TGH 9.30 Exhibit 10.2 P-Shares Agreement

Effective as of <<GRANT DATE>>, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants a performance unit award with a grant date fair value of $$<<GRANT DATE FAIR VALUE>> (the “Award”) to <<FIRST NAME>> <<LAST NAME>> (the “Holder”), with the value set forth in this sentence being the “Target Award.” The number of performance units subject to the Target Award shall be determined by dividing the Target Award by the fair market value per performance unit as reported to the Company by a third party valuation firm after completing a Monte Carlo valuation simulation. Performance units are notional units of measurement denominated in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Stock”) (i.e., one performance unit is equivalent in value to one share of Stock). The actual number of shares of Stock which may be earned in settlement of this performance unit award is dependent upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein.

2. Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Award unless and until, and only to the extent, such shares become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the Holder becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such shares. As of each date on which the Company pays a cash dividend to record owners of shares of Stock (a “Dividend Date”), then the number of shares subject to the Award shall increase by (a) the product of the total number of shares subject to the Award immediately prior to such Dividend Date multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock by the Company on such Dividend Date, divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such Dividend Date. Any such additional shares shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and payment terms set forth herein as the shares to which they relate.

3.1. Performance-Based Vesting Condition. The Award shall vest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 below) and the Plan and based on the achievement of the performance goal (the “Performance Goal”) during the <<TIME PERIOD>> performance period (the “Performance Period”), each as described below, provided that that the Holder remains in continuous employment with the Company Group through the Restriction Period (as defined below).

For the purposes of this Award, the Index shall include all of the companies which are listed on the Index on the Grant Date and which remain listed on the Index on last day of the Performance Period. Companies added or removed as a result of a subsequent reconstitution of the Index will not be included. If the Index is discontinued, it shall be deemed to consist of the companies that are listed on the Index on the Grant Date and that remain listed on the Index immediately prior to the date of discontinuance, provided that the TSR shall continue to be measured through the full Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a bankruptcy of a company included in the Index, such company shall remain in the Index with a TSR of negative 100%.

The Company’s TSR shall be determined by comparing the twenty (20) consecutive trading day average Closing Price (as defined below) prior to the first day of the Performance Period versus the twenty (20) consecutive trading day average Closing Price ending on the last day of the Performance Period. The TSR of each company included in the Index shall be calculated in the same manner and ranked from highest to lowest (the “Ranked Index”). For purposes of this Award, the closing price (the “Closing Price”) shall be the dividend adjusted day close price as reported by S&P Capital IQ (or any other reporting service that the Compensation Committee may designate from time to time). Further, for purposes of this Award, the dividend adjusted day close price reported by S&P Capital IQ is the relevant security’s market closing price, as adjusted for stock splits, cash dividends, rights offerings and spin-offs.

(c) The payout shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis if the Company’s TSR falls between the Target and Maximum performance levels. The TSR percentile and the payout percentage shall each be rounded to two decimal places. If the calculated payout would result in a fractional security, the shares of Stock being subject to the Award shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. A sample payout scale is included hereto as Exhibit A.

3.2. Service-Based Vesting Condition. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3 and only to the extent the Performance Goal is achieved as of <<DATE>> in accordance with Section 3.1, <<PERCENTAGE>> of the Award shall vest only if the Holder remains continuously employed by the Company Group through <<DATE>> and <<PERCENTAGE>> of the Award shall vest only if the Holder remains continuously employed by the Company Group through <<DATE>>, (collectively, the “Service Vesting Dates”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Award be earned or shares of Stock delivered to Holder in settlement of the Award prior to the conclusion of the full <<TIME PERIOD>> Performance Period, except as may be provided in the Plan or in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 herein. The period of time prior to the Service Vesting Dates shall be referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”

(a) Termination of Employment by the Company Group Other than for Cause or due to death or Disability. If the Holder’s employment is terminated during the Performance Period by reason of (i) the Company Group’s termination of the Holder’s employment other than for Cause or (ii) the Holder’s death or Disability, and the Holder is a party to an employment or other similar agreement that sets forth the treatment of a performance vesting award upon such a termination of employment, then the treatment of this Award will be as set forth in such employment or other similar agreement.

If the Holder’s employment is terminated during the Performance Period by reason of (i) the Company Group’s termination of the Holder’s employment other than for Cause or (ii) the Holder’s death or Disability and the Holder is not a party to an employment or other similar agreement or is a party to an employment or other similar agreement that does not set forth the treatment of a performance vesting award upon such a termination, then the treatment of this Award will be as follows: the number of shares of Stock subject to this Award shall be earned in accordance with Section 3.1, based on the achievement of the Performance Goal at the end of the Performance Period, and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4; provided, however, the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award that are earned and delivered to the Holder shall be prorated based on the number of whole months that the Holder was employed by the Company Group during the Performance Period.

(b) Termination of Employment by the Company Group for Cause or by the Holder. If the Holder’s employment with the Company Group terminates prior to the end of the Restriction Period by reason of (i) the Company Group’s termination of the Holder’s employment for Cause or (ii) the Holder’s resignation from employment for any reason, then the portion of the Award that was not vested immediately prior to such termination of employment shall be immediately forfeited by the Holder and cancelled by the Company Group.

