permissible timing of exercise of the Option; and (iii) any other restrictions that the Company
deems necessary and advisable, including but not limited to restrictions pertaining to applicable

for any failure to obtain any particular market price due to delays in the exercise of this Option
or any other reason.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This Exhibit A is part of and incorporated by reference into the Nonqualified Stock Option
Agreement (the “Agreement”) issued by ADC Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the
Company’s Global Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning given such term in the
Agreement.

1. Grant of Option

Refer to the Agreement for a description of the Option grants, including the total number of shares
of Common Stock covered by this Option, the exercise price per share, and the schedule for vesting.
This Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

2. Duration and Exercisability

	 	(a)	 	Subject to early vesting as provided in Section 3 below, this Option
shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth on the
Agreement. This Option shall in all events terminate seven (7) years after the date of
grant, if not earlier in the event of termination of employment.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions contained in Section 2(a) above, but subject to
the other terms and conditions set forth herein, this Option shall become fully vested
and exercisable on the date of a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined). For
purposes of the Agreement and this Exhibit A to the Agreement, the following terms
shall have the definitions set forth below:

	 	(i)	 	“Change in Control” shall mean:

	 	(A)	 	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 Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not
the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement;
	 
	 	(B)	 	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;
	 
	 	(C)	 	the Continuing Directors cease to constitute a
majority of the Company’s Board of Directors;
	 
	 	(D)	 	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;
	 
	 	(E)	 	approval by the shareholders of the Company of
a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
	 
	 	(F)	 	the majority of the Continuing Directors
determine in their sole and absolute discretion that there has been a
change in control of the Company.
	 
	 	(G)	 	The definition of “Change in Control” is
subject to changes as may be determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Company’s Board of Directors as necessary to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as added by
the American Jobs Creation Act.

	 	(ii)	 	“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 (x) was a member of the Board of Directors on the date of this
Agreement as first written above or (y) 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

2

 

	 	 	 	Directors. For purposes of this subparagraph (ii), “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 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.

	 	(c)	 	This Option shall not be assignable or transferable except to a designated
beneficiary (under procedures established by the Company) or by the laws of descent and
distribution in the case of the death of Optionee, and except that for U.S. resident
employees, upon written notice to the Company, U.S. resident employees may transfer
this Option during his or her lifetime to any “family member” (as such term is used on
Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933) of Optionee provided that (i) there is no
consideration for such transfer or such transfer is effected pursuant to a domestic
relations order in settlement of marital property rights, and (ii) this Option held by
such transferees shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions
(including restrictions on subsequent transfers) as were applicable to this Option
immediately prior to such transfer. This Option may not be pledged, alienated,
attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or
encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company.
	 
	 	(d)	 	This Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of Optionee, only by
Optionee, a permitted transferee pursuant to a transfer permitted by Section 2(c)
above, or, if permissible under applicable law, by Optionee’s or such transferee’s
guardian or legal representative.

3. Effect of Termination of Employment

	 	(a)	 	For all purposes of the Agreement and this Exhibit A, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

	 	(i)	 	“Employment Termination Date” shall mean the earlier of:

	 	•	 	the date, as determined by the Company, that Optionee is 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
	 
	 	•	 	the date, as determined by the Company, that Optionee’s employer is
no longer an Affiliate of the Company.

3

 

	 	(ii) “Retirement” shall mean the voluntary termination of Optionee’s employment with
his or her Employer if (a) Optionee is employed in a country on his or her
Employment Termination Date that on the Grant Date was not a member of the European
Union and (i) Optionee is at least 55 years old, and (ii) Optionee’s age in years
plus years of service (as defined by the Company in its sole discretion for the
purposes of this Option) equals at least 65; or (b) Optionee is employed in a
country on his or her Employment Termination Date that on the Grant Date was a
member of the European Union and Optionee has at least 30 years of service (as
defined by the Company in its sole discretion for the purposes of this Option).

