DECL. OF PHILIP T. BESIROF ISO DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES TO DEFENDANTS’ INTERROGATORIES
MASTER FILE NO. C-02-1486 CW (EDL) sf-2240032

I, PHILIP T. BESIROF, declare as follows:
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and am admitted
to practice before this Court. I am a partner with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP,
counsel of record in this action for Defendants JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”), Jozef
Straus, Anthony Muller, and Charles J. Abbe (collectively, the “JDSU Defendants”). I submit
this Declaration in Support of Defendants’ Motion to Compel Further Responses to the First Set
of Interrogatories, served by Defendants Anthony Muller and JDSU. If called as a witness, I
would testify to the following facts:
MR. MULLER’S INTERROGATORIES
2. Attached as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of Defendant Anthony Muller’s
First Set of Interrogatories to Plaintiffs (“Muller Interrogatories”), served on May 5, 2006.
3. On June 5, 2006, Plaintiffs served “Responses and Objections” to the Muller
Interrogatories that contained no substantive response but rather reiterated the same objections for
all 25 interrogatories. On July 28, 2006, Plaintiffs supplemented their responses to provide
substantive responses to Interrogatory Nos. 20, 22, and 24, which asked Plaintiffs whether they
contend they suffered a loss caused by any Defendant’s misrepresentation regarding JDSU’s
revenues (Interrogatory No. 20), value of JDSU’s inventory (Interrogatory No. 22), or value of
JDSU’s goodwill (Interrogatory No. 24). In response to each interrogatory, Plaintiffs stated that
they did contend they suffered a loss.
4. Attached as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of Plaintiffs’ Supplemental
Responses and Objections to Defendant Anthony Muller’s First Set of Interrogatories to
Plaintiffs, served on September 11, 2006.
5. October 23, 2006, the parties participated in a telephone meet-and-confer session
to discuss the deficiencies in Plaintiffs’ interrogatory responses. Attached as Exhibit C is a true
and correct copy of a letter from Stuart Plunkett, counsel for the JDSU Defendants, to Michael
Stocker, counsel for Plaintiffs, sent on October 24, 2006. The letter describes the Defendants’
position that numerous interrogatory responses were deficient because they either failed to

provide all of the information called for by the interrogatory, or raised the inappropriate objection
that a response would require expert analysis and therefore would not be provided until the close
of expert discovery. With respect to the 13 interrogatory responses at issue here, the parties
agreed that Plaintiffs would provide supplemental responses by October 28, 2006 (Interrogatory
Nos. 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 21, 23, and 25), confer with their expert by October 28, 2006 to
determine the anticipated supplement date (Interrogatory Nos. 6 and 12), or review Plaintiffs’
position and inform Defendants by October 28, 2006 of their decision (Interrogatory No. 17).
6. Attached as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of a letter from Michael Stocker
to Stuart Plunkett sent on October 27, 2006. In the letter, Plaintiffs informed Defendants that they
would supplement those interrogatories that Plaintiffs did not believe required expert analysis by
November 14, 2006, and for those responses requiring expert analysis, Plaintiffs would provide
responses at the close of expert discovery.
7. Attached as Exhibit E is a true and correct copy of a letter from Stuart Plunkett to
Michael Stocker sent on December 5, 2006. The letter indicates that, to date, Plaintiffs had not
served any further supplemental responses or otherwise responded regarding the substance of the
meet and confer held on October 23, 2006. Because efforts to resolve these issues regarding
Plaintiffs’ interrogatory responses through meet-and-confer efforts had reached an impasse, the
letter informs Plaintiffs of Defendants’ intent to file a motion to compel further responses to the
interrogatories at issue by December 12, 2006.
JDSU’S INTERROGATORIES
8. On April 8, 2005, JDSU served its first set of interrogatories on Plaintiffs and
Plaintiffs responded on May 16, 2005. Attached as Exhibit F is a true and correct copy of
JDSU’S First Set of Interrogatories to Lead Plaintiff Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust
Funds, served April 8, 2005. Attached as Exhibit G is a true and correct copy of Lead Plaintiff’s
Response to JDSU’S First Set of Interrogatories, served May 16, 2005.
9. Attached as Exhibit H is a true and correct copy of an email dated November 9,
2006, from Anthony Harwood, counsel for Plaintiffs, to Terri Garland and Philip Besirof, counsel

