4

pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to ADC and Andrew. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, ADC shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of Andrew Common Stock, the shares of ADC Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a). In addition, ADC shall make available by depositing with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time as needed, cash in an amount sufficient to make the payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or distributions to which holders of shares of Andrew Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c). All cash and ADC Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the Exchange Fund.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, ADC shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Andrew Common Stock and that at the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 (the Certificates), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for whole shares of ADC Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of whole shares of ADC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 (which, as required by the ADC By-Laws (as defined in Section 3.1(b)), shall be issued in uncertificated book entry form only), payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Andrew Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Andrew, the proper number of shares of ADC Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of ADC Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of ADC that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) upon such surrender. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or Section 2.2(c).

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to ADC Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of ADC Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.1(e), until such Certificate has been surrendered in accordance with this Article II. Subject to Applicable Law (as defined in Section 3.7(a)), following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the recordholder thereof,

5

without interest, (i) promptly after such surrender, the number of whole shares of ADC Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to this Article II, together with any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of ADC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of ADC Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of ADC Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Andrew Common Stock. All shares of ADC Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II and any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or Section 2.2(c) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Andrew Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Andrew shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Andrew Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to ADC, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to ADC for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c).

(f) No Liability. None of ADC, Merger Sub, Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of ADC Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any shares of ADC Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of ADC Common Stock or any dividends or distributions with respect to ADC Common Stock issuable in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.3(e)), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Withholding Rights. ADC or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person who was a holder of Andrew Common Stock, options or other securities or rights immediately prior to the Effective Time such amounts as ADC or the Exchange Agent may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by ADC or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

6

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of ADC Common Stock as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1(a), cash for fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c); provided, however, that ADC may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to ADC, or a bond in such sum as ADC may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be made against ADC or the Exchange Agent in respect of the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(i) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by ADC on a daily basis provided that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to former stockholders of Andrew after the Effective Time pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to this Article II shall promptly be paid to ADC.
