I, BRIAN ORION, declare:
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and am admitted
to practice before this Court. I am an associate at the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP,
counsel of record for the defendants JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”), Charles J. Abbe, Jozef
Straus, and Anthony Muller (collectively the “JDSU Defendants”), in this action. I submit this
declaration in support of the JDSU Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel
Production of Documents and the Reopening of Depositions. I make this Declaration based on
personal knowledge, except for any items stated on information and belief, which I am informed
and believe are true. If called as a witness, I would testify to the following facts.
2. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of an excerpt from the JDSU
Defendants’ Responses to Lead Plaintiff’s First Request for Production of Documents served on
April 4, 2005.
3. I am informed and believe that before moving to compel on December 12, 2006,
Plaintiffs did not meet and confer with JDSU’s counsel regarding the production of documents in
JDSU’s possession, custody, or control, for the forty individuals listed in paragraph one of the
[Proposed] Order Regarding Connecticut’s Motion To Compel.
4. On July 12, 2005, Plaintiffs filed Lead Plaintiff’s Notice of Motion, Motion, and
Memorandum in Support of Motion to Compel Production of Documents.
5. Attached as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of a transcript created at Morrison
& Foerster from an audio tape of an August 16, 2005 hearing before Judge Laporte. I am
informed and believe that my colleague Mathew dos Santos listened to an audio recording of the
hearing and confirmed that the transcript accurately sets forth the dialogue in the recording from
the hearing, excluding extraneous interjections, exclamations, or repeated words.
6. Plaintiffs served several non-parties with document-only subpoenas in March
2005. Among others, Plaintiffs served subpoenas on Harry Deffebach (March 10, 2005), Eitan
Gertel (March 1, 2005), and Michael Phillips (March 2, 2005). I have reviewed the subpoenas for
these three individuals and confirmed that the subpoenas called for the production of documents
concerning transactions in JDSU securities.

7. Attached as Exhibits 3, 4, and 5 are true and correct copies of objections that
Messrs. Deffebach (April 11, 2005), Gertel (March 28, 2005), and Phillips (April 11, 2005),
served to Plaintiffs’ March 2005 subpoenas.
8. Attached as Exhibit 6 is a true and correct copy of a March 17, 2006 letter from
Joseph C. Merschman to Holly H. Tambling.
9. Attached as Exhibit 7 is a true and correct copy of an April 7, 2006 letter from
Holly H. Tambling to Joseph C. Merschman.
10. Beginning in September 2006, Plaintiffs issued deposition subpoenas to, among
others — Ashok Chandran (September 12, 2006); Jeff Chase (October 12, 2006); Ken Crawford
(September 29, 2006); Bruce Day (December 22, 2006); Eitan Gertel (October 12, 2006); Scott
Parker (November 17, 2006); and Michael Phillips (October 12, 2006). Each of these subpoenas
sought documents concerning transactions in JDSU securities from each of these individuals.
Each of these witnesses timely served objections to these subpoenas, asserting privacy rights
regarding personal financial information, with the exception of Mr. Day, whose objections are not
due until January 5, 2007. Plaintiffs did not ask to meet and confer on these objections until
October 30, 2006. Counsel for JDSU and Plaintiffs met and conferred on November 9, 2006, but
were unable to reach an agreement on the production of non-party financial information. The
deposition subpoena Plaintiffs served on Harry Deffebach, dated August 2, 2006, did not seek
documents concerning transactions in JDSU securities.
11. Attached as Exhibit 8 is a true and correct copy of an October 30, 2006 letter from
Anthony J. Harwood to Terri Garland.
12. Attached as Exhibit 9 is a true and correct copy of the subpoena Plaintiffs served
on Morrison & Foerster on August 1, 2006. Attached as Exhibits 13, 14 and 15, are true and
correct copies of the subpoenas Plaintiffs served on Wilson Sonsini (July 19, 2006), Collette &
Erickson (July 28, 2006), and Sullivan & Cromwell (August 1, 2006), respectively. Counsel
began meeting and conferring regarding the scope of the Morrison & Foerster subpoena on
September 11, 2006. I am informed and believe that on September 25, 2006, Morrison &
Foerster informed Plaintiffs that it would make available certain documents that had been

produced to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in order to obtain regulatory
clearance for mergers. Plaintiffs inspected those documents over six days ranging from
September 29 to October 12, 2006. Mr. Tavares’s notebooks were among the documents that
Plaintiffs designated for copying during their inspection. Morrison & Foerster provided the
designated documents to Plaintiffs’ copy vendor on October 20, 2006. I am informed and believe
that on November 1, Plaintiffs requested the specific Bates label numbers for Mr. Tavares’s
notebooks. Within one hour of receiving this request, Morrison & Foerster provided Plaintiffs
with that information.
13. I am informed and believe that Plaintiffs deposed Mr. Tavares for five hours and
forty-five minutes on November 3, 2006. Plaintiffs used approximately forty-five minutes of Mr.
Tavares’s deposition to question him about his notebooks. Attached hereto as Exhibit 16 is a true
and correct copy of an excerpt from Mr. Tavares’s deposition transcript.
14. Attached as Exhibit 10 is a true and correct copy of a letter dated December 11,
2006, from Philip T. Besirof to Anthony J. Harwood, noting that in a December 7, 2006 meet and
confer session, Plaintiffs stated their intention to try to reopen Mr. Tavares’s deposition.
15. Plaintiffs’ proposed order, at paragraph one, lists forty individuals. I have
reviewed this list of individuals and I have also reviewed documents setting out the job titles for
certain of these individuals during the relevant time period. Plaintiffs list includes three
administrative assistants, a customer service representative, and numerous other non-executive
personnel.
16. Attached as Exhibit 11 is a true and correct copy of a December 15, 2006 letter
from Philip T. Besirof to Anthony J. Harwood.
17. Attached as Exhibit 12 is a true and correct copy of a November 7, 2006 letter
from Philip T. Besirof to Anthony J. Harwood.
18. Before both Mr. Abbe and Dr. Straus were deposed, JDSU produced all non-
privileged documents in its possession showing their transactions in JDSU securities.
19. Morrison & Foerster coordinated the deposition appearances of the following
Canadian witnesses: Kenneth Cameron, Stephanie Franklin, Carol Ann Graves, Mario LeDuc,

Leo Lefebvre, David Lightfoot, Rick MacMillan, Roger Miskowicz, Peter Moore, Robert Russell,
Maurice Tavares, and Kumar Visvanatha. Before deposing the Canadian witnesses, Plaintiffs
were aware that many had asserted outstanding objections to producing their personal financial
information. Each non-party Canadian witness that was served with a subpoena seeking
documents concerning transactions in JDSU securities timely served objections to producing such
documents on privacy grounds.
20. JDSU has produced documents reflecting Eitan Gertel’s trades in JDSU securities.
These documents (JDSU2419855-60, JDSU2419866-68, JDSU2420345-46, JDSU2891707),
were produced to Plaintiffs on January 24, 2006, several months before Mr. Gertel’s deposition.
21. In response to the an agreement reached with Plaintiffs’ counsel, on May 26, 2006,
Messrs. Deffebach and Phillips provided Plaintiffs with declarations confirming the information
in their Form 4s filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
foregoing is true and correct, and that this declaration was executed on the 29th day of
December 2006, in San Francisco, California.

1 I _ The JDSU Defendants object to the Requests, including each definition and
instruction contained therein, to the extent that they purport to impose obligations on the
JDSU Defendants that are greater than:those osed by the Federal Rules of CivilImp
Procedure.
12. The JDSU Defendants object to the. Requests, including each Definition and
Instruction, to the extent that they purport to impose upon the JDSU Defend is an

not in their own possession, custody, or control .
13. The JDSU Defendants object to Instruction No. S to the extent that it imposes on
the JDSU Defendants pan obligation to fur fish Lead Plaintiff with a privilege log that contain s

categorically requests privileged documents, no privilege log will be produced.
14 . The JDSU Defendants object to the Requests as a whole as overbroad and unduly
burdensome. Literal compliance with. these Requests would require the JDSU Defendants t o
search :for and produce virtually every document in their possession . relating to JDSU during
the period January 1, 1999, to April 4, 2005, evert though the 'vast majority of such
documents have no bearing on this case Moreover,. JDS T employs thousands of persons
who work in. locations throughout North America and al road . Requiring the . JDSU
Defendants to search all facilities and the files of :all employees is unduly burdensome and
harassing- It wotuld be a practical impossibility even to assemble all of the documents that
might be called for by the Requests . Thus, for the time being, and without prejudice to Lead
Plaintiff's ability to seek additional documents from other, locations . later, the . JDSU
Defendants will search for documents at .JDSSU's facilities in San Jose and Ottawa . Except as
otherwise specified in response to a particular request, the JDSU Defendants will search for

