        III.    INTEREST ACCRUAL:    

        (a)  During

or other similar agreement or arrangement to hedge the risk of variable interest rate volatility or fluctuations of interest rates (any such agreement or arrangement as it may hereafter be renewed,
extended, supplemented, increased or modified and in effect from time to time being herein referred to as an "Interest Rate Protection Agreement"). All fees, penalties and other amounts due from
Borrower to Bank under any such Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall, for all purposes of this Note, be considered as obligations of the Borrower to the Bank under this Note, and, notwithstanding
anything contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all such fees, penalties and other amounts due from Borrower to Bank under any such Interest Rate Protection Agreement
shall further be considered to be part of the indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents and the repayment of which shall be secured by each of the
Loan Documents which secure the Loan. 

        IV.    PAYMENTS:    

        (a)  On
the first (1st) Payment Due Date following the date of this Note and on each successive Payment Due Date thereafter until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this
Note is paid in full, Borrower shall pay to Bank all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance. 

        (b)  In

successive Payment Due Date thereafter until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note is paid in full, Borrower shall also pay to Bank monthly installments of principal in the amount of
$42,083.00. 

        (c)  On
the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to Bank the then outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

        (d)  In
addition to the principal and interest payments described above and the indebtedness evidenced hereby, Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Bank, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Note, a loan fee of $19,100.00. 

        V.    APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS:    

        All
payments shall be applied first to the payment of any interest then due and payable, then to any principal then due and payable, and then to any late charges due from Borrower to
Bank, and any balance shall be applied in further reduction of principal. The principal and interest shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment. 

        VI.    PREPAYMENTS:    

        During
the entire term of this Note, Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal sum represented by this Note or the interest thereon at any time and from

installment or other payment coming due. Amounts prepaid may not be reborrowed. 

        VII.    LATE PAYMENTS:    

        Borrower
will pay to Bank a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) days after the due date thereof. Collection or acceptance by
Bank of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of any remedies of Bank provided herein. 

3

 

        VIII.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT; INTEREST ON DEFAULT; COLLECTION COSTS:    

        (a)  The
principal sum evidenced by this Note, together with accrued interest, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Bank upon the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events (each of which events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder): (i) any failure to pay any installment of principal or interest or any other amount
due hereunder within ten (10) days of the date same comes due; or (ii) any "Event of Default" under the terms of the Loan Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents which is not
cured within any applicable grace period set forth therein. 

        (b)  Upon

Exhibit 10-d    
  

         ADC The Broadband CompanyTM  

 Management Incentive Plan Document

Fiscal Year 2003  

   MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN DOCUMENT

Fiscal Year 2003  

Plan Name and Effective Date  

        The name of this Plan is the ADC Telecommunications, Inc. Management Incentive Plan. The plan is effective from November 1, 2002 through
October 31, 2003. 

Purpose  

        The purpose of the Plan is to provide, with full regard to the protection of shareholder's investments, a direct financial incentive for eligible managers and
individual contributors to make a significant contribution to ADC's established goals. 

Eligibility  

        Eligibility for Fiscal Year 2003 is limited to full or part-time regular executives, certain management and higher-level individual contributor
positions. Temporary employees and independent contractors are not eligible for participation in this plan. In order to be eligible, an employee cannot participate in any other ADC incentive plan,
except as approved by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors or the CEO, other than the stock option program and must be employed in an eligible position on or before
October 1, 2003. 

Timing of Payment  

        Payments that become due under this Plan are made as soon as administratively feasible following the close of ADC's fiscal year. In the past, this payment date
has generally occurred in late December. All payments are subject to appropriate withholdings. 

Plan Goals  

        The Plan reinforces the key goals that support ADC's long-term strategic plans. The key factors in ADC's FY 03 success are net sales and pro forma
operating income. Cash management is also a key factor, and will be primarily driven through these two goals. 

        These
goals will be set at the ADC and business unit level. 

        Following
is a description of the two plan components: 

	Plan Goal
 
	 	Definition
 

	Net Sales	 	The amount ADC can recognize in accordance with GAAP for goods shipped or services provided to third party customers, net of returns received.
	Pro Forma Operating Income	 	Net sales less the everyday expenses of doing business. It does not take into account interest income, interest expense, or other income/loss or income tax. It also excludes restructuring and other one-time expenses that
are not reflective of the ongoing business.

ADC/BU Goal Weighting  

        Employees serving multiple business units have 100% of their incentive plan based on ADC goals and results. 

2

 

        Employees
dedicated to one business unit only have a portion of their incentive based on ADC results and a portion on business unit results as follows: 

	Grade
 
	 	ADC Wtg
	 	BU Wtg
	 
	Grade 18+	 	50	%	50	%
	Grades 15-17	 	30	%	70	%

        For
individual weighting, refer to the Participant Form. 

Individual Performance  

        In addition to the business performance goals, an individual performance factor will be applied to the calculation of incentive payments for 2003. The individual
multiplier will be based on the performance ratings as defined in the ADCperform performance management system and will be applied at the time of payment as follows: 

	Rating
	 	Individual Performance Adjustment

	1 (Top 5-10%)	 	Business Performance × 1.25 - 1.5
	2 (Middle 80-90%)	 	Business Performance × .75 - 1.25
	3 (Bottom 5-10%)	 	Business Performance × .5 - .75

Minimum Performance Payment Requirement  

        To ensure protection of shareholder interest, a minimum level of pro forma operating income must be achieved before an incentive payment can be generated.
Specific goals in this respect are contained in the Participant Form. 

