SUMMARY
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We
have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that
contained in this prospectus. We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to
buy, shares of common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are
permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of
the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this
prospectus or of any sale of our common stock. In this prospectus, references
to "Emulex," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Emulex Corporation.
Our Company
Emulex is a leading designer, developer and supplier of a broad line of
fibre channel host adapters, hubs, application-specific computer chips, known
as ASICs, and software products that enhance access to and storage of
electronic data and applications. Fibre channel is a new generation of computer
to storage peripheral communication technology that improves data
communications speeds, connectivity, distance of connection and access. We
believe that we are the only company that designs, develops and markets both
fibre channel host adapters, which are circuit boards that enable host
computers to provide a fibre channel network connection, and hubs, which are
centralized wiring and management points for interconnected host computers and
storage subsystems. These hubs and host adapters are two of the core components
of a complete fibre channel solution.
Our products are based on internally developed ASIC technology, are
deployable across a variety of heterogeneous network configurations and
operating systems, and support increasing volumes of stored data. We believe
our products offer our customers the unique combination of critical
reliability, scalability, high performance and customization for mission-
critical servers and storage systems. Our fibre channel development efforts
began in 1992, we shipped our first fibre channel product in volume in 1996 and
we believe we are currently the leading independent manufacturer of fibre
channel host adapters. Over the course of our history, we have also designed,
developed and marketed traditional networking products, such as printer servers
and network access products.
In recent years, the volume of stored electronic data in enterprises has
expanded significantly, due largely to the growth of data-intensive
applications such as online transaction processing, data mining, data
warehousing, multimedia and Internet applications. With the dramatic increase
in information storage and retrieval requirements, system performance has
become increasingly constrained by traditional data communications technologies
such as Small Computer Systems Interface, or SCSI, the currently prevailing
high-performance data communications technology. SCSI creates constraints on
the size of the network and bottlenecks between storage subsystems and
computers due to its limited data communications speeds, connectivity, distance
of connection and access. Fibre channel is a new technology introduced to
overcome the limitations of traditional data communications technologies. Fibre
channel offers the connectivity, distance and access benefits of networking
architectures combined with the high performance and quick response needed for
data storage applications. According to emf Associates, the market for fibre
channel hubs and host adapters is expected to expand from approximately
$384 million in 1998 to $3.4 billion in 2003.
Our objective is to be a leading supplier of high-availability, high-
performance fibre channel solutions. We believe that we have established a
leadership position in the fibre channel host adapter market, and we intend to
leverage this position to address additional opportunities in the fibre channel
market. Key elements of our strategy include the following:
. Focus our resources and leverage our technology to develop, market and
supply superior fibre channel storage solutions;
. Address the evolving fibre channel market by offering solutions that meet
a broad range of customer needs and by increasing our range of
distribution channels to properly serve this expanding market; and
. Expand strategic and customer relationships to ensure interoperability,
to drive the proliferation of end-to-end fibre channel solutions, to
secure significant customer relationships and to capture more market
share.

We market and sell our products primarily to computer and storage systems
original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, which are customers that incorporate
our products with their own before selling the final bundled solution to end
users. To a lesser extent, we sell through two-tier distribution channels. As
an early market entrant with a high-performance networked storage connectivity
solution, we have leveraged our expertise to achieve over 90 design wins and
secure significant customer relationships with over 20 key OEMs, including
Compaq, Data General, EMC, Hitachi, IBM, Sequent and Siemens.

RISK FACTORS
We have experienced losses in our history.
We incurred a net loss of approximately $10.8 million for the fiscal year
ended June 28, 1998. In fiscal year 1998, we had $1.9 million of incremental
inventory reserves and $10.6 million of consolidation charges in conjunction
with the planned closure of our Puerto Rico manufacturing operations. While we
have generated net income for nine of the last 10 quarters through the quarter
ended March 28, 1999, we cannot be certain that revenues will remain at current
levels or improve or that we will be profitable at such revenue levels.
Our operating results are difficult to forecast and may be adversely affected
by many factors.
Our revenues and results of operations have varied on a quarterly basis in
the past and potentially may vary significantly in the future. Accordingly, we
believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not
necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely on such comparisons as
indications of our future performance. Our revenues and results of operations
are difficult to forecast and could be adversely affected by factors which
include:
. The size, timing and terms of customer orders;
. The relatively long sales and deployment cycles for our products,
particularly those sold through our OEM sales channels;
. Changes in our operating expenses;
. Our ability to develop and market new products;
. The ability of our contract manufacturer to produce and distribute our
products in a timely fashion;
. The market acceptance of our new fibre channel products;
. The timing of the introduction or enhancement of products by us, our OEM
customers and our competitors;
. The level of product and price competition;
. Our ability to expand our relationships with OEMs and distributors;
. Activities of and acquisitions by our competitors;
. Changes in technology, industry standards or consumer preferences;
. Changes in the mix of products sold, as our fibre channel products
typically have higher margins than our traditional networking products;
. Changes in the mix of sales channels;
. The level of international sales;
. Seasonality;
. Personnel changes;
. Changes in customer budgeting cycles;
. Foreign currency exchange rates; and
. General economic conditions.
As a result of these and other factors, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
4
<PAGE>
There are other factors which contribute to the variability of our sales as
well. We generally ship products quickly after we receive orders, meaning that
we do not typically have a significant backlog of unfilled orders. As a result,
our revenues in a given quarter depend substantially on orders booked in that
quarter. Also, we typically generate a large percentage of our quarterly
revenues in the last month of the quarter. Additionally, OEM customers tend to
order sporadically, and their purchases can vary significantly from quarter to
quarter.
A decrease in the number of orders we receive is likely to adversely and
disproportionately affect our quarterly results of operations. This is because
our expense levels are partially based on our expectations of future sales and
our expenses may be disproportionately large as compared to sales in a quarter
with reduced orders. Hence, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely
manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Any shortfall in
sales in relation to our quarterly expectations or any delay of customer orders
would likely have an immediate and adverse impact on our business, quarterly
results of operations and financial condition.
Our business depends upon the development of the fibre channel market, and our
revenues will be limited if such development does not occur or occurs more
slowly than we anticipate.
The size of our potential market is dependent upon the broad acceptance of
fibre channel technology as an alternative to other technologies traditionally
utilized for network and storage communications. The fibre channel market,
while rapidly evolving and attracting an increasing number of market
participants, is still at an early stage of development. We believe the fibre
channel market will continue to expand and that our investment in the fibre
channel market represents our greatest opportunity for revenue growth and
profitability in the future. However, we cannot be certain that fibre channel
products will gain broader market acceptance or that customers will choose our
technology and products. Fibre channel products accounted for 51 percent of our
net revenues for the nine months ended March 28, 1999. If the fibre channel
market fails to develop, develops more slowly than anticipated or attracts more
competitors than we expect (as discussed below), our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. A
similar result would occur if our products do not achieve market acceptance.
Alternative technologies such as SCSI compete with fibre channel technology
for customers. Some SCSI technology companies already have well-established
relationships with our current and potential customers, have extensive
knowledge of the markets we serve and have better name recognition and more
extensive development, sales and marketing resources than we have. Our success
also depends both on our own ability and on the ability of our OEM customers to
develop fibre channel solutions that are competitive with other technologies.
Ultimately, our business depends upon our ability, along with the ability of
our OEM customers, to convince end users to adopt fibre channel technology.
While we have secured numerous design wins for our fibre channel products
from OEM customers, nearly all of these customers are still at the very early
stages of initial commercial shipments or at the developmental stage of
incorporating fibre channel into their systems. Only a limited number of OEM
customers are in full commercial production of products that incorporate our
fibre channel products. If our developmental and early stage customers are
unable to or otherwise do not ship systems that incorporate our products, or if
their shipped systems are not commercially successful, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
The loss of one or more customers could harm our revenues.
For the nine months ended March 28, 1999, sales to our top customer, IBM,
represented 19 percent of our net revenues. In the comparable period of the
prior fiscal year, sales to Sequent Computer Systems represented 15 percent of
net revenues, and IBM represented 10 percent of net revenues. Sales to our top
five customers accounted for 50 percent of net revenues for the nine months
ended March 28, 1999 and for 42 percent of net
5
<PAGE>
revenues for the nine months ended March 29, 1998. In each of these periods,
four of our top five customers were OEMs. Although we have attempted to expand
our base of OEM customers, our revenues in the future may nonetheless be
similarly derived from a limited number of OEM customers.
The failure of one or more of our significant customers to timely make payments
could adversely affect our business.
We are also subject to credit risk associated with the concentration of our
accounts receivable from our customers. If we were to lose one of our current
significant customers or did not receive their payments due to us, we could
experience a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The loss of one or more of our OEM or distributor customers could adversely
affect our business.
We rely almost exclusively on OEMs and distributors for our sales. For the
nine months ended March 28, 1999, we derived approximately 74 percent of our
net revenues from OEMs and 23 percent from distributors. In fiscal 1998, we
derived approximately 71 percent of our net revenues from OEMs and 25 percent
from distributors. We cannot be certain that we will retain our current OEM and
distributor customers or that we will be able to recruit additional or
replacement customers. As is common in an emerging technology industry, our
agreements with OEMs and distributors are typically non-exclusive and often may
be terminated by either party without cause. Indeed, many of our OEM and
distributor customers carry or utilize competing product lines. If we were to
suddenly lose one or more important OEM or distributor customers to a
competitor, our business, results of operations and financial condition could
be materially adversely affected.
Some of our OEM customers could become competitors.
Some of our OEM customers could develop products internally that would
replace our products. The resulting reduction in sales of our products to our
OEM customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our industries are subject to rapid technological change, and we must keep pace
with the changes to successfully compete.
The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards and the frequent introduction of new
products and enhancements. Our future success depends in a large part on our
ability to enhance our existing products and to introduce new products on a
timely basis to meet changes in customer preferences and evolving industry
standards. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in developing,
manufacturing and marketing new products or product enhancements that respond
to such changes in a timely manner and achieve market acceptance. We also
cannot be certain that we will be able to develop the underlying core
technologies necessary to create new products and enhancements, or that we will
be able to license the core technologies from third parties.
A key element of our business strategy is to develop multiple ASICs in order
to increase system performance and reduce manufacturing costs, thereby
enhancing the price/performance of our fibre channel products. We cannot be
certain that we will be successful at developing and incorporating ASICs
effectively and in a timely manner. Additionally, changes in technology and
consumer preference could potentially render our current products uncompetitive
or obsolete. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop
new products or enhance existing products in a timely manner in response to
technological and market changes, our business, results of operations and
financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
6
<PAGE>
The failure of our OEM customers to keep up with rapid technological change
could adversely affect our business.
Our revenues depend significantly upon the ability and willingness of our
OEM customers to develop and promote products on a timely basis that
incorporate our technology. The ability and willingness of OEM customers to
develop and promote such products is based upon a number of factors, such as:
. The timely development by us and our OEM customers of new products with
new functionality, increased speed and enhanced performance at acceptable
prices;
. The development costs facing our OEM customers;
. The compatibility of new products with both existing and emerging
industry standards;
. Technological advances;
. Intellectual property issues; and
. Competition in general.
We cannot be certain of the ability or willingness of our OEM customers to
continue developing, marketing and selling products that incorporate our
technology. Our business is dependent on our relationships with our OEM and
distributor customers, so the inability or unwillingness of any of our
significant customers to develop or promote products which use our technology
would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
A significant percentage of our revenues are from product lines which are being
phased out.
We have shifted the focus of our business to fibre channel technology.
However, our revenues still depend significantly on sales of our traditional
networking products. These traditional networking products accounted for 49
percent of our net revenues for the nine months ended March 28, 1999. If the
maturation of these products were to occur faster than we anticipate, our
business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially
adversely affected.
Our markets are highly competitive.
The markets for our products are highly competitive and are characterized by
rapid technological advances, price erosion, frequent new product introductions
and evolving industry standards. Our current and potential competition consists
of major domestic and international companies, many of which have substantially
greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources than we
have. We expect that an increasing number of companies will enter the markets
for our products, particularly the new and evolving fibre channel market.
Furthermore, larger companies in other related industries may develop or
acquire technologies and apply their significant resources, such as
distribution channels and brand recognition, to acquire significant market
share. Emerging companies attempting to obtain a share of the existing markets
act as potential competition as well. Our competitors continue to introduce
products with improved price/performance characteristics, and we will have to
do the same to remain competitive. Increased competition could result in
significant price competition, reduced revenues, lower profit margins or loss
of market share, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot be certain
that we will be able to compete successfully against either current or
potential competitors in the future.
In the fibre channel market, we compete primarily against Hewlett-Packard,
QLogic Corporation, Vixel, Gadzoox Microsystems and several smaller companies
to a lesser extent. In the printer server market, we compete directly against a
number of smaller companies and indirectly against Hewlett-Packard and Lexmark,
the two largest printer vendors, both of which primarily use their own
internally-developed printer servers. In the network access market, we compete
against numerous networking companies who offer network access solutions.
7
<PAGE>
As is common in an emerging technology industry with non-exclusive
development arrangements, many of our OEM customers arrange second source
agreements to meet their requirements. Furthermore, in the future our OEM
customers may develop products that compete with ours or purchase from our
competitors and may terminate their relationships with us as a result.
A decrease in the average unit selling prices of our fibre channel products
could adversely affect our business.
As the market for fibre channel products matures, it is likely that we will
experience downward pressure on the average unit selling prices of our fibre
channel products. To the extent that average unit selling prices of our fibre
channel products decrease without a corresponding decrease in the costs of such
products, our gross margins and financial performance could be materially
adversely affected.
Delays in product development could adversely affect our business.
We have experienced delays in product development in the past and may
experience similar delays in the future. Given the short product life cycles in
the markets for our products, any delay or unanticipated difficulty associated
with new product introductions or product enhancements could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Prior delays have resulted from numerous factors, such as:
. Changing OEM product specifications;
. Difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary personnel;
. Difficulties in reallocating engineering resources and other resource
limitations;
. Difficulties with independent contractors;
. Changing market or competitive product requirements;
.Unanticipated engineering complexity;
. Undetected errors or failures in software and hardware; and
.Delays in the acceptance or shipment of products by OEM customers.
Our joint development activities may result in products that are not
commercially successful or that are not available in a timely fashion.
We have engaged in joint development projects with third parties in the past
and we expect to continue doing so in the future. Joint development creates
several risks for us, including the loss of control over development of aspects
of the jointly-developed products and over the timing of product availability.
Accordingly, we face the risk that joint development activities will result in
products that are not commercially successful or that are not available in a
timely fashion.
The loss of third-party suppliers or our contract manufacturer could adversely
affect our business.
We rely on third-party suppliers for components which are used in our
products, and we have experienced delays or difficulty in securing components
in the past. Key components that we use in our products may only be available
from single sources with which we do not have long-term contracts. In
particular, Intel is currently our sole supplier for microprocessors used in
our fibre channel products. IBM and Hewlett-Packard are currently our sole
suppliers for components that enable our fibre channel products to connect to
networks. Motorola is currently our sole supplier of memory devices
incorporated into our fibre channel products. In addition, we rely on LSI
Logic, Chip Express and VLSI to manufacture ASICs for our products. The
8
<PAGE>
components we use for our fibre channel products are based on an emerging
technology and may not be available with the performance characteristics or in
the quantities that we require. Our future inability to supply products due to
a lack of components or our inability to redesign products to accept
alternatives in a timely manner would materially adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
Because we transitioned the production of our products to a contract
manufacturer, K*TEC Electronics, a division of Kent Electronics Corporation, we
plan to maintain only a minimal supply of product components. We now rely on
K*TEC Electronics to complete the majority of the component purchases for our
products. Consequently, we cannot be certain that the necessary components will
be available to meet our future requirements at favorable prices, if at all.
Moreover, because we rely on K*TEC Electronics to manufacture, store and ship
our products, if K*TEC Electronics is unable or unwilling to complete
production runs for us in the future, or experiences any significant delays in
completing production runs or shipping product, the manufacturing and sale of
our products would be temporarily suspended. An interruption in supply of our
products and the cost of qualifying and shifting production to an alternative
manufacturing facility would have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
A decrease in the demand for high performance computer and storage systems
could adversely affect our business.
A significant portion of our products are currently used in high-performance
computer and storage systems. Our fibre channel growth has been supported by
increasing demands for sophisticated networking and data storage solutions
which support enterprise computing requirements, including on-line transaction
processing, data mining, data warehousing, multimedia and Internet
applications. Should there be a slowing in the growth of demand for such
systems, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.
The inadequacy of our intellectual property protections could adversely affect
our business.
We believe that our continued success depends primarily on continuing
innovation, marketing and technical expertise, as well as the quality of
product support and customer relations. At the same time, our success is
partially dependent on the proprietary technology contained in our products. We
currently rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
secret laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect our
intellectual property rights in our products. For a more complete description
of our intellectual property, you should read "Business--Intellectual
Property." We cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our
intellectual property will adequately protect our proprietary rights, that
others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or
superior technology or that we can maintain such technology as trade secrets.
In addition, the laws of some of the countries in which our products are or may
be developed, manufactured or sold may not protect our products and
intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United
States or at all. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Third-party claims of infringement of their intellectual property could
adversely affect our business.
We believe that our products and technology do not infringe on the
intellectual property rights of others or upon intellectual property rights
that may be granted in the future pursuant to pending applications. We also
believe that we will not be required to obtain licenses of technology owned by
other parties. However, we occasionally receive communications from third
parties alleging patent infringement, and there is always the chance that third
parties may assert infringement claims against us. Any such claims, with or
without merit, could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays
or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. We cannot be
certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be
obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such
royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our
business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially
adversely affected.
9
<PAGE>
The loss of key technical personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the performance and
continued service of engineers involved in the development of our fibre channel
technology and technical support of fibre channel products and customers. Our
future success depends upon our ability to attract, train and retain such
personnel. We will need to increase the number of technical staff members with
experience in high-speed networking applications as we further develop the
fibre channel product line. Competition for such highly skilled employees in
our industry is intense, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in
recruiting and retaining such personnel. In addition, employees may leave our
company and subsequently compete against us. The loss of these key technical
employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our international business activities subject us to risks that could adversely
affect our business.
During the nine months ended March 28, 1999, sales in the United States
accounted for 67 percent of our net revenues, sales in Europe accounted for 28
percent of our net revenues, and sales in the Pacific Rim countries accounted
for five percent of our net revenues. During the nine months ended March 29,
1998, sales in the United States accounted for 67 percent of net revenues,
sales in Europe accounted for 25 percent of our net revenues, and sales in the
Pacific Rim countries accounted for eight percent of our net revenues. We
expect that sales in the United States and Europe will continue to account for
the substantial majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future.
We encounter risks inherent in international operations. All of our sales
are currently denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, if the value of the
U.S. dollar increases relative to foreign currencies, our products could become
less competitive in international markets. Our international business
activities could be limited or disrupted by any of the following factors:
. The imposition of governmental controls and regulatory requirements;
. The costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;
. Restrictions on the export of technology;
. Financial and stock market dislocations;
. Longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
. Potentially adverse tax consequences;
. The repatriation of earnings;
. The burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;
. Trade restrictions; and
. Changes in tariffs.
In addition, the revenues we earn in various countries in which we do
business may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, thereby
adversely affecting our earnings. These factors could harm future sales of our
products to international customers and have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Export restrictions may adversely affect our business.
Our fibre channel products are subject to U.S. Department of Commerce export
control restrictions. Neither we nor our customers may export such products
without obtaining an export license. These U.S. export laws also prohibit the
export of our fibre channel products to a number of countries deemed by the
United States to be hostile. These restrictions may make foreign competitors
facing less stringent controls on
10
<PAGE>
their products more competitive in the global market than we or our fibre
channel customers are. The U.S. government may not approve any pending or
future export license requests. In addition, the list of products and countries
for which export approval is required, and the regulatory policies with respect
thereto, could be revised. The sale of our fibre channel products could be
harmed by our failure or the failure of our customers to obtain the required
licenses or by the costs of compliance.
Our business may be harmed by Year 2000 issues.
Many existing computer systems and applications use two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. These programs were designed without
considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If such programs
are not corrected, many computer systems could fail or create erroneous results
at or beyond the year 2000. We consider a product to be "Year 2000 compliant"
if the product's performance and functionality are unaffected by the processing
of dates prior to, during and after the year 2000. We believe that our current
products are all Year 2000 compliant. However, older products which we
previously sold, and which may still be covered under warranties, may not be
Year 2000 compliant. We are prepared to update these older products as required
under warranty for all issues that we have been able to identify. However, we
cannot be certain that all potential Year 2000 issues have been identified or
that the issues will be successfully resolved to the customers' satisfaction.
Consequently, customers may bring litigation against vendors, including us. Any
such claims, with or without merit, could result in a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have committed resources in an attempt to identify and correct potential
Year 2000 issues, both in our products and in our internal computer systems and
applications. We have also committed resources in an attempt to identify the
Year 2000 issues of third parties which could impact us. We believe we have
identified and corrected, or have a plan in place to correct, any Year 2000
issues related to our products and internal computer systems. However, we rely
in various ways, both domestically and internationally, upon government
agencies, utility companies, telecommunication companies and other service
providers. Therefore we are in the process of completing a survey of our
suppliers, contract manufacturer and financial institutions to evaluate their
Year 2000 compliance plans. We will also use the survey to determine whether
any Year 2000 issues will impede the ability of any of our suppliers to
continue to provide us with goods and services. We are currently conducting a
survey of our customers. We cannot be certain that all of our suppliers,
government agencies, customers, financial institutions and other third parties
will not suffer business disruptions caused by a Year 2000 issue. Our
management believes that there are two most likely worst case scenarios related
to the Year 2000 issue that we may experience. The first would be an inability
to obtain inventory components from suppliers due to Year 2000 problems they
experience. The second would be delays in receiving orders or payments from
customers due to Year 2000 problems they experience. Either of the two
scenarios could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
As we have not yet completed our full Year 2000 assessment, we have not
developed a contingency plan. We anticipate that our full Year 2000 review,
necessary remediation actions and contingency plan will be substantially
complete by the end of June 1999. Although this process has not generated any
material expenditures to date, and we do not currently foresee any in the
future, the costs related to this issue will continue to evolve as we identify
and address the remaining issues. Although we do not believe that the Year 2000
issue will pose any significant operational problems, there could be delays in
our efforts to address the Year 2000 issue or we could fail to fully identify
all Year 2000 issues in our systems, equipment or processes, or those of third
parties which affect us. Such delays or failures could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may need additional capital in the future and such additional financing may
not be available.
We currently anticipate that our available cash resources, combined with the
net proceeds from this offering and financing available through our credit
facility, will be sufficient to meet our expected working
11
<PAGE>
capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
However, we cannot assure you that such resources will be sufficient for
anticipated or unanticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. We may need to raise additional funds through public or private
debt or equity financings in order to:
. Take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, including more rapid
international expansion or acquisitions of complementary businesses or
technologies;
. Develop new products or services; or
. Respond to unanticipated competitive pressures.
We may also raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity
financings if such financings become available on favorable terms. We cannot
assure you that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms
favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not
available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of
unanticipated opportunities, develop new products or services or otherwise
respond to unanticipated competitive pressures. In any such case, our business,
results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.
Potential acquisitions may be more costly or less profitable than anticipated.
We may pursue acquisitions that could provide new technologies, products or
service offerings. Future acquisitions may involve the use of significant
amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity or equity-linked
securities, incurrence of debt, or amortization expenses related to goodwill
and other intangible assets.
In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:
. Difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies,
products and personnel of the acquired company;
. The diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;
. Risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior
experience; and
. The potential loss of key employees of the acquired company.
We currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any such
acquisition. In the event that such an acquisition does occur and we are unable
to successfully integrate businesses, products, technologies or personnel that
we acquire, our business, results of operations and financial condition could
be materially adversely affected.
You will suffer dilution in the value of your shares.
Investors in this offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution in
the net tangible book value per share of our common stock.
Our stock price is volatile.
The stock market in general, and the stock prices in technology-based
companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has
been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public companies.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely
to fluctuate in the future as well. Any of the following factors could have a
significant impact on the market price of our common stock:
. Quarterly variations in operating results;
. Announcements of new products by us or our competitors;
12
<PAGE>
. The gain or loss of significant customers;
. Changes in analysts' earnings estimates;
. Pricing pressures;
. Short-selling of our common stock;
. General conditions in the computer, storage or communications markets; or
. Events affecting other companies that investors deem to be comparable to
us.
Investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock at or
above the offering price. In the past, companies that have experienced
volatility in the market price of their stock have been the object of
securities class action litigation. If we were the object of securities class
action litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of
management's attention and resources.
We do not plan to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future
earnings, if any, to finance the growth and expansion of our business and for
general corporate purposes. In addition, the terms of our credit facility
prohibit us from paying dividends on our capital stock.
Our stockholder rights plan, certificate of incorporation and Delaware law
could adversely affect the performance of our stock.
Our stockholder rights plan and provisions of our certificate of
incorporation and of the Delaware General Corporation Law could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial
to our stockholders. The stockholder rights plan and these provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and Delaware law are intended to encourage
potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow our board of directors the
opportunity to consider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing
stockholder value. However, such provisions may also discourage acquisition
proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock
price. You should read "Description of Capital Stock" for more information on
the anti-takeover effects of provisions of our stockholder rights plan, our
certificate of incorporation and Delaware law.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds we will receive from the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common
stock offered by us at an assumed public offering price of $45 and after
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses
payable by us are estimated to be $84.3 million (or $97.6 million if the
underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). We will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholder.
We intend to use the proceeds of this offering primarily for working capital
and general corporate purposes, including the funding of research and
development of new products. We may also use a portion of the proceeds for
acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies, although we
currently have no commitments or agreements for any such acquisitions. Pending
such uses, we expect to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-
bearing, investment grade securities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This prospectus, including the following Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this
prospectus, the words "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan" and
"expect" and similar expressions as they relate to us are included to identify
forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Risk Factors"
and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
Emulex is a leading designer, developer and supplier of a broad line of
fibre channel host adapters, hubs, ASICs and software products that enhance
access to and storage of electronic data and applications. We believe that we
are the only company that designs, develops and markets both fibre channel host
adapters and hubs, two of the core components of a complete fibre channel
solution. Our products are based on internally-developed ASIC technology, are
deployable across a variety of heterogeneous network configurations and
operating systems, and support increasing volumes of stored data. Over the
course of our history, we have also designed, developed and marketed
traditional networking products such as printer servers and network access
products.
Our company was founded in 1979 as a supplier of end-user storage solutions
for the Digital Equipment Corporation, or DEC, aftermarket. In June 1992, we
discontinued the DEC storage business and operated as two divisions, one
focusing on traditional networking products and one focusing on SCSI peripheral
controller devices. In 1994, we spun off our SCSI business as a separately
traded public company, QLogic. Since 1995, we have been transitioning our
resources from traditional networking products to the design, sale and
marketing of fibre channel products.
We derive our revenues primarily from the sale of fibre channel products and
traditional networking products to computer and storage systems OEMs. Revenues
from fibre channel products are derived primarily from the sale of fibre
channel host adapter products and, to a lesser extent, fibre channel hub
products. Revenues from traditional networking products are derived primarily
from the sale of printer servers and network access products. As a result of
product maturation, revenues we have derived from traditional networking
products have declined, and we expect that revenues from these traditional
networking products will continue to decline in the future as we continue to
focus more of our resources on the fibre channel market. We primarily sell our
products directly to OEMs and, to a lesser extent, through two-tier
distribution channels. We expect revenues from OEMs to continue to be the
majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future. For a new OEM, the initial
sales and design cycle, from first contact through design win to first customer
shipment, can vary from 12 to 18 months or more. We expect that this cycle will
decrease as fibre channel technology and the fibre channel market develop. Our
OEM concentration may decrease if a two-tier distribution channel for fibre
channel develops.
We recognize revenue at the time product is shipped from our contract
manufacturer to our customers. We sell to our distribution customers under a
standard purchase agreement which provides for price protection, and also
provides for stock rotation based on a percentage of actual revenues for the
preceding quarter when requested with an offsetting order shippable in the next
90 days. We reserve for estimated stock rotation and price protection rights,
as well as for uncollectable accounts based on experience. We sell to our OEMs
with no right of return except under warranty. We provide a warranty of between
two and five years on all of our products, and we provide a reserve for
warranty costs at the time of shipment based on our actual historic experience
rate. The workmanship of our products is warranted by our contract
manufacturer. Typically the standard components used in our products are
warranted by the manufacturer for both workmanship and function.

