-------------------------
* To be filed by Amendment.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporate Law permits indemnification
of officers, directors and other corporate agents under certain circumstances
and subject to certain limitations. Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and our amended and restated by-laws, provide that we shall
indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or
permitted by law.

     Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that
our directors will not be personally liable to us or any stockholder for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such
exemption is not permitted by law. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporate
Law provides that officers and directors will not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except
liability for:

     - any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
       stockholders;

     - acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or

     - unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
       redemption.

     This provision has no effect on any non-monetary remedies that may be
available to us or our stockholders, nor does it relieve us or our officers or
directors from compliance with federal or state securities laws.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been informed 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.

     Our amended and restated by-laws also permit us to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any officer or director for any liability arising out of
his or her actions in such capacity, regardless

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3

of whether our by-laws would otherwise permit indemnification for that
liability. We currently have directors' and officers' liability insurance which
would indemnify our directors and officers against damages arising out of claims
which might be made against them based on their negligent acts or omissions
while acting in their capacity as officers and directors.

     The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated,
under certain circumstances, to indemnify our directors, officers and
controlling persons against some liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933. Reference is made to the form of underwriting agreement
filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we
have issued the securities set forth below that were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933. The share amounts and option exercise prices set forth
below have been adjusted to give effect to the 2-for-1 stock split of the common
stock to be effected prior to the closing of this offering.

  (a) Issuance of Capital Stock.

     On October 1, 1997, we sold 81,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock
in exchange for substantially all of the assets of McDATA Holdings Corporation
pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement among us, McDATA Holdings Corporation
and EMC Corporation dated as of October 1, 1997.

     On October 1, 1997, we sold 10,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock
for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000.

     No underwriters were involved in the foregoing sales of securities. The
sales of capital stock were made in reliance upon an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act,
and its related rules and regulations, regarding sales by an issuer not
involving a public offering. All of the foregoing securities are deemed
restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933.

  (b) Grants and Exercises of Stock Options.


     From inception through April 30, 2000, we granted stock options to purchase
17,910,700 shares of our Class B common stock at exercise prices ranging from
$1.00 to $13.75 per share to employees and directors pursuant to our 1997 Stock
Option Plan.


     From inception through April 30, 2000, we issued and sold an aggregate of
2,774,810 shares of our Class B common stock to employees and directors for
aggregate consideration of $2,808,000 pursuant to exercises of options granted
under our 1997 Stock Option Plan.


     The issuance of options and the issuance of Class B common stock upon the
exercise of these options was exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933 either pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as a
transaction pursuant to a compensatory benefit plan, or pursuant to this Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as a transaction by an issuer not involving
a public offering. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted
securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in the
denominations and registered in the names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

     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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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

                                      II-4
<PAGE>   6

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.

     The Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) That 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 of 1933 is deemed to be
     part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared
     effective.

          (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
     of prospectus is deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