	 	(b)	 	In the event the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its
Affiliates for any reason other than death, long-term disability, or Retirement, then
Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option at any time within one year after
the Employment Termination Date to the extent of the number of vested shares Optionee
was entitled to purchase under the Option on the Employment Termination Date, subject
to the condition that no Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
	 
	 	(c)	 	In the event the Optionee dies while an employee of the Company or any of its
Affiliates or within three months after the Employment Termination Date or suffers a
long-term disability, this Option shall become fully vested and exercisable. The
Option may then be exercised at any time within one year after Optionee’s death or
long-term disability by the executors or administrators of Optionee, by any person or
persons to whom the Option is transferred by the prior designation of a beneficiary or
the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or by the Optionee, as the case may
be. Any determination that Optionee’s 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.
	 
	 	(d)	 	In the event of the Retirement of the Optionee, then this Option shall continue to
vest according to the schedule set forth on the Agreement. Optionee shall then have
the right to exercise this Option for a period of time following the Employment
Termination Date until the earlier to occur of (1) the Expiration Date and (2) the five
year anniversary of the Employment Termination Date. In the event of Optionee’s
Retirement, the vesting of this Option is conditioned upon Optionee complying with the
following non-competition restrictions: For one year following the effective date of
Optionee’s Retirement from the Company, Optionee may not, without the Company’s prior
written consent, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or any other person or
entity, as agent, employee, officer, director, consultant, owner, principal, partner or
material shareholder, or in any other individual or representative capacity: (i)
engage in or participate in any activity that competes, directly or indirectly, with
any Company business, product or service that Optionee engaged in, participated in, or
had confidential information (as described below) about during Optionee’s employment or
(ii) assist anyone in engaging in any of the activities which Optionee is prohibited
from engaging in directly in his or her own capacity. Optionee specifically agrees and
acknowledges that the Company’s business competes on a global basis and that this
restriction is reasonable and will apply throughout the

4

 

	 	 	 	global locations where the Company conducts business. To the extent Optionee and
the Company at any time agree to enter into separate agreements containing
restrictions with different or inconsistent terms than those herein, Optionee and
the Company acknowledge and agree that such different or inconsistent terms shall
not in any way affect or have relevance to the restrictions contained herein. By
accepting this Option, Optionee agrees that the provisions of this non-competition
restriction are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the
Company.
	 
	 	(e)	 	No further vesting of this Option shall occur after the Employment Termination
Date, and this Option shall be exercisable in accordance with this Section 3 following
the Employment Termination Date only to the extent that it is exercisable on the
Employment Termination Date, pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the
Agreement and Section 2 hereof.

4. Manner of Exercise

The Option can be exercised only by Optionee or other proper party within the option period by
notice to the Company or the Company’s third-party stock option administrator in a form specified
by the Company or such third-party stock option administrator, or in such other manner as the
Company may specify from time-to-time. The Company shall have the right to specify all conditions
of the manner of exercise, and such conditions may vary by country and may be subject to change
from time to time.

5. Adjustments

If Optionee exercises all or any portion of the Option subsequent to any change in the number or
character of the Common Stock (through stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or
exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or
other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other similar
corporate transaction or event affecting the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by
the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Option),
Optionee shall then receive for the aggregate price paid by him or her on such exercise of the
Option, the number and type of securities or other consideration which he would have received if
such Option had been exercised prior to the event changing the number or character of outstanding
shares.

6. Responsibility for Taxes

Regardless of any action taken by the Company or Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) with respect
to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related
withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all
Tax-Related Items is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer
(i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in
connection with any aspect of the Option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the
Option, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any
dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option
to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

5

 

Prior to exercise of the Option, Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to
the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of
the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the
Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Optionee from Optionee’s
wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer or from
proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law,
the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that Optionee acquires to meet the
withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in shares, provided that the
Company only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.
Finally, Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the
Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the
Plan or Optionee’s purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if Optionee fails to
comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this
section.