previously served responses.
10. Attached as Exhibit I is true and correct copy of an email dated December 7, 2006,
from Philip Besirof to Anthony Harwood, in which JDSU informed Plaintiffs that the parties had
reached an impasse with respect to the five interrogatory responses at issue in the meet and confer
and that JDSU would be seeking relief from the Court.
11. Attached as Exhibit J is a true and correct copy of the Court’s Order regarding the
Discovery Plan, dated November 10, 2005.
12. Attached as Exhibit K is a true and correct copy of Lead Plaintiff’s Supplemental
Response to Interrogatory No. 25 of JDSU’S First Set of Interrogatories, served November 22,
2005.
13. Attached as Exhibit L is a true and correct copy of Lead Plaintiff’s Supplemental
Responses to JDSU’S First Set of Interrogatories, served February 7, 2006.

Disclosure Pursuant to F.R.C.P. 26(a)(1), served November 13, 2006.
15. Attached as Exhibit N is a true and correct copy of a letter dated December 11,
2006, from Anthony Harwood to Terri Garland, in which Plaintiffs informed JDSU that they
proposed to supplement their responses to all interrogatories by January 19, 2007.
16. Attached as Exhibit O is a true and correct copy of an excerpt from Plaintiffs’
Response to JDSU’s First Set of Requests for Admission to Plaintiffs Oklahoma Firefighters
Pension and Retirement System and Dennis McCool; and Response to Second Set of Requests for
Admission to Lead Plaintiff Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds and Plaintiff Houston
Municipal Employees Pension System, dated November 6, 2006, including the response to
Request for Admission No. 21.

Re: In re JDS Uniphase Corp. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 02-1486 CW
Dear Michael:
This letter summarizes the topics we discussed during yesterday's meet-and-confer session, including the various agreements reached.
~ ~ d a t i a ~ / ~ u ~ ~ l e m e n ~ n g Disclosures and Discovery Responses
The parties agreed that November 3,2006 is the deadline for complying with Judge Laporte's standing order regarding correcting and supplementing initial disclosures and discovery responses.
Responses to Straus's, Abbe's and Muller's Interrogatories
Waiver of Obiections. As discussed yesterday, it is JDSU's position that Plaintiffs waived their objections with respect to the interrogatories that Plaintiffs failed to respond to on September 29,2006 (Abbe Interrogatory Nos. 1-4, 10- 1 5, 1 7, 19,20; Straus Interrogatory , Nos. 1-1 1, 13). We understand that Plaintiffs disagree with this position, but as our letter of September 29 confirms, JDSU never agreed to the extensions of time to respond to discovery that Plaintiffs set forth in their September 21. letter. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are clear that a party's untimely response results in a waiver of objections. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)14).
We disagree with the statement you made yesterday that JDSU attempted to "burn" Plaintiffs because JDSU notified Plaintiffs that it would not agree to the extensions on September 29, the day Plaintiffs' responses were due. First, the September 29 letter was the third time JDSU communicated to Plaintiffs that it would not agree to a one-month extension, not the first. JDSU told Plaintiffs during a meet-and-confer on September 19 that a one-month
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 714 Filed 12/12/2006 Page 2 of 7
M O R R I S O N P O E R S T E R
Michael Stocker, Esq. October 24,2006 Page Two
extension was unacceptable, and JDSU confirmed that position in a September 20 letter. Second, Plaintiffs had an obligation either to obtain an agreement on an extension or to respond to the interrogatories on the date mandated by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Plaintiffs did neither. The fact that Plaintiffs sent a letter to JDSU unilaterally setting response deadlines did not change that fundamental obligation. The proposed extensions in Plaintiffs' September 21 letter were not effective unless and until agreed upon by the parties. Third, although Plaintiffs now claim that JDSU attempted to "bum" them by rejecting the proposed extensions in the September 29 letter (albeit for the third time), the record shows that Plaintiffs took no action when it received that letter. Indeed, Plaintiffs have been on notice for more than three weeks that its responses are late, yet Plaintiffs have never attempted to discuss the response deadline or the September 29 letter with JDSU. Furthermore, in the intervening weeks Plaintiffs did not serve responses to any of the outstanding interrogatories even though Plaintiffs knew they had no extension. In summary, there is no question that Plaintiffs' responses are late, that the parties never agreed to an extension, and that by operation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure any objections to the untimely responses are waived.'
Plaintiffs agreed yesterday to provide responses to the unanswered interrogatories no later than October 28,2006.
Simed CODY. Plaintiffs' Responses to Abbe's First Set of Interrogatories were not signed by an attorney. Plaintiffs agreed to serve a signed copy no later than October 28.
Muller Interroaatorv Nos. 1 & 2. In response to Interrogatory No. 1, which required Plaintiffs to identify each transaction for which Plaintiffs contend JDSU improperly recognized revenue, Plaintiffs identified four specific transactions. Interrogatory No. 2 requested that Plaintiffs state all facts supporting their contention that JDSU improperly recognized revenue from each of these transactions. We noted yesterday that Plaintiffs' response to Interrogatory No. 2 appears to list examples rather than provide a complete statement of all known facts, as required by the interrogatory. You assured us, however, that the response includes all facts currently known to Plaintiffs. You stated that the response would only be incomplete to the extent that either (I) Plaintiffs had not yet received information in discovery or (2) Plaintiffs had received information so recently that they had not had an opportunity to review it. With respect to the second of these categories, we are assuming that, as concerns JDSU's production, Plaintiffs are referring onIy to the production made on September 29,2006. Please let us know if that is not correct.
' At yesterday's meeting, Plaintiffs did not raise the related topic of their failure to respond timely to JDSU's second set of requests for admissions. Ow September 20 and September 29 letters confirm that JDSU did not agree to extend Plaintiffs' time to respond to those requests, and as noted in our letter of October 20, the requests are deemed admitted.

