TELLABS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AND
PER-SHARE DATA

1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial statements, the requirements of Form 10-Q and applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commissions Regulation S-X. Therefore, they do not include all disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. We have evaluated the financial statements for subsequent
events through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements and notes herein are to be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2009.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are necessary for a
fair presentation. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

2. New
Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTMand the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM(Codification) to become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. SFAS 168 will have no impact on our financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the
balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods on or after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 for the quarter ended
July 3, 2009. SFAS 165 did not have an impact on our financial statements. However, it could impact our accounting for future transactions.

In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment(FSP 115-2/124-2). FSP 115-2/124-2 amends the requirements for the recognition and measurement of
other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the pre-existing intent and ability indicator. Under FSP 115-2/124-2, an other-than-temporary impairment is triggered when there is intent to sell the security, it is
more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover its entire amortized cost basis. Additionally, FSP 115-2/124-2 changes the presentation of other-than-temporary
impairment in the financial statements for those impairments involving credit losses. The credit loss component is recognized as a charge against current period earnings and the remainder of the impairment is recorded in other comprehensive income.
This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of FSP 115-2/124-2 for the quarter ended July 3, 2009. FSP 115-2/124-2 did not have an
impact on our financial statements. However, it could impact our accounting for future transactions.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB
28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments(FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 relates to fair value disclosures in public entity financial statements for financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This guidance increases the frequency of those disclosures, requiring public entities to provide the disclosures on a quarterly basis (rather than just annually). The quarterly
disclosures are intended to provide financial statement users with more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on an entitys financial instruments that are not otherwise reported at fair value. FSP 107-1 is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of FSP 107-1 for the quarter ended July 3, 2009. FSP 107-1 did not have an impact on our financial statements. See the discussions in
Notes 4 and 5 regarding fair value measurements and investments disclosures.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. FSP 132(R)-1 requires enhanced disclosures about the plan assets of a Companys defined benefit and other postretirement plans. This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2009. FSP 132(R)-1 will not have an impact on our financial statements.

We adopted the provisions of SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
ARB No. 51, on January 3, 2009. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards designed to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information provided in a reporting entitys consolidated
financial statements. SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. However, it could impact our accounting for future transactions.

We adopted the provisions of SFAS 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133,on January 3, 2009.SFAS 161 is designed to improve the transparency of an
entitys financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 did not have an impact on our financial statements. See the discussion in Note 6 regarding derivative financial
instruments disclosures.

We adopted the provisions of SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations on January 3, 2009. SFAS 141(R) establishes
principles and requirements for an acquirer that are designed to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of information provided by a reporting entity in its financial reports about business combinations and their
effects. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on our financial statements will largely be dependent on the size and nature of any business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement. While SFAS 141(R) generally
applies only to transactions that close after its effective date, the amendments to SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and FASB Interpretation (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, are applied prospectively as
of the adoption date and will apply to business combinations with acquisition dates before the effective date of SFAS 141(R). We estimate that approximately $14.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits associated with prior acquisitions, if
recognized, would impact income tax expense instead of goodwill in future periods as a result of SFAS 141(R).

We adopted the provisions of FSP 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,an amendment to the Fair Value Measurements standard on January 3, 2009 for all non-recurring non-financial assets that include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and
investments in partnerships and start-up technology companies. FSP 157-2 did not have an impact on our financial statements. However, it could impact our accounting in the future.

3. Restructuring and Other Charges

On July 6, 2009, management initiated an approved restructuring plan as we
align our costs with customer spending and current market conditions. The cost and cash payments under this plan are expected to be between $5 million and $6 million primarily for workforce reductions of approximately 150 employees. In the second
quarter of 2009, we recorded $5.2 million for severance accruals relating to this plan. Restructuring actions under this plan are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2010.

On February 5, 2009, management initiated a restructuring plan as we align our costs with customer spending and current market conditions. The cost and cash
payments under this plan are expected to be $1.7 million for workforce reductions of 49 employees. During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a reduction of $0.1 million to severance accruals for this plan. For the first six months of 2009, we
recorded $1.7 million for severance related activities. Restructuring actions under this plan are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, management initiated a plan that resizes Tellabs business to reflect market conditions. Restructuring actions under this plan include reducing future investment in access products and freeing up resources
to focus on data and transport products. The pretax restructuring charges for this plan are expected to be approximately $23 million, which includes approximately $10 million in severance charges for workforce reductions and $13 million for
facility- and asset-related charges. In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded $0.4 million, of which $0.2 million was for facility- and asset-related charges and $0.2 million was for adjustments to severance accruals. For the first six months of
2009, we recorded $5.3 million for facility- and asset-related charges. Through the end of the second quarter of 2009, we recorded $22.6 million for this plan, of which $10.3 million is for severance and $12.3 million is for facility- and
asset-related charges. Cash payments under this plan are expected to be approximately $16 million. Restructuring actions under this plan are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2009.

In addition, we recorded a reduction of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 relating to earlier 2008 restructuring plans, which included $1.0 million for an early
lease termination from the April 2008 plan and $0.1 million for severance related to the January 2008 plan. The net reduction of $0.3 million to previous restructuring plans in the first six months of 2009 is for facility-related activities, as a
result of a favorable settlement on a lease obligation.