In the quarter ended December 27, 1998, we completed our transition to
outsource all of our board assembly, distribution and repair operations and
most of our materials management to K*TEC Electronics, headquartered in
Houston, Texas. Our strategy with this transition is to reduce the future
demands on our working capital for capital equipment and to leverage the
efficiencies of our supplier's consolidated purchasing power and materials
management capabilities to reduce average cost of goods sold. We also outsource
the manufacturing of our ASICs and gate arrays to several third-party
manufacturers who ship these components to K*TEC Electronics for assembly.
Although we continue to design all of our products internally, we use
independent third parties to develop some of our software drivers.
While in recent quarters we have been profitable, a risk exists that we
could experience variable earnings levels, including losses. Historically, a
large percentage of our product shipments have occurred late in a quarter.
Shifting of shipments between quarters can have a disproportionate impact on
our results of operations.

(1) Fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounts have been reclassified to conform to our
fiscal 1999 presentation.
Nine months ended March 28, 1999 compared to nine months ended March 29, 1998
Net revenues. Net revenues for the nine months ended March 28, 1999 were
$48.0 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or six percent, compared to $45.5
million of net revenues for the nine months ended March 29, 1998. Net revenues
from our fibre channel product line for the nine months ended March 28, 1999
were $24.6 million, or 51 percent of net revenues, compared to $14.4 million,
or 32 percent of net revenues, for the nine months ended March 29, 1998. This
increase in revenue from our fibre channel product line is primarily the result
of increased market acceptance of our fibre channel products.
18
<PAGE>
Net revenues from our traditional networking products accounted for $23.4
million, or 49 percent of net revenues, for the nine months ended March 28,
1999, compared to $31.1 million, or 68 percent of net revenues, for the nine
months ended March 29, 1998. This decrease in net revenues from our traditional
networking products was principally due to lower average unit selling prices,
ongoing maturation of this product sector and a decrease in our focus on this
line of products.
As the market for our traditional networking products matures and as we
focus more of our resources on the fibre channel market, we expect that fibre
channel product sales will represent a larger percentage of revenues and that
total sales of our traditional networking products will decrease. We anticipate
that future revenues from our fibre channel product line will be a function of
continued demand from OEMs which are currently shipping fibre channel products,
launches of new fibre channel-based systems by our current OEMs, additional
design wins with new OEM customers and increased sales through other
distribution channels as the fibre channel market continues to develop.
Although fibre channel represented 51 percent of net revenues for the nine
months ended March 28, 1999, fibre channel is an emerging technology, and we
cannot assure you that our products will adequately meet the requirements of
the market or achieve market acceptance. Additionally, because our fibre
channel products are part of an integrated system, our success in the fibre
channel market will depend in part upon the development and availability of
other interoperable fibre channel products by third parties. Furthermore, our
fibre channel products are dependent upon components supplied by third parties.
We cannot assure you that these components will be available at a competitive
price and in the quantities desired or, if available, will function as needed.
In the nine months ended March 28, 1999, sales to IBM accounted for 19
percent of net revenues, and no other customer accounted for more than 10
percent of our net revenues. In the nine months ended March 29, 1998, sales to
Sequent accounted for 15 percent of net revenues and IBM accounted for 10
percent of net revenues, and no other customer accounted for more than 10
percent of our net revenues. Sales to our top five customers accounted for
50 percent of net revenues in the nine months ended March 28, 1999, as compared
to 42 percent in the nine months ended March 29, 1998. International revenues
accounted for 33 percent of net revenues in the nine months ended March 28,
1999 and March 29, 1998.
Gross profit. Cost of products sold includes the cost of production of
finished products, as well as support costs and other expenses related to
inventory management, manufacturing quality and order fulfillment. For the nine
months ended March 28, 1999, gross profit was $19.3 million, an increase of
$2.1 million, or 12 percent, compared to $17.1 million for the nine months
ended March 29, 1998. Gross margin increased to 40 percent in the nine months
ended March 28, 1999, from 38 percent in the nine months ended March 29, 1998.
In conjunction with the planned closure of our Puerto Rico manufacturing
operations and transition to subcontract manufacturing, during the quarter
ended March 29, 1998 we recorded $1.9 million of incremental excess and
obsolete inventory reserves in cost of sales, exclusive of the reductions in
inventory related to the streamlining of our product lines included in the
consolidation charges discussed below. Excluding this incremental inventory
reserve charge, gross profit would have been $19.0 million and gross margin
would have been 42 percent for the nine months ended March 29, 1998.
During fiscal 1998, and continuing through the nine months ended March 28,
1999, we have experienced declining average unit selling prices and
corresponding reductions in the gross margins of our traditional networking
products. We expect this trend to continue. Gross margins in our traditional
networking products are lower than gross margins for our fibre channel
products. Our fibre channel products did not experience significant reductions
in average unit selling prices during fiscal 1998 and through the nine months
ended March 28, 1999, but we expect that average unit selling prices for these
products will also decline over time. We have agreed to contracted price
reductions with most of our OEM customers. Typically these reductions are
achieved by reaching volume milestones during the life of the contract. It is
likely that we will continue this practice in the future. In addition, our
gross margins of fibre channel products may be impacted if there is a
significant shift in the mix of our products from adapters to hubs or from
high-end adapters to lower-priced adapters. Our strategy is to maintain overall
gross margins where possible, despite expected future erosion in the average
unit selling price, by continuing to reduce the cost of our fibre channel
19
<PAGE>
products through a combination of volume efficiencies, cost-reduced designs and
diversification of our component-supplier base.
Engineering and development. Engineering and development expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in the design,
development and technical support of our products. These expenses include
third-party fees paid to consultants, prototype development expenses and
computer services costs related to supporting computer tools used in the design
process. Engineering and development expenses for the nine months ended March
28, 1999 were $8.3 million, an increase of $201,000, or two percent, compared
to $8.1 million for the nine months ended March 29, 1998. Because of the
technical nature of our products, engineering support is a critical part of our
strategy during both the development of our products and the support of our
customers from product design through deployment into the market. We expect to
continue to make significant investments in the technical support and
enhancement of our current products as well as the continued development of new
products in the fibre channel market. Engineering and development expenses can
fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on several factors, including new
product introduction schedules.
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions and related expenses for personnel engaged in the
marketing and sales of our products as well as trade shows, product literature
and promotional support costs. Selling and marketing expenses for the nine
months ended March 28, 1999 were $5.1 million, a decrease of $634,000, or 11
percent, compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended March 29, 1998.
This decrease was a result of the streamlining of our products and related
sales and marketing efforts.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related expenses for executives, financial accounting
support, human resources, administrative services, professional fees and other
associated corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended March 28, 1999 were $3.1 million, a decrease of $254,000, or 8
percent, compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 29, 1998.
This decrease was primarily due to reduced general and administrative staffing.
Consolidation charges. On March 25, 1998, we announced plans to outsource
the manufacturing of our product lines to K*TEC Electronics. Our decision
resulted in, among other things, consolidation charges of $11.0 million,
recorded during the quarter ended March 29, 1998, related to the closing of our
Puerto Rico manufacturing subsidiary, the streamlining of our product offerings
of some of our more mature, lower volume traditional networking products and
the closing of selected sales offices. During the nine months ended March 28,
1999, we completed the sale of our former manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico
which resulted in a gain of $777,000. Also, during such period we substantially
completed this consolidation plan, including all remaining headcount
reductions, and we recognized additional consolidation expenses of $1.1 million
related to severance and other asset impairment charges.
Nonoperating income. Nonoperating income consists primarily of interest
income, interest expense and foreign exchange translation. Nonoperating income
for the nine months ended March 28, 1999 was $67,000, an increase of $13,000
compared to $54,000 for the nine months ended March 29, 1998.
Income taxes. Our income tax expense for the nine months ended March 28,
1999 was $246,000, representing a tax provision of 10 percent. In the nine
months ended March 29, 1998, we recorded an income tax benefit of $7,000.
During the nine months ended March 28, 1999, we received a favorable response
to the Ruling Request we submitted in July 1998 to the Secretary of the
Treasury of Puerto Rico. The liquidation of our subsidiary Emulex Caribe was
structured to qualify for tax-free liquidation treatment under the provisions
of both the U.S. and Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Codes. The Secretary of the
Treasury of Puerto Rico has agreed that neither Emulex Corporation nor Emulex
Caribe will recognize a gain or loss as a result of the liquidation. We are
currently undergoing an examination by the California Franchise Tax Board of
our 1989, 1990 and 1991 California income tax returns. We are also undergoing
examination by the Internal Revenue Service of Emulex Caribe's 1995 U.S. tax
return. We believe that the outcome of these examinations will not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

