BRADY CORPORATION DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Restricted stock unit award effective September 25, 2015 to Harold L. Sirkin (hereinafter called the “Director”) pursuant to the terms of the Brady Corporation (the “Corporation”) 2012 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Corporation’s records shall be the official record of the grant described herein and, in the event of any conflict between this description and the Corporation’s records, the Corporation’s records shall control.

This Restricted Stock Unit Award applies to 4,159 shares of the presently authorized Class A Nonvoting Common Stock of the Corporation, $.01 par value (the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement are units that will be reflected in a book account maintained by the Corporation until they become vested or have been forfeited.

The vesting of this Award (other than pursuant to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 2(a) below:

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall occur if any person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) other than the members of the family of William H. Brady, Jr. and their descendants, or trusts for their benefit, and the W. H. Brady Foundation, Inc., collectively, directly or indirectly controls in excess of 50% of the voting common stock of the Corporation.

For purposes of this Agreement, a termination due to Change of Control shall occur if within the 12 month period beginning with the date a Change of Control occurs the Director's service as a member of the Board of Directors is involuntarily terminated (other than by reason of death or Disability).

No dividends will be paid or accrued on any Restricted Stock Units during the Restricted Period.

As soon as practicable after Restricted Stock Units become vested, the Company shall deliver to the Director one share of the Corporation's Class A Nonvoting Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Corporation Stock") for each Restricted Stock Unit which becomes vested.

This Award is non-transferable and may not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Award shall immediately become null and void and the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

The Corporation may require payment of or withhold any tax which it believes is payable as a result of the Restricted Stock Units becoming vested, and the Corporation may defer making delivery of the Corporation Stock until arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation have been made with regard to any such withholding obligations. In lieu of part or all of any such payment, the Directors, in satisfaction of all withholding taxes (including, without limitation, Federal income, FICA (Social Security and Medicare) and any state and local income taxes) payable as a result of such vesting, may elect, subject to such rules and regulations as the Corporation may adopt from time to time, to have the Corporation withhold that number of shares of Corporation Stock (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of vesting and rounded upward) required to settle such withholding taxes.

If the Restricted Stock Units shall vest upon the death of the Director, the shares of Corporation Stock shall be issued and paid to the estate of the Director unless the Corporation shall have theretofore received in writing a beneficiary designation, in which event they shall be issued and paid to the designated beneficiary.

This Award is subject to the terms of the Corporation's recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of awards or any shares of Corporation Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the awards (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the awards).

The terms and provisions of this Award (including, without limitation, the terms and provisions relating to the number and class of shares subject to this Award) shall be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, disposition of property or stock, separation, reorganization, stock dividend, issuance of rights, combination or split-up or exchange of shares, or the like.

This Award is subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between any provisions of this Award and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control, except to the extent the Plan permits the Corporation to modify the terms of an Award grant and has done so herein. Terms defined in the Plan where used herein shall have the meanings as so defined. The Director acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

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

Wherever possible, each provision of this Award will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof.
