(“Hill-Rom Company”), and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”). Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Annex I, (a) capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the SIFMA Master, and (b) aside from this Annex I, including all exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto, no other Annexes or Schedules thereto shall form a part of the SIFMA Master or be applicable thereunder.

1. Applicability; Parties; Framework.

(a) Framework Agreement. This Agreement is being entered into in accordance with that certain Master Framework Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2018 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Framework Agreement”), among Hill-Rom Company, Hill-Rom Manufacturing, Inc. and each Additional Seller from time to time party thereto, as sellers, Hill-Rom Company as agent for the sellers (in such capacity, the “Agent”), and MUFG, as buyer. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement or in any Confirmations shall have the meanings set forth in the Framework Agreement (including Schedule 1 thereto). In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Framework Agreement, the Framework Agreement shall govern.

(b) Seller. Hill-Rom Company will act as Seller with respect to all Transactions entered into hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, all powers of Seller hereunder, including the execution and delivery of Confirmations hereunder or any other matters involving consent or discretion, shall be exercised solely by Agent on behalf of Seller.

(d) Securities. The only Security for purposes of this Agreement shall consist of the Hill-Rom Company Note, and no asset or property other than the Hill-Rom Company Note shall be recognized as a Security for purposes of any Transactions hereunder. All references in this Agreement to Securities or Purchased Securities, as the case may be (whether in the SIFMA Master or elsewhere in this Annex I) shall be understood and construed as references to the Hill-Rom Company Note.

(e) Entire Agreement. The first sentence of Paragraph 14 of the SIFMA Master is subject to, and superseded by, Section 9.3 of the Framework Agreement.

2. Definitions.

(a) Added Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following additional terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) ~~(i)~~ “Adjusted LIBOR”, with respect to any Transaction Period, the interest rate per annum determined by Buyer by dividing (the resulting quotient rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1% per annum) (i) the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. (or the successor thereto if it is no longer making such rates available) LIBOR Rate (“ICE LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (currently Reuters LIBOR01 page) (or any other commercially available source providing quotations of ICE LIBOR as designated by Buyer from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) for deposits in U.S. Dollars with a duration comparable to such Transaction Period on the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of such Transaction Period (or if a rate cannot be determined under the foregoing, an interest rate per annum equal to the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1% per annum) of the interest rates per annum at which deposits in U.S. Dollars with a duration comparable to such Transaction Period in a principal amount substantially equal to the Purchase Price for the applicable Transaction outstanding during such Transaction Period are offered to the principal London office of Buyer by three London banks, selected by Buyer in good faith, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of such Transaction Period), by (ii) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage. The calculation of Adjusted LIBOR may also be expressed by the following formula:
“Applicable Margin”, as of any date of determination, a percentage rate equal to:

~~ICE LIBOR or appropriate successor~~

~~Adjusted LIBOR~~ =

~~1.00 - Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage~~

Adjusted LIBOR shall be adjusted on the effective date of any change in the Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Buyer shall give prompt notice to Agent of Adjusted LIBOR as determined or adjusted in accordance herewith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Adjusted LIBOR as determined herein would be less than zero (0.00), such rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.00%) for purposes of this Agreement.

(A) if the Credit Agreement Pricing Level is I as of such date of determination, 1.35%,

(B) if the Credit Agreement Pricing Level is II as of such date of determination, 1.15%,

(iii) “Breakage Event”, with respect to any Transaction, (A) the termination of such Transaction before the Repurchase Date specified in the Confirmation for such Transaction (1) by Seller or Buyer in accordance with Paragraph 3(c)(ii) or Paragraph 11, respectively, of the SIFMA Master, as amended by this Annex I, or (2) as the result of the Termination Date occurring under the Securitization Loan Agreement; or (B) the transfer of any cash by Seller to Buyer during the Transaction Period for such Transaction as required pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) of the SIFMA Master, as amended by this Annex I;

(v) “~~Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage”, the meaning ascribed to such term in the Securitization Loan Agreement;~~Credit Agreement Pricing Level”, as of any date of determination, the applicable “Pricing Level” (denominated as either I, II, III, IV or V) in effect under the Credit Agreement on such date determined in accordance with the table appearing in clause (b) of the definition of “Applicable Rate” set forth in the Credit Agreement and based on the information set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered thereunder;

(b) Revised Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 2 of the SIFMA Master to the contrary, the following terms shall have the following amended and restated meanings:

(iii) “Price Differential”, with respect to any Transaction as of any date, the sum of the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction to the Purchase Price for such Transaction on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period commencing on (and including) the Purchase Date for such Transaction and ending on (but excluding) the date of determination (reduced by any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer with respect to such Transaction); provided, that upon the occurrence of any Breakage Event with respect to such Transaction, such Price Differential shall be increased by Buyer’s applicable Breakage Amount (if any) for such Breakage Event, determined as of the date on which such Breakage Event occurs;

(iv) “Pricing Rate”, the per annum percentage rate for determination of the Price Differential, determined for each Transaction (unless otherwise specified in the Confirmation) as being equal to the sum of (A) Adjusted LIBOR as of the applicable Purchase Date (subject to Section 4.5 of the Framework Agreement) plus (B) ~~1.00%~~the Applicable Margin as of such Purchase Date (it being understood that, if Agent fails to deliver the required Transaction Notice for a Transaction and the other associated documents pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of the Framework Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Purchase Date and Buyer nonetheless elects to proceed with the proposed Transaction, Buyer’s actual cost of funds shall be used instead of Adjusted LIBOR (or any Benchmark Replacement, if applicable) in determining the Pricing Rate for such Transaction);

3. Initiation; Confirmation; Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 3 of the SIFMA Master, the following shall apply:

(a) No Oral Agreements. All agreements to enter into Transactions hereunder shall be in writing in accordance with Article 4 of the Framework Agreement.

(b) Confirmations; Priority. All Confirmations with respect to Transactions hereunder shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Annex I. Subject to the definitions of “Price Differential”, “Repurchase Date” and “Repurchase Price” set forth in Paragraphs 2(b)(iii), 2(b)(v) and 2(b)(vi) of this Annex I, respectively, in the event of any conflict between the terms of a Confirmation and this Agreement, the Confirmation shall prevail.

“Transactions hereunder shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date determined pursuant to the definition of Repurchase Date (without regard to this Paragraph 3(c)) or (ii) a date specified upon demand by Seller, which demand shall be made by Seller in writing no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third London Banking Day prior to the Business Day on which such termination will be effective (it being understood that Seller may not make more than three (3) such demands described in this clause (ii) during the Facility Term).

(d) Outstanding Transactions; Continuity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that no more than one Transaction hereunder shall be outstanding at any given time. It is the intention of the Parties that during the Facility Term, subject to Buyer’s discretion to decline to enter into any Transaction and fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement with respect to Buyer’s entry into any such Transaction, the expiration of each Transaction hereunder on the applicable Repurchase Date shall coincide with the entry into a subsequent Transaction with a concurrent Purchase Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Framework Agreement. The Parties further intend that, pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the SIFMA Master and to the extent permitted under Paragraph 12 of this Annex I, the Repurchase Price payable by Seller with respect to each such expiring Transaction shall be netted to the extent applicable against the Purchase Price payable by Buyer with respect to such subsequent Transaction.

-5-

“If, as of 12:00 noon on any Business Day during the Transaction Period for an outstanding Transaction hereunder (other than the Purchase Date), the Outstanding Amount of the Purchased Securities then subject to such Transaction is less than the Buyer’s Margin Amount for such Transaction (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer, may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to Buyer an amount of cash so that the sum of such transferred cash together with the Outstanding Amount of the Purchased Securities will thereupon equal or exceed such Buyer’s Margin Amount.”

(b) Margin Excess Inapplicable. The provisions of Paragraph 4(b) of the SIFMA Master shall not apply to Transactions under this Agreement, and all references thereto or to “Margin Excess” in the SIFMA Master shall be disregarded.

(c) Margin Deficit Cures. Paragraph 4(c) of the SIFMA Master is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“If any notice is given (or deemed given) by Buyer under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, Seller shall transfer cash as provided in such subparagraph no later than the second Business Day following its receipt (or deemed receipt) of such notice; provided, that if such notice is given (or deemed given) in connection with any prepayment on account of principal owing under the Purchased Securities, Seller shall transfer such cash to Buyer on the same day concurrently with (or immediately following) Seller’s receipt of such prepayment.”

(d) No Additional Purchased Securities. There shall be no Additional Purchased Securities in connection with any Transactions under this Agreement, and all references in the SIFMA Master thereto shall be disregarded for purposes hereof.

