AGREEMENT REGARDING CHANGE
OF CONTROL

This Agreement is entered into effective July 6, 1999 by and between JDS
Uniphase Inc., (the "Company"), and Zita Cobb ("Executive").

RECITALS

Executive is employed by the Company and is a valued officer of the Company.

As an inducement to Executive to remain in the employ of the Company, the Company wishes to

provide for certain rights in favour of Executive to exercise options to purchase shares of

Common Stock (as defined below) held by Executive upon a Change of Control (as defined

below) of the Company upon the terms herein provided.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises
herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section

1.Definition

For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

"Change of Control" means the occurrence of one or more of the following with
respect to the Company or with respect to JDS Uniphase Corporation:

	the acquisition by any person (or related group of persons), whether by tender or exchange offer
made directly to the shareholders, open market purchases or any other transaction or series of
transactions, of shares of the Company or of Common Stock, as the case may be, possessing sufficient
voting power in the aggregate to elect an absolute majority of the members of the Board of Directors
of the Company or of JDS Uniphase Corporation, as the case may be;
	a merger or consolidation in which the Company or JDS Uniphase Corporation, as the case may be,
is not the surviving entity, except for a transaction in which securities representing more than
fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the surviving entity are held by persons
who held shares of the Company or Common Stock, as the case maybe, immediately prior to such merger
or consolidation and the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or of JDS Uniphase
Corporation, as the case may be, immediately before such merger or consolidation constitute a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or of JDS Uniphase Corporation, as the case may
be, immediately after such merger or consolidation;
	any reverse merger in which the Company or JDS Uniphase Corporation, as the case may be, is the
surviving entity but in which either securities representing more than fifty (50%) of the total
combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company or of JDS Uniphase Corporation,
as the case maybe, are transferred or issued to holders different from those who held such
securities immediately prior to such merger or those members of the Board of Directors of the
Company or of JDS Uniphase Corporation, as the case may be, immediately before such merger do not
constitute a majority of the Board of Directors immediately after such merger; or
	the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
or of JDS Uniphase Corporation, as the case may be;

 

but any such event in respect of the Company that does not result in any change in the beneficial
ownership of the Company by JDS Uniphase Corporation is deemed not to be a Change of Control.

"Closing Date" means the date of the first closing of the transaction constituting a Change of
Control. "Common Stock" means the aggregate of:

(a)     the issued and outstanding $.001 par value, common stock of JDS Uniphase
Corporation; and,

(b)     the issued and outstanding exchangeable shares in the capital of 3506967 Canada
Inc. (the name of which has been or will be changed to JDS Uniphase Canada
Ltd.), an indirect subsidiary of JDS Uniphase Corporation;

"Executive's Stock Options" shall mean any options to purchase Common Stock
held by Executive that have been issued to Executive by the Company or by JDS Uniphase
Corporation prior to a Closing Date.

Section 2.    Acceleration of
Options on a Change in
Control

The Company agrees that the right of Executive to exercise the Executive's Stock Options shall be
accelerated as of the Closing Date of a Change of Control so that Executive's Stock Options shall
become fully exercisable as of the Closing Date as to all shares of the Common Stock subject thereto
and, subject to the terms of this Section 2, remain exercisable thereafter in accordance with their
terms. The foregoing acceleration of the right of Executive to exercise Executive's Stock Options
shall apply notwithstanding any contrary terms in any stock option plan pursuant to which such
Options are granted or any stock option agreement executed by the Company or by JDS Uniphase
Corporation with respect to Executive's Stock Options, including, without limitation, any stock
option plan terms that are adopted or any stock option agreement executed after the date hereof.
Such acceleration of the exercisability of the Executive's Stock Options shall apply and occur
without further action on the part of the Company, its Board of Directors, stockholders, Executive
or any other party. As a condition to an acceleration of the Executive's Stock Options as provided
in this Section 2, Executive agrees that Executive's Stock Options shall terminate as of the Closing
Date to the extent unexercised as of such Closing Date if the terms and conditions of such Change of
Control require that all employee stock options terminate as of such Closing Date. In no event shall
this Section 2 be interpreted to cause the Executive's Stock Options to be exercisable for a greater
number of shares of Common Stock than were subject to the Executive's Stock Options immediately
prior to the Closing Date.

Section 3.    No Employment
Agreement

Except as previously herein provided. Executive and the Company each acknowledge and agree that
this Agreement does not provide for the terms and conditions of Executive's employment with the
Company and does not require or obligate Executive to provide services to the Company or the Company
to continue to employ Executive.

Section 4.    Notices

All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or mailed, postage prepaid, by
