its entirety, the terms and conditions of the CommScope, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan originally adopted June 8, 1990, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2001, as further amended and restated effective
December 15, 2004, as further amended and restated effective February 24, 2006, and as further amended and restated effective October 8, 2007. The provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 2001 shall continue to

then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in Control has
occurred pursuant to this paragraph (a), the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities in a Non-Control Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute a Change in Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition
by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person the majority of the voting power, voting equity securities or equity interest of which is owned,

(b) The individuals who, as of February 24, 2006, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to
constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the Board or, following a Merger (as hereinafter defined), the board of directors of (i) the corporation resulting from such Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), if fifty percent
(50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by another Person (a “Parent Corporation”) or (ii) if there is

two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of the Plan, be considered a member of the Incumbent Board; and provided, further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such
individual initially assumed office as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or
settle any Proxy Contest; or 
 (c) The consummation of: 

(i) A merger, consolidation or reorganization (x) with or into the Company or (y) in which securities of the Company
are issued (a “Merger”), unless such Merger is a “Non-Control Transaction.” A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a Merger in which:

prior to the Merger had Beneficial Ownership of thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities, has Beneficial Ownership, directly or indirectly, of thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the combined
voting power of the outstanding voting securities or common stock of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation. 

(ii) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 

(iii) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole to any Person (other than (x) a transfer to a Related Entity or (y) the distribution to the Company’s shareholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”)
acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting
Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons; provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Shares or
Voting Securities by the Company and, after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities and such Beneficial Ownership increases the percentage of the then
outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

immediately prior to becoming employed by the Company or Subsidiary. 
 2.24 Special Account shall mean the initial individual

 ARTICLE III 

DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS AND ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS 

3.1 Designation of Participants. An employee shall become a Participant in the Plan when the Board or the Committee has
(i) approved his selection to become a Participant in the Plan, (ii) determined the amount of any Special Account to be credited to the employee, and (iii) notified the employee, in writing, that he is a Participant in the Plan. Such
notice shall be given to a Participant by the Company with the concurrence of the Board or the Committee and shall be accompanied by such information as shall be deemed appropriate to describe the provisions of the Plan and the benefits hereunder.

 3.2 Eligibility for Benefits. Benefits shall be payable in respect of a Participant if: 

(a) the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs on or after the later of his Vesting Date or his Normal Retirement Date; 

(b) the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs on or after the later of his Vesting Date or his Early Retirement Date; 

(c) the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs as a result of his death while in active Service before his Early Retirement Date or
Normal Retirement Date and he is survived by his Beneficiary;

 Except as provided in (c),
(d), (e) or (f) above, or upon a complete termination of the Plan in accordance with section 8.1 below, no benefits shall be payable hereunder with respect to any Participant whose Separation from Service occurs prior to the earlier of his
Early Retirement Date or his Normal Retirement Date. 
 3.3 Continued Employment after Normal Retirement Date. In the event a
Participant remains an active employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, division or unit after the later of the Vesting Date or his Normal Retirement Date, his right to benefits under the Plan shall be fully vested, but no benefits shall be payable
to the Participant until the time set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5 or 5.9, as applicable. In addition, any such Participant who remains an active employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, division or unit after his Normal Retirement Date
shall continue to be eligible to receive (i) annual contributions to his Regular Account in accordance with Section 4.3 and (ii) Earnings on his Special Account and Regular Account in accordance with Section 4.5 hereof. 

  
 6 

 3.4 Continued Eligibility for Benefits. Notwithstanding the above, the Participant’s
rights to receive, or continue to receive, his Supplemental Retirement Plan Account Balance shall be contingent on his: 
 (a) rendering
reasonable business consulting and advisory services after a Separation from Service as the Company may reasonably request from time to time; provided: 

(i) It is understood that such services shall not require the Participant to be active in the day-to-day activities of the
Company, and that the Participant shall perform such services as an independent contractor. 
 (ii) It is further understood

(b) not performing services similar to the services performed by the Participant for the Company or any affiliate of the Company, in any
capacity, for any business enterprise which competes to a substantial degree with the Company, nor engaging in any activity, including the solicitation of the Company’s employees, that involves substantial competition with the Company, without
the prior written consent of the Company, during the greater of (i) the period during which the Participant is entitled to payments hereunder, and (ii) two (2) years immediately following the Participant’s Separation from
Service. 
 ARTICLE IV 

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS 

4.1 Supplemental Retirement Account Balance. All benefits under the Plan shall be provided to each Participant from such
Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account Balance as established, maintained, and distributed by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Each Participant’s Supplemental Account Balance shall be equal to the sum of such
Participant’s Special Account and Regular Account including Earnings thereon, as described herein. 
 4.2 Special Account. The
Company shall establish for each Participant in the Plan an individual Special Account which shall, unless the Board or the Committee determines in its sole discretion with respect to any Participant to increase the amount of such Special Account,
be equal to the product of 5% of such Participant’s Annual Compensation as earned over the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year in which the employee first becomes a Participant, multiplied by the number of whole and fractional years
of Service completed by the Participant while employed by the Company in a salary grade 17 or higher, as rendered prior to the January 1 of the Plan Year in which the employee first becomes a Participant. Such Special Account shall be credited
with Earnings beginning with the Plan Year in which the Special Account is first established, and accumulated balances thereunder shall continue to be credited with Earnings until completely distributed to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, if
applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Special Accounts shall not be established for Participants who begin participating in the Plan during the 2009 Plan Year, and no Earnings shall be credited to existing Special Accounts during the 2009 Plan
Year. 