(e) Threshold. In accordance with Paragraph 4(e) of the SIFMA Master, the Parties agree that the rights of Buyer under Paragraph 4(a) of the SIFMA Master, as amended by this Annex I, to require the elimination of any Margin Deficit may be exercised only where such Margin Deficit exceeds $1 million.

(f) Reporting of Margin Deficits. Seller (or Agent on Seller’s behalf) shall provide Buyer with the notices required pursuant to Section 5.3(p) of the Framework Agreement and, upon delivery of any such notice, Buyer shall be automatically deemed to have delivered a concurrent notice to Seller exercising its rights under Paragraph 4(a) of the SIFMA Master, as amended by this Annex I, to require the elimination of such Margin Deficit.

5. Income Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 5 of the SIFMA Master, unless an Event of Default with respect to Seller shall have occurred and (i) such Event of Default is continuing and (ii) Buyer has exercised remedies with respect to the Purchased Securities under Paragraph 11(d) of the SIFMA Master, as amended by this Annex I, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Purchased Securities. All references in this Agreement to Income received by Buyer prior to such an Event of Default shall be disregarded.

-6-

6. Security Interest. Paragraph 6 of the SIFMA Master is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any repurchase by Seller of Purchased Securities under an expiring Transaction and simultaneous purchase by Buyer of such Purchased Securities under a subsequent Transaction) until all unpaid Repurchase Price with respect to outstanding Transactions under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full (without application of any set off or netting). Buyer shall have, with respect to all the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Buyer under the Transaction Agreements, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) as may be necessary to perfect the security interest granted pursuant to the foregoing Paragraph 6(a) under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction.

(c) The security interest granted pursuant to the foregoing Paragraph 6(a) is released by Buyer at such time when all unpaid Repurchase Price with respect to outstanding Transactions under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full (without application of any set off or netting), without further action by any Person. Upon such payment and termination of this Agreement, Buyer hereby agrees, at Seller’s expense, to (x) file appropriate financing statement amendments to reflect such release and (y) execute and deliver such other documents as Seller may reasonably request to further evidence such release.”

7. Payment and Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 7 of the SIFMA Master to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided below, all transfers of Securities by one party to the other party in connection with any Transaction shall occur by delivery to the other party of the Original Note in such party’s possession, and shall also be reflected as having been so transferred in the Seller’s books and records. In the event that the expiration of an outstanding Transaction coincides with the entry into a subsequent Transaction hereunder as contemplated by Paragraph 3(d) of this Annex I, the Purchased Securities under such expiring Transaction shall, in lieu of being transferred back to Seller, become Purchased Securities under such subsequent Transaction, and title to such Purchased Securities shall remain continuously vested in Buyer. In the event that the expiration of an outstanding Transaction on a Repurchase Date does not coincide with entry into a such a subsequent Transaction, however, then upon Seller’s payment in full of the Repurchase Price with respect to the expiring Transaction (without application of any set off or netting), the Purchased Securities shall be automatically deemed to be transferred and assigned from Buyer to Seller without further evidence thereof and Buyer shall promptly redeliver the Original Note to Seller or its agent.

8. Rehypothecation of Purchased Securities. Paragraph 8 of the SIFMA Master is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Except for the provisions set forth in Paragraph 11(d) of this Annex I, all provisions in Paragraph 11 and elsewhere in the SIFMA Master, to the extent relating to the occurrence of any such Event of Default with respect to Buyer or any rights or remedies afforded to Seller in connection therewith, shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Replacement Securities Inapplicable.

(d) Buyer Event of Default. The failure of Buyer to promptly redeliver the Original Note to Seller or its agent when and as required pursuant to Paragraph 7 of this Annex I (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that such redelivery obligation is subject to (i) Seller’s payment in full of the Repurchase Price with respect to the applicable outstanding Transaction without application of any set off or netting and (ii) Buyer’s rights pursuant to Paragraph 11(d) of the SIFMA Master (as amended by this Annex I) to sell, dispose of or otherwise exercise remedies with respect to the Purchased Securities in connection with an Event of Default with respect to Seller) shall be an Event of Default with respect to Buyer. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by Seller and/or Hill-Rom Finance Company LLC in connection with or as a result of such Event of Default and any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of such Event of Default, including without limitation any costs incurred to recover the Original Note and any damages resulting from Buyer or another party acquiring the Original Note through Buyer presenting such Original Note to Hill-Rom Finance Company LLC for payment.
