Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be 

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the 

following Order.

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 

of the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 

testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or 

responses to discovery in this matter. 

1.2 “Confidential” Information or Items: Disclosure or Discovery Material 

that is non-public and that a party in good faith believes must be held confidential to protect 

personal privacy interests or proprietary commercial or business information, including trade 

secrets. 

1.3 “Highly Confidential” Information or Items: “Confidential” 

Information or Items, the disclosure of which the Producing Party in good faith believes would 

create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 

1.4 Receiving Party: a party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 

from a Producing Party. 

1.5 Producing Party: a party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action. 

1.6 Designating Party: a party or non-party that designates information or 

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential.” 

1.7 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

designated as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential,” either by parties or non-parties in 

this action or in the related securities class action entitled In re JDS Uniphase Corp. Securities 

Litigation, C-02-1486 CW (EDL).

1.8 Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a party but who 

are retained to represent or advise a party in this action.

1.9 In-house Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party.

1.10 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and In-house Counsel (as 

well as their support staffs). 

1.11 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a party or its counsel to serve as an expert 

witness or as a consultant in this action. 

1.12 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 

services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; 

organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and 

subcontractors.

2. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 

Protected Material (as defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom,

as well as all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof (whether in written, 

computer or other form), plus testimony, conversations, or presentations by parties or counsel 

to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected Material; provided, however, that 

the use of Protected Material that is to be offered into evidence in any public hearing or 

proceeding, including trial, shall be governed solely by the provisions of Paragraphs 6.2(d), 

6.3(d) and 6.7.

3. DURATION

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until each Designating Party agrees otherwise in 

writing or a court order otherwise directs.

4. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

4.1 Marking of Protected Material (Other Than Deposition Transcripts): 

Any party to this litigation, or non-party who produces Disclosure or Discovery Material, shall 

Case 3:03-cv-04743-WWS Document 186 Filed 06/29/2007 Page 3 of 18 Case 4:03-cv-04743-CW Document 187 Filed 07/05/07 Page 3 of 18

have the right to designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” any

Protected Material it produces. All Protected Material shall bear a legend on each page stating 

that the material is “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” In order to speed 

the process of producing large volumes of Protected Material, multi-page documents in which 

Protected Material is pervasive may be marked “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL” throughout, with the understanding that portions of those documents not 

containing Protected Material can be de-designated through the meet-and-confer process of 

Paragraph 5.2. Where it is not possible to affix a legend to particular Protected Material, the 

Producing Party shall take reasonable steps to give all Receiving Parties notice of its status as 

Protected Material. Where a computer disk has been marked as Protected Material and the 

files on it are not individually bates-numbered or identified as Protected Material, all files 

contained on the disk shall be considered Protected Material.Mass, indiscriminate, or 

routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified, 

or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the 

case development process, or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties), 

expose the Designating Party to sanctions. If it comes to a party’s or a non-party’s attention 

that Disclosure or Discovery Material designated as Protected Material does not qualify for 

protection at all, or does not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, that party or 

non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken 

designation. 

4.2 Depositions: Deposition testimony may be classified as Protected 

Material at the deposition, or at any time during a review period of up to and including 30 days 

after receipt of the official transcript of such testimony by counsel for the party whose 

information has been disclosed, or in the case of non-parties or others whose information has 

been disclosed, up to and including 30 days after the transcript is available for review, 

whichever period is longer. Each deposition transcript in its entirety shall be treated as having 

been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” during the review period. Designations of 

Protected Material made during the deposition will be reasonably identified at the beginning of 

Case 3:03-cv-04743-WWS Document 186 Filed 06/29/2007 Page 4 of 18 Case 4:03-cv-04743-CW Document 187 Filed 07/05/07 Page 4 of 18

the deposition transcript when produced. Designations of Protected Material made during the 

review period will be made in writing served on all parties. It will be the responsibility of 

counsel of record to take reasonable steps to make sure that Protected Material in deposition 

transcripts is used only as expressly permitted in this Order. Party representative(s) attending 

any deposition will be temporarily excused from the deposition room at times when testimony 

then being designated by another party as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” is being given. 

Expert witnesses who have been retained in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6.4 

and who have signed the “Expert Agreement to Be Bound by Order” (Exhibit A) may attend 

depositions in their entirety. 

