<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">




<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) empowers a Delaware corporation
to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending
or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, and, for
criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation
under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if
the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his duty.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation contains a
provision limiting the personal liability of its directors for violations of their fiduciary duty.
This provision eliminates each director&#146;s liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages except to the extent (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL,
providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases
or redemptions, or any amendment thereto or successor provision thereto or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the
personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their
fiduciary duty of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Registrant&#146;s by-laws
provide that it will indemnify an officer or director of the Registrant or any person serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the Registrant&#146;s request for expenses,
liabilities and losses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which such
person is a party or threatened to be made a party by reason of such service, except that the
Registrant will not indemnify any person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person
unless such proceeding was authorized by the Registrant&#146;s board of directors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased insurance which purports to insure the Registrant against certain
costs of indemnification which may be incurred by it pursuant to the By-Laws and the Restated
Certificate and to insure the officers and directors of the Registrant, and of its subsidiary
companies, against certain liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of their functions as such
officers and directors, except for liabilities resulting from their own malfeasance as described in
the By-Laws and Restated Certificate.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:9%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3)&nbsp;of the
Securities Act of 1933;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:9%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration
Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:9%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><U>Provided</U>, <U>however</U>, that paragraphs (1) (i)&nbsp;and (1) (ii)&nbsp;above do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form&nbsp;S-3, Form&nbsp;S-8 or Form&nbsp;F-3 and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefits plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
Tellabs, Inc. (the "Registrant") are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January
2, 2004, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act");
(b) the Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended

(c) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the

(d) the description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-95135) under the caption
"Description of Tellabs' Capital Stock" including all amendments and reports
filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are deemed to be incorporated by reference into
this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such
documents (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being hereinafter referred to as
"Incorporated Documents").
Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.

Item 5.

The validity of the Registrant's common stock has been passed upon by James M. Sheehan, Esq.,
the Registrant's Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. As of the date of this
filing, Mr. Sheehan beneficially owned less than one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding shares of
the Registrant's common stock.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
3
Table of Contents
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") empowers a Delaware corporation
to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending
or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests, and, for
criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation
under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if
the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his duty.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.
In accordance with the DGCL, the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation contains a
provision limiting the personal liability of its directors for violations of their fiduciary duty.
This provision eliminates each director's liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages except to the extent (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases
or redemptions, or any amendment thereto or successor provision thereto or (iv) for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the
personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their
fiduciary duty of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence.
The Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Registrant's by-laws
provide that it will indemnify an officer or director of the Registrant or any person serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the Registrant's request for expenses,
liabilities and losses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which such
person is a party or threatened to be made a party by reason of such service, except that the
Registrant will not indemnify any person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person
unless such proceeding was authorized by the Registrant's board of directors.
The Registrant has purchased insurance which purports to insure the Registrant against certain
costs of indemnification which may be incurred by it pursuant to the By-Laws and the Restated
Certificate and to insure the officers and directors of the Registrant, and of its subsidiary
companies, against certain liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of their functions as such
officers and directors, except for liabilities resulting from their own malfeasance as described in
the By-Laws and Restated Certificate.

Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1) (i) and (1) (ii) above do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
5
Table of Contents
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefits plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