Michael Stocker, Esq. October 24,2006 Page Three
In addition, Plaintiffs7 response to Interrogatory No. 2 is insufficient because some of the cited evidence is not specifically tied to the transactions identified in response to Interrogatory No. 1. For example, Plaintiffs fail to identify the transaction for which the Lucent revenue recognition allegation and evidence is relevant. If the facts concerning Lucent relate to one of the specified transactions, Plaintiffs must state which one. If the facts concerning Lucent relate to a different transaction, Plaintiffs must identify it and supplement their response to Interrogatory No. 1. Plaintiffs also fail to identify the transaction for which the E-TEK manipulation of revenue recognition allegation and Alcatel shipment is relevant. We requested that Plaintiffs correct this deficiency by tying the evidence to one of the specifically alleged transactions, and you agreed to do so in a supplemental response no later than October 28.
Muller Interro~atory Nos. 3 & 4. With regard to JDSU, Plaintiffs assert only that "JDSU was aware of the improper nature of the transactions set out in plaintiffs' response to interrogatory number 1. These transactions violate generally accepted accounting principles, and were identified to JDSU by its auditors." This response is incomplete, as the request asks for all facts supporting Plaintiffs' contention. Plaintiffs are required to supplement their response with appropriate facts supportive of their contention that JDSU knew or was reckless in not knowing that certain transactions involved improperly recognized revenue.
With regard to Anthony Muller, Plaintiffs' response merely cites the following documents: EY 014352, JDSU 0202054 at 0202055, EY 014407 at EY 014408, and JDSU 0033 139.
Yesterday we asked Plaintiffs to supplement these responses with complete answers, as well as to identify which of the four specified transactions you contend Mufler knew or was reckless in not knowing involved improperly recognized revenue. You agreed to review these responses and to supplement them with any more specific information in Plaintiffs' possession no later than October 28.
Muller Interro~atow No. 5. Plaintiffs7 response to this interrogatory fails to identify specific statements that you contend misrepresent JDSU's revenues. You agreed to supplement this response no later than October 28 with the specific statements that allegedly misrepresent JDSU's revenues.
Muller Interroaatow No. 6. Plaintiffs' response to this interrogatory is not responsive and simply states that Plaintiffs "will supplement their response to this interrogatory during the period of expert discovery." At yesterday's meeting, we asked you to provide us with a specific deadline for the supplementation of this interrogatory. Although you were not able to provide us a deadline, you agreed to consult with your experts and inform us of the anticipated deadline for supplementing this response by October 28.

