BELDEN INC. 

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

([Absolute/Relative] PSUs) 

THIS PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of the date shown as
the Date of Grant on the attached Notice of Award (the “Grant Date”) by and between Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the individual shown as the Grantee on the attached Notice of Award (the
“Grantee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Grantee is an executive or management employee of the Company, a
subsidiary or an affiliate, and has been selected by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to receive a grant of the number of Performance Stock Units
reflected on the attached Notice of Award (the “PSUs”) representing, subject to certain restrictions, a certain number of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the
“Common Stock”), such number to be based on the attainment of performance objectives and vesting conditions as provided below, and to enter into a Performance Stock Unit Agreement in the form hereof; 

NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows: 

1.            
GRANT OF PSUs.    The Company hereby grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date the PSUs. Each PSU represents the right to receive between zero (0) and two (2) Shares depending on the attainment of Company
performance objectives in accordance with Section 2 below. The Grantee shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or the Shares to be issued to the Grantee under Section 6 hereof and will have the
status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The PSUs are granted under the Company’s 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without further definition shall have the same meanings given to such terms in the Plan. 

2.            
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES; VESTING. 
 (a)       Award Period; Performance
Objectives.      The award period (“Award Period”) during which performance shall be measured is [January 1, 20[    ]/the Grant Date] through
December 31, 20[    ]. The Committee has established a threshold, target and maximum for such Award Period for [consolidated free cash flow/relative total shareholder return compared to an index of peer
companies. The total shareholder return will be measured by comparing the average prices during the first twenty trading days of the Award Period to the average prices during the last twenty trading days of the Award Period]. The
Company’s actual performance relative to the threshold, target and maximum will result in a conversion factor (the “Conversion Factor”). After the Award Period, the Committee shall apply the Conversion Factor to determine
the number (if any) of Shares to be awarded for each PSU based on Company performance during the Award Period, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding (the Shares that 

  
 1 

 
are so awarded are the “Shares”). In the event that the application of the Conversion Factor results in a fractional amount of a Share, the result will be rounded to the
nearest whole number of Shares. The right of the Grantee to receive the Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable (“Vest”) on the later of (i) the Committee’s approval of the Conversion Factor and (ii) the third
anniversary of the Grant Date. 
 (b)         Death or Disability During
Award Period.      If, prior to the Performance Determination Date and while employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates, the Grantee dies or becomes disabled (and leaves the Company or one of
its subsidiaries or affiliates) in accordance with any Company disability policy then in effect, then the Grantee (or, as the case may be, the person entitled by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution) shall, after the Award Period,
be entitled to receive a prorated portion of the Shares that would otherwise (but for such death or disability) be awarded to the Grantee after the Award Period pursuant to Section 2(a) above, such prorated portion being a fraction whose numerator
shall be the number of days of the Grantee’s employment by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates during the Award Period prior to such death or disability and the denominator of which shall be [one thousand ninety-six (1,096)].

 (c)         Retirement During Award
Period.      If, prior to the Performance Determination Date and while employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates, the Grantee retires from employment with the Company or one of its
subsidiaries or affiliates at a time that the Grantee has attained either (A) 55 years of age and 10 years of consecutive employment with the Company or (B) 65 years of age, then the right to receive any Shares resulting from the unvested
PSUs shall immediately Vest in full. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the PSUs must be outstanding for a minimum holding period prior to the retirement date in order for the accelerated vesting to occur. For a grant vesting 100% in
three years, this holding period shall be one year for the entire grant. For a grant vesting 100% in five years, this holding period shall be three years for the entire grant. Delivery of the resulting Shares, if any, shall be made
according to the schedule indicated in Section 2(a). 

