Exhibit 10.15(b)

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT (RSU) AGREEMENT

UNDER THE

ACTUANT CORPORATION 2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

(Officer Grant)

This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Actuant Corporation and the Grantee is effective as of the date set forth in the Plan’s online administrative system. Actuant Corporation and the Grantee hereby agree as follows:

1.    RSU Grant. Actuant Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), hereby grants to the Grantee as of the date set forth in the Plan’s online administrative system that number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Plan’s online administrative system, subject to the restrictions set forth below (“RSUs Awarded”). No stock certificates will be issued with respect to any RSUs Awarded until the date set forth in Paragraph 5, if applicable.

2.    Plan. The RSUs Awarded are granted under and subject to the terms of the Actuant Corporation 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (herein called the “Plan”). In the event of any conflict between any provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. Terms defined in the Plan where used herein shall have the meanings as so defined. Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

3.    Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee shall not receive payments equivalent to dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs Awarded.

4.    Restrictions. Subject to the Grantee’s continued employment with the Company or an affiliate thereof, and except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, the RSUs Awarded shall vest and become nonforfeitable only as set forth in the following table:

Years from Date of Grant		Cumulative Vested Percentage of RSUs Awarded
After One Year		33.3%
After Two Years		66.6%
After Three Years		100.0%

The period of time during which the RSUs Awarded are forfeitable is referred to as the “Restricted Period”. If the Grantee’s employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries terminates during the Restricted Period, the unvested RSUs Awarded shall be forfeited to the Company on the date of such termination, without any further obligations of the Company to the Grantee and all rights of the Grantee with respect to the unvested RSUs Awarded shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Grantee's employment with the Company shall cease because of Grantee’s death, the RSUs Awarded shall immediately become fully vested and nonforfeitable. Further, in the event that the employment of a Grantee ceases because of disability, the Committee or its designee may, in its discretion, determine that the RSUs Awarded, or a portion thereof, shall immediately become fully vested and nonforfeitable.

5.    Distribution of RSUs and Tax Withholding. The gross number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of RSUs Awarded to the Grantee will be distributed to the Grantee as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Restricted Period, and in any event, no later than 2½ months after the end of the calendar year in which the Restricted Period expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the distribution described in the previous sentence may occur after the applicable 2½ month period if the Company reasonably anticipates that making the payment by the end of the applicable 2½ month period would have violated Federal securities laws or other applicable law, in which case, the distribution shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the first date on which the Company anticipates or reasonably should anticipate that making the payment would not cause such violation. For the purposes of the previous sentence, a distribution that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law. If withholding of taxes is not required, none will be taken. If withholding is required, in satisfaction of any withholding obligations under federal, state or local tax laws, the Company may (i) require the Grantee to pay to the Company in cash the entire amount or any portion of any taxes which the Company is required to withhold, (ii) require the Grantee to authorize any properly authorized third-party to sell the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs Awarded having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld, and to remit the proceeds thereof to the Company for payment of the taxes which the Company is required to withhold with respect to the RSUs Awarded, or (iii) reduce the number of shares of Common Stock

distributed to the Grantee by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs awarded having Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld for the payment of the taxes which the Company is required to withhold with respect to the RSUs awarded.  For purposes of administrative ease, the number of shares of any Common Stock sold or withheld may be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share.  The Grantee shall be responsible for any taxes relating to the RSUs Awarded (and the surrender thereof) not satisfied by the methods described above for the Company’s satisfaction of its withholding obligations. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Grantee shall be entitled to elect, in accordance with procedures determined by the Company, the method of satisfying his or her withholding obligations, and, in the event no such election is properly made, the Company shall require the shares to be withheld using the method described in (iii) above.

6.    No Rights as a Stockholder. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect to the RSUs Awarded, including the right to vote and accrue dividends, unless and until the RSUs Awarded have vested, and certificates representing shares of Common Stock earned pursuant to this Award have been issued to the Grantee and properly recorded on the stock records of the Company.