M O R R I S O N F O E R S T E R
Michael Stocker, Esq. October 24,2006 Page Four
Muller Interro~atorv No. 7. Similarly, Plaintiffs did not give a sufficient response to this interrogatory, again stating the need to supplement after expert discovery. During yesterday's meeting, you agreed to supplement this response with the requested information no later than October 28.
Muller Interrogatow No. 9. Plaintiffs also failed to give a substantive response to this interrogatory, which requests a statement of all facts supporting Plaintiffs' contention that any Defendant knew or was reckless in not knowing that a particular statement misrepresented JDSU's revenues. You agreed to supplement this response no later than October 28 with all facts supporting Plaintiffs' contention that any Defendant knew or was reckless in not knowing that each of the statements, requested in Interrogatory No. 5, misrepresented JDSU's revenues.
Muller Interro~atorv No. 10fAbbe Interrogatorv No. 5. We discussed two deficiencies relating to these interrogatories. First, Plaintiffs' responses merely provide a list of public filings and do not actually identify specific misrepresentations. Second, preceding the list of public filings, Plaintiffs add the qualifying phrase "at least." This language implies that there are additional statements. You confirmed that Plaintiffs have identified a11 of the statements that they contend contain misrepresentations. You also agreed to supplement these responses no later than October 28 by identifying the specific statements contained in the filings, as the interrogatories require you to do.
Muller Interrogatory No. 1 l/Abbey Interrogatory No. 6. As we discussed, these interrogatories have two main problems. First, although Plaintiffs provide lengthy responses, they are insufficient because they fail to provide the specific information sought by the requests. Plaintiffs must supplement their responses to provide each of the items requested with respect to each of the alleged misstatements regarding inventory. Second, we asked far your assurance that the responses contain all facts known to Plaintiffs. You agreed to review these responses and supplement them with the specific information that the interrogatories request, no later than October 28. With respect to the completeness of the responses, you provided us with the same assurance as discussed above with respect to Muller Interrogatory
.No. 2.
Muller Interro~atorv No. 12lAbbe Interro~atorv No. 7. These interrogatories require Plaintiffs to specify the dollar amount of each statement that Plaintiffs contend contains a misrepresentation regarding JDSU's inventory. Plaintiffs' responses are insufficient because they fail to quantify the dollar amount for each of the statements identified. As with Muller Interrogatory No. 6, you agreed to consult with your experts and inform us of the anticipated deadline for supplementing this response by October 28.
Muller Interrogatory No. 14/Abbe Interrogatory No, 9. We asked for your assurance that the responses contain all facts known to Plaintiffs. You provided us with the same assurance as
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 714 Filed 12/12/2006 Page 5 of 7
M O R R I S O N F O E R S T E R I Michael Stocker, Esq. October 24,2006 Page Five
discussed above with respect to Muller Interrogatory No. 2, and you agreed to supplement with any additional information no later than October 28.
Muller Interrogatory No. 15. Plaintiffs' response to Interrogatory No. 15 lists several public filings; however, preceding this list Plaintiffs add the qualifying phrase "at least." Again, you assured us that the response includes all of the information known to Plaintiffs and that the list is complete. You also agreed to review this response and supplement it no later than October 28 by identifying the specific statements that Plaintiffs allege misrepresented the value of JDSU's goodwill, as the interrogatory requires you to do.
Muller Interronatorv No. 16. Plaintiffs' response to Interrogatory No. 16 is deficient because it fails to connect the factual. assertions to the specific statements alleged to contain misrepresentations. For example, the response fails to identify any facts supporting Plaintiffs' contention that JDSU's Form S-3 filed October 30,2000, Form S-4 filed February 12,200 1, Form 8-K filed March 23,200 1, Form 10-Q dated March 3 1,200 1, and Form 10-Q dated May 11,2001 misrepresented the value of JDSU's goodwill. If Plaintiffs are aware of any additional facts to support their contention, they are required to supplement. You agreed to review this response and to provide any supplement no later than October 28.
Muller Interrogatory No. 17. Plaintiffs provide no substantive response to Interrogatory No. 17, because they claim it is a matter for expert opinion. The dollar amount of the misrepresentation, however, is a factual' issue and should not require expert analysis. Accordingly, Plaintiffs are required to supplement this response. At the meeting, you agreed to review this response and give us your position no later than October 28.
Muller Interrogatory No. 19. We asked for your assurance that this response contains all facts known to Plaintiffs. You provided us with the same assurance as discussed above with respect to Muller Interrogatory No. 2, and you agreed to supplement with any additional information no later than October 28.
Muller Interrogatorv Nos. 20.21.23 & 25. These interrogatories request that Plaintiffs state whether they contend they suffered a loss caused by any misrepresentation regarding JDSU's revenues (Interrogatory No. 20) and all facts supporting any contention that they suffered a loss by any misrepresentations concerning the accounting for revenues, inventory, and goodwill (Interrogatory Nos. 21,23 and 25). Plaintiffs served only objections. You agreed to provide us with substantive responses to these interrogatories, including all responsive facts known to Plaintiffs, no later than October 28.

