EFFECTIVE AS OF NOVEMBER 1, 2001  

 
 
 

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. 

2

 

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)  

	A.
	Termination of Employment  . A participant whose employment is terminated prior to the end of a Plan year, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (with or without cause), will
relinquish all rights to the
grant of any stock option under this Plan and will forfeit the MIP cash equivalent amount as defined in his/her irrevocable exchange election.

	B.
	Change in Job Status Based Upon a Demotion  . If a participant is demoted from an eligible position under this Plan to an ineligible position, a pro-rated
portion of the participant's cash MIP award will be
exchanged under this Plan. The pro-rated portion shall be calculated according to the time served in the eligible position during the Plan year, provided at least three months were served
in the eligible position.

	C.
	Death  . If a participant dies during a Plan year, the participant's heirs as determined by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution will have
no right to receive any stock
options under this Plan. Heirs will receive instead the cash equivalent of the participant's MIP award that is calculated according to the MIP Plan. 

3

 

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.

SECTION 1    
    
    INTRODUCTION    
  

1.1.    Establishment.  ADC Telecommunications, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, has previously established and maintained a
welfare benefit plan to provide severance benefits to certain Eligible Employees following a Change in Control. In its most recent form this severance plan is embodied in a document which was first
adopted effective September 26, 1989 and amended effective September 23, 1997 and entitled "ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Change in Control Severance Pay Plan." Effective
July 1, 2001, ADC Telecommunications amended and restated its existing plan to, among other things, exclude certain employees from participation. This "ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan" was adopted, effective July 1, 2001, to provide change in control severance benefits for certain executives no longer eligible to participate in
the "ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Change in Control Severance Pay Plan." Effective October 1, 2001, ADC Telecommunications, Inc. adopted the First Amendment to the ADC
Telecommunications, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan. Effective January 1, 2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc. has amended and restated its existing plan. In its
most recent form, this severance plan is embodied in a document entitled "ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan (2002 Restatement)." 

1.2.    Definitions.  When the following terms are used in this document with initial capital letters, they shall have the
following meanings. 

        1.2.1.    Base Pay —    the regular basic cash remuneration before deductions for taxes and other items
withheld, payable to a Participant for services rendered to the Employer, but not including items such as Incentive Bonus payments, perquisites, allowances, per diem payments, bonuses, incentive
compensation, stock options, equity compensation, fringe benefits, special pay, awards or commissions. Base pay shall include regular basic cash remuneration that is contributed by an employee to a
qualified retirement plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plan or similar plan sponsored by the Employer but it shall not include earnings on those amounts. 

        1.2.2.    Change in Control — shall mean:    

	(a)
	a
change in control of the Principal Sponsor of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), whether or not the Principal Sponsor is then subject to such reporting requirement;

	(b)
	the
public announcement (which, for purposes of this definition, shall include, without limitation, a report filed pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the
Principal Sponsor or any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) that such person has become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Principal Sponsor representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Principal Sponsor's then outstanding
securities, determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3, excluding, however, any securities acquired directly from the Principal Sponsor (other than an acquisition by virtue of the
exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the Principal Sponsor); provided, however, that for purposes of this clause the term
"person" shall not include the Principal Sponsor, any subsidiary of the Principal Sponsor or any employee benefit plan of the Principal Sponsor or of any subsidiary of the Principal Sponsor or any
entity holding shares of Common Stock organized, appointed or established for, or pursuant to the terms of, any such plan;

	(c)
	the
Continuing Directors cease to constitute a majority of the Principal Sponsor's Board of Directors; 

1

 

	(d)
	consummation
of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of, or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of, the Principal Sponsor (a "Business
Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners of the Principal Sponsor's outstanding
voting securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own voting securities of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination having more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such resulting Corporation and (B) at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from such
Business Combination were Continuing Directors at the time of the action of the Board of Directors of the Principal Sponsor approving such Business Combination;

	(e)
	approval
by the shareholders of the Principal Sponsor of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Principal Sponsor; or

	(f)
	the
majority of the Continuing Directors determine in their sole and absolute discretion that there has been a change in control of the Principal Sponsor. 

