I, PHILIP T. BESIROF, declare as follows:
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and am admitted
to practice before this Court. I am a partner with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP,
counsel of record in this action for Defendants JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”), Jozef
Straus, Anthony Muller, and Charles J. Abbe (collectively, the “JDSU Defendants”). I submit
this Declaration in Support of JDSU Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Opposition to
Plaintiffs’ Motion for Extension of Discovery Period to Conduct Depositions. If called as a
witness, I would testify to the following facts:
2. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of the email exchange between
Dorothy Fernandez and John Adams, scheduling Scott Parker’s deposition.
3. In October and November 2005, JDSU produced documents identifying
potentially-relevant Nortel employees, namely, Tom Dorval, Ken Bradley, Cinzia Cuneo, and
Dave Hudson. In addition, on November 16, 2005, JDSU produced a memorandum from Jozef
Straus to Maurice Tavares regarding Nortel and Ms. Cuneo.
4. Attached as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of a September 22, 2006 letter
from Philip Besirof to Anthony Harwood.
5. On March 1, 2005, Plaintiffs served JDSU with their first set of requests for
production of documents.
6. On April 5, 2005, JDSU timely served its response to the requests. In its response
(3:24-4:12), JDSU identified the specific files from which it would produce documents:
Except as otherwise specified in response to a particular request, the JDSU Defendants will search for documents in: (1) the central files of the finance, legal, sales, public relations, investor relations, and human resources departments in [the San Jose and Ottawa] facilities; (2) files maintained by or on behalf of Dr. Straus, Mr. Muller, and Mr. Abbe; and (3) any files maintained at JDSU facilities by, or on behalf of, Charles J. Abbe, Keith Bisbee, Donald Bossi, Frank Brofft, Becky Browne, Remi Brunka, Ashok Chandran, Jeff Chase, Dan Clayton, Zita Cobb, Tom Conway, Phil Cracco, Bruce Day, Harry Deffebach, Kerry Dehority, Greg Dougherty, Robert Enos, Steve Fife, Mike Foster, David Fox, Eitan Gertel, Bryan Guckavan, Peter Guglielmi, Jessica Huynh, Joseph Ip, Russ Johnson, Kevin Kalkhoven, Leo Lefebvre, Fred Leonberger, John MacNaughton, Joseph Major, Barbara Mayo, Peter Moore, Steven Moore, Anthony Muller, John Murphy, Scott

Parker, Leo Paoletti, Joe Passarello, Dan Pettit, Michael Phillips, Shelley Pietrusiak, Thomas Pitre, Charles Ragussa, Eric Rasmussen, David Renner, Alison Reynders, Trevor Roots, Donald Scifres, Wilson Sibbett, William Sinclair, Casimir Skrzypczak, Nancy Smith (Klaus), Mark Sobey, Jozef Straus, Sanjay Subhedar, Henry Tang, Maurice Tavares, Scott Tave, Anna Vo-Luong, David Wilson, Alfred Wu, and Joseph Zils (and their personal or executive assistants).
Attached as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct copy of JDSU’s Response to Plaintiffs First Request
for Production of Documents, served on April 4, 2005.
7. JDSU further stated that it would construe “JDS” to mean “JDS Uniphase
Corporation and its current officers, directors, and employees.” (See Ex. 3 at 2:26-28.)
8. The parties had many meet-and-confer discussions regarding the specific files that
JDSU would search in response to Plaintiffs’ request. Through meeting and conferring, JDSU
agreed to search the files of certain persons in addition to those identified in paragraph 6, above.
At no time did JDSU agree to produce documents voluntarily from the files of its non-party
outside law firms.
9. Despite knowing since April 5, 2005 that JDSU would not be producing
documents from the files of its non-party law firms, Plaintiffs waited until early July 2006 to
raise the issue with JDSU, and waited even later to serve their subpoenas on the non-party law
firms.
10. On July 19, 2006, Plaintiffs served a subpoena on Wilson Sonsini. On August 1,
Plaintiffs served subpoenas on Morrison & Foerster, Collette & Erickson, and Sullivan &
Cromwell.
11. The non-party law firms informed Plaintiffs that certain categories of documents
would have limited relevance, as they focus largely on unrelated business issues. Plaintiffs
nevertheless insisted on the production.
12. The non-party law firms began collecting, reviewing, and producing documents on
a rolling basis as quickly as possible, consistent with the scope of the task. Plaintiffs received
privilege logs within thirty days of each production.