4.3 Contractual Obligations to Non-Parties: During the course of this 

action, a party may be requested to produce information that is subject to contractual or other 

obligations of confidentiality owed to a non-party. The party subject to the contractual or 

other obligation of confidentiality shall timely contact the person to whom the obligation is 

owed to determine whether that person is willing to permit disclosure of the confidential 

information under the terms of this Order. If that person is willing, the information shall be 

produced in accordance with this Order. If the person to whom the obligation is owed is not 

willing to permit disclosure of the confidential information under the terms of this Order, the 

party seeking the information in this litigation shall be notified, and any documents withheld 

on the basis of a contractual or other confidentiality obligation shall be identified on a separate 

index stating the reason for withholding the document and the person to whom the obligation 

of confidentiality is owed. This Order shall not preclude any party from moving the Court for 

an order compelling production of such material. 

4.4 Re-Designation: Inadvertent production of any Protected Material 

without a designation of confidentiality will not, standing alone, be deemed to waive a later 

claim as to its proper designation, nor will it prevent the Producing Party from designating said 

document or material “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” at a later date. 

The Producing Party shall comply with Paragraph 4.1 when redesignating Disclosure or 

Discovery Material as Protected Material. Following any redesignation of Disclosure or 

Case 3:03-cv-04743-WWS Document 186 Filed 06/29/2007 Page 5 of 18 Case 4:03-cv-04743-CW Document 187 Filed 07/05/07 Page 5 of 18

Discovery Material as Protected Material (or redesignation of “CONFIDENTIAL” material as 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL”), the party receiving such Protected Material shall take 

reasonable steps to comply with the redesignation including, without limitation, retrieving all 

copies and excerpts of any redesignated Protected Material from persons not entitled to receive 

it. However, the Receiving Party shall not be obligated to remove from the public record any 

Disclosure or Discovery Material that had been filed with the Court as part of the public record 

prior to the Producing Party’s redesignation of that Disclosure or Discovery Material as 

Protected Material. The Producing Party may move to have any such document sealed.

5. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

5.1 Timing of Challenges: A party does not waive its right to challenge a 

confidentiality designation merely by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the 

original designation is disclosed.

5.2 Meet and Confer: A party that elects to initiate a challenge to a 

Designating Party's confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the 

process by conferring directly (in voice-to-voice dialogue) with counsel for the Designating 

Party. In conferring, the challenging party must explain the basis for its belief that the 

confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity 

to review the Protected Material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in 

designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A challenging party 

may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet-andconfer process first. 

5.3 Judicial Intervention: A party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party 

may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local 

Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis 

for the challenge. Each motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms 

that the movant has complied with the meet-and-confer requirements imposed in the preceding 

paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality

designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet-and-confer dialogue. The 

burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. 

Information classified as Protected Material shall retain its Protected Material status as well as 

its category of designation until such time as this Court enters an order reclassifying such 

material or stripping it of its Protected Material status; the time to seek review of the Court's 

order has expired, no appeal having been taken; or in the event review is sought, the reviewing 

court has completed its review and rendered a decision on the matter.

6. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

6.1 Basic Principles: A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 

disclosed or produced by another party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for 

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. It may not use Protected Material 

for any other purpose, including, without limitation, any other litigation or any business, 

competitive, or governmental purpose or function. Protected Material may be disclosed only 

to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the 

litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 7

below, (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

Protected material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized 

under this Order. 

6.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Unless 

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving 

Party may disclose any information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, 

as well as employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 

information for this litigation; 

(b) the former and current officers, directors, and employees 

(including In-house Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably

necessary for this litigation;

6.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items:

6.4 Additional Provisions Governing Experts: 

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (b) of this 

paragraph, no representative plaintiff or its Counsel may retain an expert witness or consultant

consultant of a Competitor (as defined in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph) of JDS Uniphase

or one of its predecessors; (iii) has been an employee or consultant of JDS Uniphase, one of its 

predecessors, or one of its Competitors within the eighteen months immediately prior to the 

date of his or her retention to perform work in connection with this case; or (iv) at the time of

retention, Anticipates being employed or retained as a consultant by JDS Uniphase or one of 

its Competitors. For purposes of this subparagraph, “Anticipates” means has received a formal

JDS Uniphase or one of its predecessors was engaged at the time of the events alleged in the 

complaints in this action. 

(i) Within 30 days of the date of entry of this Order, JDS 

Uniphase shall provide plaintiffs with a list of its Competitors (the “List of Competitors”), on 

which plaintiffs may rely in retaining consultants and expert witnesses, subject to the 

provisions of subparagraph (c)(ii) of this Paragraph, and subject to plaintiffs’ right to file a 

motion challenging the designation of any entity as a Competitor under subparagraph (c)(iii) of

this Paragraph.

