               ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     The Company offers a broad range of products to address key areas of the
telecommunications network infrastructure.  To meet its customers' needs, the
Company offers equipment, services and integrated solutions within the
following general functional product groups:  transmission, enterprise
networking and broadband connectivity.  The Company's transmission products are
sold primarily to public network providers in the United States and
internationally.  The Company's enterprise networking products are sold
primarily to private voice, data and video network providers around the world.
The Company's broadband connectivity products are sold to both public and
private network providers.

     Historically, the Company's principal product offerings have generally
consisted of copper-based and fiber-based products designed to address the
needs of its customers for transmission, enterprise networking and connectivity
on traditional telephony networks.  With the growth of multimedia applications
and the associated development of enhanced voice, data and video services, the
Company's more recent product offerings and research and development efforts
have increasingly focused on emerging technologies and applications relating to
the broadband telecommunications equipment market.  The market for broadband
telecommunications equipment is evolving and rapidly changing.  There can be no
assurance that the Company's new or enhanced products will meet with market
acceptance or be profitable.

     The Company's operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter
to quarter due to several factors.  The Company's expense levels are based in
part on expectations of future revenues.  If revenue  levels in a particular
period do not meet expectations, operating results will be adversely affected.
In addition, the Company's results of operations are subject to seasonal
factors.  The Company historically has experienced a stronger demand for its
products in the fourth fiscal quarter, primarily as a result of customer budget
cycles and Company year-end incentives, and has experienced a weaker demand for
its products in the first fiscal quarter, primarily as a result of the number
of holidays in late November, December and early January and a general industry
slowdown during that period.  There can be no assurance that these historical
seasonal trends will continue in the future.

                                 ==========  =====   ==========  =====
</TABLE>
     Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1996 were $162.6 million,
reflecting a 33.5% increase over the quarter ended January 31, 1995.  The
increase resulted from 45.2% and 44.1% increases in sales of transmission and
broadband connectivity group products, respectively.  The Company's increased
sales of transmission products predominately consist of fiber optic systems
sold to public telecommunications network providers.

     The Company's increased sales of broadband connectivity products reflect
success in selling these products into expanding global broadband market
applications during the quarter.  The Company believes that future sales of
broadband connectivity products will continue to account for a substantial
portion of the Company's revenues, although these products may decline as a
percentage of total net sales primarily due to the ongoing evolution of
technologies in the telecommunications marketplace.

     Reflecting increased sales of fiber optic products in both the
transmission and broadband connectivity product groups, net sales of fiber
optic products represented 42.0% and 40.8% of total net sales for the quarters
ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The 1.5% increase in net sales of enterprise networking group products
reflected strong first quarter growth in sales of access equipment which were
partially offset by decreases in sales of Local Area Network (LAN) equipment.
Recognizing changes in the competitive environment for LAN equipment, the
Company realigned its Kentrox and Fibermux subsidiaries into one enterprise
networking group during second quarter 1995 to better address the industry
trend toward integration of LAN and Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies and
products.

                                       9
<PAGE>
     Gross Profit:  The gross profit percentage for first quarter 1996, 47.9%
of net sales, was lower than the 48.8% gross profit percentage for first
quarter 1995 primarily due to a product sales mix that was heavily weighted
toward sales of newer, lower margin products which address emerging, global
broadband applications.  Future gross profit percentages will continue to be
affected by the mix of products the Company sells, the timing of new product
introductions and manufacturing volume, among other factors.

     Operating Expenses:  Total operating expenses for the quarters ended
January 31, 1996 and 1995 were $55.6 million and $43.8 million, representing
34.2% and 35.9% of net sales, respectively.  The increase in absolute dollars
of operating expenses was due primarily to expanded operations associated with
higher revenue levels during the quarter ended January 31, 1996.  The decrease
as a percentage of net sales during the quarter reflects the Company's ability
to leverage operating expenses against revenue levels.

     Development and product engineering expenses were $19.9 million for the
quarter ended January 31, 1996, representing a 51.0% increase over the quarter
ended January 31, 1995.  The increase reflects substantial product development
and introduction efforts in each of the Company's three functional product
groups.  The Company believes that, given the rapidly changing technology and
competitive environment in the telecommunications equipment industry, continued
commitment to product development efforts will be required for the Company to
remain competitive.  Accordingly, the Company intends to continue to allocate
substantial resources to product development for each of its three functional
product groups.  However, the Company recognizes the need to balance the cost
of product development with expense control and remains committed to carefully
managing the rate of increase of such expenses.