##### Table of Contents

As of July 3, 2009, we had $23.4 million accrued for restructuring plans. The 2009 restructuring plans balance of
$5.7 million consists of cash severance that we expect to pay through the fourth quarter of 2010. The 2008 restructuring plans balance of $9.7 million consists of $2.2 million in cash severance that we expect to pay through the second quarter of
2010 and $7.5 million in net lease obligations that expire through 2015. The $8.0 million balance for previous restructuring plans relates to net lease obligations that expire through 2011.

The following table summarizes restructuring and other charges recorded to operating expenses for the plans mentioned above, as well as adjustments to reserves for prior

as quoted prices in active markets, or other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Fair value is
measured as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be
determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring
fair value as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. In determining fair value for recurring financial assets and liabilities, we separate our financial instruments into three categories: marketable securities, other marketable securities and stock loan, and derivative
financial instruments. These assets and liabilities are all valued based on the market approach that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

5. Investments

We account for investments in marketable securities at market prices, with the unrealized gain or loss, less deferred income taxes, shown as a separate component of stockholders equity. We base realized gains and losses on specific
identification of the security sold. At July 3, 2009, available-for-sale marketable securities consisted of the following:

Of our available-for-sale marketable securities at July 3, 2009, $230.6 million have contractual maturities of less
than 12 months, $684.2 million have contractual maturities of greater than one year up to five years and $123.6 million have contractual maturities greater than five years.

Gross unrealized gains and losses related to fixed-income securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations. We review investments held with unrealized losses to determine if the loss is other-than-temporary. We
evaluated near-term prospects of the security in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized loss. We also assessed our intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before
recovery, or the security is not expected to recover its entire amortized cost basis. Based on our review, we do not intend to sell these securities and believe that they will recover their entire amortized cost basis; therefore, we do not consider
these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at July 3, 2009. No other-than-temporary impairments were recorded for the second quarter and first six months of 2009.

Investments in marketable securities with unrealized losses at July 3, 2009, were as follows:

As a result of our acquisition of Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc. (AFC) in 2004, we acquired 10.6 million
shares of Cisco common stock, shown as Other marketable securities in Current Assets. AFC owned this stock as a result of its investment in privately held Cerent Corporation, which was acquired by Cisco in 1999. In 2000, AFC entered
into two three-year hedge contracts, pledging all of the Cisco stock to secure the obligations under the contracts. When the hedge contracts matured in 2003, AFC entered into stock loan agreements with a lender, borrowing 10.6 million shares of
Cisco stock to settle the hedge contracts on the Cisco stock. The aggregate amount of the fair values of those stock loans is reflected as a current liability on our balance sheet as of July 3, 2009. The values of both the asset and liability
move in tandem with each other since each is based on the number of shares we hold at the current stock price. At July 3, 2009, Other marketable securities and Stock loanwas $195.3 million at a market price of $18.50 per share.
The fees associated with the stock loan agreement for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 were $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

In
addition to the above investments, we maintain investments in partnerships and in start-up technology companies. We recorded these investments in Other Assets. These investments, recorded at cost, totaled $8.2 million at July 3, 2009.

We review each investment in our portfolio quarterly, including historical and projected financial performance, expected cash needs and recent funding
events. We recognize other-than-temporary impairments if the market value of the investment is below its cost basis for an extended period of time or if the issuer has experienced significant financial declines or difficulties in raising capital to
continue operations. No other-than-temporary impairments were recorded for the second quarter and first six months of 2009.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

Financial Contracts and Market Risk

We conduct business on a global basis in U.S. and foreign currencies
subjecting us to risks associated with fluctuating foreign exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we use derivative foreign exchange contracts to address nonfunctional exposures that are expected to be settled in one year or less. The derivative
foreign exchange contracts consist of foreign currency forward and, at times, option contracts.

Derivative financial contracts involve elements of market
and credit risk. The market risk that results from these contracts relates to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which generally are offset by changes in the value of the underlying assets or liabilities being held. Credit risk relates to
the risk of nonperformance by a counterparty to one of our derivative contracts. We do not believe there is a significant credit risk associated with our hedging activities. We monitor the counterparties credit ratings and other market data to
minimize credit risk. In addition, we also limit the aggregate contract amount entered into with any one financial institution to mitigate credit risk.

Cash Flow Hedges

We use foreign currency forward and option contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to mitigate currency risk
related to an imbalance of nonfunctional currency denominated costs and related revenue. We conduct monthly effectiveness tests of these hedging relationships on a spot-to-spot basis, excluding forward points. Effective gains and losses from
derivative contracts are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions occur, at which time they are reclassified to Total cost of revenue. Ineffectiveness is recorded to Other income, net.
If it becomes probable that an anticipated transaction that is hedged will not occur, we immediately reclassify the gains or losses related to that hedge from Accumulated other comprehensive incometoOther income, net.At July 3,
2009, we had a net unrealized loss of $2.7 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income,which is expected to be reclassified to income within the next 12 months at the prevailing market rate. At the end of the quarter, we held
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in one currency, with a gross notional equivalent of $65.6 million.

