BUSINESS GENERAL Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets a variety of standard and proprietary commercial electronic signal generating and receiving equipment. The Company's products connect information generators with information users via broadband terrestrial and satellite networks, and include applications for the converging cable, telephone, and data networks. The Company identified Communications and Instrumentation as its major business segments in prior years and provided business segment information related to sales, operating profit, assets, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization and backlog. The customer base, marketing strategies, technology to support new product development and manufacturing processes for utility load management products and measurement and control systems have recently become more closely aligned with those of the Communications segment and, accordingly, management and operations which support these products and services were moved into the Communications segment from the Instrumentation segment. In addition, sales of electronic equipment such as sonar and microwave energy products, particularly sales of government and defense related products, supplied by the Instrumentation segment have recently declined. As a result, the Company now operates primarily in one business segment, Communications, providing satellite and terrestial based networks to a range of customers and applications and network management and systems integration to add value to those networks. This segment represents approximately 90 percent of consolidated sales, operating profit and identifiable assets. The Company has evolved from a manufacturer of electronic test equipment for antennas and electronics for the cable industry to a producer of a wide variety of products for terrestrial and satellite communications networks, including digital video, voice and data communications products. The Company's products include receivers, transmitters, distribution amplifiers, modulators, demodulators, signal encoders and decoders, controllers, signal processors, set-top (home communications) terminals, digital audio terminals, fiber optic distribution equipment, and satellite earth station antennas. These products, and integrated systems and networks using these and other products, are sold to CATV system operators, telephone companies, communications carriers, communications network operators, and multi-facility business organizations which use communications satellites for intracompany communications. Sales are also made to independent system integrators, distributors and dealers who resell to some of the above types of customers. The Company sells modulators, demodulators and signal processors for video and audio receiving stations (often referred to as "headend" systems), products for distributing communications signals by coaxial cable and fiber optics from headend systems to subscribers, set-top terminals that enable television sets to receive all channels transmitted by system operators, and interdiction equipment which enables connections, disconnections and changes in service to be made from the headend. The Company's set-top terminals include units which are addressable from the headend system so as to permit control of channel authorizations, including authorizations for pay-per-view events, impulse ordering and automatic recording of billing information at the cable operator's central facility, and menu-driven volume controllable units. The Company manufactures equipment for transmitting compact-disc quality music programming via satellite and cable media. Sales of set-top terminals constituted approximately 21 % of the Company's total sales for fiscal year 1994, and approximately 18 % and 20 % of such sales in each of the fiscal years 1993 and 1992, respectively. Proprietary software used in the terminals, as well as system manager software at the headend system, was developed by the Company and is updated from time to time. The Company's new digital home communications terminals will enable subscribers to access new services such as advanced pay-for-view ordering of special events and movies, fully interactive home shopping services, electronic program guides and more. Other computer-based systems designed and delivered by the Company are used to distribute video information for other business users. These include airline information systems which link video terminals and cameras in an airport under a central control. -1- 3 The Company's products, both analog and digital, are being utilized by the Company's traditional cable operator customers to upgrade their networks to provide new services and by the Regional Bell Operating Companies to build new video, voice and data networks. They are also utilized by electric utilities in load management systems which monitor and control power usage and monitor power outages. The Company's satellite earth stations receive and transmit signals for video, voice and data and are utilized in satellite-band telephone, data and television distribution networks. Some of these earth stations are part of national and international communications systems which communicate by means of a satellite with earth stations in other countries or with other earth stations in the same national network. Earth stations in these systems may be connected with local telephone, teletype, television or other terrestrial communications networks. The Company's earth stations, signal encoders and decoders, packet switches and controllers are also used in private business networks for the exchange of audio, video and data via satellite among various office, manufacturing and sales facilities and for the delivery of television programming to hotels, motels and apartment complexes. The Company's data communications product offerings include private interactive data systems using VSAT (very small aperture terminal) technology. The Company designs, manufactures and sells digital video compression communications products for direct satellite broadcast and cable television systems and digital storage and retrieval products for applications such as ad insertion for television broadcasters and cable operators. The Company's compression products utilize the open architecture MPEG-2 technology developed by an international standards group. MPEG-2 digital equipment allows cable, telephone, computer and consumer electronics products and systems to operate together across networks and in the home. The Company's satellite products and systems include tracking and telemetry equipment, earth observation satellite ground stations, shipboard and command telephony and facsimile communications products and intercept systems. The Company produces telemetry instruments, radar platforms, special receivers, special measurement devices and other equipment used to track aircraft, missiles, satellites and other moving objects and to communicate with and receive and record various measurements and other data from the object. The Company develops services and applications which can be utilized by its customers on their terrestrial and satellite-based networks. Applications recently introduced include a system which enables power companies to detect power failures automatically, telephony capability over cable networks, interactive systems for video conferencing, retail banking and distance learning and interactive video games. OTHER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. The Company produces advanced products and systems that measure, analyze or control processes associated with acoustics, signal analysis and machinery diagnostics. Their applications range from sonars and anti-submarine warfare analysis tools to vibration and acoustic analyzers used to measure jet engine vibration, helicopter rotor wing trim and balance and non-intrusive medical testing. Products include acoustic systems, machinery diagnostic systems, signal processors and trainers and are used in engineering design, structural evolution, accoustic and electronic testing and turbine engine balancing. The Company's microwave instrumentation systems are used to design and manufacture antennas for communication and radar systems. Products include pattern recorders, receivers, positioners and various display units, which measure, record and display various characteristics of antennas such as signal pattern, gain, phase, amplitude and frequency. MARKETING AND SALES The Company's products are sold primarily through its own sales personnel who work out of offices in Atlanta and other metropolitan areas in the United States. Certain products are also marketed in the United States through independent sales representatives and distributors. Sales in foreign countries are made through wholly-owned subsidiaries and branch offices, as well as through independent distributors and sales representatives. The Company's management personnel are also actively involved in marketing and sales activities. -2- 4 GOVERNMENT AND FOREIGN SALES The Company's sales to units of the United States Government constituted 11% of the Company's sales for fiscal year 1993 and 12% for fiscal year 1992. Such sales were less than 10% during fiscal year 1994. The Company's sales to customers in foreign countries constituted 33%, 26% and 27% of the Company's total sales for fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Substantially all of these sales were export sales. Foreign subsidiary sales were not material for any of these fiscal years. Sales to no one geographic area constituted 10 % of the Company's total sales during those years. BACKLOG The Company's backlog consists of unfilled customer orders believed to be firm and long-term contracts which have not been completed. The Company's backlog as of July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993 was $405,860,000 and $272,629,000, respectively. The Company believes that approximately 90 % of the backlog existing at July 1, 1994 will be shipped within the succeeding fiscal year. The Company includes in its backlog with respect to long-term contracts only amounts representing orders currently released for production. The amount contained in backlog for any contract or order may not be the total amount of the contract or order. The amount of the Company's backlog at any time does not reflect expected revenues for any fiscal period. PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND PATENTS The Company conducts an active research and development program to strengthen and broaden its existing products and systems and to develop new products and systems. The Company's development strategy is to identify products and systems which are, or are expected to be, needed by substantial numbers of customers in the Company's markets and to allocate a greater share of its research and development resources to areas with the highest potential for future benefits to the Company. In addition, the Company develops specific applications related to its present technology. Expenditures in fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992 were principally for development of commercial cable and telephone digital products, satellite network products and interactive data communications products. In fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company's research and development expenses were approximately $60,417,000, $60,161,000 and $52,267,000, respectively. The Company holds patents with respect to certain of its products and actively seeks to obtain patent protection for significant inventions and developments. MANUFACTURING The Company develops, designs, fabricates, manufactures, assembles or acquires its products. Manufacturing operations range from complete assembly of a particular product by one individual or small group of individuals to semi-automated assembly lines for volume production. Because many of the Company's products include precision electronic components requiring close tolerances, the Company maintains rigorous and exacting test and inspection procedures designed to prevent production errors, and also constantly reviews its overall production techniques to enhance productivity and reliability. The Company's set-top terminals and certain pole-line hardware for the CATV industry are manufactured by contract vendors with high-quality, high-volume production facilities. In addition to such manufacturing by contract vendors, the Company plans to commence its own manufacturing of set-top terminals in 1995. MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES The materials and supplies purchased by the Company are standard electronic components, such as custom integrated circuits, wire, circuit boards, transistors, capacitors and resistors, all of which are produced by a number of manufacturers. The principal suppliers of the Company's set-top terminals and active solid state components are Matsushita Electronic Components Co., Ltd. and Motorola, Inc., respectively. The Company also purchases aluminum and steel, including castings and semi-fabricated items produced by a variety of sources. The Company considers its sources of -3- 5 supply to be adequate and is not dependent upon any single supplier, except for Matsushita Electronic Components Co., Ltd., for any significant portion of the materials used in the products it manufactures. EMPLOYEES The Company had approximately 4,000 employees on July 1, 1994. The Company believes its employee relations are satisfactory. COMPETITION The businesses in which the Company is engaged are highly competitive. The Company competes with companies which have substantially greater resources and a larger number of products, as well as with smaller specialized companies. Some of the Company's customers are in businesses closely related to the production of such products and are, therefore, potential competitors of the Company. The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully results from its marketing strategy, engineering skills, ability to provide quality products at competitive prices and broad coverage by its sales personnel. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company owns office and manufacturing facilities in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, and San Diego, California, which comprise four plants containing a total of approximately 412,400 square feet. The Company also owns approximately 128 acres of land in Gwinnett County, Georgia, where antenna test ranges and a hub station used in providing interactive data communications services are located and 219 acres of land in Walton County, Georgia, held for future antenna test range expansion. The Company presently owns one building and leases two buildings in San Diego County, California, which are not required for present operations and are under sublease to other tenants. Additional major manufacturing facilities containing an aggregate of approximately 200,800 square feet are leased by the Company at the following locations under leases expiring (including renewal options) from 1995 to 2002:

(a Georgia corporation) and subsidiaries as of July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993 and the related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 1994 appearing on pages 13, 17 and 19, respectively. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As explained in Notes 9 and 10 to the financial statements, effective June 27, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes, postretirement and postemployment benefits. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in Item 14(a)(2) of this Form 10-K are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Atlanta, Georgia, ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP August 4, 1994 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. (the Company) has the responsibility for preparing the accompanying financial statements and for their integrity and objectivity. The statements, which include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments, have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are free of material misstatement. Management also prepared the other information in the Form 10-K and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the financial statements. The Company maintains a system of internal control over the preparation of its published annual and interim financial statements. It should be recognized that even an effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation of reliable financial statements; further, because of changes in conditions, internal control system effectiveness may vary over time. Management assessed the Company's system of internal control in relation to criteria for effective internal control over the preparation of its published annual and interim financial statements. Based on its assessment, it is management's opinion that its system of internal control as of July 1, 1994 is effective in providing reasonable assurance that its published annual and interim financial statements are free of material misstatement. As part of their audit of our financial statements, Arthur Andersen LLP considered certain elements of our system of internal controls in determining their audit procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements. The audit committee of the board of directors is composed solely of outside directors and is responsible for recommending to the board the independent public accountants to be retained for the year, subject to stockholder approval. The audit committee meets three times each year to review with management the Company's system of internal accounting controls, audit plans and results, accounting principles and practices, and the annual financial statements. /s/ James F. McDonald /s/ Harvey A. Wagner - --------------------- -------------------- James F. McDonald Harvey A. Wagner President and Chief Executive Officer Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer -11- 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION Scientific-Atlanta's financial position was strong at the end of 1994 with stockholders' equity of $395.6 million and cash on hand of $123.4 million. The current ratio of 2.5:1 at July 1, 1994 compared to 3.2:1 at July 2, 1993. Cash generated from earnings and the sale of an investment in International Cablecasting Technologies, Inc. (ICT) was used for capital expenditures, investments in partnerships, the settlement of securities class action litigation and to fund working capital requirements. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS at the end of 1994 were $123.4 million, up from $103.5 million last year. This increase reflects cash generated from operations, the sale of ICT and the issuance of stock pursuant to stock option plans. Ending working capital, excluding cash, was $179.4 million, or 22.1 percent of sales, as compared to 24.2 percent in the prior year. RECEIVABLES were $206.1 million at year-end, compared to $150.9 million at the prior fiscal year-end. The increase reflects the sales growth in 1994. Average days sales outstanding increased to 74 for 1994 from 70 for 1993. INVENTORY TURNOVER was 4.4 times in 1994, compared to 4.6 in the prior year. Inventories of $136.8 million at year-end were $9.4 million higher than at the end of the prior year, reflecting the higher production and sales levels in 1994. See Note I for details. CURRENT DEFERRED INCOME TAXES increased $4.0 million due to increases in nondeductible accrued liabilities. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS, which include prepaid insurance, deposits, royalties, license fees and other miscellaneous prepaid expenses, increased $5.8 million due to higher deposits, royalties and license fees. NET PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT increased by $14.2 million in 1994 as capital spending exceeded depreciation and disposals. Capital additions of $34.9 million included investments for increased capacity and productivity improvements. COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED decreased in 1994, reflecting amortization of goodwill. OTHER ASSETS, which include license fees, investments, noncurrent deferred tax charges, intellectual property, various prepaid expenses and cash surrender value of company-owned life insurance, increased $8.2 million in 1994 due primarily to higher prepaid license fees. See Note 2. TOTAL BORROWINGS at year-end amounted to $7.6 million, up $0.2 million from the prior year. The borrowings include industrial development bonds and working capital loans for foreign subsidiaries. Working capital borrowings increased to support the operations of foreign subsidiaries. Details of borrowings are shown in Note 6. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE were $82.3 million at year-end, up from $47.2 million last year. The increase reflects higher production and inventory levels and an increase to 33 days in accounts payable from 28 in 1993. ACCRUED LIABILITIES of $95.5 million include accruals for compensation, warranty and service, customer downpayments and taxes, excluding income taxes. Higher customer downpayments, accruals for compensation and retirement benefits and other miscellaneous accruals were the principal factors in the year-to-year increase. See Note 7 for details. OTHER LIABILITIES of $41.2 million are comprised of deferred compensation, postretirement benefit plans, postemployment benefits and other miscellaneous accruals. See Note 8 for details. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY was $395.6 million at the end of 1994, up $42.8 million from the prior year. Net earnings of $35.0 million and the issuance of stock grants and stock pursuant to stock option plans of $12.3 million were partially offset by dividends of $4.5 million and a decrease in accumulated translation adjustments. See Note 15 for details of changes in stockholders' equity. RETURN ON AVERAGE STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY for 1994 was 9.5 percent, up from 6.1 percent the prior year, reflecting improved earnings performance. -12- 14 Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., and Subsidiaries Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

See accompanying notes. -13- 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS The Consolidated Statement of Earnings summarizes Scientific-Atlanta's operating performance over the last three years, during which time the company has accelerated development of new products and expanded into international markets. EARNINGS WERE UP $15.0 MILLION OVER 1993. Higher sales and improved margins were the primary factors in the increase. Earnings in 1993 were up $3.7 million over 1992. Higher sales and improved gross margins were the principal factors in the increase. SALES INCREASED 11 PERCENT OVER 1993. Continued strong sales growth in cable television distribution equipment and addressable home communications terminals (converters) and significant improvement in sales of network systems were offset partially by reduced sales due to completion of the PrimeStar television contract, lower digital audio sales and sales of defense related products. International sales increased to 33 percent of total sales in 1994, up from 26 percent in the prior year. Higher sales of cable equipment and network systems contributed to the growth in international sales. Sales in 1993 increased 26 percent over 1992. Strong growth in sales of transmission products, international cable equipment and digital audio products contributed to the improved sales growth. COST OF SALES AS A PERCENT OF SALES DECREASED 2.2 PERCENTAGE POINTS. Mix changes, manufacturing efficiencies, higher margins on addressable converter products and improved program management contributed to the improved margins. Certain material purchases are denominated in yen and accordingly, the purchase price in U.S. dollars is subject to change based on exchange rate changes. Recently the exchange rate for Japanese yen has fallen to a post-war low. The Company has forward exchange contracts to purchase yen to hedge a portion of its purchase commitments for a period of approximately three months. Cost of sales as a percent of sales increased 1.6 percentage points in 1993. Mix changes and costs associated with the launch of new compression products adversely affected margins. SALES AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE INCREASED 3 PERCENT IN 1994. Increases in sales and marketing costs associated with ongoing investments to support expansion into international markets and the introduction of new products were offset slightly by lower administrative costs, primarily professional fees. Sales and administrative expenses as a percent of sales declined to 14.5 percent in 1994 from 15.6 percent in 1993. Sales and administrative expense increased 12 percent in 1993. Increased expenses reflect costs associated with higher sales volumes, ongoing investments to support the introduction of new products and expansion into international markets and higher professional expenses. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES OF $60.4 MILLION WERE UP SLIGHTLY OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. Accelerated research and development activity, particularly, development of digital products, was offset by declines in defense related products and the reallocation of engineering resources from research and development efforts to specific customer orders. The revenue from these orders will be recognized in future periods and, accordingly, the related costs have been inventoried. Product development activity is expected to continue near current levels. Research and development was expanded in 1993 to accelerate new product development, particularly continued development of digital video compression products. INTEREST EXPENSE WAS $1.1 MILLION IN 1994 AND $0.9 MILLION IN 1993. Reductions in interest expense from lower average borrowings and lower interest rates on working capital borrowings by foreign subsidiaries was offset by interest on other obligations, including obligations related to the acquisition of certain assets of Nexus Engineering Corp. INTEREST INCOME WAS $3.2 MILLION IN 1994 AND $2.9 MILLION IN 1993. The increase in interest income reflects higher average cash balances. OTHER EXPENSE WAS $17.4 MILLION IN 1994. Other expense included a $17.5 million charge to settle securities class action litigation, losses of $1.0 million from partnership activities and net gains from other miscellaneous items of $1.1 million. -14- 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS Other income of $0.7 million in 1993 included royalty income, rental income, and other miscellaneous items of $1.7 million and losses from foreign currency transactions of $1.0 million. THE PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES WAS 32 PERCENT OF PRE- TAX EARNINGS IN 1994, 7 PERCENTAGE POINTS HIGHER THAN 1993 AND 1992. The lower provisions in 1993 and 1992 reflect interest income on tax-exempt investments and benefits from international tax planning. Details of the provision for income taxes are discussed in Note 9. ACCOUNTING CHANGES RESULTED IN A CHARGE OF $4.7 MILLION TO EARNINGS IN 1993. Effective as of the first quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 "Postretirement Benefits", SFAS No. 112 "Postemployment Benefits" and SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Charges of $6.7 million and $1.9 million for SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 112, respectively, were partially offset by a credit of $3.9 million for SFAS No. 109, reducing previously reported earnings for the quarter ended September 25, 1992 by $0.06 per share. The adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on income from operations and is not expected to significantly impact earnings in subsequent years. See Notes 9 and 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.46 INCREASED $0.19 AFTER AN INCREASE OF $0.04 IN 1993. Shares outstanding and share equivalents increased 2 percent to 76.6 million in 1994 from 75.1 million in 1993. -15- 17 (This page intentionally left blank.) -16- 18 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS

See accompanying notes. -17- 19 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS The Statement of Cash Flows summarizes the main sources of Scientific-Atlanta's cash and its uses. These flows of cash provided or used are summarized by the Company's operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash on hand at the end of 1994 was $123.4 million. Cash generated from earnings and the sale of ICT was used for capital expenditures, investments in partnerships, the settlement of securities class action litigation and to fund working capital requirements. CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES was $48.5 million for 1994, compared to $19.3 million for 1993. In 1994 and 1993 cash provided by improved earnings and increases in payables was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories. See Management's Discussion of the Statement of Financial Position for details of this performance. CASH USED BY INVESTING ACTIVITIES of $29.4 million during 1994 included $34.9 million for purchases of plant and equipment and $5.2 million for investments in partnerships. Expenditures focused on increased capacity and productivity improvements. Cash provided by investing activities included $11.2 million from the sale of ICT. In 1993 cash used by investing activities included $24.0 million for purchases of plant and equipment and $6.3 million for the purchase of certain net assets of Nexus Engineering Corp. See Note 2 for details. CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES WAS $0.8 MILLION IN 1994. The issuance of stock pursuant to stock option and employee benefit plans and increases in short-term borrowings generated $5.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of cash during the year. Cash provided by financing activities was $21.7 million in 1993. The issuance of stock pursuant to stock option and employee benefit plans and increases in short-term borrowings generated $24.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of cash during the year. -18- 20 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

-20- 22 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FISCAL YEAR END The Company's year ends on the Friday closest to June 30 of each year. Fiscal year ends are as follows: 1994: July 1, 1994 1993: July 2, 1993 1992: June 26, 1992 Fiscal 1993 includes fifty-three weeks. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The financial statements of certain foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of stockholders' equity and excluded from net earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in cost of sales and other income. Such gains and losses were not material during the periods being reported. METHOD OF RECORDING CONTRACT PROFITS Revenues from progress-billed contracts are primarily recorded using the percentage-of-completion method based on contract costs incurred to date. Losses, if any, are recorded when determinable. Costs incurred and accrued profits not billed on these contracts are included in receivables. These receivables from commercial customers and government agencies were $17,628 at July 1, 1994, and $28,524 at July 2, 1993. It is anticipated that substantially all such amounts will be collected within one year. DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is provided using principally the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the respective accounts, and the gains or losses thereon are included in the consolidated statement of earnings. WARRANTY COSTS The Company accrues warranty costs at the time of sale. Expenses related to unusual product warranty problems and product defects are recorded in the period the problem is identified. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and equivalent shares derived from dilutive stock options. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost includes materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Market is defined principally as net realizable value. Inventories include purchased and manufactured components in various stages of assembly as presented in the following table: 1994 1993 ---- ---- Raw Materials and Work-In-Process $ 94,890 $ 71,780 Finished Goods 41,923 55,628 -------- --------- Total Inventory $136,813 $ 127,408 ======== ========= COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED Cost in excess of net assets of businesses acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over seventeen years. FINANCIAL PRESENTATION Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. All per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split effected as a dividend declared in August 1994 and the 3-for-2 stock split effected as a dividend issued in December 1992. 2. INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITION During 1994 the Company entered into partnership agreements in connection with the formation of Comunicaciones Broadband and Scientific-Atlanta of Shanghai, Ltd. and invested $5,240 in the partnerships. The Company's equity in the losses of these partnerships was $345 in 1994. -21- 23 In February 1993 the Company acquired certain net assets of Nexus Engineering Corp. for $6,314 cash and obligations of $4,398 in a purchase transaction. The pro forma effect on operations for prior periods and the effect on 1993 were immaterial. The Company acquired 11 percent of the outstanding common stock of International Cablecasting Technologies, Inc., for a cash investment of $11,334 in August 1991 and acquired additional common stock in 1993 for $387. During 1994, the Company disposed of its investment in ICT for a loss of $549 which was included in other (income) expense. In December 1991 the Company entered into a partnership agreement with a 44 percent partnership interest to form Checkout Channel, L.P. The Company's equity in the losses of Checkout Channel, L.P. was $500 in 1992. The agreement was terminated in July 1992. 3. SALES AND BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION Sales to the United States government were 11 percent and 12 percent of total sales in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Sales were not material to any one customer in 1994. Export sales accounted for 33 percent, 26 percent, and 27 percent of total sales in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Foreign subsidiary sales were not material for any of the three fiscal years presented, nor were they material to any one geographic location. The Company identified Communications and Instrumentation as its major business segments in prior years and provided business segment information related to sales, operating profit, assets, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization and backlog. The customer base, marketing strategies, technology to support new product development and manufacturing processes for utility load management products and measurement and control systems have recently become more closely aligned with those of the Communications segment and, accordingly, management and operations which support these products and services were moved into the Communications segment from the Instrumentation segment. In addition, sales of electronic equipment such as sonar and microwave energy products, particularly sales of government and defense related products, supplied by the Instrumentation segment have recently declined. As a result, the Company now operates primarily in one business segment, Communications, providing satellite and terrestial based networks to a range of customers and applications and network management and systems integration to add value to those networks. This segment represents approximately 90 percent of consolidated sales, operating profit and identifiable assets. 4. OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE Other expense of $17,416 in 1994 included a $17,500 charge to settle securities class action litigation, losses of $992 from partnership activities and net gains from other miscellaneous items of $1,076. Other income of $694 in 1993 included royalty income, rental income and other miscellaneous items of $1,656 and losses from foreign currency transactions of $962. Other income of $271 in 1992 included $2,500 of start-up costs and losses of a terminated partnership offset by gains from foreign currency transactions, the settlement of an insurance claim and other miscellaneous items. 5.