Years ended June 28, 1998, June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996
Net revenues. We generated net revenues of $59.5 million, $64.8 million and
$51.3 million for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The eight
percent decrease in net revenues from fiscal 1997 to 1998 was principally the
result of a decrease in net revenues generated from our traditional networking
products which was partially offset by an increase in net revenues from our
fibre channel product line. The 26 percent increase in net revenues from fiscal
1996 to 1997 was primarily due to the rapid growth in our fibre channel net
revenues and an increase in net revenues from our traditional networking
products.
Net revenues from our fibre channel product line were $18.9 million, $11.5
million and $1.1 million in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
64 percent increase in fibre channel net revenues from fiscal 1997 to 1998 and
the 912 percent increase from fiscal 1996 to 1997 reflect the emerging market
acceptance of fibre channel as well as the initiation and expansion of volume
shipments to our OEM customers.
Net revenues generated from our traditional networking products and other
were $40.5 million, $53.2 million and $50.2 million for fiscal years 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The 24 percent decrease in traditional networking
revenues from fiscal 1997 to 1998 was primarily the result of lower printer
server distribution revenues, which we believe were due to a combination of
lower average selling prices and decreased demand for aftermarket solutions. In
addition, we experienced a decrease in network access product net revenues
which was principally the result of lower shipments to one customer and the
maturation of some of our network products. The six percent increase in net
revenues from our traditional networking products from fiscal 1996 to 1997 was
due to increased sales to OEMs which were partially offset by reductions in
sales of printer servers to non-OEM customers. Traditional networking and other
net revenues in fiscal 1996 included sales of $1.5 million of memory devices
that were no longer utilized in our product lines.
In fiscal 1998, sales to Sequent and IBM accounted for 12 percent and 11
percent, respectively, of our net revenues, and no other customer accounted for
more than 10 percent of our net revenues during such period. In fiscal 1997,
sales to Reuters and Sequent accounted for 13 percent and 10 percent,
respectively, of our net revenues, and no other customer accounted for more
than 10 percent of our net revenues during such period. In fiscal 1996, sales
to IBM accounted for 15 percent of our net revenues, and no other customer
accounted for more than 10 percent of our net revenues during such period.
Sales to our top five customers accounted for 41 percent of net revenues in
fiscal 1998 and 44 percent in fiscal 1997.
International revenues were $20.7 million, $29.3 million and $20.7 million
in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The 29 percent decrease in
international revenues from fiscal 1997 to 1998 was primarily due to decreased
shipments to one customer. The 42 percent increase in international revenues
from fiscal 1996 to 1997 was primarily due to increased OEM revenues from our
traditional networking products. International revenues accounted for 35
percent, 45 percent and 40 percent of net revenues in fiscal years 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
Gross profit. Gross profit was $22.7 million, $24.6 million and $16.5
million in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, representing 38 percent, 38
percent and 32 percent of net revenues, respectively. The improvement in gross
margin from fiscal 1996 to 1997 was primarily due to a product mix which
contained a greater percentage of higher margin products, lower prices for
components used in our products and higher absorption of manufacturing overhead
which resulted from the higher level of production activity in fiscal 1997
compared to 1996. In conjunction with the planned closure of our Puerto Rico
manufacturing operations and transition to contract manufacturing previously
discussed, during the three months ended March 29, 1998, we recorded $1.9
million of incremental excess and obsolete inventory reserves in cost of sales
(exclusive of the reductions in inventory related to the streamlining of our
product lines included in the consolidation charges in fiscal 1998). Gross
margin, excluding the incremental inventory reserves of $1.9 million, improved
to 41 percent in fiscal 1998. The improvement in gross margin was principally
due to a product mix that contained a greater percentage of higher margin
products.

<PAGE>
Engineering and development. Engineering and development expenses were $11.1
million, $10.0 million and $11.4 million for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996,
representing 19 percent, 16 percent and 22 percent of net revenues,
respectively. Engineering and development expenditures increased by 11 percent
from fiscal 1997 to 1998, reflecting our increasing investment in fibre channel
development that was partially offset by declining expenditures in our
traditional networking product development. Engineering and development
expenses declined by 12 percent from fiscal 1996 to 1997 as a result of a
consolidation of our operations that was implemented in early fiscal 1997. As
part of the fiscal 1997 consolidation, we reduced our development efforts in a
number of traditional networking product lines outside of our printer server,
WAN adapter and communications server products.
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $7.6 million,
$7.6 million and $11.1 million for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996,
representing 13 percent, 12 percent and 22 percent of net revenues,
respectively. Selling and marketing expenses were comparable from fiscal 1997
to 1998. Selling and marketing expenses declined by 31 percent from fiscal 1996
to 1997 as a result of a consolidation of our operations that was implemented
in early fiscal 1997. As part of this fiscal 1997 consolidation, we reduced our
sales and marketing efforts in a number of traditional networking product lines
outside of our printer server, WAN adapter and communications server products.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $4.4
million, $4.6 million and $4.9 million for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996,
representing seven percent, seven percent and 10 percent of net revenues,
respectively. General and administrative expenses declined by five percent from
fiscal 1997 to 1998 as a result of ongoing streamlining of our general and
administrative activities. General and administrative expenses declined by six
percent from fiscal 1996 to 1997 as a result of a consolidation of our
operations implemented in early fiscal 1997 in which we reduced our general and
administrative staffing.
Consolidation charges. Consolidation charges were $10.6 million and $1.3
million in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. We had no consolidation charges
in fiscal 1996. Fiscal 1998 consolidation charges resulted from our decision to
outsource manufacturing and further streamline our traditional networking
product lines. As of December 27, 1998, this consolidation plan was
substantially complete. The consolidation of our operations implemented in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 involved the initial streamlining of our
traditional networking product sector, including products such as remote access
servers and network software.
Nonoperating income. Our nonoperating income was $113,000, $71,000 and
$483,000 in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Normal fluctuations
in nonoperating income are primarily due to changes in interest income and
expenses as a result of varying cash balances. Nonoperating income in fiscal
1997 included nonrecurring interest income of $238,000 associated with prior
years' tax returns, and nonoperating income in fiscal 1996 included a
nonrecurring gain of $312,000 as a result of the sale of a building at our
former production facility in Puerto Rico.
Income taxes. We recorded tax benefits of $88,000, $506,000 and $1.1 million
in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Under a tax sharing
agreement with our former subsidiary, QLogic, we recorded tax recoveries of
$188,000, $612,000 and $750,000 in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The benefit from the fiscal 1998 loss was offset by an increase
to the valuation allowance (see note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements). We had $36.0 million and $4.3 million of net operating loss
carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively, as of
June 28, 1998, which are available to offset future federal and state taxable
income through fiscal 2013 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, we had $2.4
million of business credit carryforwards, available through fiscal 2013, and
$1.2 million of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards, available over an
indefinite period, to further reduce future federal income taxes. We also had
$1.6 million of research and experimentation credit carryforwards as of June
28, 1998 for state purposes available through fiscal 2013. We expect that our
effective tax rate in future periods will be higher than historically reported
at such time as we have utilized our net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards and/or reduced our deferred tax valuation allowance.

Our operating results have in the past and may in the future fluctuate on a
quarterly and annual basis as a result of various factors. These factors
include, among others:
. The size, timing and terms of customer orders;
. The relatively long sales and deployment cycles for our products,
particularly those sold through our OEM sales channels;
. Changes in our operating expenses;
. Our ability to develop and market new products;
. The ability of our contract manufacturer to produce and distribute our
products in a timely fashion;
. The market acceptance of our new fibre channel products;
. The timing of the introduction or enhancement of products by us, our OEM
customers and our competitors;
. The level of product and price competition;
. Our ability to expand our relationships with OEMs and distributors;
. Activities of and acquisitions by our competitors;
. Changes in technology, industry standards or consumer preferences;
. Changes in the mix of products sold, as our fibre channel products
typically have higher margins than our traditional networking products;
. Changes in the mix of sales channels;
. The level of international sales;
. Seasonality;
. Personnel changes;
. Changes in customer budgeting cycles;
. Foreign currency exchange rates; and
. General economic conditions.
Quarterly fibre channel net revenues fluctuated during fiscal 1998 as a
result of changing order patterns from one major OEM customer. Aside from this
customer, quarterly fibre channel revenues have steadily increased over the
past 10 quarters as a result of new product introductions, a broadening number
of OEM customers that launched fibre channel-based systems solutions and
increased end-user demand for fibre channel solutions. Quarterly net sales of
traditional networking products, which we consider to be mature, declined
more quickly after the manufacturing transition implemented in the quarter
ended March 29, 1998, when we decided to exit several low volume product lines
in this sector which could not be economically transitioned to a contract
manufacturer. Fluctuations in gross margin, aside from the $1.9 million of
incremental excess and obsolete inventory costs incurred in the quarter ended
March 29, 1998, have primarily resulted from declining average selling prices
in our traditional networking products, which have periodically been offset by
a shift in our revenue mix towards higher margin fibre channel products.
Quarterly operating expenses, which generally increased prior to our
manufacturing transition implemented in the quarter ended March 29, 1998,
subsequently declined as we streamlined our traditional networking operations,
and then increased in absolute dollars again in the quarters ended December 27,
1998 and March 28, 1999 as we increased fibre channel marketing and engineering
and development expenditures. The fluctuation in engineering and development
expenditures from one quarter to the next has resulted from periodic expenses
associated with the introduction of new generation fibre channel components and
products. Consolidation charges resulting from the decision to outsource our
24
<PAGE>
manufacturing operations were recognized in the quarter ended March 29, 1998.
Amounts recorded as consolidation charges in the quarters ended June 28, 1998
and December 27, 1998 resulted from revisions of certain estimates included in
the original charge which were partially offset by the gain on the sale of our
facility in Puerto Rico.
Liquidity and capital resources
We had $5.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 28, 1999. Our
operations provided cash of $1.5 million during the nine months ended March 28,
1999 compared to $2.8 million during the nine months ended March 29, 1998.
Included in the $1.5 million of cash and cash equivalents provided by operating
activities during the nine months ended March 28, 1999 was $2.9 million of cash
and cash equivalents used in relation to the consolidation charges discussed
previously. Investing activities, which were limited to the acquisition and
disposition of property, plant and equipment and the acquisition of
intangibles, provided $1.6 million of cash and cash equivalents during the nine
months ended March 28, 1999 compared to using $1.4 million during the nine
months ended March 29, 1998, as we received net proceeds of $3.0 million when
we completed the sale of our property, plant and equipment in Puerto Rico. Net
financing activities, which were limited to payments under capital lease
obligations and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options, provided
$97,000 and $60,000 of cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended
March 28, 1999 and March 29, 1998, respectively. As of March 28, 1999, we had a
remaining consolidation accrual of $246,000 primarily for severance and related
items which we anticipate will be paid over the next six months.
Cash and cash equivalents were $1.8 million, $484,000 and $1.6 million as of
June 28, 1998, June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively. Cash provided by
operations was $3.1 million and $532,000 in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Cash used in operations was $7.8 million in fiscal 1996. Investing activities,
which were limited to the acquisition and disposition of property, plant and
equipment and the acquisition of intangibles, used $1.9 million, $2.1 million
and $1.2 million in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net financing
activities, which were limited to payments under capital lease obligations and
proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options, provided $47,000,
$416,000 and $397,000 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In addition to our cash balances, we have a secured line of credit of up to
$10 million with Silicon Valley Bank which is available through September 1999,
unless extended by the parties. We last utilized the line of credit in the
quarter ended September 28, 1997. The line of credit requires us to satisfy
certain financial and other covenants and conditions, including prescribed
levels of tangible net worth, profitability and liquidity. In the event we fail
to comply with any financial or other covenant in our loan agreement, the line
of credit could become unavailable to us. In addition, to the extent that
borrowings have been made under the line of credit, a failure to continue to
satisfy such covenants would constitute an event of default, giving rise to the
various remedies available to a secured lender. As of March 28, 1999, we were
in compliance with or had received waivers for all covenants of the line of
credit. We believe that the proceeds of this offering and our existing cash
balances, facilities and equipment leases, anticipated cash flows from
operating activities and available borrowings under our line of credit will be
sufficient to support our working capital needs and capital expenditure
requirements for the next twelve months.
New accounting standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued
Statement 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." This statement establishes standards for the way public companies
disclose information about operating segments, products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The new statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. We believe the impact of adopting this
new standard on the consolidated financial statements will not be material.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new statement established accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
25
<PAGE>
for hedging activities and is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. We do not expect the adoption of Statement 133
to have a material impact on our results of operations.
Year 2000
We have considered the impact of Year 2000 issues on our products, computer
systems and applications. We believe that all of our current products are Year
2000 compliant; however, some products previously sold by us may not be Year
2000 compliant. We believe we are prepared to update these older products as
required under warranty for all Year 2000 issues that we have been able to
identify. Furthermore, we believe the related financial exposure for any
required updates to these older products is not material. Additionally, we have
reviewed and tested our internal computer systems and applications. We believe
we have identified all of the related Year 2000 compliance issues in this area.
The majority of these issues have already been corrected. We anticipate the
remaining remediation related to our computer systems and applications will be
completed by the end of June 1999. These reviews, tests and corrections have
not resulted in substantial expenditures to date. Furthermore, we do not
anticipate any material expenditures in the future related to these issues. We
are in the process of completing a survey of our suppliers, contract
manufacturer and financial institutions to evaluate their Year 2000 compliance
plans and state of readiness and to determine whether any Year 2000 issues will
impede the ability of such suppliers to continue to provide goods and services
to us. We are currently conducting a survey of our customers. As we have not
yet completed our full Year 2000 assessment, we have not developed a
contingency plan. We anticipate that our full Year 2000 review, necessary
remediation actions and contingency plan will be substantially complete by the
end of June 1999. We believe that the most likely worst-case scenarios related
to the Year 2000 issue that we may experience would be either an inability to
obtain inventory components from suppliers or delays in receiving orders or
payments from customers due to Year 2000 problems experienced by these third
parties. These events, if experienced, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