Balance Sheet Hedges (Non-designated
Hedges)

Short-term monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Tellabs entity entering into
the transaction are remeasured through income as foreign currency rates fluctuate. Changes in the value of derivative contracts intended to offset these fluctuations are also recorded in income, excluding forward points. The gain or loss from
changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are generally offset by gains or losses of the underlying transactions being hedged. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedges. At the end of the quarter, we held non-designated
foreign currency forward contracts in nine currencies, with a gross notional equivalent of $179.1 million.

Net Investment Hedges

We entered into three-month foreign currency forward contracts, designated as net investment hedges, to hedge a portion of our net investment in one of our foreign
subsidiaries to preserve the U.S. dollar value of our Euro cash. Effective changes in the fair value of these contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations are recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be
reflected in income only when we dispose of the investment being hedged. We conduct monthly effectiveness tests of our net investment hedges on a spot-to-spot basis, excluding forward points, in income. As of July 3, 2009, we had a net
unrealized gain of $10.6 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income,which includes a net gain of $10.1 million related to settled contracts and a net gain of $0.5 million related to existing contracts.We held net investment
hedges with a notional value of Euro 50 million at the end of the quarter.

The fair value of derivative instruments in our Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of July 3, 2009, was as follows:

7. Product Warranties

We provide warranties for all of our products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending on the product. We provide a basic limited warranty, including parts and labor, for all products except access products for
periods ranging from 90 days to 5 years. The basic limited warranty for access products covers parts and labor for periods ranging from 2 to 6 years.

Our
estimate of warranty liability involved many factors, including the number of units shipped, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability and adjust
the amounts as necessary. The decline in accruals for product warranties issued during the second quarter and first six months of 2009 represent a lower number of units shipped and lower anticipated rates of warranty claims. Other adjustments to
accruals for product warranties issued represent reductions due to favorable experience to previous estimates.

We classify the portion of our warranty
liability that we expect to incur in the next 12 months as a current liability. We classify the portion of our warranty liability that we expect to incur more than 12 months in the future as a long-term liability. Product warranty liabilities are as
follows:

8. Equity-Based Compensation

The Tellabs, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan (2004 Plan) provides for the grant of short-term and long-term incentives, including stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted
stock and performance stock units (PSUs). Stockholders previously approved 53,889,977 shares for grant under the 2004 Plan, of which 30,063,701 remain available for grant at July 3, 2009. Under the 2004 Plan and predecessor plans, we granted
awards at market value on the date of grant.

Stock Options

Stock options granted in the first half of 2009 and 2008 generally vest in three annual installments on the anniversary of the grant date. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period based on the fair
value of the stock options on the grant date. Compensation expense for stock options was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2009, $3.3 million for the first six months of 2009, $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $7.2 million for the
first six months of 2008. Options granted but unexercised expire 10 years from the grant date.

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the use of assumptions that will have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to compute the weighted average fair value of current
period stock option grants:



|                         |  |            |   |  |         |

|Expected term (in years) |  | 4.5        |   |  | 4.5     |  
|Expected dividend yield  |  | 0.0        | % |  | 0.0     | %

We based our calculation of expected volatility on a combination of historical and implied volatility for options
granted. We based the risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. We estimated the expected term of the options using their vesting period, post-vesting employment termination behavior and historical
exercise patterns.

The following is a summary of stock option activity during 2009 as of July 3, 2009:

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the first six months of 2009 was $2.06. The
aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price as of July 3, 2009, that the option holders would have received had all holders exercised their options as of that
date.

As of July 3, 2009, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, which we expect to recognize over a
weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of cash-settled SARs in conjunction with, or independent of, the stock options under the 2004 Plan. These SARs allow the holder to receive in cash the difference between the
cash-settled SARs grant price (the market value of our stock on the grant date) and the market value of our stock on the date the holder exercises the SAR. The cash-settled SARs are generally assigned 10-year terms and typically vest in three
annual installments on the anniversary of the grant date. At July 3, 2009, there were 295,089 cash-settled SARs outstanding with exercise prices that ranged from $3.75 to $50.31. The weighted average price

of the 40,050 cash-settled SARs granted in the first six months of 2009 was $4.97 and the weighted average price of the 43,300 cash-settled SARs granted in
the first six months of 2008 was $5.88.

Restricted Stock

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock. Restricted stock granted in the first half of 2009 and 2008 generally vests in three annual installments on the anniversary of the grant date. We recognize
compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods based on the market price of our stock on the grant date. Compensation expense was $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2009, $6.8 million for the first six months of 2009,
$4.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $8.4 million for the first six months of 2008. The fair market value of restricted stock vested in the first six months of 2009 was $3.7 million. Non-vested restricted stock award activity for 2009

we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Performance Stock Units

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of PSUs. The PSUs granted in the first six months of 2009 entitle the recipients to receive shares of our common stock commencing
in March 2010, contingent on the achievement of our operating income targets for the 2009 fiscal year. Following achievement of this financial measure and subject to continued employment, one-third of such shares will be issued in annual
installments in March 2010, March 2011 and March 2012. At maximum target performance, we will issue two shares for each PSU granted. Compensation expense for PSUs was $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2009, $1.0 million for the first six
months of 2009, $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $0.3 million for the first six months of 2008. PSU activity for 2009 follows:

As of July 3, 2009, we had $3.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs, based on our most
recent forecast performance, that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

We currently do not anticipate contributing to the plan in 2009, as it is adequately funded at this time.

