Restated Brady Corporation Restoration Plan, as amended

Brady Corporation established the Brady Corporation Restoration Plan effective as of January 1, 2000, and it is hereby restated effective as of July 17, 2018. This document describes how this Plan has been administered for periods after 2004 and prior to July 17, 2018 and how it shall be administered for periods after such date.

The Plan is intended to restore to key management employees of Brady and its affiliates income deferral opportunities and employer contributions they would have had under the Company’s tax qualified Brady Matched 401(k) Plan and Brady Funded Retirement Plan but for the limitations of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and to provide certain additional benefits.

This document is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. If any provision or term of this document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

The following terms, when used in the Plan with initial capital letters, shall have the meaning given to them in this Article.

reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), moving expenses and welfare benefits.

continues at a level that is 50 percent or more of the average level of service performed by the Participant during the immediately preceding 36-month period. No presumption applies to a decrease in the level of bona fide services performed to a level that is more than 20 percent and less than 50 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed during the immediately preceding 36-month period. The presumption is rebuttable by demonstrating that the Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated that as of a certain date the level of bona fide services would be reduced permanently to a level less than or equal to 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services provided during the immediately preceding 36-month period or the full period of services to the Employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months (or that the level of bona fide services would not be so reduced). For example, the Participant may demonstrate that the Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated that the Participant would cease providing services, but that, after the original cessation of services, business circumstances such as termination of the Participant's replacement caused the Participant to return to employment. Although the Participant's return to employment may cause the Participant to be presumed to have continued in employment because the Participant is providing services at a rate equal to the rate at which the Participant was providing services before the termination of employment, the facts and circumstances in this case would demonstrate that at the time the Participant originally ceased to provide services, the Employer reasonably anticipated that the Participant would not provide services in the future. For purposes of this paragraph (b), for periods during which the Participant is on a paid bona fide leave of absence (as defined in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.24) and has not otherwise terminated employment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.24, the Participant is treated as providing bona fide services at a level equal to the level of services that the Participant would have been required to perform to receive the compensation paid with respect to such leave of absence. Periods during which the Participant is on an unpaid bona fide leave of absence (as defined in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.24) and has not otherwise terminated employment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.24, are disregarded for purposes of this paragraph (b) of this Section 2.24 (including for purposes of determining the applicable 36-month (or shorter) period).

(regardless of position at the Employer) for purposes of applying the provisions of any nonqualified deferred compensation plan, and such treatment is specified in writing no later than the closing date of the asset purchase transaction. For purposes of this paragraph (c), references to a sale or other disposition of assets, or an asset purchase transaction, refer only to a transfer of substantial assets, such as a plant or division or substantially all the assets of a trade or business.

An Employee shall be eligible to elect deferrals and receive Employer contributions in accordance with the provisions of Article IV beginning on the date the Committee advises the Employee they are eligible because the Committee in its discretion has determined that the Employee may reasonably be anticipated to earn Compensation from the Employer in excess of the limit described in Code Section 401(a)(17).

An Eligible Employee shall be credited with a Matching Contribution for a Plan Year in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 4% of the Eligible Employee’s Excess Compensation or (b) the Elective Deferral made on the Eligible Employee’s behalf for the Plan Year, provided that in order to receive the Matching Contribution such Eligible Employee must remain employed with the Employer on the last day of such Plan Year.

An Eligible Employee shall be credited with an Employer Contribution for a Plan Year in an amount equal to 4% of the Eligible Employee’s Excess Compensation for the Plan Year; provided the Eligible Employee remains employed with the Employer on the last day of such Plan Year.

