To encourage your continued employment with ADC Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) or its
Affiliates, you have been granted this restricted stock unit award (the “Award”) pursuant to the
Company’s 2008 Global Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Award represents the right to receive
shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to the fulfillment of the vesting conditions set
forth in this agreement and in Exhibit A to this agreement (collectively, this “Agreement”).



The terms of the Award are as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. The Plan is
incorporated into this Agreement by reference, which means that this Agreement is limited by and
subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the
Plan. The terms of the Award are:




1. Grant Date:                                                              (the “Grant Date”)


2. Number of Restricted Stock Units Subject to this Award:                      (the “Target Award
Number”).



3. Vesting Schedule: Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the
Award will vest, in accordance with, and to the extent provided in,
Exhibit A, on
          ; provided you have been continuously employed since the Grant Date by the Company or its
Affiliates. The day on which your Award is scheduled to vest pursuant to this Section 3 is
referred to in this Agreement as the “Scheduled Vest Date.”



4. Conversion of Restricted Stock Units and Issuance of Shares. Subject to the other terms of the
Award, upon the Scheduled Vest Date, you shall receive, in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the Plan and this Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) provided in
Exhibit A. The Company will transfer such Shares to you as soon as administratively

feasible following any vesting of the Award and your satisfaction of any required tax withholding
obligations. No fractional shares shall be issued under this Agreement. No Shares shall be issued
upon vesting of the Award unless such issuance complies with all relevant provisions of law and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed. You understand that your
participation in the Plan is conditioned on the Company obtaining all necessary orders, decisions,
rulings and approvals from the relevant governmental regulatory authorities. The Company reserves
the right to determine the manner in which the Shares are delivered to you, including but not
limited to delivery by direct registration with the Company’s transfer agent or delivery to a
broker designated by the Company.




5. Termination of Employment.





(a) For all purposes of this Agreement, the term “Employment Termination Date” shall mean
the earlier of:




	 	(i)	 	the date, as determined by the Company, that you are no longer
actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and in the
case of an involuntarily termination, such date shall not be extended by any
notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not
include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the date, as determined by the Company, that your employer is
no longer an Affiliate of the Company.






(b) Except as provided in Sections 9(a), (b), (c) and (d) below, if your Employment
Termination Date occurs before the Scheduled Vest Date, the entire Award as of your
Employment Termination Date shall be forfeited and immediately cancelled.




(c) The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) shall
have the exclusive discretion to determine the Employment Termination Date.


6. Workforce Protection. You understand that the Company has an important business
interest in preserving and retaining its relationships with its employees. In
consideration of your employment with the Company and/or this agreement, during the
term of your employment and for one year thereafter, you promise that you will not
directly or indirectly or in cooperation with others:





	 	(a)	 	Seek, encourage, solicit, or attempt to solicit any employee of the Company to
leave the Company for any reason or in any way interfere with the relationship between
any such employee and the Company;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to accept employment
with, work for, render services or provide advice to or supply confidential business
information or trade secrets of the Company to any person or entity other than the
Company; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	Employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any employee of the Company
in any other business enterprise.




As part of your obligations to the Company and without limiting the foregoing, you specifically
agree that for the one year period after your employment with the Company terminates, you will not
interview, recommend for hire, identify or provide any input to any third party in which you have
an interest as an employee, officer, consultant, director or owner about a Company employee where
the purpose or outcome of such action by you is to recruit, provide a reference or otherwise assist
a Company employee to leave the Company and join the third party in which you have an interest as
described herein. You also acknowledge that your promises as contained herein are not excused in
circumstances where the Company employee initiates a discussion of this nature with you. In that
event, you agree to advise the Company employee of your obligations hereunder. You further agree
that during the one year period after you leave the Company, you will inform any new employer you
may have of your obligations under this Agreement.

7. Right to Shares. You shall not have any right in, to or with respect to any of the Shares
(including any voting rights, rights with respect to cash dividends paid by the Company on shares
of its Common Stock or any other rights whatsoever) issuable under the Award until the Award is
settled by the issuance of such Shares to you.