10. Income Taxes

We recorded tax expense of $15.0
million for the second quarter and $22.0 million for the first six months of 2009. Our tax expense results in an effective tax rate that exceeds the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% because we are unable to recognize a tax benefit for
domestic losses and credits due to the valuation allowance maintained against domestic deferred tax assets, partially offset by an increase in foreign income taxed at lower rates. We expect to continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our
domestic and certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets until a sufficient level of profitability is attained.

11. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 and 2008 consists of the following:

The Transport
segment includes solutions that enable service providers to transport service and manage optical bandwidth by adding capacity when and where its needed. Wireline and wireless carriers use these products within the metropolitan portion of their
transport networks to support wireless services, business services for enterprise customers, and triple-play voice, video and data services for residential customers. Product offerings include the Tellabs® 3000 voice quality enhancement products, the Tellabs® 5000 series of digital cross-connect systems, the Tellabs® 7100 optical transport system (OTS) and the Tellabs® 7300 metro ethernet switching series.

The Services segment includes

13. Stock Repurchase Programs

On January 29, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized a one-year extension of the purchase of our outstanding stock under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend to continue to use cash generated by
employee stock option exercises (other than those of company officers and board members) to repurchase stock in the manner provided under this program. As of July 3, 2009, we purchased 7.3 million shares of our common stock under this
program since February 2006, at a total cost of $91.7 million, including $19,031 (3,766 shares) in the second quarter of 2009 and $35,863 (7,788 shares) in the first six months of 2009.

In November 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program of up to $600 million of our outstanding common stock. As of July 3, 2009, we purchased 19.7 million shares of our common stock under
this program at a total cost of $122.9 million, leaving $477.1 million available to be purchased under this program. We may repurchase shares under the authorized open market program periodically during open trading windows when we do not possess
material non-public information. On August 6, 2009, our Board of Directors directed management to actively repurchase up to $200 million of our common stock over the next four quarters under the November 2007 authorized program. We provide no
assurance as to the amount of repurchases to be made or the actual purchase prices.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2009, we purchased
0.2 million shares for $0.9 million to cover withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans and in the first six months of 2009, we purchased 0.2 million shares for $1.0 million under this program.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition

Introduction and Overview of Business

Tellabs designs, develops and supports telecommunications networking products. We generate revenue principally through the sale of these products as stand-alone network elements and as elements of integrated solutions to communications
service providers worldwide. We also generate revenue by providing services to our customers. We operate in three business segments: Broadband, Transport and Services.

The Broadband segment includes access, managed access and data product portfolios that facilitate the delivery of bundled consumer services, wireline business services and wireless communications.



| |  |  | Revenue from access products is driven by consumer demand for the triple-play of bundled voice, video and high-speed Internet/data services as traditional
telecommunications companies and cable service operators compete to be the sole provider of these services to consumers and businesses.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Revenue from managed access products is driven by the need to provide business-oriented voice, video and high-speed Internet/data services and wireless
communications.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Revenue from data products is driven by demand for wireless and wireline carriers to deliver next-generation business services and wireless services.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Transport segment includes digital cross-connect systems, optical networking systems and voice-quality enhancement products. These
products enable service providers to generate revenue from business services, manage bandwidth, add network capacity when and where it is needed, and improve voice quality. Revenue from the Transport segment is driven by the needs of service
providers to deliver wireless services, business services and consumer services.

The Services segment includes deployment, support, training, systems
integration and network design/consulting services. Revenue from deployment, support, training and systems integration services arises primarily from the sales of products and continues to represent the majority of Services revenue, while network
design/consulting services is the fastest growing part of the Services portfolio.

Tellabs operates in a dynamic industry. Customer consolidation has
reduced overall industry capital spending, which together with a lack of consolidation on the part of network equipment companies, has resulted in increased pricing pressure. In addition, customer spending is pressured and competition is heightened
by the global economic situation.

Within this backdrop, we continue to transform the company with new products and services. The company is evolving from
a business based primarily on the circuit-switched Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology used in our digital cross-connect and managed access products to a business based on the packet-switching and Internet Protocol (IP) technology used in
our optical networking, access and multiservice data products. These new products are taking root as service providers transform their networks with next-generation capabilities. Some of these products carry gross profit margins lower and some carry
gross profit margins higher than the corporate average. While we have significantly improved the profitability of these products over time, the mix of products in any given quarter can affect overall profitability.

Management continues to define and implement initiatives to improve our overall performance. On February 5, 2009, and July 6, 2009, management initiated
restructuring plans as we align our costs with customer spending and current market conditions. These restructuring plans primarily implement workforce reductions. However, as a consequence of the Companys increased focus on growth markets and
growth products, we expect to hire people with different skill sets as needed around the world.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the second quarter of 2009, revenue was $385.4 million, compared with $432.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, revenue was
$747.1 million, compared with $896.6 million in the comparable period of 2008. In both periods, revenue declined in all segments.