Foreign short-term debt was $6,177 and $5,657 at the end of 1994 and 1993, respectively. The average interest rates for foreign short-term debt at year-end 1994 and 1993 were 8.3 percent and 10.8 percent, respectively. Total interest paid was $1,071, $831 and $586, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 7.

INCOME TAXES The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", effective the first quarter of fiscal 1993. The statement requires that deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. The cumulative effect of this change increased net income by $3,856. Prior to 1993, provisions were made for deferred income taxes where differences existed between the time that transactions affected taxable income and the time that these transactions entered into the determination of income for financial statement purposes. -23- 25 The tax provision differs from the amount resulting from multiplying earnings before income taxes by the statutory federal income tax rate as follows: 1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Statutory federal tax rate 35.0% 34.0% 34.0% State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 4.6 5.6 3.1 Tax reserves 0.5 (8.1) 16.1 Export incentives (2.1) (4.7) (6.1) Exempt interest income (1.9) (3.1) (7.3) Foreign tax adjustment (0.3) (1.1) (11.7) Research and develop- ment tax credit (3.4) -- (5.4) Other, net (0.4) 2.4 2.3 ---- ---- ---- 32.0% 25.0% 25.0% ==== ==== ==== Income tax provision (benefit) includes the following: 1994 1993 1992 --------- -------- -------- Current tax provision Federal $ 14,602 $ 8,131 $ 4,431 State 3,879 3,456 1,093 Foreign 581 467 391 --------- -------- -------- 19,062 12,054 5,915 --------- -------- -------- Deferred tax benefit Federal (1,911) (1,938) (162) State (263) (684) (65) Foreign (408) (1,208) (263) --------- -------- -------- (2,582) (3,830) (490) --------- -------- -------- Total provision for income taxes $ 16,480 $ 8,224 $ 5,425 ========= ======== ======== Total income taxes paid include settlement payments for federal and state audit adjustments. The total income taxes paid were $1,551, $3,464 and $4,072 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The components of the net deferred tax benefit were: 1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Liabilities not currently deductible $(2,857) $ 921 $ 1,132 Income deferred under completed contract method 96 (436) (1,260) Postretirement benefits (599) (786) (722) Tax credit/loss carryforwards (644) (847) (267) Warranty reserves 1,542 (1,084) (763) Inventory valuation (658) (1,914) 1,360 Other 538 316 30 ------- ------- ------- Total deferred tax benefit, net $(2,582) $(3,830) $ (490) ======= ======= ======= The tax effect of significant temporary differences representing deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Current deferred tax assets 1994 1993 ---- ---- Liabilities not currently deductible $15,809 $10,974 Inventory valuation 7,993 7,335 Warranty reserves 2,158 3,668 Bad debt reserves 1,635 1,532 Other 323 410 ------- ------- 27,918 23,919 Valuation allowance -- -- ------- ------- Net current deferred tax asset $27,918 $23,919 ======= ======= Noncurrent deferred tax assets Postretirement and postemployment benefits $12,482 $11,891 Tax credit/loss carryforwards 3,297 2,653 Liabilities not currently deductible 155 2,166 ------- ------- 15,934 16,710 Valuation allowance -- -- ------- ------- Net noncurrent deferred tax asset 15,934 16,710 ------- ------- Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities Depreciation (6,499) (5,827) Other (48) (79) ------- ------- Net noncurrent deferred tax liability (6,547) (5,906) ------- ------- Net noncurrent deferred tax asset $ 9,387 $10,804 ======= ======= The net noncurrent deferred tax asset is included in Other Assets at July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993. In 1994, 1993 and 1992 earnings before income taxes included $2,641, $83 and $402, respectively, of earnings generated by the Company's foreign operations. -24- 26 10. RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its domestic employees. The benefits are based upon the employees' years of service and compensation. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually the amount expensed each year consistent with the requirements of federal law to the extent that such costs are currently deductible. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status, amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at year-end, using March 31 as a measurement date for all actuarial calculations of asset and liability values and significant actuarial assumptions: 1994 1993 ------- -------- Accumulated benefit obligation Vested portion $ 51,699 $ 46,955 Nonvested portion 1,577 2,678 -------- -------- 53,276 49,633 Effect of projected future compensation levels 10,070 7,172 -------- -------- Projected benefit obligation 63,346 56,805 Plan assets at fair value (56,755) (56,930) -------- -------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of (less than) plan assets 6,591 (125) Unrecognized prior service costs 419 534 Unrecognized net gain (loss) (1,035) 2,201 Unrecognized net asset from initial application of SFAS 87 8,336 8,992 Fourth quarter contribution (608) -- -------- ------- Accrued pension cost $ 13,703 $11,602 ======== ======= Discount rate 8.0% 8.0% Rate of increase in future compensation 4.5% 5.5% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 10.0% 8.0% Plan assets are invested in listed stocks, bonds and short-term monetary investments. The Company's net pension expense was $2,709 in 1994; $2,686 in 1993; and $3,100 in 1992. The components of pension expense are as follows: 1994 1993 1992 -------- ------- -------- Service cost of benefits earned $ 4,522 $ 3,459 $ 3,744 Interest cost 4,295 3,895 3,783 Actual return on plan assets (2,694) (6,479) (3,926) Net amortization and deferral (3,414) 1,811 (501) ------- ------- -------- Net periodic pension cost $ 2,709 $ 2,686 $ 3,100 ======= ======= ======== The Company has unfunded defined benefit retirement plans for certain key officers and non-employee directors. Accrued pension cost for these plans was $4,338 at July 1, 1994 and $3,447 at July 2, 1993. Retirement expense for these plans was $906, $156 and $1,216, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company has contributory plans that provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," effective the first quarter of fiscal 1993. This statement requires the accrual of the cost of providing postretirement benefits, including medical and life insurance coverage, during the active service period of the employee. The Company elected to immediately recognize the accumulated liability, measured as of April 1, 1992. This resulted in a one-time charge of $6,696, net of a deferred tax benefit of $4,104. Prior to 1993, the Company recognized expense in the year the benefits were provided. Postretirement health care and life insurance costs charged to expense were approximately $287 in 1992. -25- 27 The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at year-end, using March 31 as a measurement date for all actuarial calculations of liability values: 1994 1993 ---- ---- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation Retirees $ 8,135 $ 6,745 Fully eligible active participants 1,271 3,301 Other active participants 274 457 -------- --------- 9,680 10,503 Unrecognized net gain 1,060 -- Fourth quarter claims payments (370) (129) -------- --------- Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 10,370 $ 10,374 ======== ========= The components of postretirement benefit expense are as follows: 1994 1993 ---- ---- Service cost of benefits earned $ 25 $ 23 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 808 812 ----- ---- Postretirement benefit expense $ 833 $835 ===== ==== Significant actuarial assumptions are as follows: 1994 1993 ---- ---- Annual rate of increase in per capita cost Pre-Medicare 11.25% 15.00% Annual decline 0.75% 1.00% Final rate of interest 6.00% 7.00% Post-Medicare 9.50% 12.00% Annual decline 0.50% 0.75% Final rate of increase 6.00% 6.00% Impact of one percentage point in health care cost trend rate on Accumulated post retirement benefit obligation 7.6% 8.9% Interest cost component of benefits 8.2% 9.3% Discount rate used to measure accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation 8.0% 8.0% The Company also adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" effective the first quarter of 1993. This statement requires the accrual method of accounting for benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. Postemployment benefits include disability benefits, severence benefits, and continuation of health care benefits. A one-time charge of $1,860, net of a deferred tax benefit of $1,140, related to the adoption of SFAS No. 112 was recognized effective June 27, 1992. The effect of this change on 1993 operating results, after recording the one time charge, was not material. Postemployment costs charged to expense in 1992 were not material. 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of long-term investments and foreign currency contracts are based on quoted market prices. 1994 1993 ------------------ ----------------- CARRYING/ Carrying/ CONTRACT FAIR Contract Fair AMOUNT VALUE Amount Value -------- ----- -------- ------ Cash and cash equivalents $123,387 $ 123,387 $103,536 $103,536 Long-term investments $ -- $ -- $ 11,721 $ 18,881 Foreign currency contracts Sell $ 5,132 $ 5,149 $ 289 $ 293 Buy $ 62,218 $ 66,695 $ 35,081 $ 38,185 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 1994 the Company had sales of $12,127 to Comunicaciones Broadband and Scientific-Atlanta of Shanghai, Ltd. and had a net receivable of $4,774 from these partnerships at July 1, 1994. 13. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND OTHER MATTERS Rental expense under operating lease agreements for facilities and equipment for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was approximately $9,303, $7,983 and $6,665, respectively. The Company pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs with respect to most leased items. Remaining operating lease terms range up to twenty years. Future minimum payments at July 1, 1994, under operating leases were $41,805. Payments under these leases for the next five years are as follows: 1995-- $8,922; 1996-- $7,666; 1997-- $5,068; 1998-- $4,359; 1999-- $3,455. The Company has obligations under certain partnership agreements to make cash contributions of $4,410 in 1995 and $3,250 in 1996. -26- 28 The Company has employment agreements with certain officers which include certain benefits in the event of termination of the officers' employment as a result of a change in control of the Company. The Company is also committed under certain purchase agreements which are intended to benefit future periods. The Company had forward exchange contracts maturing at various dates to purchase or sell the equivalent of $67,350 and $35,370 in various foreign currencies at July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993, respectively. The Company uses these contracts to hedge certain firm commitments and assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily Japanese yen. In management's opinion, settlement of these contracts will not result in any material adverse financial effect in the future. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 14. COMMON STOCK AND RELATED MATTERS In August 1994, the Company declared a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend payable on or about October 6, 1994, to shareholders of record on September 8, 1994. This stock split has been accounted for as of July 1, 1994, by a transfer from retained earnings to common stock in the amount of the par value of stock outstanding at July 1, 1994. In December 1992, the Company issued a 3-for-2 stock split effected in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend. The stock split has been accounted for by a transfer from retained earnings to common stock in the amount of the par value of the additional stock issued. All per share amounts and options have been restated to reflect the stock splits. The following information pertains to options on the company's common stock for the years ended July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993: Number of shares --------------------- 1994 1993 --------- --------- Outstanding, beginning of year 4,171,528 7,702,482 Options granted 1,214,700 1,541,700 Options canceled (247,804) (367,598) Options exercised (at option prices ranging from $2.875 to $16.937 in 1994) (656,372) (4,705,056) --------- --------- Outstanding, end of year (at option prices ranging from $2.875 to $17.375 in 1994) 4,482,052 4,171,528 ========= ========= Exercisable, end of year (at option prices ranging from $2.875 to $17.125 in 1994) 1,647,078 808,812 ========= ========= At July 1, 1994, an additional 3,782,102 shares were reserved under employee and director stock option plans. The Company has an employee stock purchase plan whereby the Company contributes to the purchase price of stock for participating employees. At July 1, 1994, 689,060 shares were reserved for issuance to employees under the plan. The Company has a 401(k) plan whereby the Company matches eligible employee contributions in Company stock. At July 1, 1994, 1,249,612 shares were reserved for issuance to employees under the plan. In April 1987 the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (which was amended in August 1988 and May 1994) and pursuant thereto declared a dividend of one Common Stock Purchase Right ("Right") for each outstanding share of common stock. The Rights will become exercisable if a person or group (an "Acquiring Shareholder") (i) holds 10 percent or more of the Company's common stock and is determined by the Board of Directors to be an "adverse person" as defined by the Plan, or (ii) acquires or makes a tender offer to acquire 15 percent of the Company's common stock. Either such event is referred to as the "Distribution Date". If a person acquires 15 percent of the Company's common stock or is determined by the Board of Directors to be an "adverse person" or, after the "Distribution Date" the Company is merged with any entity, each Right will entitle the holder thereof, other than the Acquiring Shareholder, to purchase $33 worth of the Company's or the surviving -27- 29 corporation's common stock, as the case may be, based on the Company's market price at the time, for $17. The Rights may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $.0167 per Right until the expiration of the rights or 10 days after any party acquires 15 percent of more of the Company's common stock. Rights are exercisable until the Company's right of redemption discussed above has expired. The Rights have no voting power and, until exercised, no dilutive effect on earnings per share. If not previously redeemed, the Rights will expire on April 13, 1997. At July 1, 1994, 147,516,586 shares were reserved for Common Stock Purchase Rights. At July 1, 1994, a total of 153,237,360 shares of authorized stock were reserved for the above purposes. -28- 30 15.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation, no earlier than 90 days and no later than 60 days prior to the date of such meeting, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of such meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 60 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made, notice by a holder of record must, to be timely, be so delivered or received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on 1 2 which such notice of the date of the meeting is mailed or the day on which such public disclosure was made.

