MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN DOCUMENT
Fiscal Year 2008
Plan Name and Effective Date
The name of this Plan is the ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Management Incentive Plan. The plan is effective from November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008.
Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to provide, with full regard to the protection of shareholder’s investments, a direct financial incentive for eligible managers to make a significant contribution to ADC’s established annual goals.
Eligibility
Eligibility for Fiscal Year 2008 is limited to full or part-time regular employees in the U.S. and in such other countries where ADC has specifically notified employees of eligibility for participation in the Plan. Eligibility for participation in this Plan is limited to such employees who hold executive officer and certain management positions reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. The CEO does not participate in the Plan. In order to be eligible, an employee cannot participate in any other ADC incentive plan, except as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and must be employed in an eligible position on or before October 1, 2008.
Timing of Payment
Payments that become due under this Plan are made as soon as administratively feasible following the close of ADC’s fiscal year, but within seventy-five days of that event, generally in late December or early January. All payments are subject to appropriate withholdings.
Plan Goals
The Plan reinforces the key goals that support ADC’s long-term strategic plans. The key factors in ADC’s FY08 corporate success are Pro Forma Operating Income and Net Sales. These factors are the same for ADC’s operating units: Global Connectivity Solutions, Active Infrastructure, and APS. Accounting methodology changes may dictate corresponding goal modifications during the plan year. Additionally, beginning with FY2008, each participant will be eligible for a portion of his/her MIP based upon individual contribution.

Following is a description of the Plan’s financial components:
           
 
  Plan Goal     Definition  
  Pro Forma Operating Income    
Net Sales less all relevant expenses incurred to produce the products or deliver services. Expenses include direct material and labor costs as well as regional and Business Unit costs, including engineering, sales & marketing expenses, and corporate overhead costs. Pro Forma Operating Income does not include interest income, interest expense, income tax or other non-operating income. It also excludes restructuring and other one-time expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing business.

Corporate overhead costs not directly attributable to the Business Unit are assessed as a shared service charge set at a fixed percentage of Revenue. ADC-level Pro Forma Operating Income will reflect absorption of ALL corporate expenses including variances above or below the level of the shared service charge.
 
  Net Sales / Revenue    
The amount ADC can recognize in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for goods shipped or services provided to third party customers, net of returns received and discounts.
 
 
NOTE: For the Business Units, Net Sales, and Pro-Forma Operating Income are measured on Plan foreign exchange rates.
Goal Weightings
Executives participating in the Plan will have the following business/corporate weightings:
                                   
 
        75% of Total Award    
        Business       OI Metric       Net Sales    
        Weight               Metric    
 
BU Leader
    50% BU       50 %       25 %  
 
 
    50% ADC       50 %       25 %  
 
 
                               
 
Corporate Function Leader
    100% ADC       50 %       25 %  
 
For purposes of this Plan, Global Connectivity Solutions, Active Infrastructure and APS will be treated as separate Business Units.
Individual Performance
Beginning with the FY08 fiscal year, each participant will have twenty-five percent (25%) of their target MIP award tied to one (1) to three (3) individual goals mutually agreed upon by the participant and the CEO. Achievement of the agreed-upon goals yields a 100% award payout. An additional overachievement award may be made as recommended by the CEO at his sole discretion to the Compensation Committee. The maximum individual performance award is 50% of the participant’s total target MIP award.
Modifications may be made to individual goals before September 1, 2008. Documentation must occur for any changes made to an existing plan and approval of the CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Human Resources must occur. Undocumented modifications of individual plans will not be honored for award payment.