EDL Courtroom Transcript
August 16, 2005
Deputy: Calling Civil 02-1486 In re JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation. Counsel, please state your appearances for the record.
Harwood: Good morning Your Honor. I’m Tony Harwood from Goodkind, Labaton, been admitted pro hac vice. With me is Jon Adams and Mike Stocker from — Jon Adams is from Goodkind and . . .
Stocker: … from Berman DeValerio.
Judge: Very good, thank you.
Harwood: We’re for the Lead Plaintiff.
Besirof: Good morning, Your Honor, Philip Besirof from Morrison & Foerster for the JDSU Defendants, and with me is my colleague, Terri Garland.
Judge: Good morning.
Caro: Good morning Your Honor, Howard Caro of Heller Ehrman for defendant Kalkhoven and I’m with my colleague Madeleine Loh.
Judge: All right. Okay. Well, let’s start with the motion to compel the production of the Lead Plaintiff’s fee agreement. The only thing specific that I’ve gleaned that defendant is arguing is something that would be improper and create some kind of conflict of interest is something about requiring or providing incentives to hold the Individual Defendants liable. Can you explain that?
Besirof: Yes, Your Honor. We use that as one example . . .
Judge: Right. But what is that example? I don’t even understand that one.
Besirof: Yes. That would be for instance if the fee agreement specifies that one of the individually named defendants, let’s say Kevin Kalkhoven, the former CEO of the company, personally contributes to any settlement in the case, that a bonus would be paid to class counsel for that, and that would provide a political benefit to the Lead Plaintiff, who has political aspirations, but it would provide nothing to the class.
Judge: The Lead Plaintiff being?
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 2 of 22
sf-1986475 2
Besirof: The Connecticut Treasurer.
Judge: Mm-hmm.
Besirof: But it would provide nothing to the class. Because your average class member would have no — it would be of no moment whether monies were paid from the company or from perhaps from the individual pocket of one of the defendants.
Judge: All right.
Harwood: Well, I’d have to disagree that it would have no significance to the class because — well, first of all, it’s completely hypothetical — I should say that. But, and I have — but it would certainly be of moment to the class if the class received an award from the company and an award from the Individual Defendants as opposed to an award only from the company.
Judge: Right. You’d think it would increase the pot.
Harwood: Exactly.
Judge: And result in more recovery. So, I find that very attenuated, but I — but that would be a decision for the trial judge, not for me as to whether that constituted a conflict or not. But the trial judge has already found an adequate counsel I take it.
Besirof: But Your Honor, we have a class certification hearing coming up where adequacy, of course, is the prime issue.
Judge: Mm-hmm. [repeated]
Besirof: And this discovery is needed for that class certification.
Judge: All right, well, and the main objection to — that I understood from Lead Plaintiff is that you want to redact communications regarding the settlement value of the case.
Harwood: Yes, Your Honor. Well, it’s — the fee agreement is structured in such a way that there are different percentages at different recoveries. We are now going into . . .
Judge: With different tiers . . .
Harwood: Different tiers.
Judge: . . . so you can — it’s the downward sliding scale presumably.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 3 of 22
sf-1986475 3
Harwood: So we are now going into a mediation, and that sort of information would, I believe, reflect counsel and the client’s assessment of the settlement value of the case . . .
Judge: Well, potentially.
Harwood: . . . and shouldn’t be disclosed at this point.
Judge: Well, you could redact what the — you could leave the percentages in and redact the tier, in other words, the trigger or the different percentages kicking in, I suppose.
Harwood: Yes, I think we could do that.
Judge: Is there anything — I mean, if I have to I’ll look at this in camera. I mean I think that the cases say only under limited circumstances does this have any relevance. But there are limited circumstances according to the Ninth Circuit where it would, and since I don’t know what’s in there, if I have to, I’ll look at it. You know . . . but I would prefer if we can just agree on what you can redact and you’re willing to turn it over.
Besirof: We would have no opposition, Your Honor, if plaintiff merely redacted the dollar amount of the triggers that we’re talking about.
Judge: Right, but I don’t know if there are other things that are sensitive in there also.
Harwood: Well, our preference would be to have it reviewed in camera, it’s not a long document, it wouldn’t be burdensome.
Judge: Well . . .
Harwood: That’s a procedure that’s been endorsed by other courts.
Judge: All right, well I’m willing to do that, but then I want you to also put specifically what you want to redact. You know, show what that is to me, you know with brackets or something else. And, I don’t want to have an ex parte communication so I think you should explain to me now if there are any other bases for wanting to redact without revealing whatever it is that you don’t want revealed.
Harwood: The only concern is that this would reflect settlement strategy.
Judge: Okay. All right. Anything further?
Besirof: Well, I just want to be more specific, Your Honor. So, is it Your Honor’s order that they would place brackets around the dollar amount of these triggers?
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 4 of 22
sf-1986475 4
Judge: Right. And anything else they say that they want to redact, which if there is anything else that I consider an example. And then I will decide . . .
Besirof: Okay.
Judge: . . . what if anything, you know, what should be redacted. I definitely think the trigger is a threshold where different percentage kicked in should be redacted. Ultimately, this is going to be relevant but I think it’s not relevant now unless it reveals some kind of arguable conflict. All right. So, that’s the defense motion and when can you submit that?
Harwood: We should be able to do that next week.
Judge: Okay, does it have to be that long?
Harwood: Well . . .
Judge: The sooner you submit it the fresher it is in my mind, so . . .
Harwood: We’ll try to do it this week.
Judge: Okay. I’d like to get it this week. All right. Then — multiple other issues in the plaintiff’s motion. On the time period, the issue seems to be documents that refer back to the relevant time period, but that were generated after the relevant time period, is that correct?
Harwood: Correct.
Judge: All right. And there is certainly case support for finding relevance to those and ordering them. On the other hand, there is the issue of the burdensomeness and basically the proportionality of Rule 26(b) — but really it comes down to burden. I imagine that, I suppose you are seeking many, many millions of dollars so fairly larger expenditures would be proportional. There is a grab bag of arguments about what’s burdensome on the defense side, and I’m certainly convinced that there is burdensome burden, there is burden. There is kind of — one of them is sort of surprising though, which is some of this is on active computer servers and that would be disruptive. I mean, usually it’s considered that the active stuff is a lot easier to access than the archived and stored stuff and even if it’s disruptive, not only somewhat, and can be done on nights and weekends and it could be, or mirror images could be created or what have you. I mean that is usually considered the easiest and least expensive. So, I mean I was somewhat taken aback to see that. It made me somewhat skeptical when I see that thrown in. It’s sort of overreaching I would say.
Besirof: That’s the case Your Honor, because we’re already in the process of reviewing of the litigation back-up tapes that we have created. So, the active server tapes are just in place and we have not reviewed those tapes.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 5 of 22
sf-1986475 5
But, I think that the most important issue is that we are talking about financial statements that were made in 2001 with the last allegedly false statement occurring May 10, 2001. Is there some remote possibility that a relevant document exists after their class period? It’s possible. Is it possible the week after the statement was made? Yes. Is it possible at the end of that quarter? Becoming less likely. Is it possible the following financial quarter, would there be statements that reflect back to the class the class period that we’re talking about? Highly unlikely. And when you couple that, Your Honor, with the burden that we would face in terms of reviewing, as you saw in Mr. Walker’s declaration, huge amounts of electronic data searching for a needle in a haystack that might not exist. Basically, plaintiff’s argument is that “oh, let’s just have them look at three and a half years just to see if there is some statement that reflects back.”
Judge: Right. I mean I do think it’s overbroad as stated. If there was some particular cause for suspicion that there was some smoking gun afterwards, you know I don’t know would it be a year later, “oh my God, I just looked at the year old statements, and you know, we’re in big trouble if anybody finds out.” I mean is that what you’re looking for? I’m not sure what it is.
Harwood: Well, I want to take issue with a couple of things there. I think that it’s not highly unlikely that statements made after the class period will appear in their documents. I don’t think that the employees at JDS instantly stopped talking about the problems with the company’s finances the day the class period ended. In fact, I would suggest that when the class period ends and when the stock has pretty much reached its bottom with respect to these representations that are at issue, that’s when people are really going to start talking. And when a lawsuit is filed, people are going to start talking again. And when a motion to dismiss is granted or denied people will start talking about it again. Or, when there are articles in the newspaper about it, so, I completely disagree with the proposition that it’s remote that there will be information subsequent to the end of the class period. I think it’s just defying reality to think people instantly stopped when the class period ended, in some ways that’s an arbitrary date. And it’s a date that gets people — to the extent that it has any effect on people — it gets people concerned about the problem, not sooth it, it doesn’t sooth them.
Judge: Right, but I mean you really haven’t addressed burdensome in this argument. I mean you know, your side — there is no — I mean these are the hardest cases because all of the burden is on one side. There is no mutually assured destruction here to lead you to limit what you ask for.
Harwood: Well, I haven’t seen — although we’ve seen a declaration on electronic evidence, I haven’t seen anything in the defendants’ papers to indicate that
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 6 of 22
sf-1986475 6
their documents are even segregated by date, so that by shortening the time period they would in fact be looking at less documents. As I understand there are boxes in many diverse locations. They’re not indexed, they’ve told us in a letter that they have 25,000 of these boxes, that they’re going to have to pull every single one of them.
Judge: Well, I think, I mean this is, you know — this is the kind of thing where I wish that the two sides could engage, and I’m going to require you to in some kind of meaningful meet-and-confer. This is the sort of argument that requires, I think, some creative approach. It’s not all that creative, it’s all over the place, and The Sedona Principles and all the law review articles where you agree on some kind of sampling, both if necessary the electronic and the hard copies. You look at that and you phase it in, you have certain deadlines. You target what you think is going to be the highest pay dirt, because if the sampling doesn’t reveal anything helpful then, you know, you’re not going to get any more. If it does, then it’s going to justify further — and you know — I shouldn’t have to sit here and handcraft this for you. You all should be able to do that.
Besirof: Your Honor, may I respond to Mr. Harwood comment? Two things: and, Your Honor used the example of an employee looking at a financial statement X number of years later, and saying “oh my gosh, we’re in trouble for that statement three years ago.” Well, even that wouldn’t be relevant. That would not show anything about the scienter of the defendants at the time those statements were made. Is there, you know, is there some possibility that someone reflects back on those statements? It’s possible, but it doesn’t go to the issue . . .
Judge: No, but they might say — they might say “oh my God, I’m more likely to get caught now for the bad stuff I did.” Okay, so plainly there could be things that are relevant. The question is, you know, how do you balance the benefit and the burden and I’m just, I’m not ruling out some discovery in the later period. But I think as what the plaintiff wants now is very much overbroad, but I think that they do make a point that it’s not magically completely irrelevant after the relevant time period. There is some relevance and you need to come up with some kind of a plan that, with you looking for your absolute best case, not just scatter shot look at everything, and do some sampling that is not unduly burdensome and then see if it turns anything out. If is doesn’t, then you’re not going to get any more. If it does, look at what the next stage is. But, so, I mean, the most guidance I can give you now is it’s not irrelevant, but it’s sufficiently less likely to yield pay dirt that it’s got to be approached accordingly.
Harwood: There was one other point I wanted to make on this before we leave it Your Honor, which is that we — the defendants have made requests to the plaintiff for class discovery purposes which are completely unlimited as to time, and just yesterday they took deposition of a member of the
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 7 of 22
sf-1986475 7
Investment Advisory Council for the State of Connecticut who only joined the Investment Advisory Council ten months ago. So, this is a little bit also of a waiver argument because . . .
Judge: I don’t buy that. In other words, if they’ve been doing something wrong bring a motion, but I don’t go with the school of thought that, you know, we can accuse the other side of taking inconsistent position, therefore grant us ours. If their position is wrong, hold them to it.
Besirof: The difference, of course, Your Honor, is class adequacy is an issue now. The financial statements . . .
Judge: Well, I don’t know what the difference is, it’s really not before me. And, you know, we’ve got a lot of issues to go through. So, I just don’t find that kind of reasoning persuasive.
Besirof: Your Honor, can I raise one more point briefly? Depending on the size of the additional class period that plaintiff is going to ask for, would Your Honor consider some sort of cost shifting with regard to those dates.
Judge: Well, maybe, but I mean not for the initial sampling, so let’s have — in other words, we’ll see what that turns up, but that’s got to be not terribly expensive or not vastly expensive. See what that turns up.
Besirof: Thank you, Your Honor.
Judge: So not for the initial testing, but, you know, that should be a limited . . . Now, on the locations it doesn’t seem that there is a disagreement, it’s rather a question that all these locations ultimately have to be searched, it’s rather a question of timing, is that correct?
Harwood: Yes, Your Honor . . .
Besirof: We . . .
Judge: All right.
Besirof: Yes, we told the Lead Plaintiff from the beginning that we would start with these two headquarters and then other locations that were mentioned in the complaint would follow.
Judge: Okay, well — before getting back to schedule let’s continue on more specifics. The request for all the documents in the personnel files of defendants and certain non-defendants, I — I don’t see the relevance of that. The few nonbinding cases that say, that deal with 1983 claims against police, are completely distinguishable. Those are usually dealing with issues like did the municipality train them, did they have repeat use of force, and so on. So, that reasoning is just not applicable.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 8 of 22
sf-1986475 8
Harwood: There is more to those cases than that . . .
Judge: Well . . .
Harwood: . . . there is also the issue of credibility.
Judge: Yeah. And, in fact, if credibility was an “open sesame,” all witnesses’ credibility would always be relevant, and you could always get their personnel file no matter what. It’s just that reasoning I find completely unpersuasive.
Harwood: These are important witnesses, Your Honor, and the . . .
Judge: Well, I know they’re important, but I just don’t see the relevance of their personnel file. Now, if you said were they disciplined for stock fraud or something like that, or for talking to the SEC, that might be relevant, but their personnel files in general, I just don’t see.
Harwood: The defendants have access to them and if we put on witnesses who present damaging evidence to the defendants’ case there is nothing to stop the defendants from going through those personnel files, and using that on cross-examination.
Judge: I don’t understand, what, “didn’t you get a good performance review from the same company that’s guilty of fraud?” Is that what you’re talking about? You haven’t given me an example of anything that I find persuasive, I don’t know what it is that . . .
Harwood: Well, there could be evidence in the personnel file that a witness has embezzled money, there could be evidence that a witness has committed fraud.
Judge: No. All right. I’m denying it without prejudice. If you come back and ask for evidence of fraud or embezzlement or things that are related to the current accusations, that’s a different story. But, you come nowhere near making the showing to overcome the privacy concerns. All right now, on the other hand, diaries, appointment calendars, telephone logs I think can be highly relevant. Personal information, like say doctor’s appointment, or going to the kid’s school, or what have you, that can be redacted. Is there anything either of you want to add on that topic?
Besirof: Your Honor, we already agreed to give those documents with regard to the Individual Defendants, although plaintiff’s papers don’t say that. Our objection is the fact that they had included 38 people for whom they want these documents with no subject matter limitation. So, we would ask that some reasonable subject matter limitation, so they get those documents, but as it relates to the allegations of the . . .
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 9 of 22
sf-1986475 9
Judge: Well, like what? What are you proposing?
Besirof: Well, Your Honor, I would propose the same type of limitation that we use, for instance, in our response to request to Request Number 2. I can read that to the Court, would that be helpful?
Judge: Mm-hmmm.
Besirof: Demand for JDSU’s products, actual or forecasted financial results, efforts to expand or contract manufacturing capacity or headcount, revenue recognition, inventory levels, goodwill, accounting practices, forecasting of revenues or sales, financial statements, financial reporting, or mergers with the three transactions that are relevant to this case.
Judge: But what does that do? I mean that means you’ve got to go through, and spend hours going through the diary redacting things based on somewhat subjective — I mean, if a diary says “meeting with so-and-so” and it’s one of the defendants, they should know about that and be able test whether that was or wasn’t about any of these topics. I mean I think it’s sort of impractical, that’s the problem with what you’re suggesting.
Harwood: I agree with you on that, Your Honor. I think that typically what you’ll see in the diaries are just, you know, “conference call with Kalkhoven,” that’s a very important fact for us. This is a witness who was involved in estimating demand and had a negative view of the company’s future demand, and had a call with Kalkhoven on a particular date, we need to probe about that.
Judge: All right, now have you put date limits on this?
Harwood: We have — no, we have not, we have applied the same relevant period.
Judge: Mm-hmm. Well, the relevant period meaning the class period, or you’re saying through the present?
Harwood: No, no. Through April of 2005. And this is not anywhere near as burdensome as the requests directed to the company as a whole . . .
Judge: Well, I agree, yes, I agree with that.
Harwood: . . . it’s just diaries, it’s 38 people.
Judge: Now, the 38 is — how are they picked, the ones who aren’t defendants?
Harwood: These are either . . .
Judge: That’s 38 of them who aren’t.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 10 of 22
sf-1986475 10
Harwood: These are either people who engaged in some insider trading on their own but are not defendants, who traded stock during the class period, we’ll call it.
Judge: But didn’t necessarily rise to the level of trading that would . . .
Harwood: We made a strategic decision not to make them defendants.
Besirof: Your Honor . . .
Harwood: Or, they are — excuse me — there is another group of very senior executives who are general managers of plants where there was, where there was questionable conduct who were responsible for marketing or demand issues. So, these are people who have responsibilities that go precisely to the top as Mr. Besirof identified.
Judge: Right. I’m going to grant this and redactions can be made on purely personal appointments, you know, such as doctor, or family. But, all business appointments that are reflected or business contacts should be produced. All right, on the — that’s Request 46. 47 is the net worth, current net worth. I find that extremely attenuated, and I just don’t — I’m not convinced that that is relevant. I mean I think the case is really, it’s the ones that you’ve cited are really distinguishable if you’re talking about the net worth of a company for example, or other — whether somebody can pay a loan that’s at issue, that kind of thing. But just net worth per se, I just don’t see the relevance of that. I think it’s, you know, how much stock did you sell relevant to how much you used to sell, and that kind of thing rather than how it impacts your net worth. I mean these people — it just seems very attenuated to me. All right, now . . .
Harwood: You said that was current net worth?
Judge: Current or at the time. 47 goes to current I think. But I think some of them you’ve also asked for net worth during the insider trading period, and I just don’t see the relevance.
Harwood: Right. During the period where the trading is taking place, Your Honor, if someone sells stock that’s worth 200% of their personal net worth, that has more probative value for determining scienter than if somebody sells .5% of their net worth.
Judge: Yeah, well, I suppose, but I didn’t see a single case that was supporting that.
Harwood: Well, we haven’t seen a single case that’s rejecting it either, in the defendant’s brief, and I think the case dealing with the net worth of a corporation is an analogous situation.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 11 of 22
sf-1986475 11
Judge: I really don’t think it is. It just really seems — I think you’re talking about, you know, how much did they sell, and if they sold millions, you know, whether that’s a drop in the bucket of their net worth, or it’s a lot. I mean the only ones that we’d be probative of is people who are relatively poor. I just don’t see it. I’m not saying you can’t ask in depositions, for example, you know, “did you go out and buy any new Mercedes,” or “did you buy a new house?” I’m not saying that’s irrelevant, I just don’t see disclosing their exact net worth as relevant — sufficiently relevant.
All right. Then on, okay, I think 51 had to do with personnel files, diaries, we’ve already addressed that. Stock purchases, etc. I think that’s relevant. Should be done.
Now, personal information for former employees. This is another one where I would think, you know you ought to be able to, should have been able to, should now be able to meet-and-confer on something that makes sense. Because I don’t know, you know, defendant’s have thrown up a lot of objections about how would we find this information, some of them may well be valid, some of them may not be. I mean for electronic information that you have during the relevant period about, you know, that might help the plaintiffs track down disgruntled ex-employees who are willing to tell all now about, you know, past stock manipulation or what have you, they should be able to have a shot at finding those people, and if you can do that through your electronic databases, you know, certainly if they were fired or so on. But if you don’t have the exit interviews in an easy way to find, or you have them for some and not for others, that’s the kind of thing you have to talk about. If you have them for some, produce those. If you don’t have them for others, and would take a lot of trouble maybe you can’t produce them. Maybe they’re going to have to do the investigation themselves and just get a list of all the ex-employees from certain departments and maybe you need to define that more. In other words, I believe they are entitled to information about ex-employees and contact information. And to the extent that you have it, and can, you know, even justify some effort in finding it, but you know to draw the line and say what effort is too much, nobody gave me enough of that. So, again, I think it’s something I think you ought to be doing in phases. You know, figure out — I think the plaintiffs need to figure out where do they think their best shot is. And make sure you get those people. I mean, who do you have reason to suspect, certain departments, certain positions, or certain people even.
Harwood: We’ve limited our request to former accounting personnel.
Judge: Mm-hmm. And that’s a start, but I think you’ve said you’re not sure how to define that.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 12 of 22
sf-1986475 12
Besirof: And another thing, Your Honor, is that the parties have already identified something like 108 employees and former employees. Many of those important people in finance who will have the information that plaintiffs are looking for.
Judge: Well . . .
Besirof: So, that during depositions if they want to discover further names, they can easily do that. It’s not as if they don’t have a head start into 108 or so people.
Judge: Well, and you know, and maybe they need a few hundred more. Again, I mean, I think you have to cooperate in coming up with a rational plan. The defendants, on the other hand, you can’t just say “no, we won’t do anything.” I mean, I think you have to — I don’t think you’re being forthcoming enough with what you’ve proposed is too expensive and too broad, but we’ll give you this, and we can do this. I mean that’s the problem, you know. If I could devote myself full time to you I could give you the kind of detailed guidance that you ought to be able to figure out for yourselves.
Harwood: Well, what I find hard to accept is that the defendants cannot identify who their former accounting personnel are.
Judge: Well, and that is hard to accept, I’m not sure if you mean at the margins so you might have some issues? But, in general, you ought to be able to tell that.
Besirof: The point made by Mr. Yonenage’s declaration on this was that even for those finance people who appear in our electronic database, their title will appear, but that title could well be, or the majority of it will be, “Admin. Clerk,’ for instance. Because they’re not senior people in finance, they’re Admin. Clerks, and there is no way to differentiate “Finance Admin. Clerk” from “Admin. Clerk” in any other business.
Judge: Well, I mean maybe then you just give that to the plaintiffs and they can decide whether they want to pursue the Admin. Clerks or not. I suppose, for example, some secretaries could be the biggest source of information possible, and others might have nothing.
Besirof: But that, Your Honor, would be giving them, you know, every Admin. Clerk that we have in our database.
Judge: Well . . .
Harwood: This is the first I’m hearing of the problem in that level of detail.

