          BELDEN CDT INC. LONG-TERM CASH PERFORMANCE PLAN (SUMMARY)

The Belden CDT Inc. Long-Term Cash Performance Plan is part of the long-term
component of Belden CDT management's total compensation (the other long-term
components being stock options, stock appreciation rights and other awards under
the Long-Term Incentive Plan). Awards are given annually and have four- year
performance cycles. At the end of the four years, the management participant's
cash payment will be determined by the achievement of Company- based financial
objectives during the four-year period. Such financial objectives are based on
the Company's EBITDA and ROIC during the measurement period relative to a
benchmark index. Depending on the Company's attainment of such performance
goals, the award will either result in no payment, a minimum payment, a target
payment, a maximum payment or a payment in between these amounts. The
Compensation Committee establishes the performance goals for each award.
Starting in 2007, cash awards could be made under the plan if the ROIC payout
threshold and performance criteria are met.