M O R R I S O N F O E R S T E R I Michael Stocker, Esq. October 24,2006 Page Six
JDSU's Second Request for Production of Documents
Request Nos. 1 & 2. You confirmed that Plaintiffs' recent production of tapes and transcripts is a full production in response to Request Nos. 1 and 2 and, that Plaintiffs are not withholding any additional material based on the objections.
Request No. 3. You agreed to get back to us by October 28 with dates on which we can inspect the documents described in Request No. 3 (the "plain brown envelope" described in Barbara J. Hart's April 14,2004 declaration and its contents).
Jeff Nguyen and Matthew Voicheck Depositions
As discussed yesterday, two of Plaintiffs' confidential witnesses that Defendants properly subpoenaed, Jeff Nguyen and Matthew Voicheck, did not show up for their depositions. We asked you to let us know whether Plaintiffs intend to use testimony or evidence fiom these witnesses at any time to support their case. We informed you that if you are not going to use evidence from these witnesses, we will not go to the expense and inconvenience of moving to compel andlor seeking contempt against these individuals. You agreed to get back to us on this point by the end of the day on Friday, October 27.
Updating of Interrogatories Related to Confidential Witnesses
We asked that Plaintiffs pay particular attention to the interrogatories listing confidential witnesses as support when supplementing and correcting responses. (See, e.g., Lead Plaintiffs Responses to JDSU's First Set of Interrogatories, Nos. 25,30, 3 1 and 33, and supplemental responses.) During the depositions, the confidential witnesses have repudiated the allegations attributed to them in your complaint. To the extent Plaintiffs have evidence from other communications with the confidential witnesses that support Plaintiffs' claims, those communications should have been listed in the chart you provided when supplementing your response to Interrogatory No. 25. This chart does not list any evidence of communications for 19 of the confidential witnesses.
We look forward to receiving the responses, supplemental responses, and other information that Plaintiffs have agreed to provide.
Sincerely, >- Stuart Plunkett

Re: JDS Uniphise Corporation Securities Litigation 02- 1486 CW (EDL)
Gentlemen:
We have received Stuart Plunkctt's letter of October 24,2006, We disagree with his recollection of certain matters discussed during the Octobcr 23,2006 conference call, and further disagree with positions defendants have taken with respect to discovery deadlines. I will address the points set out in Mr. Plunkett's letter seriatim. FinaHy, Plaintiffs will need a sho~t further extension of certain of the responses discussed in the October 23,2006 conference call.
U~datindsupulementin~ Disclosures and Discoverv Res~onses
While we agreed during the conference call that Novrmber 3,2006 should be the deadlinc for complying with Judge Liporte's standing order repding collecting and supplemmting initial disclosures and discovery responses, we also noted that, in light of the fact that both document production and depositions are still ongoing, further supplementation of discovery responses aid disclosures will need to be made on a rolling basis.
Indeed, as defendants arc aware, they originally promised to complete their document production in January 2006, them in March, and then in August. Now, ten months latex, lhey still have not completed their production. Plaintiffs first servcd their document request in February 2005, so defendants have had 20 months to complete their document production and still have not done so. Accordingly, Plaintiffs will be obliged to continue to review and analyze documents &or November 3,2006, and reserve their risht to supplement their disclosures and responses as required under Federal Rule o f Civil Procedure 26(e).
Resoonses to the htem;itories or Straus. Abbe, and Mull er and to Reauests for Admission
Plaintiffs disagree with your suggestion that they have waived objections to the intemgatories of Straus, Muller, and Abbe by relying upon the agreement of JDSU's counsel to permit an