(ii) JDS Uniphase may file a motion asserting that a 

particular consultant or expert retained by plaintiffs in conformity with the provisions of 

subparagraph (a) of this paragraph should not be allowed to serve in that capacity because the 

consultant or expert is, within the last eighteen months has been, or Anticipates being, 

employed or engaged by a Competitor of JDS Uniphase not identified as such on the List of

Competitors. To prevail on such a motion, JDS Uniphase must demonstrate that it had good 

cause for failing to include the Competitor in question on its List of Competitors and that the 

company that the challenged expert has been employed by or consulted with meets the 

definition of a “Competitor” under paragraph 6.4(c). Plaintiffs reserve the right to oppose such 

a motion or to argue that the Court should impose conditions on the grant of the motion.

(iii) Plaintiffs may file a motion challenging the inclusion of a 

company on the List of Competitors. To prevail on such a motion, plaintiffs must demonstrate 

that the company in question does not meet the definition of a Competitor under 

subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph.

(d) Before the representative plaintiffs or their counsel disclose any 

Protected Material to an Expert, the Expert shall sign an Acknowledgement substantially in the 

form of Exhibit A, stating under penalty of perjury that the Expert:

(i) agrees to be bound by the terms of this Order;

(ii) is not a current employee or consultant and does not 

Anticipate becoming an employee or consultant of JDS Uniphase, of any company on the List 

of Competitors, or of any company that the Expert believes to be a Competitor; and

(iii) has not been an employee or consultant within the eighteen 

months immediately preceding the Expert’s retention in this litigation of JDS Uniphase, of a 

predecessor of JDS Uniphase, of any company on the List of Competitors, or of any company 

that the Expert believes to be a Competitor. 

6.5 Protected Material Subpoenaed or Ordered Produced in Other 

Litigation:

(a) If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued 

in other litigation that would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL,” the Receiving Party must so 

notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax or email, if possible) immediately and in no 

event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such notification must 

include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

(b) The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing 

the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the 

material covered by the subpoena or order is the subject of this Order. In addition, the 

Receiving Party must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Order promptly to the party in the other 

action that caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

(c) The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested 

parties to the existence of this Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an 

opportunity to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena 

or order issued. The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses of seeking 

protection in that court of its CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIAL, and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or 

encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

has disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under 

this Stipulated Order, the Receiving Party must immediately contact the person to whom 

disclosure was made and: 

(1) request that the person execute the “Expert 

Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A (if the 

person is an Expert) or the “Non-Expert Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” that 

is attached hereto as Exhibit B (if the person is a non-Expert); and 

(2) unless the unauthorized disclosure is cured as provided 

for in paragraph 6.6(b), request that the person return the Protected Material to the Receiving 

Party. 

(b) If the person is one to whom Protected Material may otherwise 

be disclosed under the terms of this Stipulated Order, the Receiving Party must within ten (10) 

days cure the unauthorized disclosure by following all procedures that this Stipulated Order 

would have required for an authorized disclosure of Protected Material to that person in the 

first instance.

(c) If, within ten (10) days of learning of the unauthorized 

disclosure, the Receiving Party is unable to obtain the person's signature on an “Expert 

Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” (if the person is an Expert) or a “Non-Expert 

Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” (if the person is a non-Expert), or to obtain 

return of the Protected Material, pursuant to paragraph 6.6(a), or to cure the unauthorized 

disclosure, pursuant to paragraph 6.6(b), the Receiving Party must immediately inform the 

Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosure and identify the person to whom the 

disclosure was made.

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. In the event that Protected 

Material is to be offered into evidence in any public hearing or proceeding, including trial, the 

offering party shall so notify the Court and the Court shall then consider what steps, if any, 

should be taken to protect the information.

6.8 Own Use: Nothing contained herein shall prevent any Designating 

Party from disclosing its own Protected Material to any person as it deems appropriate.

7. FINAL DISPOSITION

(a) Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing 

Party, or unless the Receiving Party elects to proceed under Paragraph 7(b), each Receiving 

Party, within sixty days after the final termination of this action, must return all Protected 

Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes 

all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing 

any of the Protected Material. 

(b) At its option, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all of the 

Protected Material instead of returning it. 

(c) Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the 

same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the sixty-day deadline that identifies (by 

category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that 

affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, 

summaries, or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph, Counsel 

are entitled to retain one archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal 

memoranda, correspondence, or attorney work product, even if such materials contain 

Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material 

remain subject to this Order as set forth in Section 3 (DURATION), above.