  
 7 

 4.3 Regular Account. The Company shall establish for each Participant in the Plan an
individual Regular Account to which the Company shall credit an annual contribution each December 31st with respect to each Participant who as of such December 31st, is both a Participant in the Plan and is actively employed by the Company
or a Subsidiary. The annual contribution credited to the Regular Account of any Participant who is in a salary grade above grade 17 as of December 31 of the Plan Year for which the contribution is determined, shall, unless the Board or the
Committee determines in its discretion with respect to any Plan Year to increase the amount of such contribution, be equal to 5% of such Participant’s Annual Compensation up to the Annual Compensation Cap, plus 15% of such Participant’s
Annual Compensation in excess of the Annual Compensation Cap. 
 The annual contribution credited to the Regular Account of any Participant
who is in a salary grade 17 or below as of December 31 of the Plan Year for which the contribution is determined, shall, unless the Board or the Committee determines in its discretion with respect to any Plan Year to increase the amount of such
contribution, be equal to 5% of such Participant’s Annual Compensation up to the Annual Compensation Cap, plus 10% of such Participant’s Annual Compensation in excess of the Annual Compensation Cap. 

Contributions credited to the Regular Account shall be credited with Earnings beginning with the Plan Year immediately following its
determination, and accumulated balances thereunder shall continue to be credited with Earnings until completely distributed to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, if applicable. In addition, the Board or the Committee may at its discretion credit
to a Participant’s Regular Account, at any time or from time to time, a special lump sum contribution. Such special lump sum contributions to a Participant’s Regular Account shall be credited with Earnings beginning with the Plan Year in
which the contribution is determined, and accumulated balances thereunder shall continue to be credited with Earnings until completely distributed to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, if applicable. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make no contributions to Regular Accounts during the 2009 Plan Year, and no Earnings shall be
credited to Regular Accounts during the 2009 Plan Year. 
 4.4 Determination of Regular Account Credit in Year of Separation from
Service. If a Participant first experiences a Separation from Service other than as of December 31 of a Plan Year and qualifies for benefits under Article III of the Plan, he shall be eligible for a partial contribution credit to his
Regular Account. The partial credit shall be determined as of the date of his Separation from Service by first computing the annualized value of the excess of the Participant’s Compensation over the Annual Compensation Cap, then multiplying
such amount by the applicable contribution percentage factors set forth in section 4.3 above, and then multiplying the resulting amount by a prorated factor equal to the number of completed months of Service as of the Separation from Service date
divided by 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be eligible for any contribution credit if such Participant experiences a Separation from Service during the 2009 Plan Year. 

  
 8 

 For purposes of this section 4.4, the portion of the Participant’s Annual Compensation
considered attributable to his bonus or commission shall be his target bonus or commission (deemed achieved at a 100% level of performance, if applicable) as in effect for the year during which the Separation from Service occurs. If it is
subsequently determined that his actual bonus or commission attributable to the year of his Separation from Service is other than such target bonus or commission amount, then the Administrator may recalculate the partial contribution credit to his
Regular Account to reflect such difference and may adjust the remaining balance of the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account accordingly. Such recalculations and adjustments shall be completed as soon as practicable following the
determination of the actual bonus or commission amounts payable, and any resulting adjustments shall be credited with Earnings as set forth herein. 

4.5 Determination and Crediting of Earnings. The Earnings credited to each Participant’s Special Account and Regular Account for
each Plan Year shall be determined by the Administrator prior to the beginning of such Plan Year and shall be communicated to each Participant. For the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2006, and for each subsequent Plan Year thereafter until
changed by the Administrator, the Earnings credited to each Participant’s Special Account and Regular Account shall be at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum; provided, however, that the Earnings to be credited shall be reviewed on or
before December 31, 2010 and reset if the Administrator determines that it is appropriate to do so and shall be further reviewed (and reset if appropriate) not less frequently than every five (5) years. Earnings shall be credited to each
Participant’s Special Account or Regular Account from time to time during each Plan Year in which the Participant retains an undistributed amount in his Supplemental Retirement Account Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Earnings shall
be credited to Special Accounts or Regular Accounts during the 2009 Plan Year. 
 ARTICLE V 

ELECTION; PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 

5.1 Commencement of Benefit Payments. Except as provided in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.9, payment of a Participant’s
Supplemental Retirement Account Balance to a Participant who becomes eligible for payments due to a Separation from Service described in Article III of the Plan shall be made in a single lump-sum payment on the January 31 st or July 31 st next following such Participant’s Separation from Service. 