13. Through a number of meet-and-confer calls and correspondence starting on
September 11, 2006, Plaintiffs’ counsel were apprised of the production schedule and were
informed immediately of any deviations thereto. Plaintiffs’ counsel did not object to the proposed
production schedule.
14. On October 25, 2006, Leo Lefebvre was deposed. One day before that deposition,
Mr. Lefebvre produced a publicly-available 102-page report. Attached as Exhibit 4 is a true and
correct copy of the October 24, 2006 email from Timothy Blakely to Anthony Harwood attaching
the report.
15. On February 10, 2006, JDSU made the same report available to Plaintiffs, bearing
Bates number JDSU 1662647-749. Attached as Exhibit 5 is a true and correct copy of the
February 10, 2006 letter from Philip Besirof to Anthony Howard.
16. On November 17, 2006, Jeff Chase was deposed. Two days before that
deposition, Mr. Chase provided potentially-relevant documents to his counsel. In response,
Mr. Chase’s counsel asked Plaintiffs if they would prefer to postpone Mr. Chase’s deposition.
17. Plaintiffs opted to proceed with Mr. Chase’s deposition on November 17, and
Mr. Chase produced documents that same day. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs finished the deposition
early without asking any questions about the produced documents.
18. Since as early as August 1, 2005, JDSU offered to run queries through its legacy
ERP system for data to which Plaintiffs believed they were entitled. Attached as Exhibit 6 is a
true and correct copy of the August 1, 2005 letter from Terri Garland to Barbara Hart. Plaintiffs
refused to provide queries.
19. On June 14, 2006, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer with their
respective experts about the ERP system so that Plaintiffs could formulate queries.
20. JDSU again met with Plaintiffs multiple times about the legacy ERP systems over
the course of many months and provided Plaintiffs with all requested information about those
systems.
21. On November 7, after many months of JDSU’s efforts to provide Plaintiffs
information about the systems so that they might formulate queries — and more than a month

after the deadline for document discovery — Plaintiffs determined they would not query the
legacy ERP systems for responsive information and instead demanded that JDSU produce all of
the databases. Attached as Exhibit 7 is a true and correct copy of the November 7, 2006 letter
from John Adams to Timothy Blakely.
22. Despite the set-back, JDSU continues to negotiate in good faith and have met and
conferred with Plaintiffs as recently as November 29, 2006.
23. Attached as Exhibit 8 is a true and correct copy of the November 7, 2006 letter
from Philip Besirof to Anthony Harwood.
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 in San Francisco, California,
on this 30th day of November 2006.

documents will be produced in response to the Requests only upon en try of a suitable
protective order, unless other, mutually acceptable Protections are negotiated among counsel .
4. The JDSU Defendants object to the Requests to the extent that they call for
discloun of information about individuals where such disclosure would violate th e
individual's privacy rights.
5. The JDSU Defendants object to each of the Requests to the extent it seeks
materials equally available to Lead Plaintiff through public sources or records .
6. The JUSU Defendants object to the definition of"E&Y" as vague, ambiguous,
and overbroad. The JDSU Defendants will construe "E&Y" to mean its outside auditors at
Ernst & Young LLP.
7_ The JDSU Defendants object to the definition of "Financial statements " as vague
and ambiguous. The JDSU Defendants further object to the definition as overbroad an d
unduly burdensome to the extent that it purports to impose on the JDSU Defendants a n
obligation to search for documents outside JDSU 's possession , custody, or control.
8. The JDSU Defendants object to the definition of "Working papers' and "work
papers" as vague and ambiguous. The JDSU Defendants further object to the defini tion as

Defendants .an obligation to search for documents outside JDSU's possession, custody, o r