There shall be credited to the Participant’s Matching Contribution Account for a Plan Year an amount in addition to amounts credited under Section 4.3 for the same year. The amount credited under this Section 4.5 shall be equal to .04(X-(Y-Z)) where X is the limit in Code Section 401(a)(17) for such Plan Year, Y is the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year as defined in Section 2.9 and Z is the amount of elective deferrals for the Plan Year under all nonqualified deferred compensation plans and agreements (including this Plan) of the Employer covering the Participant. No amount shall be credited under this Section if X does not exceed the remainder of Y minus Z. For example, if a Participant's Compensation as defined in Section 2.9 is $300,000, they defer $50,000 (that is, under all nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the Employer), and the 401(a)(17) limit is $275,000, they receive .04($275,000-($300,000-$50,000)) = .04($25,000) = $1,000 under this Section 4.5. If they only deferred $10,000, they receive $0 under this provision because .04($275,000-($300,000-$10,000)) = .04($275,000-$290.000) so X is not greater than Y minus Z.

As of the last day of a Plan Year, there shall be credited to the Participant’s Employer Contribution Account an amount in addition to amounts credited under Section 4.4 for the same year. The amount credited under this Section 4.6 shall be equal to .04(X-(Y-Z)) where X is the limit in Code Section 401(a)(17) for such Plan Year, Y is the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year as defined in Section 2.9 and Z is the amount of elective deferrals for the Plan Year under all nonqualified deferred compensation plans and agreements (other than this Plan) of the Employer covering the Participant. No amount shall be credited under this Section if X does not exceed the remainder of Y minus Z.

investment in the investment funds, and to the extent such investments are made, such investments shall remain an asset of the Employer subject to the claims of its general creditors.

The Employer shall provide annual reports to each Participant showing (a) the value of the Account as of the most recent December 31st (b) the amount of contributions made by the Employer for the year ending on such date and (c) the amount of any investment earnings or loss credited or debited to the Participant’s Account.

A Participant shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times in all of their Accounts herein.

A partial or total distribution of the Participant’s Account shall be made prior to Separation from Service upon the Participant’s request and a demonstration by the Participant of severe financial hardship as a result of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Such distribution shall be made in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Committee’s determination that the foregoing requirements have been met. In any case, a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by

liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under Article IV and any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the account balance type sponsored by the Employer. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need must take into account any additional compensation that is available because of cancellation of a deferral election under Article IV and any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the account balance type sponsored by the Employer upon a payment due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. The payment may be made from any arrangement in which the Participant participates that provides for payment upon an Unforeseeable Emergency, provided that the arrangement under which the payment was made must be designated at the time of payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, in the event this Plan fails to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder with respect to any Participant, there shall be distributed to such Participant as promptly as possible after the Administrator becomes aware of such fact of noncompliance such portion of the Participant’s Account balance hereunder as is included in income as a result of the failure to comply, but no more.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, payments shall be made from the Account of a Participant in this Plan to such individual or individuals (other than the Participant) and at such times as are necessary to comply with a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII hereof, a Participant’s Account balance under this Plan and all other nonqualified deferred compensation plans of the account balance type shall automatically be distributed to the Participant on or before the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the Participant’s Separation from Service or the 15^th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service if the total amount in such Account balance at the time of distribution, when aggregated with all other amounts payable to the Participant under all arrangements benefiting the Participant described in IRS Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) (or any successor thereto), do not exceed the amount described in Code Section 402(g)(1)(B). The foregoing lump sum payment shall be made automatically and any other distribution elections otherwise applicable with respect to the individual in the absence of this provision shall not apply.

The Committee shall be the plan administrator and shall be responsible for and perform the duties imposed on a plan administrator.

The Committee shall have the power and duty to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms, including, but not limited to, the following:

Brady Corporation or the Committee may authorize one or more of Brady Corporation’s employees, members, representatives or agents, as applicable, to execute on its behalf instructions or directions to any interested party, and any such interested party may rely thereupon and the information contained therein.

Each Participant and Beneficiary shall furnish the Committee in the form prescribed by it and at its request, such personal data, affidavits, authorizations to obtain information, or other information as the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

The Committee has full and complete discretionary authority to determine eligibility for benefits, to construe the terms of the Plan and to decide any matter presented through the claims review procedure. Any final determination by the Committee (including claims decisions made pursuant to Article IX) shall be binding on all parties and afforded the maximum deference allowed by law. If challenged in court, such determination shall not

be subject to de novo review and shall not be overturned unless proven to be arbitrary and capricious upon the evidence considered by the Committee at the time of such determination.