(b) Anything in these by-laws to the contrary notwithstanding, the following procedures shall apply to the call of any special meeting of shareholders, or a special meeting in lieu of the annual meeting of shareholders, at the request of holders of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation: (i) Every written request for the call of a special meeting shall bear the signature and date of signature of each shareholder who signs the request and shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is to be called. 2 3 (ii) The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to request the corporation to call a special meeting shall be the date which is 45 calendar days prior to the date (the "Filing Date") that written requests complying with the requirements of law and these by-laws signed by a sufficient number of record holders to request a special meeting in accordance with this Section 2 have been received by the corporation (the "Minimum Request Condition"). (iii) Promptly after receipt of a written request or requests for the call of a special meeting, the corporation shall engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of election for the purpose of determining the validity of the request or requests and any revocations thereof. Within 15 calendar days of the Filing Date, such independent inspectors shall deliver to the corporation a written report stating whether the Minimum Request Condition has been satisfied. If such written report states that the Minimum Request Condition has been satisfied, or if no report is delivered by independent inspectors within 15 calendar days of the Filing Date, the chief executive officer or the secretary of the corporation shall call the special meeting by mailing notice thereof not later than 45 calendar days after the Filing Date. (iv) The date, time and place of the special meeting shall be determined by the board of directors and shall be set forth in the notice of meeting, which notice shall comply with the provisions of Section 3 of this Article II. (v) The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting shall be set by the board of directors in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of Article V of these by-laws. Section 3. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of every meeting of shareholders, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, shall be given personally or by mail to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with first class postage thereon prepaid (except as hereinafter provided) addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the corporation's record of stockholders. The corporation may utilize a class of mail other than first class if the notice of the meeting is mailed, with adequate postage prepaid, not less than 30 days before the date of the meeting. Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting of 3 4 shareholders (1) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and (2) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. Notice need not be given to any shareholder who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Section 4. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the shareholders except as otherwise provided by statute, by the articles of incorporation, or by these by-laws. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the holders of a majority of the voting shares, present in person or represented by proxy, may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than 120 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Section 5. Voting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of law, of the articles of incorporation or of these by-laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of the question. Each shareholder shall at every meeting of the shareholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power registered in his name on the books of the corporation, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven months from its date, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Section 6. Consent of Shareholders. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if all of the shareholders consent thereto in writing, setting forth the action so taken, and such writing is delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of shareholders. 4 5 Section 7. List of Shareholders. The corporation shall keep at its registered office or principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, a record of its shareholders, giving their names and addresses and the number, class and series, if any, of the shares held by each. The officer who has charge of the stock transfer books of the corporation shall prepare and make, before every meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. The list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof. The said list may be the corporation's regular record of shareholders if it is arranged in alphabetical order or contains an alphabetical index. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS Section 1. Powers. Except as otherwise provided by any legal agreement among shareholders, the property, affairs and business of the corporation shall be managed and directed by its board of directors, which may exercise all powers of the corporation and do all lawful acts and things which are not by law, by any legal agreement among shareholders, by the articles of incorporation, or by these by-laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders. Section 2. Meetings and Notice. The board of directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the state of Georgia. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the board. Special meetings of the board may be called by the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer or by any three directors on one day's oral, telegraphic or written notice duly given or served on each director personally, or three days' notice deposited, first class postage prepaid, in the United States mail. Such notice shall state a reasonable time, date and place of meeting, but the purpose need not be stated therein. Notice need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and waiver of all objections to the place and time of the meeting, or the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when the director states, at the beginning of the meeting, any such objection or objections to the transaction of business. 5 6 Section 3. Quorum. At all meetings of the board a majority of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, by the articles of incorporation, or by these by-laws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Section 4. Consent of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation or these by-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, setting forth the action so taken, and the writing or writings are delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes of the proceedings of the board or committee or filing with the corporate records. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the board. Section 5. Committees. The board of directors may by resolution designate from among its members one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more directors. The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent member at any meeting of such committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, except that it shall have no authority to (1) approve or propose to shareholders action which the Georgia Business Corporation Code requires to be approved by shareholders; (2) fill vacancies on the board of directors or any of its committees; (3) amend the articles of incorporation; (4) adopt, amend or repeal by-laws; or (5) approve a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the board of directors. The provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Article III shall apply to committees and their members as well as to the board of directors. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required. Section 6. Compensation of Directors. Directors shall be entitled to such reasonable compensation for their services as directors or members of any committee of the board as shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the board, and shall also be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable 6 7 expenses incurred in attending any meeting of the board or any such committee.

To be timely, any such notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date of such meeting, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of such meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 60 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made, notice by a holder of record must, to be timely, be so delivered or received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting is mailed or the day on which such public disclosure was made. Such notice by a holder of record must set forth (i) as to each person whom such holder proposes to nominate for election as a director, all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed, or otherwise required, pursuant to Sections 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), in connection with any acquisition of shares and the solicitations of proxies with respect to nominees for election of directors pursuant to the Exchange Act, regardless of whether such person is subject to such provisions of such Exchange Act, and (ii) as to the holder of record giving such notice, (a) the name and address, as they appear on the records of the corporation, of such holder, together with the name and address of any other shareholder of the corporation who is a record or beneficial owner of securities of the corporation and who is known by such holder to be supporting such nominee(s) and (b) the class and number of securities which are beneficially owned and owned of record by such holder on the date of such holder's notice and the class and number of securities of the corporation beneficially owned and owned of record by any person known by such holder to be supporting such nominee(s).

Ballots bearing the names of all the persons who have been nominated for 7 8 election as directors at any meeting of shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7 shall be provided for use at such meeting. The board of directors of the corporation may reject any nomination by a holder of record not timely made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7. If the board of directors determines that the information provided in a holder's notice of nomination does not satisfy the informational requirements of this Section 7 in any material respect, the secretary of the corporation shall promptly notify such holder of the deficiency in such notice. The holder shall have an opportunity to cure the deficiency by providing additional information to the secretary within such period of time, not to exceed five days, from the date such notice of deficiency is given to such holder, as the board of directors shall determine. If the deficiency is not cured within such period, or if the board of directors reasonably determines that the additional information provided by such holder, together with previously provided information, does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 7 in any material respect, then the board of directors may reject such holder's nomination. The secretary of the corporation shall notify in writing any holder making a nomination whether such nomination has been made in accordance with the time and informational requirements of this Section 7.

ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION Section 1. Definitions. As used in this Article, the term (a) "change of control", for purposes of this Article VII, means (1) an acquisition by a person of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the corporation's then outstanding voting securities, provided that any such securities acquired directly from the corporation shall be excluded from the determination of such person's beneficial ownership (but shall be included in calculating total outstanding securities); or (2) the individuals who are members of the incumbent board (as defined below) cease for any reason to constitute two-thirds of the Board of Directors; or (3) approval by the shareholders of the corporation of (i) a merger or consolidation involving the corporation if the shareholders of the corporation, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not own, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than 80% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of voting securities immediately before such merger or consolidation or (ii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the corporation or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change of control shall not be deemed to occur solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding voting securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the corporation or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the 15 16 shareholders of this corporation in the same proportion as their ownership of shares in this corporation immediately prior to such acquisition. Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, a change of 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 outstanding voting securities as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the corporation which, by reducing the number of voting securities outstanding increases the proportional number of shares beneficially owned by the Subject Person, provided, that if a change of control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the corporation, and after such share acquisition by the corporation, the Subject Person becomes the beneficial owner of any additional voting securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities beneficially owned by the Subject Person, then a change of control shall occur. (b) "corporation" includes any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of the corporation or a corporation in a merger or other transaction in which the predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction. (c) "director" means an individual who is or was a director of the corporation or an individual who, while a director of the corporation, is or was serving at the corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise. A director is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the corporation's request if his duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. Director includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director. (d) "expenses" include attorneys' fees. (e) "incumbent board" includes the individuals who as of May 11, 1994 are members of the Board of Directors and any individual becoming a director subsequent to May 11, 1994 whose election, or nomination for election by the corporation's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that any individual who is not a member of the incumbent board at the time he or she becomes a member of the Board of Directors shall become a member of the incumbent board upon the completion of two full years as a member of the Board of Directors; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual shall be considered a member of the incumbent board if 16 17 such individual initially assumed office (1) as a result of either an actual threatened "election contest" (within the meaning of Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board of Directors (a "Proxy Contest") or (2) with the approval of the other members of the Board of Directors, but by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle a Proxy Contest. (f) "liability" means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan), or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding. (g) "party" includes an individual who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding. (h) "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal. Section 2. Indemnification of Directors and Officers - General. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, the corporation shall indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "GBCC"), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to the extent any such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the GBCC permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment). (b) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in the GBCC. (c) To the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, the corporation shall indemnify the director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection therewith regardless of whether the director or officer has met the standards set forth in the GBCC and without any action or determination under Section 4 of this Article VII. 17 18 Section 3. Advance for Expenses. (a) The corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if: (1) The director or officer furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct set forth in the GBCC; and (2) The director or officer furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Article (b) The undertaking required by paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Section 3 must be an unlimited general obligation of the director or officer but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment. Section 4. Limitations on Indemnification. (a) The corporation shall not indemnify a director under Section 2 of this Article VII unless a determination has been made in the specific case that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in the GBCC. (b) The corporation shall indemnify an officer under Section 2 of this Article VII unless a determination has been made in the specific case that indemnification of the officer is precluded in the circumstances because he has failed to meet the standard of conduct set forth in the GBCC. (c) In either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such determination shall be made within 60 days of the request for indemnification: (i) By the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (ii) If a quorum cannot be obtained under paragraph (i) of this subsection, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; 18 19 (iii) By special legal counsel: (A) Selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this subsection; or (B) If a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under paragraph (i) of this subsection and a committee cannot be designated under paragraph (ii) of this subsection, selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which selection directors who are parties may participate); or (iv) By the shareholders, but the shares owned by or voted under the control of the officers and directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the determination; provided, however, that following a change of control of the corporation, with respect to all matters thereafter arising out of acts, omissions or events prior to the change of control of the corporation concerning the rights of any person seeking indemnification under this Article VII, such determination shall be made by special legal counsel selected by such person and approved by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner described in Section 4(c)(iii) above (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), which counsel has not otherwise performed services (other than in connection with similar matters) within the five years preceding its engagement to render such opinion for such person or for the corporation or any affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the corporation (whether or not they were affiliates when services were so performed) ("Independent Counsel"). Unless such person has theretofore selected Independent Counsel pursuant to this Section 4 and such Independent Counsel has been approved by the corporation, legal counsel approved by a resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the corporation prior to a change of control of the corporation shall be deemed to have been approved by the corporation as required. Such Independent Counsel shall determine as promptly as practicable whether and to what extent such person would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and shall render its written opinion to the corporation and such person to such effect. In making a determination under this Section 4, the special legal counsel and Independent Counsel referred to above shall determine that indemnification is permissible unless clearly precluded by this Article VII or the applicable provisions of the GBCC. The corporation agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such Independent Counsel against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and 19 20 damages arising out of or relating to this Article or its engagement pursuant hereto. (d) Authorization of indemnification or an obligation to indemnify and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made as set forth in paragraph (c) above. (e) Indemnification under this Article VII in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. Section 5. Enforceability. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to all proceedings commenced after its adoption, whether such arise out of events, acts, omissions or circumstances which occurred or existed prior or subsequent to such adoption, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. This Article shall be deemed to grant each person who is entitled to indemnification hereunder rights against the corporation to enforce the provisions of this Article, and any repeal or other modification of this Article or any repeal or modification of the GBCC or any other applicable law shall not limit any rights of indemnification then existing or arising out of events, acts, omissions, circumstances occurring or existing prior to such repeal or modification, including, without limitation, the right to indemnification for proceedings commenced after such repeal or modification to enforce this Article with regard to acts, omissions, events or circumstances occurring or existing prior to such repeal or modification. Section 6. Severability. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer of the corporation as to liabilities incurred in connection with any proceeding, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Section 7 Statements to Shareholders. If the corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to an officer or director under this Article VII in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation shall report the indemnification or advance in writing to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting. 20 EX-10.E 3 SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN 1 EXHIBIT 10(e) SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC.