BUSINESS
Introduction
Emulex is a leading designer, developer and supplier of a broad line of
fibre channel host adapters, hubs, ASICs and software products that enhance
access to and storage of electronic data and applications. Our products are
based on internally developed ASIC technology, are deployable across a variety
of heterogeneous network configurations and operating systems, and support
increasing volumes of stored data. We believe that we are the only company that
designs, develops and markets both fibre channel host adapters and hubs, two of
the core components of a complete fibre channel solution. We believe our
products offer our customers the unique combination of critical reliability,
scalability, high performance and customization for mission-critical servers
and storage systems. Our fibre channel development efforts began in 1992, we
shipped our first fibre channel product in volume in 1996 and we believe today
we are the leading independent manufacturer of fibre channel host adapters.
Over the course of our history, we have also designed, developed and marketed
traditional networking products such as printer servers and network access
products. As an early entrant into the fibre channel market, we have leveraged
our expertise to achieve over 90 design wins and secure significant customer
relationships with over 20 key OEMs, including Compaq, Data General, EMC,
Hitachi, IBM, Sequent and Siemens.
Industry background
In recent years, the volume of stored electronic data in enterprises has
expanded significantly, due largely to the growth of data intensive
applications such as online transaction processing, data mining, data
warehousing, multimedia and Internet applications. As a result, both the
capacity and number of storage devices in the enterprise have increased.
Furthermore, with the increased use of and reliance on mission-critical
applications such as e-commerce and distributed enterprise software
applications, the real-time availability of electronic data has become more
important to the daily operations of enterprises. As a result, enterprises face
heightened requirements for data storage solutions that enable improved access
to and management of shared data, including solutions that offer increased
connectivity capabilities, higher performance and greater reliability.
Enterprises currently access, share and manage the rapidly expanding volume
of data utilizing two major data communications technologies: local area
network, or LAN , and input/output, or I/O. LAN technologies enable
communications among servers and client computers, while I/O technologies
enable communications between host computers and their attached high-speed
peripherals. The emergence of LAN architectures in the mid-1980s brought
multiple benefits to client-server data communications, including faster
transmission speeds, shared access to multiple servers and greater connectivity
capabilities in terms of number of connected devices as well as distance
between devices. These benefits, and the applications that leverage LAN
technologies, have driven the rapid adoption of LAN architectures in the
corporate enterprise over the past decade. As a result, the data communications
pathway between servers and client computers has become largely networked with
LAN technologies.
Although LAN architectures have proliferated in client-server applications,
until recently I/O pathways between servers and attached peripherals, notably
storage subsystems, have failed to evolve to networking architectures. Instead,
traditional I/O architectures are server-centric, utilizing a point-to-
multipoint architecture which requires that each storage subsystem in the
corporate enterprise be attached to a single server through which all requested
data must pass. With this traditional server-centric storage architecture,
dedicated storage is attached to each server using I/O technologies such as
SCSI. Remote storage systems are accessed through networked attached file
servers. This model results in "islands of storage" behind each server, where
data requests must traverse the LAN and pass through the file server associated
with the specific storage device. This circuitous method of accessing data
degrades network performance, increases latency, or delays, for network users,
drains server processing power and is difficult to
27
<PAGE>
scale. With the dramatic increase in information storage and retrieval
requirements, system performance has become increasingly constrained by server-
centric architectures and the inability of traditional I/O technology to
overcome communications bottlenecks.
The emergence of fibre channel
Fibre channel, an American National Standards Institute, or ANSI, standard
communications technology, was introduced in 1994 to address traditional I/O
limitations and has been widely endorsed by the majority of the leading server
and storage systems manufacturers. Fibre channel offers the connectivity,
distance and access benefits of networking architectures combined with the high
performance and low latency needed for I/O applications. According to emf
Associates, the market for fibre channel hubs and adapters is expected to
expand from approximately $384 million in 1998 to $3.4 billion in 2003. When
compared to traditional I/O technologies, such as SCSI, fibre channel benefits
can be summarized as follows:

* As specified in the Ultra2SCSI specification, the highest performance SCSI
implementation for which both host computer and peripheral storage solutions
are commercially available.
Fibre channel has additional features that are designed to address the
emerging high-end connectivity, performance and reliability requirements of the
corporate enterprise, including the following:
.specifications that encompass multiple classes of service that offer
different levels of guaranteed service;
. technology that serves as a single interface for both networking and I/O
applications;
. technology that transports a variety of traditional I/O and LAN
protocols, including SCSI and Internet Protocol, or IP, over the same
backbone; and
. the ability to support full-duplex (simultaneous bi-directional)
communications, effectively doubling the available bandwidth.
28
<PAGE>
Fibre channel was designed from the outset to encompass small, medium and
large connectivity and bandwidth requirements. To address these requirements,
fibre channel can be implemented in various topologies:
Fibre Channel Topologies
Point-To-Point Arbitrated Loop Switched Fabric
. Single dedicated connection between two devices
. Highest bandwidth efficiency
. Most constrained fibre channel connectivity
. Interconnects up to 126 nodes, with no switch needed
. Bandwidth is shared and latency grows as network grows
. Typically used with hubs to improve connectivity, scalability and reliability
. Greatest interconnection capability (up to 16 million devices) and largest
total bandwidth of all fibre channel topologies
. Each device is connected point-to-point to switch, with non-blocking path to
all devices on the switch
Enabling of new fibre channel-based architectures
In addition to offering new levels of performance and flexibility to
traditional I/O applications, fibre channel's advanced capabilities enable new
architectures such as storage area networks, or SANs, and clustering, both of
which rely upon fibre channel's unique ability to connect multiple host
computers to multiple storage subsystems. The SAN-based architecture applies
LAN-type intelligence and management to data storage applications, allowing
data to move efficiently and reliably between multiple storage devices and
servers.
29
<PAGE>
In this new SAN model, where the SAN exists as a complementary network to
the LAN, I/O-intensive traffic is offloaded from the LAN, enabling a more fail-
safe I/O channel and eliminating the bottlenecks that degrade performance.
Furthermore, like nodes on a LAN, attached storage peripherals in a SAN can be
managed and diagnosed to detect errors, and traffic can be rerouted accordingly
in the event of a failure. A SAN essentially transforms dedicated servers and
storage devices into network resources, greatly improving the performance and
scalability of enterprise storage. By providing shared server access, the cost
of expensive enterprise storage can be amortized across entire organizations.
SANs are increasingly being deployed to support a wide range of traditional
enterprise computing applications. In addition, SANs are being deployed as
solutions in niche applications, such as disaster recovery and remote data
back-up.
Clustering is also expanding as a connectivity implementation, building on
the benefits of fibre channel technology. A cluster consists of multiple
interconnected servers that work together as a single entity to cooperatively
provide applications, systems resources and data. Clustering enables load
distribution between servers and enhances availability and reliability by
providing multiple I/O paths between servers and storage subsystems. Unlike LAN
technologies, a fibre channel clustering architecture offers a single interface
to interconnect both processors and storage devices with reduced latency which
is important to maximizing performance in clustering applications.
Fibre channel customer requirements
The majority of fibre channel solutions installed today are delivered to end
users via integrated systems solutions offered by computer and storage systems
OEMs. As fibre channel gains market acceptance and competition intensifies,
OEMs are increasingly demanding fibre channel products that are optimized to
meet a variety of requirements, including reliability, scalability, performance
and customization.
. Demand for Reliability. With the increase in mission-critical electronic
data, high reliability and availability of data is critical. OEMs seek
rigorously tested fibre channel solutions that have a proven track record
of successful field implementations. In order to achieve higher
reliability as networks expand, fibre channel solutions must also
incorporate network management capabilities that efficiently monitor
system reliability.
. Demand for Scalability. A single solution that supports the widest array
of fibre channel features and functionality provides OEMs with less
complex development, integration and installation burdens. Furthermore,
fibre channel solutions that are flexible enough to seamlessly scale to
solve future higher-end requirements as well as current needs provide a
more cost-effective solution for end users.
. Demand for Performance. OEMs and end users also require fibre channel
solutions that offer the maximum available performance characteristics.
However, individual fibre channel solutions often vary significantly in
performance depending upon the particular implementation of the
specification. Parameters such as I/O transfers per second and megabytes
per second, or MB/sec, of throughput have become standard measurements of
performance for fibre channel products.
. Demand for Customization. Computer and storage systems OEMs require the
ability to customize fibre channel products in order to offer
differentiated system solutions. Customization enables an OEM to optimize
its system solution and achieve significant performance enhancements over
generic solutions. Because the customization process can require a year
or more of OEM development, OEMs increasingly prefer fibre channel
products that permit the OEM to transparently migrate customized software
to successive generations of fibre channel products.
Computer and storage systems OEMs have qualified and selected fibre channel
products based on the products' ability to satisfy end-user requirements above
and beyond basic conformity with the fibre channel standard.
30

Our fibre channel solution
We are a leading designer, developer and supplier of a broad line of fibre
channel host adapters, hubs, ASICs and software products that enhance access to
and storage of electronic data and applications. We believe that we are the
only company that designs, develops and markets both host adapters and hubs,
two of the core components of a complete fibre channel solution.
Key benefits of our products include the following:
Critical reliability. Since we began fibre channel development work in 1992,
we have designed our fibre channel products with features that enhance system
reliability in mission-critical applications. Through the design, qualification
and production shipments that have taken place in this time frame, our hardware
and software solutions have proven to be commercially robust. Through years of
field deployment, we have formed strong relationships with key OEM customers
and have integrated customer feedback to improve both the performance and
reliability of our fibre channel products. Furthermore, our digital fibre
channel hub offers unique re-timing functionality that is specifically designed
to improve the reliability and manageability of arbitrated loop networks.
Scalability. We believe our products provide the most complete
implementation of the fibre channel standard in the industry that is scalable
to support additional devices and architectures as well as allow migration to
future generations of fibre channel products. Our fibre channel adapters work
with all fibre channel topologies (point-to-point, arbitrated loop and switched
fabric) and support multiple classes of service to enable customers to choose
different topologies and maximize different priorities such as cost, latency or
bandwidth.
31
<PAGE>
Our products also support concurrent transmission of multiple protocols,
including SCSI and IP, and a broad range of operating systems including UNIX,
NT and NetWare. Our products support the widest array of cabling options,
including copper and longwave optical fibre, which enables the maximum
connection distance available with fibre channel technologies today. This
connectivity feature is important for high availability configurations where a
mirrored or remote backup site can provide an alternative if the primary site
fails. As a result of this flexible set of features, one device can be scaled
to connect heterogeneous systems, and existing systems can be leveraged as new
technologies are added.
High performance. Leveraging our expertise and experience in networking and
I/O technology, we have approached the storage problem with a networking
perspective to maximize the performance of our fibre channel solutions. We
believe our products offer the highest performance results in the industry,
sustaining speeds in excess of 150 MB/sec and 31,000 I/O transactions per
second from a single host bus adapter. Furthermore, our products support high-
performance connectivity features such as full-duplex data transfers which
effectively double the available bandwidth of a fibre channel network.
Customization. Our fibre channel adapters include our proprietary Service
Level Interface, or SLI, which provides a common software interface from one
generation of our adapters to the next, preserving OEM investments in fibre
channel solutions. The SLI enables each OEM to write customized software and
drivers to enhance system performance and provide differentiated functionality
to end-user customers.
Our strategy
Our objective is to be a leading supplier of high-availability, high-
performance fibre channel solutions. We believe that we have established a
leadership position in the fibre channel host adapter market, and we intend to
leverage this position to address additional opportunities in the fibre channel
market. Key elements of our strategy include the following:
Focus on the fibre channel market. We plan to expand our fibre channel
market presence by focusing most of our resources on developing, marketing and
supplying superior fibre channel solutions. We have historically been a
developer of printer server and network access products. More recently, we have
concentrated on the fibre channel market, and we have become the leading
independent supplier of fibre channel host adapters. Leveraging more than seven
years of experience developing fibre channel technology and products, we have
been one of the pioneers in the development of standards for fibre channel and
created the most extensive implementation of fibre channel standards. In
addition, our OEMs have established a large end-user installed base.
Extend technology leadership to provide superior fibre channel solutions. We
intend to leverage our technology leadership in the high-end enterprise fibre
channel market to continue to offer the highest performance fibre channel
solutions. We were one of the first companies to focus on fibre channel, and we
intend to leverage our knowledge base, customer relationships and years of
experience to continue to anticipate industry trends, gain early access to next
generation technology and accelerate product development and market acceptance
of new fibre channel products.
Address evolving fibre channel market. We intend to extend our technology
leadership to provide cost-effective, reliable solutions for the broader fibre
channel market. Given the current early stage of development of the fibre
channel market, our fibre channel strategy has historically been focused on
meeting the requirements of high-end enterprise applications for computer and
storage systems OEMs. Given the limitations of existing technologies such as
SCSI, we believe lower performance applications presently served by traditional
technologies will migrate to fibre channel technology over time. Leveraging our
ASIC and software expertise in fibre channel development as well as our seven
years of development history, we plan to offer reliable, high performance fibre
channel solutions for a widening fibre channel market.
32
<PAGE>
Expand strategic alliances. We intend to further develop our strategic
alliances. We have established strategic relationships with several companies
in the fibre channel industry, including Brocade, EMC, Legato and McDATA, to
enhance multi-vendor interoperability. We believe these strategic
relationships, as well as relationships we plan to build in the future, will
facilitate the integration of our products with our partners' technologies,
thereby accelerating time-to-market and penetration of our products. We intend
to continue working closely with vendors of other systems components to ensure
that the end user can purchase an integrated system.
Strengthen relationships with leading OEMs. We intend to sell more broadly
within existing OEMs as well as develop new OEM relationships. We believe we
facilitate and speed an OEM's deployment of fibre channel solutions because we
enable product differentiation with customized features, offer superior
engineering and customer support and design our own ASICs. At the market's
early stage of development, the majority of fibre channel deployments are
taking place through OEM suppliers of computer and storage systems, and we
believe the OEM sector will remain an important driver to the growth and
stability of the fibre channel market. We plan to dedicate the resources
necessary to develop new, and strengthen existing, relationships with leading
OEMs of server and storage equipment.
Expand distribution channels. As the market for fibre channel products
emerges, we intend to augment our OEM channel with other distribution channels,
including value-added resellers, or VARs. As the fibre channel market continues
to expand, and VARs begin to deploy fibre channel-based systems, we believe
that alternative distribution channels for fibre channel products are likely to
develop. At that time, we intend to further develop our systems integrator and
distributor relationships, leveraging our historical printer server and network
access experience in these distribution channels. Our plan is to supply VARs,
as well as smaller OEM customers, through select technical distributors, and
eventually, through two-tier distribution channels as fibre channel becomes a
more widely deployed and standardized solution. We also plan to expand our base
of international VARs and OEMs, particularly in Europe and Japan.
Our products
We are a leading supplier of high-performance fibre channel products, as
well as a supplier of traditional networking products that include printer
servers and network access products.
Fibre channel products
Our LightPulse host adapters and hubs constitute key components for
comprehensive fibre channel SANs that typically include host adapters, hubs,
ASICs, firmware, software and switches. We believe that our ability to offer a
combination of hubs and host adapters provides a compatible single-vendor
solution and eases customers' interoperability concerns. We time our fibre
channel introductions to address the growing demands of enterprise customers as
well as the evolving speed and capacity capabilities of complementary products.
As the adoption of fibre channel has expanded, the rate of our product
introductions has accelerated.
Adapters. Fibre channel host adapters connect host computers to a fibre
channel network. Our fibre channel host adapter line, which has evolved from
the LP6000 to the LP8000 in the high end, also encompasses lower-priced
adapters such as the LP3000 and LP850. Our high-end host adapters target
enterprise systems, while our lower-priced entry and open systems host adapters
offer highly featured solutions for standard operating environments. All of our
adapter products share the same core ASIC architecture, software and firmware.

Our high-end adapters have always been designed to support a broad
implementation of the fibre channel specification, encompassing multiple
classes of service and all topologies, including full fabric support. In
addition, our enterprise applications strategy has led us to offer a variety of
other features in our high-end adapters, including simultaneous transmission of
multiple protocols, full-duplex capability and data integrity features. Our
high-end host adapters also provide the widest range of physical interface
options available, including copper, short-wave optical and long-wave optical,
to enable connectivity distances up to 10 kilometers. A broad range of
operating systems, including Windows NT, UNIX and NetWare, are supported as
well. Our SLI enables our OEM customers to develop highly differentiated
products, while maintaining complete software compatibility across product
generations, allowing customers to leverage software investments.
To support I/O applications presently served by traditional techniques such
as SCSI, our product line also includes adapters that support only arbitrated
loop environments as well as adapters designed to address a standard open
systems environment based on Windows NT or NetWare. These entry level/open
systems host adapters include the LP3000 and our most recently introduced
adapter, the LP850. Based on the same hardware architecture as our high-end
adapters, the LP850 provides the same throughput and I/Os per second and many
of the same features as the LP8000 but is a cost-optimized, standard product
for the open server market. We offer the LP850 with fully certified drivers for
Windows NT and Novell, as well as BIOS and configuration utilities. The LP3000
host adapter, directly targeted at today's SCSI market, provides arbitrated
loop connectivity for storage applications at SCSI prices for Windows NT and
NetWare environments.
Hubs. Hubs provide centralized wiring connection, improved network
reliability and a monitoring point in fibre channel arbitrated loop
environments. Our hub strategy focuses on leveraging our adapter expertise and
understanding of fibre channel signaling to improve the reliability and
manageability of the loop as a whole. In 1996, we became the first company to
provide fibre channel hubs to the market when we introduced our LightPulse hub
product line. In December 1998, we introduced a new line of innovative digital
fibre channel hubs that complements our earlier line of analog fibre channel
hubs. Our LH5000 digital retiming fibre channel hub provides significant
enhancements in arbitrated loop management. While analog hubs passively amplify
signals, digital hubs capture and regenerate signals, thereby increasing loop
reliability. Our LH5000 hub can collect diagnostic information and provide
fault and performance analysis. Using the LH5000, signal jitter and invalid
transmissions are eliminated, thereby enhancing loop integrity, stability and
scalability.