7.    No Rights To Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor the Award shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time.

8.    Changes of Control. If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company occurs when the Grantee is employed by the Company (but after the date of grant and before the end of the Restricted Period), any RSUs Awarded, which, by their terms, were not vested in full prior to the date of such Change in Control shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable upon the Change in Control. Any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to such determination will be made in accordance with the general payment and timing provisions of Paragraph 5.

9.    Special Accelerated Vesting Rule for Corporate Executives. RSUs Awarded to a corporate executive who (a) voluntarily terminates employment after eight years with the Company, (b) provides at least one year advance notice to the Committee of such termination and has such termination accepted by the Committee in its discretion, (c) in fact remains an employee for such period, (d) terminates his employment at the end of the agreed upon period, and (e) is age 60 or older as of or prior to the end of the notice period described in (b), shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable at the end of such one year period if the corporate executive remains an employee of the Company for the entire one year period (to the extent such RSUs have not otherwise previously become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Paragraph 4 or 8). For purposes of distribution pursuant to Paragraph 5, the Restricted Period of any RSUs that become vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to this Paragraph shall end at the end of the one year period described in the previous sentence (if the requirements of the previous sentence are met).

10.    Compensation Recovery. This Award shall be subject to recovery by the Company under its Compensation Recoupment Policy or any similar policy the Company may adopt or amend from time to time.

11.     Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Code Section 409A. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A or an exemption therefrom. Should any provision of this Agreement be found not to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, the provisions of Code Section 409A, such provision shall be modified and given effect (retroactively if necessary), in the sole discretion of the Committee, and without the consent of the Grantee, in such manner as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with, or to effectuate an exemption from, Code Section 409A. If any of the payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A and the Company determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service, then each such payment will not be made or commence until the date which is the first day of the seventh month after the Employee’s separation from service, and any payments that otherwise would have been paid during the first six months after the Employee’s separation from service will be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the Employee’s separation from service or upon the Employee’s death, if earlier. Such deferral will be effected only to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to the Employee under Code Section 409A.

12.    Transferability of Award. Prior to distribution, RSUs Awarded may not be transferred or encumbered by the Grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

13.    Prohibition Against Pledge, Attachment, etc. Except as otherwise herein provided, this Award and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by Grantee in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

14.    Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary, and any notice to be given to the Grantee may be addressed to him/her at his/her address as it appears on

the Company's records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, and deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail or sent via electronic means (fax or e-mail).

15.    Wisconsin Contract. This Award has been granted in Wisconsin and shall be construed under the laws of that state.

16.    Agreement Barring Unfair Activities. As a condition of participating in the Plan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Grantee agrees to comply with the terms of the “Stock Award Agreement Barring Unfair Activities” attached to this Agreement as Appendix A. Grantee understands that Grantee’s employment or continued employment with the Company is not contingent upon entering into this Agreement or participation in the Plan and Grantee has voluntarily elected to enter into this Agreement and participate in the Plan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the “Stock Award Agreement Barring Unfair Activities.”

Accepted as of the date of grant in accordance with, and subject to, the above terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan document, a copy of which has been received by me.

Appendix A

Stock Award Agreement Barring Unfair Activities

This Stock Award Agreement Barring Unfair Activities (“Agreement”) is Appendix A to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement under the Actuant Corporation 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “RSU Agreement”) between Actuant Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, and Grantee identified in the RSU Agreement.

WHERAS, this Agreement relates to the participation of Grantee in the RSU Agreement by Actuant Corporation, a Wisconsin Corporation. Actuant Corporation, its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates, and successors and assigns, are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Company.”