A Participant who retires from the Company on or after his or her Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit (the "Normal Retirement Benefit") for life equal to the excess of: (a) the Participant's Accrued Benefits determined under sections 3.1 or 3.2 hereof; over (b) the sum of: (i) the annual retirement benefits payable to the Participant as a life annuity pursuant to the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Defined Benefit Retirement Plan (as such plan might be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time) which is the actuarial equivalent (as defined in Section 5.3) of such Participant's Pension Equity Account as defined in such Plan; (ii) the annual retirement benefits payable to the Participant pursuant to any employer funded defined benefit plan maintained by a prior employer of the Participant, assuming that such benefits are payable in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant; and (iii) the Participant's annual primary insurance amount under the Federal Social Security Act as in effect on the Participant's retirement date or, if applicable, his date 8 9 of death. In determining such amount under Section 4.2 below for a Participant who severs from service prior to his Normal Retirement Date, it shall be assumed that the Participant will continue to receive until his Normal Retirement Date, annual Compensation (which would be treated as wages for purposes of the Federal Social Security Act) at the same rate which is in effect immediately prior to his termination of employment. 4.2 Early Retirement. (a) A Participant who retires from the Company on or after his or her Early Retirement Date but prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to receive his or her Normal Retirement Benefit commencing on the date of his or her retirement; provided, however, that such date of commencement may, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, be deferred to the date that the Participant attains age sixty (60). If the Participant retires prior to age 60, and begins to receive benefits under this Plan prior to age 60, such Participant shall be entitled to receive only a Reduced Retirement Benefit (determined as hereinafter provided) commencing at his or her date of retirement. The amount of such Reduced Retirement Benefit shall be equal to that percentage of the Participant's Normal Retirement Benefit determined by subtracting from 100% the aggregate of 6.67% for each year (prorated over any partial year based on completed months of service) between the Participant's retirement date and the date on which the Participant reaches 9 10 age sixty (60). If a Participant retires prior to age sixty (60) but does not begin receiving benefits under this Plan until he or she is at least age sixty (60), there shall be no reduction in the Participant's Normal Retirement Benefit as of his or her date of retirement. (b) If a Participant retires prior to his Early Retirement Date, the Participant shall be entitled to receive any of his Normal Retirement Benefit which is then Vested. Such Normal Retirement Benefit shall be payable, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, either (1) beginning at the time the Participant becomes age fifty five (55), with a Reduced Retirement Benefit determined as provided in subparagraph (a) above, (2) beginning at the time the Participant becomes age sixty (60), with no reduction in the Normal Retirement Benefit, or (3) as a single lump sum payment at the time of retirement. ARTICLE V FORM OF PAYMENT 5.1 Normal Form of Payment. Unless an optional form of payment is elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof, all retirement benefits payable pursuant to this Plan will be paid in the form of a single life annuity, payable monthly, for the 10 11 life of the Participant. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the first monthly payment shall be made on the first day of the calendar month following the Participant's retirement date. 5.2 Other Forms of Payment. With the prior consent of the Participant (except as otherwise indicated below), the Plan Administrator may elect to pay such Participant's retirement benefits in a form other than a single life annuity. The optional forms of payment which the Plan Administrator may select are: (a) A 100% joint and survivor annuity pursuant to which an annuity is payable for the life of the Participant with a survivor's annuity for the life of the Participant's spouse which is equal to 100% of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Participant and his or her spouse; (b) A 50% joint and survivor annuity pursuant to which an annuity is payable for the life of the Participant with a survivor's annuity for the life of the Participant's spouse which is equal to 50% of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Participant and his or her spouse; or (c) A ten-year certain installment payment pursuant to which a fixed monthly benefit is payable to the Participant for the lesser of ten (10) years or the life of the Participant, with the continuation of the same benefit to the 11 12 Participant's designated beneficiary for any remaining portion of the ten-year certain period if the Participant dies prior to the end of such period. (d) A five-year certain installment payment pursuant to which a fixed monthly benefit is payable to the Participant for the lesser of five (5) years or the life of the Participant, with the continuation of the same benefit to the Participant's designated beneficiary for any remaining portion of the five-year certain period if the Participant dies prior to the end of such period; and (e) A single lump sum payment (which does not require the consent of the Participant). 5.3 Actuarial Equivalent. Any optional form of payment shall be the actuarial equivalent of the normal form of payment specified in Section 5.1 hereof. All determinations of actuarial equivalency will be based on the 1983 Unloaded Group Annuity Mortality Table weighted 50% male and an interest rate of 8.0%. The lump sum amount will equal the present value of future payments under this Plan assuming payment of benefits commenced immediately (or age 55 for a Vested termination). 12 13 ARTICLE VI SPOUSAL BENEFIT In the event a Participant who is Vested shall die while actively employed, or after his or her Early Retirement Date but prior to the commencement of payment of retirement benefits, the Participant shall be deemed to have retired for purposes of this Plan on the later of (i) the day immediately preceding his or her death, or (ii) the first day of the first calendar month thereafter in which the Participant would have attained age 55, and the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, shall be entitled to a benefit equal to 50% percent of the retirement benefit the Participant would have received if he had actually retired on such deemed retirement date. Such benefit shall be payable in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the surviving spouse. ARTICLE VII DISABILITY In the event a Participant becomes disabled and is eligible for benefits under the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Long Term Disability Plan, such Participant shall continue to receive credit, for Vesting purposes only, towards the Participant's years of Continuous Service during the period of such disability. 13 14 ARTICLE VIII CHANGE IN CONTROL 8.1 Immediate Vesting. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, a Participant shall be immediately Vested in his Accrued Benefits hereunder as of the date of such Change in Control. 8.2 Termination Following Change in Control. If a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated during the two-year period following a Change in Control for any reason other than cause, the Participant shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the Participant's Accrued Benefits as of the date of such termination. 8.3 Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control shall mean any of the following events: (a) The acquisition in one or more transactions by any "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) of "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities (the "Voting Securities"), provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.3, the Voting Securities acquired directly from the 14 15 Company by any Person shall be excluded from the determination of such Person's Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities (but such Voting Securities shall be included in the calculation of the total number of Voting Securities then outstanding); or (b) The individuals who are members of the Incumbent Board (as defined below) cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board. The "Incumbent Board" shall include the individuals who as of August 20, 1990, are members of the Board and any individual becoming a director subsequent to August 20, 1990, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that any individual who is not a member of the Incumbent Board at the time he or she becomes a member of the Board shall become a member of the Incumbent Board upon the completion of two full years as a member of the Board; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office (i) as a result of either an actual or threatened "election contest" (within the meaning of Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") or (ii) with the approval of the 15 16 other Board members, but by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle a Proxy Contest; or (c) Approval by stockholders of the Company of (i) a merger or consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger or consolidation or (ii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such acquisitions. 16 17 Moreover, 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 outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided, that if after a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of such acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. ARTICLE IX PLAN ADMINISTRATION 9.1 Plan Committee. This Plan and all matters related to it shall be administered by the Committee.

No benefit payable pursuant to this Plan, nor any other right under this Plan, shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void and shall not be recognized or given effect by the Company. 10.3 No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company nor does participating in the Plan obligate the Participant to continue in the employ of the Company. 10.4 Effective Date. The Plan became effective on June 21, 1993, and Participants may be designated at any time on and after that date. 10.5 Governing Law.