Traditional networking products
Our traditional networking products include printer servers and network
access products. We supply both external and embedded printer servers, which
provide LAN connectivity for printers. Our embedded printer servers, which
provide ethernet, fast ethernet and token ring connectivity, have been sold to
over 20 OEM printer suppliers, including Canon, IBM, Minolta, Ricoh and Xerox.
We have been providing network printer servers since 1989, and our printer
server solution supports five network protocols and over 38 operating systems.
The external printer server product line includes the NETJet, NETQue Pocket,
NETQue, NETQue Token Ring and NETQue Pro 2.
Our network access products comprise a variety of product families that
provide connectivity between computing resources across both LANs and wide area
networks, or WANs. These networking products contain a set of core technologies
that includes drivers supporting a broad array of operating systems and network
interface technologies that span many LAN and WAN specifications. Our WAN
adapter products provide wide area networking connectivity for PC-based
systems. Our communications servers provide connectivity for terminals and PCs
across a LAN. Our networking software products link PCs on Novell NetWare LANS
and DEC VAX/Alpha systems to provide a seamless integration of the systems in
which resources and information can be shared. As we continue to focus on
meeting the demands of the growing fibre channel market, we expect that we will
continue to reduce product offerings and resources dedicated to these non-fibre
channel businesses.
Our fibre channel technology
We believe that we have a fundamental competitive advantage as a result of
our extensive knowledge of the fibre channel standard, I/O and networking
capabilities, our ASIC expertise and multiprotocol skill sets. In addition, the
possession of state-of-the-art design tools, the knowledge of key design
methodologies and the ability to conduct robust data signal analyses of board-
level products are essential competitive differentiators for us. The following
is a summary of our differentiated technology position:
Leadership in setting standards. We have been developing fibre channel
technology since 1992. We are a member of ANSI and were active in defining the
original ANSI fibre channel standards. We played an instrumental role in the
development of the arbitrated loop standard and continue to provide major
contributions to many of the ANSI fibre channel standards that have been
developed to date.
Combination of I/O and networking capabilities. The basis for our entry into
the fibre channel market was our vision toward serving both the storage and
networking needs of the enterprise customer with a common transport
architecture. Our fibre channel development efforts leverage our background in
end-user storage products for the DEC market, as well as our broad knowledge of
LAN and WAN protocol standards currently implemented in our traditional
networking products. In particular, our expertise with a broad range of LAN
technologies, such as ethernet, simple network management protocol, or SNMP,
and UNIX, provides us with additional leverage in our fibre channel efforts.
35
<PAGE>
ASIC, firmware and software technical expertise. All of our fibre channel
products, including both hubs and host adapters, rely upon our internally-
developed ASICs, as well as firmware and software technologies. Our host
adapter ASIC architecture supports industry standard reduced instruction set
computer, or RISC, processors, on-board direct memory access, or DMA, buffers,
and context cache. Our external RISC-based architecture provides our OEM
customers with several distinct capabilities. First, product performance is
scalable, enabling new generations of products to utilize advances in RISC
central processing unit, or CPU, and memory technologies to further improve
performance. Second, this architecture allows us to implement significant
portions of the fibre channel protocol in firmware, enabling time-to-market
leadership as the standards evolve or new standards are defined. Also, our
firmware implementation enables us to react quickly to customer requests for
new features, allowing a high degree of feature flexibility and product
differentiation. Furthermore, by maintaining control of these technologies, we
can provide our customers with performance leadership, innovative features and
faster time-to-market. The size of our DMA buffers allows our adapters to
sustain high throughput in demanding enterprise environments, including systems
that require guaranteed delivery and those that extend over long distances.
Also, our context cache stores transaction information in hardware, enabling
the adapter to quickly process commands from numerous sources. This capability
significantly reduces latency and command processing time, allowing our host
adapters to maintain a high level of throughput.
Multiple protocol support. We can concurrently support up to four different
protocol standards which enables us to meet the demands of growing enterprise
systems that are comprised of heterogeneous networking environments. These
protocols include: SCSI, IP, fibre connection channel and other customer-
defined interface protocols. The support of multiple protocols is critical as
the enterprise market begins to embrace the SAN model and as enterprises
interconnect across diverse systems.
Customers
Our customers include leading computer and storage systems OEMs and
resellers. The following is a list of our top fibre channel customers:
OEMs Resellers
---- ---------
Compaq McDATA Avnet
Comparex MTI/Micro Technology Bell Microproducts
Data General Sequent Ideal Hardware
EMC Siemens
Groupe Bull Tokyo Electron Ltd. (to Hitachi)
IBM Transoft
LSI Logic Unisys
Our top printer server OEM customers are IBM, Xerox and Ricoh, and our top
network access product OEM customers are Compaq and Reuters. In fiscal year
1998, our top 10 OEM customers (across all products lines) represented 57
percent of our total revenues, while our top 10 distribution channel customers
(across all product lines) represented 24 percent of our total revenues.
Selling and marketing
We sell our products worldwide to OEMs and end users and through other
distribution channels including VARs, systems integrators, industrial
distributors and resellers. Early development of the fibre channel market has
been dominated by OEMs, and our focus is to use fibre channel sales specialists
to expand opportunities with our existing OEMs, as well as to develop new OEM
relationships. As the fibre channel market continues to develop, we intend to
expand our worldwide distribution channels through technical distributors, such
as VARs and systems integrators. As fibre channel becomes more widely deployed
and standardized in the future, we intend to leverage our two-tier distribution
strategy of industrial distributors and resellers used for our traditional
networking products to complement our core OEM relationships.
36
<PAGE>
Our marketing efforts are focused on increasing awareness of our fibre
channel solutions as well as the benefits of fibre channel technology in
general. Key components of our marketing activities include the following:
. Developing strategic alliances with companies such as Brocade, EMC,
Legato and McDATA to enhance interoperability of products;
. Being active in industry associations that promote fibre channel and
provide industry-wide visibility, including the Fibre Channel
Association, the Fibre Channel Loop Community and the Systems
Networking Industry Association;
. Using trade shows and industry conferences to display and demonstrate
products, meet with key customers and position ourselves as an industry
leader; and
. Providing our distributors with regular newsletters, product
literature, co-op funding for promotional programs and product
training.
Manufacturing
In 1998, we implemented a strategy to outsource the manufacturing of all of
our products to K*TEC Electronics. Our products consist primarily of electronic
component parts assembled on internally designed printed circuit boards which
are sold as board-level products. Most component parts can be purchased from
two or more sources. However, some component parts can only be obtained from
single sources. For example, Intel is currently our sole supplier for
microprocessors used in our fibre channel products. IBM and Hewlett-Packard are
currently our sole suppliers for components that enable our fibre channel
products to connect to networks. Motorola is currently our sole supplier of
memory devices incorporated into our fibre channel products. In addition, we
design our own semiconductors which are embedded in our traditional networking
and fibre channel products, and these are manufactured by third party
semiconductor foundries such as LSI Logic, Chip Express and VLSI. In addition
to hardware, we design software to provide functionality to our hardware
products. We also license software from third party providers for use with our
traditional networking products. Most of these providers are the sole source
for this software. An inability or an unwillingness on the part of any of these
suppliers to provide us, or our contract manufacturer, with the quality and
quantity of products, parts or software that we need in a timely fashion could
have a material impact on our ability to supply products in accordance with
customer requirements. Both our software and the third party software are sold
primarily as embedded programs within the hardware products but may be
purchased separately as a software-only update for our products.
The assembly operations required by our products are typical of the
electronics industry, and no unusual methods, procedures or equipment are
required. The sophisticated nature of the products, in most cases, requires
extensive testing by specialized test devices operated by skilled personnel.
This testing is provided by K*TEC Electronics. However, we also maintain an
internal test engineering group for continuing support of test operations. At
March 28, 1999, we had 17 permanent manufacturing employees at our facility in
Costa Mesa.
Intellectual Property
Our ability to compete depends in part upon our ability to protect our
proprietary information through various means, including ownership of patents,
copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets as well as through contractual
provisions.
We have eight patents issued and 18 patent applications pending in the U.S.
We have a total of 20 patent applications pending abroad, in Europe and Asia.
We also have six patent applications pending under the Patent Cooperation
Treaty, with the intent of filing in individual countries at a later date. All
of our issued patents were granted within the past three years. Six of our
issued U.S. patents and all of our pending U.S. patent applications relate to
our fibre channel technology.
37
<PAGE>
All of our software products are copyrighted with our company's banners and
notices. We have been granted registration of 11 trademarks in the U.S. and
have one additional application awaiting approval. We have also been granted
109 trademark registrations and have eight pending trademark registrations
abroad. Lastly, we rely on trade secret law and contractual provisions to
protect unique intellectual property we possess which we have determined
unnecessary or uneconomical to patent or copyright, or which is not otherwise
capable of more formal protection.
Competition
The market for fibre channel technology is intensely competitive and is
characterized by frequent new product introductions, changing customer
preferences and evolving technology and industry standards.
Our competition for fibre channel host adapter products consists primarily
of QLogic and Hewlett-Packard. Our principal competitors in the fibre channel
hub market are Gadzoox and Vixel. We also face the threat of potential
competition from new entrants into the fibre channel market, including large
technology companies who may develop or acquire differentiating technology and
then apply their resources including established distribution channels and
brand recognition to obtain significant market share.
We believe that the principal bases of fibre channel product competition
presently include reliability, scalability, connectivity performance and
customization. We believe that other competitive factors include pricing and
technical support. We believe that we compete favorably with respect to each of
these factors. We also believe that we have a competitive strength in the
alliances we have built with customers, particularly our close relationships
with OEM customers. We believe that our experience with distribution channels
will provide competitive benefits as the fibre channel market matures. Some of
our other competitive advantages include our early entry into fibre channel
technology, our workforce of highly experienced researchers and designers and
our intellectual property.
Our fibre channel products may also compete at the end-user level with other
technology alternatives, such as SCSI, which are available from companies such
as Adaptec, LSI Logic and QLogic as well as a number of smaller companies. In
the future, other technologies may evolve to address the applications served by
fibre channel today.
The printer server and network access industries are also extremely
competitive and price sensitive. Our primary competitors for printer server
products are Hewlett-Packard, Lexmark and Intel. Our network access products
compete with a number of companies, including Compaq and IBM.
Employees
At March 28, 1999, we employed 138 employees, as follows: 69 in engineering
and development, 28 in general and administrative, 24 in selling and marketing
and 17 in manufacturing. None of our employees is represented by a labor union,
and we believe our employee relations are good.
Facilities
Our corporate offices and principal production development facilities are
currently located in an approximately 55,000 square foot leased building in
Costa Mesa, California. Our lease expires August 2001. We also lease seven
domestic and two European sales offices.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock,
$0.20 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.
Common stock
As of April 20, 1999, there were 6,159,756 shares of common stock
outstanding that were held of record by approximately 326 stockholders. As of
that same date, there were also outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of
1,028,915 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $9.76
per share. No shares of preferred stock are outstanding.
Assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and assuming
no exercise of outstanding stock options, there will be 8,158,969 shares of
common stock outstanding after the issuance and sale of common stock in this
offering.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to the rights of holders
of preferred stock, if any, holders of common stock are entitled to such
dividends as the board of directors may declare out of funds legally available
for the payment of dividends. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining after the payment of liabilities, subject to prior
distribution rights of holders of preferred stock, if any. The common stock has
no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no
redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
Preferred stock
The board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time shares of
preferred stock in one or more series. The board of directors is also
authorized to fix any voting powers and determine the designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights applicable to the
preferred shares, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereon. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change of control of Emulex without further action by
our stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may also adversely affect the
voting, dividend and other rights of the holders of common stock. As further
discussed in the section below, the issuance of preferred stock with voting or
conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of
common stock, including the loss of voting control to others.
Stockholder rights plan
We have 150,000 shares of Series A junior participating preferred stock
authorized and reserved for issuance in connection with our stockholder rights
plan set forth in our Rights Agreement, dated January 19, 1989, and amended
January 18, 1999, with ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. as successor
rights agent.
In January 1989, the board of directors adopted the stockholder rights plan
and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for
each share of common stock to stockholders of record on February 2, 1989. Each
share of common stock issued subsequent to such date, including the shares of
common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus, includes a
corresponding preferred stock purchase right. Each preferred stock purchase
right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us a unit consisting of
1/100th of a share of the Series A preferred stock at a price of $50.00 per
unit, subject to adjustment. The rights become exercisable if any of the
following occur:
43
<PAGE>
. We are the surviving corporation in a merger or other business
combination with a party that has acquired, or obtained the right to
acquire, 20 percent or more of our outstanding shares of common stock;
. A party becomes a beneficial owner of 30 percent or more of our
outstanding shares of common stock;
. A party that has acquired more than 20 percent of our outstanding common
stock in a business combination engages in one or more self-dealing
transactions with us; or
. An event occurs which results in the ownership interest of a party that
has already acquired more than 20 percent of our outstanding common stock
in a business combination being subsequently increased by more than one
percent.
Upon exercise and payment of the then current purchase price for the right, the
right holder will have the right to receive common stock (or, in some
circumstances, cash, property or other securities of ours) having a value equal
to two times the purchase price. Upon the occurrence of certain other events,
each right holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise and payment of
the then current purchase price, common stock of the other party to the
transaction having a value equal to two times the purchase price.
We are entitled to redeem the rights in whole, but not in part, at a price
of $0.01 per right, subject to adjustment, payable in cash or shares of our
common stock, at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration of the rights
in January 2009 or 10 days following the time that a party has acquired
beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the shares of common stock then
outstanding. Any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement governing the rights
may be supplemented or amended by us in our sole and absolute discretion prior
to the tenth day following the time that a party has acquired beneficial
ownership of more than 20 percent of our common stock, subject to extension by
the board of directors. Such supplements or amendments by us may be made
without the approval of the rights holders.
The existence of the stockholder rights plan as well as the ability of the
Board to issue preferred stock and the anti-takeover provision of Delaware law
described below may serve to discourage an acquisition of us or stock purchases
in furtherance of an acquisition.
Anti-takeover provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law and our
certificate of incorporation
Because we are incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, we are
subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly-held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in
which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a
"business combination" includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to an interested stockholder. For purposes of
Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15
percent or more of the corporation's voting capital stock.
The provisions of our stockholder rights plan, our certificate of
incorporation and Delaware law are intended to encourage potential acquirers to
negotiate with us and to allow the board of directors the opportunity to
consider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing stockholder value.
Such provisions, however, may also have the effect of discouraging acquisition
proposals or delaying or preventing a change in control, which may have an
adverse effect on our stock price.

share as we will receive for the 2,000,000 shares that the underwriters have
agreed to purchase. To the extent that the underwriters exercise such option,
each of the underwriters will have a firm commitment, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of such additional
shares that the number of shares of common stock to be purchased by it shown in
the above table represents as a percentage of the 2,000,000 shares offered
hereby. If purchased, such additional shares will be sold by the underwriters
on the same terms as those on which the 2,000,000 shares are being sold.
Indemnity. We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the
underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933 and liabilities arising from breaches of representations
and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to
payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
Lock-up Agreements. Our directors and executive officers, including the
selling stockholder except with respect to the shares being sold by him in the
offering, have agreed with the underwriters' representatives that, for a period
of 90 days after the date of this prospectus, they will not offer to sell,
contract to sell or otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any
option to purchase any shares of common stock or any securities convertible
into, or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or acquire, shares of
common stock, now owned or hereafter acquired directly by such holders or with
respect to which they have the power of disposition, without the prior written
consent of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., which may, in its sole
discretion and at any time or from time to time, without notice, release all or
any portion of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements.
Future Sales. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the date
of this prospectus, we will not, without the prior written consent of
BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., issue, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of any shares of common stock, any options or warrants to purchase any
shares of common stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or
exchangeable for shares of common stock other than

<PAGE>
our sale of shares in this offering, the issuance of common stock upon the
exercise of outstanding options and our grant of options to purchase shares of
common stock under existing stock option or stock purchase plans.
The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to accounts over which they
exercise discretionary authority.
Stabilization. The underwriters' representatives have advised us that,
pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions,
including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition
of penalty bids, which may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the
market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise
prevail in the open market. A "stabilizing bid" is a bid for or the purchase of
the common stock on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or
maintaining the price of the common stock. A "syndicate covering transaction"
is the bid for or the purchase of the common stock on behalf of the
underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriters in
connection with this offering. A "penalty bid" is an arrangement permitting the
underwriters' representatives to reclaim the selling concession otherwise
accruing to an underwriter or syndicate member in connection with the offering
if the common stock originally sold by such underwriter or syndicate member is
purchased by underwriters' representatives in a syndicate covering transaction
and has therefore not been effectively placed by such underwriter or syndicate
member. The underwriters' representatives have advised us that such
transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Passive Market Making. In connection with this offering, certain
underwriters and selling group members (if any) who are qualified market makers
on the Nasdaq National Market may engage in passive market making transactions
in the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market in accordance with Rule 103
of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering,
before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market
makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be
identified as such. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at
a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all
independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, however,
such bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed
upon for us by Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro LLP, Los Angeles, California.
Robert H. Goon, a director and stockholder of Emulex is a partner of that firm.
Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by Cooley
Godward LLP, San Diego, California.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Emulex Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Emulex Corporation and
subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emulex Corporation
and subsidiaries as of June 29, 1997 and June 28, 1998 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended June 28, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

EMULEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except share data)
Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emulex
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company" or "Emulex"). All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Results
The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 28, 1999, the
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows for the nine months ended March 29, 1998 and March 28, 1999,
and the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity for the nine
months ended March 28, 1999, are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as
the audited consolidated financial statements and include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for the fair statement of the results of interim periods. The results
for the nine months ended March 28, 1999 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire year. The data disclosed
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for these periods
are unaudited.
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest June 30. Fiscal
years 1996, 1997 and 1998 each comprised 52 weeks.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements for the periods ended June 30, 1996, June 29, 1997 and June
28, 1998, and the nine months ended March 29, 1998, to conform to the
presentation for the nine months ended March 28, 1999.
Consolidation Charges
Fiscal 1998
On March 25, 1998, the Company announced plans to outsource the
manufacturing of its product lines to K*TEC Electronics, a division of
Kent Electronics Corporation. The Company made this strategic decision
in an attempt to reduce required future capital expenditures and
production costs, as well as to take advantage of K*TEC Electronics'
consolidated purchasing power and materials management capabilities.
This decision resulted in, among other things, the closing of the
Company's Puerto Rico manufacturing subsidiary, streamlining the
Company's product offerings of some of its more mature, lower volume
products (primarily in the network access product lines), and closing
selected sales offices. In conjunction with this decision, the Company
has recorded consolidation charges of $10,646 during fiscal 1998. These
charges include approximately $3,010 for severance and related costs,
$1,022 for impairment of certain property, plant and equipment, $4,775
for reductions in inventory and prepaid expenses related to the
streamlining of the Company's product offerings, $225 for equipment and
office leases and $1,614 for other costs primarily related to the
closure of the Company's Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. The
Company anticipated a worldwide reduction of

