Stock Units in an amount as set forth at the top of this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Award shall be subject to the Executive providing evidence of the Executive’s acceptance of this Agreement (or the Executive’s estate, if applicable) to the Company. Subject to Section 1.4 of this Agreement, each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 1.5 hereof.
(b) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance and consistent with, and is subject to, the provisions of the Plan (the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by
Exhibit 10.1
reference), as well as any and all determinations, policies, instructions, interpretations, rules, etc., of the Committee in connection with the Plan, including the Administrative Rules adopted with respect to the restricted stock and restricted stock unit program (the “Rules”). The Company reserves the right to amend the Plan and any Rules at any time in its sole discretion, subject to the approval of the Committee. The Executive hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, whether or not such provisions are agreed to in writing or acknowledged electronically by the Executive or the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive will be deemed to accept such terms unless the Executive affirmatively rejects the grant of Restricted Stock Units, in which case the Award will be cancelled.
1.2 Restrictions.
The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and may not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated except as specifically provided hereunder or pursuant to the Plan. Any attempt to dispose of Restricted Stock Units or any interest therein in a manner contrary to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan shall be null, void and ineffective.
1.3 Vesting.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, 100% of the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Award shall vest on [insert vesting date].
(b) Notwithstanding Section 1.3(a) above, vesting shall be subject to the performance criteria as set forth on Annex A.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 1.3(a) or (b) above, if during the applicable Performance Cycle, (i) the Executive’s employment with the Employer terminates for any reason, whether the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive or the Employer, with or without just cause, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 1.3(d), (ii) there occurs a material breach of this Agreement by the Executive or (iii) the Executive fails to meet the tax withholding obligations described in Paragraph 1.6, none of the unvested Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement shall vest. For clarity, for purposes of this Agreement, the date of such termination or cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Employer will be determined in accordance with Section 10(k) hereof.
(d) If, during the applicable Performance Cycle, the Executive’s employment with the Employer terminates due to the Executive’s death, disability (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) or retirement pursuant to the applicable retirement policy (if any) of the Employer or the Company (as applicable) prior to the expiration of the Performance Cycle, the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiaries) shall continue to hold the Restricted Stock Units through the expiration of the Performance Cycle. At that time, a portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest equal to (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have otherwise vested under Section 1.3 had the Executive remained employed by the Employer through the end of the Performance Cycle multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months during which the Executive was employed by the Employer from the beginning of the Performance Cycle until the date of the Executive’s termination of employment and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Cycle (any fractional share of Common Stock resulting from this calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share).
Exhibit 10.1
(e) For purposes of this Section 1.3 only, “Employer” shall mean, in addition to the Company or Subsidiary which employs Executive on the date hereof, the Company and any Subsidiary.
1.4 Forfeiture of Award
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all Restricted Stock Units that do not vest in accordance with Section 1.3 shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.
1.5 Satisfaction of Award
(a) In order to satisfy Restricted Stock Units upon the vesting of any portion of the Award pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Executive the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, subject to any applicable withholding of Tax-Related Items.
(b) The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company at any particular time pursuant to this Agreement shall correspond to the number of Restricted Stock Units that become vested on the vesting date, with one (1) Restricted Stock Unit corresponding to one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to any withholding of Tax-Related Items as may be required under this Agreement, notwithstanding any delay between the vesting date and the settlement date. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued and will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The number and kind of shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other change in capitalization with a similar substantive effect upon each Restricted Stock Unit or the shares issuable in satisfaction of each Restricted Stock Unit. Until such time as shares of Common Stock are issued in satisfaction of a Restricted Stock Unit, as provided hereunder, the Executive shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares as to which the Restricted Stock Unit relates.
(c) The Company will satisfy its obligations to deliver Common Stock under this Agreement on the applicable vesting date hereunder or as soon as administratively practicable but no later than thirty (30) days after such vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Restricted Stock Units that become vested (other than as a result of the Executive’s death), if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code as of the date upon which the Executive’s employment with the Employer terminates and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then the Company shall satisfy its obligations to deliver Common Stock under this Agreement by the later of (i) the date otherwise required by this Agreement or (ii) the first business day of the calendar month following the date which is six (6) months after the date upon which the Executive incurs a ”separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
1.6 Withholding/Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)Regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax (including, without limitation, foreign, federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or any other tax-related items related to the Executive’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Executive’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Executive further
Exhibit 10.1
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 Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the conversion of the Restricted Stock Units into shares of Common Stock or the receipt of a cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Executive’s liability for the Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Executive is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Executive acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Executive agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any withholding obligations the Company or the Employer may have for Tax-Related Items. To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to Tax-Related Items, the Company or the Employer will generally withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to the Executive having an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to cover the withholding obligation for Tax Related Items. Alternatively, or in addition, the Executive authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, as applicable, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i)withholding from the Executive’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Executive by the Company and/or the Employer, including from any equivalent cash payment received upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units;
(ii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on the Executive’s behalf and without further consent;
(iii)requiring the Executive to tender a cash payment to the Company or the Employer; or
(iv)any other method acceptable to the Company and permitted under the Plan and applicable law;
provided, however, that if the Executive is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to the Executive as provided above in this Section 1.6(b), unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee.
(a)The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates applicable in the Executive’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Executive may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Common Stock), or if not refunded, the Executive may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Executive may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Executive will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Exhibit 10.1
The Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the Executive if the Executive fails to comply with Executive’s obligations for Tax-Related Items.
1.7 Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company during the Performance Cycle, all of the Restricted Stock Units (not otherwise forfeited prior to the Change in Control) shall immediately vest.
1.8 Committee’s Discretion. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have discretion to adjust the Performance Cycle or waive any restrictions or conditions with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units at any time.
1.9 Defined Terms. Except as expressly elsewhere in this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the capitalized terms set forth below shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Fair Market Value” means, on any date, the closing sales price of a share of Common Stock, as reported on the Composite Tape for the New York Stock Exchange Listed Companies on such date or, if there were no sales on such date, on the last date preceding such date on which a sale was reported.
(b) “Performance Cycle” shall specifically refer to the period commencing [insert start date] through [insert end date], including any adjustments to such Cycle made by the Committee.