Article IV - Compensation Deferral 4.1 Compensation Deferral Election A Participant shall make a Compensation Deferral Election by executing and submitting to the Plan Committee an Election Form. The Election Form shall specify the Election Amount, the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date, the manner of payment of the Deferred Benefits attributable to the election, and the Beneficiary selected by the Participant to receive such Deferred Benefits in the event of the Participant's death. An election to defer future Salary may be made either before or during the Plan Year, provided, however, that any such election must be submitted to the Plan Committee at least 30 days prior to the applicable fiscal quarter and must apply to at least the entire fiscal quarter. An election to defer all or a portion of an Annual Incentive Plan Payment, a Long-Term Incentive Plan Payment or Other Incentive Compensation must be made on or before the April 1 immediately preceding the Plan Year in which such incentive award is payable. 5 6 4.2 Election Amounts Each Election Amount shall be selected as follows: (a) With respect to Salary, a participant may defer a specified percentage of the Salary which the Participant will earn and receive during the balance of the Plan Year, provided, however, that no deferral election with respect to the current Plan Year may be made after March 31. Percentage deferral must be an increment of five percentage points and shall not exceed fifty percent. (b) With respect to an Annual Incentive Plan Payment, a Long-Term Incentive Plan Payment or Other Incentive Compensation, a Participant may defer either a specified percentage of the entire payment or a specified percentage of the payment above a stated dollar amount; provided, however, that any such percentage must be an increment of five percentage points. 4.3 Reduction of Compensation The Employer shall deduct Election Amounts deferred from a Participant's Salary ratably over each remaining pay period in the Plan Year. The Employer shall deduct Election Amounts deferred from an Annual Incentive Plan Payment, a Long-Term Incentive Plan Payment or Other Incentive Compensation at the time such incentive award is otherwise payable. 4.4 Deferred Benefit Commencement Date Except as otherwise provided in Article VI hereof, a Participant may elect to defer receipt of an Election Amount until the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date selected by the Participant. The permissible Deferred Benefit Commencement Dates are (i) a set date which is no earlier than July 1 of the calendar year following the end of the Plan Year in which the Election Amount is deferred; (ii) the Participant's date of Retirement; or (iii) a date which is either the fifth or tenth anniversary of the Participant's Retirement. 4.5 Manner of Payment Except as otherwise provided in Article VI hereof, the Participant may elect to receive payment of the Deferred Benefits attributable to a Compensation Deferral Election pursuant to one of the following methods: (a) Annual, semiannual or quarterly installments payable over a five, ten or fifteen year period, and commencing on the respective Deferred Benefit Commencement Date; or (b) A single lump sum payment of the entire balance of the respective Deferred Benefit Account, determined as of and payable on the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date. 6 7 A Participant may change the manner of payment selected with respect to a Compensation Deferral Election by submitting a request in writing to the Plan Committee on or before the earlier (i) the date which is six months prior to the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date, or (ii) the December 31 immediately preceding the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date. 4.6 Designation of Beneficiaries A Participant shall designate a Beneficiary with respect to each Compensation Deferral Election and may change the Beneficiary designation with respect to any Compensation Deferral Election at any time by submitting a revised Beneficiary designation in writing reflecting the change to the Plan Committee. Article V - Deferred Benefit Accounts 5.1 Deferred Benefit Accounts The Employer shall cause to be established and maintained a separate Deferred Benefit Account with respect to each Compensation Deferral Election. The Employer shall credit the Election Amount deferred pursuant to each such election to the Participant's appropriate Deferred Benefit Account as of the date deferred from the Participant's Compensation as provided in Section 4.3 hereof. The amount credited to a Participant's Deferred Benefit Account shall equal the Election Amount deferred reduced by the amount, if any, that the Employer may be required from time to time to withhold from such Election Amount pursuant to any federal, state or local law. 5.2 Accrual of Interest Except as otherwise provided by Section 6.2(b) hereof, interest shall accrue, at the Plan Interest Rate in effect from time to time, on any amounts credited to a Deferred Benefit Account from the date on which the amount is credited and shall be credited and compounded weekly. 5.3 Determination of Account Balance As of each Determination Date, the current balance of a Participant's Deferred Benefit Account shall equal (A) the sum of (i) the balance of such Deferred Benefit Account as of the immediately preceding Determination Date, (ii) any Compensation deferred by such Participant to such Deferred Benefit Account since the previous Determination Date and (iii) the amount of interest credited to such Deferred Benefit Account since the preceding Determination Date, minus (B) any payments to or withdrawals by the Participant from the Deferred Benefit Account since the previous Determination Date. 7 8 5.4 Statement of Accounts Within ninety (90) days after each Determination Date, the Plan Committee shall submit to each Participant a statement in such form as the Plan Committee shall deem desirable, setting forth a summary of the Compensation Deferral Elections made and the current balances of the Deferred Benefit Accounts maintained for the Participant as of the Determination Date. Article VI - Payment of Deferred Benefits 6.1 General Except as otherwise provided herein, Deferred Benefits in each Deferred Benefit Account shall be payable to a Participant upon the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date for such Account and pursuant to the manner of payment selected by the Participant on the applicable Election Form or any permitted modification thereof. If the Participant has elected to receive such Deferred Benefits in installments, the amount payable in the first year of such installments shall be an amount that will fully amortize the balance in the Participant's Deferred Benefit Account determined as of the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date over the five, ten, or fifteen year period, based on assumed interest earnings at the Plan Interest Rate in effect for such first year. Thereafter, the amount payable in each succeeding year shall be adjusted to an amount that will fully amortize the remaining balance in such Deferred Benefit Account over the remaining years in the aforesaid five, ten, or fifteen year installment period based on the Plan Interest Rate for such succeeding year. 6.2 Termination of Employment Deferred benefits shall be paid to a Participant upon his or her termination of employment, as follows: (a) Upon the involuntary termination of a Participant's employment by the Employer, if such termination is determined to be involuntary by the Plan Committee: (1) the Employment Termination Date shall be deemed to be the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date applicable to each Deferred Benefit Account for which the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date selected by the Participant was a set date prior to the Participant's 55th birthday if the termination occurs before such set date; (2) For each Deferred Benefit Account, if any, for which the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date selected by the Participant was Retirement or later, the Employment Termination Date shall be deemed to be the Participant's Retirement; (3) The amount in each Deferred Benefit Account shall be payable to the Participant either (i) on the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date that applies to such Deferred Benefit Account, taking into consideration the aforesaid deemed dates (Sections 6.2(a)(1) and 6.2(a)(2)) pursuant to 8 9 the method requested by the Participant in his or her Election Form, or (ii) in the manner requested by the Participant in his or her Election Form to apply in the event of his or her involuntary termination by the Employer. (4) For purposes of this Plan, termination for "good cause" of any Participant will be construed to be and will be treated as a voluntary termination by such a Participant, regardless of his or her age, and the Employer will pay out to such a Participant all amounts in his or her Deferred Benefit Accounts in accordance with Section 6.2(b) hereof. For purposes of this Plan, "good cause" shall be determined by the Employer in its sole and absolute discretion. (b) Upon the voluntary termination of employment by a Participant prior to attaining fifty-five years of age: (1) the amounts in each of the Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts shall cease to earn interest and the balance of each Deferred Benefit Account shall be determined as of the nearest pay date following the Participant's Employment Termination Date determined in accordance with Article V hereof; and (2) the Employer shall pay the Participant the balance of each such Deferred Benefit Account not according to the Participant's elections as specified in his or her Election Forms but in a lump sum, to be paid within sixty (60) days of the Participant's voluntary termination. (c) For purposes of this Plan, voluntary termination of employment with the Employer by a Participant who is fifty-five years or older will in all instances be construed to be and will be treated as Retirement by such a Participant, and the Employer will pay out to such a Participant all amounts in his or her Deferred Benefit Account in accordance with the applicable Election Form. (d) Other provisions of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Participant's employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason within two (2) years after a "Change in Control" of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., the Employer shall pay the Participant the amounts in the Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts according to the terms of Section 6.2(a) hereof as if the Participant had been terminated involuntarily. For purposes of this Section 6.2(e), a "Change in Control" shall mean any of the following events: (1) The acquisition in one or more transactions by any "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") of "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities (the "Voting Securities"), provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 6.2(e)(1), the Voting Securities acquired directly from the Company by any Person shall be excluded from the determination of such Person's Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities (but 9 10 such Voting Securities shall be included in the calculation of the total number of Voting Securities then outstanding); or (2) The individuals who are members of the Incumbent Board (as defined below), cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board. The "Incumbent Board" shall include the individuals who as of August 20, 1990 are members of the Board and any individual becoming a director subsequent to August 20, 1990 whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that any individual who is not a member of the Incumbent Board at the time he or she becomes a member of the Board shall become a member of the Incumbent Board upon the completion of two full years as a member of the Board; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office (i) as a result of either an actual or threatened "election contest" (within the meaning of Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") or (ii) with the approval of the other Board members, but by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle a Proxy Contest; or (3) Approval by stockholders of the Company of (i) a merger or consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger or consolidation or (ii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition. Moreover, 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 outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided, that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the 10 11 percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred. 6.3 Total Disability Deferred Benefits shall be paid to a Participant upon his or her becoming Totally Disabled, as follows: (a) Upon the determination that a Participant is Totally Disabled. (1) No further deferrals will be made from his or her Compensation: and (2) the Employer shall pay the Participant the balance in each of the Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts as if the Participant had been terminated involuntarily, as set forth in Section 6.2(a). (b) For purposes of this Plan, once a Participant is determined to be Totally Disabled, he or she will continue to be deemed Totally Disabled irrespective of the Participant's ceasing to be considered Totally Disabled for purposes of any other plan maintained by the Employer. (c) In the event that a Totally Disabled Participant recovers and resumes active employment with the Employer such Totally Disabled Participant may resume participation in this Plan at the discretion of the Plan Committee; provided, however, that in any event the Totally Disabled Participant shall continue to receive payments of Deferred Benefits that are then being paid pursuant to the terms of this Plan. 6.4 Death Deferred Benefits shall be paid upon the death of a Participant, as follows: (a) Upon the death of a Participant, the Employer shall pay the amounts in each of the Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts to the Beneficiary designated by the Participant with respect to each Compensation Deferral Election in each of his or her respective Election Forms, or, if the Participant fails to so designate a Beneficiary, to his or her estate. (b) If the Participant dies prior to Retirement, the Employer shall pay to each respective Beneficiary or to the Participant's estate, as the case may be, the amounts in each of the Participant's respective Deferred Benefit Accounts, in the same manner as for the Participant who has been terminated involuntarily, as set forth in Section 6.2(a). (c) If the Participant dies following Retirement or being determined to be Totally Disabled but prior to his or her receiving the full payment of all Deferred Benefits payable to him or her, the Employer shall pay to each of the respective Beneficiaries or to the Participant's estate, as the case may be, the same Deferred Benefits in the same manner as it otherwise would have paid to the 11 12 Participant as if the Participant had not died, unless the Participant has specified in his or her Election Form a different manner of payment to a Beneficiary. (d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 6.4, a Beneficiary may request a different payment schedule than what has been elected by the Participant, if such change does not further defer the scheduled payout, by submitting a request in writing to the Plan Committee. The granting of any such request shall be within the discretion of the Plan Committee. (e) If a Beneficiary who is receiving Deferred Benefits pursuant to this Plan dies, the remainder of the Deferred Benefits to which such Beneficiary was entitled at the time of his or her death shall continue to be payable to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by such Beneficiary in writing to the Plan Committee (or to the Beneficiary's estate or heirs if he or she fails to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries). Article VII - Hardship Withdrawals 7.1 Hardship Withdrawals. A participant may request a Hardship Withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her Deferred Benefits before the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date, as follows: (a) The request for withdrawal must be to meet an "unforeseeable emergency." (b) For purposes of this Article VII, an unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent of the Participant, loss of Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. The circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, a hardship withdrawal may not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved: (1) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (2) By liquidation of the participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (3) By cessation of deferrals under the Plan. (c) The request for a Hardship Withdrawal must be made in writing to the Plan Committee and shall state the amount requested, the unforeseeable emergency to which the amount will be applied and shall also affirm that no other assets are reasonably available to meet the emergency. 12 13 (d) The Plan Committee shall consider applicable regulatory standards in assessing whether to grant a request for a Hardship Withdrawal. Article VIII - Plan Administration 8.1 Plan Committee This Plan and all matters related to it shall be administered by the Plan Committee. The Plan Committee shall have the authority to interpret the provisions of this Plan and to resolve all questions arising in the administration, interpretation and application of this Plan. Any such determination by the Plan Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. The Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion, delegate any or all of its responsibilities relative to administration of this Plan to such officers of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., as it designates. 8.2 Claim Procedures Any Participant or Beneficiary claiming a benefit, or requesting an interpretation, any information, or a ruling under this Pan shall present the request, in writing, to the Plan Committee, which shall respond in writing within thirty (30) days from the date on which it receives the claim or request. Article IX - Participant's Rights 9.1 Ineligibility to Participate in Plan In the event that the Plan Committee determines that a Participant has become ineligible to continue to participate in this Plan, the Plan Committee may terminate Participant's participation in this Plan upon ten (1) days' prior written notice to the Participant. In such event, the Participant will not be entitled to make further Compensation Deferral Elections, but all current Compensation Deferral Elections shall continue in effect. All Deferred Benefit Accounts shall be payable as otherwise provided in Article VI hereof. 9.2 Termination of Plan The Board of Directors of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. may terminate this Plan at any time, and termination of this Plan shall be effective upon ten (10) days' written notice to all Participants in the Plan. Upon such termination of this Plan, the Employer shall pay all active Participants their Deferred Benefits as provided in Section 6.1 as if each such Participant had actually reached the Deferred Benefit Commencement Date for all of his or her Deferred Benefit Accounts. The Plan Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate all payments due under Plan in the event of a termination of the Plan. 13 14 9.3 Participant's Rights The right of a Participant or his or her Beneficiary or estate to receive any benefits under this Plan shall be solely that of an unsecured creditor of the Employer. Any asset acquired or held by the Employer or funds allocated by the Employer in connection with the liabilities assumed by the Employer pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of any Participant or of any of Participant's Beneficiaries or to be security for the performance of the Employer's obligations hereunder but shall be and remain a general asset of the Employer. Provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect the rights of the Participant with regard to this Plan under that certain Benefits Protection Trust, between Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. and Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., N.A., dated February 13, 1991, as amended from time to time. 9.4 Spendthrift Provision Neither a Participant nor any person claiming through a Participant shall have the right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey any Deferred Benefit payable hereunder or any part thereof in advance of it actually having been received by a Participant or other appropriate recipient under this Plan, and the right to receive all such Deferred Benefits is expressly declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable. Prior to the actual payment thereof, no part of the Deferred Benefits payable hereunder shall be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any person claiming through a Participant or be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any such other person's bankruptcy or insolvency. 9.5 Plan Not An Employment Agreement This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute an employment agreement between the Employer and any Participant, and no provision hereof shall restrict the right of the Employer to discharge a Participant as an employee of the Employer or the right of a Participant to voluntarily terminate his or her employment with the Employer. 9.6 Cooperation Each Participant will cooperate with the Employer by furnishing any and all information reasonably requested by the Employer in order to facilitate the payment of Deferred Benefits hereunder and by taking any such other actions as the Employer or the Plan Committee may reasonably request. 9.7 Offset If a Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be indebted to the Employer at any time that Deferred Benefits are to be paid to a Participant or his or her Beneficiary under this 14 15 Plan, then the Employer may reduce such Deferred Benefits by the amount of such indebtedness prior to the payment of the Deferred Benefits. Article X - Miscellaneous 10.1 Amendments and Modifications The Board of Directors of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. may amend this Plan in any respect at any time. In addition, the Plan Committee may authorize the following types of amendments to the Plan without Board approval: (a) amendments required by law; (b) amendments that relate to the administration of the Plan and that do not materially increase the cost of the Plan; and (c) amendments that are designed to resolve possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions in the Plan and that do not materially increase the cost of the Plan. All authorized amendments shall be effective upon ten (10) days' written notice to the Participants. If any such amendment materially adversely affects a Participant's Deferred Benefits, such affected Participant may, within ninety (90) days after the effective date of such amendment, elect to terminate his or her participation in the Plan pursuant to this Section 10.1 in which event the date of such election shall be deemed to be such Participant's Deferred Benefit Commencement Date. 10.2 Inurement This Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Employer and each Participant hereto, and their respective beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 15 16 10.3 Governing Law This Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. To the extent that state law is applicable, however, the laws of the State of Georgia shall apply. SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC. By: /s/ Brian C. Koenig -------------------------------- Vice President - Human Resources Attest: /s/ William E. Eason, Jr. - ------------------------- Secretary 16 EX-10.G 5 SEVERANCE PROTECTION AGREEMENT 1 EXHIBIT 10(g) SEVERANCE PROTECTION AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT made as of the ____ day of September, 1994, by and between Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. (the "Company") and __________________ (the "Executive"). WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) exists and that the occurrence of a Change in Control can result in significant distractions of its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to retain the services of the Executive in the event of a Change in Control and to ensure his continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for his personal financial and employment security; and WHEREAS, in order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company, particularly in the event of a Change in Control, the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with the Executive to provide the Executive with certain benefits in the event his employment is terminated as a result of, or in connection with, a Change in Control. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective agreements of the parties contained herein, it is agreed as follows: 1. Term of Agreement; Expiration of Term. 1.1 Term of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall continue in effect through December 31, 1995. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on January 1, 1995 and on each January 1 thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (l) additional year unless either the Company or the Executive shall have given written notice to the other at least ninety (90) days prior to such January 1 that the term of this Agreement shall not be so extended. (c) Notwithstanding any such notice by the Company not to extend, the term of this Agreement shall not expire prior to the expiration of 24 months after the occurrence of any Change in Control which occurs while this Agreement is in effect. 1.2 Expiration of Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term of this Agreement shall expire on the day prior to the day the Executive, individually or together with any Person (as defined in Section 2.2(a)) and without prior approval of the Board, either (i) consummates as an acquiror a transaction which constitutes a Change in Control (as defined below) or (ii) makes a written definitive proposal for, or otherwise participates directly or indirectly as an acquiror in, a transaction which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control (each, a "Control Action") and, in either case, 2 such Control Action occurs prior to a Control Action by any other Person. If a Control Action by any other Person is terminated, withdrawn or abandoned prior to a Control Action by the Executive, it shall be deemed to have never occurred for purposes of this Section 1.2. 2. Definitions. 2.1 Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for "Cause" is a termination evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by two-thirds of the Board that the Executive (i) has been convicted of a felony, or (ii) has engaged in conduct which constitutes (A) willful neglect in carrying out his duties to the Company or (B) willful misconduct, in either case, which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; provided, however that no termination of the Executive's employment shall be for Cause as set forth in clause (ii) above until (x) there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a written notice setting forth that the Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (ii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail, and (y) the Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of the Executive's counsel if the Executive so desires). No act, nor failure to act, on the Executive's part, shall be considered "willful" unless he has acted, or failed to act, with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no failure to perform by the Executive after a Notice of Termination is given by either party shall constitute Cause for purposes of this Agreement. 2.2 Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall mean any of the following events: (a) The acquisition in one or more transactions by any "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) of "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities (the "Voting Securities"), provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2.2(a), the Voting Securities acquired directly from the Company by any Person shall be excluded from the determination of such Person's Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities (but such Voting Securities shall be included in the calculation of the total number of Voting Securities then outstanding); or (b) The individuals who are members of the Incumbent Board (as defined below), cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board. The "Incumbent Board" shall include the individuals who as of August 20, 1990 were members of the Board and any individual becoming a director subsequent to August 20, 1990 whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board; provided, however, that any individual who is not a member of the Incumbent Board at the time he or she becomes a member of the Board shall become a member of the Incumbent Board upon the completion of two full years as a member of the Board; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office (l) as a result of either an actual or threatened "election contest" (within the meaning of Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or 2 3 threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") or (2) with the approval of the other Board members, but by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle a Proxy Contest; or (c) Approval by stockholders of the Company of (1) a merger or consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not own, directly or indirectly immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger or consolidation or (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition. Moreover, 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 outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided, that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive's employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control and the Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination (1) was at the request of a Third Party (as hereinafter defined) who effectuates a Change in Control or (2) otherwise occurred in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control which actually occurs, then for all purposes of this Agreement, the date of a Change in Control shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of the Executive's employment. 2.3 Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean (i) a physical or mental infirmity which has been determined to be a total and permanent disability under and in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Long Term Disability Income Plan (the "LTD Plan") or (ii) in the event the Company does not maintain the LTD Plan at the time of the determination of the Executive's Disability, a physical or mental infirmity which impairs the Executive's ability to substantially perform duties of the type performed by 3 4 the Executive prior to the onset of the infirmity, which impairment continues for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. 2.4 Good Reason.