        1.2.3.    Cause —    the willful and continued failure by a Participant to perform his or her duties or
gross and willful misconduct including, but not limited to, wrongful appropriation of funds. 

        1.2.4.    Code   — the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

        1.2.5.    Continuing Director —    any person who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Principal
Sponsor, while such person is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring Person (as defined below) or an Affiliate or Associate (as defined below) of an Acquiring Person, or a
representative of an Acquiring Person or of any such Affiliate or Associate, and who (i) was a member of the Board of Directors on the Effective Date of the Plan as first written above, or
(ii) subsequently becomes a member of the Board of Directors, if such person's initial nomination for election or initial election to the Board of Directors is recommended or approved by a
majority of the Continuing Directors. For purposes of definition, "Acquiring Person" shall mean any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) who or which,
together with all Affiliates and Associates of such person, is the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Principal Sponsor representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Principal Sponsor's then outstanding securities, but shall not include the Principal Sponsor, any
subsidiary of the Principal Sponsor or any employee benefit plan of the Principal Sponsor or of any subsidiary of the Principal Sponsor or any entity holding shares of common stock of the Principal
Sponsor organized, appointed or established for, or pursuant to the terms of, any such plan; and "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in
Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. 

        1.2.6.    Disability —    the Participant's inability, due to an impairment, to perform the essential
functions of the Participant's position, with or without reasonable accommodation, provided the Participant has exhausted the Participant's entitlement to any applicable disability-related leave of
absence, if the Participant desires to take and satisfies all eligibility requirements for such leave. 

        1.2.7.    Effective Date — January 1, 2002.    

        1.2.8.    Eligible Employee —    an individual who, immediately prior to a Change in Control is the Chief
Executive Officer of the Principal Sponsor, or is classified by the Employer as a regular employee in ADC global job grades 22 or higher. 

Eligible
Employee does not include an employee who is employed outside the United States (other than a U.S. regular employee whose assignment outside the United States has been classified by the
Employer as temporary, provided that any assignment outside the United States that is expected to 

2

 

exceed 60 months will not be considered temporary) or who is a non-immigrant worker residing in the United States covered by any non-immigrant visa status other than an
H-1B visa status. 

The
Employer's classification of a person as a regular employee shall be conclusive. No reclassification of a person's status as a regular employee with the Employer, for any reason, without regard to
whether it is initiated by a court, governmental agency or otherwise and without regard to whether or not the Employer agrees to such reclassification, shall result in the person being an Eligible
Employee, either retroactively or prospectively. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this provision, however, the Employer may declare that a reclassified person will be classified as an
Eligible Employee, either retroactively or prospectively. 

        1.2.9.    Employer —    ADC Telecommunications, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, its wholly owned
subsidiaries with employees who meet the definition of Eligible Employee, and any successor of the Principal Sponsor. Employer shall also refer to any affiliates designated by ADC

        1.2.11.    Exchange Act —    the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

        1.2.12.    Good Reason —    the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a job reassignment
that is not of comparable responsibility or status as the assignment in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (ii) a reduction in the Participant's Base Pay as in effect
immediately prior to a Change in Control; (iii) a material modification of the Employer's incentive compensation program (that is adverse to the Participant) as in effect immediately prior to a
Change in Control; (iv) a requirement by the Employer that the Participant be based anywhere other than within fifty miles of the Participant's work location immediately prior to a Change in
Control (with exceptions for temporary business travel); or (v) except as otherwise required by applicable law, the failure by the Employer to provide employee benefit programs and plans
(including any stock ownership and stock purchase plans) that provide substantially similar benefits, in terms of aggregate monetary value, at substantially similar costs to the Participant as the
benefits provided in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control. Termination or reassignment of the Participant's employment for Cause, or by reason of Disability or death, are excluded from this
definition. 

