Ladies and Gentlemen: 
Reference is made to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Tenneco Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc., a Delaware corporation and a Subsidiary of the Company, any other Subsidiary Borrowers (as defined therein) from time to time parties thereto, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the other financial institutions named therein as agents for the Lenders. Unless otherwise defined in this letter agreement (this “Letter”) or the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms which are defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
Pursuant to Section 6.2(g) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are required to deliver quarterly projections of the Company for each fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2018 on or before December 31, 2017.  The Borrowers have notified the Administrative Agent that such projections could not be delivered on or before December 31, 2017 because the Company’s year-end results for fiscal year 2017 (including the final fiscal quarter thereof) are needed to prepare such projections and such year-end results were not available on or before December 31, 2017 and are not required to be delivered until March 31, 2018 pursuant to Section 6.1(a) of the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 10.1(e) of the Credit Agreement, which allows for ambiguities, inconsistencies and defects or other typographical or manifest errors to be corrected, the Borrowers have requested, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, that the reference to “December 31, 2017” in Section 6.2(g) of the Credit Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with “March 31, 2018” and that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred as a result of such non-compliance with Section 6.2(g) of the Credit Agreement prior to the date hereof.  The modifications contained in this paragraph shall be limited precisely as written and relate solely to the applicable sections of the Credit Agreement in the manner and to the extent described above.
Pursuant to Section 10.1(e) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent hereby provide written notice to the Lenders that the Credit Agreement is hereby modified as provided in this Letter in order to correct, amend or cure an inconsistency, defect or other manifest error in 

the Credit Agreement.  The modifications contained in this Letter shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the first date a draft of this Letter is posted or otherwise provided for review by the Lenders.  
This Letter shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement not expressly referred to herein and shall not be construed as a waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of the Borrowers that would require a waiver or consent of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.  Except as expressly modified hereby, the provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect.  On and after the effective date of the modifications contained in this Letter, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof”, or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Letter.
THIS LETTER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.16 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTION WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
This Letter may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts (including telecopied and electronic counterparts), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. If any provision of this Letter shall be determined to be illegal or invalid as to one or more of the parties hereto, then such provision shall remain in effect with respect to all parties, if any, as to whom such provision is neither illegal nor invalid, and in any event all other provisions hereof shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Letter to be duly executed and delivered by their respective proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 

OF 
 AMETEK, INC. 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), made as of the Award Date, by and between AMETEK, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the Recipient. 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 2011 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 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), to such key employees and
Directors of the Company 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 restricted stock award, subject to the terms, conditions and
restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement; 
 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: 

FIRST:    Pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient on the Award Date a Restricted Stock
Award, and such Shares, the “Restricted Shares”, are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. On the Award Date, the Company shall issue one or more certificates in the name of the
Recipient for the number of Shares granted as per this Agreement and as recorded in AMETEK’s stock

administrator’s system, and such Shares shall be held by the transfer agent until such time as the Shares become nonforfeitable. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement
shall have the same meanings as defined in the Plan. 
 SECOND:    The Restricted Shares shall become
nonforfeitable on the earliest to occur of: 
  

	 	(a)	the second anniversary of the Award Date if the Recipient is in the continuous service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any successor or affiliate of the Company) through such second anniversary
date; 

  

	 	(b)	the death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Recipient; 

  

	 	(c)	the Recipient’s Separation from Service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any successor or affiliate of the Company) in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan); or

  

	 	(d)	the fair market value of a share of Company Stock equaling or exceeding a target price (the “Target Price”) of 200% of the closing price of a share of Company Stock on the Award Date on the New York Stock
Exchange, on each of five consecutive trading days (the “Performance Criteria”) occurring during the period beginning on the day after the Award Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Award Date. In the event that the Performance
Criteria is met prior to the first anniversary of the Award Date, then the vesting shall be delayed until the first anniversary of the Award Date. For purposes hereof, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the fair market value of a share
of Company Stock on any given day shall be the closing price on that day on the stock exchange or market on which the shares of Company Stock are primarily traded. 

Except to the extent, if any, that the Restricted Shares shall have become nonforfeitable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph SECOND, if
the Recipient shall voluntarily or involuntarily leave the service of the Company and its affiliates prior to the second anniversary of the Award Date, the Restricted Shares (and any dividends, distributions and adjustments retained by the Company
with respect thereto) shall be forfeited. 