(b) Any event or condition described in this section 2.4(a)(1) through (8) which occurs prior to a Change in Control but (i) was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control (a "Third Party") who effectuates a Change in Control, or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control which actually occurs, shall constitute Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding that it occurred prior to the Change in Control. (c) The Executive's right to terminate his employment pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness prior to the time the Executive has been determined to have a Disability. 3. Termination of Employment. 3.1 Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply to any termination of the Executive's employment which occurs prior to a Change in Control. 3.2 If, during the term of this Agreement, the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated within 24 months following a Change in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits (in addition to any compensation and benefits provided for under any of the Company's employee benefit plans, policies and practices): (a) If the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated (l) by the Company for Cause or Disability, (2) by reason of the Executive's death, or (3) by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay the Executive all amounts earned or accrued through the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) but not paid as of the Termination Date, including (i) base salary, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the Executive on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the Termination Date, (iii) vacation pay and (iv) bonuses or incentive compensation (collectively, "Accrued Compensation"). In addition to the foregoing, if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Disability or by reason of the Executive's death, the Company shall pay to the Executive or his beneficiaries an amount equal to the "Pro Rata Bonus" (as hereinafter defined). The "Pro Rata Bonus" shall mean for any fiscal year of the Company which begins after the Change in Control, an 5 6 amount equal to the bonus or incentive award that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the Annual Plan in respect of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Termination Date occurs had he continued in employment until the end of such fiscal year, calculated as if all performance targets and goals (if applicable) had been fully met by the Company and by the Executive, as applicable, for such year, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year through the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365. The Executive's entitlement to any other compensation or benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company's employee benefit plans and other applicable programs and practices then in effect. (b) If the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated (other than by reason of death), (1) by the Company (other than for Cause or Disability) or (2) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: (i) the Company shall pay the Executive all Accrued Compensation and a Pro-Rata Bonus; (ii) except if the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason by reason of relocation as described in Section 2.4(a)(3) and such relocation is in connection with a relocation affecting more than one-half of the employees employed at the same work location as the Executive ("Good Reason for Company Relocation"), the Company shall pay the Executive as severance pay and in lieu of any further compensation for periods subsequent to the Termination Date, in a single payment an amount in cash (the "Severance Amount") equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) the highest rate of the Executive's annual base salary as in effect at any time within ninety (90) days preceding a Change in Control or at any time thereafter ("Base Salary"), (B) the "Bonus Amount" (as defined below) and (C) the "Perquisite Amount" (as defined below). If the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason for Company Relocation, the Severance Amount shall equal one (1) times the sum of (A) Base Salary, (B) the Bonus Amount and (C) the Perquisite Amount. Any amount payable with respect to the Executive's Bonus Amount pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(ii) shall be reduced by the amount by which payments to the Executive pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 8(c) of the Annual Plan exceed the "target" percentage of such Executive's base salary under the Annual Plan. The term "Bonus Amount" shall mean the highest of the total cash bonuses earned by the Executive pursuant to the Annual Plan in any of the three fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs (or such lesser number of full fiscal years during which the Executive was employed by the Company); provided, however, that the Bonus Amount shall not be less than an amount equal to the Executive's target bonus pursuant to the Annual Plan for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs. The "Perquisite Amount" shall equal the highest amount paid to the Executive in the calendar year ending prior to the Change in Control or in any calendar year thereafter in respect of perquisites provided to the Executive, including, but not limited to, car allowance, financial counseling, annual physical examination and airline membership clubs and shall be in lieu of the Company providing such perquisites to the Executive. 6 7 (iii) for a number of months equal to 24 (12 if the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason for Company Relocation) (the "Continuation Period"), the Company shall at its expense continue on behalf of the Executive and his dependents and beneficiaries (to the same extent provided to the dependents and beneficiaries prior to the Executive's termination) the life insurance, disability, medical, dental and hospitalization benefits provided (x) to the Executive at any time within ninety (90) days preceding a Change in Control or at any time thereafter, or (y) to other similarly situated executives who continue in the employ of the Company during the Continuation Period. The coverage and benefits (including deductibles and costs) provided in this Section 3.2(b)(iii) during the Continuation Period shall be no less favorable to the Executive and his dependents and beneficiaries, than the most favorable of such coverages and benefits during any of the periods referred to in clauses (x) and (y) above. The Company's obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing benefits shall be limited to the extent that the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce the coverage of any benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverages and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverages and benefits required to be provided hereunder. This Subsection (iii) shall not be interpreted so as to duplicate any benefits to which the Executive or his dependents may be entitled under any of the Company's employee benefit plans, programs or practices following the Executive's termination of employment, including without limitation, retiree medical and life insurance benefits; (iv) the Company shall pay in a single payment an amount in cash equal to the excess of (A) the actuarial equivalent of the aggregate retirement benefit the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the SERP, the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") and the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Restoration Retirement Plan (the "Restoration Plan") had (x) the Executive remained employed by the Company for an additional two (2) complete years of credited service (one (l) complete year of credited service if the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason for Company Relocation), (y) his annual compensation during such period been equal to his Base Salary and the Bonus Amount (but only to the extent that the bonuses which are included in the Bonus Amount are includible in compensation for purposes of the Retirement Plan, the SERP and the Restoration Plan), and (z) he been fully (100%) vested in his benefit under each such retirement plan, over (B) the actuarial equivalent of the aggregate retirement benefit the Executive is actually entitled to receive under such retirement plans. For purposes of this Subsection (iv), "actuarial equivalent" shall be determined in accordance with the actuarial assumptions used for the calculation of benefits under the Retirement Plan as applied immediately prior to the Termination Date in accordance with such plan's past practices (but shall in any event take into account the value of any subsidized early retirement benefit); and (v) all restrictions on any outstanding award (including restricted stock awards) granted to the Executive shall lapse and such awards shall become fully (100%) vested immediately, and all stock options and stock appreciation rights granted to the Executive shall become fully (100%) vested and shall become immediately exercisable. 7 8 (c) The amounts provided for in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b)(i), (ii), (iv) and (v) shall be paid within five (5) days after the Executive's Termination Date. (d) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to the Executive in any subsequent employment except as provided in Section 3.2(b)(iii). 3.3 The severance pay and benefits provided for in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b)(i) and (ii) shall be in lieu of any other severance pay to which the Executive may be entitled under any Company severance plan, program or arrangement. 4. Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company or by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice of Termination. 5. Termination Date. "Termination Date" shall mean in the case of the Executive's death, his date of death, and in all other cases, the date specified in the Notice of Termination subject to the following: (a) If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or due to Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination shall be at least 30 days from the date the Notice of Termination is given to the Executive, provided that in the case of Disability the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of his duties during such period of at least 30 days; and (b) If the Executive's employment is terminated for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination shall not be more than 60 days from the date the Notice of Termination is given to the Company. 6. Excise Tax Limitation. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Executive under this Agreement or under any other plan or agreement (the "Payments") shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no payment to be made, or benefit to be provided, to the Executive or for his benefit under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement shall be subject to the imposition of excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the "Limited Payment Amount") if (A) the net amount of such Payments, as so reduced (and after deduction of the net amount of federal, state and local income tax on such reduced Payments) is greater than (B) the excess 8 9 of (i) the net amount of such Payments, without reduction (but after deduction of the net amount of federal, state and local income tax on such Payments), over (ii) the amount of excise tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such Payments. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments to the Executive by first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Employee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 6 shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm designated by the Company (other than the accounting firm that is regularly engaged by the Person, or any affiliate of the Person, who has effectuated a Change in Control) and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide their calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, both to the Company and the Executive within 5 days after the Executive's Termination Date (or such earlier time as is requested by the Company) and, with respect to the Limited Payment Amount, a reasonable opinion to the Executive that he is not required to report any excise tax on his federal income tax return with respect to the Limited Payment Amount (collectively, the "Determination"). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and the Company shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as they become due. The Determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive (except as provided in Subsection (c) below). (c) If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that Payments have been made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Executive by the Company, which are in excess of the limitations provided in Section 6(a) (hereinafter referred to as an "Excess Payment"), such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to the Executive made on the date the Executive received the Excess Payment and the Executive shall repay the Excess Payment to the Company on demand, together with interest on the Excess Payment at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the Executive's receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such repayment. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination, it is possible that Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an "Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made under this Section 6. In the event that it is determined (i) by the Accounting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS or (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall pay an amount equal to such Underpayment to the Executive within 10 days of such determination together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Executive until the date of payment. 9 10 7. Unauthorized Disclosure or Use of Confidential Information. The Executive shall not make any unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information. For purposes of this Agreement, unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information shall mean disclosure to any person, group or other entity, or use by the Executive, without the consent of the Board (other than pursuant to a court order, as is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Executive of his duties as an executive of the Company or as may be legally required) of any material confidential information obtained by the Executive while in the employ of the Company (including any material confidential information with respect to any of the Company's customers or methods of distribution) the disclosure or use of which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company; provided, however, that such term shall not include the disclosure or use by the Executive, without consent, of any information known generally to the public (other than as a result of disclosure or use by him in violation of this Section 7) or any information not otherwise considered confidential and material by a reasonable person engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Company. 8. Successors; Binding Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and the Company shall require any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. The term "the Company" as used herein shall include such successors and assigns. The term "successors and assigns" as used herein shall mean a corporation or other entity acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the Company (including this Agreement) whether by operation of law or otherwise. (b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by the Executive, his beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal personal representative. 9. Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) incurred by the Executive as they become due as a result of (a) the Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or by any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Company under which the Executive is or may be entitled to receive benefits or (b) the Executive's hearing before the Board as contemplated in Section 2.1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the circumstances set forth in clause (a) (other than as a result of the Executive's termination of employment under circumstances described in Section 2.2(d)) occurred on or after a Change in Control; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be entitled to legal fees and related expenses pursuant to this Section 9 if pursuant to a determination of a court which has been finally and conclusively resolved, it is determined that the Executive's position is entirely without merit or that the action commenced by the Executive is frivolous. 10. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement (including the Notice of Termination) shall be 10 11 in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses last given by each party to the other, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to the Secretary of the Company. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 11. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 12. Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration. All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after notification by the Board that the Executive's claim has been denied. Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Executive's right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. 13. Settlement of Claims. The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or others unless such circumstances arise out of any illegal or fraudulent conduct which the Company in good faith believes was engaged in by the Executive in connection with his employment with the Company. 14. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and the Company.

SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC. ATTEST: By:________________________ Title: ________________________ Secretary By:________________________ Section 12 hereof must be initialed by both parties. 13 EX-10.H 6 RETIREMENT PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 1 EXHIBIT 10(h) As Amended August 25, 1994 SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, INC. RETIREMENT PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this plan ("Plan") is to enhance the ability of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. ("Company") to attract and retain the service of experienced, able and knowledgeable persons to serve as members of the Company's board of directors ("Board") over a substantial period of years during which the full benefit of their capabilities can be realized to further the growth and profitability of the Company and return to the shareholders. 2. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a Plan Administrator, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition to the duties stated elsewhere in the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have full authority, consistent with the Plan, to interpret the Plan and to make all determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. 3. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS. Each person who is or becomes a member of the Board on or after the effective date of this Plan and who never has been an employee of the Company shall be deemed a Participant in this Plan after having been a member of the Board for thirty-six consecutive months. 4. RETIREMENT DATES. (a) A Participant's "Normal Retirement Date" is the first day of the calendar month in which a Participant attains the age of sixty-five (65) years and is no longer a member of the Board or any subsequent month designated by a Participant in accordance with paragraph 6 below. (b) A Participant's "Early Retirement Date" is the first day of the calendar month designated by a Participant in accordance with paragraph 6 below, prior to the Normal Retirement Date, on or after the month in which a Participant attains the age of fifty-five (55) years. 5. RETIREMENT BENEFIT. (a) The annual retirement benefit payable to any Participant who retires on the Normal Retirement Date, or any date thereafter, will be an amount equal to the annual retainer paid by the Company to its directors for the last year that the Participant is a director. 2 (b) The annual early retirement benefit payable to any Participant who retires on the Early Retirement Date will be the amount specified in 5(a) above, reduced by the following early retirement factors: Age at Commencement Factor ------------ ------ 64 .933 63 .867 62 .800 61 .733 60 .667 59 .633 58 .600 57 .567 56 .533 55 .500 If a Participant's age at the Early Retirement Date falls between any two of these ages, these factors shall be adjusted by straight-line interpolation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant retiring prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date may elect to defer the commencement of retirement benefit payments under this Plan to the same extent, and with the same effect, as a participant retiring under the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Retirement Plan and Trust might defer the commencement of benefits under that plan. (c) No retirement benefit will be payable to any person who is a member of the Board for less than thirty-six (36) consecutive months. 6. BENEFIT PAYMENTS. A Participant may retire by written notice to the Plan Administrator or the Secretary of the Company designating a retirement date in accordance with paragraph 4 above. Retirement benefit payments will be payable on the first day of each calendar quarter following retirement or in accordance with such other schedule of payments as may be requested by the Participant and approved by the Board. Benefit payments will continue to be paid to the Participant for the remainder of the Participant's life. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the normal form of payment otherwise provided under this Plan, the Plan Administrator may direct, in its sole and absolute discretion, that benefits shall be paid in a single sum that is the actuarial equivalent of the annual benefit payable to the Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, to his or her surviving spouse. 2 3 7. SPOUSAL BENEFITS. Should a Participant die before retirement benefits have begun to be paid to the Participant under this Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to retire on the later of (i) the day before his/her death, or (ii) the first day of the first calendar month thereafter in which the Participant would have attained age 55, and the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the benefit that would have been paid to the Participant. If the Participant dies after retirement benefits have commenced, the participant's surviving spouse shall be entitled to annual benefit payments equal to the annual benefit previously payable to the Participant. In each case, the benefit shall continue for the lesser of (i) ten years or (ii) a number of years equal to the number of years that the Participant was a member of the Board; provided, however, that payments shall not continue after the death of the spouse. 8. DISABILITY. Should a Participant become totally and permanently disabled prior to retirement for a period of six (6) consecutive months while a member of the Board and the Board determines that such disability will continue, the Participant will be deemed to have retired on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the Board makes such determination and the age of the Participant on such retirement date shall be deemed the older of (i) 55, or (ii) the Participant's actual age on that date. Payments will be made on the same basis as described in Sections 5, 6 and 7 above. 9. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph 9 shall apply to any Participant whose membership on the Board ends before a Change of Control occurs or who is a member of the Board on the date that a Change of Control occurs and who ceases within twenty-four (24) months after a Change of Control to be a member of the Board for any reason. (a) Each such Participant shall be immediately vested in his or her retirement benefit payable under this Plan. (b) The Company shall contribute to the trust maintained pursuant to the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. Benefits Protection Trust Agreement a lump sum amount equal to the then-present value of the Participant's retirement benefit. This lump sum payment to the trust shall be due on the later of (i) the date when the Change of Control occurs or (ii) the date the Participant ceases to be a member of the Board. The retirement benefit of a Participant who ceases to be a member of the Board within twenty-four months after a Change of Control shall be computed as if the Participant would retire on the first day that he or she is eligible to retire (whether an Early Retirement Date or a Normal Retirement Date) following the Change of Control and the end of his or her membership on the Board. Any retirement benefits to which the Participant is entitled under the terms of this Plan shall be payable from the trust, except to the extent that the benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. 3 4 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the form of payment otherwise provided for in this paragraph 9, the Plan Administrator may direct, in its sole and absolute discretion, that upon a Change of Control benefits under this Plan shall be paid in a single lump sum that is the actuarial equivalent of the annual benefits payable to the Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, to his or her surviving spouse. (d) "Change of Control" means a change of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the membership of the Board (excluding membership changes resulting from normal retirement of directors) within a twenty-four (24) month period following the acquisition of beneficial ownership by any person or entity, or group of persons or entities and their affiliates acting in concert, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting securities of the Company. "Affiliates" and "beneficial ownership" shall be defined in accordance with Rules 12b-2 and 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the same may from time to time be amended. 10. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time and may amend the Plan from time to time but no such termination or amendment shall adversely affect the rights of Participants under this Plan, which shall be deemed fully vested and irrevocable on the date that a director becomes a Participant in accordance with paragraph 3 above. 11.