11 _ 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 imposed by the Federal . Rules ofCivi l
Procedure.
12. The JDSU Defendants object to the Requests, including each Definition an d
Instruction, to the extent that they purport to impose upon the JDSU Defendants an
obligation to identify and produce documents not otherwise contained in files maintained by
the JDSU Defendants, or require the JDSU Defendants to search for and produce documents
not in their own possession, custody, or control
13. The JDSU Defendants object to Instruc tion No. 5 to the extent that it imposes on
the JDSU Defendants an obligation to furnish Lead Plaintiff with a privilege log that contains
more information than required by applicable law. To the extent that a Request on its face
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 to
search for and produce virtually every document in their possession relating to JDSU during
the period January 1, 1999, to April 4, 2005, even though the vast. majority of such
documents have no bearing on this case . Moreover, JDSU employs thousands of persons
who work in locations throughout North America and abroad. . Requiring the JDSU
Defendants to s=-ch all facilities and: the files of all employees is unduly burdensome and
harassiing. It would be a practical impossibility even to assemble all of the documents that
might be filed for by the Requests. Thus, for the time being, and without prejudice to Lead
Plaintiffs ability to seek additional documents from other locations later, the JDSU
Defendants will search for documents at JDSU's facilities in San Jose and Ottawa . Except as
otherwise specified in response to a particular request , the JDSU Defendants will search for
documents in: (1) the central files of the . finance, legal, sales, public relations , investor
relations, and human resources departments in those facilities ; (2) files maintained by or on
behalf of Dr. Straus, Mr. Muller, and Mr. Abbe; and (3 ) any files maintained at-DSU

reasonable steps to locate and search any JDSU files that were maintained at M)SU by these
individuals, or on their behalf, during their employment with JDSU .
15 . The JDSCJ Defendants object to the "Relevant Period" demanded by .Plairrtiffas
overbroad and not relevant to the subject matter of this action . To the extent that the JDSU
Defendants agree to produce documents in response to any of the Requests, they agree to
produce documents (1) dated April 1, 1999, to July 26, 2001 ; and (2) dated July 27, 2001, to
September .30, 2001, to the extent that : such . documents discuss the JDSU Defendants'
activities during the purported Class Period.
16. The JDSU Defendants have not completed their investigation of the facts of this cas e
or their preparation for trial. The JDSU Defendants respond to this set of Requests. based on
information currently known to them and reserve the right to supplement, modify, and amend
their responses and assert additional objections should the JDSU Defendants discover additional
facts, documents, or other evidence at a later time. The JDSU Defendants further reserve the
right to make use of any subsequently discovered facts, documents, or other evidence at any
hearing or at trial. -

17 . Where the JIDSU Defendants state that they will produce documents, this does not
mean that responsive documents exist . It represents only that responsive documents will be
produced if they exist, can be located with reasonable diligence, and are not otherwise protected
from disclosure .
18 . By producing documents, the JDSU Defendants do not concede the relevance or
materiality of the Request or its subject matter. The JDSU Defendants' responses and production
of documents are made subject to all objections as to competency, relevance, materiality,
privilege, and admissibi lity as evidence for any purpose in this action .
19. The JDSU Defendants state these objections without waiving or intending to
waive , but on the contrary preserving and inuring to preserve :
(a) all objections to competency , re levance, materiality , privilege, and
admissibility as evidence for any purpose of the responses to the Requests, the documents
produced, or the subject matter thereof, in any subsequent proceeding in, or the trial of, this o r
any other action;
(b) the right to object on any ground to the use of any of these responses, the
documents produced, or the subject matter thereof, in any subsequent proceeding in, or the tria l
of, this or any other action; and
(c) the right to object on any ground to any other or future discovery requests .
The JDSU Defendants object to the time and place specified for production as unduly
burdensome given the broad scope of these Regt ts, and the large volume of documents
requested. Documents will be produced at a date and time to be mutually agreed upon by
counsel .