        1.2.13.    Incentive Bonus Plan —    Employer's Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") or Sales Management
Incentive Plan ("SMIP") or any other equivalent incentive bonus plan covering management employees that the Compensation Committee of the Board has determined to be an Incentive Bonus Plan for
purposes of this Plan. 

        1.2.14.    Participant —    an Eligible Employee of the Employer who becomes a Participant under the terms
of Section 2 of the Plan. 

        1.2.15.    Plan —    the severance pay plan of the Employer established for the benefit of certain
Eligible Employees in the event of a Change in Control and described in this Plan Statement. (As used herein, "Plan" refers to the program established by the Employer and not the document pursuant to
which the Plan is maintained. That document is referred to herein as the "Plan Statement.") 

        1.2.16.    Plan Statement —    effective January 1, 2002, this written document entitled "ADC
Telecommunications, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan (2002 Restatement)," as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter. 

        1.2.17.    Plan Year —    the twelve consecutive month period ending on any December 31. 

        1.2.18.    Principal Sponsor —    ADC Telecommunications, Inc. 

        1.2.19.    Termination of Employment —    actual cessation of active employment by a Participant as a
result of (a) an involuntary termination by the Employer, with or without reasonable notice, and for any reason other than Cause, or (b) a voluntary termination by the Participant for
Good Reason. Termination of Employment shall not include termination by reason of the Participant's death or Disability. 

3

 
 
 

SECTION 2    
    
    PARTICIPATION    
  

2.1.    Eligibility to Participate.  An individual shall become a Participant on the day such individual becomes an Eligible
Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, an individual who is an employee of a successor to the Principal Sponsor immediately prior to a Change in Control shall not be eligible
for benefits under the Plan. 

2.2.    Termination of Participation.  An individual ceases to be a Participant on the earliest of:

severance payment as provided in Section 3;

	(b)
	the
date the Participant ceases to be an employee due to termination of the Participant's employment (with or without reasonable notice and whether voluntary or involuntary and
including retirement) with the Employer, except where such termination results in eligibility for a severance payment as provided in Section 3;

	(c)
	the
date the Participant ceases to be an employee due to Participant's death or Disability;

	(d)
	the
date following a Change in Control that the Participant receives all of the severance and bonus payments due, if any, under the Plan;

	(e)
	the
date the Plan is amended pursuant to the rules of Section 7 to exclude the Participant from participation; or

	(f)
	the
date the Plan is terminated pursuant to the rules of Section 7. 

4

 

 
 

SECTION 3    
    
    SEVERANCE PAYMENT    
  

3.1.    Eligibility for Payment.  To qualify for a severance payment under this Plan, a Change in Control must occur and a
Participant must: (a) be a Participant immediately prior to the time of such Change in Control and immediately prior to the Participant's Termination of Employment; and (b) have a
Termination of Employment that occurs within 24 months following a Change in Control. 

3.2.    Amount of Benefits.  The severance payment to a Participant under the Plan shall be based on the Participant's position or
global job grade in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control. For purposes of this Section 3.2, a Participant's "annual pay" shall be equal to the sum of: (a) the Participant's
annual Base Pay in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if greater, the Termination of Employment; and (b) the Participant's annual target bonus under the Participant's
Incentive Bonus Plans in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if greater, the Termination of Employment. The Participant's total severance benefit shall be payable in a single lump
sum and shall be determined according to the following schedule: 

	Position/Grade
 
	 	Severance Benefit

	CEO	 	3 × annual pay
	22 or higher	 	2 × annual pay

3.3.    Benefit Offset.  The amount of any severance payment that a Participant is entitled to under Section 3.2 shall be
reduced by any cash compensation paid or payable by the Employer to the Participant associated with the Participant's termination of employment (including any pay in lieu of notice and severance pay).
A Participant who receives a severance benefit under the Plan will not be eligible to receive any severance benefit under the severance Plan entitled "ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Change in
Control Severance Pay Plan." 