<PAGE>
EMULEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
approximately 130 full-time employees, or 48 percent of the workforce,
and 45 temporary workers in Puerto Rico. The majority of the headcount
reduction is in the manufacturing area; however, selected reductions
will also be made in other areas related to the streamlining of product
offerings.
As of June 28, 1998, actions to complete this consolidation plan were
still in process. The remaining consolidation accrual as of June 28,
1998 of $3,173 consisted of approximately $1,518 for severance and
related costs, $155 for equipment and office leases and $1,500 for
other costs primarily related to the closure of the Company's Puerto
Rico manufacturing facility. At June 28, 1998, the Company's work force
still included 45 of the 130 employees discussed above.
During the quarter ended December 27, 1998, the Company completed the
sale of its former manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico for net
proceeds of $2,447 (unaudited), which resulted in a gain of $777
(unaudited). Additionally, during the quarter ended December 27, 1998,
as the Company essentially completed this consolidation plan including
all remaining headcount reductions, the Company recognized additional
consolidation expenses of $1,094 (unaudited) related to severance and
other asset impairment charges. As of March 28, 1999, this
consolidation plan was substantially complete, and the remaining
consolidation accrual of $246 (unaudited) is primarily for remaining
severance and related payments to be made over the next six months.
Fiscal 1997
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company initiated a
consolidation of its operations to reduce its ongoing expense base and
focus its activities in the fibre channel, printer server and wide area
networking markets. Emulex's remote access and host software business,
previously headquarted out of a Bellevue, Washington facility, was
relocated to Emulex's headquarters in Costa Mesa, California. In
addition, the Company downsized its Pacific Rim sales organization and
also made selected reductions at its manufacturing plant in Dorado,
Puerto Rico and at its corporate headquarters. The Company recognized
consolidation charges of $1,280 in fiscal 1997.
The charges related to this consolidation of operations consisted of
approximately $806 for severance and related charges, $236 for office
rent and related charges, $65 for write-off of fixed assets and $173 of
other charges relating primarily to the transition of product support
to Costa Mesa, California. Total headcount worldwide was reduced by
approximately 36 employees. As of June 29, 1997, this consolidation
plan was substantially complete.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has designated the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.
Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the U.S. dollar
at the appropriate historical exchange rates. Income and expense
amounts denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the U.S.
dollar at the average exchange rates during the period, except for
expense items related to non-monetary accounts, which are remeasured at
the appropriate historical exchange rates. Net foreign exchange gains
and losses are included in other nonoperating income in the period
incurred (see note 5).
Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation and
amortization are provided on the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives of two to thirty years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. ("Statement") 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Under
the provisions of Statement 121, the recoverability of long-lived
assets is assessed by determining whether the carrying value of the
asset can be recovered through projected undiscounted future operating
cash flows over its remaining life. The amount of impairment, if any,
is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Intangible Assets
Capitalized software development costs can consist of costs to purchase
software to be used within the Company's products and costs to develop
software internally. Capitalization of purchased software occurs only
if technological feasibility has been established. The establishment of
technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability
of capitalized software development costs require judgment by
management with respect to certain external factors, including but not
limited to, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life
and changes in software and hardware technologies. Purchased software
costs of $300 were capitalized in 1998. No purchased software costs
were capitalized in 1996 or 1997. No internally-developed software
costs were capitalized in 1996, 1997 or 1998. These intangible assets
will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Further, Statement 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," requires that at each
balance sheet date the unamortized costs of a computer software product
be compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by
which the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable value of a
product is to be written off.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment. The Company has
agreements with certain of its distributors and Value Added Resellers
("VARs") to provide price protection and stock rotation privileges with
respect to inventories which the distributors may have on hand when the
Company's published list prices are reduced and/or when items are slow
moving. These agreements may be terminated upon written notice by
either party. Pursuant to the Company's contractual obligations under
these agreements, or in the event of termination, the Company may be
obligated to issue credits to provide price protection and/or to
repurchase a certain portion of a distributor's or VAR's inventory. The
Company records a reserve for estimated price protection and inventory
repurchase when the related revenue is recognized. The Company provides
a warranty of between two and five years on all products, and provides
a reserve for warranty costs at the time of shipment based on actual
historic experience.

Earnings (Loss) per Share
Effective December 28, 1997, the Company adopted Statement 128,
"Earnings per Share." All prior periods have been restated accordingly
(see note 10). Statement 128 specifies new standards designed to
improve the earnings per share ("EPS") information provided in
financial statements by simplifying the existing computational
guidelines, revising the disclosure requirements and increasing the
comparability of EPS data on an international basis. Some of the
changes made to simplify the EPS computations include: (a) eliminating
the presentation of primary EPS and replacing it with basic EPS, with
the principal difference being that the common stock equivalents are
not considered in computing basic EPS, (b) eliminating the modified
treasury stock method and the three percent materiality provision, and
(c) revising the contingent share provisions and the supplemental EPS
data requirements. Statement 128 also makes a number of changes to
existing disclosure requirements.
The adoption of Statement 128 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Stock Options
Prior to July 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plan
in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be
recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On July 1, 1996, the
Company adopted Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which permits entities to recognize as expense over the
vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of
grant. Alternatively, Statement 123 also allows entities to continue to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net
income and pro forma net income per share disclosures for employee
stock option grants made in fiscal 1996 and future years as if the
fair-value-based method defined in Statement 123 had been applied. The
Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion
No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of Statement 123
(see note 9).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the provisions of Statement 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Statement 107 requires all
entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both
assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance
sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Statement
107 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties. As of June 29, 1997 and June 28, 1998, management
believes the fair value of all financial instruments approximated
carrying value.
Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
the reporting of assets and liabilities in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Statement 109 uses the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes, which
F-10
<PAGE>
EMULEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
Comprehensive Income (unaudited)
As of June 29, 1998, the Company adopted Statement 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." Statement 130 establishes new rules for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components;
however, the adoption of Statement 130 had no impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements as the Company had no transactions
that would be considered other comprehensive income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." The new statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. The Company believes the impact of adopting
this new standard on the consolidated financial statements will not be
material.

Based on the Company's historical and anticipated future pre-tax
results of operations, management believes it is more likely than not
that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax
assets existing as of June 28, 1998. Management believes the existing
net deductible temporary differences will reverse during periods in
which the Company generates net taxable income; however, there can be
no assurance that the Company will generate any earnings or any
specific level of continuing earnings in future years. Certain tax
planning or other strategies could be implemented, if necessary, to
supplement earnings from operations to fully realize recorded tax
benefits.
Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets, which allowance will be reduced or
eliminated as certain tax and other uncertainties are resolved, will be
allocated as follows:

During 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, the Company received an
income tax benefit in the amount of $750, $612 and $188 related to
recoveries under a tax sharing agreement with QLogic Corporation, a
former subsidiary of the Company.
At June 28, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of $36,021 which are available to offset
future federal taxable income through 2013 and $4,271 for state
purposes available through 2003. The Company has business credit
carryforwards for federal purposes of approximately $2,402 which are
available to reduce federal income taxes through 2013. In addition, the
Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $1,185 which are available to reduce future federal
regular income taxes over an indefinite period. Additionally, the
Company has approximately $1,634 of research and experimentation credit
carryforwards for state purposes available through 2013.
As a result of Emulex Caribe entering into a tax-free plan of
liquidation for U.S. income tax purposes on May 28, 1998 and the
subsequent assignment of Emulex Caribe's assets to, and assumption of
Emulex Caribe's liabilities by, Emulex Corporation, the Company has
submitted a Ruling Request to Puerto Rico's Secretary of the Treasury
(the Secretary). The Company is requesting that the Puerto Rico
Treasury rule in the Company's favor as to the tax-free treatment of
the liquidation for Puerto Rico income tax purposes. Additionally, the
Company has submitted a Closing Agreement to the Secretary of the
Treasury of Puerto Rico in order to obtain the Puerto Rico Treasury's
agreement as to the amount of tollgate tax resulting from the deemed
distribution from Emulex Caribe to Emulex Costa Mesa as a result of the
liquidation. Although it is not assured, the Company believes it will
be able to obtain Treasury approval on both documents. However, if the
Company is unable to obtain approval on these documents, the Company's
results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity would be
materially adversely affected.
During the quarter ended September 27, 1998, the Company received
approval on its Closing Agreement and made a net payment of $22 of
tollgate tax (unaudited). During the quarter ended December 27, 1998,
the Company received a favorable response to the Ruling Request it
submitted, and the Secretary has agreed that neither Emulex nor Emulex
Caribe will recognize a gain or loss as a result of the liquidation
(unaudited).

The Company is currently undergoing an examination by the California
Franchise Tax Board of the Company's California income tax returns for
years 1989, 1990 and 1991. In the opinion of management, this
examination will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 4Line of Credit
The Company has a $10,000 bank line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank
that expires in September 1999. The agreement allows the Company to
borrow at the bank's prime rate (8.5 percent at June 28, 1998) plus one
half percent. During 1997 and 1998, the Company utilized this line of
credit. However, there were no borrowings outstanding under this line
at June 29, 1997 or June 28, 1998. The bank line of credit is secured
by substantially all assets and requires the Company to satisfy certain
financial and other covenants and conditions, including prescribed
levels of tangible net worth, profitability and liquidity, and
prohibits, among other things, the payment of cash dividends. At June
28, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Note 6Employee Retirement Savings Plan
The Company has a pretax savings and profit sharing plan under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for substantially all domestic
employees. Under the plan, eligible employees are able to contribute up
to 12 percent of their compensation not to exceed the maximum IRS
deferral amount. Company discretionary contributions match up to three
percent of a participant's compensation. The Company's contributions
under this plan were $287, $271 and $270 in 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
The Company has a similar plan for all employees in the Company's
Puerto Rico facility under Section 165(e) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the plan, eligible employees are able to contribute up to 10
percent of their compensation not to exceed the maximum IRS deferral
amount. Company discretionary contributions match up to three percent
of a participant's compensation. The Company's contributions under this
plan were $88, $86 and $116 for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Note 7Export Revenues and Significant Customers
The Company designs and markets three major distinct product families
within one industry segment: high-speed fibre channel products, printer
servers and network access products. The Company

markets these products through distributors, resellers and to OEMs. The
Company's export revenues were approximately $20,700, $29,330 and
$20,712 representing 40, 45 and 35 percent of net revenues for 1996,
1997 and 1998, respectively. The majority of export shipments are to
the European marketplace.
In 1996, IBM Corporation represented 15 percent of net revenues. In
1997, Reuters and Sequent Computer Systems represented 13 and 10
percent of net revenues, respectively. In 1998, Sequent Computer
Systems and IBM Corporation represented 12 and 11 percent of net
revenues, respectively. Furthermore, the Company's top five customers
accounted for 44 percent and 41 percent of net revenues in 1997 and
1998, respectively. The Company derived approximately 39, 64 and 71
percent of its net revenues from sales to OEMs in 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Emulex's operating results could be adversely affected if
sales to one or more such customers significantly decline, or if any
one of these customers develop alternative sources for the Company's
products.

Note 9Stockholders' Equity
Stock Option Plans
Under the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), the
exercise price of options granted will not be less than the fair market
value at the date of grant. The total number of shares of common stock
available for grant under the Plan is 2,780,000. Unless otherwise
provided by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board
administering the Plan, each option granted under the Plan becomes
exercisable at the rate of 25 percent one year after the date of grant
with an additional 6.25 percent becoming exercisable each three-month
interval thereafter.
On October 9, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the Emulex
Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the
"Director Plan") which allows for a maximum of 100,000 shares of common
stock. The Director Plan provides that an option to purchase
15,000 shares of common stock of the Company will be granted to each
non-employee director of the Company upon the first date that such
director becomes eligible to participate. These options shall be
exercisable as to one-third of the shares on each anniversary of the
grant if the director is still a director of the Company. In addition,
on each yearly anniversary of the date of the initial grant, each
eligible director shall automatically be granted an additional option
to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. These options shall be
exercisable as to one-half of the shares on the six month anniversary,
one quarter on the nine month anniversary and one quarter on the year
anniversary of the grant date. Options granted under the Director Plan
are non-qualified stock options. The exercise price per option granted
will not be less than the fair market value at the date of grant. No
option granted under the Director Plan shall be exercisable after the
expiration of the earlier of (i) ten years following the date the
option is granted or (ii) one year following the date the optionee
ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason. In 1998, options
to purchase 60,000 shares were granted under the Director Plan.

The Company applies APB Opinon No. 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation
cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial
statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the
fair value at the grant date for its stock options under Statement 123,
the Company's net income (loss) would have been reduced to the pro
forma amounts indicated below:
<TABLE>

Pro forma diluted earnings (loss) per

======== ====== ========
</TABLE>
Pro forma net income (loss) reflects only options granted in 1996, 1997
and 1998. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost
for stock options under Statement 123 is not reflected in the pro forma
net income (loss) amounts presented above because compensation cost is
reflected over the options' vesting period of up to four years and
compensation cost for options granted prior to July 3, 1995 is not
considered.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions for 1996, 1997 and 1998: risk-free interest rates of 5.9,
6.3 and 5.7 percent, respectively; dividend yield of 0.0 percent;
average expected lives of 3.4, 3.6 and 3.2 years, respectively; and
volatility of 66.1, 66.1 and 64.4 percent, respectively. The weighted-
average fair value per option granted in 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $9.24,
$8.19 and $7.04, respectively. The Black-Scholes model, as well as
other currently accepted option valuation models, was developed to
estimate the fair value of freely-tradable, fully-transferable options
without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the
Company's stock option plans. These models also require highly
subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and
expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated fair
value on the grant date.
Shareholder Rights Plan
The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan that provides for Preferred
Stock Purchase Rights ("Rights") that attach to and transfer with each
share of common stock. When the Rights become exercisable, each Right
entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one unit consisting of
1/100 of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for
$50 per unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights become exercisable if
(i) a person or group ("Acquiring Person") has acquired, or
F-18

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
obtained the right to acquire, 20 percent or more of the outstanding
shares of common stock, (ii) a person becomes the beneficial owner of
30 percent or more of the outstanding shares of common stock, (iii) an
Acquiring Person engages in one or more "self-dealing" transactions
with the Company or (iv) an event occurs which results in an Acquiring
Person's ownership interest being increased by more than 1 percent.
Upon exercise and payment of the purchase price for the Rights, the
Rights holder (other than an Acquiring Person) will have the right to
receive Company common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash,
property or other securities of the Company) equal to two times the
purchase price. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at any
time prior to the expiration of the Rights in January 2009, or 10 days
following the time that a person has acquired beneficial ownership of
20 percent or more of the shares of common stock then outstanding. The
Company is entitled to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at
a price of $0.01 per Right, subject to adjustment.
Note 10Earnings (Loss) per Share
Effective December 28, 1997, the Company adopted Statement 128,
"Earnings per Share." In accordance with Statement 128, primary
earnings per share have been replaced with basic earnings per share and
fully diluted earnings per share have been replaced with diluted
earnings per share which includes potentially dilutive securities such
as outstanding stock options. Prior periods have been restated to
conform to Statement 128.
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss)
per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if
the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive
effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted earnings
per share by application of the treasury stock method. The following
table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
As the Company recorded a net loss for the year ended June 30, 1996,
all 801,198 outstanding stock options were excluded from the
calculation of diluted loss per share, because the effect would have
been antidilutive. Options to purchase 301,450 shares of common stock
outstanding at June 29, 1997, were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share for the year then ended. These options were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of
the common shares of $16.21 during the period, and therefore the effect
would be antidilutive. Furthermore, as the Company had a net loss for
the year ended June 28, 1998, all 959,041 outstanding stock options
were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, because
the effect would have been antidilutive.
Options to purchase 23,350 shares (unaudited) of common stock at prices
in excess of $35.97 per share (unaudited) were outstanding at March 28,
1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share for the nine month period then ended. Additionally, options to
purchase 78,450 shares (unaudited) of common stock at prices in excess
of $22.26 per share (unaudited) were outstanding at March 28, 1999, but
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for
the nine month period then ended. These options were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common shares
during the respective periods, and therefore, the effect would be
antidilutive. Furthermore, as the Company had a net loss for the nine
months ended March 29, 1998, all 963,791 outstanding stock options
(unaudited) were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per
share, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 11Subsequent Event
On July 6, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a repricing
of outstanding stock options granted under the Emulex Corporation
Employee Stock Option Plan. Employees were able, at their discretion,
to reprice outstanding options with a current option price per share in
excess of $6.00 to an exercise price of $6.00 per share which was the
market value of July 6, 1998. Stock options totaling 542,874 shares
were repriced. The vesting schedule of the options which were repriced
remains unchanged; however, no options which have been repriced may be
exercised for a period of 12 months, or until July 6, 1999, regardless
of prior vesting. This repricing specifically excluded all options held
by Paul F. Folino, the Company's chief executive officer. Furthermore,
this repricing did not apply to any shares issued under the Director
Plan.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("Section 145"), the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
directors will not be liable to the Company or to any Stockholder for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the full extent that
such limitation or elimination of liability is permitted under Delaware law.
Also as permitted by Section 145, the Company's Bylaws provide that the
Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted
under Delaware law. Pursuant to the Bylaws and Section 145, the Company will
indemnify each director and officer against any liability incurred in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which he may
be involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request of the
Company.
Each director and officer is also entitled to indemnification against costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending or investigating
any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which he may be involved by
reason of serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. The Bylaws
authorize the Company to advance funds to a director or officer for such costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) upon receipt of an undertaking in
writing by such director or officer to repay such amounts if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Company if a determination is
reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum of
disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if
obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs) by independent
legal counsel, that based upon the facts known to the Board or counsel at the
time such determination is made: (i) the director or officer acted in bad faith
or deliberately breached his duty to the Company or its stockholders; and (ii)
as a result of such actions by the director or officer, it is more likely than
not that it will ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not
entitled to indemnification.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Bylaws are
not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Bylaws,
any agreement or any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the
Bylaws continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) 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 benefit
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 that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(c) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed be part of this registration statement
as of the time it was declared effective.
(d) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