A member of the Committee who is covered hereunder may not vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or vote in any case in which their individual right to any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. Decisions shall be made by remaining Committee or Board members even if there is no quorum under normal Committee or Board rules.

This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin to the extent not preempted by the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or other federal law.

All expenses and costs incurred in connection with the administration and operation of the Plan shall be borne by the Employer and/or the Trust.

If a person to whom a benefit is payable is a minor or is otherwise incompetent by reason of a physical or mental disability, the Committee may cause the payments due to such person to be made to another person for the first person’s benefit without any responsibility to see to the application of such payment. Such payments shall operate as a complete discharge of the obligations to such person under the Plan.

The Employer shall comply with all applicable tax and governmental withholding requirements.

Except as otherwise provided by law, neither the Board nor the Committee nor any individual member of the Board or the Committee, nor the Employer, nor any officer, shareholder or employee of the Employer shall be liable for any error of judgment, action or failure to act hereunder or for any good faith exercise of discretion, excepting only liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such individuals and entities shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising by reason of any good faith error of omission or commission with respect to any responsibility, duty or action hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall preclude the Employer from purchasing insurance to cover potential liability of one or more persons who serve in an administrative capacity with respect to the Plan.

If the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary (hereinafter referred to as a “Claimant”) is denied all or a portion of an expected benefit under the Plan for any reason, they may file a claim with the Committee or its designee. The Committee or its designee shall notify the Claimant within 60 days of allowance or denial of the claim, unless the Claimant receives written notice prior to the end of the sixty (60) day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision and specifying the expected date of decision. The notice of such decision shall be in writing, sent by mail to the Claimant’s last known address, and if a denial of the claim, must contain the following information:

A Claimant is entitled to request a review of any denial of their claim. The request for review must be submitted in writing to the Committee within 60 days after receipt of the notice of the denial. The timely filing of such a request is necessary to preserve any legal recourse which may be available to the Claimant and, absent the submission of request for review within the 60-day period, the claim will be deemed to be conclusively denied. Upon submission of a written request for review, the Claimant or their representative shall be entitled to review all pertinent documents, and to submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Committee. The Committee shall fully and fairly review the matter and shall consider all information submitted in the review request, without regard to whether or not such information was submitted or considered in the initial claim determination. The Committee shall promptly respond to the Claimant, in writing, of its decision within 60 days after receipt of the review request. However, due to special circumstances, if no response has been provided within the first 60 days, and notice of the need for additional time has been furnished within such period, the review and response may be made within the following 60 days. The Committee’s decision shall include specific reasons for the decision, including references to the particular Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, notification that the Claimant can receive or review copies of all documents, records and information

relevant to the claim, and information as to the Claimant’s right to file suit under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

Except as required by law or except to the extent the following would violate Section 409A:

Brady Corporation (through its Board of Directors or authorized officers or employees and/or the Committee) reserves the right to alter or amend the Plan, or any part thereof, in such manner as it may determine, at any time and for any reason. Further, the Board of Directors of Brady Corporation reserves the right to terminate the Plan, at any time and for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any amendment or termination deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any amounts credited to them under this Plan as of the date of such amendment or termination; provided, however, that Brady Corporation may prospectively change the manner in which earnings are credited or discontinue the crediting of earnings and, further, Brady Corporation may make any amendment it deems necessary or desirable for purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder.

If the Plan is amended to freeze benefit accruals, no additional deferrals or contributions shall be credited to any Participant Account hereunder. Following such a freeze of benefit accruals, Participants’ Accounts shall be paid at such time and in such form as provided under Article VII of the Plan. If the Employer terminates the Plan and if the termination is of the type described in regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code Section 409A, then the Employer shall distribute the then existing Account balances of Participants and beneficiaries in a lump sum within the time period specified in such regulations and, following such distribution, there shall be no further obligation to any Participant or beneficiary under this Plan. However, if the termination is not of the type described in such regulations, then following Plan termination Participants’ Accounts shall be paid at such time and in such form as provided under Article VII of the plan.