5.2 Change in Timing or Form of Payment. 

(a) Initial Election. Prior to the later of December 31, 2008 and the date that is 30 days after a Participant’s
Participation Date, the Participant may make an election to defer his Payment Commencement Date to a later Payment Commencement Date specified by the Participant and/or change the payment method from lump sum payment to annual installments over a
period of 5, 10 or 15 years. 
 (b) Subsequent Elections. At any time after the date that is 30 days after a Participant’s
Participation Date, a Participant may elect to defer his Payment Commencement Date to a later Payment Commencement Date specified by the Participant and/or change the 

  
 9 

 payment method from a lump-sum payment to annual installments over a period of 5, 10 or 15 years, provided that
any such election that is made before January 1, 2009 shall be made in accordance with IRS Notice 2007-86 and any such election that is made after December 31, 2008 (i) will not be effective for 12 months after the date on which such
election is made, (ii) where the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account Balance is to be paid at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, must be made not less than 12 months prior to the specified date of the payment or
the first scheduled payment, (iii) must provide that the later Payment Commencement Date is at least 5 years after the previous Payment Commencement Date, and (iv) must be submitted to and approved by the Administrator. Once the first
installment has been made, no further changes in the timing or duration of the payment method will be permitted. 
 (c) Timing of
Installments. Subject to Section 5.9, if a Participant has elected an installment payout pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the first such installment shall be made on the January 31st or June 30th next following the
Participant’s Separation from Service or, if the Participant’s election was made pursuant to Section 5.2(b), on the date specified in the Participant’s election. Each subsequent installment shall be made on the anniversary of the
first installment payment (or if the first installment was delayed by reason of the application of Section 5.9, on each anniversary of the date the first installment payment would have been made but for Section 5.9). 

5.3 Payment of Survivor’s Benefit. In the event of the Participant’s death prior to the complete distribution of his
Supplemental Retirement Account Balance, distribution of any remaining amounts shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the death of the Participant and the determination of the
Beneficiary but in no event later than 90 days after the Participant’s death. If no Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Participant’s death, or if the Beneficiary is missing or has predeceased the Participant, the
Survivor’s Benefit shall be made to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate in accordance with applicable state law. 

5.4 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant shall designate in writing, as soon as practicable following his Participation Date,
the Beneficiary who shall receive the Survivor’s Benefit upon his death. The Participant may change his Beneficiary from time to time, at his discretion, by notifying the Administrator in writing. 

5.5 Payments in the Event of Disability. In the event that a Participant who has not yet received or commenced to receive payment of
his Supplemental Retirement Account Balance is determined to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to
last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months (a “Disability”) he shall be entitled to his Supplemental Retirement Account Balance. The payment of the Supplemental Retirement Account Balance shall be made in a single lump sum as
soon as practicable following the determination of the Participant’s Disability, but in no event later than 90 days after the date of such determination. Such determination of Disability shall be made by the Administrator based on medical
evidence deemed acceptable by the Administrator. Such evidence may include the Participant’s qualification for disability payments under Social Security, and/or payments under a Company sponsored long-term disability insurance program. 

  
 10 

 5.6 Payment in the Event of a Separation from Service following a Change of Control. In
the event that a Participant experiences a Separation from Service for any reason other than by the Company for Cause within two (2) years after the date of a Change in Control, which also constitutes a “change in ownership or effective
control of” the Company or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company, in each case within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other interpretive guidance issued
thereunder, the Participant shall receive the full value of his Supplemental Retirement Account Balance in the form of a single lump sum payment as soon as practicable following his Separation from Service, but in no event later than 90 days
following such Separation from Service. 
 5.7 Valuation of Benefit Payments. All distributions under the Plan shall be based upon
the amount credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account Balance as determined as of the business day immediately preceding the date of distribution. In the event that the benefit payments are in the form of annual installments,
each installment shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Supplemental Retirement Account Balance, determined as of the business day immediately preceding the date of such installment, by the remaining number of installments, including the
current installment, to be paid. 
 5.8 Investment to Facilitate Payment of Benefits. Although the Company is not obligated to invest
any specific asset or fund, or purchase any insurance contract in order to provide a means for the payment of any liabilities under the Plan, the Company may elect to do so at any time, but without any obligation to continue such investment or other
payment vehicles for any particular period of time. 
 5.9 Payments to “Specified Employees”. Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Plan, with respect to any Participant who is a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, the payment or commencement of payments
pursuant to the Plan to the Participant by reason of a Separation of Service shall be delayed until the date that is six months and one day after the Participant’s Separation from Service and shall be paid or commenced to be paid within 30 days
after such date; provided, however, that this Section 5.9 shall not apply if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs by reason of his or her death. 

