This grant was previouly reported as covering 28,200 shares, but was adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split on May 10, 2005.
(4) The reporting person also indirectly owns 3,519 phantom stock units which were accrued under the registrant's 401(k) Excess Plan and are to be settled in cash upon reporting person's retirement; conversion rate = One-for-One. The information herein is based on a statement dated as of 9/30/05. This had previously been reported as 23,262 phantom stock units as of 12/31/04, but have been adjusted to reflect the split.
(5) Phantom Stock Units issued under the ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Global Stock Incentive Plan. Generally, full vesting of these units occurs upon the attainment of certain performance goals by the Company at the end of a three-year measurement period. If the Company does not meet the specified performance goals, the award is forfeited. The units of phantom stock will be settled, one-for-one, in shares of common stock upon vesting.
(6) Grant date 11/27/02; options were granted in the same transaction and have been split into an incentive stock option and a non-qualified option for tax purposes. These options are full vested. These options were previously reported as covering a total of 160,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.26 per share, but have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on May 10, 2005.
(7) Grant date 12/16/04; options were granted in the same transaction and have been split into an incentive stock option and a non-qualified option for tax purposes. In the aggregate, options will vest one-quarter per year beginning December 16, 2005.

(8) Grant date 3/3/04; options were granted in the same transaction and have been split into an incentive stock option and a non-qualified option for tax purposes. In the aggregate, options will vest one-quarter per year beginning March 3, 2005.

(9) Grant date 11/1/01; options are 100% exercisable. Options were granted in the same transaction and have been split into an incentive stock option and a non-qualified option for tax purposes. These options were previously reported as covering a total of 82,300 shares at an exercise price of $4.37 per share, but have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on May 10, 2005.
(10) Grant date 12/29/03; options become exercisable in four equal installments commencing six months after the grant date and on each six month anniversary thereafter. These options were previously reported as 10 separate grants covering a total of 336,082 shares at an exercise price of $2.83 per share. Because the options all have the same exercise price and vesting schedule they are now being reported on a consolidated basis. The reporting has also been adjusted to reflect ADC's 1-for-7 reverse stock spilt that became effective on May 10, 2005.
(11) The Phantom Stock Units were issued under the ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Global Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