8. Tax Withholding.





(a) Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the “Employer”) takes with
respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax or other tax-related
withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all
Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that Company
and/or your Employer: (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment
of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant,
vesting or issuance of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents (if any); and (2) do not
commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate
your liability for Tax-Related Items.




As a condition and term of this Award, no election under Section 83(b) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code may be made by you with respect to this Award.




(b) Prior to any taxable event arising as a result of the Award, you must make such
arrangements as the Company or its Affiliates may permit or require for the satisfaction of
tax withholding obligations (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and any non-U.S.
taxes or social contributions) that the Company determines are or may be required in
connection with such event (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”). In connection with
fulfilling your Tax Withholding Obligation, you must provide to the Company the following
information and notify the Company of any changes to the same before any taxable event
arises as a result of the Award: your residence address, and, if applicable to you because
of your Retirement, the certification described in Section 10(d) regarding your acceptance
of employment with any Competitor of the Company (the “Tax Withholding Information”). In
the event you fail to timely and accurately meet your obligations regarding the provision
and maintenance of Tax Withholding Information, then the Company may, in its sole
discretion, cancel your right to receive any of the Shares that are subject to this Award.
The Tax Withholding Information should be sent to ADC’s Global Rewards – Stock Group address
listed on the last page of this Agreement. If permitted by the Company, you may satisfy your
Tax Withholding Obligation in one of the following two ways:




	 	(i)	 	Direct Payment: you may elect to satisfy your Tax
Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company, no later than three (3)
U.S. business days after any vesting (whether in whole or in part) of the
Award, a wire transfer or certified or cashier’s check payable to the Company
in U.S. dollars equal to the amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation, as
determined by the Company. This is referred to as a “Cash Payment Election”;
or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Share Withholding: you may elect to have the Company
retain from the Shares issuable upon any vesting (whether in whole or in part)
of the Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value upon such vesting
that is sufficient to satisfy your Tax Withholding Obligation. This is
referred to as a “Share Withhold Election.”






The Company reserves the right to specify from time-to-time which of the foregoing two
elections will be available and to specify the time and manner for making an election. If
no election is made by you or if you make a Cash Payment Election and fail to deliver the
required funds to the Company on a timely basis, then the Company may, in its sole
discretion, require a Share Withhold Election. Your acceptance of this Award constitutes
your
consent and authorization for the Company to take such action as may be necessary to
effectuate either such election.


Version Effective November 1, 2008

(c) The Company may refuse to issue any Shares to you until you satisfy any Tax Withholding
Obligation.




(d) If your Tax Withholding Obligation is not satisfied by the means described above, you
authorize your Employer to withhold all such obligations from your wages or other cash
compensation paid to you by your Employer.


9. Transfer of Award. Your rights under the Award may only be transferred in accordance with the
terms of the Plan.




10. Acceleration of Scheduled Vest Date.





(a) In the event of a “Change in Control” of the Company both prior to the Scheduled Vest
Date and while you remain employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Award
shall become immediately vested with respect to the number of Shares equal to the Target
Award Number on the effective date of such Change in Control. For purposes of this
Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:




(1) “Change in Control” shall mean:




	 	(i)	 	a change in control of the Company of a nature that would be
required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation
14A promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting
requirement;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the public announcement (which, for purposes of this
definition, shall include, without limitation, a report filed pursuant to
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Company or any “person” (as such term
is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) that such person has
become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding securities, determined in accordance with Rule
13d-3, excluding, however, any securities acquired directly from the Company
(other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege
unless the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the
Company); however, that for purposes of this clause the term “person” shall not
include the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan
of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company or any entity holding shares
of Common Stock organized, appointed or established for, or pursuant to the
terms of, any such plan;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Continuing Directors cease to constitute a majority of the
Company’s Board of Directors;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of,
or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of,
the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such
Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the persons who were the
beneficial owners of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately
prior to such Business Combination beneficially own voting securities of the
corporation resulting from such Business Combination having more than fifty
percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities
of such resulting Corporation and (B) at least a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination
were Continuing Directors at the time of the action of the Board of Directors
of the Company approving such Business Combination;
	 
