Among other things, the Agreement provides that in exchange for cash consideration of US$194,700,000 (the "Consideration") to be paid to LTK Industries Limited (a Hong Kong limited liability company, the "Vendor") at closing, Belden Far East Holdings B.V.

Through its acquisition of LTK Wiring, the Purchaser will indirectly acquire seven subsidiaries of LTK Wiring in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), which subsidiaries have three facilities that manufacture wire and cable products in the PRC. A post-closing payment will be made between the parties to reflect any change in working capital of the acquired entities (including LTK Wiring and its subsidiaries) from June 30, 2006 through the date of closing. The transaction is expected to be completed within sixty days from the date of the Agreement and is subject to certain conditions, including the Vendor and the Purchaser (or their affiliates) entering into a Transitional Service Agreement, Strategic Supply Agreement and Deed of Taxation Indemnity. Under the Agreement, the Company guarantees the performance of the Purchaser's obligations, and Mr. Paul Lo Chung Wai (who owns approximately 46% of the Vendor, "Mr. Lo") guarantees the performance of the Vendor's obligations. Five percent of the Consideration (US$9,735,000) will be placed in escrow as security for the performance of the Vendor's obligations (including certain indemnities) to the Purchaser. In addition, the Agreement provides that before closing, GP Industries Ltd. (a Singapore company that owns approximately 44% of the Vendor, "GPI") and Mr. Lo will provide an undertaking to the Purchaser. Pursuant to the undertaking, among other things, GPI and Mr. Lo, severally in accordance with their equity interest in the Vendor, covenant to the Purchaser that they will procure that the Vendor remains in existence and has a minimum Net Worth (as defined in the Agreement) of at least 30% of the Consideration for three years after closing.
