SUNRISE TELECOM INCORPORATED

CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN

This Change of Control Severance Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide designated employees ("Employee") of Sunrise Telecom Incorporated (the "Company") with an incentive to remain with the Company through a Change of Control.

RECITALS

A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider strategic alternatives which might include a change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to the Employee and can cause the Employee to consider alternative employment opportunities at a time when the retention of the Employee's services may be critical to the Company's well being. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company.

B. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Employee with severance benefits following a Change of Control which provides the Employee with enhanced financial security and provides incentive and encouragement to the Employee to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.

C. The benefits which are provided by virtue of this Plan are in consideration of Employee's future execution of an agreement to certain terms, including a release of all claims against the Company as set forth in Schedule A of this Plan ("Benefits").

D. Certain terms used within the Plan are defined in Section 10 below.

E. The Plan will be administered for the exclusive purpose of providing participants and their beneficiaries Benefits in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Plan is an employee welfare benefit plan as defined in ERISA. The Plan is not intended to be a pension plan under section 3(2)(A) of ERISA and shall be maintained and administered so as not to be such a plan. Further, this Plan shall be administered in a manner designed to avoid adverse federal income tax consequences by either avoiding deferral of compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, or by complying with Section 409A.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Effective Date of Plan. This Plan shall become effective as of June 21, 2006.

2. At-Will Employment. The Company and the Employee acknowledge that the Employee's employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. If the Employee's employment terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination more than four months prior to or twelve months following a Change of Control, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by this Plan, or as may otherwise be available in accordance with the Company's established employee plans, state and/or federal law concerning compensation due Employee at termination, or pursuant to other written agreements between the Employee and the Company.

3. Eligibility. Each employee who has been designated by the Company as a participant in the Plan is identified on Schedule B attached hereto. No individuals other than those identified on Schedule B shall be entitled to participate in this Plan. No severance payment will be made pursuant to this Plan unless and until the participant has executed Schedule A and the appropriate interval for payment, if any, has expired.

4. Change of Control Retention/Severance Benefits.

(a) Involuntary Termination other than for Cause or Voluntary Termination for Good Reason. If (i) Employee's employment with the Company terminates within the four (4) months prior to a Change of Control, or (ii) Employee's employment with the Company terminates within the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, and either of these terminations is by virtue of: (A) an involuntary termination by the Company other than for Cause, or (B) a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined herein), then the Company shall provide Employee with the following benefits:

(i) Base Salary. Within thirty (30) days of the triggering event, pay Employee a lump sum (less applicable withholding) in an amount equal to a percentage of Employee's annual base salary in effect as of the date of such termination and as set forth in Schedule B. If the Employee's departure was a departure contemplated by Section 4(a) of this Plan and also was within the four (4) months prior to a Change of Control, the Company agrees to make this payment within thirty (30) days of the Change of Control.

(ii) COBRA Reimbursement. Provide to Employee, upon his termination of employment with the Company, and his election of insurance continuation benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), one hundred percent (100%) reimbursement for such Company-paid health, dental and vision coverage as the Employee is eligible for and actually elects pursuant to COBRA for the number of months following such termination that are specified for the Employee in Schedule B. Employee agrees to supply Employer with verification of Employee's COBRA payments for purposes of reimbursement, and such reimbursement will occur within thirty (30) days of the Employee supplying sufficient and satisfactory proof of same. The Company's reimbursement for the Employee's COBRA premiums shall continue until the earlier of (A) the end of the last month provided under Schedule B following the month in which the date of termination o ccurred, or (B) the date that the Employee and his dependents become eligible for coverage under another employer's group health, dental and vision benefit plans that provide Employee and his dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage. For purposes of Title X of the of COBRA, the date of the "qualifying event" for Employee and his dependents shall be the date upon which the Company-Paid Coverage terminates.

(b) Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause. If the Employee's employment terminates by reason of the Employee's voluntary resignation (and is not a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason), or if the Employee is terminated for Cause, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company's then existing severance and benefits plans, if any, or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.

(c) Termination Apart from Change of Control. In the event the Employee's employment is terminated for any reason either: (i) more than four (4) months prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control; (ii) or after the twelve (12) month period following a Change of Control, or (iii) after the Termination of this Plan, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the Company's existing severance and benefits plans, if any, or pursuant to such other written agreements with the Company as may at that time exist.

5. Taxation and Offset of Severance Benefits.

(a) Taxation of Benefits. Employment and income taxes shall be deducted or withheld from benefits under this Agreement to the extent required by law.

(b) Benefit Offsets; Reduction for Costs of Dispute. Benefits may be offset by any amount owed by an Eligible Employee to the Company. Benefits may be reduced at the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator by the amount of any expenses incurred in resolving a dispute with any person claiming entitlement to such Benefits.

(c) Integration with Other Payments. Benefits under this Plan are not intended to duplicate such benefits as workers' compensation wage replacement benefits, disability benefits, pay-in-lieu-of-notice, severance pay, or similar benefits under other benefit plans, severance programs, employment contracts, or applicable laws, such as the WARN Act. Should such other benefits be payable, your benefits under this Plan will be reduced accordingly or, alternatively, benefits previously paid under this Plan will be treated as having been paid to satisfy such other benefit obligations. In either case, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine how to apply this provision and may override other provisions in this Plan in doing so.

