Dear Kyle:

It is with great pleasure that we extend this formal offer to join Emulex
Corporation or one of its affiliates together “Emulex” or the “Company”, as
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reporting to Jeff Benck,
President and CEO, with duties and responsibilities as discussed during your
interview. These responsibilities and duties may be changed from time-to-time by
Emulex.

Your base salary will be $13,461.54 bi-weekly ($350,000 annually), paid on
Emulex’s regular payroll dates.

The following will also be offered to you:

Executive Incentive Plan:
You will be eligible for a targeted incentive compensation bonus of 60% of your
base salary, reviewed quarterly. The Incentive Criteria will be based on meeting
certain corporate financial measures as determined by the Emulex Board of
Directors. Terms and conditions of the plan will be communicated to you
following your joining Emulex.

Long Term Incentive:
You will be recommended for a grant valued at $900,000, delivered in restricted
stock units (80%), and stock options (20%). All equity comes with a three year
vesting period, which will be granted when authorized by the Emulex Board of
Directors or its Compensation Committee. Approved equity will be granted
effective on the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the date you
actually commence employment with Emulex, or the date the grant is approved by
the Compensation Committee, whichever occurs later. Any equity granted will be
governed by the terms of the applicable stock plan.

Change in Control:
You will be recommended as a participant in the Emulex Change In Control
Retention Plan, to be effective on the date approved by the Compensation
Committee.

Severance Agreement:
You will be offered a separate Severance Agreement that will entitle you to
receive certain severance benefits (one year salary, COBRA, and equity
acceleration) if your employment is terminated during your first two years of
employment without “Cause” by Emulex or by you for “Good Reason” (each as such
term will be defined in the Severance Agreement).

Benefits:
Information regarding our benefits program, which is available to all full-time
employees, will be sent to you upon completion of your pre-employment screen.
Included in this program are a medical/dental/vision plan, life insurance and a
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan.

As an employee of the Company, you are eligible to receive life insurance equal
to four times (4x) your annual base salary up to a maximum insurance amount of
$800,000. In addition you will be eligible for short and long term disability.
These plans are paid for entirely by the Company and are insured through Sun
Life Insurance Company.