     Selling and administration expenses were $34.9 million for the quarter
ended January 31, 1996, representing a 17.3% increase over the quarter ended
January 31, 1995.  The increase reflects selling activities associated with new
product introductions and additional personnel costs related to expanded
operations.

     Other Income (Expense), Net:  For the quarters ended January 31, 1996 and
1995, the net interest income (expense) category represented net interest
income on cash balances.  (See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for a
discussion of cash levels.)

                                      10
<PAGE>
     Income Taxes:  The effective income tax rate was 36.0% for the quarters
ended January 31, 1996 and 1995.  In addition to the $784,000 of non-deductible
goodwill amortization included in operating expenses each quarter, the rates
reflect the beneficial impact of tax credits.

     Net Income:  Reflecting all of the matters discussed above, net income was
$16.3 million (or $.26 per share) for the quarter ended January 31, 1996, an
increase of 55.9% over  $10.5 million (or $.19 per share) for the quarter ended
January 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents, primarily short-term investments in commercial
paper with maturities of less than 90 days, decreased $13.0 million and
increased $1.9 million during the quarters ended January 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The major elements of the 1996 decrease were net income before
depreciation of $23.5 million offset by the $18.5 million increase in inventory
levels (reflecting growth in business), property and equipment additions of
$13.9 million and long-term investments of $4.5 million.  The major elements of
the 1995 increase were net income before depreciation of $16.4 million,
partially offset by the $7.6 million increase in inventory levels (reflecting
growth in business) and property and equipment additions of $5.3 million.

     The Company may borrow up to $40 million under revolving credit
agreements.  Borrowings under these agreements bear interest at floating short-
term market rates, may be repaid any time without penalty and may be converted
to term loans bearing interest principally at the prime rate, payable in annual
installments through December 2000.  At January 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995,
the full $40 million of revolving borrowing remained available to the Company,
and it had no long-term debt outstanding.

     Management believes that current cash balances, cash generated from
operating activities and borrowings available under revolving credit agreements
will be adequate to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures
(approximately $20.0 million committed at January 31, 1996) and possible
acquisitions or strategic alliances for 1996.  However, the Company may find it
necessary to seek additional sources of financing to support its capital needs,
for additional working capital, potential investments or acquisitions, or
otherwise.

I.   PLAN NAME AND EFFECTIVE DATE

The name of this Plan is the ADC Telecommunications, Inc. ("Company"), Access
Platform Systems Management Incentive Plan - Fiscal Year ("FY") 1996, effective
November 1, 1995 through October 31, 1996.

II.  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 management
employees to perform an effective leadership role and make a significant
contribution to the Company's established goals.

III. ADMINISTRATION

This Plan will be administered by a Management Incentive Plan Committee
("Committee") appointed and authorized by the Company's Board of Directors.
Subject to the complete and full discretion 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
and make any exceptions to the terms of the Plan.

IV.  ELIGIBILITY

The Committee will establish rules of eligibility for participation in the Plan
and determine eligibility in accordance with those rules.  Participation will
be effective as of the date approved by the Committee and will be communicated
to the participant by an incentive opportunity statement ("Participant Form")
specifying the target incentive level for the position held by the participant.
No employee will become a participant in the Plan after May 1, 1996.

V.   TIME OF PAYMENT

Payments which become due under this Plan will be made as soon as
administratively feasible following the close of the Company's fiscal year.

<PAGE>

VI.  PLAN GOALS

The Plan reinforces the annual financial goals which support ADC's long-term
strategic plans.  The FY 1996 goal categories and weights for Access Platform
Systems participants are as follows:

     Access Platform Systems Revenue
          Overall                                                 15%
          International                                           15%

     Access Platform Systems Operating Profit (Loss)              40%

     Backlog at End of Fiscal Year                                10%

*    Individual Contribution                                      20%
                                                                 ----
     TOTAL                                                       100%

*    The Individual Contribution goal measures your performance against pre-
     determined objectives.  The objectives are to be documented on the
     attached "Individual Objective" form and require your direct manager's and
     Division head's approval.

VII. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS

The following minimum performance goals must be met to ensure protection of
shareholder interest before an incentive payout can be generated.

A.   Incentive payments will be made only if the Company's consolidated net
profits are in excess of a threshold rate of return on stockholders' equity.
This rate has been established at 10%, after tax, based on stockholders' equity
at the beginning of the fiscal year.