extension of the discovery deadline for the discovery propounded .by defendants. Plaintifis similarly disagree that the requests for admission issued by defendants should be deemed admilred in light of Plaintiffs' reliance on the same agreement.
tn a conference call on September 19,2006, ten days bcfore the then-scheduled deadline for responses to the interrogatories and requests for admission, defendants stated that they would accede to a reasonable extension of the time for Plaintiffs to respond to their lengthy and burdensome requests. The parties agreed that some requests should be responded to by the September 29,2006 deadline, some requests in the weeks following, md some requests still later.
In a letter d ~ t e d September 20,2006, you reiterated your agreement to a reasonable extension o f time, but suggested that a one month extension of time would limit your ability to conduct certain depositions, and stafed that "there were certain interrogatories that plaintiffs could respond to with less than a one month extmsion." Nowhere in this letter do you state that you would refuse a one month extension as to any intcrrogatory. We agreed to review the inlcnogatories to determine whether there were some requests that could be answered 011 a more expedited basis, and to submit proposed dates for responses.
Plaintiffs provided this proposal the following day on September 21,2006. In their proposal, Plaintiffs suggested, consistent with defendants' letter of September 20, that they would respond to some interrogatories by rhe then-current deadline, September 29,2006, to some on October 29, 2006, and to others at the close of expert discovery. Plair~tiffs proposed that they would respond to the rcquests for admission on October 29,2006. Plaintiffs made no request for a "blanket one month extension." Indeed, on September 29,2006, consistent with their letter of September 20,2006, Plaintiffs provided lengthy rcsponses to certain interrogatories propounded by Abbe and Straus,
Defendants made no counter proposal, and did not communicate any disagreement to Plaintiffs until the day Plaintifls ' responses were due. On that day, September 29,2006, Defendants stated tha~ they did not agree to the extension ser out a week oarliw.
In light of this history, your letter of October 24 misstates key facts. YOU repeatedly urge that, prior 10 the expiration of the September 29,2006 deadline for responses, JDS U hod twice informed Plaintiffs that it would not agree to a one month extension. This is mistaken, At both the September 19,2006 meet-and-confer and in its September 20,2006 order, JDSU stated merely that it expected that som! requests could be responded to in less than a month. You further misrepresent that Plaintiffs took no action when they received your letter of September 29,2006, reneging on your earlicr agreement. In fact, Plaintiffs responded five days later with a letter discussing the issue.

Plaintiffs are making diligent efforts to respond to defendants' voluminous requests. Although we hoped to provide a complete response on October 28,2006, it has become apparent that lesrimony in depositions taken this week is relevant to dcfendar.ltsl requests and will need to bc included to provide the most comprehensive response possible . Accordingly, we will provide responses as follows:
Straus Interrogatories on October 30,2006.
Abbe Interrogatories by November 6,2006.
Requests for Admission by November 6,2006.
We trust chat, in light of the additional ten months defendants have taken to respond to Plaintiffs' document requests, they will understand the need for this short additional extension of time.
Tn addition, Plaintiffs have a p e d to review their cwrent responses to inlerrogatories propounded by defendant Tony Muller, and lo provide any necessary supplemental responses. With respect Lo responses that do not call for expert analysis, we anticipate that we will be able to complete our ~eview by November 14,2006, With respect to those requests that will call for expert analysis, we have concluded that we will be able to provide you with responses at close of expert discovery.
As to the depositions of Jeff Nguyen and Matthew Voichck, we are lulablc at this time to slipulatc that we will not use testimony or evidence from these witncsscs to support our case-

I write concerning Plaintiffs' responses to Defendant Anthony Muller's First Set ofInterrogatories . We met and conferred with Plaintiffs regarding the responses on October 23,2006. The substance of that discussion, including Plaintiffs' agreement to' supplement theirresponses, is outlined in my letter of October 24 . To date, Plaintiffs have not supplementedtheir responses or otherwise responded regarding the substance of the meet and confer . Yourletter of October 27 states only that Plaintiffs would review the responses by November 14and provide any supplement thereafter.
Accordingly, we consider our meet and confer obligation with respect to these interrogatoryresponses complete . We intend to file a motion to compel additional responses on December12 .