3.4.    Time and Form of Payment.  Payments will be made to eligible Participants in a single lump sum cash payment as soon as
administratively feasible following the Participant's Termination of Employment. If the Participant should die before actually receiving the severance payment, such payment will be made to the
personal representative of the Participant's estate. 

3.5.    Withholding Tax.  The Employer shall deduct from the amount of any severance payment under the Plan any amount required to
be withheld by reason of any law or regulation for the payment of federal, state or local taxes. 

5

 
 
 

SECTION 4    
    
    BONUS PAYMENT    
  

4.1.    General.  A Participant is eligible to receive a bonus payment provided for in this Section 4 only if the
Participant is eligible to receive a severance payment as provided in Section 3. This Section 4 is intended to provide for a final payment under any applicable Incentive Bonus Plans for
the bonus period in which Participant's Termination of Employment occurs. Any amounts determined pursuant to this Section 4 shall be offset by amounts otherwise paid or payable to the
Participant under the relevant Incentive Bonus Plans for the bonus period in which the Participant's Termination of Employment occurs. 

4.2.    Bonus Payments.  Bonus payment(s), if any, shall be equal to the target bonus amount in effect for the bonus period in
which the Termination of Employment occurs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days worked by the Participant in the bonus period prior to the Termination of Employment,
and the denominator of which is the number of days in the bonus period. The bonus payment will be made to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment as soon as administratively feasible
following the Participant's Termination of Employment. If the Participant should die before actually receiving the payment, such payment will be made to the personal representative of the
Participant's estate. 

4.3.    Adjusted Bonus Payments.  At the end of the bonus period, the Employer shall calculate the amount a Participant would
receive for a bonus period in which a Termination of Employment occurs based on actual performance over the entire bonus period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
worked by the Participant in the bonus period prior to the Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is the number of days in the bonus period (the "Actual Bonus Amount"). If the Actual
Bonus Amount is greater than the amount calculated under Section 4.2 above, the Employer shall pay the difference to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment as soon as
administratively feasible following the end of the bonus period. If the Participant should die before actually receiving the payment, such payment will be made to the personal representative of the
Participant's estate.

SECTION 5    
    
    280G LIMITATION    
  

5.1.    Gross-Up Payment.  In the event a Participant becomes entitled to payments under the Plan, the Employer shall
cause its independent auditors (the "Auditors") promptly to review, at the Employer's sole expense, the applicability of Section 4999 of the Code to those payments. 

If
the Auditors shall determine that any payment or distribution of any type by the Employer to a Participant or for a Participant's benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable
pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise (the "Total Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties with respect to such
excise tax (the excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional cash payment (a
"Gross-Up Payment") equal to an amount such that after payment by the Participant of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant would retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. 

For
purposes of determining the amount of any tax pursuant to this Section, the Participant's tax rate shall be deemed to be the highest statutory marginal state and Federal tax rate (on a combined
basis and including the Participant's share of F.I.C.A. and Medicare taxes) then in effect. 

A
Participant shall in good faith cooperate with the Auditors in making the determination of whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, including but not limited to providing the Auditors
with information or documentation as reasonably requested by the Auditors. A determination by the Auditors regarding whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
Gross-Up Payment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Participant and the Employer for all purposes. 

5.2.    Payment Date.  A Gross-Up Payment required to be made by Section 5.1 of this Plan shall be paid to
Participant within 30 days of a final determination by the Auditors that the Gross-Up Payment is required. 

If
the Auditors have not yet made the determination required by Section 5.1 prior to the time the Participant is required to file a tax return reflecting the Total Payments, the
Participant will be entitled to receive a Gross-Up Payment calculated on the basis of the Total Payments reported by the Participant in such tax return, within 30 days of the filing
of such tax return. 