B.   The threshold for Overall Access Platform Systems Revenue or Access
Platform Systems Operating Profit (Loss) must be met.

<PAGE>

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payments under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payments under this plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.   The target % for each participant is
designated on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             15
     Target Payout:                     11% of base salary earnings

VI.  PLAN GOALS

The Plan reinforces the annual financial goals which support ADC's long-term
strategic plans.  The FY 1996 goal categories and weights for Broadband
Connectivity AOFR participants are as follows :

     Broadband Connectivity AOFR Revenue
          Overall                                                 15%
          International (non-ADC sales outside
            the United States)                                    15%
     Broadband Connectivity AOFR Operating Profit                 40%
*    Broadband Connectivity Customer Service/
       Inventory Turn Management                                  10%
**   Individual Contribution                                      20%
                                                                 ----
     TOTAL                                                       100%

*    The Broadband Connectivity Customer Service/Inventory Turn Management goal
     measures the ability to deliver products to meet customer's request dates
     while also effectively managing inventories.  Customer service/inventory
     turn management is measured by average inventory turns (the cost of goods
     sold divided by average inventory cost) and by shipping performance
     (relative to meeting customer request dates).  A single numerical
     representation of customer service/inventory management is derived by
     multiplying the average inventory turn by the percentage of customer
     request dates met by Broadband Connectivity.

     For example, if Broadband Connectivity's average annual inventory turns is
     5.0 and the percentage of customer request dates met is 80%, the result is
     a customer service/inventory turn management achievement of 4.0.
          Average inventory turns                      5.0
          % of customer request dates met              .80
                                                       ---
          Result                                       4.0

**   The Individual Contribution goal measures your performance against pre-
     determined objectives.  The objectives are to be documented on the
     attached "Individual Objective" form and require your direct manager's and
     Division head's approval

VII.  MINIMUM PERFORMANCE PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS

The following minimum performance goals must be met to ensure protection of
shareholder interest before an incentive payout can be generated.

A.   Incentive payments will be made only if the company's consolidated net
profits are in excess of a threshold rate of return on stockholders' equity.
This rate has been established at 10%, after tax, based on stockholders' equity
at the beginning to the fiscal year.

B.   The threshold for Overall Broadband Connectivity AOFR Revenue or Broadband
Connectivity AOFR Operating Profit must be met.

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payment under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payment under this Plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.  The target % for each participant is designated
on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Target Payout:                     15% of base salary earnings
     Base Salary Earnings:              A$50,000

                                                             -----
     Overall Result as % of Target                           99.5%

Calculation of Payment:

A$50,000(FY Earnings) x 15%(Target Opportunity) x 99.5%(Overall Result as a %
of Target) = A$7,462.50.

*    The Broadband Connectivity Customer Service/Inventory Turn Management goal
     measures the ability to deliver products to meet customer's request dates
     while also effectively managing inventories.  Customer service/inventory
     turn management is measured by average inventory turns (the cost of goods
     sold divided by average inventory cost) and by shipping performance
     (relative to meeting customer request dates).  A single numerical
     representation of customer service/inventory management is derived by
     multiplying the average inventory turn by the percentage of customer
     request dates met by Broadband Connectivity.

     For example, if Broadband Connectivity's average annual inventory turns is
     5.0 and the percentage of customer request dates met is 80%, the result is
     a customer service/inventory turn management achievement of 4.0.
               Average inventory turns                      5.0
               % of customer request dates met              .80

**   The Individual Contribution goal measures your performance against pre-
     determined objectives.  The objectives are to be documented on the
     attached "Individual Objective" form and require your direct manager's and
     Division head's approval

VII.  MINIMUM PERFORMANCE PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS

The following minimum performance goals must be met to ensure protection of
shareholder interest before an incentive payout can be generated.

A.   Incentive payments will be made only if the company's consolidated net
profits are in excess of a threshold rate of return on stockholders' equity.
This rate has been established at 10%, after tax, based on stockholders' equity
at the beginning to the fiscal year.

B.   The threshold for Overall Broadband Connectivity Fiber Revenue or
Broadband Connectivity Fiber Operating Profit must be met.

Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payment under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payment under this Plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.  The target % for each participant is designated
on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             15
     Target Payout:                     11% of base salary earnings

*    Individual Contribution                                      20%
                                                                  ---

*    The Individual Contribution goal measures your performance against pre-
     determined objectives.  The objectives are to be documented on the attached
     "Individual Objectives" form and require your direct manager's and Division
     head's approval.

