COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     The current Compensation Committee of the Company consists of Mr. Wells and
Ms. Miltner, neither of whom is now, or was at any time during the last
completed fiscal year of the Company, an officer or employee of the Company.
During fiscal year 1999, no executive officer of the Company served as a member
of the Compensation Committee (or its equivalent) or as a director of any entity
whose executive officers served on either the Compensation Committee or the
Board of Directors of the Company.

DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION

     Directors' Fees. For service on the Board of Directors, directors who are
not employees of the Company receive a quarterly retainer of $6,000 plus $1,000
for each meeting of the Board of Directors in excess of five per year, and
reimbursement for travel expenses. In addition, the chairmen of the audit and
compensation committees receive an additional quarterly retainer of $1,000.
Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation
for serving on the Board of Directors. Directors are entitled to reimbursement
for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attendance at board and committee
meetings.

     Stock Options. On January 12, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company
adopted the QLogic Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Director Plan") under which shares of common stock of the Company may be issued
pursuant to exercise of stock options granted under the plan to directors who
are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Director Plan
was approved by Emulex prior to the distribution of the Company's shares by
Emulex to its then Stockholders, as a result of which QLogic became a separate
publicly held company. In June 1996, the Board adopted, and in August 1996 the
stockholders approved, amendments to the Director Plan to (i) extend the
termination date of the plan by five years to December 31, 2001, (ii) increase
the number of shares of common stock subject to the Plan by 150,000, (iii)
provide for initial grants to new directors of options to purchase 16,000 shares
of common stock and (iv) provide for annual grants to each non-employee director
(other than the Chairman of the Board) of options to purchase 6,000 shares of
common stock, and annual grants to the Chairman of the Board of options to
purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. As so amended, a total of 400,000 shares
of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Director Plan. Prior to
such amendment, each non-employee director of the Company had received an
automatic grant of an option to purchase 25,000 shares of Company common stock
upon the date on which such director first became an eligible director.

     Under the terms of the Director Plan, as amended, new directors receive an
option grant at fair market value to purchase 16,000 shares of common stock upon
election to the Board, non-employee directors (other than the Chairman of the
Board) receive annual grants of options to purchase 6,000 shares of common
stock, and a non-employee Chairman of the Board receives annual grants of
options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. As of July 19, 1999, an
aggregate of 167,999 shares of common stock had been issued upon exercise of
stock options granted under the Director Plan, options for a total of 87,000
shares were outstanding and the remaining 145,001 shares were available for
grant. All stock options granted under the Director Plan have 10-year terms and
vest immediately upon grant.

     Other Compensation. Gary E. Liebl was paid a total of $60,297 for
consulting services rendered to the Company at the request of the Board of
Directors in fiscal year 1999. In addition, for his years of service as the
Company's founding Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Liebl was paid
$2,064,682 upon his retirement from the Board in May 1999. Mr. Liebl has also
agreed not to become an officer or director of any of the Company's competitors
in exchange for $10,000 per month for up to 24 months.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

     Based on its review of copies of reporting forms and certifications of the
Company's directors and executive officers, the Company believes that all filing
requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
applicable to its directors and executive officers in the year ended March 28,
1999 were satisfied.