	7.	 	Workforce Protection

The Optionee understands that the Company has an important business interest in preserving and
retaining its relationships with its employees and its Affiliates’ employees
(collectively, the “Covered Employees”). In consideration of Optionee’s employment with
the Company and/or this agreement, during the term of Optionee’s employment and for one year
thereafter, the Optionee promises that Optionee will not directly or indirectly or in
cooperation with others:

	 	(i) Seek, encourage, solicit, or attempt to solicit any Covered Employee to leave
his or her employment for any reason or in any way interfere with his or her
employment relationship;
	 
	 	(ii) Induce or attempt to induce any Covered Employee to accept employment with,
work for, render services or provide advice to or supply confidential business
information or trade secrets of the Company or its Affiliates to any other person;
or
	 
	 	(iii) Employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any Covered Employee in any
other business enterprise.
	 
	 	As part of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company and without limiting the
foregoing, Optionee specifically agrees that for the one year period after
Optionee’s employment with the Company terminates, Optionee will not interview,
recommend for hire, identify or provide any input to any third party in which
Optionee has an interest as an employee, officer, consultant, director or owner
about any Covered Employee where the purpose or outcome of such action by Optionee
is to recruit, provide a reference or otherwise assist a Covered Employee to leave
his or her employment and join the third party in which the Optionee has an interest
as described herein. The Optionee also acknowledges that Optionee’s promises as
contained herein are not excused in circumstances where the Covered Employee
initiates a discussion of this nature with Optionee. In that event, Optionee agrees
to advise the Covered Employee of Optionee’s obligations hereunder. The Optionee
further agrees that during the one year period after the Optionee leaves the
Company, Optionee will inform any new employer Optionee may have of Optionee’s
obligations under this Agreement.

6

 

8. Confidential Information

	 	(a)	 	In further consideration of the grant of the Option, the Optionee specifically
acknowledges and agrees that Optionee is bound to protect the Company’s confidential
information which includes but is not limited to proprietary information, confidential
data and any other representation of Company knowledge, whether verbal, printed,
written or electronically recorded or transmitted. This includes confidential
information concerning any technologies, concepts, engineering, sales and financial
details, customer names and information, pricing, business strategies and other related
or similar confidential data. Optionee acknowledges that the obligation to protect the
Company’s confidential information continues after Optionee leaves the Company,
regardless of the reason. Optionee agrees to refrain from giving future employers any
confidential information belonging to the Company. This obligation to preserve
confidential information exists independently of and in addition to any obligation to
which the Optionee is subject under the terms of the Company’s Invention, Copyright and
Trade Secret Agreement, or other similar document.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Optionee acknowledges that breach of this Section 8 would be highly
injurious to the Company, and the Company reserves its rights to pursue all available
remedies, including but not limited to equitable and injunctive relief and damages.
The Optionee specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to obtain temporary
and permanent injunctive relief from a court of law to enforce the provisions of this
Section 8, and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual
damages and without necessity of posting any bond. This provision with respect to
injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim and
recover damages or to seek and obtain any other relief available to it. The Optionee
further acknowledges that this Section 8 shall be enforceable by the Company even if no
portion of the Option becomes vested and exercisable.

9. Data Privacy Consent

Optionee hereby explicitly consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other
form, of his or her personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the
Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing
Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

Optionee understands that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about
Optionee, including, but not limited to, Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date
of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, details of all options
or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or
outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the
Plan (“Data”). Optionee understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in
the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located
in Optionee’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data
privacy laws and protections than Optionee’s country. Optionee understands that Optionee may
request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting
ADC’s Global Rewards — Stock Compensation Group. Optionee authorizes the recipients to

7

 

receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes
of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any
requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom
Optionee may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired upon exercise of the Option. Optionee
understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage
Optionee’s participation in the Plan and that Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request
additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments
to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in
writing ADC’s Global Rewards — Stock Compensation Group. Optionee understands, however, that
refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the
Plan. For more information on the consequences of Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, Optionee may contact ADC’s Global Rewards — Stock Compensation Group.