VII. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS

The following minimum performance goals must be met to ensure protection of
shareholder interest before an incentive payout can be generated.

A.   Incentive payments will be made only if the company's consolidated net
profits are in excess of a threshold rate of return on stockholders' equity.
This rate has been established at 10%, after tax, based on stockholders' equity
at the beginning to the fiscal year.

B.   The threshold for Enterprise Networking Group Overall Revenue or
Enterprise Networking Group Operating Profit must be met.

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payment under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payment under this Plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.  The target % for each participant is designated
on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   How individual awards are determined is shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             15
     Target Payout:                     11% of base salary earnings
     Base Salary Earnings:              60,000

All minimum performance requirements are met.

     Goal                                         Weight    Achievement
     ----                                         ------    -----------
     Enterprise Networking Group Revenue
          Overall                                 15%         100%
          International                           15%         100%

     Enterprise Networking Group Operating Profit 40%          95%

     Enterprise Networking Group Gross Margin %   10%          98%

     Individual Contribution                      20%         100%
                                                             -----
     Overall Result as % of Target                           97.8%

Calculation of Payment:

$60,000 (FY Earnings) x 11% (Target Opportunity) x 97.8% (Overall Result as a %
of Target) = $6,455.

IX.  EFFECT OF CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS

A.   Voluntary Resignation.  A participant who voluntarily resigns full-time
employment prior to the end of the Fiscal Year will relinquish all right to any
payment under the Plan.

B.   Change Based Upon Unsatisfactory Job Performance.  A participant who is
involuntarily terminated or transferred to a non-eligible position for reasons
of unsatisfactory job performance will relinquish all right to any payment
under this plan.

C.   Change Based Upon Job Elimination.  Subject to the approval of the
Committee, a participant who is involuntarily terminated or transferred to a
non-eligible position because of a job may retain the right to a pro-rata
payment based upon the time served in the eligible position during the fiscal
year.

D.   Change Based Upon a Promotion/Demotion.  A current participant who is
promoted or demoted from an incentive eligible position to another incentive
eligible position during the fiscal year will have a pro-rata calculation of
payment based upon the time served in each position during FY 1996.

E.   Change Based Upon Transfer To Another Position.  A current participant who
transfers to another position within the Company that is eligible for
participation in an ADC Management Incentive Plan with different goals during
FY 1996 will have a pro rata calculation of payment based on the goals and
length of time served in the respective positions.

F.   Death.  If a participant dies during the fiscal year, the participant's
heirs as determined by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution will
have a pro-rata calculation of payment based upon the time the participant
served in the eligible position during the fiscal year.

X.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board of Directors reserves and retains the right to modify, rescind or
terminate this plan in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, and nothing in

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payment under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payment under this Plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.  The target % for each participant is designated
on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             15
     Target Payout:                     11% of base salary earnings
     Base Salary Earnings:              60,000

All minimum performance requirements are met.

     Goal                                         Weight    Achievement
     ----                                         ------    -----------

          Overall                                 15%          90%
          International                           15%         100%

     Network Services Operating Profit            40%         100%

     Number of Major Customers Served             10%         110%

     Individual Contribution                      20%         100%
                                                             -----
     Overall Result as % of Target                           99.5%

Calculation of Payment:

$60,000 (FY Earnings) x 11% (Target Opportunity) x 99.5% (Overall Result as a %
of Target) = $6,567.

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payments under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payments under this plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.   The target % for each participant is
designated on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             15
     Target Payout:                     11% of base salary earnings
     Base Salary Earnings:              60,000

All minimum performance payout requirements are met.

          International                           15%         100%

     Wireless Operating Profit (Loss)             40%          95%

     City Sector Revenue                          10%          98%

     Individual Contribution                      20%         100%

     Overall Result as % of Target                           97.8%

VII. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS

The following minimum performance goals must be met to assure protection of
shareholder interest before an incentive payout can be generated.

A.   Incentive payments will be made only if the Company's consolidated net
profits are in excess of a threshold rate of return on stockholders' equity.
This rate has been established at 10%, after tax, based on stockholders' equity
at the beginning of the fiscal year.

B.   The threshold for Corporate Revenue or Corporate Operating Profit must be
met for any Corporate payout to occur.  The threshold for Systems Integration
Revenue or Systems Integration Profit must be met for any Systems Integration
payout to occur.

