ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.  EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE EXCHANGE PLAN  AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE  AS OF NOVEMBER 1, 2001

I. PLAN NAME AND EFFECTIVE DATE

The name of this Plan is the ADC Telecommunications, Inc. ("Company") Executive Incentive Exchange Plan. This statement of the Plan incorporates changes
approved on October 1, 2001 to be first effective for exchange elections made for potential incentive compensation earned in fiscal year 2002.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Plan is to provide rewards for exceptional performance of eligible executives, align executive rewards with shareholder interests, and provide
an incentive for retention.

III. ADMINISTRATION

This Plan will be administered by the same Committee ("Committee") appointed and authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to administer the Company's Global
Stock Incentive Plan. The Committee is authorized to make all decisions as required in administration of the Plan and to exercise its discretion to define, interpret, construe, apply, and make any
exceptions to the terms of the Plan. The Plan operates on an annual basis, coterminous with the Company's fiscal year.

IV. STOCK OPTION ISSUANCE

All stock options issued under this Plan will be granted under the Company's Global Stock Incentive Plan and/or its successor plans. The terms of each option
grant will be detailed in the Global Stock Incentive Plan and stock option agreement provided at the time of the grant.

V. ELIGIBILITY

The Committee will from time to time establish rules of eligibility for participation in the Plan. Eligibility is limited to ADC executives who receive approval
from the Chief Executive Officer for participation during a Plan year, provided that eligibility is confined to selected executives at U.S. salary grade 21 or higher, plus those at salary grade 20 who
were selected for the previous Plan year. All Plan participants must also be participants under the Company's Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"). No employee may become a participant for any Plan year
after November 1st of that Plan year.

VI. EXCHANGE ELECTION

Prior to the beginning of each Plan year, participants may elect to exchange up to 50% of their MIP award for that Plan year for options to purchase common stock
of the Company. Such elections may be made in 10% increments up to a maximum of 50% of the cash MIP award. No exchange will be made
if the portion elected for exchange is less than one hundred dollars ($100.00). An election made under this Plan is irrevocable, and may not be withdrawn or terminated under any circumstances once
made.

VII. EXCHANGE DATE

Exchanges made under this Plan will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the close of the Plan year and the finalization of MIP awards for such
Plan year.

VIII. EFFECTIVE DATE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT

The effective date of the stock options granted under the Plan will be the last business day of the Plan year.

IX. EXCHANGE CALCULATION

The MIP award that will be used to calculate the exchange to options will be the incentive amount eligible to be paid for the fiscal year, as determined in
accordance with the MIP.

The
number of option shares granted as a result of the exchange will equal the dollar amount of the MIP award elected to be exchanged multiplied by 4.5, with this product being divided
by the closing market value of ADC common stock on the effective date of the grant. The final number of shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares.

Participation
in this Plan causes that portion of the MIP cash incentive amount that is elected to be exchanged to be forfeited, except as described under Section XIII.

X. NATURE OF OPTIONS TO BE GRANTED

All options granted under this Plan will be nonqualified stock options, and not "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

XI. TERM AND VESTING OF OPTIONS

All options granted under this Plan shall be 100% vested as of the effective date of the grant and be exercisable as soon as administratively feasible. The
Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the exercisability of the options from the effective date of the grant.

XII. EXERCISE PRICE OF OPTIONS

The exercise price of the stock options granted under this plan will be the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the grant, as
determined in accordance with the terms of the Global Stock Incentive Plan.

XIII. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS ON CURRENT YEAR ELECTIONS (CHANGES DURING THE PLAN YEAR)

XIV. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board of Directors reserves and retains the right to modify, rescind or terminate this Plan in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, and nothing in this
Plan limits this right in any way or creates any rights in any employee in future participation in this Plan or any other, or constitutes any guarantee of compensation or employment with ADC.

XV. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

Participants should be aware that their participation in the Plan involves risk, in that the value of the stock options granted pursuant to the Plan will depend
on the value of ADC common stock. An investment in ADC common stock involves risk. Participants are encouraged to review ADC's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a
description of some of the risk factors associated with an investment in ADC's common stock.