WHEREAS, Grantee has been informed and Grantee understands that Grantee’s employment or continued employment with the Company is not contingent on participation in the RSU Agreement and Grantee has voluntarily elected to participate in the RSU Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the RSU Agreement including, but not limited to, agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, by accepting the RSU Agreement, Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and Grantee is hereby advised to consult with their own legal counsel; and

WHEREAS, during the course of employment, Grantee will learn confidential information regarding Company’s customers, and/or will establish, maintain, and improve knowledge of or relationships or goodwill with Company’s customers, and/or will learn Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information (as such terms are defined below). Company’s Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and customer relationships have been developed by Company at considerable expense over a number of years and but for Grantee’s employment with Company, Grantee would not know Company’s Trade Secrets and Confidential Information, and Grantee would not be able to create, improve, and maintain relationships with Company’s customers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, Grantee’s participation in the RSU Agreement, and the promises and covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Incorporation or recitals. The above recitals are incorporated herein as part of the Agreement.

2. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms set forth in this Agreement shall have the definitions as set forth in Attachment A. Attachment A is incorporated into and is part of this Agreement.

3. Duty of Loyalty. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is a key employee of the Company and owes the Company a fiduciary duty of loyalty. During employment with Company, Grantee shall owe Company an undivided duty of loyalty, and shall take no action adverse to that duty of loyalty. Grantee’s duty of loyalty to Company includes but is not limited to a duty to promptly disclose to Company any information that might cause Company to take or refrain from taking any action, or which otherwise might cause Company to alter its behavior. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee shall promptly notify Company at any time that Grantee decides to terminate employment with Company or enter into competition with Company, as Company may decide at such time to limit, suspend, or terminate Grantee’s employment or access to Company’s Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and/or customer relationships. Grantee’s privilege to access and use Company’s computers, and to access and use Company’s electronically stored information including Company’s Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, are revoked the moment Grantee takes any action adverse to Grantee’s duty of loyalty to Company.

4. Nondisclosure of Third Party Confidential Information. During Grantee’s employment with Company and after the Termination Date, Grantee shall not use or disclose Third Party Confidential Information for as long as the relevant third party has required Company to maintain its confidentiality, or for so long as required by applicable law, whichever period is longer.

5. Non-disclosure of Trade Secrets. During employment and after the Termination Date, Grantee shall not use or disclose Company’s Trade Secrets so long as they remain Trade Secrets. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit either Grantee’s statutory or other duties not to use or disclose Company’s Trade Secrets, or Company’s remedies in the event Grantee uses or discloses Company’s Trade Secrets.

6. Obligations Not to Disclose or Use Confidential Information. Except as set forth herein or as expressly authorized in writing on behalf of Company, Grantee agrees that while Grantee is employed by Company and during the twelve (12)

month period commencing at the Termination Date, Grantee will not use or disclose (except in discharging Grantee’s job duties with Company) any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information is in Grantee’s memory or it is set forth electronically, in writing or other form. This prohibition does not prohibit Grantee’s disclosure of information after it ceases to meet the definition of “Confidential Information,” or Grantee’s use of general skills and know-how acquired during and prior to employment by Company, so long as such use does not involve the use or disclosure of Confidential Information; nor does this prohibition restrict Grantee from providing prospective employers with an employment history or description of Grantee’s duties with Company, so long as Grantee does not use or disclose Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to information which is subject to a law governing confidentiality or non-disclosure, Grantee shall keep such information confidential for so long as required by law, or for twelve (12) months, whichever period is longer. This Paragraph shall not preclude employees within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act from exercising Section 7 rights they may have to communicate about working conditions. This Paragraph shall not bar Grantee from making disclosures to government entities to the extent required by applicable law or disclosures made in good faith pursuant to applicable “whistleblower” laws or regulations.