  
 Page 2 of 6 

 THIRD:     The Recipient shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, “transfer”) any Restricted Shares, or any interest therein. The Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any of the Restricted
Shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan or (b) to treat as owner of such Shares or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom any such Shares shall have been
sold or transferred. Each certificate representing ownership of Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall, prior to the expiration or lapse of all restrictions or conditions on such Shares under this Agreement, have affixed thereto, in
addition to any legends required under the Plan or under federal or state securities laws, a legend in substantially the following form: 

“Transfer of the securities is restricted by that certain restricted stock agreement dated as of the Award Date, between AMETEK, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and the registered holder hereof, and certain terms of the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan of AMETEK, Inc., copies of which agreement and plan are on file at the principal corporate offices of AMETEK, Inc.” 

FOURTH:    Prior to the lapse of the restrictions on the transferability of the Restricted Shares, the Recipient
shall have all other rights and privileges of a beneficial and record owner with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive dividends, distributions and adjustments with respect to such Shares;
provided, however, that any dividends, distributions and adjustments with respect to the Restricted Shares, plus interest credited on any such dividends, shall be retained by the Company for the Recipient’s account and for delivery to the
Recipient, together with the stock certificate representing such Shares, only as and when such Restricted Shares have become nonforfeitable, and in no event later than two-and-a-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable. Cash dividends declared on forfeited Shares shall be forfeited as and when such Shares are
forfeited. For purposes of this paragraph FOURTH, interest shall be credited from the 

  
 Page 3 of 6 

 
date a dividend with respect to the Restricted Shares 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. 

FIFTH:    If prior to the expiration or lapse of all of the restrictions and conditions on the Restricted Shares
under this Agreement, there shall be declared and paid a stock dividend upon the Restricted Shares or if the Restricted Shares shall be split up, converted, exchanged, reclassified or in any way substituted for, the Recipient shall receive, subject
to the same restrictions and conditions as the original Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement, the same securities or other property as are received by the holders of the Company’s Shares pursuant to such stock dividend, split up,
conversion, exchange, reclassification or substitution. If the Recipient receives any securities or property of the Company (or any acquiring entity) pursuant to this Paragraph FIFTH, such securities or other property shall thereafter be deemed to
be “Shares” and “Restricted Shares” within the meaning of this Agreement. In the event of any transaction to which this Paragraph FIFTH applies (other than a stock dividend), the Committee (or the Company, if the Committee no
longer exists) shall adjust the Target Price in Paragraph SECOND, subparagraph (d), to take into account the effect of the transaction. 

SIXTH:    If, for any reason with respect to the Restricted Shares (and any dividends, distributions and
adjustments to such Shares), the Company (or any successor or affiliate) shall be required to withhold amounts under applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax laws, rules or regulations, the Company will withhold such number of Restricted
Shares as shall have a Fair Market Value, valued on the date on which such withholding requirement arises, equal to the amount required to be withheld to satisfy the minimum withholding obligations. The Recipient acknowledges that the Recipient has
been informed of the availability of making an election in 

  
 Page 4 of 6 

 
accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code, as amended; that such election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the transfer of Shares to the Recipient; and that
the Recipient is solely responsible for making such election. 
 SEVENTH:    The Company and the Recipient each
hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. 
 EIGHTH:    Any notices or other
communications given in connection with this Agreement 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 EIGHTH. 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. 

NINTH:    This Agreement and the Plan constitute the whole agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
Restricted Stock Award. 
 TENTH:    This Agreement shall not be construed as creating any contract of employment
between the Company and the Recipient. 
 ELEVENTH:    This Agreement 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 heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Recipient.

 TWELFTH:    The Recipient understands that in order to perform its obligations under the Plan or for the
implementation and administration of the Plan, the Company may collect, 

  
 Page 5 of 6 

 
transfer, use, process, or hold certain personal or sensitive data about Recipient. Such data includes, but is not limited to Recipient’s name, nationality, citizenship, work authorization,
date of birth, age, government or tax identification number, passport number, brokerage account information, address, compensation and equity award history, and beneficiaries’ contact information. Recipient explicitly consents to the
collection, transfer (including to third parties in Recipient’s home country or the United States or other countries, such as but not limited to human resources personnel, legal and tax advisors, and brokerage administrators), use, processing,
and holding, electronically or otherwise, of his/her personal information in connection with this or any other equity award. 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. 

THIRTEENTH: This Agreement 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.