(d)         Other Employment Termination During Award
Period.    Except as otherwise described in this Section 2, if the Grantee’s employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates is otherwise terminated during the Award Period, any and all PSUs
shall be forfeited, cancelled and terminated upon such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the applicable termination date shall be Grantee’s final day actively performing his or her job duties, without regard to any severance or
garden leave arrangement. 
 (e)         Change in Control During Award
Period.  Immediately preceding the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 10(d) below), any and all unvested PSUs shall be converted to restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) based on a
Conversion Factor of 1.00. The RSUs shall then Vest according to the Vesting Schedule described on the attached Notice of Award. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates without
Cause (as defined in Section 10(e) below) (other than for death or disability) or by 

  
 2 

 
Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 10(f) below), in either case, within two years following the Change in Control, any and all unvested RSUs shall immediately Vest in
full. All vested RSUs shall be paid to the Grantee as provided in Section 5 hereof. 

3.           NATURE OF
GRANT.        In accepting the grant, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: 

(a)       the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in
nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; 

(b)       the grant of the PSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of PSUs, or benefits in lieu of PSUs, even if PSUs have been granted in the past; 

(c)       all decisions with respect to future PSUs or other grants, if any, will be at
the sole discretion of the Committee; 
 (d)       Nothing in this Agreement, the PSU
grant or the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall create a right to employment or confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company, the Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”), or any subsidiary
or affiliate for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate, as applicable, or the rights of the Grantee, which rights are expressly
reserved by each, to terminate the Grantee’s employment relationship (if any) at any time and for any reason, with or without cause; 

(e)       the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

(f)       the PSUs and the Shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or
compensation; 
 (g)      subject to Article 21.13 of the Plan, the PSUs and the Shares, and
the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service
awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; 
 (h)      the future
value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

(i)        no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from
forfeiture of the PSUs or RSUs resulting from the termination of the Grantee’s employment relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is
employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the PSUs to which the Grantee is otherwise not entitled, the 

  
 3 

 
Grantee irrevocably agrees never to institute any such claim against the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate or the Employer, waives the Grantee’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim,
and releases the Company, any subsidiary and affiliate and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Grantee shall be
deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim; 

(j)       for purposes of the PSUs, the Grantee’s employment relationship will be
considered terminated as described in Section 2(d) (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the
Grantee’s employment agreement, if any). The Board shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer an Employee for purposes of the awarding of Shares (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to
be an Employee while on an approved leave of absence); and 
 (k)       the Grantee
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any subsidiary or affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value
of the PSUs or of any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the PSUs, or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon the settlement of the PSUs. 

4.           NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF PSUs OR RSUs; RESTRICTIONS
ON SALE.    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the PSUs, the RSUs and the rights and privileges conferred thereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and
shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process until the Shares are delivered to the Grantee or his designated representative. The Grantee agrees not to sell any Shares at any time when applicable laws or Company
policies prohibit a sale. This restriction shall apply as long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 

5.           DELIVERY OF SHARES.    As of
the date on which the PSUs or RSUs Vest, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a stock certificate (or register the Shares in book-entry form) representing a number of Shares equal to the number of PSUs multiplied by the Conversion Factor (rounded
to the nearest integer) or the number of RSUs then vested. 

6.           RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES.  

(a)       Generally.    The Grantee acknowledges that,
regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and 

  
 4 

 
may exceed the amount actually withheld by Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant of the PSUs, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any
particular tax result. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. 

(b)      Multiple Jurisdiction.    If the Grantee is subject to
Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable)
may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(c)      Tax Withholding.  The Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the
Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(i)      withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation
paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; 
 (ii)     withholding
from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the PSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

 (iii)    withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the PSUs. 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory
withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the
obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back
solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Further, the Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of
the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Grantee fails to comply with the
Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 

  
 5 

 7.           LEGALITY
OF INITIAL ISSUANCE.    No Shares shall be issued unless and until the Company has determined that: 

(a)       It and the Grantee, at the Company’s expense, have taken any actions
required to register or qualify the Shares under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any local, state, federal or foreign securities law or rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or
of any other governmental regulatory body, that the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; 

(b)       Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities
market on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and 
 (c)       Any
other applicable provision of local, state, federal or foreign laws and regulations have been satisfied, including but not limited to exchange control laws. 

