	Re: 	Officer
Severance Policy

 
 
This is a challenging time for our company. While I am
confident in our ability to successfully work through the issues we are facing, I am also aware that our current business climate creates an
uncertainty and raises concerns that could distract you from the turnaround work at hand. To address such concerns, I’m pleased to inform you that
the Board of Directors has approved your eligibility for enhanced severance coverage in the event your employment is terminated by Lucent for reasons
other than “cause”. This new severance benefit does not apply to all officers, so I ask that you keep your eligibility
confidential.

The severance benefit provides for continuation of salary and target bonus for 24
months if certain events occur. During this 24-month period, your stock options and restricted stock units will continue to vest. In addition, your
coverage under many of Lucent’s benefit plans, including the medical, dental, stock purchase and savings plans, will continue as normal. The
attached outline provides further detail of the new severance benefit. If you have any questions about the terms and conditions of the new severance
benefit, please contact Pam Kimmet at 908-582-8557.

Challenging times can be the most satisfying and rewarding times of our
professional lives. With your help we can take our company to new levels of success.