5.3.    Controversies with Tax Authorities.  The Employer and the Participant shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any
written communications, and summaries of any oral communications, with any taxing authority regarding the applicability of Section 280G or 4999 of the Code to any portion of the Total Payments.
In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authority with regard to the applicability of Section 280G or 4999 of the Code to any portion of the Total
Payments, Employer shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to control the resolution of such controversy at its own expense. Participant and the Employer shall in good faith
cooperate in the resolution of such controversy. 

If
the Internal Revenue Service or any tax authority makes a final determination that a greater Excise Tax should be imposed upon the Total Payments than is determined by the Auditors or reflected in
the Participant's tax return pursuant to this Section, the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Employer the full Gross-Up Payment calculated on the basis of the amount of
Excise Tax determined to be payable by such tax authority. That amount shall be paid to the Participant within 30 days of the date of such final determination by the relevant tax authority.

SECTION 6    
    
    FUNDING    
  

The
Employer may establish a trust to fund the Plan but the Employer is not under any obligation to establish a trust. A Participant will be entitled to claim benefits from the trust to the extent the
Plan is funded under a trust and a Participant shall have only such rights as set forth in the trust. To the extent benefits are not funded under a trust, payments made pursuant to the Plan will be
paid out of the general funds of the Employer. To the extent benefits are not funded under a trust, a Participant will not have any secured or preferred interest by way of trust, escrow, lien or
otherwise in any specific
assets and the Participant's rights shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of the Employer. 

8

 
 
 

SECTION 7    
    
    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION    
  

The
right has been reserved to the Board of Directors of the Principal Sponsor to amend the provisions of the Plan Statement and to amend or terminate the Plan at any time prior to a Change in
Control. If any of these actions are taken, affected Participants will be notified. During the two-year period following the date of a Change in Control, the provisions of the Plan
Statement may not be amended if any amendment would adversely affect the rights, expectancies or benefits provided by the Plan (as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control) of any
Participant or other person entitled to payment under the Plan. The Plan may not be terminated during the same two-year period. Except to the extent benefits have become payable but have
not actually been paid, the Plan terminates automatically on the second anniversary of the date of a Change in Control, except to pay any remaining severance benefits to any Participant who has a
Termination of Employment on or before the Plan's termination date and except to resolve claims for benefits under the Plan arising on or before the Plan's termination date.

SECTION 8    
    
    CLAIMS PROCEDURE    
  

The
claims procedure set forth in this section shall be the exclusive procedure for the disposition of claims for benefits arising under this Plan. 

	(a)
	Original Claim  . Any Participant, former Participant, or beneficiary of such Participant or former Participant, if he or she so desires, may file with the Principal Sponsor
a written claim
for benefits under this Plan. Within ninety (90) days after the filing of such a claim, the Principal Sponsor shall notify the claimant in writing whether the claim is upheld or denied in whole
or in part or shall furnish the claimant a written notice describing specific special circumstances requiring a specified amount of additional time (but not more than one hundred eighty
(180) days from the date the claim was filed) to reach a decision on the claim. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Principal Sponsor shall state in writing:

	(i)
	the
specific reasons for the denial;

	(ii)
	the
specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based;

	(iii)
	a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary; and

	(iv)
	an
explanation of the claims review procedure set forth in this section. 

	(b)
	Review of Denied Claim  . Within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice that the claim has been denied in whole or in part, the claimant may file with the Principal
Sponsor a written request
for a review and may, in conjunction therewith, submit written issues and comments. Within sixty (60) days after the filing of such a request for review, the Principal Sponsor shall notify the
claimant in writing whether, upon review, the claim was upheld or denied in whole or in part or shall furnish the claimant a written notice describing specific special circumstances requiring a
specified amount of additional time (but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the request for review was filed) to reach a decision on the request for review.

	(c)
	General Rules  .

	(i)
	No
inquiry or question shall be deemed to be a claim or a request for a review of a denied claim unless made in accordance with the claims procedure. The Principal Sponsor may require
that any claim for benefits and any request for a review of a denied claim be filed on forms to be furnished by the claimant upon request.

	(ii)
	All
decisions on claims and on requests for a review of denied claims shall be made by the Principal Sponsor or its delegatee.