10. Nature of Grant

In accepting the grant, Optionee acknowledges that:

	 	(a)	 	The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in
nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as
provided in the Plan and this Agreement. The Option is subject in all respects to the
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of
options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past.
	 
	 	(c)	 	All decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further
employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and shall not interfere with the
ability of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate Optionee’s employment
relationship at any time with or without cause.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of
any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and is
outside the scope of Optionee’s employment contract, if any.
	 
	 	(g)	 	The Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any
purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation,
termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension
or retirement benefits or similar payments.
	 
	 	(h)	 	In the event that Optionee is not an employee of the Company, the Option grant
will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the
Company; and furthermore, the Option grant will not be interpreted to form an
employment contract with any Affiliate of the Company.
	 
	 	(i)	 	The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted
with certainty.

8

 

	 	(j)	 	If the underlying shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value.

	 	(k)	 	If Optionee exercises the Option and obtains shares, the value of those shares
acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise
price.

	 	(l)	 	No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of
the Option or diminution in value of the Option or shares purchased through exercise of
the Option which results from the termination of Optionee’s employment by the Company
or the Employer (for any reason and regardless of whether in breach of contract), and
Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that
may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have
waived his/her entitlement to pursue such claim.

	 	(m)	 	Optionee consents to the delivery by electronic means of any documents related
to the Option, the Plan or future options that may be granted under the Plan.

11. Miscellaneous

	 	(a)	 	Optionee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares
subject to this Option until such shares shall have been issued upon exercise of this
Option.

	 	(b)	 	This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic laws of the State of Minnesota without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Minnesota or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the State of Minnesota. The Company and the Optionee 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, and agree that all claims in
respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court.
Each of the Company and the Optionee also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Company
and the Optionee waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any
action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that
might be required of the other party with respect thereto. The Company and the
Optionee agree that a final judgment in any 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.

	 	(c)	 	To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by any court
to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to
be deleted from this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of
such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. In furtherance of and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Optionee expressly agrees that should the duration of,
geographical extent of, or

9

 

	 	 	 	business activities covered by Section 7 of this Agreement be in excess of that

ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.

THREE-YEAR TIME BASED

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

TO:

RSU#:

SAP EMPLOYEE ID#:

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 the additional terms and conditions set forth 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:                                                                                  (hereinafter “Grant Date”)

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

3. Vesting Schedule: Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Award will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date provided that you have been
continuously employed since the Grant Date by the Company and 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 (or such other vesting date as is provided in Section 10
below), you shall receive, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement, one share of Common Stock for each restricted stock unit (the “Shares”). 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. For all purposes of this Agreement, the term “Employment
Termination Date” shall mean the earlier of:

     (a) 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

     (b) the date, as determined by the Company, that your employer is no longer an Affiliate of
the Company.

     (c) 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.

     (d) 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 and its Affiliates’ employees
(collectively, the “Covered Employees”). In consideration of your employment with the Company
as well as the entry by the Company into 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 Covered Employee to leave
his or her employment for any reason or in any way interfere with his or her employment
relationship;

	 	(b)	 	Induce or attempt to induce any Covered Employee to accept employment with,
work for, render services or provide advice to or supply confidential business
information or trade secrets of the Company or its Affiliates to any other person or
entity; or

	 	(c)	 	Employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any Covered Employee 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 Covered Employee where
the purpose or outcome of such action by you is to recruit, provide a reference or otherwise assist
a Covered Employee to leave his or her employment 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 Covered Employee initiates a discussion of this nature with you.
In that event, you agree to advise the Covered 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.

2

 

     (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 your residence address and notify the Company of any
changes to the same before any taxable event arises as a result of the Award (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 Stock Compensation Program 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.

     (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/Portional Vesting.