ARTICLE VI 

FUNDING AND PARTICIPANT’S INTEREST 

6.1 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Unfunded. The Plan shall at all times be considered entirely unfunded for both federal and
state income tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA and no trust shall be created by or for the Plan. The crediting to each Participant’s Special Account or Regular Account, as the case may be, shall be made through recordkeeping
entries. No actual funds shall be set aside; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from establishing one or more grantor trusts from which benefits due under the Plan may be paid in certain instances. All distributions
shall be paid by the Company from its general assets and a Participant (or his or her beneficiary) shall have the rights of a general unsecured creditor against the Company for any distributions due hereunder. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by
the Company to make benefit payments in the future. 

  
 11 

  

6.2 Participant’s Interest in Plan. A Participant has an interest only in the total value of the amount credited to his Regular
Account and his Special Account. 
 ARTICLE VII 

ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION 

7.1 Administration. The Administrator shall be in charge of the overall operation and administration of the Plan. The Administrator, to
the extent appropriate and in addition to the powers described elsewhere in the Plan, has full discretionary authority to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan; to perform all acts, including the delegation of its
administrative responsibilities to advisors or other persons who may or may not be employees of the Company; and to rely upon the information or opinions of legal counsel or experts selected to render advice with respect to the Plan, as it shall
deem advisable, with respect to the administration of the Plan. 
 7.2 Interpretation. The Administrator may take action, correct any
defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in any election hereunder, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to carry the Plan into effect or to carry out the Company’s purposes in adopting the
Plan including without limitation maintaining the Plan in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Any decision, interpretation or other action made or taken in good faith by or
at the direction of the Company or the Administrator arising out of, or in connection with, the Plan, shall be within the absolute discretion of each of them, and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, and all Participants and
Beneficiaries and their respective heirs, executors, administrator, successors and assigns. The Administrator’s determinations hereunder need not be uniform, and may be made selectively among eligible employees whether or not they are similarly
situated. 
 7.3 Records and Reports. The Administrator and its designees shall keep a record of proceedings and actions and shall
maintain or cause to be maintained all such books of account, records, and other data as shall be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan. Such records shall contain all relevant data pertaining to individual Participants and their
rights under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the duty to administer the Plan in a manner consistent with all rights or benefits provided hereunder to the extent assets of the Company are properly available. 

7.4 Payment of Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred by the Administrator in administering the Plan. If a claim or
dispute arises concerning the rights of a Participant or Beneficiary to amounts deferred under the Plan, regardless of the party by whom such claim or dispute is initiated, the Company shall, upon presentation of appropriate vouchers, pay all legal
expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket costs of attorneys, billed to and payable by the Participant or by anyone claiming under or through the Participant (such person being
hereinafter referred to as the “Participant’s Claimant”), in connection with the bringing, prosecuting, defending, litigating, negotiating, or settling of such claim or dispute; provided that: 

(a) The Participant or the Participant’s Claimant shall repay the Company any such expenses theretofore paid or advanced by the Company if
and to the extent that the party disputing the Participant’s rights obtains a final judgment in its favor from a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal may be taken, whether because the time to do so has expired or otherwise, and
it is determined by the court that such expenses were not incurred by the Participant or the Participant’s Claimant while acting in good faith; provided further, that 

  
 12 

 (b) In the case of any claim or dispute initiated by a Participant or the Participant’s
Claimant, such claim shall be made, or notice of such dispute given, with specific reference to the provisions of the Plan, to the Administrator within two (2) years, (three (3) years in the event of a Change of Control) after the
occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim or dispute. 
 7.5 Indemnification for Liability. The Company shall indemnify the
Administrator and the employees of the Company to whom the Administrator delegates duties under the Plan against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising from their responsibilities in connection with the Plan, unless
the same is determined to be due to gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 7.6 Claims Procedure. If a claim for benefits or for
participation under the Plan is denied in whole or in part, the claimant will receive written notification from the Company within ninety (90) days following receipt of such claim by the Administrator. The notification will include specific
reasons for the denial, specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan, a description of any additional material or information necessary to process the claim and why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the
claims review procedure. 
 7.7 Review Procedure. Within ninety (90) days after the claim is denied, a claimant (or his duly
authorized representative) may file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim. The claimant may review pertinent documents that were used in processing his claim, submit pertinent documents, and address issues and
comments in writing to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify the claimant of the final decision in writing within forty-five (45) days following receipt of such written request by the Administrator. In this response, the
Administrator will explain the reason for the decision, with specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision was based. 

7.8 Legal Claims. In no event may a claimant commence legal action for benefits the claimant believes are due the claimant until the
claimant has exhausted all of the remedies and procedures afforded the claimant by this Article VII. No such legal action may be commenced more than two (2) years after the date of the Administrator’s final review decision, described in
Section 7.7 above. 
 7.9 Participant and Beneficiary Information. Each Participant shall keep the Administrator informed of his
current address and the current address of his designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. The Administrator shall not be obligated to search for any person. 

  
 13 

 If such person is not located within two (2) years after the date on which payment of the Participant’s
benefits payable under the Plan may first be made, payment may be made as though the Participant or his Beneficiary had died at the end of such two (2) year period. 