6. Funding. Benefits provided by the Company under the Plan shall be funded solely out of the Company's general assets.

7. Plan Administration.

(a) Plan Administration Responsibilities. The Company is the Plan Administrator and is a named fiduciary, within the meaning of ERISA sections 3(16)(A) and 402. The Plan Administrator shall have full discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan, including discretionary authority to determine eligibility for participation and for benefits under the terms of the Plan. The Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with its terms and their intended meanings. However, the Plan Administrator and all Plan fiduciaries shall have the discretion to interpret or construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms in any fashion they deem to be appropriate in their sole discretion, and to make any findings of fact needed in the administration of the Plan. The validity of any such interpretation, construction, decision, or finding of fact shall not be given de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitratio n, or in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly arbitrary or capricious. The Plan Administrator's duties under the Plan, which shall be carried out through its directors, officers and employees, acting on behalf of and in the name of the Company in their capacities as directors, officers and employees and not as individual fiduciaries, shall include the following:

(i) Benefit Determinations. The Plan Administrator shall have final discretionary authority in determining claims for Benefits including, but not limited to, determining eligibility to participate, determining whether and to what extent Benefits are provided by the Plan and authorizing payment of benefits.

(ii) Reports. The Plan Administrator shall compile and maintain all records necessary for proper administration of the Plan.

(iii) Appointments. The Plan Administrator shall engage individuals or entities to perform such legal, actuarial, accounting and other professional and clerical services as may be necessary or proper, and to terminate the services of these individuals or entities upon such notice as the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems reasonable and prudent.

(iv) Interpretation. The Plan Administrator shall make and publish such rules for administration of the Plan as are deemed necessary or appropriate.

(v) Corrections. The Plan Administrator shall correct any error or miscalculation, to the extent practical.

(vi) Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Plan Administrator shall have final discretionary authority in determining claims for violation of applicable employment laws, specifically including federal, state and local laws addressing the employment practices described in Section 18.

(b) Binding Effect of Determinations. Any final determination by a named fiduciary or its delegate will be binding and conclusive upon all persons. To the extent the Plan Administrator or any Plan fiduciary has been granted discretionary authority under the Plan, the Plan Administrator's or Plan fiduciary's prior exercise of such authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter.

(c) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and reimburse, to the full extent permitted by law, all Company board members and employees who may be deemed fiduciaries of the Plan, in connection with carrying out the Plan Administrator's duties under the Plan for all expenses, losses, and liabilities arising from an act or omission in the management of the Plan. The Company may satisfy this indemnification obligation through the purchase of insurance.

(d) Drafting Errors. If, due to errors in drafting, any Plan provision does not accurately reflect its intended meaning, as demonstrated by consistent interpretations or other evidence of intent, or as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, the provision shall be considered ambiguous and shall be interpreted by the Plan Administrator and all Plan fiduciaries in a fashion consistent with its intent, as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall amend the Plan retroactively to cure any such ambiguity.

(e) Subsidiary Disclosure Authority. No Plan fiduciary shall have the authority to answer questions about any pending or final business decision of the Company or any affiliate that has not been officially announced, to make disclosures about such matters, or even to discuss them, and no person shall rely on any unauthorized, unofficial disclosure. Thus, before a decision is officially announced, no fiduciary is authorized to tell any person, for example, that he or she will or will not be laid off or that the Company will or will not offer exit incentives in the future. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude any fiduciary from fully participating in the consideration, making, or official announcement of any business decision.

8. Claims Procedures.

(a) Claims for Benefits. All claims regarding eligibility to participate in the Plan or payment of Benefits or a violation of applicable laws described in Section 18 shall be handled in accordance with this section.

(i) Claim. In general, participants shall receive Benefits without having to file a claim. Any other individual claiming eligibility under the Plan to receive a Benefit that has not been paid must complete and file an application for benefits with the Plan Administrator pursuant to procedures established by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator has designated the Payroll Manager as the Claims Administrator and has delegated to the Claims Administrator the authority to review all applications for Benefits. It will notify the claimant in writing of its decision within 90 days of receipt of the claimant's application. If special circumstances require any extension of time (not to exceed an additional 90 days) for processing the claim, the Claims Administrator must notify the claimant in writing of the extension prior to the expiration of the initial 90 day period.

(ii) Denial. If the Claims Administrator denies a claim for benefits in whole or in part, the denial notice will state clearly, in language calculated to be understood by the claimant:

(1) The specific reason(s) for the denial,

(2) References to the pertinent Plan sections,

(3) What additional material or information the claimant must provide so that the Plan Administrator can reconsider the claim or pay the claim, and

(4) The Plan's appeal procedure.

(b) Appeal. If a claim has been denied by the Claims Administrator, the claimant may appeal the denial within 60 days after receipt of written notice of the denial by submitting, in writing, to the Plan Administrator a request for review of the denial of claim. As part of the appeal process, a claimant may submit a written statement of issues and comments concerning the claim and may request an opportunity to review the Plan and any other pertinent documents. If so requested, the Plan Administrator shall provide copies of the requested documents at a reasonable charge or make these documents available to the claimant within 30 days after its receipt of a copy of the request, at a convenient location, during regular business hours.

(c) Review. If a claimant appeals, the Plan Administrator, pursuant to its discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan and to determine eligibility for benefits under the terms of the Plan, will render its final decision, with the specific reasons therefor in writing, and transmit this decision to the claimant within 60 days of its receipt of the request for review. If special circumstances require an extension of time, written notice of the extension will be given to the claimant before the end of the original 60 day period, and a decision will be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.

(d) Time Limits. All claims for Plan Benefits must be filed no later than fifteen months following the date of any change of control. Any claim not made within the applicable time limit shall be waived.

(e) Exhaustion of Remedies. Any person claiming entitlement to a Benefit under this Plan must exhaust the claims procedures described in this Section 8 prior to pursuing any other remedy.

9. Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be amended or terminated in whole or in part at any time, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, as plan sponsor, by a written instrument signed by an authorized Company employee. Unless extended by the Company, this Plan will terminate on December 31, 2010.