Judge: Okay, I think you need to meet-and-confer. I mean this is really not ripe for me. Certainly, all the people who have ever complained about any of the practices, which I think you said should give them the contact information though. And, any of them are, you know, the last known address, etc., I mean as much contact information as you have. But even those who haven’t complained, you know, you should meet-and-confer and try to come up with something rational.
Besirof: And, Your Honor, we’ve already agreed to give them every whistleblower complaint, every internal complaint, every . . .
Judge: No, I know that. But I still, you know, I think they’re entitled to more than that, but how much more I can’t say at this point. So, I really think both sides have not adequately meet-and-conferred. I don’t know whose fault it is, and I’m not trying to assess fault right now, but I’m saying that if it doesn’t improve in the future, I’m going to be very disturbed.
All right, stock transactions by non-parties. I just don’t see that the plaintiff has, at this point, you’ve really explained what it is you hope to learn from that. I mean, they’re not named defendants, what the cases seem to say is there has got be some nexus between the named defendants and these other people. I don’t see the predicate for that yet.
Harwood: Well, let me make another attempt at it. We’re dealing with two categories of people, we’re dealing with people who actually didn’t make trades in stock during the class period, and actually it’s one category of people, right? It’s people who make trades within the stock during the class period.
Judge: Right.
Harwood: Now, if these people are trading their stock ahead of bad news, it’s an indication that they know about the bad news. These are people who are going to lead us to the senior managing people who had knowledge of the adverse information. For example, if employee X traded stock during the class period because employee X knew that demand was a problem, and then we depose employee X and we find, or we get employee X’s calendars, we can find out if employee X spoke to any of the Individual Defendants about this demand problem. So, it is evidence that will lead to very probative evidence of scienter.
Judge: But, scienter of unnamed defendants.
Harwood: No, it will lead . . . it will be probative of scienter of named defendants, because by identifying these people who are trading, or identifying a group of people who have knowledge, and then we can drill down with that group of people, we can probe further with them. We can find out who they’ve been communicating with.

