EXHIBIT B

PERFORMANCE SHARES

Grant of Performance Shares.  Performance Shares are granted to you subject to the terms of the Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended and restated on 1 October 2014 and as amended from time to time thereafter and the conditions described below. All capitalized terms have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan unless otherwise noted.  The Performance Shares are “Deferred Stock Units” as described in Section 9 of the Plan.  

Payment of Deferred Stock Units.  The Performance Shares granted to you will be earned in accordance with the formula indicated on the attached Earn Out Schedule based on Air Products Relative Total Shareholder Return in relation to the Peer Group over the three fiscal year performance period beginning 1 October 2016 and ending 30 September 2019 (the “Performance Period”).  Subject to the conditions described below, each earned Performance Share will entitle you to receive, at the end of the Deferral Period, one Share. The Deferral Period will begin on the date of this Award Agreement and will end on 1 December 2019.

Performance Shares earned and not forfeited (including in the event of your termination of employment prior to the end of the Deferral Period) shall be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash as determined by the Committee or its delegate, as soon as administratively practical following the end of the Deferral Period (but in no event later than 60 days thereafter).

Dividends. No cash dividends or other amounts shall be payable with respect to the Performance Shares during the Deferral Period.  At the end of the Deferral Period, for each earned Performance Share that has not been forfeited, you will also be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the dividends which would have been paid with respect to a share of Company Common Stock during the Deferral Period (“Dividend Equivalents”).

Termination of Employment. If your employment by the Company and all of its affiliates is terminated for any reason other than by the Company without Cause (“Involuntary Termination”) prior to 1 December 2017, all of your Performance Shares will be automatically forfeited in their entirety.  If your employment by the Company and all its affiliates terminates on or after 1 December 2017, but during the Deferral Period, other than due to death, Disability, Retirement or Involuntary Termination, all of your Performance Shares will be automatically forfeited in their entirety.  

If your employment by the Company and all its affiliates is terminated on or after 1 December 2017, but during the Deferral Period, due to death, Disability, or Retirement, you vest in a pro-rata portion of your earned Performance Shares, based on actual financial performance (which portion in each case shall be based on the number of full months you worked during the Performance Period) and your remaining Performance Shares will be forfeited.  If your employment is terminated at any time during the Deferral Period due to Involuntary Termination and you execute a general release of claims in favor of the Company within 45 days following your termination and in a form satisfactory to the Administrator (a “Release”), you will vest in a pro-rata portion of your earned Performance Shares, based on actual financial performance (which portion shall be based on the number of full months you worked during the Performance Period) and all of your remaining Performance Shares will be forfeited.  If you do not execute a Release, all of your Performance Shares will be automatically forfeited in their entirety.  For purposes of this Paragraph, an Involuntary Termination which is also a Retirement shall be treated as an Involuntary Termination.   

If your employment by the Company and all its affiliates terminates during the Deferral Period due to death, payment in respect of earned Performance Shares that have not been forfeited and of related Dividend Equivalents shall be made, as soon as practical after the end of the Deferral Period (but in no event later than 60 days thereafter), to your Designated Beneficiary or, if none, your legal representative.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if your employment by the Company and its affiliates is terminated and such termination constitutes a “Termination of Employment” within the meaning of the Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Executive Separation Program (the “Program”) and the Administrator of the Program determines you are entitled to the benefits of the Program, your outstanding Awards under this Agreement shall be treated in accordance with the Program.

Recoupment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any Performance Shares earned or paid and any related Dividend Equivalents paid to you may be recouped by the Company within three years of their payment in the event that: (i) the earning of  such Performance Shares is predicated upon the achievement of financial results that are subsequently the subject of a restatement; (ii) the Committee determines in its sole discretion that you engaged in misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement; and (iii) the Performance Shares would not have been earned or a lesser amount 

of Performance Shares would have been earned based upon the restated financial results.  In the event of any such recoupment, you shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of any recouped payment, in such manner and on such terms as may be required, and the Company shall be entitled to reduce any amount owed to you by the Company or any Subsidiary by such gain or payment.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Award Agreement, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to its material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement, the Company may recover from you any amounts or awards which it is required to recover under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other applicable law or securities exchange listing standard.

Taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all Awards hereunder paid or any payment in respect of an Award, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required or permitted by law to be withheld. In the case of a payment in respect of Performance Shares made in Common Stock, the Company shall reduce number of the shares of Common Stock to be distributed by an amount with a value equal to the value of such taxes required or permitted to be withheld.

Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the occurrence of certain other events as described in Section 13 of the Plan, an equitable adjustment of the number of Performance Shares covered by this Award Agreement shall be made as provided in the Plan.  

Addendum

FY2017-2019 Performance Share Earn Out Schedule

		
	1.
	Performance Shares Earned.  For the avoidance of doubt, capitalized terms that are otherwise not defined in this Addendum will have the same definition as in the Award Agreement.  The number of Performance Shares earned will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

(PERFORMANCE SHARES AWARDED) x (PAYOUT FACTOR) =
(PERFORMANCE SHARES EARNED)

		
	2.
	Payout Factor.  The Payout Factor is based on the Company’s TSR Percentile Rank among the Peer Group for the Performance Period.  The Initial Payout Factor is determined in accordance with the following schedule:

	
		
	Company’s TSR Percentile Rank
	Initial Payout Factor

	> 75th %ile
	200%

	> 50th %ile
	100%

	> 30th %ile
	30%

	< 30th %ile
	0%

The Initial Payout Factor will be interpolated for TSR Percentile Rank between discrete points, from a minimum Initial Payout Factor of 30 percentage points to a maximum Initial Payout Factor of 200 percentage points.

The Initial Payout Factor will be increased by 15 percentage points to determine the Maximum Payout Factor, but in no event will the Maximum Payout Factor exceed 215 percentage points.  The Committee, in its discretion, may decrease the Maximum Payout Factor by up to 30 percentage points (15 percentage points from the Initial Payout Factor) to determine the Actual Payout Factor.  The Committee, in its discretion, may adjust the amount of any individual’s payout, but it may not exceed the Maximum Payout Factor.

		
	3.
	Definitions.  

“Beginning Price” means, with respect to the Company’s and any other Peer Group member’s common stock, the average of the closing sale prices of a share of such common stock on the principal exchange on which such stock is traded for the thirty (30) calendar days preceding the first day of the of the Performance Period.  

“Ending Price” means, with respect to the Company’s and any other Peer Group member’s common stock, the average of the closing sale prices of a share of such company’s common stock on the principal exchange on which such stock is traded for thirty (30) calendar days ending with the last day of the Performance Period.  

The “Peer Group” shall be the following companies:

	
		
	Celanese Corp.
	Ingersoll-Rand, Plc

	Danaher Corp.
	Illinois Tool Works, Inc.

	Dover Corp.
	Parker-Hannifin Corp.

	DuPont (E.I.) De Nemours & Co.
	PPG Industries Inc.

	Eastman Chemical Co.
	Praxair, Inc.

	Eaton Corp.
	Rockwell Automation, Inc.

	Ecolab Inc.
	TE Connectivity, Ltd.

	Huntsman Corp.
	 

The Peer Group may be modified by the Committee in the event of the merger, acquisition or bankruptcy of a Peer Group member.  The Peer Group may also be modified by the Committee in connection with a corporate transaction of the Company. 

“Total Shareholder Return” or “TSR” shall be the percent increase/decrease in value that would be experienced from purchasing a share of the Company’s or a Peer Group member’s common stock at the Beginning Price and holding it for the Performance Period and selling at the Ending Price of such a share, assuming that dividends and other distributions are reinvested in additional shares of such stock at the closing market price on the ex-dividend date.  Any non-cash distributions shall be valued at market value that shall be determined by the Committee.  

“TSR Rank” means the ranking of the Company’s TSR among the TSRs for the Peer Group members for the Performance Period.  TSR Rank is determined by ordering the Peer Group members and the Company from highest to lowest based on TSR for the Performance Period and counting down from the company with the highest TSR (ranked first) to the Company’s position on the list.  If two companies are ranked equally, the ranking of the next company shall account for the tie, so that if one company is ranked first, and two companies are tied for second, the next company is ranked fourth.  In the event of any ambiguity, the determination of the Committee shall be final and binding.

		
	4.
	TSR Percentile Rank. The TSR Percentile Rank will be determined as follows:

The nth ranked company out of the N companies (including Air Products) would have the following TSR Percentile Rank

TSR Percentile Rank = 	
	
	(N-n)

	(N-1)

That is, if Air Products ranked 5th out of 16 companies, its TSR Percentile Rank would be 73.3% ((16-5)/(16-1)), which would give an Initial Payout Factor of 193.3%.Exhibit