Calculation of Payment  

        Prior to making any payment under this Plan, the Board of Directors must determine that the claimed performance levels have been achieved. The Board of Directors
has complete authority and discretion to determine whether performance levels have been achieved, including without limitation the authority and discretion to properly calculate pro forma operating
income. The size of an incentive award will be based on four factors: 

	1.
	Target Incentive Opportunity—expressed as a percentage of an individual's FY 2003 eligible base salary earnings.

	2.
	FY2003 Eligible Base Salary Earnings. This is the amount actually paid to the participant during the fiscal year in Base Salary. Base
Salary for purposes of this Plan includes paid time off (such as vacation, sick pay or PTO), and excludes any salary continuation pay paid through ADC payroll and any disability insurance paid by an
insurer.

	3.
	Business Performance against the established goals.

	4.
	Individual Performance Multiplier. 

        The
minimum individual payment is a total payment of 10% of an employee's target. If incentives earned for all goals total less than 10% of target, no payout will be made. The maximum
award is 300% of target payout. At target business performance and Level 2 individual performance with performance multiplier of 1, the award would be 100% of the stated target percent of Base Salary
Earnings.

        For
the business performance factors, this can be expressed as follows: 

	Threshold
	 	Target
	 	Maximum

	0% of Target Incentive Opportunity	 	100% of Target Incentive Opportunity	 	300% of Target Incentive Opportunity

        There are specific goals established for 0%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 300% of target as indicated on the applicable Participant Form. Results between these
specific points are interpolated for each goal.

        Here
is an example of a hypothetical award calculation. Refer to the Participant Form for the performance factors and weightings that
apply. 

        Assume
a Business Unit Plan participant with the following facts: 

	Target Opportunity:	 	15% of base salary earnings
	Base Salary Earnings:	 	70,000
	Performance Rating:	 	Level 2 with a performance multiplier of 1 applied
	ADC Pro Forma Operating Income:	 	Minimum level of pro forma operating income achieved

	 	 	 	 	 	 	102.1%
	

Payment Calculation:

70,000 (base salary) * 15% (incentive target) * 102.1% (business performance) * 1.0 (individual performance factor) = 10,721

Effect of Change in Employment Status  

        Termination of Employment.    If employment with ADC is terminated for any reason other than death and if the Employment
Termination Date occurs prior to the end of the Fiscal Year, a participant will not receive an award under the Plan. For purposes of this Plan, the "Employment Termination Date" is the date that the
participant ceases to be an employee of ADC (as determined by the company). In the case of termination of employment by ADC, the Employment Termination Date shall be determined without regard to
whether such termination is with or without cause or with or without reasonable notice. 

        Transfer, Promotion or Demotion to another position with a different ADC incentive plan, target incentive opportunity or business
goals.    A participant, who transfers, is promoted or demoted to

another position with a different plan, target incentive opportunity or business goals will receive a prorated calculation of payment based upon the number of full months served in each position. The
participant must be in the new position by the first of the month and remain in the position for a full month in order to receive credit for that month under the new plan, target or goals. Full year
earnings will be prorated based on the number of full months eligible under each plan. For example, a participant transferring from Software Systems to Connectivity on June 10 would receive
eight months payment under the Software Systems plan (November-June) and four months under Connectivity (July-October). In order to receive payment under the plan during the
plan year, a participant must have completed one full month of service under the plan. 

        Death.    If a participant dies during the fiscal year, a pro-rated payment will be made to the participant's
estate. The payment will be based upon the time the participant served in the eligible position during the fiscal year. 

Administration  

        A Management Incentive Plan Committee ("Committee"), appointed and authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, will administer
this Plan. Subject to the complete and full discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the Committee is authorized to make all decisions as required in administration of the
Plan and to exercise its discretion to define, interpret, construe, apply, approve, administer, withdraw and make any exceptions to the terms of the Plan. 

Right to Modify  

        ADC reserves the right to modify or adjust the Plan at any time in its sole discretion either in whole or with respect to a particular business unit. The
Participant explicitly agrees with this modification right of ADC. 

Governing Law  

        The Plan is made and shall be continued in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, U.S.A. 

Severability  

        If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, this Plan shall be deemed
severable and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Plan which shall be enforced in accordance with the intent of this Plan. 

Assignment  

        The Company shall have the right to assign this Plan to its successors and assigns and this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by said
successors and assigns. Participant may not assign this Plan or any rights hereunder. 

Entire Understanding  

        This Plan constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the payment of incentive compensation under this Plan, and it supercedes any and all
prior agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, express or implied, on such subject matter.

Amendment or Termination of Plan  

        The Plan shall not entitle Participants to any future compensation. The Plan is not an element of the employees' salary or base compensation and shall not be
considered as part of such in the event of severance, redundancy, or resignation. ADC has no obligation to offer incentive plans to Participants in the future. The Participant understands and accepts
that the incentive payments made under the Plan are entirely at the sole discretion of ADC. Specifically, ADC assumes no obligation to the Participant under this Plan with respect to any doctrine or
principle of acquired rights or similar concept. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, ADC may amend or terminate the Plan or discontinue the payment of incentives under the Plan at any time, at its
sole discretion and without advance notice.
