FIRST AMENDMENT TO RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of
December 21, 2001 (this "Amendment" ), is by and among ADC Telecommunications
Sales, Inc. (the " Originator "), ADC Telecommunications, Inc. (the " Originator
Agent ") and ADC Receivables Corp. I ( "Buyer" ), and pertains to the
Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of December 12, 2001 amongst the parties
hereto (the "Agreement" ). Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

         WHEREAS, the Buyer, Originator Agent and the Originator wish to amend
the Agreement as set forth herein; and

         WHEREAS, the Agent, on behalf of Blue Ridge under the Purchase
Agreement, is willing to consent to such amendment.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

        1.    Amendments.    

        (a)  Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

        Section 1.1.    Initial Contribution of Receivables.    On December 21,
2001 (the " Initial Sale Date "), Originator does hereby contribute, assign,
transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, and Buyer does hereby accept
from Originator, Receivables originated by Originator and existing as of the
close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Sale Date
(the "Initial Cutoff Date" ) having an aggregate Outstanding Balance of $250,000
(the "Initial Contributed Receivables" ), together with all Related Security
relating thereto and all Collections thereof.

        (b)  Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby amended by amending in their
entirety the following definitions appearing therein:

"Discount Factor" means a percentage calculated to provide Buyer with a
reasonable return on its investment in the Receivables after taking account of
(i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of
the Receivables and the cost to Buyer of financing its investment in the
Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors.
Originator and Buyer may agree from time to time to change the Discount Factor
based on changes in one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof,
provided that any change to the Discount Factor shall take effect as of the
commencement of a Calculation Period, shall apply only prospectively and shall
not affect the Purchase Price payment made prior to the Calculation Period
during which Originator and Buyer agree to make such change. As of the date of
the First Amendment, the Discount Factor in respect of Eligible Receivables and
all other Receivables is equal to a percentage specified in the Second
Amendment.

         "Settlement Date" means, with respect to each Calculation Period, the
date that is the 17th day of the month following such Calculation Period.

        (c)  Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby amended by addition the
following definition:

"Second Amendment" means an amendment to this Agreement mutually agreed upon by
the parties hereto.

        2.    Representations and Warranties.    In order to induce the other
parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of the Buyer and the
Originators hereby represents and warrants to each of the other parties hereto
as follows:

        (a)  The execution and delivery by such party of this Amendment, and the
performance of its obligations under the Agreement as amended hereby, are within
such party's organizational powers and authority and have been duly authorized
by all necessary organizational action on its part;

        (b)  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such party,
and the Agreement, as amended hereby, constitutes such party's legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights
generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), and

        (c)  As of the date hereof, no event has occurred and is continuing that
will constitute a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event.

        3.    Conditions Precedent.    This Amendment shall become effective as
of the date first above written upon execution and delivery of a counterpart
hereof by each of the Originator, the Originator Agent, the Buyer and the Agent.

        4.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)    CHOICE OF LAW.    THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.

        (b)    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
