Purpose of Transaction ---------------------- On June 2, 1998, Tellabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tellabs"), White Oak Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tellabs ("Sub"), and CIENA Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("CIENA"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), providing for the merger of Sub with and into CIENA (the "Merger"), with CIENA surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tellabs. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the Merger each outstanding share of CIENA Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.0 share of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Tellabs. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the directors of Sub immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger will become the directors of CIENA upon the effectiveness of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of CIENA shall be amended to provide that the authorized capital stock of CIENA will be 1,000 shares of CIENA Common Stock and the present Amended and Restated Bylaws of CIENA will remain in effect. It is anticipated that, following the consummation of the Merger, the CIENA Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market and the CIENA Common Stock will be terminated from registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 1 hereto and the description of the Merger Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference. 10 Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, in order to induce Tellabs to enter into the Merger Agreement, Billy Oliver, Patrick Nettles, Jon Bayless, Michael Zak, Harvey Cash, Clifford Higgerson and Stephen Bradley, who are all of the current directors of CIENA and Steve Chaddick and Lawrence Huang, who are key executive officers of CIENA (collectively, the "Stockholders") and who (or have the right to acquire pursuant to outstanding options) an aggregate of 6,883,025 (approximately 6.8%) of the outstanding shares of CIENA Common Stock, entered into stockholder agreements (the "Stockholder Agreements") with Tellabs (excluding Mr. Bradley's shares which shall be provided by amendment to this Schedule 13D). The Stockholder Agreements provide, among other things, that: (a) at the stockholders meeting of CIENA to be held to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement (or at any adjournment thereof) or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Merger or the Merger Agreement is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the shares of CIENA Common Stock owned by such Stockholder as of the date of the Stockholder Agreement and any other shares of capital stock of CIENA acquired by such Stockholder after the date of the Stockholder Agreement and during the term of the Stockholder Agreement (the "Subject Shares") in favor of the Merger, the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the terms thereof and each of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (b) at any meeting of stockholders of CIENA or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which the Stockholder's vote, consent or other approval is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Shares against any amendment of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of CIENA or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of CIENA which amendment would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of capital stock of CIENA; (c) the Stockholder agrees not to (i) sell (with certain limited exceptions), transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, "Transfer"), or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of the Subject Shares to any person 11 or (ii) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, in relation to the Subject Shares, and agrees not to commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions; (d) the Stockholder shall not (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage the submission of, any Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (ii) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal; and (e) the Stockholder agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with Tellabs in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The obligations of the Stockholders under the Stockholder Agreements terminate upon the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement or the effective time of the Merger. A copy of the form of Stockholder Agreement entered into between Tellabs and each such Stockholder is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto, and the description of the Stockholder Agreements contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Tellabs and CIENA also entered into a Stock Option Agreement, dated as of June 2, 1998 (the "Stock Option Agreement") pursuant to which CIENA granted Tellabs an option to purchase up to 19.9% of CIENA's Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of 20% or more of CIENA's Common Stock by any party other than Tellabs. Further details regarding the Stock Option Agreement are contained in the copy of the Stock Option Agreement filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and the description of the Stock Option Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference. 12 Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a) - (c) By reason of the Stockholder Agreements, Tellabs may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 6,883,025 shares (the "Shares") of CIENA Common Stock and may be deemed to have shared power to vote or direct the vote of the Shares or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares. The Shares represent approximately 6.8% of the outstanding shares of CIENA Common Stock, based upon the number of shares outstanding as of May 28, 1998. By virtue of the limited nature of the Stockholder Agreements, Tellabs expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares.

The Stockholder further agrees not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. (c) The Stockholder agrees not to (i) sell (except to the extent set forth in Annex A hereto), transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, "Transfer"), or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of the Subject Shares to any person or (ii) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, in relation to the Subject Shares, and agrees not to commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. 3 (d) The Stockholder shall not, nor shall the Stockholder permit any affiliate, director, officer, employee, investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of the Stockholder to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the submission of, any Takeover Proposal or (ii) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal.

Representations and Warranties. ------------------------------ The Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent as follows: (a) The Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Subject Shares. The Stockholder does not own, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of the Company other than the Subject Shares. The Stockholder has the sole right to vote, and the sole power of disposition with respect to, the Subject Shares, and none of the Subject Shares is subject to any voting trust, proxy or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting or disposition of such Subject Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement. (b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general application which may affect the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not and will not conflict with any agreement, order or other instrument binding upon the Stockholder, nor require the 4 Stockholder to make or obtain any regulatory filing or approval other than filings, if any, required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 3. Affiliate Letter. ---------------- The Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver on a timely basis an Affiliate Letter in the form of Exhibit 5.5(a) to the Merger Agreement, when and if requested by Parent. 4.

Remedies. -------- The Stockholder acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by it, and that any such breach would cause Parent irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Stockholder agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, Parent, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity it may have, shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. 5 8. Severability. ------------ The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction, or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If in the opinion of Parent's independent accountants, any provision hereof would cause the Merger to be ineligible for "pooling of interest" accounting treatment, it shall be deemed to be ineffective and inapplicable. 9. Amendment. --------- This Agreement may be amended only by means of a written instrument executed and delivered by both the Stockholder and Parent. 10. Governing Law. ------------- This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 11. Capitalized Terms. ----------------- Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined herein shall have such meanings as set forth in the Merger Agreement. 12. Counterparts. ------------ For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 6 13. No limitation on Actions of the Stockholder as Director. ------------------------------------------------------- In the event the Stockholder is a director of the Company, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to require the Stockholder to take or in any way limit any action that the Stockholder may take to discharge the Stockholder's fiduciary duties as a director of the Company.