	 	(v)	 	approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or




Version Effective November 1, 2008

	 	(vi)	 	the majority of the Continuing Directors determine in their
sole and absolute discretion that there has been a change in control of the
Company.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	the definition of “Change in Control” is subject to changes as
may be determined by the Committee as necessary to comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as added by the American Jobs
Creation Act.






	 	(2)	 	“Continuing Director” shall mean any person who is a member of the Board of
Directors of the Company, while such person is a member of the Board of Directors, who
is not an Acquiring Person (as defined below) or an Affiliate or Associate (as defined
below) of an Acquiring Person, or a representative of an Acquiring Person or of any
such Affiliate or Associate, and who (i) was a member of the Board of Directors on the
date of this Agreement as first written above or (ii) subsequently becomes a member of
the Board of Directors, if such person’s initial nomination for election or initial
election to the Board of Directors is recommended or approved by a majority of the
Continuing Directors. For purposes of this subparagraph (b), “Acquiring Person” shall
mean any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act) who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such person, is the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty percent (20%)
or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, but
shall not include the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit
plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company or any entity holding shares of
Common Stock organized, appointed or established for, or pursuant to the terms of, any
such plan; and “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed
to such terms in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act.






(b) If your employment with your Employer is terminated prior to the Scheduled Vest Date
because of your death or long-term disability, then on your Employment Termination Date this
Award will become immediately vested based on the following formula: (1) (i) a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of calendar days you were actively employed during the
entire vesting period and the denominator of which is 1,095 (the “Pro Rata Fraction”)
multiplied by (ii) a number equal to 75% of the Target Award Number, plus (2) (i) the Pro
Rata Fraction multiplied by (ii) a number equal to 25% of the Target Award Number. For
example, if you were actively employed for 500 days during the vesting period, and if this
Award covers 100 units, then you would become vested in 45 units (i.e. ((500/1,095) x 100 x
0.75) + (500/1,095) x 100 x 0.25) = 45.6).




On your Employment Termination Date, the portion of your Award that does not vest will be
forfeited and immediately cancelled. You hereby agree that any determination that your
employment has been terminated because of a long-term disability shall be subject to the
written acknowledgment and agreement of the Company’s legal department made in its sole
discretion.




(c) If your employment with your Employer is terminated prior to the Scheduled Vest Date
because of your Retirement, a Divestiture, a Reduction in Force, or an employment separation
event where you receive notice of opportunity to participate in an ADC Telecommunications,
Inc. severance plan, then a prorated portion of this Award will vest on the earlier to occur
of (i) the Scheduled Vest Date or (ii) a Change of Control. If a Change in Control does not
occur prior to the Scheduled Vest Date, then this Award will only vest if and to the extent
the economic performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A are deemed satisfied
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Award. Subject to the vesting
conditions set forth on Exhibit A, the number of units subject to vesting will be
calculated in the same manner as in (b) above. For example, if you were actively employed
for 500 days during the vesting period, this Award covers 100 units, the One-Year Adjusted
EPS was 92% of the One-Year Adjusted
EPS Target and the Three-Year Adjusted EPS was 117% of the Three-Year Adjusted EPS Target
(as each of those terms is defined in Exhibit A), then you would become vested in 65
units (i.e. ((500/1,095) x (75/2 + (7 x .03333 x 100)) + ((500/1,095) x (25 + (17 x .03333 x



Version Effective November 1, 2008

100)) = 65.0). On your Employment Termination Date, the portion of your Award that does
become subject to vesting will be forfeited and immediately cancelled.