Consolidated gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2009 was 43.5%, up 8.8 percentage points from 34.7% in the
second quarter of 2008. On a six-month basis, consolidated gross margin was 43.8%, up 7.2 percentage points from 36.6% in 2008. The increase in gross margin across both time periods is primarily the result of Broadband-segment mix shifts and
profitability improvements.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2009, including $6.0 million in intangible asset amortization and $4.1 million in
restructuring and other charges, were $143.0 million, down $15.0 million from $158.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. Excluding intangible asset amortization and restructuring and other charges, our operating expenses decreased by $14.1
million. On a six-month basis, operating expenses, including $12.0 million in intangible asset amortization and $10.8 million in restructuring and other charges, were $294.0 million, down $28.5 million, compared with the first six months of 2008.
Excluding intangible asset amortization and restructuring and other charges, our operating expenses decreased by $26.0 million during the first six months of 2009.

The reduction in operating expenses across both periods came primarily in research and development costs and represents the companys continuing efforts to improve profitability by aligning our costs with customer spending and market
conditions.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2009 were $15.7 million or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted) compared with $39.0 million or $0.10 per
share (basic and diluted) in the same period of 2008. (In the second quarter of 2008, we had a tax benefit of $34.8 million or $0.09 per share [basic and diluted] related to the resolution of federal income tax audits for the years 2001 through
2005.) Net earnings for the first six months of 2009 were $22.2 million or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) compared with $55.6 million or $0.14 per share (basic and diluted) for the first six months of 2008.

Overall product revenue decreased in both periods as increased revenue from data products was offset by lower
revenue from other products. The improvement in data revenue was driven by increased customer demand and the acceptance from two customers for deployments. In the Services segment, the revenue decline primarily reflects a lower level of deployment
services revenue, partially offset by an increase in professional services revenue.

On a geographic basis, revenue from customers in North America (United
States and Canada) was $229.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, down 20.1% from the year ago quarter. On a six-month basis, North America revenue totaled $476.5 million, down 25.2% from the comparable period in 2008. Revenue from customers
outside North America was $155.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, up 7.4% from the year ago quarter. For the first six-months of 2009, revenue from customers outside North America was $270.6 million in 2009, up 4.2% from a year ago.

The improvement in products gross margin for both periods reflects more revenue from data products and
profitability improvements to access products and optical networking products. The increase in services gross margin between the first six months of 2009 and the comparable period in 2008 reflects improved gross margins from deployment services.

Decreased operating expenses in the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 reflect savings from
previously announced cost-reduction programs. Restructuring and other charges of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $10.8 million for the first six months of 2009 primarily reflect severance, facility- and asset-related charges.

Interest income, net, declined due to lower interest rates during the second quarter and the first six months of
2009, compared with the year-ago periods.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $15.0 million for the second quarter and $22.0 million for the first six months of 2009, compared with income tax benefits of $34.6 million and $27.3 million for comparable periods in 2008.

The increase in income tax expense in 2009 reflects the absence of a $34.8 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2008 for the favorable resolution of income
tax audits; an increase in earnings from foreign operations taxed at normal rates; and the absence of a tax benefit on domestic losses due to the valuation allowance maintained against our domestic deferred tax assets.

*We define segment profit as gross profit less research and development expenses. Segment profit excludes sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, the amortization of intangibles, restructuring and other charges,
and the impact of equity-based compensation (which contains restricted stock and performance stock units granted after June 30, 2006, and stock options).

Broadband

Revenue

Revenue from
the Broadband segment was $210.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared with $231.5 million in the prior-year quarter. For the first six months of 2009, Broadband segment revenue was $388.5 million, compared with $433.6 million in the first
six months of 2008. In both periods, increased revenue from data products was offset by lower managed access and access revenue.

Data product revenue was
$106.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, up 139.6% from $44.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 and up 69.2% from $63.0 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in data revenue between the first quarter of 2009 and the second
quarter of 2009 is primarily attributable to customer acceptance of two data deployments and reflects equipment shipped in prior quarters. On a six-month basis, data revenue was $169.6 million, up 92.9% from $87.9 million in the comparable period of
2008. In both periods, revenue also benefited from the continuing rollout of our next-generation wireless backhaul solution in multiple geographies.

Managed access revenue was $35.1 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared with $83.4 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, managed access revenue totaled $86.3 million,
compared with $142.2 million in the comparable period of 2008. Revenue from both the Tellabs® 8100 managed access system and
the Tellabs® 6300 SDH transport system declined in both periods.

Access revenue will likely continue to decline year over year as several key customers transition to alternate network architectures. Access revenue was $68.5 million in
the second quarter of 2009, compared with $103.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, access revenue totaled $132.6 million, compared with $203.5 million in the comparable period of 2008.

Segment Profit

Broadband segment profit was $57.4 million in
the second quarter of 2009, up from $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, Broadband segment profit was $91.7 million, up from $31.8 million in the comparable period of 2008. The increase in segment profit for
both time periods was primarily due to a higher level of data revenue, profitability improvements on access products, a lower level of access product revenue with lower profitability, and lower research and development costs.

Transport

Revenue

Revenue from the Transport segment was $118.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared with $140.7 million in the
second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, Transport revenue was $248.5 million, compared with $346.6 million in the comparable period of 2008. Revenue from digital cross-connect and optical networking systems declined in both
periods.