(d) Cause. For purposes of this Award, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Holder and the Company Group, provided that if Holder is not a party to an employment agreement that contains such definition, then “Cause” shall mean any of the following, as reasonably determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”): (i) the prosecution via information or indictment, or, if Holder has waived any requirement of prosecution by indictment, the charge, of Holder for a felony; (ii) the theft, conversion, embezzlement or

misappropriation by Holder of funds or other assets of the Company Group or any other act of fraud or dishonesty with respect to the Company Group (including acceptance of any bribes or kickbacks or other acts of self-dealing); (iii) the intentional, grossly negligent or unlawful misconduct by Holder, but only to the extent that such actions or inactions (a) actually cause material and significant harm to the Company Group; and (b) were engaged in by the Holder with knowledge that they would cause material and significant harm to the Company Group; (iv) the violation by Holder of any law regarding employment discrimination or sexual harassment; (v) the failure by Holder to comply with any material policy generally applicable to Company Group employees, which failure is not cured in all material respects within 30 days after notice to Holder; (vi) the repeated failure by Holder to follow the reasonable directives of any supervisor or the Board, which failure is not cured in all material respects within 30 days after notice to Holder; (vii) the unauthorized dissemination by Holder of confidential information in violation of any agreement between the Company Group and Holder; (viii) any material misrepresentation or materially misleading omission in any resume or other information regarding Holder (including Holder’s work experience, academic credentials, professional affiliations or absence of criminal record) provided by or on behalf of Holder when applying for employment with the Company Group; (ix) the Company Group’s discovery that, prior to Holder’s employment with the Company Group, Holder engaged in conduct of the type described in clauses (i) through (iv) above (it being understood that, in the case of clause (iii) above, such harm having impacted Holder’s prior employer or the Company Group); or (x) any other material breach by Holder of this Agreement that is not cured within 30 days after notice to Holder.

4. Delivery of Certificates. Subject to Section 7 and except as otherwise provided for in Section 3, as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Performance Period, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates issued in the Holder’s name (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Holder) representing the number of vested shares; provided, however, any vested shares of Stock shall be settled no later than 60 days following the completion of the applicable Performance Period. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 7. Prior to the issuance to the Holder of the shares of Stock subject to the Award, the Holder shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or in such shares of Stock, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

5.1. Nontransferability of Award. The Award may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to the designation of one or more beneficiaries on the form prescribed by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Award, the Award and all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void.

5.2. Investment Representation. The Holder hereby represents and covenants that (a) any share of Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Award will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless such acquisition has been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws; (b) any subsequent sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Holder shall submit a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true and correct as of the date of vesting of any shares of Stock hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such share, as applicable. As a further

6.1. Confidential Information. The Company Group’s employment of Holder has resulted and will result in Holder’s exposure and access to confidential and proprietary information, including the Company Group’s formulas, processes, administration and accounting systems, computer software, customer lists, vendor lists, due diligence files, financial information, technology, business strategies, business track record, and personal information about the Company Group’s owners, directors, officers, and employees which Holder did not have access to prior to his or her employment with the Company Group and which information is of great value to the Company Group, their owners, directors, officers, and employees. Holder shall not, other than on the Company Group’s behalf, at any time during Holder’s employment with the Company Group and thereafter, make available, divulge, disclose, or communicate in any manner whatsoever to anyone including, but not limited to, any person, firm, corporation, investor, member of the media, or entity, any such confidential or proprietary information, or use any such confidential or proprietary information for any purpose other than on the Company Group’s behalf, unless authorized to do so in writing by the Chairman of the Board, required by law or court order, or such information has become publicly available other than by reason of a breach by Holder of this Section 6.1 or of another individual’s or entity’s violation of an obligation not to disclose such information, which obligation is known to Holder. Should Holder be required by law or court order to disclose such confidential or proprietary information, Holder shall give the Chairman of the Board reasonable notice so as to allow the Company Group sufficient opportunity to challenge such application of the law or court order, or to otherwise attempt to limit the scope of such disclosure. This Agreement applies to all confidential and proprietary information of the Company Group, regardless of when such information is or was disclosed to Holder.

(a) Engage in any capacity in the Business in the continental United States or in any other geographic area where the Company Group manufactures, markets, distributes or sells its products or renders services within the twenty-four (24) month period ending on the last day on which Holder is in the employment of the Company Group or otherwise actively involved in the operation or management of the Business (the “Termination Date”), including as an owner, employee, partner, investor, or independent contractor, provided that nothing in this Section 6.2(a) shall prevent Holder from owning less than five percent (5%) of any class of publicly traded securities of any such business so long as such investment is passive and Holder has no other involvement with the issuer of such securities

(c) Solicit any customer or potential customer of the Company Group with respect to the Business.