The Grantee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign
securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, the Grantee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement
without the Grantee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares. 

8.           DATA
PRIVACY.    The Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in
this Agreement and any other PSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any subsidiary and affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s
participation in the Plan. 
 The Grantee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about
the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held
in the Company, details of all PSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing the Plan.
 The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to such broker and/or stock plan service
provider as may be designated by the Company from time to time (“Designated Broker”), which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Grantee understands that
the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. The Grantee
understands that the Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Grantee’s local 

  
 6 

 
human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the Company, the Designated Broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with
implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The
Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request additional
information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Grantee’s local human resources representative.
Further, the Grantee understands that the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke the Grantee’s consent, the Grantee’s employment status
or career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Grantee PSUs or other equity awards or administer or
maintain such awards. Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s
refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may contact the Grantee’s local human resources representative. 

9.           NO ADVICE REGARDING
GRANT.    The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale
of the underlying Shares. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with the Grantee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 

10.         MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 

(a)       Rights as a Stockholder.    Neither the Grantee nor
the Grantee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares underlying the PSUs until the date that the Company is obligated to deliver such Shares to the Grantee or the Grantee’s representative. 

(b)       No Dividend Equivalents.    No dividends or dividend
equivalents shall accrue on the PSUs. 

(c)       Anti-Dilution.    In the event that any change in the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company (including an exchange of Common Stock for stock or other securities of another corporation) occurs by reason of a Common Stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange
of Shares or other similar corporate changes, other than for consideration received by the Company therefor, the number of PSUs awarded hereunder and the number of resulting Shares, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee whose
determination shall be conclusive, final and binding; provided, however that fractional Shares shall be rounded 

  
 7 

 
to the nearest whole share. In the event of any other change in the Common Stock, the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine whether such change equitably requires a change in the
number or type of Shares subject to RSUs and any adjustment made by the Committee shall be conclusive, final and binding. 

(d)       Change in Control.   A “Change in
Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the events set forth in any one of the following subparagraphs shall occur: 

(i)       The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than
50% of either (y) the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (z) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (1) any
acquisition directly from the Company, (2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (4) any
acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (1) and (2) of subsection (iii) of this definition; 

(ii)      Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; 

(iii)     Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the
then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination
(including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership, immediately prior to such 

  
 8 

 
Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (2) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors
of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or 

(iv)      Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation
or dissolution of the Company. 
 (v)      For purposes of clarification, the
sale by the Company of a subsidiary or affiliate that employs Grantee shall not constitute a Change in Control of none of the events set forth in Sections 10(d)(i)-(iv) have occurred. 

(e)       Cause.  “Cause” shall mean: 

(i)       Grantee’s willful and continued failure to perform
substantially his duties owed to the Company or its affiliates after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to him specifically identifying the nature of such unacceptable performance, which is not cured by Grantee within a
reasonable period, not to exceed thirty (30) days; 
 (ii)      Grantee is
convicted of (or pleads guilty or no contest to) a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude; or 

(iii)     Grantee has engaged in conduct that constitutes gross misconduct in the
performance of his employment duties. 
 An act or omission by Grantee shall not be “willful” if conducted in good
faith and with Grantee’s reasonable belief that such conduct is in the best interests of the Company. 