During the second quarter of 2009, approximately 23% of Tellabs® 5500 digital cross-connect product revenue came from new systems, system expansions and system upgrades, compared with 17% in the second quarter of 2008. The
remaining balances consisted of port-card growth on the installed base.

Segment Profit

Transport segment profit was $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared with $30.8 million in the second quarter of 2008. Segment profit for the first six
months of 2009 was $66.1 million, compared with $110.0 million for the first six months of 2008. The decrease for the quarter and the first six months of 2009 was primarily related to lower sales of cross-connect products.

Services

Revenue

Revenue from the Services segment was $56.4 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared with $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. On a six-month basis,
revenue from the Services segment was $110.1 million in 2009, compared with $116.4 million in the first six months of 2008. The decline in both periods primarily reflects a lower level of deployment services revenue, partially offset by an increase
in professional services revenue.

Segment Profit

Services segment profit was $20.2 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared with $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, Services segment profit was $39.2 million, compared with $35.7 million in
the comparable period of 2008. The decrease for the second quarter of 2009 was due to lower deployment services revenue. On a six-month basis, improved gross margins for deployment services drove the increase in segment profit.

Financial Condition, Liquidity & Capital Resources

Our
principal source of liquidity remained our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,242.7 million as of July 3, 2009, which increased by $58.4 million during the quarter and $90.6 million since year-end 2008. The increase in cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities for the first six months of 2009 reflects $108.0 million in cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by cash used for capital expenditures.

The majority of our investments are backed by governments or government agencies. During the quarter, we added some high quality industrial corporate bonds to our
investment portfolio. We believe that all our investments are highly liquid instruments. We may rebalance our portfolio from time to time, which may affect the duration, credit structure and future income of our investments.

During the second quarter of 2009, we repurchased 3,766 shares of our common stock at a cost of $19,000 under previously announced share repurchase programs. On
August 6, 2009, our Board of Directors directed management to actively repurchase up to $200 million of our common stock over the next four quarters under the November 2007 authorized program. We provide no assurance as to the amount of
repurchases to be made or the actual purchase prices.

Based on historical performance and current forecasts, we believe the companys cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities will satisfy working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements related to existing operations for the next 12 months. Future available sources of working capital, including cash, cash
equivalents, and marketable securities, cash generated from future operations, short-term or long-term financing, equity offerings or any combination of these sources, should allow us to meet our long-term liquidity needs. Our current policy is to
use our liquidity, financial strength and stability to fund business operations, to expand business, potentially through acquisitions, or to repurchase our common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the quarter.

Outlook for Third Quarter

We expect third quarter 2009 revenue to be flat to up by a mid-single-digit percentage compared with the second quarter of 2009. We expect gross
margin for the third quarter to be 40%, plus or minus a point or two, as a result of product mix. We expect our third quarter 2009 operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges, to be flat to slightly below second quarter of 2009 levels.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd. v. Tellabs, Inc.On June 18, 2002, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois against Tellabs, Michael Birck (Chairman of the Board of Tellabs) and Richard Notebaert (former CEO, President and
Director of Tellabs). Thereafter, eight similar complaints were also filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois. All nine of these actions were subsequently consolidated, and on December 3, 2002, a
consolidated amended class action complaint was filed against Tellabs, Mr. Birck, Mr. Notebaert, and certain other of our current or former officers and/or directors. The consolidated amended complaint alleged that during the class
period (December 11, 2000-June 19, 2001) the defendants violated the federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements, including, among other things, allegedly providing revenue forecasts that were false and
misleading, misrepresenting demand for our products, and reporting overstated revenue for the fourth quarter 2000 in our financial statements. Further, certain of the individual defendants were alleged to have violated the federal securities
laws by trading our securities while allegedly in possession of material, non-public information about us pertaining to these matters. The consolidated amended complaint seeks unspecified restitution, damages and other relief.

On January 17, 2003, Tellabs and the other named defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended class action complaint in its entirety. On
May 19, 2003, the Court granted our motion and dismissed all counts of the consolidated amended complaint, while affording plaintiffs an opportunity to replead. On July 11, 2003, plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended class
action complaint against Tellabs, Messrs. Birck and Notebaert, and many (although not all) of the other previously named individual defendants, realleging claims similar to those contained in the previously dismissed consolidated amended class
action complaint. We filed a second motion to dismiss on August 22, 2003, seeking the dismissal with prejudice of all claims alleged in the second consolidated amended class action complaint. On February 19, 2004, the Court
issued an order granting that motion and dismissed the action with prejudice. On March 18, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Federal Court of Appeal for the Seventh Circuit, appealing the
dismissal. The appeal was fully briefed and oral argument was heard on January 21, 2005. On January 25, 2006, the Seventh Circuit issued an opinion affirming in part and reversing in part the judgment of the district court, and
remanding for further proceedings. On February 8, 2006, defendants filed with the Seventh Circuit a petition for rehearing with suggestion for rehearing en banc. On April 19, 2006, the Seventh Circuit ordered plaintiffs to file an
answer to the petition for rehearing, which was filed by the plaintiffs on May 3, 2006. On July 10, 2006, the Seventh Circuit denied the petition for rehearing with a minor modification to its opinion, and remanded the case to the district
court. On September 22, 2006, defendants filed a motion in the district court to dismiss some (but not all) of the remaining claims. On October 3, 2006, the defendants filed with the United States Supreme Court a petition for a writ of
certiorari seeking to appeal the Seventh Circuits decision. On January 5, 2007, the defendants petition was granted. The United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 28, 2007. On June 21, 2007, the United
States Supreme Court vacated the Seventh Circuits judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings. On November 1, 2007, the Seventh Circuit heard oral arguments for the remanded case. On January 17, 2008, the Seventh Circuit
issued an opinion adhering to its earlier opinion reversing in part the judgment of the district court, and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. On February 24, 2009, the district court granted plaintiffs
motion for class certification. The case is now proceeding in the district court and discovery is ongoing. We believe that we have valid defenses to the lawsuit.