ARTICLE VIII 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

8.1 Amendment and Termination. The Company shall have the right, at any time, to amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part
provided that such amendment or termination shall not adversely affect the right of any Participant or Beneficiary to payment of the Participant’s Regular Account and/or Special Account balances, including amounts earned but not yet credited to
such accounts. If the Plan is discontinued with respect to future credits to the Participant’s Regular Account, the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account Balance shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article V.
If the Plan is completely terminated by the Company, each Participant shall receive distribution of his entire vested Supplemental Retirement Account Balance in one lump sum cash payment as of the date of the Plan termination as designated by the
Administrator, provided that (i) no payments other than those payable under the terms of the Plan absent a termination of the Plan are made within 12 months after the Plan termination and all payments are made within 24 months of the
termination of the Plan and (ii) such termination otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. 

ARTICLE IX 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

9.1 Right of the Company to Take Employment Actions. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract between the Company and any Participant, nor to be a consideration for, nor an inducement or condition of, the employment of any person. Nothing herein contained, or any action taken hereunder, shall be deemed to give any Participant the
right to be retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any Participant at any time, nor shall it be deemed to give to the Company the right to require the Participant to remain in its employ, nor
shall it interfere with the Participant’s right to terminate his or her employment at any time. Nothing in the Plan shall prevent the Company from amending, modifying, or terminating any other benefit plan. 

9.2 Alienation or Assignment of Benefits. A Participant’s rights and interest under the Plan shall not be assigned or transferred
except as otherwise provided herein, and the Participant’s rights to benefit payments under the Plan shall not be subject to alienation, pledge or garnishment by or on behalf of creditors (including heirs, beneficiaries, or dependents) of the
Participant or of a Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Administrator may direct distributions pursuant to the Plan to an alternate payee pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), as defined in Section 414(p) of the
Code, prior to any distribution date described in the Plan.

the right to purchase from CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) 

[                ] shares of its common stock, par value $0.01
(the “Common Stock”), at the price of $[—] per share 
 pursuant to and subject to the
provisions of the CommScope Holding Company, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and to the terms and conditions set forth on the following pages (the “Terms and Conditions”). By accepting the Option, Optionee shall be deemed
to have agreed to the Terms and Conditions set forth in this Award Certificate and the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan. 

Time-Vesting Options:                      

Performance-Vesting Options:                     

 The Time-Vesting Options and the Performance-Vesting Options may be referred to herein collectively as the “Option.” 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CommScope Holding Company, Inc., acting by and through its duly authorized officers, has caused this Award Certificate to be duly
executed. 
  

							
	COMMSCOPE HOLDING COMPANY, INC.	 	
				
	By:	 	 	 	Grant Date: 	 	 

  

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

1. Vesting of Time-Vesting Options. Unless vesting is accelerated in the discretion of the Committee or as provided below in this Section 1,
the Time-Vesting Options shall vest (become exercisable) as to [—]% ([—] Shares) on each of the first
[—] anniversaries of [—], provided that Optionee remains in Continuous Status as a Participant on each such vesting date. All outstanding
Time-Vesting Options shall vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of a Liquidity Event. 
 2. Vesting of
Performance-Vesting Options. Unless vesting is accelerated in the discretion of the Committee, the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest as follows: 

(a) Annual Performance Based Vesting. Up to [—] percent ([—]%) of the Performance-Vesting Options shall be eligible to vest and become exercisable each Fiscal Year [—] through [—] (each, a “Performance Year”), as follows (such vesting, the “Annual Performance-Based Vesting”): 

(i) 0% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA for the applicable Performance Year is less than
Financing Case EBITDA; 
 (ii) [—]% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the
Board determines that EBITDA for the applicable Performance Year is equal to Financing Case EBITDA; 
 (iii) Between [—]% and [—]% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA for the applicable Performance Year is between the Financing
Case EBITDA and Target Case EBITDA (the portion of the Performance-Vesting Options that shall vest and become exercisable in the applicable Performance Year being determined by the Board using linear interpolation); 

(iv) [—]% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA
for the applicable Performance Year is equal to or exceeds Target Case EBITDA. 
 Annual Performance-Based Vesting for a given Performance Year, if any,
shall occur on the date on which the Board determines the Company’s EBITDA for such Performance Year and certifies the level of vesting pursuant to this Section 2(a). 

(b) Catch-Up Vesting; Carry-Forward Vesting. Except as provided below, the Performance-Vesting Options which would otherwise fail to
become vested and exercisable in accordance with Section 2(a) shall be eligible for vesting in accordance with this Section 2(b). 