(f)       Good Reason.  “Good Reason” shall mean,
without the express written consent of Grantee, the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i)       Grantee’s base salary or annual target cash incentive
opportunity is materially reduced; 
 (ii)      Grantee’s duties or
responsibilities are negatively and materially changed in a manner inconsistent with Grantee’s position (including status, offices, titles, and reporting responsibilities) or authority; or 

(iii)     The Company requires Grantee’s principal office to be relocated more
than 50 miles from its location as of the date immediately preceding the Change in Control.
 Prior to any termination by
Grantee for “Good Reason,” Grantee shall provide the Company not less than thirty (30) nor more than ninety (90) days’ notice, with 

  
 9 

 
specificity, of the grounds constituting Good Reason and an opportunity within such notice period for the Company to cure such grounds. The notice shall be given within ninety (90) days following
the initial existence of grounds constituting Good Reason for such notice and subsequent termination, if not so cured above, to be effective. 

(g)      Incorporation of Plan.   The provisions of the Plan are
incorporated by reference into these terms and conditions. 

(h)      Inconsistency.     To the extent any terms and
conditions herein conflict with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.

(i)       Notices.   Any notice required by the terms of this
Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery, upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid or upon deposit with a reputable overnight
courier. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Grantee at the address that he most recently provided to the Company. 

(j)       Entire Agreement; Amendments.    This Agreement
constitutes the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which
relate to the subject matter hereof. The Committee shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to interpret this Agreement and the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to
modify the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to impose other requirements on Grantee where necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, to require Grantee to sign additional agreements or undertakings to impose additional
requirements and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Committee necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or
in this Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or desirable to carry it into effect. All action by the Committee under the provisions of this paragraph shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. 

(k)      Governing Law; Venue.    This Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof. For purposes of litigating
any dispute that arises under the grant or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Missouri, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of the St. Louis County, or the federal
courts for the United States for the Eastern District of Missouri, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. 

  
 10 

 (l)       Successors. 

(i)       This Agreement is personal to the Grantee and, except as otherwise provided in
Section 5 above, shall not be assignable by the Grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, without the written consent of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Grantee’s legal representatives. 
 (ii)       This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors. It shall not be assignable except in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company. 

(m)     Severability.   If any provision of this Agreement for any reason
should be found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such declaration shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any remaining provision or portion hereof, which
remaining provision or portion hereof shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been adopted with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion hereof eliminated. 

(n)      Headings.    The headings, captions and arrangements
utilized in this Agreement shall not be construed to limit or modify the terms or meaning of this Agreement. 

(o)      Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

(p)      Language.  If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other
document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 

(q)      Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.    The Company may, in
its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan
through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 

(r)       Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse
Laws.    The Grantee acknowledges that, depending on the Grantee’s country of residence, the Grantee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Grantee’s ability to
acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., PSUs) under the Plan during such times as the Grantee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Grantee’s country). Any
restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be 

  
 11 

 
imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Grantee is responsible for complying with any applicable restrictions and are advised to speak with a personal legal advisor
on this matter. 
 (s)       Waiver.    The Grantee
acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Grantee or any other participant. 

By accepting this grant, the Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of this Agreement and accepts the PSUs granted hereunder, and
further agrees to the terms and conditions hereinabove set forth.

(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower and delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require.  Additionally, the Borrower shall 

furnish to such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Upon receipt by the applicable L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in the applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or with respect to an Extended Letter of Credit, the expiry date set forth in such Extended Letter of Credit); provided that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)    After delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment upon request.

(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)    Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)    Each Lender (including any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such L/C Issuer.

(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for any reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)    Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any Cash Collateral being delivered in respect 

of an Extended Letter of Credit, (B) any set‐off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (C) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (D) non-compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, or (E) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)    Repayment of Participations.  

(i)    At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set‐off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)    any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable  L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor‐in‐possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)    Role of L/C Issuers.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the such L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter 

of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the such L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, determines were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)    Cash Collateral.  (i) If the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately provide Cash Collateral in the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be).  The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Wells Fargo.

(h)    Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.  

(i)    Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay Letter of Credit fees as set forth in Section 2.09. 