Underwriting Agreement
________, 1999
BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.
Dain Rauscher Wessels
Morgan Keegan & Company
Needham & Company
As Representatives of the several Underwriters
c/o BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.
555 California Street, Suite 2600
San Francisco, CA 94104
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Introductory. Emulex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A (the
"Underwriters") an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value
$0.20 per share (the "Common Shares"); and the stockholder of the Company named
in Schedule B (the "Selling Stockholder") proposes to sell to the Underwriters
an aggregate of 100,000 Common Shares. The 2,000,000 Common Shares to be sold
by the Company and the 100,000 shares of Common Shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholder are collectively called the "Firm Shares". In addition, the Company
has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional
315,000 Common Shares (the "Option Shares"), as provided in Section 2. The Firm
Shares and, if and to the extent such option is exercised, the Option Shares are
collectively called the "Shares". BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., Dain
Rauscher Wessels, Morgan Keegan & Company and Needham & Company have agreed to
act as representatives of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the
"Representatives") in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares. Each
Share includes attached preferred stock purchase rights issuable under the
Company's stockholder Rights Agreement, dated January 19, 1989, as amended.
The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-75753), which contains a form of prospectus to be used in connection with
the public offering and sale of the Shares. Such registration statement, as
amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in
the form in which it was declared effective by the Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the "Securities Act"), including all documents incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference therein (each an "Incorporated Document" and
collectively the "Incorporated Documents") and any
<PAGE>
information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to
Rule 430A or Rule 434 under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the
"Exchange Act"), is called the "Registration Statement". Any registration
statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act
is called the "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement", and from and after the date
and time of filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement the term
"Registration Statement" shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.
Such prospectus, in the form first used by the Underwriters to confirm sales of
the Shares, is called the "Prospectus"; provided, however, if the Company has,
with the consent of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., elected to rely upon
Rule 434 under the Securities Act, the term "Prospectus" shall mean the
Company's prospectus subject to completion (each, a "preliminary prospectus")
dated [___] (such preliminary prospectus is called the "Rule 434 preliminary
prospectus"), together with the applicable term sheet (the "Term Sheet")
prepared and filed by the Company with the Commission under Rules 434 and 424(b)
under the Securities Act and all references in this Agreement to the date of the
Prospectus shall mean the date of the Term Sheet. All references in this
Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,
a preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the Term Sheet, or any amendments or
supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with
the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval
System ("EDGAR"). All references in this Agreement to financial statements and
schedules and other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like
import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and
schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be;
and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the
filing of any document under the Exchange Act which is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as
the case may be.
The Company and the Selling Stockholder hereby confirm their respective
agreements with the Underwriters as follows:
Section 1. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents,
warrants and covenants to each Underwriter as follows:
A. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
represents, warrants and covenants to each Underwriter as follows:
(a) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement
and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement have been declared effective by the
Commission under the Securities Act. The Company has complied to the
Commission's satisfaction with all requests of the Commission for additional or
supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is in effect
and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the
Commission.
<PAGE>
Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied in all
material respects with the Securities Act and, if filed by electronic
transmission pursuant to EDGAR (except as may be permitted by Regulation S-T
under the Securities Act), was identical to the copy thereof delivered to the
Underwriters for use in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. Each
of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective and at all
subsequent times, complied and will comply in all material respects with the
Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as
amended or supplemented, as of its date and at all subsequent times, did not and
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding
sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration
Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any post-effective
amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto,
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any
Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Representatives expressly
for use therein. There are no contracts or other documents required to be
described in the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement which have not been described or filed as required.
(b) Offering Materials Furnished to Underwriters. The Company has
delivered to the Representatives four complete conformed copies of the
Registration Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts filed as a
part thereof, and conformed copies of the Registration Statement (without
exhibits) and preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Representatives have
reasonably requested for each of the Underwriters.
(c) Distribution of Offering Material By the Company. The Company has not
distributed and will not distribute, prior to the later of the Second Closing
Date (as defined below) and the completion of the Underwriters' distribution of
the Shares, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of
the Shares other than a preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement.
(d) The Underwriting Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of, the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnification
hereunder may be limited by applicable law and except as the enforcement hereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by
general equitable principles.
(e) Authorization of the Shares To Be Sold by the Company. The Shares to
be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company have been duly authorized for
issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and

before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator
involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or their property is

(v) All Necessary Permits, Etc. The Company and each subsidiary possess
such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the
appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to
conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary
has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or
permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding, could result in a Material Adverse Change.
(w) Title to Properties. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has
good and marketable title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned in
the financial statements referred to in Section 1(A)(j) above, in each case free
and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities,
claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect
the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or
proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such subsidiary. The real

Company or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such
exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made
or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or
personal property by the Company or such subsidiary.
(x) Tax Law Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all
necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and have
paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any
related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them,
except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.
The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable
financial statements referred to in Section 1(j) above in respect of all
federal, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to
which the tax liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has not been

Material Adverse Change.

subsidiaries owns or possesses adequate rights to use all patents, patent rights
or licenses, inventions, collaborative research agreements, trade secrets, know-
how, trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights which are necessary
to conduct its businesses as described in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus and any
<PAGE>
Incorporated Document; the expiration of any patents, patent rights, trade
secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names or copyrights would not result
in a Material Adverse Change that is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus;

infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of the Company by others with

decision, ruling or finding, might have a Material Adverse Change. There is no
claim being made against the Company regarding patents, patent rights or
licenses, inventions, collaborative research, trade secrets, know-how,
trademarks, service marks, trade names or copyrights. The Company and its
subsidiaries do not in the conduct of their business as now or proposed to be
conducted as described in the Prospectus infringe or conflict with any right or
patent of any third party, or any discovery, invention, product or process which
is the subject of a patent application filed by any third party, known to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, which such infringement or conflict is
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change.
(z) Year 2000 Preparedness. There are no issues related to the Company's,
or any of its subsidiaries', preparedness for the Year 2000 that (i) are of a
character required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement
or Prospectus or any Incorporated Document by the Securities Act or by the
Exchange Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder which
have not been accurately described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any Incorporated Document or (ii) might reasonably be expected to result in
any Material Adverse Change or that might materially affect their properties,
assets or rights. All internal computer systems and each Constituent Component
(as defined below) of those systems and all computer-related products and each
Constituent Component (as defined below) of those products of the Company and
each of its subsidiaries fully comply with Year 2000 Qualification Requirements.
"Year 2000 Qualifications Requirements" means that the internal computer systems
and each Constituent Component (as defined below) of those systems and all
computer-related products and each Constituent Component (as defined below) of
those products of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) have been
reviewed to confirm that they store, process (including sorting and performing
mathematical operations, calculations and computations), input and output data
containing date and information correctly regardless of whether the date
contains dates and times before, on or after January 1, 2000, (ii) have been
designated to ensure date and time entry recognition and calculations, and date
data interface values that reflect the century, (iii) accurately manage and
manipulate data involving dates and times, including single century formulas and
multi-century formulas, and will not cause an abnormal ending scenario within
the application or generate incorrect values or invalid results involving such
dates, (iv) accurately process any date rollover, and (v) accept and respond to
two-digit year date input in a manner that resolves any ambiguities as to the
century. "Constituent Component" means all software (including operating
systems, programs, packages and utilities), firmware, hardware, networking
components, and peripherals provided as part of the configuration. The Company
has inquired of material vendors as to their preparedness for the Year 2000 and
has disclosed in the
<PAGE>
Registration Statement or Prospectus any issues that might reasonably be
expected to result in any Material Adverse Change.

similar fees or charges under Federal law or the laws of any state, or any

of the rules and requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Investment Company Act"). The Company is not, and after receipt of

"controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act and will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become
subject to the Investment Company Act.
(cc) Insurance. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries are insured by
recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such

deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited
to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company
and its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and
earthquakes, general liability and Directors and Officers liability. The Company
has no reason to believe that it or any subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew
its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to
obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or
appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would
not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither of the Company nor any
subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for
which it has applied.
(dd) Labor Matters. To the best of Company's knowledge, no labor
disturbance by the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or
is imminent; and the Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor
disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, subassemblers,
value added resellers, subcontractors, original equipment manufacturers,
authorized dealers or international distributors that might be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Change.
(ee) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation. The Company has not taken
and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might
be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of
the price of the Common Shares to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

held by each securityholder. The Company has provided to counsel for the
Underwriters true, accurate and complete copies of all of the Lock-up Agreements

incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter
are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and, when read together with the
other information in the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement and
any amendments thereto become effective and at the First Closing Date and the
Second Closing Date, as the case may be, will not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(ii) Exchange Act Reports Filed. The Company has filed all reports
required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
(jj) Conditions for Use of Form S-3. The Company has satisfied the
conditions for use of Form S-3, as set forth in the general instructions

employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, has made any contribution or
other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state or
foreign office in violation of any law or of the character required to be
disclosed in the Prospectus.
(ll) Environmental Laws. (i) The Company is in compliance with all rules,
laws and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage and disposal of
toxic substances and protection of health or the environment ("Environmental
Laws") which are applicable to its business, except where the failure to comply
would not result in a Material Adverse Change, (ii) the Company has received no
notice from any governmental authority or third party of an asserted claim under
Environmental Laws, which claim is required to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and any Incorporated Document, (iii) the Company
will not be required to make future material capital expenditures to comply with
Environmental Laws and (iv) no property which is owned, leased or occupied by
the Company has been designated as a Superfund site pursuant to the
Comprehensive Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42
U.S.C. (S) 9601, et seq.), or otherwise designated as a contaminated site under
applicable state or local law.
<PAGE>
(mm) Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance. In the ordinary
course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and
its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated
costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating
expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with
Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints
on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the
basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Company has
reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
(oo) ERISA Compliance . The Company and its subsidiaries and any "employee
benefit plan" (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder
(collectively, "ERISA")) established or maintained by the Company, its
subsidiaries or their "ERISA Affiliates" (as defined below) are in compliance in
all material respects with ERISA. "ERISA Affiliate" means, with respect to the
Company or a subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in
Sections 414(b),(c),(m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the "Code") of
which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No "reportable event" (as
defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with
respect to any "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company,
its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No "employee benefit plan"
established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA
Affiliates, if such "employee benefit plan" were terminated, would have any
"amount of unfounded benefit liabilities" (as defined under ERISA). Neither the
Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or
reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with
respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any "employee benefit plan" or
(ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each "employee benefit plan"
established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA
Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is
so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act,
which would cause the loss of such qualification.
Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the
Representatives or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to the matters
set forth therein.

Stockholder shall be $[___] per share.
(b) The First Closing Date. Delivery of the Firm Shares to be purchased by
the Underwriters and payment therefor shall be made by the Company and the
Representatives at 6:00 a.m. San Francisco time, at the offices of Jeffer,
Mangels, Butler & Marmaro, 2121 Avenue of the Stars, 10th Floor, Los Angeles,
California 90067 (or at such other place as may be agreed upon among the
Representatives and the Company), (i) on the third (3rd) full business day
following the first day that Shares are traded, (ii) if this Agreement is
executed and delivered after 1:30 P.M., San Francisco time, the fourth (4th)
full business day following the day that this Agreement is executed and
delivered or (iii) at such other time and date not later that seven (7) full
business days following the first day that Shares are traded as the
Representatives and the
<PAGE>
Company may determine (or at such time and date to which payment and delivery
shall have been postponed pursuant to Section 8 hereof), such time and date of
payment and delivery being herein called the "Closing Date"; provided, however,
that if the Company has not made available to the Representatives copies of the
Prospectus within the time provided in Section 4(d) hereof, the Representatives
may, in their sole discretion, postpone the Closing Date until no later that two
(2) full business days following delivery of copies of the Prospectus to the
Representatives.
(c) The Option Shares; the Second Closing Date. In addition, on the basis
of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the
terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants
an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up
to an aggregate of 315,000 Option Shares from the Company at the purchase price
per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Shares. The option granted
hereunder is for use by the Underwriters solely in covering any over-allotments
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Firm Shares. The option
granted hereunder may be exercised at any time upon notice by the
Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30
days from the date of this Agreement. The time and date of delivery of the
Option Shares, if subsequent to the First Closing Date, is called the "Second
Closing Date" and shall be determined by the Representatives and shall not be
earlier than three nor later than five full business days after delivery of such
notice of exercise. If any Option Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter
agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Option Shares
(subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the
Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total
number of Option Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth
on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of
Firm Shares. The Representatives may cancel the option at any time prior to its
expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
(d) Public Offering of the Shares. The Representatives hereby advise the
Company and the Selling Stockholder that the Underwriters intend to offer for
sale to the public, as described in the Prospectus, their respective portions of
the Shares as soon after this Agreement has been executed and the Registration
Statement has been declared effective as the Representatives, in their sole
judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.
(e) Payment for the Shares. Payment for the Shares to be sold by the
Company shall be made at the First Closing Date (and, if applicable, at the
Second Closing Date) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
order of the Company. Payment for the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholder shall be made at the First Closing Date by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the order of the Custodian.
It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for
their own account and the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept
delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the
Firm Shares and any Option Shares the Underwriters have agreed to purchase.
BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., individually and not as the Representative
of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any
Shares to be purchased by any
<PAGE>
Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representative by
the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as the case may be, for the
account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such
Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
The Selling Stockholder hereby agrees that (i) it will pay all stock
transfer taxes, stamp duties and other similar taxes, if any, payable upon the
sale or delivery of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder to the
several Underwriters, or otherwise in connection with the performance of such
Selling Stockholder's obligations hereunder and (ii) the Custodian is authorized
to deduct for such payment any such amounts from the proceeds to such Selling
Stockholder hereunder and to hold such amounts for the account of such Selling
Stockholder with the Custodian under the Custody Agreement.
(f) Delivery of the Shares. The Company and the Selling Stockholder shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered a credit representing the Firm Shares to an
account or accounts at The Depository Trust Company as designated by the
Representatives for the accounts of the Representatives and the several
Underwriters at the First Closing Date, against the irrevocable release of a
wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase
price therefor. The Company shall also deliver, or cause to be delivered a
credit representing the Option Shares to an account or accounts at The
Depository Trust Company as designated by the Representatives for the accounts
of the Representatives and the several Underwriters, at the First Closing Date
or the Second Closing Date, as the case may be, against the irrevocable release
of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase
price therefor. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place
specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the
Underwriters.
(g) Delivery of Prospectus to the Underwriters. Not later than 12:00 noon
on the second business day following the date the Shares are released by the
Underwriters for sale to the public, the Company shall deliver or cause to be
delivered copies of the Prospectus in such quantities and at such places as the
Representatives shall request.
Section 3. Covenants of the Company and the Selling Stockholder. The
Company further covenants and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:
A. Covenants of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with
each Underwriter as follows:
(a) Registration Statement Matters. The Company will (i) use its best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective or, if the
procedure in Rule 430A of the Securities Act is followed, to prepare and timely
file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act a Prospectus
in a form approved by the Representatives containing information previously
omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance
on Rule 430A of the Securities Act and (ii) not file any amendment to the
Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus of which the
Representatives shall not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy
or to which the Representatives shall have reasonably objected in writing or
which is not in
<PAGE>
compliance with the Securities Act. If the Company elects to rely on Rule 462(b)
under the Securities Act, the Company shall file a Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement with the Commission in compliance with Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act prior to the time confirmations are sent or given, as specified
by Rule 462(b)(2) under the Securities Act, and shall pay the applicable fees in
accordance with Rule 111 under the Securities Act.
(b) Securities Act Compliance. The Company will advise the Representatives
promptly (i) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto shall have become effective, (ii) of receipt of any comments from the
Commission, (iii) of any request of the Commission for amendment of the
Registration Statement or for supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional
information and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the
Prospectus or of the institution of any proceedings for that purpose. The
Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus and to obtain as soon as
possible the lifting thereof, if issued.
(c) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the
Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters in endeavoring to qualify the
Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (both national
and foreign) as the Representatives may reasonably have designated in writing
and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such
information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company
shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
qualified or required to file such a consent. The Company will, from time to
time, prepare and file such statements, reports and other documents, as are or
may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period
as the Representatives may reasonably request for distribution of the Shares.
(d) Amendments and Supplements to the Prospectus and Other Securities Act
Matters. The Company will comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the
completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated in this Agreement
and the Prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus is required by
law to be delivered by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur as a
result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of
the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters, it becomes necessary to
amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered
to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary at any time to amend or
supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the Company promptly will
prepare and file with the Commission, and furnish at its own expense to the
Underwriters and to dealers, an appropriate amendment to the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Prospectus so that the Prospectus as so amended
or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so
delivered, be misleading, or so that the Prospectus will comply with the law.
(e) Copies of any Amendments and Supplements to the Prospectus. The
Company agrees to furnish the Representatives, without charge, during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the First Closing Date
or such
<PAGE>
date, as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, the Prospectus is no
longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an
Underwriter or dealer (the "Prospectus Delivery Period"), as many copies of the
Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto (including any documents
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein) as the Representatives
may request.
(f) Insurance. The Company shall (i) obtain Directors and Officers
liability insurance in the minimum amount of $10 million which shall apply to
the offering contemplated hereby and (ii) shall cause BancBoston Robertson
Stephens Inc. to be added as an additional insured to such policy in respect of
the offering contemplated hereby.
(g) Notice of Subsequent Events. If at any time during the ninety (90) day
period after the Registration Statement becomes effective, any rumor,
publication or event relating to or affecting the Company shall occur as a
result of which in your opinion the market price of the Common Shares has been
or is likely to be materially affected (regardless of whether such rumor,
publication or event necessitates a supplement to or amendment of the
Prospectus), the Company will, after written notice from you advising the
Company to the effect set forth above, forthwith prepare, consult with you
concerning the substance of and disseminate a press release or other public
statement, reasonably satisfactory to you, responding to or commenting on such
rumor, publication or event.
(h) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the
sale of the Shares sold by it in the manner described under the caption "Use of
Proceeds" in the Prospectus.
(i) Transfer Agent. The Company shall engage and maintain, at its expense,
a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares.
(j) Earnings Statement. As soon as practicable, the Company will make
generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering the twelve-month period
ending [June 25, 2000] that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act.
(k) Periodic Reporting Obligations. During the Prospectus Delivery Period
the Company shall file, on a timely basis, with the Commission and the Nasdaq
National Market all reports and documents required to be filed under the
Exchange Act.
(l) Agreement Not to Offer or Sell Additional Securities. The Company will
not, without the prior written consent of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.,
for a period of 180 days following the date of the Prospectus, offer, sell or
contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction which is
designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by
actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or
otherwise by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in
privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or
indirectly, or announce the offering of, any other Common Shares or any
securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Shares; provided,
however, that the Company may (i) issue and sell Common Shares pursuant to any
director or
<PAGE>
employee stock option plan, stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan
of the Company in effect at the date of the Prospectus and described in the
Prospectus so long as none of those shares may be transferred by any director or
officer of the Company during the period of 90 days from the date that the
Registration Statement is declared effective (the "Lock-Up Period") and the
Company shall enter stop transfer instructions with its transfer agent and
registrar against the transfer of any such Common Shares by any director or
officer and (ii) the Company may issue Common Shares issuable upon the
conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants outstanding at the date of
the Prospectus and described in the Prospectus.
(m) Future Reports to the Representatives. During the period of five years
hereafter the Company will furnish to the Representatives (i) as soon as
practicable after the end of each fiscal year, copies of the Annual Report of
the Company containing the balance sheet of the Company as of the close of such
fiscal year and statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the year then ended and the opinion thereon of the Company's independent public
or certified public accountants; (ii) as soon as practicable after the filing
thereof, copies of each proxy statement, Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other report filed by the
Company with the Commission, the NASD or any securities exchange; and (iii) as
soon as available, copies of any report or communication of the Company mailed
generally to holders of its capital stock.
(n) Exchange Act Compliance. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the
Company will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act in the manner and within
the time periods required by the Exchange Act.
B. Covenants of the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder further
covenants and agrees with each Underwriter:
(a) Agreement Not to Offer or Sell Additional Securities. The Selling
Stockholder will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make a disposition of
Securities (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) now owned or hereafter acquired
directly by such person or with respect to which such person has or hereafter
acquires the power of disposition, otherwise than (i) as a bona fide gift or
gifts, provided the donee or donees thereof agree in writing to be bound by this
restriction, (ii) as a distribution to partners or shareholders of such person,
provided that the distributees thereof agree in writing to be bound by the terms
of this restriction, (iii) with respect to dispositions of Common Shares
acquired on the open market or (iv) with the prior written consent of BancBoston
Robertson Stephens Inc. The foregoing restriction has been expressly agreed to
preclude the holder of the Securities from engaging in any hedging or other
transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in
a disposition of Securities during the Lock-Up Period, even if such Securities
would be disposed of by someone other than such holder. Such prohibited hedging
or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale (whether
or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including,
without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any Securities or
with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index)
that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from
Securities. Furthermore, such person has also agreed and consented to the entry
of stop transfer instructions with the Company's
<PAGE>
transfer agent against the transfer of the Securities held by such person except
in compliance with this restriction.
(b) Delivery of Forms W-8 and W-9. To deliver to the Representatives
prior to the First Closing Date a properly completed and executed United States
Treasury Department Form W-8 (if the Selling Stockholder is a non-United States
person) or Form W-9 (if the Selling Stockholder is a United States Person).
(c) Notification of Untrue Statements, etc. If, at any time prior to the
date on which the distribution of the Common Shares as contemplated herein and
in the Prospectus has been completed, as determined by the Representatives, the
Selling Stockholder has knowledge of the occurrence of any event as a result of
which the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, in each case as then amended
or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such Selling
Stockholder will promptly notify the Company and the Representatives.
Section 4. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The
obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Shares as
provided herein on the First Closing Date and, with respect to the Option
Shares, the Second Closing Date, shall be subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties on the part of the Company and the Selling
Stockholder set forth in Sections 1(A) and 1(B) hereof as of the date hereof and
as of the First Closing Date as though then made and, with respect to the Option