7. Return of Property; No Copying or Transfer of Documents. All equipment, books, records, papers, notes, catalogs, compilations of information, data bases, correspondence, recordings, stored data (including but not limited to data or files that exist on any personal computer or other electronic storage device), software, and any physical items, including copies and duplicates, that Grantee generates or develops or which come into Grantee’s possession or control, which relate directly or indirectly to, or are a part of Company’s (or its customers’) business matters, whether of a public nature or not (collectively “Company Records”), shall be and remain the property of Company, and Grantee shall deliver all such materials and items, and any and all copies of them, to Company upon termination of employment. During employment or after Termination Date, Grantee will not copy, duplicate, or otherwise reproduce, or permit copying, duplicating, or reproduction of Company Records without the express written consent of Company, or, as a part of Grantee’s duties performed hereunder for the benefit of Company. Grantee expressly covenants and warrants, upon termination of employment for any reason (or no reason), that Grantee shall promptly deliver to Company any and all originals and copies of Company Records in Grantee’s possession, custody, or control, and that Grantee shall not make, retain, or transfer to any third party any copies thereof. In the event any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets are stored or otherwise kept in or on a computer hard drive or other storage device owned by or otherwise in the possession or control of Grantee (each individually an "Grantee Storage Device"), upon termination of employment Grantee will present every such Grantee Storage Device to Company for inspection and removal of all information regarding Company or its customers (including but not limited to Confidential Information or Trade Secrets) that is stored on the Grantee Storage Device. This Paragraph shall not bar Grantee from retaining Grantee’s own payroll, retirement, insurance, tax, and other personnel documents related to Company.

8. Covenants Barring Certain Unfair Activities. Grantee shall abide by such restrictions in Attachment B hereto. Attachment B is incorporated into and is part of this Agreement.

9.Non-Solicitation of Certain Employees.

(a) Non-solicitation of Management Employees. For twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, Grantee shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, encourage, cause, or solicit, or assist others in encouraging, causing, or soliciting, a Management Employee to terminate their employment with Company to provide Key Services in competition with Company, unless such Management Employee has already ceased employment with Company.

(b) Non-solicitation of Key Employees. For twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, Grantee shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, encourage, cause, or solicit, or assist others in encouraging, causing, or soliciting, a Key Employee to terminate their employment with Company to provide Key Services in competition with Company, unless such Key Employee has already ceased employment with Company.

(c) Non-solicitation of Supervised Employees. For twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, Grantee shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, encourage, cause, or solicit, or assist others in encouraging, causing, or soliciting, a Supervised Employee to terminate their employment with Company to provide Key Services in competition with Company, unless such Supervised Employee has already ceased employment with Company.

10. Proprietary Creations. All Proprietary Creations are the sole and exclusive property of the Company whether patentable or registrable or not, and Grantee assigns all of Grantee’s rights, title, and interest in same to the Company. Further, all Proprietary Creations which are copyrightable shall be considered “work(s) made for hire” as that term is defined by U.S. Copyright Law. If for any reason a U.S. Court of competent jurisdiction determines such Proprietary

Creations not to be works made for hire, Grantee will assign all rights, title, and interest in such works to the Company and, to the extent permitted by law, Grantee hereby assigns all of Grantee’s rights, title, and interest in such Proprietary Creations to the Company. Grantee will promptly disclose all Proprietary Creations to the Company and, if requested to do so, provide the Company a written description or copy thereof. Grantee is not required to assign rights to any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Grantee's own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of the Company or (ii) to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by Grantee for the Company.

Grantee has set out below a complete list of all inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, including the numbers of all patents and patent applications filed thereon, and a brief description of all unpatented inventions, which Grantee made prior to the date of Grantee signing this Agreement or any similar agreement with Company, and which are not to be included in this Agreement (“Reserved Inventions”). If any of the listed inventions related to Company research, product fields, processes or business procedures, then Grantee hereby assigns to Company any improvement made upon the listed items during Grantee’s employment and during the period of one (1) year following the Termination Date.

14. Waiver. The waiver by any Party of the breach of any covenant or provision in this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by any Party.

15. Invalidity of any Provision. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, it being the intention of the Parties that should any provision hereof be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but the same shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, Company and Grantee agree that such provision is to be reformed to the extent necessary for the provision to be valid and enforceable to the fullest and broadest extent permitted by applicable law, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement

16. Applicable Law and Venue. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin.
