<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>
</DIV>

pertaining to the manufacture of connectors/harnesses, actuator/sensor boxes and accessories
located in Germany, England, France, Singapore and the U.S (the &#147;Assets&#148;).

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Among other things, the Agreement provides that in exchange for a stated cash purchase price to be
paid at closing by Belden Deutschland GmbH (a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company and

Business Transfer Agreement is subject to VAT, however, the PURCHASE PRICE (or the relevant
portion thereof) shall be understood as being exclusive of VAT legally owed. In such event,
the PARTIES hereby agree to do the following: SELLER I draws up an invoice showing the VAT
separately. The VAT shall not be paid by PURCHASER in cash, but rather by way of assignment
and set-off. PURCHASER shall assign to SELLER I the claim for refund of the input tax against
the competent tax office up to the amount of the legally required VAT on the PURCHASE PRICE
(or the relevant portion thereof) to be paid; SELLER I shall accept the assignment. SELLER I
and PURCHASER mutually undertake to sign the assignment deeds according to the official
printed form (Section&nbsp;46 Subsection 3 German Tax Code &#150; &#147;<I>AO&#148;</I>). PURCHASER shall be obliged to
file the assignment deeds without undue delay after the claim for refund of input tax arises
with the competent tax office and shall be obliged to provide SELLER I with the confirmation
of the receipt by the competent tax office. PURCHASER shall not be obliged to pay the amount
of the VAT which has been set off. In the event that the claim for refund of input tax shall
be lower than the VAT which has to be paid by PURCHASER according to this Business Transfer
Agreement, PURCHASER shall be obliged to pay the respective difference as soon as the general
requirements for payment of the PURCHASE PRICE pursuant to Section&nbsp;5 par. 4. exist.</TD>