Judge: And what is your request exactly? I’ve forgotten how you worded it.
Harwood: Exact wording I’m going to have to look up.
Besirof: I can read it now.
Judge: All right. Yes.
Besirof: With respect to (and then it names three individuals): A) Any and all of their personal files, diaries, appointment calendars. B) All documents memorializing purchase or sale of stock from JDSU. C) All documents concerning their decision to purchase or sell JDSU stock. And I’m paraphrasing that.
Judge: All right, and this is three individuals only?
Harwood: These are all directors and officers, these three individuals . . .
Judge: And three, three?
Harwood: Yes, in Request 51.
Judge: And, is the time period limited to the class period regarding the purchase and sale?
Harwood: We’ve, you know we’ve been arguing about the time period, so . . .
Judge: Right, I know it.
Harwood: We’ve asserted it’s the entire relevant time period. But we’re talking about trades so sure we’ll talk — these people could be limited to the class period absolutely.
Judge: All right. Well all right, you can find out these three individuals . . .
Harwood: But I think that they’re . . .
Judge: Excuse me. Find out for these three individuals their purchase or sales of stocks in any documents as to why they did it during the class period.
Harwood: I’m not sure that that is the entire set of people whose stock trades were . . .
Judge: All right, well let me put it this way, if it’s a lot of people I’m going to deny it and make you limit it. I mean, I just don’t think some kind of completely scatter shot, you know, “see what we can find,” has support in the cases or in logic. But, there is some very high level people that you have reason to suspect, as you allege — you do allege in your complaint
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 15 of 22
sf-1986475 15
that certain directors sold substantial portions, I assume that’s those three people.
Harwood: Yes. Those three people, and I do believe there were others. I think we were talking about — if you’ll just give me a moment . . .
Besirof: Your Honor I don’t believe there are any others and they already have the Forms 4 for these three people.
Judge: All right, well — they already have the forms of sale on these three people?
Harwood: What do you mean by the Forms?
Besirof: The Forms 4.
Harwood: Forms 4?
Judge: Right, I guess you said you were going to produce that.
Harwood: We requested all documents in JDS’s possession relating to the stock trades.
Judge: Well, and I just . . .
Harwood: Relating to these three people.
Judge: I just ruled, I said prior to this further discussion I said you could get the sales, the trades, which apparently you’re producing Form 4 which will have that, and also documents that show why the decision to sell was made at that point, if any exist.
Okay, now 33 and 35 which have to do with recognition of revenues, the over a million dollars shipments, etc., etc. This is highly relevant information and so, you know quite a bit of effort has to be made to respond to it. So, you know, a lot of objections had been made about how burdensome, and I could see it could be burdensome. But, the problem I have is, you know it seems like, just the answer seems to be therefore we can’t do it at all, rather than coming up with some way to get the information. I mean, for example, to say we will only look at — we won’t look at — we’ll only look at documents on their face. If that’s the case, you know, then the threshold probably can’t just be a million dollars. I mean if you’re only going to look at on the face, then you’re probably going to have to say anything that seems like it could be something, potentially could be close to a million dollars. I mean, in other words, that’s too limited because then something could say, and you know 999,999 and you don’t produce it, I mean it’s a way of, it’s allowing the burdensome to potentially gut the meaningful discovery and that, that
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 16 of 22
sf-1986475 16
can’t be done. There really isn’t a declaration on some of this. So, again, I feel as if, you know, there has been breakdown or not even a commencement of a meaningful meet-and-confer on this. I basically would be granting this subject to, you know, reasonable limitations on how it’s done so that it’s not unduly burdensome.
Besirof: Could I address this, Your Honor? I think it would be helpful if I gave the Court an example of how this might play out. When a product is made at JDSU it has a document called a “traveler” that follows the document during the manufacturing process. The traveler won’t have any indication of who document, or the product was sold to, or the dollar amount, or what other products it was grouped in to create shipment. And, so we would be in the position, and the traveler is just one example of this. But we would be in the position of trying to match every traveler, so every scrap of paper from every product to see if that product was somehow grouped with another product creating an aggregate sale of a million dollars, then determining, did this product or these groups of products, were they ever returned, was their shipment ever delayed? You know, every e-mail that references a shipment with no dollar amount . . .
Judge: All right, so maybe they can’t be done that way, but there may be some other way. I think that, again, this is an example, you reference Lucent and Nortel, maybe you have reason to believe those were the customers that this particularly happened with.
Harwood: We believe that it did happen with those customers, and that they were large customers, but we don’t have a crystal ball, we don’t have access to the records.
Judge: Right, but what I’m saying is I think they’ve thrown out some plausible reasons why there are certain things that they can’t — that it doesn’t make sense to search that way. On the other hand, I suspect that there are other ways to do it. And that, take your best shot that you can — again, it’s a question of phasing, you know, figure out if you have reason to suspect, I’m not saying you can’t get discovery about anybody else, but I’m saying why don’t you start with the ones you really think the smoking guns are probably there, and then talk about what documents they have, and you know they can make things available, have your experts meet-and-confer about how you could do this. I think that the defendants are going to have to do more than they’ve offered to, absolutely. I think this is highly relevant and some significant resources ought to be spent on this. But, you’ve also raised some examples of why it may be hard to do. You may have to rephrase this. Maybe, you know, I think the million trigger was — sounded like a good way to do it, it may turn out that they don’t track it by a million but they track it by some other amount, or type of product which tends to cost a million, or what — I don’t know.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 17 of 22
sf-1986475 17
Harwood: Well that’s right, Your Honor, I mean we were trying to come up with a proposal that was reasonable.
Judge: Okay, and I think it was a good one, and I think that your response so far is inadequate, and I’m ordering you to do more, and again, you have to meet-and-confer and try to come up with something. I am — on now in particular, I don’t know if we’ve talked about it but there is the — this is the case with the Redbook?
Harwood: Yes.
Judge: And somebody who is a . . .
Harwood: . . . Pitre.
Judge: Pitre.
Harwood: Thomas Pitre.
Judge: Have you gotten, I mean I think that those things are obviously highly relevant to all the people he sent the e-mail to, all their responses, this Redbook group, etc. Has that all been — and it’s in the schedule I think, but I mean that sort of thing ought to be produced right away, has it been done yet? It’s relatively limited, it’s highly probative.
Harwood: It’s incomplete.
Judge: All right. Well, whatever is incomplete about it should be done immediately. See, this is the kind of thing I find that defendants are making a lot good arguments about burdensomeness and so on, and some of your arguments of relevance I think are well taken. On the other hand, on the really relevant stuff, I think you are dragging your feet and not coming up with counter/alternate proposals. If you say something is too burdensome, then what can you do, that are meaningful?
Besirof: Your Honor . . .
Judge: So, I feel as if, and amidst well taken objections you’re also hiding the ball on what really they should be entitled to, and quickly.
Besirof: May I speak to that, Your Honor?
Judge: Yeah.
Besirof: With regard to Thomas Pitre who is the — this author of the e-mail that the Court is referencing, we have produced on time all of the e-mails that we have processed for Mr. Pitre. It’s 2,865 e-mails. We told the plaintiff “here is everything we have produced to date,” there is this group of
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 18 of 22
sf-1986475 18
tapes — of electronic media, of litigation back-up tapes that we believe might contain some more Thomas Pitre e-mail. In light of what Your Honor said last time we were here on June 21st, we were transparent about the issue. We said there are these tapes, our vendor, our electronic vendor is working on these particular tapes, and we’ve instructed our vendor to work, you know, literally 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with three to five people with the tapes being processed, in constant use. And we told Plaintiffs that in meet-and-confer. And we said not only that, but we have a work-around, that we know that the Company did emergency back-up tapes, disaster recovery back-up tapes that are done very closely in time to the litigation tapes that are at issue. There are 256 of these emergency disaster recovery back-up tapes. We will restore these; we won’t ask for any costs in restoring these because we want you to have these tapes, and we told them that was in process, we were working as fast as we can. In meet-and-confer, the plaintiff said “just give us all the tapes.” Well, these are the tapes of the entire company of every electronic media at this point in time that haven’t been reviewed at all. And we said “no, our vendor is working on it as fast as possible.” We were being transparent about it. In the papers that have been filed with this Court, the statement was made that our vendor — we informed plaintiff that our vendor was slow and we refused to take their suggestion of a vendor who could move quickly. So, this is an instance, Your Honor, where we were transparent. We gave all the facts to plaintiff, we met-and-conferred in gave faith. Plaintiff knows the situation of what’s going on with these tapes.
Harwood: And we made a constructive proposal Your Honor which is that if their vendor is unable to get through these tapes promptly and we have a vendor who can.
Judge: Well, so where is your vendor now on it?
Besirof: The vendor has anticipated today that it will finish cataloging these 256 backup tapes that we gave them about two weeks ago we gave them the tapes. I’m not a technologist, but I’m informed the issue is, with these 256 tapes, it’s kind of like putting a puzzle together, where to catalog them they have to figure out what tape goes where, and it took them about two weeks.
Judge: Well, let me say this, I’ve got people who have been waiting here since 10:00. I think — I don’t have, you know, more time now to go through this with you. Again, I think you need to have a better meet-and-confer. And if you can’t resolve it, have competing declarations of your experts about how long it’s going take, how long it should take, exactly what costs, etc. But, it seems to me that I would agree with the plaintiff that if your expert can’t or vendor can’t get it done quickly in a matter of a few weeks and really give them the information, then maybe it should just be turned over. And I didn’t have time to read Judge Wilkin’s order that you
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 19 of 22
sf-1986475 19
cite about the clawback, etc. But I am the discovery judge here, and I think clawbacks and things of that nature can work, and I don’t see why we couldn’t do it here. So if that’s the problem and holding it all up in terms of the privilege, you know I think we can craft an order that would resolve that. So I don’t know if that’s the problem. But I — you know, the — I’m very concerned that the parties just don’t seem to be able to resolve anything without incredible amounts of assistance from the Court. And I’m trying to set the framework for now, hearing how I look at things, if you can self-police in light of that. That’s what I would like to happen.
Harwood: We will make that effort, Your Honor, there is one point I think we do need to address though before we adjourn.
Judge: Yes.
Harwood: We made a request that an order issue requiring defendants to complete their production in response to our first document demand, which has now been pending for 500 — five-and-a-half months, I’m sorry, five-and-a-half months.
Judge: Right.
Harwood: We requested that they be ordered to complete their production within four weeks from this hearing.
Judge: Right.
Harwood: I do think the defendants need a deadline.
Judge: I think that’s true, and yet I don’t want to set an arbitrary deadline. But I do think there needs to be a deadline. I thought the schedule made progress, and was an improvement but in some places was too vague.
Besirof: Your Honor, I will submit that we will propose a new schedule to plaintiff for the next, let’s say through October 31st. We’ll submit that within one week to them and meet-and-confer in good faith on it.
Judge: Well, I agree with that but, I guess what I think, I think there has got to be some kind of mechanism, and if it gets — maybe some kind of reporting once a week about what you’ve you done, what you’ve produced, an update, not just the schedule but an update. Are you meeting it, what could be advanced, what’s been done, you know quantifying that you’ve met it. I think it’s still too vague. If it gets to the point where you really need somebody to give you advice constantly about the pace of this and how much to spend and so on, I’m going to have to recommend a special master, because I mean, I just don’t have the time. I could do it, but then I can’t do anything else. You probably saw the case right before you, you know, verging on that kind of demand on the Court’s resources . . .
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 20 of 22
sf-1986475 20
Harwood: Yes.
Judge: . . . and that’s two cases. So . . .
Harwood: Well, I think it’s a good idea to have weekly reporting. I still, I’m a little unclear on what Mr. Besirof just offered though. Is October 31 to be the deadline for completing the production in response to the first document demand? Or, is that just a date by which you will give us some undefined amount of material? It just wasn’t clear to me. We had requested four weeks from today, which would be mid-September.
Judge: Yes. Well and they’ve thrown up their hands . . .
Harwood: And they’ve said some time in January.
Judge: . . . and say it would be in what?
Harwood: They said sometime in January 2006, which I think is just too long. That would be ten months.
Judge: Which is basically — and I do find defendants didn’t account for the fact that we’re already been in a lapse of four or five months. So, I mean you kept talking about henceforth, but what’s been going on for those four-and-a-half months?
Besirof: I’d be happy to address what we’ve done since we were last . . .
Judge: Well, I don’t — no. There isn’t time for that now, and it was addressed in your papers, but I mean I think it kept being ignored in the idea that we can’t possibly — but what I’m going to say is, you know, I cannot make a rational decision at this point about what should be produced, when, of that. But I think a very significant amount of the production should be completed within a month and there should be very good reasons why what remains can’t be produced until January. All of it certainly would be done by then, and you should meet and confer and propose a schedule — tighten up the schedule you already have and prove it. Give weekly reports to the plaintiffs that are meaningful, and beyond that I think you have to start, you know — the plaintiffs have to look at you know, I’m not going to just have them engage in, you know, absolute, whatever amounts of — with no reference to the burdensomeness or what makes sense to search. And, on the other hand, they have to start, I think cooperating so it gives you information so if they say we can’t do it this way, but you explain how you can do it.
Harwood: That sounds fair, Your Honor. It’s hard for us to propose how they should search their documents.
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 21 of 22
sf-1986475 21
Judge: Well, that’s right, so I mean I think you have to not just say no, but come up with another way. All right. So, do you want to prepare an order on this?
Harwood: Yes.
Judge: All right. Anything further then?
Besirof: No, Your Honor, thank you.
Judge: Thanks.