The headings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference and shall be ignored in the construction of the provisions herein.

The existence of the Plan shall not create or change any contract, express or implied, between the Employer and its employees and shall not affect the Employer’s right to take any action with respect to its employees.

The interest and rights of a Participant and Beneficiary under the Plan shall be those of a general unsecured creditor of the Employer, and with respect to the creditors of the Employer, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any preferred claims on, or any beneficial ownership in, the assets of the Employer, including any assets in which the Employer may invest to aid in meeting its obligations under the Plan.

All benefits payable hereunder are for the sole use and benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be free, clear and discharged of and from, and are not to be in any way liable for, debts, contracts or agreements, now contracted or which may hereafter be contracted and from all claims and liabilities now or hereafter incurred by any Participant or Beneficiary covered by this Plan. No Participant or Beneficiary covered by this Plan shall have the right to anticipate, surrender, encumber, alienate or assign, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, any of the benefits to become due hereunder unto any person or person upon any terms whatsoever, and any attempt to do so shall be void.

There is no commitment or guarantee with respect to the tax treatment to be accorded to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan.

The use of the singular shall be interpreted to include the plural and the plural the singular, as the context shall require. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter shall be interpreted to include the masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context shall require.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of a summary or description of the Plan or the terms of any agreement or instrument related to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling.

If any provisions of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal and invalid provisions had never been included herein.

The Employer, the Committee and any person or persons involved in the administration of the Plan shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, statement, or representation made or evidence furnished by any person with respect to any facts required to be determined under any of the provisions of the Plan, and shall not be liable on account of the payment of any monies or the doing of any act or failure to act in reliance thereon. Any such certification, statement, representation, or evidence, upon being duly made or furnished, shall be conclusively binding upon the person furnishing it but not upon the Employer, the Committee or any other person involved in the administration of the Plan. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any of such parties from contesting any such certification, statement, representation, or evidence or to relieve any person from the duty of submitting satisfactory proof of any fact.

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained by an Employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as described in Section 201(2), Section 301(a)(3), Section 401(a)(1) and Section 4021(b)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Each Participant shall keep their name and address on file with the Employer and shall promptly notify the Employer of any changes in their name or address. All notices required or contemplated by this Plan shall be deemed to have been given to a Participant if mailed with adequate postage prepaid thereon addressed to them at their last address on file with the Employer. If any check in payment of a benefit hereunder (which was mailed to the last address of the payee as shown on the Employer’s records) is returned unclaimed, further payments shall be discontinued unless evidence is furnished that the recipient is still alive.

The Employer shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and obligation in and under this Plan upon a merger or consolidation in which the Employer is not the surviving entity or to the purchaser of substantially its entire business or assets or the business or assets pertaining to a major product line, provided such assignee or purchaser assumes and agrees to perform after the effective date of such assignment all of the terms, conditions and provisions imposed by this Plan upon the Employer. Upon such assignment, all of the rights, as well as all obligations, of the Employer under this Plan shall thereupon cease and terminate.

Notwithstanding the usual rules regarding distribution elections contained in Article VII, a Participant, on or before December 31, 2007, may make an election as to distribution of their Account from among the choices described in Section 7.1 hereof without complying with the rules described in Section 7.2 hereof as long as the effect of the election is not to accelerate payments into 2006 or to defer payments which would otherwise have been made in 2006 or to accelerate payments into 2007 or to defer payments which would otherwise have been made in 2007. Such election shall become effective after the last day upon which it is permitted to be made. In order to change any such election after it has become effective, the requirements of Section 7.2 hereof must be satisfied.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this Plan document on its behalf this 17th day of July, 2018.