(i) If EBITDA for a Performance Year exceeds the Target Case EBITDA for such year, an amount equal to the excess of EBITDA over the Target
Case EBITDA (the “Excess Amount”) shall be applied to EBITDA of any previous Performance Year for which the Annual Performance-Based Vesting was not met in full (starting with the earliest such Performance Year and moving forward). To the
extent such Excess

 
Amount causes a previous Performance Year’s Financing Case EBITDA or Target Case EBITDA to be met in accordance with Section 2(a) (or causes an additional amount to vest by linear
interpolation for performance between the Financing Case EBITDA and Target Case EBITDA), the portion of the Performance-Vesting Option that would have vested in such Performance Year shall vest and become exercisable on the date the applicable
Excess Amount that causes such Performance-Vesting Option to vest is determined by the Board. 
 (ii) In the event that the Target Case
EBITDA of all previous Performance Years was met in full (including as a result of this subsection), an amount equal to the Excess Amount that is not applied to EBITDA of any previous Performance Year shall be applied, without duplication, to the
EBITDA for the subsequent year(s). However, any Excess Amount applied to the EBITDA for a future year shall not accelerate the vesting and exercisability of the applicable Performance-Vesting Option to a date prior to the date in which the
applicable portion of the Performance-Vesting Option was first eligible to become vested and exercisable in accordance with Section 2(a). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(b), in no event shall more than [—]% of the
Performance-Vesting Options vest and become exercisable with respect to any Performance Year as a result of this Section 2(b). 
 (c)
Liquidity Event Vesting. Except as provided below, a percentage of Performance-Vesting Options shall vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of a Liquidity Event if Liquidity Proceeds in a Liquidity Event equal or
exceed a certain return on the Investment, as follows: 
 (i) If, in connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity Proceeds are equal to 2.0
times the Investment, the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest and become exercisable with respect to that percentage of the Performance-Vesting Options equal to the excess, if any, of (x) 40% of the Performance-Vesting Options, and
(y) the percentage of Performance-Vesting Options that vested pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) prior to the date of the Liquidity Event; 

(ii) If, in connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity Proceeds are between 2.0 times the Investment and 2.5 times the Investment, then the
Board will use linear interpolation to determine the portion of the Performance-Vesting Options that will vest and become exercisable, which portion shall be between 40% and 60% of the Performance-Vesting Options less the percentage of
Performance-Vesting Options that vested pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) prior to the date of the Liquidity Event; 
 (iii) If, in
connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity Proceeds are equal to 2.5 times the Investment, the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest and become exercisable with respect to that percentage of the Performance-Vesting Options equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) 60% of the Performance-Vesting Options, and (y) the percentage of Performance-Vesting Options that vested pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) prior to the date of the Liquidity Event; 

(iv) If, in connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity Proceeds are between 2.5 times the Investment and 3.0 times the Investment, then the
Board will use linear 

 

  

					
		 	- 2 -	 	

 
interpolation to determine the portion of the Performance-Vesting Options that will vest and become exercisable, which portion shall be between 60% and 80% of the Performance-Vesting Options
less the percentage of Performance-Vesting Options that vested pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) prior to the date of the Liquidity Event; 

(v) If, in connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity Proceeds are equal to 3.0 times the Investment, the Performance-Vesting Options shall
vest and become exercisable with respect to that percentage of the Performance-Vesting Options equal to the excess, if any, of (x) 80% of the Performance-Vesting Options, and (y) the percentage of Performance-Vesting Options that vested
pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) prior to the date of the Liquidity Event; 
 (vi) If, in connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity
Proceeds are between 3.0 times the Investment and 3.5 times the Investment, then the Board will use linear interpolation to determine the portion of the Performance-Vesting Options that will vest and become exercisable, which portion shall be
between 80% and 100% of the Performance-Vesting Options less the percentage of Performance-Vesting Options that vested pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) prior to the date of the Liquidity Event; and 

(vii) If, in connection with a Liquidity Event, Liquidity Proceeds are equal to or greater than 3.5 times the Investment, the
Performance-Vesting Options shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of the Liquidity Event. 
 3. Adjustments in
EBITDA Targets. In the event of an acquisition of any business, line of business or assets by the Company after the Grant Date, the Board may, subject to Section 10.2 of the Plan, in good faith and in such manner as it may deem equitable,
adjust the EBITDA Targets specified in Appendix A to reflect the projected effect of such transaction(s) or event(s) on the EBITDA Targets. In the event that, after the Grant Date, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that any
disposition of any business, line of business or assets by the Company, any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse
stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the
Company, any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or change in applicable laws, regulations, or changes in generally accepted accounting principles applicable to, or the
accounting policies used by, the Company has occurred such that an adjustment to the EBITDA Targets is determined by the Board to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made
available with respect to the Option, then the Board may, subject to Section 10.2 of the Plan, in good faith and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the EBITDA Targets specified in Appendix A to reflect the projected effect
of such transaction(s) or event(s) on the EBITDA Targets. 