NON-PARTY HARRY DEFFEBACH'S OBJECTIONS TO SUBPOENA
sf-1 909665
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 2 of 16
Pursuant to Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, set forth below are HARRY
DEFFEBACH's ("Mr. Deffebach") written objections to the subpoena duces tecurn dated
March 10,2005 by Lead Plaintiff. Mr. Deffebach reserves his right to supplement these
objections as additional information becomes available, to move to quash, or otherwise seek
judicial relief.
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
1. Mr. Deffebach makes the following general objections in addition to the specific
objections to specific document requests, as set forth below. Each of these general objections is
incorporated into and made a part of Mr. Deffebach's response to each and every request set forth
in the subpoena. Mr. Deffebach's objections have special force because they are advanced by a
non-party. See, e.g., Katz v. Batavia Marine & Sporting Supplies, Inc., 984 F.2d 422,424 (Fed.
Cir. 1993).
2. Mr. Deffebach is no longer employed by JDSU, and he therefore has no access to
JDSU property, including files used or maintained in the performance of his former duties for
JDSU.
3. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks
documents that are not relevant to the claim or defense of any party.
4. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it purports to
impose requirements or discovery obligations that exceed those imposed by the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure or any other applicable rule, law, or regulation.
5. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks
documents protected from discovery by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product
doctrine, or any other applicable privilege. If any document protected from discovery by any
privilege is inadvertently revealed, it is not intended to and shall not operate as a waiver of these
objections.
6. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks
documents containing proprietary and confidential business and financial information that
1
sf- 1909665
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 3 of 16
Mr. Deffebach has a duty to protect, including information constituting or pertaining to trade
secrets, personnel information, or competitively sensitive information. Disclosure of such
information would be harmful to legitimate business interests.
7. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks
documents that include information subject to confidentiality agreements with third parties.
8. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks
documents that are not in Mr. Deffebach's possession, custody, or control.
9. Mr. Deffebach objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks
documents in the public domain, equally available from the parties to the litigation, or available
from other sources.
10. Mr. Deffebach objects to the "Definitions," "Relevant Period," and "Instructions"
provided to the extent they are overly broad, unduly burdensome, vague, or ambiguous.
1 1. Mr. Deffebach objects to Definition 2 ("Financial statements") as vague,
ambiguous, and overbroad. Mr. Deffebach also objects to Definition 2 to the extent it seeks
documents that are not in his possession, custody, or control.
12. Mr. Deffebach objects to Definition 7 ("Pitre") as vague and ambiguous with
respect to the phrase "Manager of Demand Manager."
13. Mr. Deffebach objects to Definition 8 ("Pitre E-mail") as vague and ambiguous.
Although the definition recites that the "Pitre E-mail" is "annexed" to Schedule A, Lead Plaintiff
has failed to include an attachment to Schedule A.
14. Mr. Deffebach objects to Definition 11 ("Communication") to the extent it is
broader in scope than the definition provided by applicable rule, law, or regulation.
15. Mr. Deffebach objects to Definition 12 ("Concerning") to the extent that it requires
the application and disclosure of the subjective legal judgment of Mr. Deffebach's attorneys and
would require a conclusion or opinion of counsel in violation of the attorney work product
doctrine.
16. Mr. Deffebach objects to the definition of "Relevant Period" as excessively broad.
Beginning the "Relevant Period" on January 1, 1999, renders each of these requests excessively
2
sf- 1909665
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 4 of 16
broad because the purported class period in this action does not begin until October 28, 1999.
Ending the "Relevant Period" on Mr. Deffebach's response date renders each of these requests
excessively broad because the purported class period ends on July 26,2001. Mr. Deffebach
further objects to the definition of "Relevant Period to the extent that it seeks "all documents
which relate to such period even though prepared, published, sent or received, in whole or in part,
prior or subsequent to this period."
17. Mr. Deffebach objects to Instruction No. 1 to the extent Plaintiff seeks documents
that are not in Mr. Deffebach's possession, custody, or control.
18. Mr. Deffebach objects to Instruction Nos. 2-4 to the extent Plaintiff attempts to
impose obligations on Mr. Deffebach that are not required by applicable law.
19. Mr. Deffebach objects to Instruction No. 5 to the extent that it requires
Mr. Deffebach to provide a privilege log concurrently with these Objections. If required,
Mr. Deffebach will prepare and submit a privilege log after an adequate and reasonable
opportunity to conduct a privilege review. Mr. Deffebach further objects to this Instruction to the
extent that it purports to require information beyond that which is required by Rule 45(d) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or any other applicable rule, law, or regulation.
20. Mr. Deffebach objects to Instruction No. 6 to the extent Lead Plaintiff attempts to
impose obligations on Mr. Deffebach that are not required by applicable law.
21. In light of the time period, scope of requests, and categories of documents,
Mr. Deffebach will incur significant time and expense in searching for, collecting, and making
available the requested documents. As a non-party to the litigation, Mr. Deffebach is entitled to
compensation for these costs.
22. Nothing contained in those general and specific objections constitutes nor should
be construed as an admission or acknowledgment as to the admissibility, materiality, or relevance
of any information sought through this subpoena.
23. Agreeing to produce documents does not mean that responsive documents exist, or
that they are in Mr. Deffebach's possession, custody, or control. It represents only that
3
sf- 1909665
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 5 of 16
Mr. Deffebach will produce responsive documents if he has them, if they can be located with
reasonable diligence, and if they are not otherwise protected from disclosure.
SPECIFIC RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS
In addition to the foregoing General Objections applicable to all requests for production,
each of which is hereby incorporated in all of the following responses, Mr. Deffebach makes the
following specific objections:
REQUEST NO. 1:
All your electronic mail concerning JDS during the Relevant Time Period, including all
electronic mail contained on your home or laptop computer and any electronic mail contained on
any storage device or in storage.
OBJECTIONS TO REQUEST NO. 1:

Mr. Deffebach incorporates his general objections by reference. Mr. Deffebach further
objects to this Request as overbroad and unduly burdensome as it seeks all documents concerning

defenses of any party to this litigation. Mr. Deffebach further objects to this Request to the extent
the Request seeks documents protected by applicable privacy rights. Mr. Deffebach is not a party

Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 2 of 14
Pursuant to Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, set forth below are EITAN
. GERTELYs ("Mr. Gertel") written objections to the subpoena duces tecum dated March 1,2005
by Lead Plaintiff. Mr. Gertel reserves his right to supplement these objections as additional
information becomes available, to move to quash, or otherwise seek judicial relief.
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
1. Mr. Gertel makes the following general objections in addition to the specific
objections to specific document requests, as set forth below. Each of these general objections is
incorporated into and made a part of Mr. Gertel's response to each and every request set forth in
the subpoena. Mr. Gertel's objections have special force because they are advanced by a non-
party. See, e.g., Katz v. Batavia Marine & Sporling Supplies, Inc., 984 F.2d 422, 424 (Fed. Cir.
1 993).
2. Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
that are not relevant to the claim or defense of any party.
3. Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it purports to impose
requirements or discovery obligations that exceed those imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure or any other applicable rule, law, or regulation.
4. Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
protected from discovery by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine, or
any other applicable privilege. If any document protected from discovery by any privilege is
inadvertently revealed, it is not intended to and shall not operate as a waiver of these objections.
5. Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
containing proprietary and confidential business and financial information, including information
constituting or pertaining to trade secrets, personnel information, or competitively sensitive
information. Disclosure of such information would be harmful to Mr. Gertel's legitimate
business interests.
6 . Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
that include information subject to confidentiality agreements with third parties.

Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 3 of 14
7. Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
that are not in Mr. Gertel's possession, custody, or control.
8. Mr. Gertel objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
in the public domain, equally available from the parties to the litigation, or available from other
sources.
9. Mr. Gertel objects to the "Definitions," "Relevant Period," and "Instructions"
provided to the extent they are overly broad, unduly burdensome, vague, or ambiguous.
10. Mr. Gertel objects to Definition 1 ("Financial statements") as vague, ambiguous,
and overbroad. Mr. Gertel has no obligation to search for or produce documents that are not in
his possession, custody, or control.
1 1 . Mr. Gertel objects to Definition 9 ("Communication'") to the extent it is broader in
scope than the definition provided by applicable rule, law, or regulation.
12. Mr. Gertel objects to Definition 10 ("Concerning") to the extent that it requires the
application and disclosure of the subjective legal judgment of Mr. Gertel's attorneys and would
require a conclusion or opinion of counsel in violation of the attorney work product doctrine.
13. Mr. Gertel objects to the definition of "Relevant Period" as excessively broad.
Beginning the "Relevant Period" on January 1, 1999, renders each of these requests excessively
broad because the class period in this action does not begin until October 28, 1999.
Ending the "Relevant Period" on Mr. Gertel's response date renders each of these requests
excessively broad because the purported class period ends on July 26,2001. Mr. Gertel further
objects to the definition of "Relevant Period" to the extent that it seeks "all documents which
relate to such period even though prepared, published, sent or received, in whole or in part, prior
or subsequent to this period."
14. Mr. Gertel objects to Plaintiffs instruction that the Request "is continuous."
Mr. Gertel is a non-party and objects to any obligation seeking to impose a duty to produce
documents in perpetuity under Rule 26(e).
15. Mr. Gertel objects to Instruction No. 1 to the extent Plaintiff seeks documents that
are not in Mr. Gertel's possession, custody, or control.

Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 4 of 14
16. Mr. Gertel objects to Instruction Nos. 2-4 to the extent Plaintiff attempts to impose
obligations on Mr. Gertel that are not required by applicable law.
17. Mr. Gertel objects to Instruction No. 5 to the extent that it requires Mr. Gertel to
provide a privilege log concurrently with these Objections. If required, Mr. Gertel will prepare
and submit a privilege log after an adequate and reasonable opportunity to conduct a privilege
review. Mr. Gertel further objects to this Instruction to the extent that it purports to require
information beyond that which is required by Rule 45(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
or any other applicable rule, law, or regulation.
18. Mr. Gertel objects to Instructions Nos. 6-7 to the extent Plaintiff attempts to
impose obligations on Mr. Gertel that are not required by applicable law.
19. In light of the time period, scope of requests, and categories of documents,
Mr. Gertel will incur significant time and expense in searching for, collecting, and making I
1 available the requested documents. As a non-party to the litigation, Mr. Gertel is entitled to
I compensation for these costs.
1 20. Nothing contained in those general and specific objections constitutes nor should
I be construed as an admission or acknowledgment as to the admissibility, materiality, or relevance
, of any information sought through this subpoena.

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
OAKLAND DIVISION
In re JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION SECURITIES LITIGATION
This Document Relates to: All Actions
I Master File N o C-02-1486 CW
NON-PARTY MICHAEL PHILLIPS'S OBJECTIONS TO SUBPOENA
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 2 of 16
Pursuant to Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, set forth below are
MICHAEL PHILLIPS'S ("Mr. Phillips") written objections to the subpoena duces tecum dated
1 March 2,2005 by Lead Plaintiff. Mr. Phillips reserves his right to supplement these objections as
1 additional information becomes available, to move to quash, or otherwise seek judicial relief.
I GENERAL OBJECTIONS
1. Mr. Phillips makes the following general objections in addition to the specific I
objections to specific document requests, as set forth below. Each of these general objections is
I incorporated into and made a part of Mr. Phillips's response to each and every request set forth in
I the subpoena. Mr. Phillips's objections have special force because they are advanced by a non-
party. See, e.g., Katz v. Batavia Marine & Sporting Supplies, Inc., 984 F.2d 422,424 (Fed. Cir.
1993). I
2. Mr. Phillips is no longer employed by JDSU, and he therefore has no access to
JDSU property, including files used or maintained in the performance of his former duties for
JDSU.
3. Mr. Phillips served as the General Counsel of JDSU. Accordingly, there is a high
likelihood that the requested documents are protected from disclosure by applicable privilege.
Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents protected from
discovery by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine, or any other
applicable privilege. If any document protected from discovery by any privilege is inadvertently
revealed, it is not intended to and shall not operate as a waiver of these objections.
4. Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
that are not relevant to the claim or defense of any party.
5 . Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it purports to
impose requirements or discovery obligations that exceed those imposed by the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure or any other applicable rule, law, or regulation.
6. Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
containing proprietary and confidential business and financial information that Mr. Phillips has a
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 3 of 16
duty to protect, including information constituting or pertaining to trade secrets, personnel
information, or competitively sensitive information. Disclosure of such information would be
/ harmful to legitimate business interests.
1 7. Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
1 that include information subject to confidentiality agreements with third parties.
~ 8. Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents
that are not in Mr. Phillips's possession, custody, or control.
9. Mr. Phillips objects to each and every request to the extent that it seeks documents I
in the public domain, equally available from the parties to the litigation, or available from other I
sources.
I 10. Mr. Phillips objects to the "Definitions," "Relevant Period," and "Instructions7'
provided to the extent they are overly broad, unduly burdensome, vague, or ambiguous.
11. Mr. Phillips objects to Definition 2 ("Financial statements") as vague, ambiguous,
and overbroad. Mr. Phillips also objects to Definition 2 to the extent it seeks documents that are
not in his possession, custody, or control.
12. Mr. Phillips objects to Definition 7 ("Pitre") as vague and ambiguous with respect
to the phrase "Manager of Demand Manager."
13. Mr. Phillips objects to Definition 8 ("Pitre E-mail") as vague and ambiguous.
Although the definition recites that the "Pitre E-mail" is "annexed" to Schedule A, Lead Plaintiff
has failed to include an attachment to Schedule A.
14. Mr. Phillips objects to Definition 1 1 ("Communication") to the extent it is broader
in scope than the definition provided by applicable rule, law, or regulation.
15. Mr. Phillips objects to Definition 12 ("Concerning") to the extent that it requires
the application and disclosure of the subjective legal judgment of Mr. Phillips's attorneys and
would require a conclusion or opinion of counsel in violation of the attorney work product
doctrine.
16. Mr. Phillips objects to the definition of "Relevant Period" as excessively broad.
Beginning the "Relevant Period" on January 1, 1999, renders each of these requests excessively
2
sf- 190965 1
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 4 of 16
broad because the purported class period in this action does not begin until October 28, 1999.
Ending the "Relevant Period" on Mr. Phillips's response date renders each of these requests
excessively broad because the purported class period ends on July 26,2001. Mr. Phillips further
objects to the definition of "Relevant Period" to the extent that it seeks "all documents which
relate to such period even though prepared, published, sent or received, in whole or in part, prior
or subsequent to this period."
17. Mr. Phillips objects to Instruction No. 1 to the extent Plaintiff seeks documents
that are not in Mr. Phillips's possession, custody, or control. ~
18. Mr. Phillips objects to Instruction Nos. 2-4 to the extent Plaintiff attempts to
impose obligations on Mr. Phillips that are not required by applicable law.
19. Mr. Phillips objects to Instruction No. 5 to the extent that it requires Mr. Phillips to
provide a privilege log concurrently with these Objections. If required, Mr. Phillips will prepare
and submit a privilege log after an adequate and reasonable opportunity to conduct a privilege
review. Mr. Phillips further objects to this Instruction to the extent that it purports to require
information beyond that which is required by Rule 45(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
or any other applicable rule, law, or regulation.
20. Mr. Phillips objects to Instruction No. 6 to the extent Lead Plaintiff attempts to
impose obligations on Mr. Phillips that are not required by applicable law.
21. In light of the time period, scope of requests, and categories of documents,
Mr. Phillips will incur significant time and expense in searching for, collecting, and making
available the requested documents. As a non-party to the litigation, Mr. Phillips is entitled to
compensation for these costs.
22. Nothing contained in those general and specific objections constitutes nor should
be construed as an admission or acknowledgment as to the admissibility, materiality, or relevance
of any information sought through this subpoena.
23. Agreeing to produce documents does not mean that responsive documents exist, or
that they are in Mr. Phillips's possession, custody, or control. It represents only that Mr. Phillips
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 780 Filed 12/29/2006 Page 5 of 16
will produce responsive documents if he has them, if they can be located with reasonable
diligence, and if they are not otherwise protected fiom disclosure.

