Explanation of Responses:
1/ Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. ("Philips") is filing this Form 3 as a
"director" because Philips understands that as a shareholder of Uniphase
Corporation ("Uniphase") it may be deemed a "deputized director" of Uniphase as
a result of the service of Mr. Willem Haverkamp, an employee of Philips, on the
board of directors of Uniphase. Notwithstanding the filing of this Form 3,
Philips expressly disclaims that it is or should be deemed a "deputized
director" of Uniphase for purposes of Sections 16 or for any other purpose.
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal
Violations. SEE 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
