 Under the above schedule, before the one-year anniversary, no part of the award is vested or nonforteitable. 

One share of the Company’s Common Stock shall be issued to the Participant for every RSU that becomes vested pursuant to the schedule above. The Company
will issue shares of Common Stock to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable following the date the applicable portion of the RSUs have become vested; provided, however, if any law or regulation requires the Company to take any
action (including, but not limited to, the filing of a registration statement under the 1933 Act and causing such registration statement to become effective) with respect to such shares of Common Stock before the issuance thereof, then the date of
delivery of the shares shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action, to the maximum extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code. The unvested portion of the RSUs shall be forfeited in the event the Participant incurs a
Separation from Service for any reason.

completed, and the Agreement should then be forwarded to Brandon Dang via interoffice mail or sent to BRANDON.DANG@adtran.com. The Participant may modify this designation of beneficiary only in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan.
If no beneficiary is designated, then except as may be provided in the Plan, any benefits due hereunder following the death of the Participant will be paid to the Participant’s estate. 







 The RSUs granted above are subject to all restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the ADTRAN, Inc. 2015
Employee Stock Incentive Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. The Participant has received a copy of the Plan’s prospectus, including a copy of the Plan. The