time period) can be resolved, Mr. Phillips agrees to produce documents that discuss JDSU's

Re: In re JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation
Dear HoIly:
I write to respond to your March 1,2006 letter and to address a number of other outstanding issues with respect to the subpoenas issued to your non-party clients.
Donald Scifres
During the meet and confer process, Mr. Scifres agreed to provide a declaration verifying the trading information contained in any Form 4's he may have filed with the SEC concerning his transactions in D S U securities. 1Mr. Scifres agreed to produce the
.
declaration in response to Request 8, which sought all documents relating to Mr. Scifres transactions in JDSU securities. Lead Plaintiff requests that Mr. Scifres produce the agreed upon declaration by March 31,2006.
In your letter to Chris Heffelfmger dated August 31,2005, you stated that Mr. Scifres "has no additional documents in his possession, custody, or control that are responsive to the Requests as narrowed by our meet and confer." During the meet and confer process, Lead Plaintiff had agreed not to pursue Requests 5,6 and 13 at that time. Please clarify whether your August 31 representation that Mr. Scifres bas no further responsive documents was intended to apply to Requests 5 , 6 and 13. If Mr. Scifres does in fact have documents responsive to those requests, Lead Plaintiff now demands the production of those documents, with the understanding that we seek those documents only to the extent they touch on the matters raised in the Complaint.

Holly H. Tambling, Esq. March 17,2006 Page 2 of 3
Harrv Deffebach and Michael PMlli~s
During the meet and confer process, Messrs. Deffebach and Phillips expressed a willingness to provide, in response to Requests 5 and 6, a declaration verifying the trading information contained in any Form 4's they may have filed with the SEC concerning their transactions in TDSU securities. Lead Plaintiff requests that Messxs. Deffebach and Phillips produce such declarations by March 3 1,2006.
Also during the meet and confer process, we agreed to postpone the discussion of Request 10, which seeks documents concerning the "Redbook" and related matters, pending resolution of Lead Plaintiff's motion to compel the production of similar documents from Defendants. As you may know, the Court ruled on the motion to compel in September 2005, ordering Defendants to produce "emails sent to and received by Thomas Pitre (the 'Pitre ernaiIs'), and the Redbook team (the 'Redbook emails') and those individuals on the OPSS Distribution list ('OPSS emails')." September 7,2005 Order Re: Lead Plaintiff's Motion to Compel at 2. In light of the Court's Order, Lead Plaintiff requests that Messrs. Deffebach and Phillips produce documents responsive to Request 10 to the same extent as Defendants were ordered to produce them by the September Order. Lead Plaintiff is mindful of the fact that you stated in your letter to me dated March 1,2006 that Mr. Deffebach "has no documents in his possession, custody, or control that are responsive to the Requests as narrowed by our meet and confer." If you intended this representation to appIy to Request 10, such that Mr. Deffebach has no documents responsive to the Request, please confirm that in writing. AIso, please confirm in writing that Mr. PhiIlips has completed the production of aIl documents he agreed to produce.
Eitan Gertel, Anthony Musto. Pad Suchoski and David Renner
As you noted in your March 1,2006 letter, Lead Plaintiff has had under advisement Requests 4 (Gertel3), 5,6 (not in Renne~ subpoena), 8 (Renner 7) and 10 (Remer 9). With respect to Requests 4 (Gertel3), 5,6 (not in Renner subpoena) and 10 (Renner 9), Lead Plaintiff now seeks those documents only to the extent they touch on the matters raised in the Complaint. With respect to Request 8 (Renner 7), Lead Plaintiff seeks only those documents that concern transactions in JDSU securities prompted by or otherwise connected to communications with any Defendant or other JDSU employee.
You also stated in your March I letter that I asked you to proceed to search for documents responsive to requests Nos. 2,3 (Gertel No. 4), and 9 (Renner No. 8). That is a mischaracterization of our communications. Indeed, you agreed to search for documents responsive to those requests months ago, as confirmed in your October 26,2005 letter. I

Re: In re JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation
Dear Joe:
I write to respond to your March 17,2006 letter.
Dr. Scifres
Dr. Scifies has agreed to provide a declaration confirming the trading information contained in any Fonn 4 he may have filed with the SEC as an officer of JDSU during the relevant period as narrowed by our meet and confer. You asked that Dr. Scifles provide this declaration by March 3 1,2006. As you know, the last weeks we have been busy with the JDSU Defendants' mediation brief, traveling to and attending the mediation in New York as well as the Company's continued document production. Given these events, we have not yet had a chance to contact Dr. Scifres regarding the declaration. We will contact Dr. Scifies regarding his schedule and get back to you regarding a proposed date for providing the declaration.
You have also requested that Dr. Scifies produce documents responsive to Requests 5 (personnel file), 6 (exit interviews), and 13 (performance evaluation) to the extent those documents ''touch on the matters raised in the Complaint." See March 17,2006 Letter fiom J. Merschman to H. Tambling at 1. Dr. Scifres has no documents responsive to these Requests. Please note that by providing this information neither Dr. Scifies nor his counseI is in any way agreeing that your proposed narrowing of Requests 5,6, or 13 is appropriate and is in no way waiving any objections to these Requests.

Thc limited volbme of documcnts these individuals will likcly h v e in thek pcrsonal possession chat aw rcxponsivc to the requests, if nay, elimillates any Lnsis for an objection bnscd on burden.

The wimesses object to questions ox documcnt requests conccming facts sought by JDSU's requests fnt admissions served on August 30,2006 on the basis rhac Connecticut degedly failed to timely servc its rasponscs, which it did not. We disagrcc that J1X1J's requests havc been conclusivdy esrablishcd an that basis, especially in light of the fact that I>cfcti&nts panted Connecucut an extension to scrvc its rcvponscs and chen subscqucndy reneged on that agreement on thc eve of the due drite.
Each request is objected to un the basis that it is overbroad and unduly burdefisome, among orha objections. Again, rhc limitd volume of documcnts these individuals Iikdy will have in personal possession, i f any, c~lls into question any burden concerns.