     (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 entire Award
shall become immediately vested 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

3

 

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

     (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
shall become immediately vested in full. You hereby agree that any determination that your
employment has been terminated because of a long-term disability shall be subject to the written

4

 

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 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. The prorated number of units that shall become subject to vesting will be
calculated based on the following formula: (a) (the number of calendar days you were actively
employed following the Grant Date and through the Employment Termination Date divided by 1,095)
multiplied by (b) the Target Award Number. For example, if you were actively employed for 300
days, and if this Award covers 100 units, then you would become vested in 27 units (i.e. (300/1095)
x 100 = 27.4). On your Employment Termination Date, the portion of your Award that does not become
subject to future vesting will be forfeited and immediately
cancelled.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If your employment with your Employer is terminated prior to the Scheduled
Vest Date because of your Retirement, then this entire Award will vest on the earlier
to occur of the Scheduled Vest Date or a Change of Control. In the event of your
Retirement, any vesting of your Award is conditioned upon you complying with the
following non-competition restrictions: For one year following the effective date of
your Retirement from the Company, you may not, without the Company’s prior written
consent, directly or indirectly, for yourself or any other person or entity, as agent,
employee, officer, director, consultant, owner, principal, partner or material
shareholder, or in any other individual or representative capacity: (i) engage in or
participate in any activity that competes, directly or indirectly, with any Company
business, product or service that you engaged in, participated in, or had confidential
information (as described below) about during your employment or (ii) assist anyone in
engaging in any of the activities which you are prohibited from engaging in directly
in your own capacity. You specifically agree and acknowledge that the Company’s
business competes on a global basis and that this restriction is reasonable and will
apply throughout the global locations where the Company conducts business. To the
extent you and the Company at any time agree to enter into separate agreements
containing restrictions with different or inconsistent terms than those herein, you
and the Company acknowledge and agree that such different or inconsistent terms shall
not in any way affect or have relevance to the restrictions contained herein. By
accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, you agree that the provisions of
this non-competition restriction are reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of the Company.

     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.

5

 

	 	(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,
then upon vesting of the Award, for each Share acquired, you shall receive the total number and
kind of securities or other property to which you would have been entitled had you owned the Shares
of record as of the date the stock dividend, stock split or consolidation or the like capital
adjustment occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, all new, substituted or additional securities or
other property to which you become entitled by reason of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be subject to forfeiture to the Company with the same force and effect as is the Award.

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 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 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 conditions of the Plan
to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of your employment (whether or not in
breach of local labor laws), your right to receive Awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate on
the Employment Termination Date.

16. Confidential Information.

	 	(a)	 	In further consideration of the grant of this Award, you specifically acknowledge
and agree you are bound to protect the Company’s confidential information which
includes but is not limited to proprietary information, confidential data and any other
representation of Company knowledge, whether verbal, printed, written or electronically
recorded or transmitted. This includes confidential information concerning any
technologies, concepts, engineering, sales and financial details, customer names and
information, pricing, business strategies and other related or similar confidential
data. You acknowledge that the obligation to protect the Company’s confidential
information continues after you leave the Company, regardless of the reason. You agree
to refrain from giving future employers any confidential information belonging to the
Company. This obligation to preserve confidential information exists independently of
and in addition to any obligation to which you are subject under the terms of the
Company’s Invention, Copyright and Trade Secret Agreement, or other similar document.

	 	(b)	 	You acknowledge that breach of this Section 16 would be highly injurious to
the Company, and the Company reserves its rights to pursue all available remedies,
including but not limited to equitable and injunctive relief and damages. You
specifically agree that the Company shall be entitled to obtain temporary 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 damages and without necessity of posting any bond. This provision with respect
to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim
and recover damages or to seek and obtain any other relief available to it. You
further acknowledge that this Section 16 shall be enforceable by the Company even if
no portion of this Award becomes vested.

17. Data Privacy Consent. You hereby consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or
other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the
Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing
your participation in the Plan. You understand that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain
personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates,
and details of all Awards to you under the Plan, for the purpose of implementing, administering and
managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties
assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients
may be located in your country of residence or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have
different data privacy laws and protections than your country of residence. You may request a list

settlement of the Award. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to
implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan and that you may, at any time, view
Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any
necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost,