Sent: November 09,2006 11:29 AM To: Besirof, Philip T.; Garland, Terri Cc: Caro, Howard S.; Chris Heffelfiner Subject: JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation, 02-1486 CW ( EDL)-- Supplemental Disclosures and Discovery Responses
Dear Terri and Philip:
I am responding to Philip's letter from last night, November 8,2006, regarding supplemental disclosures and discovery responses. We recognize that the supplemental disclosures were due on November 3, 2006. We simply lost track of that date with all the other discovery responses we have been preparing and depositions we have been taking. We request that you allow us until Friday, February 17, 2006 to supplement those disclosures. If that date is acceptable to you, we will prepare a stipulation and order for submission to the Court. Let's add this to the agenda for our call this afternoon.
We recently sewed the following responses and supplemental responses to your clients' discovery demands on the following dates: (1) Supplemental Responses and Objections to Defendant Anthony Muller's First Set of lnterrogatories dated September 11,2006; (2) Responses and Objections to Defendant Jozef Straus's First Set of lnterrogatories dated September 29,2006 and November 1,2006; (3) Responses to Defendant Charles J. Abbe's First Set of lnterrogatories dated November 6,2006; (4) Response to Defendant JDSU's First Set of Requests for Admissions dated November 6,2006. At this time, so soon after we served the responses, we see no need to supplement them. As to the other discovery demands that your clients served, we have no supplemental information to provide at this time. We are aware of the continuing obligation all parties have to supplement discovery responses and will do so if and when the need arises.
We received JDSU's Second Supplemental Response to Request No. 6 of Lead Plaintiff's First Set of lnterrogatories and Second Set of Document Demands, dated November 3, 2006. The supplemental information contained in that response is information that JDSU had in its possession on September 30,2005, when Connecticut sewed those interrogatories. JDSU should have long ago provided this information, and Connecticut reserves all its rights with respect to JDSU's unjustified delay in providing that information.
Very truly yours,
Tony Harwood

Re: JDS Uniphase Securities Litigation, C-02-1486 CW (EDL)
Dear Terri and Howard :
] write in response to Tern's email of Friday, December 8, 2006, proposing A revised schedule for
expert discovery, which we received at 8 ;52 p .m, eastern time, and in response to l-loward', email of
the same date, received at 10 :15 p.m. eastern time. I also write to address your requests that wesupplement intend story responses .
We are in favor of extending the deadlines related to expert discovery, provided that it does not
change the date for submission of summazy judgment motions . Judge Wilken was clear about the
time she needed to decide summary judgment motions when she set the initial schedule, and webelieve your proposal would not leave her adequate time.
We propose instead to extend the deadlines as follows:
Current Schedule
Reports ; 1/8/07
Rebuttals: 2/5/07
Cut-off 3/19/07
Sum. J. 4/13/07
Proposed Extension
1/29/07
2/19/07
3/19/07
4/13/07
Please let mc- know whether this is acceptable to you .
With respect to supplementing responses to interrogatories, we propose to supplement ourresponses to all interrogatories served by all defendants by January 19, 2007, including theintcrrugatories of defendant Anthony Muller . As set forth in my letter to Howard of December 8 ,2006, we need this additional time to assimilate the information obtained though depositions and t o

incorporate additional documentary evidence we have identified in our continuing analysis of thecast. As you are aware, most of those depositions concluded by December 1, but the deposition ofScott Parker was not concluded until December 5, 2006 and ether, are still Open . We also need thistime in part because of the several motions that require briefing, the impending holidays and thevacations of important members of our team .
We believe this proposal is consistent with our obligation to supplement interrogatory responsesunder Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) . As the advisory committee notes to the 1993 amendments explain,
"Supplemenrarions need not be made as each new item of information is learned but should bemade .st appropriate intervals during the discovery period, and with special promptness as the trialdate approaches ." Sec also Wnl6ersdeij'v. Desrodber.r, 2006 WI.3344762 (D .Me). As we have recently
supplemented our interrogatory responses in early November, and we have just completed a largenumber of depositions which we have to analyze for purposes of supplementing the response, webelieve our proposal is entirely reasonable . In addition, it addresses Howard's concern that he have
the supplemental responses prior to the date for exchanging expert reports . As 1 have previously
informed you both, we would be willing to extend defendants' tithe to move to compel with respect
to the supplemental responses .
Howard, as I stated in my letter of December 8, 2006,1 wanted to get this proposal to you thatafternoon. However, I was unable to do so, as we were waiting for counsel for)DSU's proposal onthe extension of the schedule for expert discovery . 1 know tint is short, so I have addressed this assoon as possible on the next business day following receipt of your email, after discussing theproposal with our team . I also want you to know that I disagree with the statement in your email ofDecember 8 that I was unprepared when I met and conferred with you on December 7 regardingConnecticut's responses to Kevin Kalkhoven's interrogatories .
Very truly yours,
Anthony J . I ia .rwoodOf Counsel