Re: In re JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation, Master File No. 02-1486 CW @DL)
Dear Tony:
I write M e r to our December 7 meet-and-confer session. This letter begips by addressing items included on Plaintiffs' agenda, before turning to the discovery issues raised by JDSU.
Issues Raised BY Plaintiffs
The Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition of Cisco Systems. Mark Labaton informed us that Plaintiffs have scheduled a meet-and-confer teleconference with counsel for Cisco to discuss Plaintiffs' contention that Cisco's 30(b)(6) witness was inadequate. Plaintiffs promised to keep us informed about the outcome of that discussion. As I stated during the cdI, until Plaintiffs' negotiations with Cisco have completed, it is premature for SDSU to take a position on whether or not to oppose another deposition of Cisco now that the deadline for deposition discovery has passed. You acknowledged that Plaintiffs would not, in any event, agree to a date certain for another deposition of Cisco without meeting-and-conferring with defendants first.
J q Abbe 's Notebooks and Calendar. As Terri Garland explained to you in an email before our call, if Mr. Abbe's notebooks were possessed by the Company at the time this lawsuit was filed, those notebooks were made available to Plaintiffs for inspection and copying. During the call, we again confirmed that we are not aware of a Bates range that corresponds to Mr. Abbe's notebooks (assuming they even exist).
As for Mr. Abbe's calendar, you suggested that Plaintiffs might provide us with a list of Mr. Abbe's calendar entries that Plaintiffs have located .in JDSU's document production. We

M O R R I S O N POERSTER
Anthony J. Harwood, Esq. December 1 1,2006 Page Two
agreed to then run an electmnic search to see if that search identified any additional entries fiom Mr. Abbe's calendar that were not identified by Plaintiffs.
Account Statements of Messrs. Abbe, Muller, and Straus. You stated that Plaintiffs seek statements for accounts controlled by Messrs. Abbe, MuIler, and Straus to verify their transactions in JDSU securities during the Class Period: You also stated that if those statements revealed trades that were not publicly-discIosed and of which Plaintiffs were unaware at the time they deposed those defendants, that Plaintiffs reserved the right to seek to re-convene those depositions to inquire about what Messrs. Abbe, Muller, and Straus knew about JDSU's business at the time of those additional transactions.
As set forth in my December 8 letter, although we continue to dispute Plaintiffs' need for this information, we agree to produce appropriately-redacted versions of all available statements fiom the accounts controlled by Messrs. Abbe, Muller, and Straus that reflect transactions in JDSU securities during the Class Period. We will produce those documents this week. As you will see from reviewing those statements, all of the transactions contained in them are revealed on the Forms 4 filed on behalf of Messrs. Abbe, Muller, and Straus. Accordingly, as acknowledged during yesterday's call, there is no basis for Plaintiffs to seek additional testimony fiom those defendants.
Reconvening the Deposition of Maurice Tavares. You stated that in the event Mr. Tavares will be a witness at trial in this case, Plaintiffs may seek to reconvene his deposition to question him about certain entries fiom the journal that was produced prior to his November 3,2006 deposition. Although you were unprepared to state whether Plaintiffs would be willing to identify particular entries fkom that journal that warranted firher questioning, you stated that you would check with Barbara Hart on that issue. In the meantime, we agreed to contact Mr. Tavares to determine whether he would be wiIling to voluntarily make himself available to sit again for deposition questions related to the journal. Given the impending motion cut-off date, however, Plaintiffs should proceed with their motion to compel on this issue if they intend to bring one.
Production of Data From JDSU's Legacy ERP Databases. The parties are currently engaged in negotiations on this issue and wish to have the meet-and-confer process run its course. Accordingly, the parties agreed to extend the deadline for Plaintiffs to file a motion to compel production of such data by one week (to December 19,2006, with that motion to be briefed on a standard 35-day schedule), should those negotiations reach an impasse.
Confidential Witness Statements in JDSU1s Possession. For the reasons set forth in my letter of November 7,2006, any declarations that JDSU has obtained from confidential witnesses are protected from disclosure as attorney work product until filed with the Court. Accordingly, JDSU does not agree to produce any such statements.

M O R R I S O N F O E R S T E R
Anthony J. H ~ o o d , Esq. December 1 1,2006 Page Three
As stated on the call, JDSU is in possession of email correspondence fiom various confidential witnesses. Those communications primarily consist of exchanges regarding meeting times and the like. We agreed to produce emails fiom those Confidential Witnesses and anticipate making that production within 10 days.
We also confiied that JDSU does not possess any interview memoranda for the Confidential Witnesses, nor does JDSU possess verbatim statements for any other witnesses.
Issues Raised bv JDSU
JDSUJs Second Request for Production. As noted during the call (and at certain depositions), Plaintiffs used transcripts and audio recordings as exhibits during depositions that they had not produced, even though those transcripts and recordings are responsive to JDSU's document requests. Plaintiffs agreed to produce, by Thursday, December 14, any such transcript or recording that Plaintiffs have not produced previously. JDSU reserved the right to move to compel on this issue should .Plaintiffs fail to properly produce such transcripts and recordings by December 14.
We received your December 8 letter stating that Plaintiffs will make the envelope in which they received the Pitre email available for inspection at Labaton's offices in New York on a mutually convenient date. We will contact you this week to asrange a time for that inspection.
Plaintiffs' Responses to Anthony Muller 's Interrogatories. ' The parties agreed that they previously had satisfied their meet-and-confer obligations on this issue and had reached an impasse.
Plaintws Responses to Jozef Straus 's Interrogatories. The parties discussed Plaintiffs' .
response to interrogatory No. 13 because it had not been the subject of prior meet-and-confer discussions. JDSU explained that Plaintiffs' response was deficient because it failed to 'identify the factual basis for Plaintiffs' contention that they suffered a loss related to the "management7' of earnings. You agreed that Plaintiffs will inform us by the close of business on December 11 whether they intend to supplement their response to Interrogatory No. 13.
In addition, given Judge Laporte's November 29,2006 Order, we urged Plaintiffs to reconsider their position that supplemental responses are not required to the remainder of Dr. Straus's interrogatories. The parties met and conferred regarding the sufficiency of those responses on November 9. We propose that Plaintiffs supplement their responses by December 29. Please advise by December 15 whether Plaintiffs intend to supplement those responses. As we discussed, if the parties subsequently reach an impasse with respect to any of Plaintiffs' responses to Dr. Straus's intenogatories, we will propose a reasonable briefing

schedule for Dr. Straus to move to compel appropriate supplemental responses, as contemplated by the Court's November 29,2006 Order.
Plaintifs ' Responses to Jay Abbe's Interrogatories. Thank you.for confirming that Plaintiffs are not withholding information pursuant to General Objections 3,4, 8, or 10.
For the reasons stated during our call, Plaintiffs' responses to the following interrogatories are deficient: Nos. 2,4-7, 10-1 1,13, 15, and 17-20. We propose that Plaintiffs supplement their responses by December 29. Please advise by December 15 whether Plaintiffs intend to supplement those responses. As we discussed, if the parties subsequently reach an impasse with respect to any of Plaintiffs' responses to Mr. Abbe's interrogatories, we will propose a reasonable briefing schedule for Mr. Abbe to move to compel appropriate supplemental responses, as contemplated by the Court's November 29,2006 Order.
In addition, I note that Plaintiffs' discovery responses, including (as just one example) Plaintiffs' response to interrogatory No. 20, continue to cite to documents produced from the files of Ernst & Young by using Plaintiffs' internal control numbers. Plaintiffs should provide us with appropriate citations for d l documents produced by Ernst & Young that are relied upon in any of Plaintiffs' discovery responses by no later than December 15. ,
Plaintrfs' Responses to JDSU's Requests for Admissions. For the reasons set forth during our conference, Plaintiffs' responses to the following requests aie deficient: Nos. 2, l&l5, 2~25,37-52,54-56,58-73,76-77,81-98,100,102-136,141-144, and 146156. Please confirm that Plaintiffs will provide a suppIemental .response to RFA No. 38 by December 13, and to the remaining WAS discussed during our call by December 20,2006, in accordance with the terms of the Court's November 29,2006 Order..
In addition, to the extent that the parties reach an impasse with respect to Plaintiffs' supplemental responses to JDSU's RFAs, we are hopeful that the parties will be able to agree upon a reasonable briefing schedule for JDSU to move to compel appropriate supplemental responses, as contemplated by the Court's November 29,2006 Order.
Vertjcations. Plaintiffs agreed to provide verifications to their discovery responses that are currently unverified. Michael Stocker's December 8 letter confirms Plaintiffs will do so within the next two weeks.

Expert Reports. During the call, JDSU expressed its concern that the number of open discovery items would result in Plaintiffs seeking to file supplemental expert reports after the current January deadline. If that is l h l y to be the case, JDSU would prefer to negotiate a new deadline for the reports now, in the hope of avoiding the inefficiencies associated with a supplemental round of reports later. On December 8, Plaintiffs confirmed their interest in pursuing this issue and JDSU provided a proposed alternative schedule.

Pursuant to my letters of December 8 and 11 , 2006 , enclosed find the relevant pages from all
available statements for the accounts cont ro lled by Messrs . Abbe, Muller, and Straus that
reflect transactions in JDSU securities during the Class Pe riod. The statements are labeled
JDSU 3107157-348 .
We note the following with respect to this production :
1 . The statements have been redacted to reflect only transactions in or holdings of JDSUsecurities during the Class Period.
2. As you wi ll see, the statements reveal no transactions in JDSU securities that were not
known by or available to Plaintiffs at the time that these defendants were deposed .
Accordingly , as acknowledged during our December 7 meet-and-confer call, and as
confirmed in my December 8 le tter, there is no basis for Plaintiffs to seek additionaltestimony from these defendants .
3. Some of the statements include dates for either (or both) the trade and settlement of thetransactions at issue. Accordingly, they may reflect dates that differ slightly from thedates reflected on the publicly-available Forms 4 .
4. Due to stock splits that occurred in December 1999 and March 2000, certain accountstatements reflect "transactions" that were simply journal entries to effectuate or reflectthe stock splits .

Re: In re JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation, Master File No. 02- 1486 CW (EDL)
Dear Tony:
I write in response to your November 7 letter regarding Plaintiffs' request for the production of Confidential Witness statements in JDSU's possession. To the extent JDSU has any such statements, they are protected from disclosure by the attorney work product doctrine until the moment that JDSU decides to file them, if at all, with the Court. See, e.g., Intel Corp. v. VIA Technologies, Inc., 204 F.R.D. 450,452 (N.D. Cal. 2001).
Moreover, Plaintiffs cannot argue that they were ignorant as to the existence of those witnesses. In fact it was Plaintiffs who disclosed the Confidential Witnesses to JDSU in their Rule 26 initial disclosures. As the Court stated in Intel,
[Wlhen a fact witness is disclosed, all parties are on notice that tfie disclosing side contends the witness has relevant knowledge, All are thus on notice that the disclosing side may well have interviewed the witness and may have even obtained a statement. That would be normal practice. Disclosing that fact would only disclose what should be presumed by prudent counsel. All parties arepee to contact the fact witness and obtain their own statements.
Id. (emphasis added.)
As you are aware, many months ago JDSU requested notes of the statements made by Confidential Witnesses to Plaintiffs' counsel and investigators. Plaintiffs have refused to discIose those statements, maintaining that they are privileged. Do Plaintiffs now contend

that JDSU is in fact entitled to the notes of those Confidential Witness statements? If so, please advise us so that JDSU may consider our position regarding any Confidential Witness statements in its possession.
Very truly yours,