	(iii)
	The
Principal Sponsor may, in its discretion, hold one or more hearings on a claim or a request for a review of a denied claim.

	(iv)
	A
claimant may be represented by a lawyer or other representative (at the claimant's own expense), but the Principal Sponsor reserves the right to require the claimant to furnish
written authorization. A claimant's representative shall be entitled, upon request, to copies of all notices given to the claimant.

	(v)
	The
decision of the Principal Sponsor on a claim and on a request for a review of a denied claim shall be served on the claimant in writing. If a decision or notice is not 

10

 

received
by a claimant within the time specified, the claim or request for a review of a denied claim shall be deemed to have been denied. 

	(vi)
	Prior
to filing a claim or a request for a review of a denied claim, the claimant or his or her representative shall have a reasonable opportunity to review a copy of the Plan and
all other pertinent documents in the possession of the Principal Sponsor.

	(vii)
	The
Principal Sponsor may permanently or temporarily delegate its responsibilities under this claims procedure to an individual or a committee of individuals.

SECTION 9    
    
    MISCELLANEOUS    
  

9.1.    Type of Plan.  Section 3 of the Plan is a severance pay welfare benefit plan and not a pension benefit plan.
Section 4 of the Plan is a payroll practice. Any severance payment under Section 3 of the Plan will not be contingent directly or indirectly upon an employee retiring and shall not be
made beyond 24 months after the employee's Termination of Employment. Section 4 is neither a severance pay welfare benefit plan nor a pension benefit plan. The plan is established with
the understanding that it is an unfounded welfare plan maintained primarily for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated individuals within the meaning of ERISA. 

9.2.    No Assignment.  No Participant shall have any transmissible interest in any benefit under the Plan nor shall any
Participant have any power to anticipate, alienate, dispose of, pledge or encumber the same, nor shall the Employer recognize any assignment thereof, either in whole or in part, nor shall any benefit
be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution following judgment or other legal process. 

9.3.    Named Fiduciaries.  The Principal Sponsor and any committee appointed hereunder to decide claims shall be named
fiduciaries for the purpose of section 402(a) of ERISA. 

9.4.    Administrator.  The Principal Sponsor shall be the administrator for purposes of section 3(16)(A) of ERISA. 

9.5.    Service of Legal Process.  The corporate secretary of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. is designated as agent for
service of legal process against the Plan. Also, service of legal process may be made upon ADC Telecommunications, Inc. as Plan Administrator. 

9.6.    Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of the Plan which shall remain in full force and effect. 

9.7.    Governing Law.  This Plan Statement has been executed and delivered in the State of Minnesota and has been drawn in
conformity to the laws of that State and shall, except to the extent that U.S. federal law is controlling, be construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Minnesota
without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Minnesota or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Minnesota. 

9.8.    No Employment Rights.  Neither the terms of this Plan Statement nor the benefits hereunder nor the continuance thereof
shall be a term of the employment of any employee, and the Employer shall not be obliged to continue the Plan. The terms of this Plan Statement shall not give any employee the right to be retained in
the employment of the Employer. The Employer assumes no obligation to the participants under this Plan Statement with respect to any doctrine or principle of acquired rights or similar concept. 

9.9.    No Guarantee.  Neither the members of any committee appointed by the Principal Sponsor nor any of the Employer's officers
in any way secure or guarantee the payment of any benefit or amount which may become due and payable hereunder to any Participant. Neither the members of any committee nor any of the Employer's
officers shall be under any liability or responsibility (except to the extent that liability is imposed under ERISA) for failure to effect any of the objectives or purposes of the Plan by reason of
the insolvency of the Employer. 

9.10.    No Co-Fiduciary Responsibility.  Except as is otherwise provided in ERISA, no fiduciary shall be liable for
an act or omission of another person with regard to a fiduciary responsibility that has been allocated to or delegated in this Plan Statement or pursuant to procedures set forth in this Plan
Statement.