such counsel shall have been furnished with such papers and information as they
may reasonably have requested to enable them to pass upon the matters referred
to in this Section.
<PAGE>
(c) No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and prior to the First Closing Date, or the Second Closing Date,
as the case may be, there shall not have been any Material Adverse Change in the
condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, operations, business or business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise from
that set forth in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, which, in your sole
judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your sole judgment,
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering of the Shares
as contemplated by the Prospectus.
(d) Opinion of Counsel for the Company. You shall have received on the
First Closing Date, or the Second Closing Date, as the case may be, an opinion
of Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro, counsel for the Company, substantially in

Second Closing Date, addressed to the Underwriters and with reproduced copies or
signed counterparts thereof for each of the Underwriters.
Counsel rendering the opinion contained in Exhibit B may rely as to
questions of law not involving the laws of the United States or the State of
California and Delaware upon opinions of local counsel, and as to questions of
fact upon representations or certificates of officers of the Company, the
Selling Stockholder and of government officials, in which case their opinion is
to state that they are so relying and that they have no knowledge of any
material misstatement or inaccuracy in any such opinion, representation or
certificate. Copies of any opinion, representation or certificate so relied
upon shall be delivered to you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, and to

condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, operations, business or business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise from
that set forth in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, which, in your sole
judgment, is material and

adverse and that makes it, in your sole judgment, impracticable or inadvisable

period ended __________, ___ (the "Quarterly Financial Statements"), (iv) state
that in the course of such review, nothing came to their attention that leads

generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied across the periods
presented, and address other matters agreed upon by KPMG LLP and you. In
addition, you shall have received from KPMG LLP a letter addressed to the

their review of the Company's system of internal accounting controls, to the
extent they deemed necessary in establishing the scope of their examination of

disclose any weaknesses in internal controls that they considered to be material
weaknesses.

Underwriters in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining
exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the
Shares for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws or the
provincial securities laws of Canada or any other country, and, if requested by
the Representatives, preparing and printing a "Blue Sky Survey", an
"International Blue Sky Survey" or other memorandum, and any supplements
thereto, advising the Underwriters of such qualifications, registrations and

counsel.
The Selling Stockholder further agrees with each Underwriter to pay
(directly or by reimbursement) all fees and expenses incident to the performance
of their obligations under this Agreement which are not otherwise specifically
provided for herein, including but not limited to (i) fees and expenses of
counsel and other advisors for such Selling Stockholder, (ii) fees and expenses
of the Custodian and (iii) expenses and taxes incident to the sale and delivery
of the Common Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters
hereunder (which taxes, if any, may be deducted by the Custodian under the
provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement).
This Section 5 shall not affect or modify any separate, valid agreement
relating to the allocation of payment of expenses between the Company, on the
one hand, and the Selling Stockholder, on the other hand.
Section 6. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If this Agreement
is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 4, Section 7, Section 8
or Section 9, or if the sale to the Underwriters of the Shares on the First
Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on
the part of the Company or the Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement
herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse
the Representatives and the other Underwriters (or such Underwriters as have
terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves), severally, upon demand
for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have
<PAGE>
been reasonably incurred by the Representatives and the Underwriters in
connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Shares,
including but not limited to fees and disbursements of counsel, printing
expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.
Section 7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters.
(1) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its
officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or
such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common
law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement
is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or
is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto,
including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A or
Rule 434 under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the
representations and warranties of the Company contained herein; or (iv) in whole
or in part upon any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder
or under law; or (v) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to
act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the
Shares or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or
referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or
based upon any matter covered by clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, provided
that the Company shall not be liable under this clause (v) to the extent that a
court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such
acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter
through its bad faith or willful misconduct; and to reimburse each Underwriter
and each such controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees
and disbursements of counsel chosen by BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.) as
such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling
person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or
paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided,
however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent,
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives
<PAGE>
expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and provided, further,
that with respect to any preliminary prospectus, the foregoing indemnity
agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person
asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased Shares, or any
person controlling such Underwriter, if copies of the Prospectus were timely
delivered to the Underwriter pursuant to Section 2 and a copy of the Prospectus
(as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such
Underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Shares to such person, and
if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect
giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. The indemnity
agreement set forth in this Section 7(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities
that the Company may otherwise have.
(2) The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter, its officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which
such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any
litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), insofar as such
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as
contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a
part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 434 under the Securities Act, or the
omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of
subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 7(a)(2) to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company or such Underwriter by such Selling
Stockholder, directly or through such Selling Stockholder's representatives,
specifically for use in the preparation thereof; or (iii) in whole or in part
upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Selling
Stockholder contained herein; or (iv) in whole or in part upon any failure of
the Selling Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or
(v) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any
Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Shares or the
offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in
any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any
matter covered by clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, provided that the
Selling Stockholder shall not be liable under this clause (v) to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such
acts or failures to act
<PAGE>
undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its bad faith or
willful misconduct; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling
person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel
chosen by BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.) as such expenses are reasonably
incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with
investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Selling Stockholder by the Representatives expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto); and provided, further, that with respect to
any preliminary prospectus, the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not inure to
the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense purchased Shares, or any person controlling such
Underwriter, if copies of the Prospectus were timely delivered to the
Underwriter pursuant to Section 2 and a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended
or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter
to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of the Shares to such person, and if the
Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving
rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. The indemnity agreement
set forth in this Section 7(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the
Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and Officers. Each
Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement, the Selling Stockholder and each person, if any, who
controls the Company or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, or any such director, officer,
Selling Stockholder or controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any
litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such
Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or
actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company and the Selling Stockholder by the Representatives
expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any such director,
officer, Selling Stockholder or controlling person for any legal and other
expense reasonably incurred
<PAGE>
by the Company, or any such director, officer, Selling Stockholder or
controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(b) shall be in
addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Information Provided By the Underwriters. Each of the Company and
the Selling Stockholder hereby acknowledges that the only information that the
Underwriters have furnished to the Company and the Selling Stockholder expressly
for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth
in the table in the first paragraph and the second paragraph under the caption
"Underwriting" in the Prospectus; and the Underwriters confirm that such
statements are correct.
(d) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission
so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7 or to the extent it is not
prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or
intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect,
jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there
may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying
party's election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the
indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the
indemnifying party (BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. in the case of Section
7(b) and Section 8), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to
such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the
<PAGE>
indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified
party at the expense of the indemnifying party, in each of which cases the fees
and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(e) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 7 shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses
of counsel as contemplated by Section 7(d) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days
after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance
with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or
threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought
hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or
proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(f) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7
is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 7(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable
law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company bears to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table
on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the
Underwriters on the other and the
<PAGE>
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(f) were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7(f). The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred
to above in this Section 7(f) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (f), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions
applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter and (ii) no person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in
this Section 7(f) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective
underwriting obligations and not joint.
(g) Timing of Any Payments of Indemnification. Any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to
indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses are incurred, but in all cases, no later than thirty
(30) days of invoice to the indemnifying party.
(h) Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in
this Section 7 and the representation and warranties of the Company set forth in
this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless
of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person
controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any
persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment
therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to
any Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity,
contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7.
(i) Acknowledgements of Parties. The parties to this Agreement hereby
acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by
counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the provisions of this Section 7, and are fully informed
regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this
Section 7 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to
investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate
disclosure is made in the Registration Statement and Prospectus as required by
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
<PAGE>
Section 8. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on
the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as the case may be, any one
or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that
it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate
number of Common Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of
the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be
obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Firm Common Shares
set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate
number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting
Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the
Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase
the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the First Closing Date or the Second
Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail
or refuse to purchase Shares and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to
which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be
purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and
the Company for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 48 hours after
such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to
any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, and Section 7 shall at
all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case
either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the
First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no
event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or
arrangements may be effected.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" shall be deemed to
include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section
8. Any action taken under this Section 8 shall not relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under
this Agreement.
Section 9. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the First Closing
Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to
the Company and the Selling Stockholder if at any time (i) trading or quotation
in any of the Company's securities shall have been suspended or limited by the
Commission or by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or trading in securities generally on
either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been
suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally
established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or the NASD; (ii) a
general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York,
Delaware or California authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak
or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or
calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets,
or any substantial change or development involving a prospective change in
United States' or international political, financial or economic conditions, as
in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to market the Common Shares in the manner and on
the terms described in the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of
securities; (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives there shall have
occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) the
<PAGE>
Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident
or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representatives
may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the
Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any
termination pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of
(a) the Company or the Selling Stockholder to any Underwriter, except that the
Company and the Selling Stockholder shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses
of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 hereof,
(b) any Underwriter to the Company or the Selling Stockholder, or (c) of any
party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7 shall at
all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Section 10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company, of its officers and of the several Underwriters set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter
or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any
controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

courts of the State of California in each case located in the City and County of
San Francisco (collectively, the "Specified Courts"), and each party irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in

Judgment"), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in
any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or

United States irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, which currently
maintains a San Francisco office at 49 Stevenson Street, San Francisco,
California 94105, United States of America, as its agent to receive service of
process or other legal summons for purposes of any such suit, action or
proceeding that may be instituted in any state or federal court in the City and
County of San Francisco.
<PAGE>
(c) Waiver of Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each
party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all
immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction,
service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to
which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect
to any Related Judgment, each party waives any such immunity in the Specified
Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim
or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related
Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity
pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as
amended.
Section 15. Failure of the Selling Stockholder to Sell and Deliver Common
Shares]. If the Selling Stockholder shall fail to sell and deliver to the
Underwriters the Shares to be sold and delivered by such Selling Stockholder at
the First Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, then the Underwriters may at
their option, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company and the
Selling Stockholder, either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability
on the part of any Underwriter or, except as provided in Sections 5, 6, and 7
hereof, the Company or the Selling Stockholder, or (ii) purchase the shares
which the Company has agreed to sell and deliver in accordance with the terms
hereof. If the Selling Stockholder shall fail to sell and deliver to the
Underwriters the Shares to be sold and delivered by such Selling Stockholder
pursuant to this Agreement at the First Closing Date, then the Underwriters

Re: Emulex Corporation (the "Company") Registration Statement on Form S-3
Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3,
Registration No. 333-75753 (the "Registration Statement"), filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 2,415,000 shares
of common stock, $0.20 par value ("Common Stock"), and related preferred stock
purchase rights (the "Rights") issuable pursuant to the Company's stockholder
Rights Agreement, dated January 19, 1989, as amended (the "Rights Agreement").
The 2,415,000 shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement
consist of: (i) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for sale by the Company (the
"Company Stock"), (ii) 100,000 shares of Common Stock for sale by one selling
stockholder (the "Selling Stockholder Stock"), and (iii) up to 315,000 shares
of Common Stock that may be sold by the Company upon exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option (the "Company OverAllotment Stock"). The
Company Stock, the Selling Stockholder Stock and the Company Over-Allotment
Stock are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Registered Stock."
We are familiar with the actions taken and proposed to be taken by the Company
in connection with the authorization and proposed issuance and sale of the
Company Stock.
It is our opinion that:
1. When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act,
subject to said actions being duly taken and completed by you as now
contemplated prior to the issuance of the Company Stock and the Company
Over-Allotment Stock and subject to the appropriate qualification of the
Registered Stock by the appropriate authorities of the various states in
which the such Registered Stock will be sold, the Company Stock and the
Company Over-Allotment Stock will, upon the issuance and the sale thereof
in the manner referred to in the Registration Statement, be legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
2. The Selling Stockholder Stock is legally issued, fully-paid and
nonassessable.
3. Assuming that the Board of Directors of the Company, after fully
informing itself with respect to the Rights Agreement and the Rights and
after giving due consideration to all relevant matters, determined that the
execution and delivery of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the
Rights thereunder would be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders, and assuming further that the Rights Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Rights Agent, then (i) the Rights
attributable to the Company Stock and the Company Over-Allotment Stock
will, upon the issuance and sale thereof in the manner referred to in the
Registration Statement, be legally issued; and (ii) the Rights attributable
to the Selling Stockholder Stock are legally issued.
<PAGE>
In connection with the opinion set forth in paragraph 3 above, we note that
the question whether the Board of Directors of the Company might be required to
redeem the Rights at some future time will depend upon the facts and
circumstances existing at that time and, accordingly, is beyond the scope of
such opinion.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus
which is a part thereof.
Robert H. Goon, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a
partner of this firm. Mr. Goon is the beneficial owner of 20,276 shares of
Common Stock of the Company (which includes 20,000 shares subject to options
which are presently exercisable).
Respectfully submitted,
