Exhibit 10.2
AWARD AGREEMENT
SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES HOLDING N.V. 
(the "Company")
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Date: MM/DD/YY
Issue to:
Name ("Participant")


#,### Performance Restricted Stock Units of the Company (the “Units”).  Each Unit represents the right to potentially receive one Ordinary Share, par value €0.01 per Ordinary Share.
The foregoing Units are "Performance Awards" as such term is defined in the Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan"), and such Performance Awards are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan in effect from time to time, except as otherwise provided herein.  Any capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
The Performance Period for this award is from Insert three year performance period.  Vesting of the Units occurs after three years from the Grant Date, Month Day, Year contingent upon meeting the performance criteria described in the following pages.
The foregoing Units will be subject to performance vesting and will vest only so long as the Participant remains employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries continuously through the third anniversary of the grant date (“Vesting Date”).  In the event of a change in control, the PRSUs will convert to time-based RSUs based on the greater of the target value or the sum of the banked tranches plus one third of the target for those years where banking has not occurred. Vesting of the time-based RSUs will assume the vesting schedule of the original PRSU award. The time-based RSUs as so converted:
		
	•
	Will be accelerated if within the 24 month period following the Change in Control, the recipient is terminated by the Company or the continuing entity without Cause or if the recipient voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason;


		
	•
	Will be accelerated at the Change in Control if awards are not assumed or replaced by the acquirer/continuing entity or terms deemed by the Compensation Committee to be appropriate; and


		
	•
	Will occur on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, if vesting has not otherwise been accelerated as provided above








	
			
	 
	 
	 












The number of Units that will vest and the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Participant on the Vesting Date will be determined based upon the Company’s Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share (“EPS”) at each fiscal year end following the Grant Date (“Performance Year”), then adjusted based on the Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) for the same year, as set forth in the tables below.  
The Units will bank, or accrue as follows:
On the first anniversary of the Grant Date:  Between 0% and 100% of 1/3 of the Units will be banked, or accrued, contingent on attainment of YYYY (“Year 1) EPS and adjusted by the ROIC Performance Multiplier for Year 1, as depicted in the tables below.
On the second anniversary of the Grant Date: Between 0% and 125% of 1/3 of the Units will be banked, or accrued, contingent on attainment of YYYY (“Year 2”) EPS and adjusted by the ROIC Performance Multiplier for Year 2, as depicted in the tables below.
On the third anniversary of the Grant Date: Between 0% and 150% of 1/3 of the Units will be banked, or accrued, contingent on attainment of YYYY (“Year 3”) EPS and adjusted by the ROIC Performance Multiplier for Year 3, as depicted in the tables below.

On the Vesting Date, the greater of the following amounts will become vested and payable:
		
	(1)
	The cumulative number of Units banked, or


		
	(2)
	If EPS exceeds the Adjusted EPS Target and ROIC is 100% of target or greater at the end of year 3, the product of the Units, the Year 3 EPS multiplier and the Year 3 ROIC modifier


The number of Units banked for each Performance Year based on the EPS performance will be interpolated on a straight line basis, and adjusted by the ROIC performance modifier, based on the chart above and rounded to the nearest whole Unit
ROIC = Year End Net Operating Profit After Tax (“NOPAT”)/Total Invested Capital 
NOPAT = Adjusted EBIT minus cash taxes
Total Invested Capital = Average Trailing 5 Quarters of (Shareholder Equity + Total Long Term Debt + Deferred Taxes) minus (Long Term Capital Leases & Other Obligations)
EPS includes the repurchase of ordinary shares, but excludes the results of any acquisitions that close post Q2, in the first year of its acquisition.  For example, if an acquisition closed on October 1, 2016, EPS for 2016 will exclude the results of the acquired business for the period from October 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
If Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Vesting Date set forth above, Participant's unvested Units shall not vest and all Units, including all banked Units, shall be forfeited on the Termination Date.
