If you want to bind to do add,replace,delete and other things that
require you to bind you cannot do a "simple bind" with your option -x.

Based on your slapd.conf your command should be something like:
/usr/local/bin/ldapadd -D "cn=Manager, o=University of Michigan, c=US"
-W -f example.ldif

You must configure your database to hold the correct suffix. 
cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com I believe is not a valid suffix.
Suffixes in ldap are like e.g. dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com 
or o=ExampleOrganization,c=se

One database can hold one or many domains. Rootdn always has write
permission to your database. Remember to change your rootpw :-)