Brieger v. Tellabs, Inc. On April 5, 2006, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois against Tellabs, Michael Birck, Richard Notebaert and current or former
Tellabs employees who, during the alleged class period of December 11, 2000, to July 1, 2003, participated on the Tellabs Investment and Administrative Committees of the Tellabs, Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (Plan).
Thereafter, two similar complaints were filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois.

The complaints allege that during
the alleged class period, the defendants allegedly breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by, among other things, continuing to offer Tellabs common stock as a Plan investment option when it was imprudent
to do so and allegedly misrepresenting and failing to disclose material information necessary for Plan participants to make informed decisions concerning the Plan. Further, certain of the defendants allegedly failed to monitor the fiduciary
activities of the fiduciaries they appointed and certain of the defendants allegedly breached their duty of loyalty by trading Tellabs stock, while taking no protective action on behalf of Plan participants. The complaints seek unspecified
restitution, damages and other relief.

On June 28, 2006, the Court consolidated all three actions and on August 14, 2006, plaintiffs filed a
consolidated class action complaint. On September 15, 2006, defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment seeking the dismissal with prejudice of all claims in the consolidated amended class action complaint.
On February 13, 2007, the court denied defendants motion and on April 17, 2007, denied Tellabs motion for leave to certify an issue for interlocutory appeal to the United States Federal Court of Appeal for the Seventh Circuit.
Plaintiffs moved to certify a class, discovery was conducted to determine the propriety of class certification, and Tellabs opposed class certification. On September 20, 2007, the court granted plaintiffs motion to certify a class. The
trial started on April 13, 2009, and ended on May 8, 2009. On June 1, 2009, the court entered judgment in favor of Tellabs on all claims. The Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on July 1, 2009. We believe that we have valid
defenses to the lawsuit.

QPSX Developments 5 Pty Ltd. v. Ciena Corporation et al. On October 1, 2007, Tellabs was served with a complaint
filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Tellabs and several other companies in a case captioned QPSX Developments 5 Pty Ltd. v. Ciena Corporation et al., Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-118. The
complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,689,499, and seeks unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as well as interest, costs, attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. On November 21, 2007,
Tellabs filed its answer, defenses and counterclaims in response to the complaint. A date for jury selection for trial has been set for November 1, 2010. A non-material financial settlement recently reached between QPSX and Tellabs is
expected to result in a dismissal of Tellabs from the QPSX litigation.

Fujitsu Network Communications Inc. v. Tellabs, Inc.On January 28,
2008, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. and Fujitsu Limited filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Tellabs in a case captioned Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. and Fujitsu Limited v.
Tellabs, Inc. and Tellabs Operations, Inc., Civil Action No. 6:08-cv-00022-LED. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,526,163, 5,521,737, 5,386,418 and 6,487,686, and seeks unspecified damages including enhanced damages,
as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. On March 21, 2008, Tellabs filed its answer, defenses and counterclaims in response to the complaint. A trial date had been set for May 10, 2010, in the Eastern
District of Texas, however on July 7, 2009, the court granted Tellabs motion to transfer and issued an order transferring the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and as such a new trial date
has not been established. We believe that we have valid defenses to the lawsuit.

Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network
Communications Inc.On June 11, 2008, Tellabs Operations, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. in a case captioned
Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. Civil Action No. 1:08-cv-3379. The complaint alleges infringement of Tellabs Operations, Inc.s U.S. Patent No. 7,369,722, and seeks unspecified
damages including enhanced damages, as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. On September 5, 2008, each of Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. served its answer, defenses and counterclaims in
response to the complaint. Fujitsu Limited also brought counterclaims against Tellabs, Inc. and Tellabs Operations, Inc. alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,533,006 and 7,227,681, seeking unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as
well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. On September 22, 2008, Tellabs Operations, Inc. filed its answer to the counterclaims of Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc., and also filed its counterclaims and reply to
counterclaims of Fujitsu Limited. On that same date, Tellabs, Inc. filed its answer and counterclaims against Fujitsu Limited. A trial date has not yet been set in the case. We believe that we have valid defenses to Fujitsus counterclaims.

Telcordia Technologies Inc. v. Tellabs, Inc.On May 4, 2009, Telcordia Technologies, Inc. filed a complaint against Tellabs in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey in a case captioned Telcordia Technologies Inc. v. Tellabs, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:33-av-00001. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,893,306, 4,835,763 and Re.
36,633, and seeks unspecified damages including enhanced damages, as well as attorney fees and other remedies including injunctive relief. We believe that we have valid defenses to the lawsuit.