RESPONSE T REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. I
The 3DSU Defendants incx orate by reference each General Objection into . their
response to this Request. The, JDSU Defendants fur her object to this Request because it is
overbroad and unduly burdensome and seeks an enormous volume of information that is neither
relevant to the claims or defenses of any party in this action nor reasonably calculated to lead : to
the discovery of admissible evidence. The JDSU Defendants also object to this Request because
it is vague and ambiguous, and fails to describe the documents sought with reasonable
particularity. Read literally, Lead Plaintiff's. Request seeks `°all" documents created by all JDSU
employees reflecting every potential or actual sale ofJDSU's products, The JDSU Defendants
also object to this Request to the extent .that it requires creation of a new document .
Subject to the above objections and incorporaWig by reference the General Objections ,
and to the extent such documents can be located after a reasonably diligent search as described i n

Re: In re JDS Uniphme Securities Litigation, Master File No. 02-1 486 CW @DL)
Dear Tony:
I write hrrther to my January 30,2006 letter to Jon Adams regarding Plaintiffs' request for text files of the electronic documents that JDSU has previously produced to Plaintiffs. As we discussed during our February 2,2006 meet-and-confrr session, JDSU has agreed to provide Plaintiffs with text files that contain the same fields that Applied Discovery provides to Morrison & Foerster for our use with Concordance. Accordingly, enclosed find a hard drive that contains the text files of the electronic documents that JDSU has produced to Plaintiffs through January 3 1,2006. Please copy the data f?om the hard drive and then return it to me.
In addition, we have hard-copy documents, labeled JDSU 1659499 - JDSU 1667392, available for production to Plaintiffs fkom Dr. Straus's files. As soon as you inform us of your preferred local vendor, we will send these documents to it for copying, in addition to the approximately 7,900 pages of documents that we offered to produce to Plaintiffs on January 31.
Very truly yours,
Philip T. Besirof

Re: In re JDS Uniphase Securities Litigation, Master File No. 02-1486 CW (N.D. Cal.)
Dear Barbara:
I write M e r to my July 5 letter, as well as our telephone call of Friday, regarding JDSU's production of transactional data contained on the Oracle database.
We are currently in the process of creating a database environment in which we will restore data fiom the Oracle database. As we discussed on Friday, the Oracle data that we are restoring now reside on back-up tapes. Once the database environment and the tapes are restored, we will verify the data (including verification that there is no corruption), and review the contents to ensure that no redaction is necessary. After that process has been completed, we will begin a rolling production to Lead Plaintiff. Assuming that there is no conuption of these tapes (and as of the present, we have no reason to believe there is any corruption), we estimate that we will be able to produce Oracle data within four to six weeks from today.
In the meantime, it would be productive to decide on a method by which JDSU will provide the Oracle data to Lead Plaintiff. There are a variety of possible methods, depending on Lead Plaintiffs preferences and capabilities. Specifically, there are four methods that we have identified for providing the Oracle transactional data. You will likely want to consult with your IT vendor in making a selection. The four methods are as follows:
After we have recreated a database environment and restored the Oracle tapes, we will be able to run specific queries for Lead Plaintiff. We would then provide the results of Lead Plaintiffs queries to you;
Case 4:02-cv-01486 Document 700 Filed 11/30/2006 Page 2 of 3
M O R R I S O N F O E R S T E R I Barbara J. Hart, Esq. Anthony J. Harwood, Esq. Jon Adams, Esq. August 1,2005 Page Two
JDSU can provide raw database files to Lead Plaintiff on either a hard drive or on back-up tapes. If Lead Plaintiff selects to receive the Oracle data on a hard drive, you should provide the hard drive on which you want the data placed. We will then return the same drive to you once the data has been placed on the drive;
JDSU can provide Lead Plaintiff with the data export files (.drnp) from Oracle, which is a preferred method if Lead Plaintiff has Oracle software; or
JDSU can place the data onto text files, allowing Lead Plaintiff to more easily create its own environment.
Each of these methods involves different costs and benefits, including monetary costs and lead time for production. Accordingly, we suggest that you meet and confer with us (after discussing these issues with your IT consultant) to determine your preferred method. Please let me know once you are ready to discuss these production issues.
Finally, as we agreed last Friday, we will address the remaining discovery issues by letter on Wednes&y .
Very truly yours,
Terri Garland

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,