(b) Data Collection and Usage. The Company and its Subsidiaries may collect, process and use the Executive’s personal data, including but not limited to, the Executive’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), any shares of Common Stock held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, details of all rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Executive’s favor, which the Company receives from the Executive or the Employer, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (the “Data”). The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Data is the Executive’s consent.
(c) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company and its Subsidiaries may transfer Data to Fidelity Investments (Fidelity), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Data with another company that serves in a similar manner.

Exhibit 10.1
may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Executive’s country, and/or (vii) review a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data.

and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the Compensation Recoupment Policy or any other applicable recoupment obligation.
Exhibit 10.1
Annex A
Performance Vesting Criteria
Except as otherwise provided int the Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units will vest only in the event, and to the extent, that the Committee determines and certifies that the Company has met the following total shareholder return performance criteria for the Performance Cycle. THE DETERMINATION OF THE COMMITTEE AS TO TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE AND THE NUMBER OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS THAT VEST IS FINAL AND BINDING.
•The percentage of the Restricted Stock Units that vest will be determined as follows, based on the percentile ranking for the Performance Cycle (as measured based on the twenty-day average closing stock price immediately preceding the start of the Performance Cycle compared to the twenty-day average closing stock price immediately preceding the end of the Performance Cycle) of the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (consisting of per share appreciation in Common Stock plus reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on Common Stock) among the companies (ranked by cumulative total shareholder returns consisting of per share appreciation in each company’s equity plus reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on equity) in the S&P 500 Index, as determined and certified by the Committee, subject to adjustment as described below. For the avoidance of doubt, the twenty-day average preceding the beginning of the performance period shall be based on the twenty trading days prior to and excluding the first day of the Performance Cycle and the twenty-day average preceding the end of the Performance Cycle shall be based on the twenty trading days prior to and including the last trading day of the Performance Cycle.
| Company Total Shareholder Return Percentile Ranking | Percentage of Restricted Stock Units that Vest | ||||
50th | 100% | ||||
25th | 50% | ||||
Below 25th | 0% | ||||
If the percentile ranking does not equal a ranking shown in the above table, the percentage of the Restricted Stock Units that vest will be determined by a linear interpolation between the next lowest percentile shown in the table and the next highest percentile shown on the table.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS
FOR NON-U.S. EXECUTIVES
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes different or additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Executive under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Executive is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Executive is currently residing and/or working, or if the Executive relocates to another country after the Award is granted, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Executive.
Notifications
This Appendix may also include information regarding securities, exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Executive 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 [insert date]. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Executive not rely on the information in this Appendix 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 at the time the Executive vests in the Restricted Stock Units or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Executive’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Executive of a particular result. Accordingly, the Executive should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Executive’s individual situation.
Finally, if the Executive is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Executive is currently residing and/or working, or if the Executive relocates to another country after the Award is granted, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Executive in the same manner.