(d) In the event of your Retirement, any vesting of your Award also will be conditioned upon
you not accepting employment with any Competitor of the Company at any time on or prior to
the sooner of one year after your Employment Termination Date and the Scheduled Vest Date.
Prior to the delivery of any units to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, the
satisfaction of this condition must be evidenced by your execution of a written
representation in a form prepared by, and reasonably acceptable to, the Company that such
condition has been met by you. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:




	 	(1)	 	“Retirement” shall mean the voluntary termination of your employment with your
Employer if (a) you are employed in a country on your Employment Termination Date that
on the Grant Date was not a member of the European Union and (i) you are at least 55
years old, and (ii) your age in years plus your years of service (as defined by the
Company in its sole discretion for the purposes of this Award) equals at least 65; or
(b) you are employed in a country on your Employment Termination Date that on the Grant
Date was a member of the European Union and you have at least 30 years of service (as
defined by the Company in its sole discretion for the purposes of this Award).
	 
	 	(2)	 	“Divestiture” shall mean the sale or transfer of the business that employs you
by the Company such that either (i) for any period of time immediately after the moment
the divestiture closes you are an Employee of such business but are no longer employed
by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, or (ii) there has been an involuntary
termination of your employment with your employer both in connection with and prior to
the closing of the sale or transfer of such business; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	“Competitor” shall mean any person or entity who is, or is actively planning to
engage in, the design, manufacture, sale, distribution or servicing of any products or
services that are sold in competition with any of the products or services of the
Company and its Affiliates at any time while you are employed by such person or entity.
	 
	 	(4)	 	“Reduction in Force” means a termination occurring as part of a position
elimination where an offer is made to the impacted employee to participate in ADC’s
general reduction in force or redundancy program.




11. Further Acts. You agree to execute and deliver any additional documents and to perform any
other acts necessary to give full force and effect to the terms of this Agreement.



12. New, Substituted or Additional Securities. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split or
consolidation or any like capital adjustment of any of the outstanding securities of the Company,
all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which you become entitled by
reason of the Award shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company with the same force and effect as
is the Award immediately prior to such event.



13. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect without
being impaired or invalidated in any way.



14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Minnesota without regard to conflict of laws principles. By accepting this Award,
you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Award,
and agree that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any
such court. You also agree not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement in any other court. You hereby waive any defense of inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any action or
proceeding so brought and waive any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of the
Company or any of its Affiliates with respect thereto. You further agree that a final judgment in
any



Version Effective November 1, 2008

action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law or in equity.



15. Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item. By entering into this
Agreement and accepting the Award, you acknowledge that: (a) the Plan is discretionary and may be
modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time as provided in the Plan; (b) the grant
of the Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive
future grants of awards or benefits in lieu of awards; (c) all determinations with respect to any
such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when awards will be granted, the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to each award, the award price, if any, and the time or
times when each award will be settled, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) your
participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the value of the Award is an extraordinary item which
is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any; (f) the Award is not part of normal or
expected compensation for any purpose, including without limitation for calculating any severance,
resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (g) the future value of the Shares subject to
the Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, (h) neither the Plan, the Award nor
the issuance of the Shares confers upon you any right to continue in the employ of (or any other
relationship with) the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor do they limit in any respect the right
of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate your employment or other relationship with the
Company or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, at any time, (i) no claim or entitlement to
compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award which results from the termination of
your employment by the Company or your Employer (for any reason and whether or not in breach of
contract) or any diminution in value of the Award or Shares issued pursuant to the Award and you
irrevocably release the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise, (j) you
consent to the delivery by electronic means of any notices, documents or election forms related to
the Award, the Plan or future grants under the Plan, if any, and (k) notwithstanding any terms or

any, will terminate on the Employment Termination Date.

data and any other representation of Company knowledge, whether verbal, printed,
written or electronically recorded or transmitted. This includes confidential

and permanent injunctive relief from a court of law to enforce the provisions of this
Section 16, and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual

further acknowledges that this Section 16 shall be enforceable by the Company even if
no portion of this Award becomes vested.