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payments under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payments under this plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.  The target % for each participant is designated
on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Corporate, business unit and individual performance against the
established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             20
     Target Payout:                     30% of base salary earnings
     Base Salary Earnings:              110,000

All minimum performance payout requirements are met.

VII. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS

The following minimum performance goals must be met to ensure protection of
shareholder interest before an incentive payout can be generated.

A.   Incentive payments will be made only if the Company's consolidated net
profits are in excess of a threshold rate of return on stockholders' equity.
This rate has been established at 10%, after tax, based on stockholders' equity
at the beginning of the fiscal year.

B.   The threshold for Transmission Group Domestic Revenue or Transmission
Group Operating Profit must be met.

<PAGE>

VIII.     CALCULATION OF PAYMENTS

A.   Determination of Achievement Against Goals and Obligation to Make
Payments.

1.   The obligation to make payments under the Plan will be determined by
achievement of goals determined by the Board of Directors.

2.   The payout opportunity for meeting the threshold goal is 30% of target.
The payout opportunity for meeting the maximum goal is 200% of target.  Results
between threshold-target and target-maximum are interpolated.

B.   Calculation of individual payments under this plan is a function of:

1.   Target incentive opportunity - expressed as a percentage of an
individual's FY 1996 earnings.  The target % for each participant is designated
on the "Participant Form."

2.   Participant's 1996 fiscal year base salary earnings.

3.   Business unit and individual performance against the established goals.

C.   Individual award calculations are shown by the following example:

Assume we have a Plan participant with the following facts:

     Grade:                             21
     Target Payout:                     45% of base salary earnings
     Base Salary Earnings:              150,000

All minimum performance payout requirements are met.

     Goal                                         Weight    Achievement
     ----                                         ------    -----------

     Overall Result as % of Target                             98%

Calculation of Payment:

$150,000 (FY Earnings) x 45% (Target Opportunity) x 98% (Overall Result as a %
of Target)=$66,150.

<PAGE>

IX.  EFFECT OF CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS

A.   Voluntary Resignation.  A participant who voluntarily resigns full-time
employment prior to the end of the Fiscal Year will relinquish all right to any
payment under the Plan.

B.   Change Based Upon Unsatisfactory Job Performance.  A participant who is
involuntarily terminated or transferred to a non-eligible position for reasons
of unsatisfactory job performance will relinquish all right to any payment
under this plan.

C.   Change Based Upon Job Elimination. Subject to the approval of the
Committee, a participant who is involuntarily terminated or transferred to a
non-eligible position because of a job elimination may retain the right to a
pro-rata payment based upon the time served in the eligible position during the
fiscal year.

D.   Change Based Upon Promotion / Demotion.  A current participant who is
promoted or demoted from an incentive eligible position to another incentive
eligible position during the fiscal year will have a pro rata calculation of
payment based upon the time served in each position during FY 1996.

E.   Change Based Upon Transfer to Another Position.  A current participant who
transfers to another position within the Company that is eligible for
participation in an ADC Management Incentive Plan with different goals during
FY 1996 will have a pro rata calculation of payment based on the goals and
length of time served in the respective positions.

F.   Death.  If a participant dies during the fiscal year, the participant's
heirs as determined by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution will
have a pro-rata calculation of payment based upon the time the participant
served the eligible position during the fiscal year.

X.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board of Directors reserves and retains the right to modify, rescind or
terminate this plan in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, and nothing in
this Plan limits this right in any way or creates any rights in any employee of
future participation in this Plan or any other plan, or constitutes any
guarantee of compensation or employment with ADC.  Further, neither the Board
of Directors nor the Company has any obligation under this Plan or otherwise to
adopt this or any other plan in any future fiscal year.

                           FIRST AMENDMENT OF LEASE

     FIRST AMENDMENT OF LEASE (this "Amendment"), dated November 9, 1995,
between METRO INTERNATIONAL INC., an Ontario corporation ("Landlord"), and ADC
TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Minnesota corporation ("Tenant").

                             Preliminary Statement

     Landlord and Tenant have entered into the Lease, dated March 1, 1986, with
respect to the premises located at 11311 K-Tel Drive, Minnetonka, Minnesota.
The initial term of the Lease expired on July 31, 1991, and Tenant exercised
its renewal option pursuant to letter dated June 5, 1990, extending the term of
the Lease to July 31, 1996.

     Landlord and Tenant desire to further extend the term of the Lease, and to
make certain other amendments to the Lease, all as more particularly set forth
in this Amendment.

     Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises in this Amendment, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

     1.   All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

     2.   Effective as of August 1, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), the Lease is
hereby amended as follows:

(a)  The Term of the Lease shall be extended by five (5) years (the "Second
Renewal Term"), upon all the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the
Lease (except as otherwise modified by this Amendment), so that the expiration
of the Term shall be July 31, 2001.

(b)  Tenant shall pay to Landlord Minimum Rent at the annual rate of Five
Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand One Hundred Eighty and 00/100 Dollars
($576,180.00), payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in
equal monthly installments in the amount of Forty-Eight Thousand Fifteen and
00/100 Dollars ($48,015.00) each, payable in advance on the first day of each
calendar month during the Second Renewal Term without any setoff, offset,
abatement or deduction whatsoever.

(c)  Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to renew the Term of the
Lease, for all of the Leased Premises, for a renewal term (the "Third Renewal
Term"), of five (5) years. The Third Renewal Term shall commence on August 1,
2001, and shall terminate on July 31, 2006. Tenant shall exercise the option
described herein by giving Landlord written notice of such election to renew
not later than August 1, 2000, and upon the giving of such notice the Lease
shall thereupon be deemed renewed for the Third Renewal Term with the same
force and effect as if the Third Renewal Term had

<PAGE>
originally been included in the Term of the Lease. Time is of the essence with
respect to Tenant's delivery of such notice to renew.

(d)  Tenant shall pay to Landlord Minimum Rent at the annual rate of Six
Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($623,700.00),
payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in equal monthly
installments in the amount of Fifty-One Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Five and
00/00 Dollars ($51,975.00) each, payable in advance on the first day of each
calendar month during the Third Renewal Term without any setoff, offset,
abatement or deduction whatsoever.

(e) The definition of "Term" is amended to include the Initial Term, together
with the Renewal Term, the Second Renewal Term, and the Third Renewal Term.

(f) The definition of "Minimum Rent" is amended to include the annual rent
payable during the Initial Term, the Renewal Term, the Second Renewal Term, and
the Third Renewal Term.

     3.   Tenant has agreed to accept the Leased Premises "AS IS", "WHERE IS",
in their existing condition and state of repair, and without any representation
or warranty by or on behalf of Landlord, express or implied, including any
representation or warranty as to: (i) MERCHANTABILITY; (ii) TENANTABILITY;
(iii) fitness for Tenant's intended purposes or any other particular purpose;
(iv) the condition or state of repair of the Leased Premises; (v) the absence
or presence of any structural or other defects or deficiencies in the Leased
Premises; or (vi) any other matter or aspect pertaining to the Leased Premises
or the use, potential use, or condition thereof. Tenant hereby expressly
covenants and agrees that Landlord shall, under no circumstances, be liable for
any latent, patent, or other non-structural defects or deficiencies in the
Leased Premises.

     4.   Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to the other that it
has dealt with no broker, finder or like agent in connection with this
Amendment. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by
the indemnified party for any claim of, or liability to, any broker, finder or
like agent who shall claim to have dealt with the indemnifying party in
connection with this Amendment.

     5.   Written notices, statements or requests to Landlord, permitted or
required in accordance with the Lease, shall be delivered to 155 University
Avenue, Suite 205, Toronto, Ontario MSH 3B7.

     6.   Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, (i)
Tenant has no offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses of any nature
whatsoever to the performance of its obligations under the Lease (including,
without limitation, its obligation to pay any Rent) and, to the best of
Tenant's knowledge, there is no condition which, with the giving of notice
and/or lapse of time, would constitute the basis of such an offset, claim,
counterclaim or defense, and (ii) Tenant has no claims of any nature whatsoever
against Landlord.

                                       2
<PAGE>
     7.   All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Amendment shall be
conditional upon Tenant not being in default under Lease, and upon the Lease
being in full force and effect as of the Effective Date.

     8.   As modified by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the
Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall continue to
remain in full force and effect throughout the remainder of the Term of the
Lease.

     9.   The terms and conditions contained in this Amendment shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.

     10.  This Amendment may not be modified, amended or terminated, and no
provision may be waived, except by an agreement in writing, signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, termination or waiver
is sought.

     11.  Tenant shall, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Amendment, deliver a check made payable to Landlord in the amount of Five
Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00), on account of the legal fees incurred by
Landlord in connection with the preparation of this Amendment.

     12.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original and all of which will together constitute one
instrument.

     THIS AMENDMENT has been executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant the
day first set forth above.