6.4. Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Other Property Rights. Any and all inventions, improvements, discoveries, formulas, technology, business strategies, management, administration, and accounting systems, processes, and computer software relating to the Company Group’s business (whether or not patentable), discovered, developed, or learned by Holder during his or her employment with the Company Group are the sole and absolute property of the Company Group and are “works made for hire” as that term is defined in the copyright laws of the United States. The Company Group is the sole and absolute owner of all patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other property rights to those items and Holder will fully assist the Company Group, at the Company Group’s cost and expense, to obtain the patents, copyrights, trademarks, or other property rights to all such inventions, improvements, discoveries, formulas, technology, business strategies, management, administration, and accounting systems, processes, or computer software. Holder has been notified by the Company Group and understands that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 do not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of the Company Group was used and which was developed entirely on Holder’s own time, unless the invention: (a) relates directly to the business of the Company Group; (b) relates directly to the Company Group’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, or (c) results from any work performed by Holder for the Company Group.

6.5. Scope of Covenants. Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and the territorial, time, activity and other limitations set forth in this Section 6 (or the lack thereof, as the case may be) are commercially reasonable and are properly required to protect the Company Group and its members’ respective businesses. If any such territorial, time or activity limitation (or the lack thereof) is determined to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable by a court or other tribunal or competent jurisdiction, the parties agree to the reduction of such territorial, time or activity limitations (including the imposition of such a limitation if it is missing) to such an area, period, scope of activity or other limitation as said court or other tribunal shall deem reasonable and enforceable under the circumstances. Also, if any member of the Company Group seeks partial enforcement of this Section 6 as to only a territory, time, scope of activity or other limitation that is reasonable, then such member of the Company Group shall be entitled to such reasonable partial enforcement. If such reduction or (if any member of the Company Group seeks partial enforcement) such partial enforcement is not possible, or if a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction declines for any or no reason to grant such reduction or partial enforcement, as applicable, then the unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be severed as provided in Section 7.11, without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

6.7. Business. For purposes of this Section 6, “Business” shall mean the business activities conducted by or planned to be undertaken by the Company Group while Holder is a holder of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award or while Holder is employed by the Company Group, including any business involving the design, engineering, manufacture or sale of heat tracing systems (for example, products involving the application of external heat to pipes, vessels, instruments or other equipment for the purposes of freeze protection, process temperature maintenance, environmental monitoring or surface snow and ice melting, heat tracing equipment, heat tracing tubing bundles, and heat tracing control systems), heat tracing system consultation, heat tracing system installation, heat tracing

7.1. Withholding Taxes. (a) As a condition precedent to the delivery of the Stock upon the vesting of the Award, the Holder shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If the Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder.

(b) The Holder may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: (i) a cash payment to the Company, (ii) delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously owned whole shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments, (iii) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Stock which would otherwise be delivered to the Holder having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii) and (iii). Shares of Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments. Any fraction of a share of Stock which would be required to satisfy any such obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the Holder. No certificate representing a share of Stock shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

7.2. Adjustment. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the number and class of securities subject to the Award shall be equitably adjusted by the Board. If any adjustment would result in a fractional security being subject to the Award, the Company shall pay the Holder in connection with the first vesting, in whole or in part, occurring after such adjustment, an amount in cash determined by multiplying such fraction (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by the Fair Market Value of such security on the vesting date as determined by the Board. The decision of the Board regarding any such adjustment and the Fair Market Value of any fractional security shall be final, binding and conclusive.

7.3. Recoupment; Compensation Subject to Recovery. The Holder acknowledges that he or she has read the Company’s Policy on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”). In consideration of the grant of the Award, the Holder agrees to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy and any determinations of the Board or the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Clawback Policy or any similar clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time to the extent the Board determines in good faith that the adoption and maintenance of such policy is necessary to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or is otherwise required by applicable law. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Award received by the Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to the Clawback Policy or any such other clawback or recoupment policy. This Section 7.3 shall survive the termination of the Holder’s employment for any reason. The foregoing remedy is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to the Holder’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board or the Compensation Committee with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Holder and all persons claiming through the Holder.

7.4. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Award shall not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action.

7.5. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A, or in the alternative to comply with Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Holder on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

7.6. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. In no event shall the granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Holder, or any provision of the Agreement or the Plan, give or be deemed to give the Holder any right to continued employment by the Company, Group or any affiliate of the Company or affect in any manner the right of the Company, any Subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company to terminate the employment of any person at any time.

7.9. Notices. All notices, requests or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be made, if to the Company, to Thermon Group Holdings, Inc., Attn: Chief Financial Officer, 100 Thermon Drive, San Marcos, Texas 78666, and if to the Holder, to the last known mailing address of the Holder contained in the records of the Company. All notices, requests or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be made in writing either (a) by personal delivery, (b) by facsimile or electronic mail with confirmation of receipt, (c) by mailing in the United States mails or (d) by express courier service. The notice, request or other communication shall be deemed to be received upon personal delivery, upon confirmation of receipt of facsimile or electronic mail transmission or upon receipt by the party entitled thereto if by United States mail or express courier service; provided, however, that if a notice, request or other communication sent to the Company is not received during regular business hours, it shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding business day of the Company.