(j)    Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures 

to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(l)    Extended Letters of Credit.  The Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral (in an amount equal to the amount of each Extended Letter of Credit, calculated in accordance with Section 1.07) to the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to each Extended Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer by the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that if the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any such Extended Letter of Credit by such time, such event shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the amount of each such Letter of Credit, calculated in accordance with Section 1.07), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) in accordance with Section 2.03(c), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit.  If the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, each Lender confirms that its obligations under Section 2.03(c) shall remain in full force and effect.
(j)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 2.06(b) in its entirety as follows:

(b)    Mandatory Prepayments on Revolving Obligations.  If at any time (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Obligations shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of L/C Obligations shall exceed the L/C Committed Amount or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans shall exceed the Swing Line Availability, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans and/or provide Cash Collateral to the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Cash Collateral will not be provided to the L/C Obligations hereunder until the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have been paid to or below the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount or the Swing Line Availability, as the case may be.

(k)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 2.14(d) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(d)    Reallocation of Participation to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  Subject to Section 9.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(l)The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following subsection (g) to the end of Section 3.01:

(g)    FATCA Determination.  For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Third Amendment Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(m)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 3.06(b) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(b)    Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 9.15.

(n)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 5.22 thereof in its entirety as follows:

5.22    Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions; Anti-Terrorism Laws.  

None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, or officers, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s employees (i) is an “enemy” or an “ally of the enemy” within the meaning of Section 2 of the Trading with the Enemy Act of the United States, 50 U.S.C. App. §§ 1 et seq., as amended (the “Trading with the Enemy Act”) or (ii) is in violation of (A) the Trading with the Enemy Act, (B) any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, including without limitation, Executive Order No. 13224, effective as of September 24, 2001 relating to Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001) or (C) the Patriot Act (collectively, the “Anti-Terrorism Laws”).  The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti‐Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects.  None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers or employees is (i) the subject or target of any Sanctions or (ii) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions.

(o)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 6.04 thereof in its entirety as follows:

6.04    Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence.

Except as contemplated otherwise by the Investment Policy, the Borrower will continue, and will cause each Subsidiary to continue, to engage in business of the same general type as now conducted by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, and will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect their respective organizational existences and, with respect to the Borrower, its jurisdiction of organization shall remain in the United 

States (except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender) and, except for any such rights, privileges and franchises the failure to preserve which would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that nothing in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit (a) the merger of a Subsidiary of the Borrower into the Borrower or the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary of the Borrower with or into another Person if the corporation surviving such consolidation or merger is a Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiary of the Borrower and if, in each case, after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and a responsible officer of the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate representing that after giving effect to the transaction (i) the Borrower is in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement on a pro forma basis and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, or (b) the termination of the corporate existence of any Subsidiary of the Borrower or the discontinuation of any line of business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries if the Borrower in good faith determines that such termination is in the best interest of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders.

(p)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 6.12 thereof in its entirety as follows:

6.12    Use of Proceeds.

The Extensions of Credit hereunder will be used (a) to refinance existing indebtedness for borrowed money, including Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) to finance the acquisition and development of healthcare real estate properties by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and (c) to finance the general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

(q)The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 6.16 thereof in its entirety as follows:

(a)    Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  Permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at any time to be greater than 60%; provided, however, that if such ratio is greater than 60% but is not greater than 65%, then the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this subsection (a) so long as (i) the Borrower completed a Material Acquisition during the quarter in which such ratio first exceeded 60%, (ii) such ratio does not exceed 60% at any time after the fiscal quarter immediately following the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition was completed, (iii) the Borrower has not maintained compliance with this subsection (a) in reliance on this proviso more than one time during the term of this Agreement and (iv) such ratio is not greater than 65% at any time.

(s)The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following new Section 9.23 at the end of Article IX thereof:

9.23    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if it has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action could be reasonably be expected to be asserted against such Lender).

(t)The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting Schedules 2.01, 5.06 and 5.07 attached thereto in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof Schedules 2.01, 5.06 and 5.07 attached hereto.