 4. Term of Option and Limitations on Right to Exercise. The term of the Option will be for a period of [—] years, expiring at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the [—] anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). To the extent not previously
exercised, the Option will lapse prior to the Expiration Date upon the earliest to occur of the following circumstances: 
 (a)three months
after the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as a Participant for any reason other than (i) for Cause or (ii) by reason of Optionee’s death or Disability; 

(b) twelve months after the date of the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as a Participant by reason of his or her Disability;

 (c) twelve months after Optionee’s death, if (i) Optionee dies during his or her Continuous Status as a Participant and before
the Option otherwise expires, or (ii) Optionee dies during the three-month period described in subsection (a) above and before the Option otherwise expires or (iii) Optionee dies during the twelve-month period described in subsection
(b) above and before the Option otherwise expires (upon Optionee’s death, the Option may be exercised by Optionee’s estate or other beneficiary designated pursuant to the Plan); or 

(d) immediately upon the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as a Participant if such termination is for Cause; or 

(e) except as otherwise determined by the Committee, immediately upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. 

The Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Option under the circumstances described in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above,
extend the time to exercise the Option as determined by the Committee in writing, but in no event may the Option be extended beyond the Expiration Date. If Optionee or his or her beneficiary exercises an Option after termination of service, the
Option may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on Optionee’s termination of service. 
 In the
event of an IPO, the Committee will determine whether any changes to terms and conditions of the Options may be appropriate, subject to Section 11.2 of the Plan. 

5. Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercised by (a) written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee at the
address and in the form specified by the Company from time to time and (b) payment to the Company in full for the Shares subject to such exercise. If the person exercising an Option is not Optionee, such person shall also deliver with the
notice of exercise appropriate proof of his or her right to exercise the Option. Payment for such Shares shall be (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery (actual or by attestation) of Shares previously acquired by the purchaser, (iii) by
withholding of Shares from the Option, or (iv) any combination thereof, for the number of Shares specified in such written notice; provided that payment pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be subject to any contractual or
legal limitations or restrictions imposed on the Company (including under any credit or similar agreement). Shares surrendered or withheld for this purpose shall be valued at their fair market value as

 

  

					
		 	- 3 -	 	

 determined in good faith by the Committee on the date of exercise and without any discounts for minority
interests, restrictions on transfer, illiquidity or lack of marketability and taking into account valuation analysis used to determine the exercise price of options issued in close proximity to the applicable exercise date. 

6. Withholding. The Company or any employer Affiliate has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Optionee to remit to the
employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including Optionee’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the exercise of the Option. Subject to any
contractual or legal limitations or restrictions imposed on the Company (including under any credit or similar agreement), the withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Option Shares having a Fair Market
Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Company establishes. 

7. Restrictions on Transfer and Pledge. No right or interest of Optionee in the Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor
of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of Optionee to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. The Option is not assignable or transferable by Optionee other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers. The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or any permitted transferee. 

8. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion, that registration, listing or
qualification of the Shares covered by the Option upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of
the Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 

9. Stockholders Agreement; Registration Rights Agreement. As a condition to the issuance of Shares of Stock hereunder, Optionee agrees that such
Shares shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in any Stockholders Agreement by and among the Company and the Company’s stockholders and in any Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the
Company’s stockholders and that Optionee will become a party to and subject to such Stockholders Agreement and such Registration Rights Agreement. 

10. Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Award Certificate and this Award Certificate
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Award Certificate, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and
determinative. 

 11. Successors. This Award Certificate shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in
accordance with the terms of this Award Certificate and the Plan. 
 12. Notice. Notices hereunder must be in writing, delivered personally or

non-cash consideration that has been converted into cash to have been received for at least 50% of the total number of equity securities of the Company sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed, directly or indirectly, by the Principal

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

1. Vesting of Time-Vesting Options. Unless vesting is accelerated in the discretion of the Committee or as provided below in this Section 1,
the Time-Vesting Options shall vest (become exercisable) on the [—] anniversary of Grant Date, provided that Optionee remains in Continuous Status as a Participant on such vesting date. All
outstanding Time-Vesting Options shall vest and become fully exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of a Liquidity Event. 
 2.
Vesting of Performance-Vesting Options. Unless vesting is accelerated in the discretion of the Committee, the Performance-Vesting Options shall be eligible to vest and become exercisable for Fiscal Year
[—] (the “Performance Year”), as follows (such vesting, the “Annual Performance-Based Vesting”): 

(i) [—]% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA
for the Performance Year is less than [—]% of Target EBITDA; 
 (ii) [—]% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA for the Performance Year is equal to [—]% of Target EBITDA; 

(iii) Between [—]% and [—]% of the
Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA for the Performance Year is between [—]% of Target EBITDA and 100% of Target EBITDA (the portion of the Performance-Vesting
Options shall vest and become exercisable in the Performance Year being determined by the Board to the nearest tenth of a percentage point using linear interpolation); 

(iv) 100% of the Performance-Vesting Options shall vest if the Board determines that EBITDA for the Performance Year is equal to or exceeds
100% of Target EBITDA. 
 Annual Performance-Based Vesting for the Performance Year, if any, shall occur on the date on which the Board determines the
Company’s EBITDA for such Performance Year and certifies the level of vesting pursuant to this Section 2.