Apart from the matters described above, we are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on our
historical experience for these types of litigation, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 2, 2009. The risk factors described in our Annual Report could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our company.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. We have an enterprise risk management program
which includes a periodic evaluation of our risks. As a result of the most recent evaluation we are adding the following risk factor: If we are not able to build, sustain and utilize proper information technology infrastructure effectively,
our business could suffer and updating the following risk factor: We depend on contract manufacturers and third-party service providers. There have been no other material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report.

If we are not able to build, sustain and utilize proper information technology infrastructure effectively, our business could suffer.

If we are not able to build, sustain and utilize proper information technology infrastructure, our business could suffer. We depend on information
technology as an enabler to improve the effectiveness of our operations and to interface with our customers, as well as to maintain financial accuracy and efficiency. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build,
sustain and utilize the proper technology infrastructure, we could be subject to transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, the loss of customers, inaccurate or incomplete data, business disruptions, or the loss of or damage to intellectual
property through security breach.

As our operations grow in both complexity and scope, we will continuously need to improve and upgrade our systems and
infrastructure while maintaining the reliability and integrity of our systems and infrastructure. The expansion of our systems and infrastructure may require us to commit substantial financial, operational and technical resources before the volume
of our business increases, with no assurance that the volume of business will increase. Any other upgrades to our systems and information technology, or new technology, now and in the future, will require that our management and resources be
diverted from our core business to assist implementation of such upgrades or new technology. There can be no assurance that the time and resources our management will need to devote to these upgrades, service outages or delays due to the
installation of any new or upgraded technology (and customer issues therewith), or the impact on the reliability of our data from any new or upgraded technology will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.

We depend on contract manufacturers and third-party service providers.

We have purchase agreements with contract manufacturers that require them to buy components used to manufacture our products and authorize them to buy components in
accordance with agreed-upon lead times. As customers increasingly demand shorter delivery timeframes, the difficulty of accurately forecasting component needs creates additional risk. Failure to estimate requirements accurately can lead to monetary
penalties, excess or obsolete inventory, or manufacturing disruptions. Further, since we do not, in every instance, have a contractual relationship with suppliers to our contract manufacturers, we are subject to and dependent on the terms of the
agreements between the contract manufacturer and the supplier. As a result, we have limited ability to take legal action against suppliers if a component fails or is outside of the quality standards we set. In addition, the contract
manufacturers may not allocate sufficient resources to the timely completion of our orders in accordance with our quality standards and result in significant interruptions in the supply of products to our customers. Further, if supply to our
contract manufacturers is disrupted, we may be unable to find an alternative source in a timely manner, at favorable prices or of acceptable quality. These circumstances may limit our ability to meet scheduled deliveries to customers and may
increase our expenses.

We rely on a small number of contract manufacturers to perform the majority of our product manufacturing. The qualification of
these manufacturers is an expensive and time-consuming process, and these manufacturers build products for other companies, including our competitors. We constantly review their manufacturing capability to ensure they meet our production
requirements in terms of cost, capacity and quality. Periodically, we may decide to transfer the manufacturing of a product from one contract manufacturer to another to better meet our production needs. It is possible that we may not effectively
manage this transition or the new contract manufacturer may not perform as well as expected. As a result, we may not be able to fill orders in a timely manner, which could harm our business. These limitations and the failure to deliver products on
time may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

##### Table of Contents

We rely on the use of third-party customer service providers to deliver and install products. We depend on such
third-party agents to perform key on-site services for our customers. We cannot control the availability of such resources or the quality of the services provided by such third parties. Scarcity of resources, price fluctuations, and quality or
delivery issues may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

On January 29, 2009,
our Board of Directors authorized a one-year extension of the purchase of our outstanding stock under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend to continue to use cash generated by employee stock option exercises
(other than those of company officers and board members) to repurchase stock in the manner provided under this program. As of July 3, 2009, we purchased 7.3 million shares of our common stock under this program since February 2006, at a
total cost of $91.7 million, including $19,031 (3,766 shares) in the second quarter of 2009 and $35,863 (7,788 shares) in the first six months of 2009.

In
November 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program of up to $600 million of our outstanding common stock. As of July 3, 2009, we purchased 19.7 million shares of our common stock under this program at a total cost of
$122.9 million, leaving $477.1 million available to be purchased under this program. We may repurchase shares under the authorized open market program periodically during open trading windows when we do not possess material non-public information.
On August 6, 2009, our Board of Directors directed management to actively repurchase up to $200 million of our common stock over the next four quarters under the November 2007 authorized program. We provide no assurance as to the amount of
repurchases to be made or the actual purchase prices.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2009, we purchased 0.2 million shares for $0.9 million to
cover withholding taxes on shares issued under employee stock plans and in the first six months of 2009, we purchased 0.2 million shares for $1.0 million under this program.

We record repurchased shares as Treasury stock.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote
of Security Holders

We held our annual meeting of stockholders on May 1, 2009. The results of that meeting and related disclosures can be found in
Part II, Item 4, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 3, 2009.