Section 2.  Conditions Precedent.  The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of each of the following in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(a)    a counterpart of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Required Lenders;

(b)    replacement Revolving Notes duly executed by the Borrower payable to each Lender that requests a Revolving Note in the original principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Committed Amount as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto;

(c)    a certificate of the Borrower, signed on behalf of the Borrower by the Borrower’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer, certifying that, (i) since December 31, 2015, there has not been a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), operations, business, assets, liabilities or prospects of the Consolidated Group taken as a whole or in the facts and information regarding such entities as represented to date, nor has there been a downgrade of the Borrower’s credit rating of two or more notches, and (ii) there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened in any court or before any arbitrator or governmental authority that purports (x) to materially and adversely affect the Borrower or its subsidiaries, or (y) to affect any transaction contemplated the Credit Agreement or the ability of the Borrower and its subsidiaries or any other obligor under the guarantees to perform their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement.

(d)    the Borrower’s financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2016 included in the Borrower’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC;

(f)    such other documents, agreements and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Section 3.  Allocations.  The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender agree that upon the effectiveness of this Amendment (the date of such effectiveness, the “Amendment Effective Date”), the outstanding Revolving Loans and the participation interests of the Lenders in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages calculated based on the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto (the “Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage”).  To effect such allocations, each Lender whose Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage exceeds the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment and any Lender providing a new Commitment shall make a Revolving Loan in such amount as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans held by such Lender shall equal such Lender’s Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent shall make such amounts of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available (a) to each Lender whose Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage is less than the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans held by such Lender shall equal such Lender’s Post-Amendment Commitment Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date and (b) to the Exiting Lenders (as defined below) as is necessary to repay in full the Revolving Loans owing to such Exiting Lenders.  The parties hereto confirm that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Amendment Effective Date is equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans immediately after giving effect to the Amendment.  Except for any Revolving Notes to be provided to the Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Revolving Commitments, no other documents, instruments or fees (other than fees set forth in Section 2(e) above) shall be, or shall be required to be, executed or paid in connection with such allocations (all of which are hereby waived, as necessary).

Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as a new Lender under the Credit Agreement on the Amendment Effective Date, hereby agrees to provide a new Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.  On the Amendment Effective Date, Goldman Sachs Bank USA agrees to become and shall be deemed a Lender for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and each reference to the Lenders in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include Goldman Sachs Bank USA.  Goldman Sachs Bank USA hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof.

On the Amendment Effective Date, the Revolving Commitments of each of Regions Bank and Royal Bank of Canada (each, an “Exiting Lender”) shall be terminated, all outstanding amounts due under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the Exiting Lenders on the Amendment Effective Date shall be paid in full, and each Exiting Lender shall cease to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement.

The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender confirms the amount of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitment as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.

Section 4.  Representations.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(a)    Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention.  The execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment are within the corporate power of the Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official or other Person (except for any such action or filing that has been taken and is in full force and effect) and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the Organization Documents of the Borrower or of any material agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other material instrument binding upon the Borrower or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower other than Liens created pursuant to the Credit Documents.  

(b)    Binding Effect.  This Amendment and the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitute valid and binding agreements of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms.

(c)    No Default.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof nor will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.

Section 5.  Reaffirmation of Representations.  The Borrower hereby repeats and reaffirms all representations and warranties made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and the other Credit Documents on and as of the date hereof with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this Amendment in full.

Section 6.  Certain References.  Each reference to the Credit Agreement in any of the Credit Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment is a Credit Document.

Section 7.  Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith.

Section 8.  Benefits.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).

Section 10.  Effect; Ratification.  Except as expressly herein amended, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents remain in full force and effect.  The amendments contained herein shall be deemed to have prospective application only.  The Credit Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.  Nothing in this Amendment shall limit, impair or constitute a waiver of the rights, powers or remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.  

Section 11.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns.

Section 12.  Definitions.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the respective definitions given them in the Credit Agreement.