 All outstanding Performance-Vesting Options shall vest and become fully exercisable immediately prior to the
effective date of a Liquidity Event occurring during the Performance Year. 
 3. Adjustments in Target EBITDA. In the event of an acquisition
of any business, line of business or assets by the Company after the Grant Date, the Board may, subject to Section 10.2 of the Plan, in good faith and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust Target EBITDA to reflect the projected effect
of such transaction(s) or event(s) on the Target EBITDA. In the event that, after the Grant Date, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that any disposition of any business, line of business or assets by the Company, any dividend or other
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company or the
financial statements of the Company, or change in applicable laws, regulations, or changes in generally accepted accounting principles applicable to, or the accounting policies used by, the Company has occurred such that an adjustment to the Target
EBITDA is determined by the Board to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with respect to the Option, then the Board may, subject to Section 10.2 of the
Plan, in good faith and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the Target EBITDA to reflect the projected effect of such transaction(s) or event(s) on the Target EBITDA. 

4. Term of Option and Limitations on Right to Exercise. The term of the Option will be for a period of
[—] years, expiring at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the [—] anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). To the extent not
previously exercised, the Option will lapse prior to the Expiration Date upon the earliest to occur of the following circumstances:

three months after the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as a Participant for any reason other than (i) for Cause or (ii) by reason of Optionee’s death or Disability; 

(b) twelve months after the date of the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as a Participant by reason of his or her Disability;

 

  

					
		 	- 3 -	 	

 (c) twelve months after Optionee’s death, if (i) Optionee dies during his or her
Continuous Status as a Participant and before the Option otherwise expires, or (ii) Optionee dies during the three-month period described in subsection (a) above and before the Option otherwise expires or (iii) Optionee dies during
the twelve-month period described in subsection (b) above and before the Option otherwise expires (upon Optionee’s death, the Option may be exercised by Optionee’s estate or other beneficiary designated pursuant to the Plan); or 

(d) immediately upon the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as a Participant if such termination is for Cause; or 

(e) except as otherwise determined by the Committee, immediately upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. 

The Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Option under the circumstances described in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above,
extend the time to exercise the Option as determined by the Committee in writing, but in no event may the Option be extended beyond the Expiration Date. If Optionee or his or her beneficiary exercises an Option after termination of service, the
Option may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on Optionee’s termination of service. 
 In the
event of an IPO, the Committee will determine whether any changes to terms and conditions of the Options may be appropriate, subject to Section 11.2 of the Plan. 

5. Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercised by (a) written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee
at the address and in the form specified by the Company from time to time and (b) payment to the Company in full for the Shares subject to such exercise. If the person exercising an Option is not Optionee, such person shall also deliver with
the notice of exercise appropriate proof of his or her right to exercise the Option. Payment for such Shares shall be (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery (actual or by attestation) of Shares previously acquired by the purchaser, (iii) by
withholding of Shares from the Option, or (iv) any combination thereof, for the number of Shares specified in such written notice; provided that payment pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be subject to any contractual or
legal limitations or restrictions imposed on the Company (including under any credit or similar agreement). Shares surrendered or withheld for this purpose shall be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Committee on
the date of exercise and without any discounts for minority interests, restrictions on transfer, illiquidity or lack of marketability and taking into account valuation analysis used to determine the exercise price of options issued in close
proximity to the applicable exercise date. 
 6. Withholding. The Company or any employer Affiliate has the authority and the right to deduct
or withhold, or require Optionee to remit to the employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including Optionee’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a
result of the exercise of the Option. Subject to any contractual or legal limitations or restrictions imposed on the Company (including under any credit or similar agreement),

 
the withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Option Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not
any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Company establishes. 
 7. Restrictions
on Transfer and Pledge. No right or interest of Optionee in the Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of
Optionee to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. The Option is not assignable or transferable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers. The
Option may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or any permitted transferee. 
 8. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.
If at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion, that registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by the Option upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of
any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have
been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 
 9. Stockholders Agreement; Registration Rights Agreement.
As a condition to the issuance of Shares of Stock hereunder, Optionee agrees that such Shares shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in any Stockholders Agreement by and among the Company and the Company’s
stockholders and in any Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the Company’s stockholders and that Optionee will become a party to and subject to such Stockholders Agreement and such Registration Rights Agreement. 

10. Plan Controls. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Award Certificate and this Award Certificate
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Award Certificate, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and
determinative.

party hereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A (the “Credit Agreement”), except that (i) EBITDA for purposes of this Certificate will exclude any future credit or push back in to historical periods of operating expense reductions and other

Principal Stockholder. In the event the Principal Stockholder receives non-cash consideration (including stock) in connection with a transaction that would have otherwise qualified as a “Liquidity Event” if a sufficient portion of the
consideration received had been cash, then a Liquidity Event shall be deemed to have

 
occurred for purposes of this Award at the time the Principal Stockholder converts such part of the non-cash consideration into cash as is sufficient to cause the cash consideration plus the
non-cash consideration that has been converted into cash to have been received for at least 50% of the total number of equity securities of the Company sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed, directly or indirectly, by the Principal
